Our values We are the only public company in Germany that invests solely in shopping centers in prime locations. We invest only in care- fully chosen properties. High quality standards and a high degree of flexibility are just as important to us as sustained earnings growth from index- and turnover-linked rental contracts. In addi- tion, we boast a higher than average occupancy rate of around 99% and professional center management – these are the pillars of our success. Our goals Deutsche EuroShop does not seek short-term success, but rather the stable increase in the value of our portfolio. Our objective is to generate a sustainably high surplus liquidity from the longterm leasing of our shopping centers to distribute an attractive divi- dend to our shareholders every year. In order to achieve this, we shall acquire further prime properties and hence establish our- selves as one of the largest companies in Europe focusing on retail properties.
