E X E C U T I O N O F A N N O U N C E D S T R AT E G Y As described in company announcement no. 6/2013 and the Annual Report for 2012/13, in March 2013 Management re- planned two-year period. 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.

In the residential segment in Warsaw in Poland, there is good demand for housing, and during the year under review the Group regularly concluded agreements for the sale of apartments in its completed residential project in Bielany, with only four apartments remaining to be sold. The volume of projects initiated dropped for a period, which has stabilized the supply of housing for sale. The total volume of property sales currently exceeds the supply of new housing, which has led to slightly increasing prices for attractive housing. In Management’s opinion, it is once again attractive to develop residential projects in Poland, primarily in the Warsaw area, and the pre-construction sale of the second phase of the Group’s residential project in Bielany, Warsaw, was initiated in December 2013 and is proceeding better than anticipated. 1 6 / 5 6 | T K D E V E LO PM E N T A / S | F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S 2 0 1 3 / 1 4 | M anagement C ommentary BUSINESS CONCEPT AND KNOWLEDGE RESOURCES The Group’s mission Architects The overall mission of TK Development is to create added value by Engineers Option/purchase of site velopment and services environments, and specializes in being the Finished project Investors developing real property.

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 centre increased to index 104 from 2012 to 2013.

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. 110 100 90 80 70 60 Revenue Footfall M anagement C ommentary | F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S 2 0 1 3 / 1 4 | T K D E V E LO PM E N T A / S | 2 7 / 5 6 ASSET MANAGEMENT GALERIA SANDECJA, SHOPPING CENTRE, NOWY SĄCZ, POLAND Opening Leasable area October 2009 17,300 m², including a 5,000 m² hypermarket Occupancy rate Footfall 2013 96 % (Q3 2013/14: 96 %) 2.4 million The operation of Galeria Sandecja has generally been satisfactory.

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.

S TAT U T O R Y A N N U A L S TAT E M E N T O N D I V E R SITY 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.

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. 4 4 / 5 6 | T K D E V E LO PM E N T A / S | F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S 2 0 1 3 / 1 4 | M anagement C ommentary THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Name Took office Re-election Birthday Independence 1) Niels Roth (Chairman) 2007 April 2014 July 1957 Independent Peter Thorsen (Deputy Chairman) 2012 April 2014 March 1966 Independent Per Søndergaard Pedersen 2002 April 2014 March 1954 Not independent 2) Arne Gerlyng-Hansen 2013 April 2014 March 1956 Independent Kim Mikkelsen 2013 April 2014 October 1968 Independent Morten E.
