Large catchment area and tourist destination
Sustainable and resilient income
Thanks to its motorway proximity, BROEN Shopping is easy to access from most of the region, also for the large number of tourists flocking to the area. In fact, the catchment area boasts some 152,000 residents within a 30-minute drive and about 7 million tourists annually. Parking is ample, both on ground and on the roof of the Property.

RETAIL MARKET DANISH
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 instantly sparked anx iety about the future as gas and electricity prices started to soar. Overnight, inflation hit a 40-year high, and interest rates climbed. As a result, consumer confidence suffered a severe dent, with Danish households lowering their expectations of the future. Consumer confidence continues to struggle as the global outlook was exacerbated by the latest unrest in the Middle East, triggered by an attack on Israel in October 2023, along with rising concerns and po litical unpredictability with Donald Trump taking office in the US in January 2025.

Danish consumers have a clear preference for shopping centres, with this segment accounting for a significant share of total retail spend.
Although e-commerce is becoming an increasingly important factor in the Danish retail landscape, the coronavirus pandemic made con sumers rediscover the demand for real-life retail experiences in brick and-mortar shops. Regional destinations such as BROEN Shopping are perfectly posi tioned to cater to the increasing demands on multi-channel retailing and the overall shopping experience.

LOCATION ESBJERG The city of Esbjerg is located on the Jutland peninsula, directly on the North Sea coast, with easy motorway access to both Aarhus and Odense. In the past, Esbjerg was Denmark’s unri valled fishing port, but is today known as the Energy Metropolis of Denmark with the port serving as a centre for energy and offshore activities, involving mainly wind turbines.
Esbjerg is a popular tourist destination favoured by German tourists in particular.
Against the backdrop of a solid economic outlook and an ambi tion to become the new growth centre of Denmark, Esbjerg Municipality strives to nurture and expand its business commu nity, fostering favourable demographic developments aimed at making Esbjerg a vibrant and diverse city. As part of this effort, Esbjerg is creating a high concentration of creative hotspots and cultural attractions, all supporting an international environment. Esbjerg offers a rich music scene, with Musikhuset Esbjerg staging concerts that feature both domestic and internationally acclaimed artists. Designed by architects Jan and Jørn Utzon, Musikhuset Esbjerg (in English Esbjerg Performing Arts Centre) stages plays and various events.
The green focus is reflected in the graduate programmes offered at the city’s university, which also involve the green transition. Esbjerg is the fifth largest city in the country and the largest city in western Jutland, with approximately 115,000 inhabitants residing in Esbjerg Municipality. Esbjerg benefits from a strong strategic position in the Region of Southern Denmark (also simply referred to as Southern Denmark). Due to the city’s proximity to the German border,

In addition, the city hosts the annual Suset music festival on the harbour areas and a festival week, Esbjerg Festuge, with music, events and activities for young and old. Denmark’s energy transition metropolis The green transition is generally a high priority in Denmark, where Esbjerg has played a crucial role due to its strategic loca tion directly on the North Sea. This is evident in the fact that Esbjerg Port has been involved in more than 50% of all offshore wind farms in Europe. With the increased focus on sustaina bility, becoming manifest in ambitious political goals, Esbjerg is expected to benefit even more from this development. Esbjerg aims to be one of Denmark’s leading municipalities in the production, distribution, and consumption of energy in the most sustainable way. Therefore, Esbjerg Municipality has set a goal to become a carbon-neutral municipality by 2030. In summer 2022, Germany, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands signed the so-called Esbjerg Declaration, stipu lating a joint target offshore wind power delivery of minimum 65 GW in 2030 and 150 GW in 2025. With this agreement,
Esbjerg Port along with numerous private-sector companies in the sustainable energy sector play a significant role in the EU’s green transition plan. Since the parties signed the declaration last year, several major projects have been set in motion with commitment from large institutional investors. For instance, domestic pension funds AP Pension and PensionDanmark have agreed to back several sig nificant projects to be initiated in the coming years with a total investment volume in excess of DKK 9 billion. Moreover, Esbjerg Port has agreed to expand once again, this time by 500,000 sq m of land exclusively for offshore wind turbines. On the back of the rapid development of Esbjerg’s sustain able energy sector, factors like the establishment of new edu cational facilities, apartments, hotels and a vibrant cultural scene will contribute to the ongoing development of Esbjerg, all serving to make the city a more attractive place to live and work, while also ensuring overall economic growth for the city in the future.
The story of Esbjerg’s evolution from Europe’s biggest fishing port to Denmark’s oil and gas hub, to now being the world’s leading offshore wind port and future power-to-X hot spot, is a case study in the energy transition in action.

MICRO LOCATION WITH STRONG CONNECTIVITY
Due to its construction, the Property enjoys immediate access to the central train station of Esbjerg. As a result, the Property is highly vis ible to all passengers arriving by train or by bus at Esbjerg main bus station, which is located right next to the train station. The train sta tion offers regional and international rail links to e.g. Copenhagen, Aarhus and Hamburg. Bus services link to most towns and cities in the catchment area. Due to its ideal location, the Property is exposed to a natural flow of potential customers entering Esbjerg not only by train or bus but also by car via the motorway grid, with the E20 a mere three-minute drive from the Property. Jutland benefits from a well-developed motorway grid, making it relatively easy to reach all destinations in Jutland and the rest of Denmark. In addition, the Danish-German border is only a 60-minute drive away.
By spanning the railway tracks that lead to the Esbjerg harbour area, the Property connects the bustling city centre with the densely populated eastern part of the city. Apart from linking the city districts, the Property blends in perfectly with the sur rounding city environment due to its welcoming and open architecture, making it a fully integrated extension of the city’s main shopping street.

POPULAR TOURIST DESTINATION With its location on the North Sea coast, Esbjerg lies at the centre of some of Denmark’s most popular tourist destinations. In fact, combined the municipali ties of Esbjerg, Fanø and Varde recorded approximately 7.0 million leisure- and business-related overnight stays in 2024, while the total number of overnight stays in Southern Denmark was 19.6 million. German guests are the most fre quent visitors, but many Swedes and Norwegians also visit Southern Denmark. During the coronavirus pandemic, however, many Danes opted for staycation, similarly flocking to holiday homes and resorts along the North Sea coast. A large proportion of the visitors, approximately 43%, stay at private holiday homes in the region rather than at hotels and therefore have daily shopping requirements, which the Property also caters for. Indeed, tourists are believed to account for a substantial share of visitors to BROEN Shopping due to its wide range also of specialty shops, restaurants and leisure facilities. Tourism is a strong growth driver in many sectors and one of the most impor tant export industries in Denmark. Southern Denmark is the second largest region in Denmark measured on tourism revenue, only surpassed by the Capital Region of Denmark. With its wide range of shopping opportunities BROEN Shopping benefits from its location in a tourist hotspot.

BROEN SHOPPING DESCRIPTION
In Danish aptly named ‘the bridge’ as it spans the railway tracks, BROEN Shopping is a spec tacular and contemporary shopping centre building situated in central Esbjerg. The Property was completed in 2017 and extended in 2019 to add a multiplex cinema.
The Property comprises 25,053 sq m net retail space, 1,412 sq m net storage space and 10,415 sq m space used for technical or common/access areas, with 4,682 sq m of this space allo cated to the Property’s tenants. Overall, the Property has a total floor space of 36,880 sq m, with two rectangular ground floor constructions running on either side of the tracks, one along Exnersgade and the other along Jernbanegade. Three main entrances are located at Exnersgade, Skolegade and Kongensgade, the main pedestrian street. Furthermore, the Property has a large goods delivery area, including loading docks and several lifts.
railway tracks. An adjoining building along Jernbanegade, but fully integrated with the Property at first-floor level, accom modates a new state-of-the-art 3,568 sq m multiplex cinema, which features eight screens and seats more than 1,000. As the railway tracks literally run through the Property and trains therefore pass below the first floor of the Property at regular intervals, the ceiling height of the ground floor of the Property is very substantial, giving a light and spacious feeling to the Property. In addition, it allows tenants to create mezza nine floors to optimise space utilisation. Restaurant Flammen, Burger King, Café Vivaldi and PureGym are among the ten ants taking advantage of this option, with mezzanine space accounting for 1,417 sq m floor space in total. In addition, a few

BROEN SHOPPING
Innovative structure ensures healthy customer flow Unlike most shopping centres that have closed spaces with focus on generating ground-floor customer flow, BROEN Shopping has introduced a new approach. The traditional parking basement has been replaced by a bright and green parking area on the roof and narrow entrances have given way to open glass facades, inviting customers inside as well as seamlessly blending in with the surrounding city. Studies have shown that a minority of customers reach the top floor in a traditional two-storey shopping centre. As BROEN Shopping spans the railway, the ground floor will not serve as the main shopping area, but rather as an entrance environment intended to draw customers in and direct them to the next floor. The main source of customer flow is the original high-street area, composed of the adjoining streets of Kongensgade/ Skolegade. Due to signage and a prominent tall façade, the Property is visible from the entire area, and three entrances ensure easy access. The ground floor is focused towards lei sure and food and beverages, all provided in an open environ ment with atriums to the first floor. Escalators and lifts provide access to the first floor.
Shoppers arriving by car access the rooftop parking deck by means of a wide ramp at Exnersgade. From the roof, moving walkways and lifts lead to the shopping centre. The entrances naturally direct customer traffic to the two main atriums on the first floor. From this vantage point, a circle struc ture makes it easy to explore all areas and navigate. Anchor ten ants such as H&M, Sport24, Nordisk Film (cinema) and Føtex are placed strategically along the three atriums to entice full circulation. The placement of food anchor tenant Føtex on the first floor ensures substantial footfall in this area. Inside BROEN Shopping, the segmentation and mix of ten ants are results of careful planning. The north-western atrium has a concentration of sports and fashion retailers whereas the south-western atrium features retailers dealing in home fur nishing, food and hobby articles/toys. At the north-eastern atrium, where the cinema and fitness centre are located, there is a cluster of restaurants and cafés. These benefit from the customer flows generated by the cinema, the fitness centre and the traffic passing the entrance facing the large residential area extending east of the Property.

BROEN SHOPPING
Efficient storage and transport of goods In addition to a well-planned direction of customer flow, BROEN Shopping has an efficient goods han dling system in place. Goods are delivered through a large transport bay on the eastern part of the shop ping centre. From here, goods are transported either to the adjoining storage units where tenants can rent space or directly to the shop units. The storage units feature a ceiling height of 5.5 metres, allowing for efficient storage, even in smaller units. Individual shop units are accessible via a series of corridors and goods lifts that run behind the shop fronts. Apart from preventing disruption and incon veniences caused to customers, this system provides retail tenants with easy access to their storage units at all times. In March 2022, BROEN Shopping implemented the first phase of a waste management plan for the ten ants in compliance with new regulations (effective in late 2022) for responsible and environmentally sound waste management, with integration in shop ping centre corridors as well as in the storage yard. The plan for waste management in the corridors is yet to be fully implemented, which will require only a small additional investment.
Windows External windows have panes of insulated glass.
HVAC The Property is supplied by district heating and features ventilation and cooling systems. Fan-coils adjust the temperature in each unit. Fire safety The Property is equipped with sprinklers and an automatic warning system

BROEN SHOPPING
BROEN Shopping offers a contemporary and attractive retail experience by combining a wide range of well-known retail brands with leisure activities and F&B. A large Kvickly gro cery store and the PureGym fitness centre constitute well-established anchor tenants that ensure substantial daily footfall. Another customer magnet in BROEN Shopping is the state of-the art Nordisk Film multiplex cinema, drawing in customers from a wide catchment area. TENANT OVERVIEW
BROEN Shopping features a wide range of international and domestic brands, with retail chains combined taking up most floor space. The tenant mix is diverse, with the largest retail cat egories being fashion, groceries, home furnishing and sports wear. In addition, 7% of floor space is occupied by tenants in the F&B (Food & Beverages) category and 15% by tenants in the leisure segment. Combining a strong brand value and a resilient tenant mix, BROEN Shopping appeals to customers across the board, thereby providing an ideal platform for retaining and attracting customers and tenants alike. At the opening of BROEN Shopping in 2017, most ten ants agreed to 3 to 5-year tenant non-terminability periods.
As a result, most leases today only have a short or no unex pired lease term according to this non-terminability provision. Nevertheless, some anchor tenants are still committed to rel atively long non-terminability periods. As of 1 January 2026, these include PureGym (6.7 years), Nordisk Film (4.2 years) and Føtex (3.2 years). With the vast majority of tenants part of retail chains, the ten ants are generally well-consolidated. Most of the chains have nationwide representation, some also international. Most costs pertaining to administrative areas, including tech nical control rooms, shopping centre management office and common lunch dining room, are recoverable from the tenants. Storage units are available for rent.

a tenant in the health & beauty category. Another vacant unit (798 sq m) is situated near the Exnersgade entrance next to PureGym. Both units have been vacant since the opening of BROEN Shopping. Finally, a 510 sq m vacant unit is situated near the Kongensgade entrance next to Gina Tricot. This unit is ideal for a fashion shop or similar retail use.

BROEN SHOPPING
BROEN Shopping benefits from a diversified income base and stable returns, with 95% of rental income being either contracted fixed rent or minimum/base rent. FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Rental income As of 1 January 2026, the budgeted annual rental income of BROEN Shopping totals DKK 52.7 million. This includes budg eted rental income of DKK 3.2 million from currently vacant units. Most commercial leases carry a minimum indexation clause of up to 2.00% p.a. Current turnover-related rent only accounts for slightly more than 5.2% of budgeted rental income. Apart from contracted rental income, an additional rental income of DKK 2.0 million in total relating to technical areas, common toi lets and the shopping centre’s administrative office is collected from the tenants via the common costs accounts. . Operating costs Operating costs are largely recoverable from the tenants. Most tenants contribute on a proportionate basis to both common costs accounts, heating accounts, cooling accounts and venti lation accounts. Costs are distributed according to a weighted distribution key, with retail units generally carrying 100% of
costs, except Føtex (carrying 30%), H&M (35%), PureGym (50%), and currently vacant unit no. 0.20 (50%). Storage units carry 25% of the common costs account and 100% of the heating accounts but do not contribute to the ventilation and cooling accounts. In addition, the tenants contribute to BROEN Shopping’s mar keting and advertising efforts. The terms on which the indi vidual tenants contribute to marketing costs vary but are included in their respective lease agreements. However, ten ants are typically required to make a fixed contribution (not linked to actual costs) subject to annual indexation. For fur ther details please refer to the financial data package provided together with this IM. The 2026 operating cost budgets total DKK 17.2 million, excluding long-term provisions for maintenance and renewal of technical installations, property management fees, auditing

fee, rent collection fees and fees for preparation of accounts. Please note that the total sum of provisions and various fees recoverable from the tenants, namely DKK 2.7 million, has been factored in as other income, but has subsequently been offset against estimated average annual long-term provisions for maintenance and renewal of technical installations and prop erty management. The on-account contribution is DKK 1,352 per sq m for retail units that contribute to all items on the accounts, and pro portionally lower for non-retail areas in accordance with the aforementioned distribution principles. It is assumed that once they are relet, currently vacant units fully contribute with this amount. Tenant incentives Some tenants have been granted minor or moderate rental dis counts, mainly in terms of rent regimes phasing in long-term stabilised rent. Rental discounts amount to DKK 4.4 million in total between 2025 and 2026. As of 1 January 2026, Rental discounts in the among of DKK 4.2 million have lapsed, with outstanding rental discounts estimated at approximately DKK 230,516 in total (in nominal terms). All rental discounts will have lapsed by year-end 2026.
