“Many of our existing shareholders decided to exercise their rights and invest further in the company. This is a
great sign of faith in our strategy going forward, for which I would like to thank them. Now that we can close

retail organization, in order to stabilize net rental income in 2015 in France” said Dirk Anbeek, CEO of

operational shopping centers in France from Unibail-Rodamco for the amount of € 850 million (the
