Zug Estates posted a significant increase in net income in 2015. Operating
income before depreciation and revaluation rises by 5% to CHF 39.6 million,
while income from the revaluation of investment properties (net) amounts to CHF
50.6 million.

In the 2015 financial year, the Zug Estates Group achieved a good operating
result before depreciation and revaluation of CHF 39.6 million, 5% more than in
the previous year. Income from the revaluation of investment properties (net)
rose by CHF 29.3 million year-on-year to CHF 50.6 million. Taking account of the
investments and a land consolidation measure totaling CHF 46.9 million, as well
as the disposal of properties with a market value of CHF 26.7 million, the
market value of the Zug Estates Group's portfolio rose 7% to CHF 1.2 billion as
at December 31, 2015.

The successful positioning of the Suurstoffi site in Risch Rotkreuz as a premium
residential and business location, the on-schedule completion of phase two of
Suurstoffi and successful leases played a major role in the revaluation result.
"The valuation reflects the strong appeal of our sites in Zug and Risch
Rotkreuz," explained Group CEO Tobias Achermann. "Both the location and nature
of our properties give them excellent qualities. Furthermore, our portfolio's
usage mix is balanced, with about 30% residential property and significant
development reserves, which we will develop over the next few years." Owing to
the good operating result and the substantial surplus from the revaluation of
investment properties (net), the 2015 figure for net income (over CHF 67
million) will be significantly above the previous year's figure of CHF 45.1
million.

Further information on business in 2015 and the full Annual Report for 2015 will
be published on March 11, 2016.
