Sharing the rewards of forward-looking investment. Our blueprint for successful real estate investment.

Dear business partners, In a market environment that remains dynamic, a forward-looking approach is essential for sustained success. The investment cycle is now approaching its peak in many regions. At the same time, global pressure of capital continues unabated. Ongoing low interest rates could lead to existing marketrelated and geopolitical risks being too lightly dismissed, with investors failing to strike the right balance between necessary caution and the need to take risks. As an experienced risk manager, we remain fi rmly on course, true to the values of reliability and continuity that have long been associated with the name Union Investment. We are addressing the current challenges with a risk-adjusted investment strategy and the aid of strong partners. Our aim is to continue honouring our product promise to private and institutional investors over the coming years. 2016 provided powerful proof that a coherent investment strategy pays off, both for us and our partners. We invested over EUR 1.3 billion in the US, for example, not only diversifying our offi ce and hotel portfolio further but also acquiring retail space in North America for the fi rst time. In our core European markets we also continued to expand our portfolio. Although the investment environment has deteriorated in many parts of Europe, in cities experiencing sustained growth or signifi cant restructuring there is strong demand for disciplined, equity-rich investors with transparent investment processes. For us, forward-looking investment means continuing to carefully develop our high-quality portfolio with a clear focus on long-term rental income. An occupancy rate of 96 per cent across our existing portfolio of more than 350 properties refl ects this commitment. We look forward to continuing the journey with our partners around the world. You are cordially invited to join us. Best wishes Martin J. Brühl Member of the Management Board / Chief Investment Offi cer Union Investment Real Estate GmbH 3

Part of a strong group As members of a cooperative financial network, we are continuing to grow. We gain and retain our customers trust by offering broadly diversified and tailored real estate solutions. And have been doing so for over 50 years. Palladium, Prague, Czech Republic Union Investment is one of Germany s largest asset managers. We serve more than four million private investors and about 1,600 institutional customers. Backed by the strength of Germany s cooperative FinanzGruppe alliance with its 1,000 cooperative banks (Volksbanken and Raiffeisenbanken), we stand for partnership and dependability. The wider Union Investment Group has fund assets under management totalling EUR 292.3 billion, covering all major asset classes. More than 50 years of growth For over 50 years, Union Investment s real estate segment has experienced continuous growth. We actively manage assets worth almost EUR 31.8 billion in open-ended real estate funds and special funds, on behalf of both private and institutional investors. Service KVGs and funds of funds are an additional area of focus. Net cash inflows of EUR 3.3 billion in 2016 demonstrate the level of trust in our real estate solutions. 4

Our regional investment units and strong expertise in the growth areas of retail and hospitality are combined with an active asset management approach that delivers stable rental income. Our portfolio comprises over 350 properties and projects across 23 national markets in Europe, the Americas and Asia-Pacific. We continue to pursue a strategy of international growth and diversification, as dictated by the investment remit of our funds. With a transaction volume of EUR 4.6 billion, mainly comprising acquisitions worth EUR 4.0 billion, we again put down a strong marker in 2016. In 2017, we intend to continue diversifying our portfolio and making it more international. 5

Our investment approach: predictable and transparent A forward-looking strategy calls for consistent application of the same investment approach to every transaction. So our partners know what drives us, and what they can expect of us. Our product promise to our investors is clear, with stability and low performance volatility being central objectives. This in turn forms the basis of our investment policy. We look for high-quality real estate, as well as properties with the potential to become core. In addition to the established prime locations worldwide, we therefore focus on dynamic secondary cities. In 2016, the proportion of new acquisitions in secondary cities was already over 45 per cent. efficiency, user comfort, location and construction quality, and energy efficiency. Enhanced capability, enhanced options The expertise of our strong, in-house asset management team allows us to make investments that carry greater risk. This includes acquiring development projects via forward deals, as well as the purchase of properties that require letting. 1000 Main, Houston, USA Broad acquisition spectrum In a challenging market environment, property quality remains important to us, rather than just quantity. We cover a broad acquisition spectrum, with lot sizes in 2016 ranging from approx. EUR 10 million to over EUR 400 million. At the heart of every acquisition decision is the ability of a property to generate stable, sustainable income. We assess this sustainability in terms of cost 6

Leveraging variety increasing opportunities The diverse investment profiles of our funds allow us to access global markets in Europe, the Americas and Asia-Pacific. We team with our partners to proactively seize new opportunities. Dos Patios, Mexico-City, Mexico Our home market is Germany, where the bulk of our real estate assets are located, with a value of EUR 11.1 billion. Having said that, we have driven forward the internationalisation of our portfolio in recent years. More than 60 per cent of our real estate holdings are now located outside our home market and spread across 22 countries. International investment footprint Broad scope for action is important to us in meeting our fund management responsibilities. In 2017, we will continue our internationalisation strategy. We intend to invest primarily in markets where we have a successful track record of growth. These include the US, Mexico, Poland, France and Austria, plus a special focus on Australia and Japan. Despite its decision to exit the EU, the UK market also remains of interest to us. Alongside the ongoing geographical diversification of our portfolio e.g. via expansion or re-entry into markets such as Canada, Chile and Greater China 8

Zebra Tower, Warsaw, Poland we are also committed to increased diversification in terms of property type. Accordingly, we completed two additional hotel investments in the US in 2016, with a total value of EUR 487 million, as well as acquiring our first retail space in North America. We currently invest in four segments: office, retail, hotel and logistics properties. We are also happy to consider joint investment in residential property. Proactive partnerships Our reliability as a long-term investor is valued by business partners worldwide. We work together with many developers, shopping centre operators, hotel brands and a range of joint venture partners, with the first deal often marking the start of an extended relationship. We welcome new strategic partnerships. Why not get in touch? 2016: approx. 40 per cent of all transactions (by volume) outside Europe 9

A transparent process and specialised teams We work with our partners to implement transactions professionally, efficiently and transparently, based on a clearly defined process. Our global team structure delivers additional benefits. Our investment process has been proven over many decades and ensures the necessary efficiency to complete transactions quickly and reliably. A clear structure comprising specialised teams for each region and property type underpins our focused approach. Our cooperative roots are the source of a core value: absolute reliability in everything we do. We complete 98 per cent of all transactions that reach the LOI stage. By ensuring a high level of transaction reliability and transparency throughout the deal process, we generate predictable added value for our business partners. Thanks to the close links between our investment managers and many long-standing regional partners, we have a global overview of new development projects and interesting properties. We are also able to complete many deals off-market. In the 2016 business year, such deals accounted for 60 per cent of all acquisitions. Specialised teams Our Investment Management segment is split into four units: Europe and Overseas, both of which focus mainly on office properties, Retail and Hospitality, each with specialist staff. We also make a clear organisational distinction between investment management and asset management. FIRST Rotterdam, Rotterdam, Netherlands Reliability breeds trust 10

Additional offices in Paris, Madrid and Vienna help cover the European market. Our New York-based team is responsible for the US and Mexican markets. Transactions in the Asia-Pacific region are handled in Singapore. Seeing eye to eye Our teams offer you dedicated contacts with a high level of expertise in the relevant regional market. These contacts will engage with you at your level: professionally, culturally and personally. 11

Forward-looking investment In 2016, we leveraged a broad range of investment opportunities. We increased our exposure to the three commercial property types in Europe and also beyond. We intend to build on these successes in 2017. In 2016, we handled 59 transactions with a total value of EUR 4.6 billion, spread over 39 acquisitions and 20 sales. WQ1 & Haus am Fluss, Bremen, Germany Strong continuity in the DACH region The IME 1 team (Investment Management Europe 1) is responsible for the German-speaking markets in Europe, where continuity was again the main theme in 2016. We expanded our portfolio in locations such as Bremen, Stuttgart and Vienna. Following two new acquisitions in Bremen s Überseestadt in 2016, we are now one of the largest investors in the area. For the first time, we also invested in new, flexible office space with a modern campus ambience in the Uferstadt Fürth complex in southern Germany. referendum, we will continue to assess investment opportunities in the UK in 2017. Strong growth in the US and a reliable partner in Australia Although the international investments segment is managed centrally, both America and Asia-Pacific have their own local teams. 2000 McKinney Avenue, Dallas, USA Significant transactions in Europe The IME 2 team successfully implemented a major transaction that attracted much attention when it acquired the Grand Central development at Saint- Lazare station in Paris. In addition, we reentered the Swedish market, with acquisitions incl. the Vattenfall headquarters building near Stockholm. While carefully monitoring the possible impact of the Brexit 12

636 Sixth Avenue, New York, USA Expanding our retail universe In 2016, the US was also an important market for our Retail segment. Acting jointly with TH Real Estate, we made our first foray into the United States, acquiring four properties in three downtown shopping locations in New York, Philadelphia and San Francisco. Shopping centres remained important assets in Europe. We added two major regional shopping centres to our extensive portfolio in Germany, while in Poland we acquired an additional mall to boost our exposure to the country s increasing prosperity. In Europe, we benefited once again from our strong ties with the hotel sector. These are reflected in the 32 well-known brands that now make up our compelling portfolio. Our strong track record in 2016 motivates us to continue that success in 2017. LondonHouse, Chicago, USA The US was a key focus of our activity in 2016, with investment totalling EUR 1.3 billion. A standout acquisition was 101 Seaport Boulevard in Boston in one of the city s hotspots. Other acquisitions in important secondary cities such as Atlanta and Dallas helped to further diversify our holdings. In Australia, we saw the Southpoint development through to completion. Japan also remains one of our target markets in Asia. One of the most active hotel investors We have been investing in hotels for over 40 years and are now one of the largest institutional hotel investors in Germany. We consolidated this position in 2016 by acquiring a total of seven budget, midrange and high-end hotels. We continued to drive forward the internationalisation of our hotel investments. Two spectacular acquisitions were LondonHouse in Chicago, a premier hotel with an impressive heritage, and Courtyard by Marriott WTC in New York, a modern new build. 13
