corporate governance 2015 Deutsche EuroShop is a transparent company that operates in accordance with a strategy geared towards long-term success. This focus on constancy is a key aspect of our corporate culture. OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY The management focuses on investments in high-quality shopping centers in city centers and established locations offering stable, long- term value growth. Another key investment target is the generation of high surplus liquidity from long-term leases in shopping centers, which is paid out to shareholders in the form of an annual dividend. In order to achieve these targets, the Company invests its capital in shopping centers in different European regions in accordance with the princi- ple of risk diversification. Germany is the main focus for investment. Indexed and turnover-linked commercial rents ensure that the high earnings targets are achieved. Based on the legal and company-specific con- ditions governing the management of a listed company, we strive to promote the trust of in- vestors, creditors, employees, business part- ners and the public in our management and supervision of our Company. This goal is con- sistent with the requirements of a demanding corporate governance system. In conformity with section 3.10 of the Deutscher Corporate Governance Kodex (German Corporate Govern- ance Code) as well as section 289a (1) of the Handelsgesetzbuch (HGB – German Commer- cial Code), this declaration contains a report by the Executive Board, also on behalf of the Supervisory Board, on corporate governance.
