Currently 28 institutions publish research about the "Shopping Center Share". After some downgrades from "buy" to "neutral/hold" the recommendations chart looks more and more like a bell curve - the Gaussian distribution curve.
We've updated our chart which shows the quarterly development of our analysts' recommendations over the last 8 years (since Q2 2004). Additionally it shows our way to become one of the best covered real estate companies in Europe (according to EPRA, 3/11), starting with only a few analysts.
Effective as of the open of European markets on December 19, 2011, Deutsche EuroShop's shares will be added to the STOXX Europe 600 Index and its respective size and sector indices.
The Hertie Foundation has informed us that its voting rights on Deutsche EuroShop have exceeded the 3% threshold and amount to 3.019% (1,558,890 shares; total number of DES' shares: 51,631,400).
We want to take this occasion to update our shareholder structure.
