Note 4 Scope of consolidation Accounting policies Scope of consolidation The Klépierre consolidated financial statements cover all those companies over which Klépierre has control, joint control or significant influence. The percentage level of control takes account of the potential voting rights that entitle their holders to additional votes whenever these rights are immediately exercisable or convertible. Subsidiaries are consolidated starting the date on which the Group gains effective control. Consolidation method The consolidation method is based on the degree of control exercised by the Company: > exclusive control: full consolidation. Control is presumed to exist when Klépierre directly or indirectly holds more than half of the Company’s voting rights. Control is also presumed to exist where the parent company has the power to direct the financial and operational policies of the Company and appoint, dismiss or convene the majority of the members of the Board of Directors or equivalent management body; > joint control and significant influence: consolidation using the equity method. Joint control exists where operational, strategic and financial decisions require unanimous agreement between the associates. The agreement is contractual: subject to bylaws and shareholder agreements. Influence is defined as the power to contribute to a Company’s financial and operating policy decisions, rather than to exercise sole or joint control over those policies. Significant influence is presumed where the Group directly or indirectly holds 20% or more of an entity’s voting rights. Investments in associates are initially recognized in the balance sheet at acquisition cost, and are subsequently adjusted by the share of the net cash generated after the acquisition and the changes in fair value; > no influence: the company is not consolidated. Changes in equity of companies consolidated using the equity method are reported on the assets side of the balance sheet under “Equity method investments” and under the corresponding item in shareholder’s equity. Goodwill on companies consolidated using the equity method is also reported under “Equity method investments”. Intercompany transactions Intercompany balances and profits resulting from transactions between Group companies are eliminated. KLÉPIERRE 2017 REGISTRATION DOCUMENT 81

Note 5 Notes to the financial statements: Balance Sheet 5.1 Goodwill Accounting policies Accounting for business combination The accounting rules for business combinations comply with IFRS 3 (revised). To decide whether a transaction is a business combination the Group considers whether an integrated set of activities is acquired besides the investment property. The criteria applied may include the number of property assets held by the target company, the extent of the acquired processes and, particularly, the auxiliary services provided by the acquired entity. If the acquired assets are not a business, the transaction is recorded as an asset acquisition. All business combinations are recognized using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred is measured as the fair value of assets given, equity issued and liabilities incurred at the transfer date. Identifiable assets and liabilities of the business acquired are measured at their fair value at the acquisition date. Any liabilities are only recognized if they represent a real obligation at the date of the business combination and if their fair value can be reliably measured. For each business combination, the acquirer must measure all non-controlling interests held in the acquired company, either at their fair value at the acquisition date or at the corresponding share in the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired company. Any surplus of the consideration transferred and the value of non-controlling interests over the net fair value of the business’ identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, is recognized as goodwill. Costs directly linked to the acquisition are recognized as expenses. IFRS 3 (revised) stipulates a maximum period of twelve months from the acquisition date for the accounting of the acquisition to be finalized: adjustments to values applied must be related to facts and circumstances existing at the acquisition date. Therefore, beyond this 12-month period, any earn-out adjustment must be recognized in income for the fiscal year unless the additional consideration is an equity instrument. As regards the treatment of deferred tax assets, a gain in income for deferred tax assets unrecognized at the acquisition date or during the measurement period must be recognized. Where a business is acquired in stages, the previous investment is remeasured at fair value at the date if and when the control is transferred. Any difference between fair value and net book value of this investment is recognized in income. Any change in the Group’s interest in an entity that results in a loss of control is recognized as a gain/loss on disposal and the remaining interest is remeasured at fair value with the change being recognized in income. Transactions that do not affect control (additional acquisition or disposal) is accounted for as an equity transaction between the Group share and the non-controlling interest share without an impact on profit or loss and/or a goodwill adjustment. 82 KLÉPIERRE 2017 REGISTRATION DOCUMENT
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 3 Goodwill subsequent measurement and impairment Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. In compliance with IAS 36, the Group performs impairment testing if there is any indication of impairment, at least once a year. For the purposes of this test, assets are grouped into Cash Generating Units (CGUs). CGUs are standardized groups of assets whose continued use generates cash inflows that are largely separate from those generated by other asset groups. An impairment loss must be recognized wherever the recoverable value of the goodwill is less than its carrying amount. Goodwill corresponding to optimized value of deferred taxes This goodwill results from the recognition of deferred taxes at business combination accounting date. It represents the difference between the deferred tax liabilities booked in the balance sheet according to IAS 12 and the expected tax to be paid in case of sale by mean of share deal. As a consequence, impairment tests performed on this goodwill at each closing consist on comparing its net book value with the amounts of expected deferred taxes optimization. Goodwill of management activities This goodwill relates to management activities. Impairments test are performed annually and are based on valuations as performed by independent external appraisal. These appraisals, which are performed on behalf of Klépierre by Accuracy, are based on the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method in every country where the Klépierre Group conducts management activity. This method consists of three stages. In the first stage, cash flows that may be generated in the future by activity strictly interpreted (i.e., before consideration of explicit or implicit financing costs) are estimated on the basis of the specific business plans developed in each country where the Group conducts management activity for itself and for third parties. In the second stage, forecast cash flows and the probable value of the management activity portfolio at the end of the forecast period (terminal value) are discounted at an appropriate rate. This discount rate is determined on the basis of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and is the sum of the following three components: the risk-free interest rate, a general market risk premium (forecast average market risk premium multiplied by the beta coefficient for the business portfolio) and a specific market risk premium (which takes account of the proportion of specific risk not already included in flows). In the third and final stage, the value of shareholders’ equity is obtained by deducting its net debt on the valuation date from the value of its business portfolio. The impairment test done at least annually by an external appraiser consists in comparing the net book asset value of the entities with the net asset value measured by the independent appraiser. The main assumptions used to calculate the enterprise value according to the last appraisals are the following: > the discount rate applied is 7.6%; > the free cash flows over the duration of the business plan are based on business volume and operating margin assumptions that take into account economic and market assumptions on the date on which the plan was established; > a growth rate for the 2018-2023 period based on the assumptions of the internal business plan approved by the management; > Klépierre Management’s end value was determined with a growth rate applied from 2023 of 1%.

It must be simultaneously identifiable (and therefore separable from the acquired entity or arising from legal or contractual rights), controlled by the Company as a result of past events and provide an expectation of future financial benefits. IAS 38 states that an intangible asset should be amortized only where it has a known useful life. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life should not be amortized, but should be tested annually for impairment (IAS 36) or whenever there is evidence of a loss of value. Assets recognized as intangible assets with finite useful lives should be amortized on a straight-line basis over periods that equate to their expected useful life. Impairment of intangible assets After initial recognition, other intangible assets are recognized at cost, less any related depreciation and impairment losses. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are straight-line depreciated over their useful life. Useful lives are examined annually and an impairment test is conducted if there is any indication of impairment. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized. The “indefinite” nature of the useful life is reviewed at least annually. These assets are tested for impairment annually, or if there is any indication of impairment, by comparing the book value against the recoverable value. In the event of impairment, an impairment loss is recognized in income. The Klépierre Group’s intangible assets are not subject to an external appraisal. 84 KLÉPIERRE 2017 REGISTRATION DOCUMENT

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 5.4 Investment properties Accounting policies Investment properties (IAS 40 & IFRS 13) Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the companies in the consolidated Group, is classified as investment property. Investment property also includes property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property. For all investment properties, their current use equates to the highest and best use. Land held under operating leases is classified and accounted for by the Group as investment property when the definition of investment property is met. The operating lease is accounted for as if it were a finance lease. Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable eviction and borrowing costs (see below). After initial recognition, investment property is carried at fair value. Investment property under construction is measured at fair value if the fair value is considered to be reliably determinable. Investment properties under construction for which the fair value cannot be determined reliably, but for which the Company expects that the fair value of the property will be reliably determinable when construction is completed, are measured at cost less impairment until the fair value becomes reliably determinable or construction is completed – whichever is earlier. In order to evaluate whether the fair value of an investment property under construction can be determined reliably, management considers the following factors, among others: > the stage of completion; > the level of reliability of cash inflows after completion; > the development risk specific to the property. Additions to investment properties consist of capital expenditures, evictions costs, capitalized financial interests, letting fees and other internal costs related to development. Certain internal staff and associated costs directly attributable to the management of major schemes during the construction phase are also capitalized. The difference between the fair value of an investment property at the reporting date and its carrying amount prior to re-measurement is included in the income statement as a valuation surplus or deficit. The profit on disposal is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset at the commencement of the accounting period plus capital expenditure in the period. When the Group begins to redevelop an existing investment property for continued future use as an investment property, the property continues to be held as an investment property. In addition, the investment properties recorded at cost are tested for impairment at June 30 and December 31, whenever there is evidence of a loss of value. Where such evidence exists, the new recoverable asset value is compared against its net book value, and an impairment is recognized. Borrowing costs Under IAS 23, borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of eligible assets are included in the cost of the respective assets. When a loan is not directly attributable to an asset, Klépierre uses the capitalization rate applied to the expenses related to the asset in order to measure the attributable cost; if several non-specific borrowing lines exist, the capitalization rate is the weighted average rate of those loans observed during fiscal year. Fair value of investment property The fair value of Klépierre’s investment properties is appraised by the independent professionally qualified appraisers who hold a recognized relevant professional qualification and have recent sectorial experience in the locations and segments of the investment properties valued. They are responsible for valuing the Group’s assets on June 30 and December 31 of each year. The fair value excludes transfer duties and fees (fees are measured on the basis of a direct sale of the asset, even though these costs can, in some cases, be reduced by selling the Company that owns the asset). The fair values are determined in compliance with evaluation rules described in IFRS 13. In addition, given the complexity of real estate asset valuations and the nature of certain non-public data (such as rental growth projection, capitalization and actualization rates), the fair values of the investment properties have been classified as level 3 according to IFRS 13 criteria. Accordingly, there are no transfers of properties between the fair value hierarchies. 86 KLÉPIERRE 2017 REGISTRATION DOCUMENT
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 3 Given the fact that these appraisals are, by their nature, estimates, it is possible that the amount realized on the disposal of some real estate assets will differ from the appraised value of those assets, even where such disposal occurs within a few months of the balance sheet date. Klépierre entrusts the task of appraising its real estate assets to various appraisers. Shopping centers are appraised by: > Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) appraises a part of French portfolio, all Greek and Belgian assets, most of the Italian portfolio and four assets in Turkey; > CBRE appraises 10 French assets, all Portuguese and Spanish assets, 12 Italian assets and three Dutch assets; > BNP Paribas Real Estate appraises all German assets; > Colliers appraises the Italian assets of the K2 fund; > Cushman & Wakefield appraises a part of French portfolio, all Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian assets, all the Eastern European assets (Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia), three Dutch assets and three Turkish assets. Retail assets are appraised by BNP Paribas Real Estate. All appraisals are conducted in accordance with the principles of the Charte de l’Expertise en Évaluation Immobilière, AMF recommendations of February 8, 2010 and Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors standards. The fees paid to appraisers, agreed prior to their appraisal of the properties concerned, are fixed on a lump sum basis to reflect the number and complexity of the assets appraised. The fee is entirely unrelated to the appraised value of the assets concerned. In €k FY 2017 appraisal fees Cushman & Wakefield 307.9 CBRE 241.0 Jones Lang Lasalle 283.4 BNP Paribas Real Estate 122.8 Colliers 14.1 TOTAL 969.1 The valuations performed by the independent appraiser are reviewed internally by senior management and relevant people within the business units. This process includes discussions of the assumptions used by the independent valuer, as well as a review of the resulting valuations. Discussions of the valuation process and results are held between senior management and the independent appraiser on a half-yearly basis. All Klépierre Group assets are systematically appraised using two methods: yield method and discounted cash flows. According to the yield method, to determine the fair market value of a shopping center, appraisers apply a yield rate to net annual rents for occupied premises, and to the net market rent for vacant properties, discounted for the anticipated period of vacancy. The present value of rebates on minimum guaranteed rent payments, expenses payable on currently vacant premises and non-chargeable work is then deducted from the fair market value calculated above. A standard vacancy rate is then defined for each asset. The discount rate applied is the same as the yield rate used in the fair market value calculation. Gross rent includes the minimum guaranteed rent, the variable part of the rent and the market rental price for vacant properties. The net total rent is calculated by deducting the following expenses from the gross rent: management charges, non-reinvoiced charges, expenses relating to provisions for vacant premises and the average loss on bad debts over the previous five years. The yield rate is set by the appraiser based on a range of parameters, the most important of which are: retail sales area, layout, competition, type and percentage of ownership, gross rental income and extension potential and comparability with recent transactions in the market. The discounted cash flows method calculates the value of an asset as the sum of discounted future cash flows based on a discount rate defined by the appraiser. The appraiser estimates anticipated total revenues and expenses relating to the asset, and then measures a “terminal value” at the end of an average ten-year analytical period. By comparing the market rental values with face rental values, the appraiser assesses the reversion potential of the asset, using the market rental value at the end of the lease, after deduction of the expenses incurred in remarketing the property. Lastly the appraiser discounts the forecast cash flow to determine the present value of the property.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 5.11 Current and non-current financial liabilities 5.11.1 Change in indebtedness Accounting policies Financial liabilities Financial liabilities include borrowings, other forms of financing, bank overdrafts, derivatives and accounts payable. IAS 39 “Financial instruments: recognition and measurement” describes how financial assets and liabilities must be measured and recognized. Measurement and recognition of financial liabilities With the exception of derivatives, all loans and other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Recognition of liabilities at amortized cost In accordance with IFRS, redemption premiums on bonds and debt issuance expenses are deducted from the nominal value of the loans concerned and incorporated into the calculation of the effective interest rate. Application of the amortized cost method to liabilities hedged at fair value Changes in the fair value of (the effective portion of) swaps used as fair value hedges are balanced by remeasurement of the hedged risk component of the debt. Given that the characteristics of derivatives and items hedged at fair value are similar in most instances, any ineffective component carried to hedging profit or loss will be minimal. If a swap is canceled before the due date of the hedged liability, the amount of the debt adjustment will be amortized over the residual term using the effective interest rate calculated at the date the hedge ended. Measurement and recognition of derivatives As the parent company, Klépierre takes responsibility for almost all Group funding and provides centralized management of interest and exchange rate risks. This financial policy involves Klépierre in implementing the facilities and associated hedging instruments required by the Group. Klépierre hedges its liabilities using derivatives and has consequently adopted hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39: > hedges to cover balance sheet items whose fair value fluctuates in response to interest rate, credit or exchange rate risks (fair value hedge); > hedges to cover the exposure to future cash flow risk (cash flow hedges), which consists of fixing future cash flows of a variable-rate liability or asset. The Klépierre portfolio meets all IAS 39 hedge definition and effectiveness criteria. The adoption of hedge accounting has the following consequences: > fair value hedges of existing assets and liabilities: the hedged portion of the asset/liability is accounted for at fair value in the balance sheet. The gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value are recognized immediately in profit or loss. At the same time, there is an opposite corresponding adjustment in the fair value of the hedging instrument, in line with its effectiveness; > cash flow hedges: the portion of the gain or loss on the fair value of the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognized directly in equity and recycled to the income statement when the hedged cash transaction affects profit or loss. The gain or loss from the change in value of the ineffective portion of the hedging instrument is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Recognition date: trade or settlement IFRS aims at reflecting the time value of financial instruments as closely as possible by ensuring that, wherever possible, instruments with a deferred start date are recognized on the trade date, thus allowing calculation of the deferred start date. However, this principle cannot be applied to all financial instruments in the same way. For example, commercial paper is often renewed a few days before its due date. If these instruments were recognized at their trade date, this would artificially inflate the amount concerned between the renewal trade date of a paper and its effective start date. 94 KLÉPIERRE 2017 REGISTRATION DOCUMENT
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 3 Klépierre applies the following rules: > derivatives are recognized at their trade date, since their measurement effectively takes account of any deferred start dates; > other financial instruments (especially liabilities) are recognized on the basis of their settlement date. Method used to calculate fair value of financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities recognized at fair value are measured either on the basis of market price or by applying measurement models that apply the market parameters that existed on the balance sheet date. The term “model” refers to mathematical methods based on generally-accepted financial theories. The realizable value of these instruments may differ from the fair value adopted when preparing the financial statements. For any given instrument, an active, and therefore liquid, market is any market in which transactions take place regularly on the basis of reliable levels of supply and demand, or in which transactions involve instruments that are very similar to the instrument being measured. Where prices quoted on an active market are available on the closing date, they are used to determine fair value. Listed securities and derivatives traded on organized markets such as futures or option markets are therefore measured in this way. Most OTC (Over The Counter) derivatives, swaps, futures, caps, floors and simple options are traded on active markets. They are measured using generally-accepted models (discounted cash flow, Black and Scholes, interpolation techniques, etc.) based on the market prices of such instruments or similar underlying values. Tax treatment of changes in fair value of financial instruments In Klépierre’s case: > the non-SIIC part of the deferred tax on financial instruments recognized at fair value is calculated pro rata of net financial income; > the financial instruments of foreign subsidiaries recognized at fair value generate a deferred tax calculation on the basis of the rates applying in the country concerned. Current and non-current financial liabilities amount to €9,586 million as > total investments amounted to €582 million including €296 million of December 31, 2017. of development expenses and capex mainly on Hoog Catharijne, Net indebtedness totaled €8,978 million, compared to €8,613 million Val d’Europe and Marseille Prado and other acquisitions made at December 31, 2016. Net indebtedness is the difference between during the year for an amount of €286 million. In the meantime, financial liabilities (excluding both fair value hedge and market value Klépierre received €263 million related to asset disposals in France, adjustment of Corio’s debts recorded at the acquisition date) plus Scandinavia and Spain; bank overdrafts minus available cash and marketable securities. > the free cash flow, minority contribution, and early close out costs The €365 million increase is mainly explained by: on debt and financial instruments represent the remainder and helped to reduce net debt by €802 million; > the 2016 dividend payment in April 2017, for €562 million and the > the appreciation of the euro against the Scandinavian currencies purchase of 9,761,424 of own shares for an aggregate amount of generated €64 million of negative foreign-exchange impact on €350 million; debt.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 Note 6 Notes to the financial statements: Comprehensive Income Statement 6.1 Gross rental income Accounting policies Leases According to IAS 17, the Group distinguishes two types of leases: > finance lease, which is a lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards inherent in the ownership of an asset to the lessee. Title to the asset may or may not eventually be transferred at the end of the lease term; > other leases are classified as operating leases. Recognition of stepped rents and rent-free periods Gross rental income from operating leases is recognized over the full lease term on a straight-line basis. Stepped rents and rent-free periods are recognized as additions to, or deductions from, gross rental income for the fiscal year. The reference period adopted is the first firm lease term. Entry fees Entry fees received by the lessor are recognized as supplementary rent. Entry fees are part of the net amount exchanged between the lessor and the lessee under a lease. For this purpose, the accounting periods during which this net amount is recognized should not be affected by the form of the agreement or the rent payment schedule. Entry fees are spread over the first firm lease term. Early termination indemnities Tenants who terminate their leases prior to the contractual expiration date are liable to pay early termination penalties. Such penalties are allocated to the terminated contract and credited to income for the period in which they are recognized. Gross rental income includes: > rents from investment property and rent-related income, such as car park rentals and early termination indemnities; > other rental income: income from entry fees and other income. Stepped rents, rent-free periods and entry fees are spread over the fixed term of the lease. Charges invoiced to tenants are not included in gross rental income but deducted from rental expenses (with minor exceptions in Scandinavia and Turkey). 6.2 Land expenses (real estate) Accounting policies Building leases: IAS 40 and IAS 17 Land and building leases are classified as operating or finance leases, and are treated in the same way as leases for other types of assets. Klépierre considered for the majority of land and building lease contracts the criterion of operating lease was fulfilled. Initial payments made in this respect therefore constitute pre-lease payments, and are amortized over the term of the lease in accordance with the pattern of benefits provided. Analysis is on a lease-by-lease basis. Land expenses (real estate) correspond to lease payments (or depreciation of initial payments) for properties built on land subject to a building lease or an operating contract (concession). 102 KLÉPIERRE 2017 REGISTRATION DOCUMENT

Income from disposals also includes transfer costs and related expenses. 6.9 Net cost of debt The net cost of debt amounts to €169.8 million, compared to €197.7 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease in net cost of debt comes from debt restructuring (new bonds refinancing, swaps unwinding and repayment that was implemented in 2017).

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 Note 7 Taxes Accounting policies The tax status of Sociétés d’Investissement Immobilier Cotées (SIIC) At the General Meeting of Shareholders held on September 26, 2003, Klépierre was authorized to adopt the SIIC tax status. General features of the SIIC tax status All SIICs are entitled to the corporate tax exemption status provided that their stock is listed on a regulated French market, that they are capitalized at €15 million or more and that their corporate purpose is either the purchase or construction of properties for rent or direct or indirect investment in entities with that corporate purpose. The option to adopt SIIC status is irrevocable. Subsidiaries subject to corporate income tax and owned at least 95% by the Group may also claim SIIC status. In return for tax exemption SIIC have to pay out 95% of rental income and 60% of the capital gains made on property disposals. In addition they must pay out 100% of any dividends received from subsidiaries. The new entities claiming SIIC status are immediately subject to a 19% exit tax on unrealized gains on properties and on shares in partnerships not subject to corporate income tax. The exit tax is payable over a four-year period, commencing at the point when the entity concerned adopts SIIC status. Discounting of exit tax liability The exit tax liability is discounted on the basis of its payment schedule. Following initial recognition in the balance sheet, the liability is discounted and an interest expense is recognized in the income statement on each balance sheet date. In this way, the liability is reduced to its net present value on that date. The discount rate is calculated on the basis of the interest rate curve, taking into account the deferment period and the Klépierre refinancing margin. Corporate income tax on companies not eligible for SIIC status Since adopting SIIC status in 2003, Klépierre SA has made a distinction between SIICs that are exempt from property leasing and capital gains taxes, and other companies that are subject to those taxes. Corporate income tax on non-SIIC French entities is calculated in accordance with French common law. Tax regime of Dutch companies (FBI) After various meetings held between Klépierre and the Dutch Ministry of Finance on Klépierre Group’s eligibility to the FBI regime, the latter considered that some activities carried out by the Group were not compliant with the FBI regime (tax regime providing for a CIT exemption applicable to Dutch subsidiaries). Due to business consideration of the activities concerned, Klépierre chose to waive the FBI regime application with retroactive effect from January 1, 2015. Tax regime of Spanish SOCIMI entities SOCIMIs are listed Spanish companies whose principal activity is the acquisition, promotion and rehabilitation of urban real estate assets for their leasing, either directly or through equity investments in other REITs (Real Estate Investments Trusts). Real estate income for SOCIMIs is taxed at a zero corporation tax (CIT) rate (instead of the general rate of 25 per cent), provided that the requirements of the SOCIMI regime are met. Furthermore, mandatory minimum distributions of profits must be carried out by SOCIMIs in accordance with the following criteria: > 100 per cent of the dividends received from participating entities; > 80 per cent of the profit resulting from leasing of real estate and ancillary activities; > 50 per cent of the profits resulting from the transfer of properties and shares linked to the Company activity provided that the remaining profits are reinvested in other real estate properties or participations within a maximum period of three years from the date of the transfer or, if not, 100 per cent of the profits must be distributed as dividends once such period has elapsed. 104 KLÉPIERRE 2017 REGISTRATION DOCUMENT
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 3 Corporate income tax and deferred tax The corporate income tax charge is calculated in accordance with the rules and rates adopted or virtually adopted at the end of the reporting period in each Group operating country for the period to which the profit or loss applies. Both current and future income taxes are offset where such offsetting is legally permissible and where they originate within the same tax consolidation Group and are subject to the same tax authority. Deferred taxes are recognized where there are timing differences between the carrying amounts of balance sheet assets and liabilities and their tax bases, and taxable income is likely in future periods. A deferred tax asset is recognized where tax losses are carried forward on the assumption that the entity concerned is likely to generate future taxable income against which those losses can be offset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the liability method and the tax rate expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled on the basis of the tax rates and tax regulations adopted, or to be adopted before the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities must reflect the tax consequences arising as a result of the way in which the Company expects to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. All current and deferred tax is recognized as tax income or expense in the income statement, except for deferred tax recognized or settled at the time of acquiring or disposing of a subsidiary or investment and unrealized capital gains and losses on assets held for sale. In these cases, the associated deferred tax is recognized as equity. Deferred tax is calculated at the local rate known at the closing date taking into account the expected recovery date. The rates applied are: France 34.43%, Spain 25%, Italy 27.90%, Belgium 25%, Greece 29%, Portugal 22.5%, Poland 19%, Hungary 9%, Czech Republic 19%, Slovakia 21%, Sweden 22%, Norway 23%, Luxembourg 26.01%, The Netherlands 25%, Denmark 22%, Turkey 22%, Germany 34.03%.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 3 10.3 Employee benefits Accounting policies Employee benefits Employee benefits are recognized as required by IAS 19, which applies to all payments made for services rendered, except for share-based payment, which is covered by IFRS 2. All employee benefits, whether paid in cash or in kind, short term or long term, must be classified into one of the following four main categories: > short-term benefits, such as salaries and wages, annual vacation, mandatory and discretionary profit-sharing schemes and Company contributions; > post-employment benefits: these relate primarily to supplementary pension payments in France, and private pension schemes elsewhere; > other long-term benefits, which include paid vacation, long-service payments, and some deferred payment schemes paid in monetary units; > severance pay. Measurement and recognition methods vary depending on the category of benefit. Short-term benefits The Company recognizes an expense when it uses services provided by its employees and pays agreed benefits in return. Post-employment benefits In accordance with generally-accepted principles, the Group makes a distinction between defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. “Defined contribution plans” do not generate a liability for the Company, and therefore are not provisioned. Contributions paid during the period are recognized as an expense. Only “Defined benefit plans” generate a liability for the Company, and are therefore measured and provisioned. The classification of a benefit into one or other of these categories relies on the economic substance of the benefit, which is used to determine whether the Group is required to provide the promised benefit to the employee under the terms of an agreement or an implicit obligation. Post-employment benefits classified as “Defined benefit plans” are quantified actuarially to reflect demographic and financial factors. The amount of the commitment to be provisioned is calculated on the basis of the actuarial assumptions adopted by the Company and by applying the projected unit credit method. The value of any hedging assets (plan assets and redemption rights) is deducted from the resulting figure. According to IAS19R, the actuarial gain or loss is recognized in Equity. Long-term benefits These are benefits other than post-employment benefits and severance pay, which are not payable in full within twelve months of the end of the financial year in which the employees concerned provided the services in question. The actuarial measurement method applied is similar to that used for post-employment defined benefit plans, and the actuarial gains or losses are recognized immediately. Furthermore, any gain or loss resulting from changes in the plan, but deemed to apply to past services, is recognized immediately. Severance pay Employees receive severance pay if their employment with the Group is terminated before they reach the statutory retirement age or if they accept voluntary redundancy. Severance pay falling due more than twelve months after the balance sheet date is discounted. KLÉPIERRE 2017 REGISTRATION DOCUMENT 115
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 Share-based payments According to IFRS 2, all share-based payments must be recognized as expenses when use is made of the goods or services provided in return for these payments. For the Klépierre Group, this standard applies primarily to the purchase of shares to meet the commitments arising from its employee stock option scheme. Stock subscription options granted to employees are measured at their fair value determined on the date of allocation. This fair value is not subsequently remeasured for equity-settled share-based payment transactions, even if the options are never exercised. This value, which is applied to the number of options eventually vested at the end of the vesting period (estimate of the number of options canceled owing to departures from the Company) is booked as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity which is spread over the vesting period (i.e. the period during which employees must work for the Company before they can exercise the options granted to them). This employee expense reflecting the options granted (corresponding to the fair value of services rendered by employees) is measured by a specialist independent third-party company. The model adopted complies with the basic assumptions of the Black & Scholes model, adapted to the specific characteristics of the options concerned. 10.3.1 Defined contribution pension plans In France, the Klépierre Group contributes to a number of national and inter-profession basic and supplementary pension organizations. 10.3.2 Defined benefit pension plans The provisions recognized for defined benefit pension plans totaled €13.4 million at December 31, 2017.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 5Compensation and benefits of executive corporate officers EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBERS’ COMPENSATION STRUCTURE Presentation of the main elements of Executive Board members’ compensation The compensation of each Executive Board member consists of three main elements: > a fixed component, determined on the basis of the responsibilities assumed by each of the members of the Executive Board, which must be sufficiently competitive to attract and retain the best talent; > a short-term variable component that links Executive Board members to the Group’s short-term performance; and > a long-term incentive component to best align the interests of the beneficiaries with those of shareholders in order to create value over the long term. Variable compensation (short-term variable and long-term incentive) play a decisive role in the determination of compensation structure. It represents nearly two thirds of the total compensation (fixed, short-term variable compensation and long-term incentive) of Executive Board members in respect of a year, with fixed compensation representing about one third of the total of such compensation. For instance, for 2017, the respective weight of each of these elements was as follows: Jean-Marc Jestin 28% Fixed compensation 36% Long-term incentive 36% Short-term variable compensation Jean-Michel Gault 27% Fixed compensation 38% Long-term incentive 35% Short-term variable compensation 244 KLÉPIERRE 2017 REGISTRATION DOCUMENT

(1) For historical reasons, Executive Board members’ compensation was set at relatively low levels, and over time has lost its correlation with Klépierre’s size. In effect, Klépierre was, formerly, a BNP Paribas subsidiary, in which the compensation of the Executive Board members was determined in consistency with the compensation policy applicable to BNP Paribas group executives. Following the sale by BNP Paribas of its stake, initiated in March 2012 and ended in November 2015, Klépierre became a non-controlled company, whose strategic positioning has noticeably evolved, as seen in the refocusing of its portfolio on large-scale core assets.

Adjustment to the performance conditions applicable Based on the work of the Nomination and Compensation Committee, to performance share plans being established from 2018 the Supervisory Board felt it was necessary to make evolve the performance conditions for reasons that are set out in more detail In June 2017, Klépierre undertook a review for the purpose of revisiting below. the structure of long-term incentives and overhauling performance conditions, with the assistance of specialist consulting firms. Indeed, In this respect, the Supervisory Board endeavored to identify the Board wished to introduce innovative criteria linked to Klépierre’s performance conditions that reflect the Group’s policy in terms of CSR performance, considered by the Board as particularly important long-term compensation, namely: in the context of the Group’s long term strategy, in order to motivate > conditions primarily based on internal performance indicators, and ensure the involvement of the Group’s management in the improvements in which depend on the work put in by the implementation of this strategy. management teams and their results, built around an approach Furthermore, these criteria aim at the implementation of measures designed to create value over the long term; affecting different professions in the Group which contribute to the performance and, therefore, involve all teams. In addition, in the context of its thoughts on the introduction of new criteria, the Board concluded that previous plans were no longer satisfactory in terms of long-term compensation goals. It in particular became apparent that the performance criteria of the previous plans did not reflect the actual economic and operational performance of the Group (notably, significant growth of the net current cash flow per share, higher than the initial objectives) and did not serve to motivate, retain and attract talent within the Group, even though the Group’s operational performance had improved significantly over the same period. 248 KLÉPIERRE 2017 REGISTRATION DOCUMENT

On the basis of the work of the Nomination and Compensation Committee, the Supervisory Board of February 6, 2018 has set the following: > 80% of the fixed annual compensation the amount of the variable share of 2017 compensation due for achieving the quantitative target; and > 48% of the fixed annual compensation the amount of the variable share of 2017 compensation due for achieving the qualitative targets; corresponding to €512,000.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 5Compensation and benefits of executive corporate officers Elements of compensation Amounts Comments Severance pay None On October 19, 2017, the Supervisory Board amended the currently suspended employment contract of Jean-Michel Gault in order to (i) record the latter’s agreement not to claim severance in an amount exceeding two years of the last fixed and variable annual compensation received in his capacity as an Executive Board member (including for the termination of his employment contract) and (ii) establish a non-statutory severance mechanism in the event of Jean-Michel Gault’s forced departure. These amendments are subject to the approval of Klépierre’s General Meeting of April 24, 2018 (5th resolution). The forced departure cases eligible for the compensation mechanism include all forced departure cases except for forced departure in the event of serious misconduct or gross misconduct and in the event of non-renewal of the Executive Board member’s term of office or resignation. The amount of the non-statutory severance provided will be limited to two years of the last fixed and variable annual compensation received in his capacity as Executive Board member (less any amount paid for any legally mandated severance or severance due under a collective bargaining agreement that Jean-Michel Gault may receive under his employment contract). Jean-Michel Gault’s agreement not to claim severance in an amount exceeding two years of the last fixed and variable annual compensation received in his capacity as an Executive Board member (including for the termination of his employment contract) allows the Company to contain the indemnification risk linked to any termination of the latter’s employment contract, by limiting the indemnification to two years under all circumstances. Note that as of the date of this report, the amount of severance due under a collective bargaining agreement to which Jean-Michel Gault may be entitled in case of the termination of his employment contract amounts to €551,395, i.e., 7.3 months of his fixed and variable compensation due for fiscal year 2017. Signing this amendment did not lead to any payment in favor of Jean-Michel Gault. In addition, payment of the non-statutory severance will be subject to achieving performance conditions identical to the conditions applicable to Jean-Marc Jestin, namely: > in at least two of the three full fiscal years preceding the year of termination of his term of office, Jean-Michel Gault must have received or must have been entitled to receive global variable annual compensation (that is to say quantitative + qualitative) representing a sum equal to at least 90% of his fixed compensation (the maximum being 130%), and > the quantitative part of the variable annual compensation should, as a minimum, have been paid in an amount equal to the target in the two fiscal years taken into account for the purposes of consideration of the foregoing condition. Finally, in accordance with the AFEP-MEDEF Code, no severance will be owed if the beneficiary is entitled to claim full retirement benefits, within six months after termination of his functions. Non-compete benefit None No non-compete benefit Supplementary €7,122 Jean-Michel Gault has a supplementary defined-benefit pension plan for senior executives of the former Compagnie pension plan Bancaire that provides for additional pension with a maximum amount determined on the basis of reference compensation and seniority as of December 31, 2000. This maximum amount is capped (subject to the application of an increase based on the growth rate of the AGIRC’s point value) at €7,122, and no increase of the conditional rights can be acquired based on seniority or increase of compensation after December 31, 2000. This plan has been closed since December 31, 2000. Jean-Michel Gault’s compensation package takes these benefits into account. Apart from this, Jean-Michel Gault is entitled to the same AGIRC supplementary pension plan as other Group managers. Other None (a) For fiscal year 2016, the Supervisory Board decided, on the recommendation of the Nomination and Compensation Committee, to set the fixed annual compensation of the Deputy CEO, member of the Executive Board at €371,700.
