HIGHLIGHTS
KENNEDY ARKADEN
03 Diversified tenant mix - financially strong tenants
05 Solid investment conditions
Displaying an impressive 99% economic occupancy rate and lettings to strong office tenants such as the Municipality of Aalborg, Nordjyllands Trafikselskab and several companies in the health sector, Kennedy Arkaden has demonstrated its great tenant appeal. Alongside the strong office tenants, the Property includes desirable retail tenants such as H&M, Imerco, Espresso House and Sunset Boulevard.
Boasting AAA-rated government bonds and a solid economy with prospects of continued high employment levels and, by extension, improved household budgets, Denmark is still con sidered a safe-haven investment destination. This is further underpinned by efficient and business-friendly framework con ditions along with low corruption, high transparency and polit ical stability. Another factor reducing investment risk is the Danish krone being pegged to the euro. In addition, the liquid and efficient Danish bond-backed mortgage system allows for comparatively inexpensive financing opportunities.
04 Strong income security
With only a few vacant secondary areas, Kennedy Arkaden has proved its resilience and strong income security. As a result of the Property’s revitalisation, the current tenant mix is a com bination of newer tenants as well as tenants from when the Property was built. The budgeted annual rental income pre dominantly derives from the contracted base rent, while a smaller part of the rental income is structured as perfor mance-based income. Further, the vast majority of the lease agreements carry inflation-linked indexation clauses with min imum annual rent increases of 2%.

KENNEDY ARKADEN
DANISH ECONOMY
Danish economy remains strong Danish economy is in stable and healthy condition. Denmark’s has the biggest account surplus and one of the lowest debt to-GDP ratios in the EU. Further, when comparing the business sector with other countries, Danish companies are proving extremely resilient despite the current market situation, which is largely a result of Denmark’s sustained low unemployment levels. Despite continued high core inflation, the tightening monetary policy has caused a significant decrease in inflation in 2023. The lower inflation level and the reduced uncertainty about energy supply have strengthened consumer confidence, which, along with rising real incomes and employment levels, has led to growth in private consumption. Despite turbulent times, Danish economy thus stands strong.
Even though the medical industry is unavoidable in the Danish economy, it is worth bearing in mind that Denmark ranks highly within business and finance, providing a stable and secure busi ness climate as well as high transparency and low corruption. Investors have therefore long perceived Denmark as a safe haven investment market. Inflation has likely peaked In recent years, inflation has been high, which can especially be attributed to increases in energy prices. Inflation peaked in October 2022 with an annual increase in the net price index of 10.3%. Since then, inflation has subsided, and the annual net price inflation in December 2023 amounted to 1.0%, where falling energy prices in particular contributed to driving infla tion downwards. Although energy prices have significantly decreased, they are still about 48% higher in December 2023

KENNEDY ARKADEN
than in the first half of 2021. It is worth noting that core infla tion, which excludes energy and unprocessed food, remains at a high level. This is due in part to the indirect effects of the high energy prices in previous years on the production of goods and services, which are still reflected in consumer prices. However, core inflation is decreasing as the indirect effects have begun to diminish, and according to the Danish National Bank, it is expected to fall further in 2024. The total annual inflation is expected to decrease from 3.3% in 2023 to 2.0% in 2024. Growth in private consumption After a decline in 2022, private consumption slightly increased throughout 2023. This was mainly due to rising real incomes and a steadily increasing employment rate. Moreover, con sumer confidence has significantly improved since the major declines through 2022, which is primarily attributed to reduced
uncertainty about the energy supply. According to the Danish National Bank, real income is expected to increase by 1% annu ally until the end of 2025 due to solid wage increases. Thus, by 2025, real income will be at the same level as before inflation levels accelerated. Consumer spending is expected to end with a slight increase of 1.0% in 2023 and 1.8% in 2024. Low unemployment rate After many years of record-low unemployment levels, the Danish unemployment rate has slowly started to edge up. Danske Bank expects unemployment to increase slightly from 2.8% in 2023 to 3.1% in 2024, corresponding to an increase of approximately 9,700 unemployed persons by the end of 2024. This is a relatively small increase considering the overall economic outlook, bearing in mind the potentially unfulfilled demand for labour.

KENNEDY ARKADEN
Efficient mortgage system The Danish mortgage system probably offers one of the world’s most efficient and reliable models of property financing, designed to work in favour of both borrowers and bond inves tors as well as the economy in general. It is based on flexibility, transparency and low costs due to market-based prices and favourable repayment terms. Compared to European commercial banks in general, Danish mortgage banks showed their resilience during the financial crisis of 2008-2009 by increasing mortgage lending activi ties. In practice, the mortgage financing market in Denmark is characterised by exceptionally low financing costs and a highly transparent cost structure due to a unique balance principle. Danish mortgage banks grant loans which must be secured by a mortgage on real property, allowing for loan-to-value (LTV) ratios between 50–80% of the property’s ‘as is’ value,
depending on the asset type and the debtor’s credit rating. Danish mortgage banks offer financing at fixed or floating rates with a maturity of up to 30 years. In addition, strong demand for Danish bonds and favourable interest margins facilitate commercial property financing. Political stability Denmark tops the list of the world’s least corrupt countries on the ‘Corruption Perceptions Index’, which ranks countries based on several factors, including corruption in the public sector and transparency in politics. The low corruption rate and general transparency of Danish society contribute to the strong brand value of Denmark. Finally, Denmark offers consensus-based political stability and continuity, providing low-risk framework conditions for invest ments.

OFFICE MARKET AALBORG
The office market in Aalborg is progressing despite a limited supply of newly built offices as well as uncertain market prospects and less favourable conditions. An important factor driving this development is record-high employment. At the same time, fears of lower de mand for office square metres, stemming from the increased ability of employees to work from home post-COVID-19 pandemic, have been mostly alleviated, as the effect has been relatively limited. Despite the continued high demand from users, the investment volume of office properties in Aalborg was historically low in 2023. This reflects the state of the overall commercial property invest ment market, which was generally challenged in 2023 due to chal lenging market conditions. Like most other major Danish cities,
demand is primarily focused on functional, flexible, modern and cost-efficient office leases. In particular, demand for multi-user properties has grown. Low vacancy rates and increasing rent levels After reaching the lowest vacancy levels in 11 years in end-2022, the vacancy rate for office spaces in Aalborg has been slightly increas ing up until Q1 2024; however, it is still at a low level in a historical context. Among other things, this is due to the fact that the supply of contemporary and adequately sized leases has not been able to keep up with the increasing demand. Further, rent levels have in creased in recent years, and the prime office rent in Aalborg current ly amounts to DKK 1,200 per sq m p.a.

RETAIL MARKET
The retail market has managed to make a comeback after the ef fects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and general eco nomic turmoil. Overnight, inflation hit a 40-year high, and interest rates climbed. As a result, consumer confidence suffered, with Dan ish households lowering their expectations of the future. Consumer confidence continued to be affected in 2023 by the gen erally uncertain economic outlook, but consumers seem to have brighter expectations for the future due to prospects of real wage growth as inflation edges down. 2023 thus turned out better for retail than many had predicted because of renewed growth in con sumer spending, and household spending is expected to recover to pre-COVID-19 levels.
cover the demand for real-life retail experiences in physical shops. Prime locations such as Kennedy Arkaden’s are perfectly positioned to cater to the increasing demands on multi-channel retailing and the overall shopping experience.
Although e-commerce is becoming an increasingly important factor in the Danish retail landscape, the pandemic made consumers redis

LOCATION AALBORG
Aalborg is the largest city in North Jutland and the region’s primary growth centre with the entire North Jutland region as its catchment area.
Aalborg was formerly a traditional industrial city, known among other things for its distilleries as well as its cement, tobacco and shipbuilding industries. This majority of this industry has moved or completely shut down as a result of a long-term strategy that has transformed Aalborg from an industrial city into a modern, knowledge-based university city. This is particularly evident in the area around the campus of Aalborg University, which includes 14,805 full-time students and 3,800 employees. Aalborg University is also known and recognised internationally, particularly for its engineering pro gram, which has been named the best in Europe for six consec utive years according to U.S. News and the fourth best in the
world according to a report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Further, Aalborg benefits from a well-func tioning regional airport, which means that the travel time to Copenhagen can be reduced to 45 minutes. In 2023, Aalborg Airport was voted Denmark’s best airport for the third time in a row. The Municipality of Aalborg comprises approximately 223,200 residents, making it Denmark’s third-largest municipality. Similarly, Aalborg is the principal city in the North Denmark Region, which includes approximately 593,150 inhabitants. In the last decade, the population of Aalborg has grown sig nificantly, particularly driven by the influx of young students.

Going forward to 2044, continued strong population growth is expected in the munic ipality, especially for the age groups of 25-29-year-olds and 30-34-year-olds, i.e. the young working population and families with young children. Similarly, the oldest age groups are expected to see significant relative growth, resulting in the demographics of the city changing. While Aalborg will likely continue to be the primary growth centre in the North Denmark Region, the population in the rest of Northen Jutland is expected to stagnate or decrease. The transformation of Aalborg is clearly reflected in the development that the city’s buildings have undergone and continue to undergo. This is especially visible in the har bour areas, for example at Østre Havn, where new flats, office buildings and converted warehouses have replaced heavy industry. The Eternit area is now a harmonious combi nation of dwellings, offices and shops. The area’s former use is today only reflected by its name, which refers to the old factory that closed in 2005. The remaining heavy industry in Aalborg has today moved east of the city to Østhavnen where Aalborg’s commercial port is now located.

STRONG CONNECTIVITY
Being the former and new bus terminal in Aalborg, Kennedy Arkaden benefits from its central microlocation, which we assess to be a primary location for both the office and retail market in Aalborg. As Kennedy Arkaden is situated between the new bus terminal and Aalborg Station (railway), it connects the bustling city with the rest of Aalborg. In addition to optimal public transport options, parking is available at the Property.
KENNEDY ARKADEN
LOC A T ION
Due to its location, Kennedy Arkaden is highly visible to all passengers arriving by train or bus. Further, the public transport possibilities are an competitive edge for employees in both offices and retail stores at the Property. Despite the central location, Kennedy Arkaden is closely connected with the rec reational areas Kildeparken and Godsbanearealet, which are located west and south-east of the Property, respectively. Kildeparken or ‘Kilden’ is one of Aalborg oldest parks in the city and hosts several events such as Aalborg Carnival. Godsbanearealet, which includes new residential buildings and recreational areas in the centre of Aalborg, has been under development and is now considered a unique part of Aalborg. Due to its ideal location, the Property is exposed to a natural flow of potential cus tomers entering Aalborg not only by train or bus but also by car via the arterial roads Hobrovej and Østre Alle, ensuring easy access to the E45 motorway within an eight-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, Aalborg Airport is located less than 8 km from the Property.

TENANT OVERVIEW
KENNEDY ARKADEN
Kennedy Arkaden offers great income security from the diversified mix of strong and rep utable tenants. After a period of revitalisation, the centre is now performing well and has 99% economic occupancy. The anchor tenants in the office areas include the Municipality of Aalborg and Nordjyllands Trafikselsskab, as the Property is a part of the public transport hub surrounding the Property.
In addition to the strong office tenants, the ground floor of the Property is utilised with desirable retail tenants such as H&M, Imerco and Espresso House, while the parking area is let to Q-Park Operations Denmark. The Municipality of Aalborg accounts for almost half of the office rent and a total of 5,356 sq m ranging from the third to fifth floor. The tenant moved into the Property in 2004 and has extended the original lease with additional areas in 2006 and 2007. Nordjyllands Trafikselskab (‘NT’) has several facilities in the Property, and the rental income stems from office areas and a newly renovated service centre, including a waiting area and ticket sales on the ground floor. In addition, NT uses the out door area as a bus terminal. Further, NT occupies the facilities for bus drivers on title no. 107d Aalborg Markjorder. NT orig
inally entered into a 10-year contract at the end of 2019, but the lease has been extended in 2003, 2004 and 2005 with a non-terminability period until November 2034. NT’s lease com prises a total of 3,495 sq m and additional outdoor areas.
