Significantly higher rental income thanks to expansion (Tivona
integration and new openings)



Real Estate Segment rental income for the first six months of 2009
rose by CHF 15.6 million to CHF 96.5 million, 19.3% higher than the
prior year period.

This includes rental income from the Tivona properties as of full
integration per end of February 2009. During the period under review
the St. Gall Shopping Arena opened in March 2008 and Thônex (Geneva)
district shopping center opened in September 2008 contributed full
rental incomes for the first time.

Adjusted for these expansion effects, the comparable rise in rental
income as against the prior year period is 1.8%. Vacant floor areas
remained at a consistently low level. As before, roughly 5% of total
rental income is attributable to turnover-linked rentals.

Slightly lower retail turnovers in challenging market conditions

Due to rather challenging market conditions, Retail Segment turnover
(House of Brands, with unchanged sales floor areas, Geneva hotel
operations) amounting to CHF 80.8 million was 5.1% lower than the
very successful prior year period.

Overall turnover for the entire House of Brands (Jelmoli Zurich
shopping center) amounting to CHF 153 million, including third-party
tenants, declined slightly by 5.4% compared with the excellent prior
year level.
