27 May 2008 Ebertz & Partner group, Cologne cooperates with BCM, London BCM-group (Brown Cooper Marples), London, http://www.browncoopermarples.com, one of the leading experts for commercial real estate investment in Great Britain and holder of the Chartered Surveyor seal has acquired an interest by means of a profit-participating loan in Ebertz & Partner group, http://www.ebertz.de to capture new markets in cooperation with the real estate initiator from Cologne. BCM have been successful in Europe in the field of capital transactions and supervision of a diverse investor base from Ireland, India, East Africa and the Middle East. A change of generations took place with Ebertz & Partner group on 31th December 2007. The founders Dr. Herbert Ebertz and Dr. Karl Bartel retired to pass on the active part to their youngest partner, Mr. Dirk Iserlohe who continues the business with new structures and a holding company for E&P Real Estate (real estate), SenVital (operating company for nursing homes) and Neue Dorint GmbH (operating company for hotels). At first the real estate expert BCM declared an interest to buy a majority interest into E&P Holding GmbH & Co. KG together with other investors from London at the end of 2007. With regard to the continuity of the business policy Dirk Iserlohe, CEO of the E&P Holding preferred instead of this to establish an investor's club with at present 30 members with profit-participating loans of about €35 m. In this special form of financing the dormant partners receive a minimum interest rate and share in view of the business success of the group. At present BCM is member of the investor's club, which in total have raised €50 m. This investment gives a pre-emption right over 40 % of the shares of the holding company. With the investment into the Ebertz & Partner group in Cologne, BCM demonstrates further commitment to the European Real Estate market after their purchase of Wankdorf Stadium in Bern and of the majority interests of A10-Center in Berlin-Wildau and its confidence in Germany's sole private initiator of commercial real estate investment trusts and to the new CEO, Dirk Iserlohe in particular. BCM operates in Great Britain and in Ireland as well as in the United Arab Emirates, particularly in Dubai, in India and in Kenya and intends to introduce Ebertz & Partner group into these investor markets and also to assist E&P identify UK real estate assets for local German investors. In return, the German real estate investor will assist BCM in the real estate markets of Germany and Europe.
