Michael Zahn, Chief Execution Officer of Deutsche Wohnen AG, remarked: 'During the past weeks' negotiations with the financing banks, we have clearly realized that years of trusting co-operation prove invaluable. Our banks are familiar with our business model, are acquainted with the parties involved, and our new partner banks - like UniCredit Bank AG - know who they are cooperating with. Our ability to raise substantial amounts of equity and outside capital, both quickly and professionally, makes us the ideal partner in large transactions like the just realized BauBeCon deal.'
