LONG-TERM RENTAL CONTRACTS The rental contracts that we sign with our tenants tend to have a standard term of ten years. As at 31 December 2012 the weighted residual term of the rental contracts in our portfolio was seven years, with 63% of our rental contracts being secured until at least 2018. A location's catchment area is a major factor for us when it comes to selecting an investment: this is ascertained on an annual basis according to stand- ardised rules for all shopping centers and represents the number of potential customers for the location in question. In 2012 we welcomed a total of around 190 million visitors to our 20 properties. OUR TOP 10 TENANTS With a share of 5.7%, the Metro Group is our biggest tenant. It is one of the most important international retailers and is represented in a large number of our centers by its retail brands Media Markt and Saturn (consumer electronics), Real-SB-Warenhaus and Galeria Kaufhof Warenhaus. Behind this in second place is the Douglas Group, one of Europe's leading retailers, which, with its divisions Douglas perfumer- ies, Thalia bookshops, Christ jewellery shops, Appel- rathCüpper fashion stores and Hussel confectioners, is a tenant of our centers and has a share of 4.6% in our overall rental volume. Our rental contract portfolio is highly diversified: our top 10 tenants are responsible for a quarter of our rental income, which shows that there is no depend- ency on individual tenants.
