solved to revise the Group’s strategy and business model and
to adjust its market focus.
As announced previously, the goal is to execute these adjustments within a period of two years.
In Management’s opinion, the strategy execution is generally
progressing satisfactorily and as planned.
The portfolio of projects not initiated is to be reduced
through the sale of land and the initiation of projects.
This process is progressing satisfactorily and according
to plan for many of the projects. For a few, however,
the process is taking longer than expected. One such
project is the BROEN shopping centre in Esbjerg, Denmark, as described under the heading “Property development”. Based on the plans drawn up for each individual project, Management believes it will still be possible
to implement the balance sheet adjustment within the
The balance sheet is to be adjusted, with a solvency ratio
of about 40 %.
• After implementing the capital increase in September
2013, the Group has met this strategic goal. The solvency ratio stood at 40.5 % at 31 January 2014, and
solvency will be further strengthened through completion of the agreed sale of the Fashion Arena Outlet
Center in April 2014.
The initiatives adopted and their current status are outlined
below:
The remaining activities will be limited to Denmark, Sweden,
Poland and the Czech Republic.
•
TK Development’s activities in Germany, Finland and the
Baltic States are being discontinued, and the phase-out
is progressing satisfactorily.
◦◦ The German activities have been reduced through
the sale of a further two investment properties in
2013/14. Thus, the Group has two remaining investment properties, two minor plots of land and a share
of a minor shopping centre. The branch office in Berlin has been closed down, and the employees have
left their positions.
◦◦ In Lithuania, a conditional agreement has been concluded regarding the sale of the Group’s retail park
project DomusPro in Vilnius, which will be handed
over to the buyer upon completion of construction. In
addition, the Group owns two plots of land in Latvia.
No decision has yet been made regarding when to
close down the branch office in Vilnius, because the
Group is awaiting the completion of DomusPro Retail
Park and clarification of the next steps in respect of
the two remaining plots of land.
◦◦ In Helsinki, Finland, the branch office has been closed
down, and the employees have left their positions.
Overheads are to be reduced by around 20 % relative to
2012/13, with half of the reduction deriving from the discontinuation of activities in Germany, Finland and the Baltic
States.
•
Cost-reducing measures have been implemented and
will achieve full impact in the course of 2014/15.
Financing costs are to be normalized as a result of the initiatives implemented.
•
In connection with the implementation of the capital
increase, the Group has reached agreements for a reduction of the interest payable on several major credits,
and is currently negotiating interest rate reductions for
other credits.
FINANCIAL ISSUES
Capital increase
At the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 22 May 2013,
the Board of Directors was authorized to carry out a capital increase with gross proceeds of about DKK 210-231 million. The
capital increase was implemented in September 2013.
For technical reasons, a capital reduction was implemented
before the capital increase, whereby the denomination of all
shares was written down from DKK 15 to DKK 1. The capital

Organizational focus on segments
To underpin the segmentation chosen, the business activities are organized so as to best ensure management focus on
both property development and asset management activities.
The members of the Executive Board attempt as far as possible to focus primarily on their own individual business areas,
while taking into account that the Executive Board members
are jointly responsible for the day-to-day management of the
overall business activities. TK Development has several years’
experience in asset management and increasingly focuses on
this area, including utilization of the Group’s competencies and
employee know-how to ensure continued progress in maturing
the completed projects.

Development owns 75 % of this outlet centre. Since the opening of the
second phase in 2010, the outlet centre has recorded a highly positive
development in footfall and revenue. The outlet centre’s revenue rose
by 24 % in 2012 compared to 2011, and the positive trend continued in
2013. Compared to the year before, footfall declined slightly in the first
six months of 2013, but rose again from August 2013. Revenue in the

As previously mentioned, TK Development conditionally sold its 75 %
stake in the outlet centre to Meyer Bergman in February 2014, after the
reporting date. The selling price for the entire property amounts to EUR
71.5 million. The sale is contingent on the final financing arrangement,
which is expected to fall into place shortly. This sale generates a minor
profit compared to the carrying amount, reduces the balance sheet total by about DKK 400 million and makes a substantial contribution to the
Group’s free cash resources.

The opening of yet another shopping centre in the town at the end of
the year intensified competition in Nowy Sącz. Therefore, TK Development is focusing on initiatives to maintain and step up the current development of the centre and is attempting to attract tenants by letting
vacant premises under temporary leases. This helps boost the centre’s
activity level and dynamics and ensures full occupancy. Efforts are simultaneously being made to conclude usual long-term lease agreements for the premises.

TK Development is developing a retail park of about 8,400 m² in the
Czech town of Most, to be built in phases. The first phase of about 6,400
m² opened in April 2009, and the current occupancy rate for this phase
is 91 % (Q3 2013/14: 91 %). One vacant rental unit remains, and efforts
are being made to let this unit. Management believes the vacant rental
unit should be let before the project can be sold.

TK Development built a retail park of approx. 4,200 m² in Aabenraa in

Litigation
TK Development is currently party to the following lawsuit/arbitration case that is of relevance due to its scope:
In the summer of 2002, De Samvirkende Købmænd, a trade association of grocery retailers, filed a complaint with the Nature
Protection Board of Appeal (Naturklagenævnet) in respect of
the City of Copenhagen’s approval of the layout of the Field’s
department store. In particular, the claim asserted that the
Field’s department store is not one department store, but that
it consists of several individual stores. The Nature Protection
Board of Appeal made its decision in the matter on 19 December 2003, after which the department store layout was approved. De Samvirkende Købmænd subsequently took out a
writ against the Nature Protection Board of Appeal before the
Danish High Court. At the beginning of 2011, the High Court
gave judgment in favour of De Samvirkende Købmænd. Neither
the owner of the centre nor any company in the TK Development Group is a direct party to the case, but the High Court’s
judgment may have the effect that the Field’s department
store will have to be redesigned following negotiations with the
relevant municipal authorities. As a result of the judgment, the
owner of Field’s may have to incur the financial burden of causing the necessary changes to the building layout, and in that
connection it cannot be ruled out that a claim may be made
against the Group. Regardless of the judgment, Management
still believes the risk of this case to be negligible.

The Board of Directors has adopted a policy to ensure diversity.
For more details about the policy and the status on fulfilment
of the policy aims, please see below.
Top management level
At the beginning of the financial year, Management adopted a
goal of having about 20 % women on the Board of Directors by
2016, equal to at least one member. This goal has been set in
light of the acknowledgment that TK Development operates in
a male-dominated sector. At present there are no women on
the Board of Directors.
Other managerial levels in the Group
At the beginning of the financial year, Management also adopted a policy of increasing the share of women at other managerial levels in the Group. In drawing up this policy, Management
took into consideration that the limited size of the organization
and its division into units operating in different countries with
relatively few employees in each country mean that the Group
is largely compelled to focus on knowledge, competencies and
experience when recruiting and promoting employees.
The policy comprises the following key elements:
TK Development acknowledges the importance of the diversity of the Company’s staff.
The Company must provide equal opportunities to both genders when recruiting and promoting employees.
As far as possible, the Company should strive to fill vacant
positions internally before offering them externally.
When recruiting employees for executive or mid-management positions, the Company strives to consider at least
one female candidate.

S TAT U T O R Y A N N U A L C O R P O R AT E S O C I A L R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y S TAT E M E N T
In addition to carrying on profitable business activities, TK Development intends to adhere to and expand the Group’s ethical,
social and environmental responsibilities as a business corporation.
TK Development fundamentally endorses the UN’s ten social
responsibility principles, but has not acceded to the UN Global
Compact.
In light of the Company’s size and activities and the Group’s
operating markets, the Board of Directors has decided not to
adopt policies for the voluntary integration of corporate social
responsibility or human rights and climate policies. The Board
will regularly assess the need for policies in this area.
