Hamburg exchange convention
Deutsche EuroShop made its fourth consecutive appearance at the Hamburg Exchange Convention, which took place on 6 September in the historic trading rooms of the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce. Organisers of the largest finance trade show for private investors in Northern Germany were the Hamburg Stock Exchange and the Hanseatischer Börsenkreis at the University of Hamburg.
Over 5,500 visitors took the opportunity to learn more from the over 100 exhibitors which included many companies from all over Germany who are listed on the stock exchange. In addition, there were 70 presentations given on current topics from the world of economy and finance which were intended for both non-experts and well-versed traders alike.
Once again, Deutsche EuroShop’s stand at the trade show was quite popular among attendees. Shareholders and other curious attendees took the opportunity to speak personally with the company employees and members of the Executive Board in attendance.
In 2009 Deutsche EuroShop will once again participate in the event, which is free of charge to visitors: The next Hamburg Exchange Convention takes place on 7 November.
Real estate share initiative
In 2001 Deutsche EuroShop formed the Real Estate Share Initiative with four other real estate companies. The purpose of the association, which began as an informal arrangement, was to generate publicity for German real estate shareholders among a wider audience. Today the initiative consists of 29 member companies who give presentations once a year at a jointly organised specialist- and capital market conference.
Over 300 participants, including company representatives, investors, financial analysts and journalists, met on 20 and 21 October 2008 at the Westin Grand Hotel in Frankfurt for the 8th specialist conference, which has become a fixture in the industry calendar of yearly events.
Along with the opportunity to mix with the most important players in the market, participants enjoyed the opportunity to gain information by attending reports, podium discussions and company presentations on the newest developments and trends in real estate and the financial market.
Olaf G. Borkers gave a presentation before a large audience on Deutsche EuroShop’s current developments and strategy. In addition, the Executive Board joined with the Investor Relations Team in leading around 18 individual and group discussions with investors, analysts and journalists.
The next specialist conference by the Real Estate Share Initiative will be on 20 October 2009 in Frankfurt.

Annual general meeting
The Annual General Meeting of Deutsche EuroShop took place on 19 June 2008 at a special location: Over 400 shareholders met in the historical ambience of the “Old Circus Hall” at the world-famous Hagenbeck Zoo, which for many years was used as a circus hall.
The Executive and Supervisory Boards presented detailed reports to shareholder on the 2007 financial year, new developments from Deutsche EuroShop’s shopping center portfolio and on the current situation in the real estate and capital market.
With an attendance rate at above 56% at the time of the vote, the shareholders approved all the points on the agenda; which included the regular (re-)election of three Supervisory Board members.
It’s already a tradition at Deutsche EuroShop’s main shareholder meetings to have the opportunity to personally meet and interact with the Executive Board as well as the employees who are available to answer questions at one of the informational stands. After the meeting, many visitors took advantage of the proximity to the zoo for a short excursion.
Deutsche EuroShop shareholders have once again been invited to the “Old Circus Hall” for this year’s general meeting on 30 June 2009.
