We want to provide you with answers to questions which came up after the call:

• We left our guidance for 2011 and 2012 unchanged so far, even if we agree, that there’s a high probability to reach the upper end of the range.
  
  
• Our guidance already includes the decreased interest costs we achieved in 2011 (average interest rate came down from 5.03% to 4.83%). When we prepared the guidance we included assumptions which were fulfilled at the end.
  
  
• Average interest rate might come down further 10bps until the end of 2011.
  
  
• A potential acquisition of the German shopping center (for which we have exclusivity) would be realised without an immediate need for fresh money. A major 2nd investment – if possible – would require a capital increase.
  
  
• Department stores suffered in H1 2011 mainly due to special situations which are temporary. For example in two centers the tenants currently set up a new store concepts, so the turnover decrease is explainable by the restructuring.
  
  
• The calculative NAV per share on 30 June 2011 was €25.86.
