170 million visitors a year The catchment areas around our centers are home to nearly 16 million people, over 13 million of whom in Germany. This gives us access in theory to 16% of the German population – one in six people. A location’s catch- ment area is a major factor for us when it comes to se- lecting a property for our portfolio: this is ascertained sci- entifically on an annual basis according to standardised rules for all shopping centers and represents the number of potential customers for the location in question. In 2013 we welcomed a total of around 170 million visitors to our 19 properties. Our largest tenants With a share of 5.6%, the Metro Group is our biggest ten- ant. 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 perfumeries, Thalia bookshops, Christ jewellery shops, AppelrathCüpper fashion stores and Hussel confectioners, is a tenant of our centers and has a share of 4.5% in our overall rental volume (as at 31 De- cember 2013). 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 major dependency on indi- vidual tenants.
