Aroundtown Property Holdings plc (the "Guarantor", and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Group")
issued EUR 600,000,000 1.50% Series D Bonds due 2022 (the "Notes") on 3 May 2016 (the "Issue Date"). The

Principal Trust Deed, the "Trust Deed") in connection with the substitution of ATF Netherlands B.V. (the "Issuer")
as the principal obligor under the Notes and the granting by the Guarantor of an unconditional and irrevocable

the case may be). In such case, holders of the Notes ("Holders") will have the right to elect that their Notes shall

No person has been authorised to give any information or to make any representation other than
those contained in this Prospectus in connection with the Notes and, if given or made, such
information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuer or
the Guarantor. The delivery of this Prospectus shall not, under any circumstances, create any
implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the Issuer or the Guarantor since the
date hereof or the date upon which this Prospectus has been most recently supplemented or that
there has been no adverse change in the financial position of the Issuer or the Guarantor since
the date hereof or the date upon which this Prospectus has been most recently supplemented or
that any other information supplied in connection with the Notes is correct as of any time
subsequent to the date on which it is supplied or, if different, the date indicated in the document
containing the same.
The distribution of this Prospectus in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into
whose possession this Prospectus comes are required by the Issuer and the Guarantor to inform
themselves about and to observe any such restriction. The Notes and the Guarantee have not
been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the
United States. Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes and the Guarantee may not be offered,
sold or delivered within the United States or to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under
the Securities Act ("Regulation S")).
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of, or an invitation by or on behalf of the Issuer to
subscribe for, or purchase, any Notes.
Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor accepts responsibility for the information contained in this
Prospectus. To the best of the knowledge of the Issuer and the Guarantor (each of which has
taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case) the information contained in this
Prospectus is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the import of
such information.
Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor further confirms that (i) this Prospectus contains all relevant
information with respect to the Issuer and the Guarantor as well as to the Group and to the Notes
and the Guarantee which is material in the context of the issue and offering of the Notes,
including all relevant information which, according to the particular nature of the Issuer and the
Guarantor and the Notes and the Guarantee, is necessary to enable investors and their
i


investment advisers to make an informed assessment of the assets and liabilities, financial
position, profits and losses, and prospects of the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Group and of the
rights attached to the Notes and the Guarantee; (ii) the statements contained in this Prospectus
relating to the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Group, the Notes and the Guarantee are in every
material particular true and accurate and not misleading; (iii) there are no other facts in relation to
the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Group, the Notes or the Guarantee the omission of which would, in
the context of the issue and offering of the Notes, make any statement in the Prospectus
misleading in any material respect; and (iv) reasonable enquiries have been made by the Issuer
and the Guarantor to ascertain such facts and to verify the accuracy of all such information and
statements.
Prospective investors should have regard to the factors described under the section headed "Risk
Factors" in this Prospectus. This Prospectus identifies in general terms certain information that a
prospective investor should consider prior to making an investment in the Notes. However, a
prospective investor should conduct its own thorough analysis (including its own accounting, legal
and tax analysis) prior to deciding whether to invest in any Notes as any evaluation of the
suitability for an investor of an investment in the Notes depends upon a prospective investor's
particular financial and other circumstances, as well as on the specific terms of the Notes and, if it
does not have experience in financial, business and investment matters sufficient to permit it to
make such a determination, it should consult its financial adviser prior to deciding to make an
investment on the suitability of the Notes.
Investors should rely only on the information contained in this Prospectus. Neither the Issuer nor
the Guarantor have authorised anyone to provide investors with different information. The Issuer
and the Guarantor are not making any offer of the Notes. You should not assume that the
information contained in this Prospectus is accurate as at any date other than the date on the
cover of this Prospectus regardless of the time of delivery of this Prospectus.
In this Prospectus, unless otherwise specified, references to a "Member State" are references to
a Member State of the European Economic Area and references to "", "EUR" or "Euro" are to
the currency introduced at the start of the third stage of European economic and monetary union
and as defined in Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 974/98 of 3 May 1998 on the
introduction of the euro, as amended. References to "billions" are to thousands of millions.
This Prospectus is drawn up in the English language. Certain legislative references and technical
terms have been cited in their original language in order that the correct technical meaning may
be ascribed to them under applicable law.
Certain figures included in this Prospectus have been subject to rounding adjustments;
accordingly, figures shown for the same category presented in different tables may vary slightly
ii


and figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures
which precede them.
In compliance with the requirements of the Prospectus Directive, this Prospectus will be available
on the website of the Irish Stock Exchange (www.ise.ie).
Forward-looking Statements
This Prospectus may contain forward-looking statements. A forward-looking statement is a
statement that does not relate to historical facts and events. Forward-looking statements are
based on analyses or forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable
or foreseeable. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of terminology (without
limitation) such as "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "expects", "intends", "may", "might",
"plans", "projects", "will", "would", "could" and similar terms and phrases, including references and
assumptions. Forward-looking statements in this Prospectus are based on the Issuer's and the
Guarantor's current estimates and assumptions about future events, and are subject to
substantial uncertainties, risks and other factors which could cause actual results to differ
materially from and be worse than the results that have expressly or implicitly been assumed or
described in these forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical
facts and events, contained herein regarding the Issuer's or the Guarantor's or the Group's
strategy, goals, plans, future financial position, run rate figures, projected revenues and costs or
prospects are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent
risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Future events or actual
results could differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by or underlying forward-
looking statements. Neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor undertake any obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements.
Market Share Information and Statistics
This Prospectus contains information and statistics regarding the market share of the Issuer and
the Group, which are derived from, or are based upon, the Issuer's and the Guarantor's analysis
of data obtained from the sources set out in the section "Description of the Guarantor and the
Group--Market Overview" below. All third party information is cited alongside where it is used.
Such data have been reproduced accurately in this Prospectus and, as far as the Issuer is aware
and is able to ascertain from information published by such entities, no facts have been omitted
which would render such reproduced information inaccurate or misleading. Although the Issuer
believes that the external sources used are reliable, the Issuer has not independently verified the
information provided by such sources. Neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor represent that such
information is accurate. Furthermore, this Prospectus contains statements regarding the Issuer's
industry and the Guarantor's and Group's relative competitive position in the industry that are not
iii


based on published statistical data or information obtained from independent third parties, but are
based on the Issuer's or Guarantor's experience and their own investigation of market conditions,
including their own elaborations of such published statistical or third-party data. Although the
Issuer's and Guarantor's estimates are based on information obtained from its customers, sales
force, trade and business organisations, market survey agencies and consultants, government
authorities and associations in their industry which they believe to be reliable, there is no
assurance that any of these assumptions are accurate or correctly reflect the Issuer's, the
Guarantor's or the Group's positions in the industry.
Unless otherwise indicated, the information presented in this Prospectus regarding the Group's
property portfolio is based on the fair value assessment of the relevant properties as of the
relevant date and includes, in addition to the commercial property portfolio of the Group, a
proportional part of the residential property portfolio of Grand City Properties S.A. ("GCP") based
on the Guarantor's 33.25% interest in GCP. For more information, see "Risk Factors--Risk
Factors Relating to the Guarantor and the Group--Risks Relating to the Real Estate Market--The
Group's performance is dependent on demographic, economic, political and market
developments primarily in Germany, as well as in the Netherlands and the other areas where the
properties in the Group Portfolio are located."

RISK FACTORS
Set forth below is a description of risk factors that are material for the assessment of the market
risks associated with the Notes and risk factors that may affect the Issuer's ability to fulfil its
obligations under the Notes and, as applicable, the Guarantor's ability to fulfil its obligations under
the Guarantee.
Potential investors should carefully read and consider the risk factors described below in addition
to all other information contained in this Prospectus and should consult with their own
professional advisors (including their financial, accounting, legal and tax advisors) in connection
with any purchase of the Notes. The realisation of one or more of these risks could individually or
together with other circumstances adversely affect the business activities of the Issuer, the
Guarantor or the Group or have a material adverse effect on the business, net assets, cash flows,
financial condition, results of operations, net profits or prospects of the Issuer, the Guarantor or
the Group. The market price of the Notes could decline as the result of any of these risks, and
investors could lose al or part of their investments. The risks described below may not be the
only risks to which the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Group are exposed. Additional risks which are
presently not known to the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Group or which are currently considered
immaterial could also adversely affect the business operations of the Issuer, the Guarantor or the
Group and have a material adverse effect on the business, net assets, cash flows, financial
condition, results of operations, net profits or prospects of the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Group.
The order in which the risk factors are presented below neither indicates the probability of their
occurrence nor their significance, nor the scope of their potential financial consequences should
they occur. In addition, investors should be aware that the risks described below might occur
simultaneously and thus have an unpredictable or more substantial impact on the Issuer, the
Guarantor or the Group.
Words and terms that are defined in the section "Conditions of the Notes" below or elsewhere in
this Prospectus have the same meaning when used in this section "Risk factors".
Potential investors should, among other things, consider the following:
Risk Factors Relating to the Issuer
The Issuer is dependent on the Guarantor and other entities of the Group.
The Issuer acts as a financing subsidiary of the Guarantor. The principal activity of the Issuer is
the provision of loans to members of the Group financed with funds acquired from the capital
market, bank loans and loans from other companies of the Group. Its assets mainly consist of

2



financial investments in Group companies, receivables from loans to Group companies, and other
receivables owed by Group companies. The Issuer may issue further notes in the future.
The ongoing business activities of the Issuer depend on the ability of the Guarantor and other
companies of the Group to fulfil their payment obligations vis-à-vis the Issuer or the obligation to
assume losses. If individual or all members of the Group were unable to meet their payment
obligations to the Issuer in due time, this could considerably impair the ability of the Issuer to fulfil
its obligations under the Notes or cause the market price for the Notes to decline.
Risk Factors Relating to the Guarantor and the Group
Risks Relating to the Real Estate Market
The Group's performance is dependent on demographic, economic, political and market
developments primarily in Germany, as well as in the Netherlands and the other areas
where the properties in the Group Portfolio are located.
The Guarantor is a specialist real estate investment company, with a focus on value-add income
generating properties primarily in Germany, the Netherlands and other real estate markets. As of
October 2016, the Guarantor directly or indirectly held commercial real estate with a fair market
value of approximately 4.6 billion, consisting primarily of office, hotel, retail and other types of
commercial real estate (the "Commercial Portfolio"). The Guarantor's residential property
portfolio consists of its indirect interest in the residential property portfolio of Grand City
Properties S.A. ("GCP") based on the Guarantor's 33.25% interest in GCP (the "Residential
Portfolio", and together with the Commercial Portfolio, the "Group Portfolio"). GCP is a publicly
traded specialist real estate company that focuses on investing in the German residential real
estate market. As of June 30, 2016, GCP's total assets were approximately 5.6 billion, its loan-
to-value ratio was approximately 39% and its total equity was approximately 2.7 billion.
The Residential Portfolio is not consolidated in the Guarantor's consolidated financial statements,
and the Guarantor's interest in GCP is presented as investment in an equity-accounted investee.
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Guarantor recorded approximately 120 million as
share in profit from investments in equity-accounted investees and had an operating profit of
approximately 609 million. For more information, see "--Financial Risks--The Guarantor's cash
flow requirements and possible future interest payments are dependent on the profitability of the
Group or must be met with borrowed funds or by selling property."
The Guarantor's performance depends on the performance of the Group Portfolio, which in turn
depends on the performance of the real estate markets in Germany, the Netherlands and the

3



other areas where the properties that are included in the Group Portfolio are located (collectively,
the "Portfolio Regions"). Because the performance of real estate markets is driven by changes
in the overall economy, the Group's performance is affected not only by factors that impact the
commercial and residential real estate markets, but also by factors that impact the economy more
generally, such as interest rates, levels of public debt and inflation rates. Real estate markets
tend to fluctuate, with asset values and rents reflecting both positive and negative developments.
Demographic, economic, political and market factors may have an impact on the performance of
the Group Portfolio, and economic developments in and related to the real estate markets in the
Portfolio Regions and their individual submarkets may significantly impact the Group's business
and future prospects. These developments play an important role in determining property values,
rent levels, re-letting periods, overall demand, vacancy rates and turnover rates, and may vary
significantly across the Portfolio Regions. Although the Group Portfolio is located primarily in
Germany and the Netherlands, the Group Portfolio is more concentrated in certain regions of
those countries, such as Berlin, Munich, North Rhine Westphalia, Dresden, Leipzig, Halle,
Hamburg, Frankfurt and Hannover in Germany, and Amsterdam and Rotterdam in the
Netherlands. Thus, the performance of the Guarantor and the Group depends not only on general
economic and demographic developments in Germany and the Netherlands, but also on the
particular circumstances in the Portfolio Regions.
The market for commercial real estate, and the performance of the Commercial Portfolio,
depends on economic and demographic developments in Germany, the Netherlands and the
other Portfolio Regions. Factors such as changes in disposable income or industrial activity, the
availability of credit financing, interest rates, taxation policies, economic growth, population
growth, unemployment rates, consumer confidence and other factors may all impact the level of
demand for commercial real estate. A decline in population levels, particularly among younger
segments of the working population, or a decline in purchasing power or higher unemployment
rates could reduce the demand for office, hotel, retail and other commercial properties. Declines
in economic and population growth rates in the Portfolio Regions could lead to lower demand for
residential real estate as well as to lower demand for commercial property, and, as a result, may
adversely affect the Group's ability to achieve or maintain its desired occupancy rates, rent levels
and weighted average lease terms ("WALTs"). Local economic developments, such as
employment conditions or significant income or liquidity problems for tenants in these areas, may
also lead to reduced rental income and increased vacancy or turnover rates. In such
circumstances, the Group may not be able to let or re-let properties on attractive terms or at all, or
may only be able to do so after making significant additional investments.
In particular, the retail market in the Netherlands has been greatly affected by the global
economic crisis of 2008 and 2009, as well as its aftermath, which has resulted in several
bankruptcies of large retail chains such as Scheer & Foppen, Dolcis, Scapino and in substantial
