Deutsche Postbank<br />

Pursuant to a private agreement between Deutsche Post and Deutsche Postbank (“Postbank”), 202 of our<br />

properties feature branches of Postbank, allowing for the delivery of integrated financial and postal<br />

services. The properties featuring Postbank branches are typically located at ground level with a view to<br />

attracting a high volume of retail and business customers seeking financial or postal services. These<br />

locations may include retail space (where consumer staples are offered for sale), a banking or investment<br />

advisory area, mailboxes for rent, an automated postal/banking services station or traditional banking<br />

teller service. Many Postbank branches in our properties have recently undergone refurbishment and now<br />

feature contemporary designs, expanded retail sections, enhanced lighting and automated postal and<br />

financial services centres. The delivery of banking and postal services are integrated such that customers<br />

can purchase consumer staples, send or receive mail or parcels and attend to their financial services needs,<br />

including by making deposits, loans, transfers, investments and purchasing insurance.<br />

Postbank is a public company controlled by Deutsche Bank. Postbank offers retail financial services in<br />

their branches within Deutsche Post’s network, which generates increased traffic through the postal<br />

services offered in those branches. There are 4,500 branches of Deutsche Post in which selected Postbank<br />

financial services are available. Postbank offers comprehensive financial services as well as postal<br />

services in its own 1,100 branches.<br />

With 14 million active domestic customers and over 20,000 employees, Postbank is one of Germany’s<br />

major financial services providers. Postbank’s focus is on its retail business with private customers.<br />

Postbank has the densest branch network of any bank in Germany, which makes it conveniently<br />

accessible and attractive to its retail banking customer base.<br />

Deutsche Telekom<br />

After Deutsche Post, Deutsche Telekom is the second-largest tenant in our properties, as measured by<br />

space occupied. Deutsche Telekom occupies approximately 1.4% of the GLA of our properties and<br />

currently generates approximately 2.5% of the portfolio’s overall GRI. The occupied space is mainly used<br />

for server and cable rooms, forming an integral part of Deutsche Telekom’s infrastructure.<br />

Deutsche Telekom is one of the world’s leading telecommunications and information technology service<br />

companies. Deutsche Telekom Group had approximately 236,000 employees in total as of December 31,<br />

2011.<br />

Deutsche Post leases<br />

Our leases with Deutsche Post, which generally expire on June 30, 2018 (many of which provide<br />

Deutsche Post with an option to extend the term until June 30, 2023), comprise approximately 75% of the<br />

GLA and account for more than 85% of the GRI of our portfolio as of December 31, 2011.<br />

Although our Deutsche Post leases are between the Landlord and DPI, a subsidiary of Deutsche Post, as<br />

tenant, Deutsche Post has provided a letter of support pursuant to which it will ensure that DPI is<br />

managed and capitalized so as to be able to fulfill its financial obligations under the leases, with the letter<br />

of support being in place until the earlier of (a) the date of termination of the leases, and (b) 15 years after<br />

commencement of the leases.<br />

Although structured as individual lease agreements, each of our Deutsche Post leases is commercially<br />

linked in certain ways with other leases that we did not acquire in connection with our acquisition of the<br />

Initial Properties, even though we have no interest in those other leases and the seller of the Initial<br />

Properties has no interest in our Deutsche Post leases.<br />
