ACRON HELVETIA
Investment Concept
Swiss real-estate projects are interesting for
ACRON when they meet a series of criteria: For
example, ACRON invests only in office, retail and
logistics properties as well as hotels in attractive
locations. The total investment volume must not
exceed CHF 200 million.
If the company decides in favor of an acquisition,
ACRON will create an investment company
organized as an “Aktiengesellschaft” (company
limited by shares) – in this case, ACRON HELVETIA
V Immobilien AG – which acquires the property at
its own risk and holds it as its only asset, according
to the ACRON principle of “One Asset – One
Company”. Investors are invited to participate in
the share capital.
4
This investment concept offers investors
optimal transparency, because they receive
comprehensive information on the predicted
development of the investment. This includes not
only real-estate data, but also location factors,
tenants’ credit ratings, lease agreements, and
forecasts including all calculations as well as
contractual details.
Another important advantage of this innovative
investment concept is the largely tax-free
distributions.
• Closed real-estate investment: The investor, as a
shareholder, takes a share in ACRON HELVETIA VII.
• Sole investment content: High-value and
currently largest office property in Switzerland in
accordance with the Minergie-P® standard.
• Full and long-term leased office property
PORTIKON as the basis for stable cash flow.
• Mix of reputable tenants with two pharmaceutical
companies as main tenants with a strong credit
rating: long-term leases provide for high income
security.
• Glattpark, a location with high growth potential.
• High security due to conservative financing.
hares entitle shareholders to a pro-rated share in
•S
the expected distributions of the company. Forecast:
6.25 % p.a. relative to the issue price of the shares
(2010-2013); increase to 6.50 % p.a. from 2014.
• Until at least 2024 the distributions will be tax-free
for investors. From 2025 at the earliest, a portion
of the distributions will be paid out as dividend
(taxable).
• After the placement of the share capital approved
for the offering, the shares will be posted to the
securities portfolios of the investors.
• Followed by: Listing of ACRON HELVETIA VII on
the stock exchange (BX Berne eXchange); opening
shares to the public and thus also to nonqualified
investors.
• Monitoring the application of funds: Handled by a
bank or financial institution.

“Safe haven”
Switzerland – a secure
and innovative
investment location
Switzerland impresses
with fantastic numbers
Since the nadir of the recession in early 2009,
the Swiss economy has recovered and developed
better than expected. The 4th quarter of 2009,
with growth of 0.7 percent from the previous
quarter, saw the highest growth since the end of
2007. The office vacancy rate in major cities in
2009 was less than three percent. In comparison
to the richer OECD countries, the decline of
the Swiss economy for the full year 2009 was
relatively minor at 1.5 percent, which gives
Switzerland a relatively good starting position.
The economy is recovering rapidly and this trend
is continuing. For 2010 the experts at UBS expect
to see growth of 2.5 percent.
Experts do not see the risk of a housing bubble in
Switzerland. According to them, Switzerland had
suffered through its real-estate crisis in the early
nineties, and today the prices are still lower than
they were then.

Zurich, Switzerland’s
economic engine
Reputable neighbors
at Glattpark, Zurich-Opfikon
Zurich, one of the leading financial centers in the
world, forms the center of gravity of the Swiss
property market. Only 380,000 people live here.
But 19 percent of all jobs in Switzerland are
centered here.
PORTIKON is located in the Glattpark district of
the Opfikon municipality and, due to its excellent
connections to international transport networks, is
among the most developed cities in Switzerland. In
addition, within the canton of Zurich it is among the
jurisdictions with the most advantageous tax rates –
a location advantage for many international hotels
and businesses.
In the economic area of Zurich, about a third of
Switzerland with 3.2 million inhabitants, around
140,000 businesses with 1.6 million employees
generate a national income of CHF 170 billion.
Eighty-five of the one hundred largest Swiss
companies have their headquarters within an
hour’s drive from the city center of Zurich. These
include global corporations such as ABB, IBM,
Kraft Foods, Google, Siemens, UBS and Credit
Suisse.

The district has experienced years of dynamic growth,
with originally separate neighborhoods growing more
and more into a functionally interdependent urban
system. The modern “Glattalbahn” rapid transit rail,
highway connections to Berne, Basel, St. Gallen and
Chur, two suburban-train stations and bus lines render
the office property PORTIKON easily accessible from
all directions. The airport is nine minutes away, and
Zurich’s city center about 15 minutes.
The attractiveness of Glattpark is also reflected in the
companies that are located in close proximity. These
include, for example, Allreal Generalunternehmung
AG with its eight-story office building Lightcube, the
food company Kraft Foods Europe, which opened
here its Swiss headquarters in 2006, as well as the
four-star hotel Novotel with 255 rooms and the fivestar Renaissance hotel with 204 rooms.

Photovoltaic system on the roof of PORTIKON
Sustainable real estate
Low-energy building
With a total area of 18,800 m2, PORTIKON is the
largest low-energy house ever to have been built
in Switzerland. It meets the strict requirements of
the MINERGIE-P® standard with respect to heat
insulation, energy consumption and airflow.
The office property was designed as a “four-core
concept”, i.e., four building sections are grouped
around a central, covered courtyard. The spacious,
light-filled atrium provides all floors with light for
well-lit workplaces, openness and transparency.
The spatial concept allows for flexible subdivisions
of up to 10,500 m2, which can be used to create
self-contained individual offices, large-scale communication zones or conference and presentation
rooms. Thus, the building can accommodate 600800 workstations. The generous height of three
meters and Tab-Silent fields in the ceilings provide
for a pleasant working atmosphere and excellent
acoustics.
Two elevators per core allow for a decentralized
mode of transport close to the offices. Together
with a delivery elevator, there is a total of eleven
elevators.
8
Attractive architecture
PORTIKON is characterized by its elegant and
clearly-structured form and stands out from among
the other buildings. The characteristic openness of
the building is achieved in that both the exterior
and the interior facades consist mainly of glass.
On the outside facade, tenants can showcase their
corporate logos.
On the attic floor there are spacious roof terraces
accessible from the related rental spaces. The
balustrades from the first upper to the attic
floor consist of aluminum elements. All windows
are equipped with automatic shutters, allowing
sunlight to be blocked whenever necessary.
Looking after the physical well-being of employees
and visitors is the restaurant Graf Z, which is
accessible from the atrium and the outside. Thanks
to the opportunity for lunch breaks or holding
business lunches, PORTIKON tenants and visitors
from surrounding buildings derive a substantial
added value.
An excellent
investment
MINERGIE-P®
PORTIKON was built according to the requirements
of the Passive House standard Minergie-P® and
built in line with the sustainability principles of
the “2,000-Watt Society”. It is the largest office
building in Switzerland that meets these quality
requirements.
Its photovoltaic system is among the biggest in
Zurich, which PORTIKON uses to produce almost
all the electricity for its own building services.
In general, the energy costs of Minergie-P®
properties are lower by 40 to 65 percent compared
to conventional properties. This comprehensive
energy concept guarantees users low operating
costs and investors a continuously sound return
thanks to optimized life-cycle costs.
According to the certificate, the property is stateof-the-art and achieves “an excellent level of
comfort regarding air quality, thermal comfort and
protection against outside noise as well as aboveaverage value conservation.”
MINERGIE-P® buildings are based on the technical
optimum, and guarantee low energy consumption
while maintaining comfort. They are also
characterized by low specific heat requirements,
low-weighted energy indicators for ventilation,
heating and hot water as well as the high airtightness of the building shell.
The energy for heating the building is obtained from
the district heating network. Cooling is provided,
for example, by a 1,100 m2 photovoltaic system on
the roof. By minimizing electromagnetic radiation
within the building, an acceptable and pleasant
work environment was created.
How important sustainability and certification have
become in the last ten years is borne out by the
fact that these factors are increasingly taken into
account when building or modernizing properties. A
trend that will continue.

Mixture of tenants
with a high credit ratings
Tenants
PORTIKON has already been fully leased to the
pharmaceutical companies and main tenants
Nycomed International Management GmbH and
Baxter Healthcare S.A. as well as, to a lesser extent,
to the restaurant operator Graf Z, HOCHTIEF Facility
Management Swiss AG (HTFM) and HOCHTIEF
Development Schweiz AG. This property is the first
project of the Swiss subsidiary HOCHTIEF and will
also serve as the business office of this leading
international provider of construction services.
Nycomed has a one-time special right of termination
as of December 31, 2014, which will be subject to a
walk-away penalty equivalent to a year’s worth of
net rent. The lease with HTFM runs until July 2013,
while HOCHTIEF Development Schweiz AG rents its
premises until May 2018. All leases are triple net
agreements.
The energy standards implemented in the
construction process will benefit all tenants, as
energy consumption will remain far below the
average, thus resulting in lower utility costs –
regardless of any future development in energy
prices.
The largest tenants by space are the pharmaceutical
companies Baxter Healthcare S.A. and Nycomed
International Management GmbH. Their leases, as
well as that of the restaurant operator Graf Z, run
until September 2019 and come with two renewal
options of five years each.

Baxter Healthcare S.A.
Baxter Healthcare S.A. manufactures and
distributes medical devices and pharmaceutical
products. Baxter is a subsidiary of Baxter
Healthcare Corporation in the U.S., which in turn
belongs to the group Baxter International Inc. The
group is active in over 110 countries and employs
approximately 49,700 employees in more than
250 offices and 28 manufacturing locations.
In 2009 Baxter International had sales of
approximately US-$12.56 billion, which is an
increase of 2 percent over the previous year.
Baxter Healthcare now moved its European
headquarters from Wallisellen in the canton of
Zurich to Glattpark in order to drive its further
expansion from this location.
Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) confirmed in July 2009
that the company’s financial situation was solid
and sound with a minimal risk of default. Its
considerable number of employees also points to
a very large business volume, according to D&B.
The risk of insolvency is pegged by D&B at below
the sector’s average.
Nycomed International Management GmbH
With 12,000 employees in 50 markets, Nycomed
is among the world’s 30 largest companies in the
pharmaceutical industry. Nycomed ranks 15th for
selling over-the-counter (OTC) drugs.
Its specialization is on drugs for gastroenterology,
respiratory diseases, inflammatory diseases, pain,
osteoporosis and tissue management (hemostasis).
In October 2009 the company moved its European
headquarters within Zurich to the PORTIKON
building and wants to pursue and implement from
here its international expansion plans. In fiscal
2009 Nycomed generated sales of EUR 3.2 billion.
Its EBITDA was EUR 1.1 billion.
According to a recent financial report by Dun
& Bradstreet (D&B) in October 2009, Nycomed
International Management GmbH has a good
financial position with significant financial
resources. The risk of insolvency is pegged by D&B
at below the sector’s average.
11
Graf Z
Graf Z is a themed restaurant, which offers its
guests market-fresh, international cuisine. Baxter
Healthcare subsidizes the restaurant to provide its
own employees with healthy meals at reasonable
prices. The other tenants of PORTIKON agreed to
use the services of the restaurant for conferences
and meetings.
The restaurant takes its name and inspiration for
its interior design from the zeppelin airship. This
site was supposed to serve as the landing site for
the Hindenburg zeppelin in 1935.
HOCHTIEF Facility Management Swiss AG
Founded in July 2007, HTFM is part of the
HOCHTIEF Services division and is an affiliated
company of HOCHTIEF Facility Management
GmbH, a subsidiary of the HOCHTIEF Group.
HTFM is responsible for the building management
of PORTIKON and has the special expertise and
experience necessary for the operation of a
low-energy building certified according to the
MINERGIE-P® standard.
12

Many years of expertise
As initiator of indirect real estate investments, the
ACRON Group – as a family-run company
independent of banks – has been active in private
capital investments since 1981. The company has
been domiciled in Switzerland for over 20 years,
and since then it has realized eight real-estate
investments in Switzerland. With its total of 40
employees, ACRON takes care of all the tasks and
responsibilities relating to the concept and
realization of real estate projects, including
property and investment management, as well as
asset and property management of all investment
companies.
Vision
ACRON stands for innovative, transparent and
successful investments. The satisfaction and longterm retention of customers, business partners
and employees are ensured by operating like a
family business with good problem-solving skills
as well as confident and reliable interaction. The
success is clearly reflected for investors in internal
rates of return of 7 percent p.a. (Germany,
Switzerland) and 10 percent p.a. (U.S.). ACRON
will continue to grow from this basis.
16
Mission
It is ACRON’s objective to increase the wealth of
investors: “Building Wealth”.
Strategy
The ACRON products of the core business are
based on real estate, which are primarily offered
as closed property investments structured as
(listed) “Aktiengesellschaft” (public company
limited by shares). Invariably the principle “One
Asset – One Company” applies. The core markets
for real estate acquisitions are Switzerland,
Germany and the U.S. ACRON has broad local
networks and sound market knowledge. Aside
from that, the company also plans to embark on
one or several Latin-American countries.
Three ACRON HELVETIA companies are already
listed on the Berne stock exchange, BX Berne
eXchange, and more will follow.
