Citycon signs EUR 600 million syndicated loan facility

Citycon Oyj has today signed a EUR 600 million credit facility agreement with an
international bank group. The facility consists of a seven year amortizing term
loan of EUR 435 million, and a EUR 165 million revolving credit facility of up to
five years.

The facility will be used to refinance Citycon's existing credit facility of
originally EUR 450 million, raised in 2004 and maturing in 2009, and to finance
company's property acquisitions.

The initial interest margins of the facility are 0.5% - 0.675% and the new
facility will reduce Citycon's annual financing costs by about EUR 0.7 million
compared to the previous facility and will extend the average loan maturity of
Citycon's loan portfolio.

The mandated lead arrangers of the facility are Nordea Bank Finland Plc, Danske
Bank A/S, Eurohypo AG and OKO Bank plc with five additional banks joining in the
bank group. The facility was substantially oversubscribed at syndication.
