The theoretical rent of the retail portfolio (excluding associates) rose by 15.3% from € 293.8 million at year-end 2007 to € 338.7 million at year-end 2008. The theoretical rental income rose partly through net acquisitions and disposals and partly through indexation and new and adjusted rental contracts.
Net rental income rose by 14.6% in 2008 (2007: 14.7%) to € 283.9 million. The increase of € 36.1 million was mainly attributable to acquisitions and disposals. The acquisition of the Grand Littoral shopping centre in Marseille in March 2008 and of the IKEA outlet at Le Gru in Turin in December 2008 contributed a total of € 11.6 million to net rental income, for instance.
