System - Committee highlights
IGD recorded Funds from Operations or FFO, of €55.4 million in 2023, a decrease of €11.74 million compared to 2022: this performance reflects higher debt servicing costs, which were not offset by the improved operating results.
This result was deeply affected by the external context that we found ourselves in. In fact, after having overcome the difficulties caused by the pandemic, we had to face a scenario characterized by significant geopolitical tensions and high inflation. Monetary policy, aimed at bringing galloping price growth back under control, took the form of a sequence of no less than ten consecutive interest rate hikes by the ECB between July 2022 and October 2023, which brought the rates from zero to 4.5 %.
"IGD was not passive in this environment, we followed our solid, long-term directed, strategy. A strategy which has already allowed the Company to navigate moments of profound financial and macroeconomic crises, from 2005 through the present".
Looking at the 2023 results, we can safely say that the careful commercial and property management policy made it possible to achieve a series of gradual improvements in our operational metrics by leveraging on an effective business model.
On the financial management front, we also achieved concrete results. In 2023 we refinanced a significant portion, around €650 million, of the total debt stock before the maturity date, while also extending the average maturity. The period in which we carried out these liability management transactions, however, forced us to accept conditions which increased IGD's cost of debt considerably.
The higher cost of funding also had a negative impact on Gruppo IGD's 2023 financial statements as it contributed to a 5.4% reduction in the independent appraisals of our real estate assets as a result of the higher discount rates used in the appraisers' valuation models. This was reflected in both the income statement, which showed a lower fair value, and the higher Loan-to-Value reported in the balance sheet.
Many of the results we achieved in 2023 and the projects we implemented are not reflected in the numbers, but they comprise assets, tangible and intangible, that IGD will be able to count on in future years. In an environment that we hope will normalize as soon as possible, the positive impact of the achievements made in 2023 will find a way to be expressed over time, while also making an appreciable contribution in terms of numbers.
With this in mind, the policies we implemented during the year are examined below, along with the factors that determined the 2023 results.
2023 reaped the benefits of the sound policies implemented in recent years to manage vacancies and the negative effects of inflation, which impacted not only the margins of the retailers in shopping centers, but also household spending.
The temporary discounting policy made it possible to manage the most difficult situations without having to renegotiate pre-existing leases, which protects IGD's business profitability to the extent that the leases are linked to inflation. The effectiveness of this choice is clearly reflected in IGD's rent collection which is now at around 97%, an improvement over the 96% recorded a year ago. At the same time, the financial occupancy of the Italian portfolio remained at a high level, coming in at 95.3% at the end of the year.
In 2023, IGD's team in Italy signed 188 new leases, 135 renewals and 53 attributable to retailer rotation. Overall, 13.5% of the total Italian portfolio was re-let, with rents largely stable (-0.45%): a result we view as positive, as the base rents in the renegotiated leases had already been adjusted for inflation.
In 2023 tenants' sales in IGD's Italian malls were 4.3% higher than in the previous year, while footfalls were also up by 4.5% percent. Sales in 2023 were also 6.2% higher than in 2019, the last year not impacted by the pandemic, despite footfalls which were 13.2% lower than in 2019.
Not to be overlooked, lastly, are the positive performances posted by the food anchors present in all IGD malls, which recorded an increase in sales of 3.9% against 2022 and 1.6% against 2019.
The trend of less frequent shopping during the week, but with an increase in the average ticket (which was increased by about +1.4%) also stabilized.
In 2023 a phenomenon already observed in 2022 was confirmed: year-on-year sales improved across the board for all the categories of merchandise offered at IGD's shopping centers with one exception, electronics, which was down 2.4% after sales peaked in 2020-2021 The satisfactory results achieved in terms of operational metrics are the result of the systematic work done to reposition centers and minimize vacancy. To bring about these changes, within timeframes that we would have thought impossible in the past, we organized working groups based on which the commercial team worked together with the asset management team.
In a panorama of generalized improvement, stand-outs include restaurants which recorded a 15.5% increase in revenues year-on-year. This decided recovery is explained by the reduction in remote working which supported lunchtime demand and the expanded offerings attributable to the work done by the IGD team to include new formats, from fast food to steakhouses. Not to be underestimated is the 51.3% rebound in cinema revenues, which had a positive impact not only on footfalls, but also on restaurants' evening business. The outstanding performances of these sectors confirm that IGD has definitely recovered its authentic "spaces to be lived in" dimension, which was inevitably penalized in 2020-2021. We are convinced that the mall, because of the way IGD's business model interprets it, remains a very viable format but we are equally convinced that today's mall must first and foremost be "flexible," in order to respond quickly to the changing needs of the retailers present and the need to redirect the merchandise mix by continuously introducing new brands and merchandise categories. "Behind the good operational results, we delivered in 2023 lies this work, which means understanding when re-marketing was needed and quickly carrying out the works needed to accommodate the new brands."
on activities that have proven to be the most dynamic: restaurants, culture, leisure and gifts.
> A new way of working on commercial aspects
The homecare sector was also very dynamic, growing by 15.4% in 2023, especially in large stores. Personal care and healthcare also continued to post double-digit growth, with revenues up 11.1%, driven mainly by cosmetics and optical stores. After growing by 13.5% in 2022, in 2023 clothing also posted further improvement of 3.5%: an important piece of the overall picture, as this category accounts for 49.3% of the total sales at IGD's Italian malls. > Targeted pipeline investments continued. In 2023, IGD made investments totaling about €25 million, compared with €35 million in the previous year. Today's investments respond to the need to facilitate continuous rethinking of the commercial mix through work on fit-outs; as well as restyling and refurbishment projects,
Overall, the sales performance confirms the shopping center's ability to meet the needs of visitors and respond to new consumer trends: an ability we have tested even in the face of weakened household spending amid high inflation. "We followed a well-calibrated approach to the allocation of investment resources, which we also plan to use going forward."
With regard to the challenges posed by inflation, we worked to provide an effective response through more intense and frequent revision of the tenant and merchandising mix. Through continuous rethinking of our retail proposition, we managed to understand consumers' new preferences and stimulate purchases. The 22 new brands that we have included in the Italian portfolio in 2023, for example, were focused particularly In 2023, the capex was mainly focused on three macro-projects: the completion of the restyling of the Porto-Grande center in the province of Ascoli, which was inaugurated last November; the transformation of the Officine Storiche in Livorno through the creation of the innovative 16,000-square-meter space housing retail and entertainment activities, which was inaugurated last September, and the start of a deep restyling of the Leonardo Center in Imola – one of the key assets in IGD's portfolio - which will be completed in 2025.
ESG-oriented activities - installation of solar energy systems and electric vehicle charging stations, etc. - and maintenance, in order to improve their energy efficiency and resilience in the face of severe weather conditions.
Significant work was also done to return the Lungo Savio center in Cesena, where the overflowing of the river
basis.
IGD was once again able to gain the consensus of the capital market investors, by proposing a market-friendly transaction, capable of meeting expectations at that particular moment. The high take-up rate of the Offer is the most eloquent demonstration that the transaction and its intent were thoroughly understood. The achievement of this result at such a delicate moment, with rates at record highs, also confirms that the bondholders appreciate IGD's strategy and view it as viable, which increases the visibility of an FFO capable of sustaining the path that in 2022 to 72.1%. > The 5.42% contraction in property valuations hurt the income statement Based on the independent appraisals, the fair value of the Gruppo IGD's real estate assets came to €1,968.10 million at the end of 2023, a decrease of €112.79 million compared to the end of 2022. The reduction in fair value affected all the Italian peri-
The commercial and asset management policies that we have continued to implement during this challenging environment have produced positive results, as demonstrated by the operating performance.
Core business EBITDA was up 4.6% in 2023 with respect to 2022, coming in at €108.2 million. This progress was driven by both net rental income, which rose 4.9% year-on-year to €119.6 million, and net services income which grew 15.1% to €2.0 million.
lies ahead. "As a result of the two transactions carried out in 2023, IGD ended the year with its refinancing needs for 2024 already covered and without any major new maturities before 2027." meter's asset classes, although malls were impacted the most with valuations down by 6.32% year-on-year. The resiliency of hypermarkets and supermarkets was confirmed with fair Value at 31 December 2023 down by a modest 0.35% compared to the end of 2022 and slightly higher, by 0.28%, against 30 June 2023.
The performance of rental income reflects the positive effects of the marketing and remarketing activities carried out, as well as inflation indexing. This made it possible to offset the negative impacts of the vacancies created as a result of remodeling.
Thanks to the lengthening of debt duration achieved with the most recent issue, which removed short-term liquidity risk, IGD succeeded in maintaining the investment grade rating of its debt - essential to accessing the market when a window to place new instruments at more affordable rates opens. On 17 November 2023, Fitch Ratings Ltd. confirmed the investment grade BBB- rating with a "Stable" outlook. S&P Global Ratings confirmed its previous BB rating with a "Stable" outlook through February 2024. "Portfolio valuations were affected across the board by a decompression in net exit yields, while discount rates rose as the ECB continued to increase the cost of funding." The Group's Fair Value was also negatively impacted by the drop in the fair value of Winmarkt's Romanian portfolio, which fell 4.91% against year-end 2022, as well as of the trading and development assets which both posted double-digit decreases.
as a percentage of gross rental income (which reached €142.4 million), improved by 50 basis points rising 71.6%
Despite a 10.3% increase year-on-year in general expenses, due mainly to the ongoing IT systems and infrastructure internalization project, ESG certification and consulting, the core business EBITDA margin, calculated The consolidated income statement for 2023, therefore, closes with a net loss of €81.7 million, compared to a loss of €22.3 million in 2022.
The trend in consolidated EBIT, which went from €7.7 million in 2022 to -€33.1 million in 2023, was profoundly affected by the change in fair value that emerged in the independent year-end appraisals which, together with the capex made in 2023, had a negative impact of €138.8 million.
Financial expenses, which amounted to €48.7 million, were 59.7% higher than in 2022: this reflects the higher level of interest rates and the higher cost of new financing. In 2023 IGD's overall average cost of debt was 3.86%, compared to 2.3% in 2022, while the net financial position went from €976.9 million at the end of 2022 to €968.4 million at the end of 2023.
As a result of the decline in fair value, the loan-to-value increased from 45.7% at the end of 2022 to 48.1% at the end of 2023.
in May following violent storms had produced flooding in the center, to normal operation very quickly.
In the two Sicilian centers, the La Torre center in Palermo and the Katanè in Catania, 2023 also saw the completion of the remodeling of the areas previously occupied by the supermarkets. The outcome was very positive as demonstrated by the fact that the new spaces created in the mall were fully let.
Officine Storiche's retail segment, part of the Porta a Mare project in Livorno, provides us with a good example as to how operational metrics can reward the significant work done to achieve the ideal merchandise mix immediately.
On September 14, in fact, we not only completed the most important project in our development pipeline, but we also gave the public the end result of a commercialization effort which reflects years of work, aimed at breathing new life into a large and complex space that formerly housed the city's old shipyards, with a stimulating and innovative commercial proposal. We have redesigned this area of more than 16,000 square meters by dividing it into 16 stores, 11 restaurants, a fitness center of nearly 5,000 square meters and an entertainment area with the idea of offering not only shopping, but also entertainment, dining and leisure.
Pre-letting activities intensified significantly over the past year. All of this made it possible for us to inaugurate Officine Storiche with the malls' occupancy at more than 95%, taking into account the stores which were already operational and leased.
In the first four days of operation more than 110,000 footfalls were recorded, while in the first four months there were more than 910,000 visitors: a success that is ongoing and will only increase, considering that in the second part of 2024 we will be able to count on the presence of Primark, a leading Irish fashion, home and beauty brand.
In Romania, the high levels of inflation affected household spending, leading to a deceleration of the GDP. In this macroeconomic backdrop, a high level of occupancy (96.2%) was still maintained in the Winmarkt malls. The slight decrease against the level recorded in the first half of the year, of about 60 basis points, is not significant, as it reflects the exit of a retailer from a medium-sized store which is close to being relet. In 2023, 515 renewals were signed in Romania, along with 147 turnover leases at an average upside of 1.94%, with a view to maintaining an attractive retail proposition, rich in services and appealing brands. Rent collection, which stood at about 98% in February, testifies to the effectiveness of the work done by the IGD team.
Given the ECB's highly restrictive policy and with credit markets remaining tight throughout the year, we found ourselves in an unfavorable situation at a time when we needed to refinance IGD's maturing debt.
In May 2023, however, we managed to raise €250 million through a five-year green secured facility, which enabled us to repay the €100 million private placement maturing in January 2024 in advance. The quality of our real estate assets and our continuous investments to make them increasingly more environmentally friendly allowed us to leverage on the highest level of ESG certification achieved by our assets which is essential to obtaining financial resources of this sort.
Even more challenging was the subsequent liability management transaction, which we launched on 5 October 2023 and concluded in the following month, in order to refinance the €400 million bond maturing in November 2024 in advance.
The transaction, which comprised an exchange and repurchase offer for the existing bonds and a consent solicitation, produced positive results on both fronts. Once almost 86% of the bondholders had accepted the terms of the offer, on 17 November 2023 we were able to issue a new senior bond of approximately €310 million, paying approximately €30 million in cash to the bondholders who had accepted the exchange by the early deadline (13 October 2023). The approval of the consent solicitation by the Bondholders' Meeting then made it possible to align the maturity and economic terms of the existing non-exchanged bonds with the new issue which matures on 17 May 2027.
The transaction includes a clause limiting the distribution of earnings to what is necessary to comply with SIIQ regulations, and a redemption clause, in the event of asset divestment, with the obligation to use the proceeds from the divestment to reimburse bondholders on a priority
FFO reached €55.4 million, compared to €67.2 million in 2022. Given the improvement achieved in core business EBITDA, the decrease of €11.8 million is attributable mainly to higher financial management expenses.
In November, when we published our results for the first nine months of 2023 and in light of the liability management transaction we had just completed, we provided full-year FFO guidance of €53 million.
"The FFO reported, although lower than in 2022, does provide an encouraging signal as it is above our own expectations of a few months ago."
Regarding Enterprise Risk Management, as of 1 January 2023, a premier advisory company was charged with IGD's risk management. Through direct interaction with the Risk Control Committee and the Board of Directors, the new risk manager reviewed the map of major risks - from financial to climate change risk - making not only a qualitative, but also a quantitative assessment, of the factors most relevant to IGD's business, within different scenarios. This new approach made it possible to define a set of indicators to be used when assessing risk, as part of a process that is not limited to an internal review, but includes continuous benchmarking against best practices.
We also set up internal regulations for selective disclosure which began with a detailed mapping of the information that is subject to disclosure outside IGD.
Following the results from the climate survey conducted in 2022, job descriptions for all company employees were drafted in 2023 and new career paths were activated, structuring a performance review system that is as objective as possible, thanks to the participation of all IGD's people. Starting in 2024, a new internally developed IT project will also enable a complete digitization of the performance management system.
IGD's commitment to Governance aspects is continuously reviewed and recognized by the numerous ESG ratings IGD can boast: 13 independent and unsolicited, as well as two solicited ratings, from CDP and GRESB.
> A significant part of the path to reach the targets of the Sustainability Plan 2022-2024 has already been covered
During the two-year period 2022-2023, IGD achieved 68.8% percent of the more than 40 sustainability targets defined in the 2024 Plan.
The BREEAM certifications obtained in 10 shopping centers in Italy, as well as the numerous solar energy systems installed, which produce about 2,900 MW of green energy in one year, or the 122 electric vehicle charging stations, present in 85% percent of IGD's shopping centers, are eloquent evidence of this achievement.
"The progress made in terms of increasingly virtuous behavior brings concrete benefits to the local communities as a result of lower greenhouse gas emissions, as well as to tenants, who see a decrease in their expenses."
IGD can also count on a high-level management team in all areas. A team built over time, including by enhancing the professional expertise of some internal figures to replace directors who had reached retirement.
"This cultural and managerial continuity has been an essential element in successfully navigating the challenging backdrop encountered in recent years."
In 2022 and 2023 we, in fact, continued to operate in accordance with the Plan, in terms of both operational choices, pursuing the important investment pipeline projects, and liability management.
We were aware, after all, that over the three-year period 2022-2024 we would have to refinance 90 percent of our debt. What we could not have foreseen was that market access would suddenly disappear, with banks experiencing serious difficulties in providing credit, in an environment of high rates.
"We, therefore, feel confident when we say that in 2024, the last year of the Plan, IGD can aspire to achieve the other operational goals."
In terms of financial management, our efforts will be focused on achieving a sustainable balance.
> With rates falling, it will make sense to refinance debt again
> The Chair Rossella Saoncella
> The Chief Executive Officer Claudio Albertini
When market access is renewed and while rates fall, we will be committed to carrying out a second re-financing which lengthens debt maturity and reduces its cost.
In this regard, on February 23, 2024, we signed an agreement with Sixth Street and Starwood Capital for the disposal of a portfolio comprising 13 assets valued at €258 million, largely in line with the book value at 31 December
Now that the 400-million-euro hurdle of the bond maturing in November 2024 has been removed, in theory the next financial maturities will not be until 2027. In reality, IGD now has the opportunity to work over the next 3 years to re-schedule debt and minimize cost as much as possible. The transaction proceeds will, in fact, be used to make partial early repayment of the mortgaged-backed loans on the properties sold, as well as a few other loans, in accordance with the relevant contractual agreements. > Resources generated in 2023 will help stren-
The divestment of the portfolio was one of the target of the 2022-2024 Business Plan and is aimed entirely at reducing the Group's financial leverage, with the Loan to Value estimated to drop by approximately 3.7 percentage points as of today.
The sale will be accomplished by transferring the assets to an Italian alternative real estate investment fund in which IGD will retain a 40% stake. Net of this interest, IGD will cash in about €155 million. Meanwhile, with the unwavering commitment of all its people, IGD remains focused on a very clear agenda for the current year.
Given that the SIIQ perimeter did not generate a profit, due to the negative impact of real estate valuations and higher financial expenses, no dividends will be distributed for 2023.
"The global market conditions and the strategy we are adhering to make us believe that it is reasonable to assume that IGD will soon be able to return to being a dividend company for its shareholders."

The directors' report that follows combines the reports to the consolidated financial statements and the financial statements of the Parent Company Immobiliare Grande Distribuzione SIIQ S.p.A., to avoid the repetition that would result by providing two separate documents. The consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2023 of Gruppo Immobiliare Grande Distribuzione SIIQ S.p.A. (IGD SIIQ S.p.A or IGD for short), including this report and the notes to the financial statements, consolidate the balance sheets and income statements of IGD SIIQ SpA and other Group companies as listed in the paragraph related to the scope of consolidation.
This report contains alternative performance indicators with respect to the conventional indicators required of audited financial statements, which comply with IAS/IFRS. The alternative performance indicators do stem from financial statements prepared on an IAS/IFRS-compliant basis, but have also been calculated using other sources or alternative methods, where clearly specified. These may not comply with the accounting standards required of audited financial statements and may not consider the accounting, recognition and measurement requirements associated with such standards. The indicators deemed significant for the reading of the Group's financial statements include like-for-like revenue, core business EBITDA, core business EBITDA margin, FFO, net financial position, the interest cover ratio, the average cost of debt (net of ancillary expenses, recurring and non), the gearing ratio, the loan to value, EPRA NAV METRICS (EPRA NRV, EPRA NTA, EPRA NDV), the EPRA Net Initial Yield (NIY) and EPRA 'topped-up' NIY, the EPRA Vacancy Rate, the EPRA Cost Ratios, the EPRA Earnings and the EPRA LTV (Loan to value), the calculations of which are described in the Glossary and in section 2.3 of this Directors' Report.
IGD was the first company in Italy to obtain SIIQ (Società di Investimento Immobiliare Quotata or real estate investment trust) status in 2008 and today is still the only retail real estate company that qualifies as a SIIQ.
Most of the Group's real estate assets are in Italy (93.8%). The international portfolio, which accounts for the remaining 6.2%, comprises the assets of Winmarkt, a Romanian chain of shopping centers which IGD controls through Win Magazin SA.
IGD SIIQ's perimeter of exempt operations includes the freehold assets found in Italy (around 91.3% of the total value of the Group's portfolio).
On 4 May 2023, the Extraordinary Shareholders' meeting of the shareholders of IGD Management SIINQ and the Board of Directors of IGD SIIQ S.p.A. approved the merger by incorporation of the wholly-owned subsidiary IGD Management SIINQ in Immobiliare Grande Distribuzione Società di Investimento Immobiliare Quotata S.p.A. based on the statement of financial position of IGD SIIQ S.p.A. and IGD Management SIINQ S.p.A. at 31 December 2022. The merger was finalized on 31 July 2023.
The merger took effect for legal purposes as from 1 October 2023 and for statutory and tax purposes as from 1 January 2023.
At 31 December 2023, in addition to the parent company, Gruppo IGD comprises:
A company dedicated to the sale, leasing and management of properties used for sports, in addition to the development and dissemination of sports;
Which, in addition to owning the businesses holding the licenses for the Centro Sarca, Millennium Center, Gran Rondò, and Darsena centers, also holds the majority of the operations which are not included in the SIIQ perimeter;
The merger marks the completion of a broader reorganization and rationalization of Gruppo IGD's shareholdings, reducing the number of equity holdings and separating, where possible, the license business from the "pure" property rental activities. This process was begun in 2021 with the (i) merger by incorporation of RGD Ferrara 2013 S.r.l. and Millennium Gallery S.r.l. in IGD Management S.r.l., (ii) the proportional partial demerger of IGD Management post-merger by IGD Service S.r.l. and (iii) the transformation of IGD Management in an unlisted real estate investment company. For more information on the transaction please refer to section 5.6.4 of the explanatory notes in IGD SIIQ's annual report. > Property management and leasing The property management and leasing of all the Group's freehold properties, as well as of some third-party assets, represents IGD's most important business. The main objective is to enhance the long-term value of the portfolio through active management of the properties, striving to maintain the properties as flexible and functional as possible, as well as optimize costs taking into account the entire life cycle of the shopping center. This activity comprises:
The Romanian subsidiary, through which it controls 100% of WinMarktManagement Srl, the company responsible for the team of Romanian managers;
Responsible for the construction of the mixed-use real estate development and requalification of Livorno's waterfront.
IGD is the biggest Italian retail property company; as a property company IGD acquires or develops retail properties, both already operational and newly completed (shopping centers, hypermarkets, supermarkets and malls) from which it extracts long-term value. Occasionally, the sale of freehold assets is also considered with a view to maintaining an optimal portfolio structure through an appropriate asset rotation strategy.
Completing IGD's activities are the services provided to owners and tenants of hypermarkets, supermarkets and the mall stores which can be broken down as follows:
IGD coordinates and supervises the drafting of the shopping center's marketing plan, as well as all the activities deemed essential to the operation of a shopping center: like security, cleaning and routine maintenance;
Which consists in the analysis of the mall's competitive positioning in order to determine the right tenant mix and

select the best retailers for each category of merchandise, negotiating with the retailers and managing the relationships with the current tenants.
At the end of 2023 IGD had 1,396 leases in Italy with a total of 669 retailers. During the year the Company signed 188 new leases explained by renewals (135) and turnover (53). The leases have an average residual duration of 4.1 years for mall retailers and 13.2 years for hypermarkets.
At the end of 2023 there were 662 active leases in Romania; during the year 515 new leases were signed explained by renewals (515) and turnover (147). The leases have an average residual duration of 4.4 years.
Careful turnover management, on the one hand, provides IGD with an opportunity to change the offering in its malls in light of new consumer trends and, on the other, to select retailers who are the most reliable and have the best sales potential.
As part of its Enterprise Risk Management activities IGD has been analyzing the risk profile of its tenants for some time. The system uses economic-financial data to assign each tenant with a score based on the risk category to which it belongs in order to assess the percentage of retailers belonging to the same risk category, as well as the rents as a percentage of IGD's total revenue. Thanks to turnover, IGD was able to reduce the number of higher-risk tenants and, at the same time, lower the sales at risk as a percentage of total sales.
The percentage of retailers generating a significant portion of IGD's rental income is limited. In 2023 the ten largest mall tenants in Italy represented 19% of the total rental income generated by malls, in line with 2022. In Romania the ten largest retailers accounted for 40.5% of the total in 2023, compared to 37.2% in 2022.
IGD's retail offering is strengthened by the significant number of very appealing brands: in the Italian malls, international brands account for 42% of the total rental income, while in Romania these brands represent 37% of the total.
In 2023 marketing was focused on three areas: the return of in-person events in the shopping centers, the development of the Digital Marketing Plan and the definition and implementation of the co-marketing project with Coop Alleanza 3.0.
In 2023 a total of 555 events were organized, an increase of 4% compared to 2022, with one event held every 2 weeks. When organizing these events, IGD's shopping centers focused on 3 main areas of activity:
1. Organizing events capable of attracting a significant number of people to the mall;
2. Involvement of the community in the organization of events: for this reason, in 2023 37% of the events organized in IGD shopping centers involved the local community (the highest percentage in last ten years);
3. Include socio-environmental initiatives among the events scheduled: in 2023 25% of the activities organized had these characteristics.
In 2023 IGD's marketing implemented a new digital strategy which leverages on the work done over the last three years and, based on existing tools and the results obtained, identified specific development activities.
The digital marketing strategy took shape through three, deeply intertwined, projects. The first, the Spotlight project, represents the heart of the strategy as it is focused on the continuous increase of customer loyalty and an understanding of the shopping center's customers. In 2023, 52 thousand new contacts were registered in the CRM system, an increase of 28% compared to the prior year.
This extensive database will allow IGD to launch annual loyalty programs, including by using the new marketing automation tool adopted, already in 2024. A specific loyalty project is also going to be developed in seven different pilot commercial centers: an initiative made possible thanks also to the development of IGD's first mobile app. The implementation of the entire digital project calls for the collaboration of all the employees involved in this type of innovation: for this reason, a second project, Synergy, was launched in order to provide opportunities for the exchange and sharing of information and experiences.
Lastly, with the project Partner we aim to increase the collaboration with tenants through a strategic and systematic approach to digitalization. Toward this end, for the second year in a row the Company carried out a large co-marketing campaign with the most important of its food anchors, Coop Alleanza 3.0, broken down in three different plans: communication, events and digital.
Based on the experience matured with this important partner, we decided to expand the co-marketing initiatives to include other tenants, in order to pursue the goal of increasing the appeal of the malls through shared promotional, digital and communication projects. The first examples of the shared projects, both promotions and in-person events in the malls, provided encouraging signs as to the positive impact they can have, both for the stomore than one non-food anchor, which act as important "attractors" for the whole center, and a growing number of personal services: not only restaurants, but also dental studios, diagnostic centers and fitness centers. Activities which reflect fully IGD's "Spaces to be lived in" concept and which respond to the needs that e-commerce cannot satisfy. Over the last few years IGD has also worked on reducing
res and for the shopping center. > Mission IGD's mission is to create value for all its stakeholders: shareholders and financial backers, employees, shoppers, local communities, retailers, as well as suppliers. We believe this is possible through sustainable growth. the space occupied by the hypermarkets to create new retail spaces in a few shopping centers. In the two Sicilian shopping centers, La Torre Shopping Center in Palermo and the Katanè Shopping Center in Catania, the work carried out after the remodeling of the area occupied by the supermarkets was completed, with a very positive outcome as demonstrated by the full letting of the spaces created in the mall.
IGD has always been focused on the retail segment of the Italian real estate market. A top player because of the overall size of its portfolio, IGD has succeeded in delivering on Business Plan guidance thanks to the way in which it has interpreted its role over time, including during the lengthy consumer crisis which persisted throughout a large part of the last decade. The ability to listen to the different needs of retailers, the desire to offer a range of flexible and personalized retail solutions, the ability to meet the changing needs of international brands (including bigger spaces and different formats) in a timely manner have allowed IGD to build a professional profile with characteristics that are unique to Italy. A fair, collaborative and farsighted approach to working which is valued by the tenants has also had a positive impact on the results posted in IGD's income statement. Contrary to the models used by the main European retail property companies, IGD has not focused on large shop-This approach benefits the retailers, has a positive impact on the long-term sustainability of rents and represents a benchmark for the rethinking of layouts at other centers where the hypermarket could be reformatted in order to adapt to new models of consumption. The ability to rethink the merchandising mix and completely new fit-outs to accommodate new designs in the retail properties lie at the heart of IGD's proven ability to maintain a high level of occupancy over time. > Strategic guidelines On 14 December 2021 the Board of Directors approved the new Business Plan 2022-2024. The main goal of the Plan is the proactive management of the assets in order to prepare them for the future and the new market challenges. The strategy leverages on 3 areas of operation: commercial and marketing, asset management and sustainability.
ping centers nor on a specific type of region: a calculated choice originally, which has proven repeatedly to be successful over the last 15 years of the Company's development. IGD's property portfolio, comprised of 9 key assets and different, medium sized centers, can be found throughout Italy typically near urban centers, near motorways and along main roads, which allows for easy access to the centers. Most of the IGD's assets also have a dominant position in their primary catchment areas. The results for 2023 show a drop in some items (revenues and Ebitda) contemplated in the plan, due mainly to the delayed opening of the Officine Storiche mall and the increase in condominium fees explained by higher energy costs and the delay in new openings. These same items (revenues and EBITDA) were, however, exceeded the budget approved by the Board of Directors on 23 February 2023, due mainly to higher rental income.
Historically, the typical IGD shopping center benefitted from a food anchor which helped to attract traffic all week long and promote customer loyalty which, in turn, benefitted mall retailers. More recently the format of IGD's centers is gradually being transformed, with the addition of Overall, the strategic and operating guidelines included in the Business Plan relating to commercial, marketing, sustainability and the investment pipeline are confirmed and are being following with the utmost commitment; as testified to by the good performance of the operational metrics and the progress made with respect to the ESG
and asset management targets.
Looking at the commercial strategy, IGD intends to accelerate commercial and marketing changes with a view to omnichannelism, as well as personalized communication and offers to shoppers, including by using the tools developed in the Digital Marketing Plan. The Company, therefore, has developed a commercial plan based on the uniqueness of each asset across the different areas of activity: merchandising mix, layout, digital marketing/ CRM and events.
In the period 2022-2023 the Group invested a total of approximately €60 million, and will invest another roughly €20 million in 2024, which will complete the pipeline called for over the life of the plan of around €80 million; these are improvements made to increase the portfolio's appeal and innovation, as well as extending the "life cycle".
As for sustainability, further steps will be taken to reduce the portfolio's environmental impact which will be included in the next Business Plan.
In light of the significant worsening of the global market conditions, specifically the increase in interest rates, the biggest gap with respect to the Plan are the financial expenses which are decidedly higher and the Loan-to-Value, which was also impacted negatively by the drop in the fair value of the real estate assets. Toward this end, on 26 January 2023, IGD published a press release stating that a few targets of the Business Plan were no longer achievable, with respect specifically to FFO and dividends.
The strategic objectives are to reduce the Loan-to-Value and to refinance debt well in advance are, at any rate, not only confirmed, but have already been achieved: in addition to what was done in 2022, in 2023 financial liability management activities were also carried out thanks to which IGD was able to refinance €650 million in debt stock. With the deal announced on 23 February 2024, IGD also completed the disposal included in the Plan which estimated a cash-in of around €155 million to be used entirely to reduce the Group's debt.
In 2023 the international economy continued to grow, though at a moderately slower pace than the previous year. Global GDP growth is estimated at +3.1%, compared with +3.5% in 20221 . The economy continued to be held back by the restrictive monetary policies of major countries' central banks (with the high cost of debt discouraging private investment), not to mention high inflation and its negative impact on consumption, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, and the new crisis in the Middle East2.
In 2024 the global economy is expected to slow somewhat further, with forecast GDP growth of +2.9%, even as the gradual decline in worldwide inflation would seem to suggest a potential shift in the policy orientation of the major central banks. In any case, this outlook is shrouded in uncertainty due to international political tensions, especially in the Middle East.3 In Europe, restrictive monetary conditions and persistently high energy prices have caused a more marked slowdown than in the rest of the world, and GDP in the main euro area countries weakened with respect to 20224. Italy is no exception; fourth-quarter GDP, corrected for calendar effects and seasonal factors, grew by 0.2% on the previous quarter (when it had increased by 0.1%).5 On average for the year, therefore, GDP grew by +0.7%, down sharply from the +3.7% recorded in 2022. The main growth driver was private consumption which, despite high inflation, rose by +1.4% year-on-year thanks to the excellent performance of the labor market and rising employment6. Inflation was much lower this year, on the strength of a gradual fall in energy costs, and the downward trend solidified in October: the national consumer price index gradually slid from 11.6% in December 2022 to 5.3% in September, then from October to December dropped abruptly to 0.6%7, the lowest level since the second quarter of 2021. On average for the year, inflation came in at 5.7% and is projected to fall further in 2024 to around 2%.
In this scenario, Italy's economy should expand at a similar pace in 2024 (GDP growth is forecast at +0.6-0.7%), driven entirely by domestic demand net of inventories8. Strong consumption was mirrored by the solid operating performance of Italian malls in 2023: mall retailers' sales increased by +4.3% on 2022 and footfalls showed a similar trend, rising by +4.5% for the year. Retailers' sales were also higher than in 2019, showing growth over a 12-month period of +6.2%, while footfalls are not yet fully back to their pre-pandemic levels and came in at 87% of the 2019 figure.
It is important to note that all merchandise categories enjoyed higher sales than in 2022, except electronics, where a slight decrease of 2.4% should be viewed in light of very strong growth in the preceding two years. Food and beverage performed exceptionally well, with sales higher than both 2022 (+15.5%) and 2019 (+8.6%); on that note, cinema receipts rebounded by no less than +51.3%, which in addition to boosting footfalls helped sustain food and beverage sales during evening hours. This demonstrates that IGD's type of shopping center (urban and dominant in its catchment area) has reconquered its role as a place to gather and spend free time, a place that goes IGD has also been working on strengthening synergies with its tenants through the Partner project, that is, the set of co-marketing initiatives that include the project rolled out in 2022 with Coop Alleanza 3.0, the main food anchor tenant of the Group's shopping centers. Thanks to this initiative, in 2023 it was possible to use Coop's powerful communication tools with their extensive territorial reach to sponsor new arrivals and promotions at individual stores within the mall; 88% of tenants reported that they were satisfied with the initiative as it helped them increase their sales. The Company also worked in tandem with other major
beyond mere shopping. IGD's shopping centers are also seen as increasingly convenient for satisfying everyday needs, as witnessed by the strong performance of food anchors (supermarkets and hypermarkets), whose sales were up with respect to both 2022 (+3.9%) and 2019 (+1.6%). tenants like Okaidi, a popular children's clothing brand, with which it launched an exclusive promotion in six shopping centers that reached more than 24,000 shoppers. Another successful initiative was carried on with the cosmetics brand Kiko Milano, which partnered with IGD in the first "physical" co-marketing event at one of the Group's malls.
In 2023 IGD also pursued its marketing strategy by way of three different but related projects. Spotlight is the heart of the digital strategy and is focused on increasing contacts within the CRM system, to help IGD get to know and understand shopping center visitors and boost their loyalty; during the year there was a +28% increase in CRM contact records and the Group created an annual visitor loyalty program that will ensure access to specific services or promotions at stores located inside the mall. Meanwhile, the Synergy project aims to develop IGD's first cell phone app, to be launched in 2024 in seven shopping centers in support of the loyalty program described above.
IGD forged ahead with its pre-letting activities in 2023, with more than 26,000 square meters assigned to retailers and 83 new stores opened. Over the 12-month period a total of 188 leases were signed (135 renewals and 53 turnover), including with 22 new brands mostly representing food & beverage and culture, leisure time & gifts, the two best-performing categories. For the newly signed leases (renewals and turnover), which make up 13.5% of the Group's rental income, rent was essentially stable at -0.45%. Finally, the Company worked to freshen up the in-person organized events it holds at its shopping centers, giving them an even stronger social role within the catchment area by catalyzing the attention of different visitor segments: teens, adults, families with children, even school field trips. In all it organized 552 events.
Through these efforts, IGD was able to maintain a high occupancy rate of 95.3%, with a healthy portfolio of paying tenants: the rent collection rate as of 22 February 2024 was around 97%, better than the previous year. In Romania as well, the economy continued to grow in 2023 but at a slower pace than in the previous two years, due to high inflation that limited consumers' purchasing power and a restrictive monetary policy that hampered access to credit. On average for the year, in any case, GDP is expected to have grown by +2.2% – one of the fastest rates among all countries in the euro zone – and

is projected to re-accelerate in 2024 in parallel with declining inflation.9 Regarding the operating performance of Winmarkt malls, at the end of 2023 the occupancy rate was still very high at 96.2%; the slight drop with respect to the first six months of the year (-60 bps) is due chiefly to the departure of a retailer from the Piatra-Neamt shopping center, where it occupied a medium-sized space on two floors, about to be fully re-let pending negotiations in progress. Pre-letting activities during the year led to the signature of 662 leases (515 renewals and 147 turnover), with rent on renewals up by +1.94%, as proof of Romania's vibrant retail sector. The rent collection rate is also excellent: around 98% as of 22 February 2024.
In 2023 IGD invested around €25.2 million, distributed among fit-out work (€9.7 million), energy efficiency and other ESG improvements (€3.9 million), ordinary upgrades to its assets (€7.8 million), and development of the Porta a Mare project (€3.8 million).
The main event for the year was undoubtedly the September inauguration of the retail section of Officine Storiche, within the mixed-use Porta a Mare project in Livorno: 16,000 square meters hosting 16 stores, 11 food and beverage locations, a fitness center, and an entertainment area. Thanks to intensive pre-letting efforts, the new mall has an occupancy rate of more than 95%, to be joined by the major international retailer Primark during the course of 2024. The visitor response has been excellent, with more than 110,000 footfalls in the first four days the mall was open and over 750,000 in the first four months.
In addition to retail space, Officine Storiche also has 42 apartments for sale. At the end of 2023, 30 units had been sold with a cash-in for IGD of around €6 million for the year; in addition, five binding offers had been signed and the expected cash-in for 2024 is about €4 million.
During the year IGD completed the restyling of Porto Grande shopping center (AP), which was reopened on 23 November and saw a 6.3% rise in footfalls in the first month post-inauguration (compared with the same period in 2022), while restyling work continued on the Leonardo shopping center (BO). Repairs were necessary at Lungo Savio shopping center in Cesena, severely damaged by the flood that hit much of Emilia-Romagna from 15 to 17 May 2023. The hypermarket reopened to the public on 24 June, while the rest of the mall's stores were gradually reopened starting in July. While repairs are underway, a commercial remodeling will be carried out to include a midsize focal area incorporating various stores.
As for the Group's financial structure, despite high interest rates and difficult access to the markets, IGD managed to raise €650 million in financing during the year. In May it obtained a five-year, €250 million green secured facility that it used, among other things, to redeem the €100 million private placement due to mature in January 2024. In November, IGD finished refinancing the €400 million bond due to mature in November 2024 through an exchange and tender offer for the existing bond notes and a successful consent solicitation process: the acceptance rate for the exchange and tender offer was 85.5% of the nominal amount of the bond, while approval of the consent solicitation by the bondholders' meeting made it possible to align the maturity and financial terms of the non-exchanged bond notes with the new bond (see press release of 14 November 2023).
Through these two transactions, IGD has therefore covered its financial maturities for all of 2024, with no significant redemptions occurring before 2027. Also, in light of the new bond maturity, Fitch Ratings Inc. confirmed its BBB- investment grade rating with stable outlook, while S&P Global Ratings confirmed its BB rating with stable outlook.
Given the above, at 31 December 2023 the average cost of debt was 3.86%, up sharply from the previous year's 2.26%; the interest coverage ratio (ICR) stood at 2.4x and the loan to value ratio was 48.1%, up from 45.7% at the end of 2022, due mostly to the negative fair value change.
In the income statement, as described below, the improvement in EBITDA was more than offset by the steep rise in financial charges, bringing funds from operations (FFO) to €55.4 million, down 17.5% with respect to the previous year. FFO was still higher than the guidance given to the market on 14 November 2023, which predicted FFO of around €53 million for the year.

Certain cost and revenue items have been restated or offset, which explains any differences from the financial statements (see the segment reporting section for further information). Note that the intermediate results shown above, namely CORE BUSINESS EBITDA, EBITDA, and EBIT, are not defined as accounting measures under International Accounting Standards and should therefore not be considered a substitute for evaluating the Company's performance. Also, the way the company determines intermediate results may not be consistent with the methods followed by other companies and/or groups in the sector, so such figures may not be comparable.
Rental income amounted to €142,370 thousand at 31 December 2023, an increase of 3.7%.
Net rental income came to €119,585 thousand, an increase of 4.9% on the previous year and a like-for-like increase of 7.1%.
Net rental income freehold stood at €110,595 thousand, up by 5.0% with respect to 2022. The margin is sizeable, coming in at 83.0% which is higher than the previous year.
Net rental income leasehold came to €8,990 thousand, an increase of 2.8% on 2022.

The increase of €5,113 thousand compared with 2022 restated is explained by:
> Like-for-like revenue in Italy (malls +4.7% and hypermarkets +5.9%) due to pre-letting and ISTAT indexing (around €6.9 million for malls, +7.1%, and €1.3 million for hypermarkets, +5.7%), partially offset by higher discounts for around €1 million and some tenant turnover, especially during the second half of the year, with revenue streams from 4Q 2023 or 2024. Rent from temporary spaces also increased (€0.5 million). In the reporting period, 188 leases (135 renewals and 53 turnover) were signed with little to no change in rents (-0.45%);
> A decrease of €1,612 thousand in non-like-for-like revenue (for the remapping of Palermo, Catania, Casilino, Porto Grande, Tiburtino, Leonardo, and Lungo Savio and the opening of Officine Storiche);
> An increase of €646 thousand in revenue by the Romanian subsidiary as a result of lower discounts and the inflation effect. During the year, 662 leases (147 turnover and 515 renewals) were signed with an average upside of 1.94% on renewals.
Overall, like-for-like revenue was up by 5.3% or €6.7 million, compared with a total of €137.9 million, accounting for about 97% of rental income in 2023.
Direct costs from rental activities and rent payable came
to €22,785 thousand. The decrease in costs is due essentially to lower credit loss provisions and lower condominium fees with respect to 2022.


2022 2023 23,223
Revenue from services was higher than the previous year by 6.4%.

Most of this revenue comes from the facility management business (83.3% of the total or €6,394 thousand), which was higher than in the prior year, as was pilotage revenue; there was a decrease in revenue from agency and outsourcing services.
Direct costs for services amounted to €5,720 thousand, an increase of €208 thousand (+3.8%) with respect to 2022.

30 31 IGD SIIQ S.P.A. - ANNUAL REPORT 2023
Core business expenses, including payroll costs at headquarters, grew from €12,300 thousand in 2022 to €13,385 thousand (+8.8%), due primarily to higher HQ labor costs, the ongoing project to insource IT systems and infrastructure, and the cost of ESG certifications and consulting. Consulting fees and communication costs were essentially stable.
These expenses came to 8.9% of core business revenue:
Core business EBITDA amounted to €108,153 thousand in 2023, 4.6% higher than the previous year, while total EBITDA rose by 4.3% to €107,662 thousand. The changes in the components of total EBITDA in 2023 are shown below:


Trading posted an operating loss of €491 thousand, but the direct sales margin was actually positive; the result reflects higher costs for change orders incurred in 2022 for around €0.2 million.
In 2023 the Porta a Mare project generated revenue from trading of €6,245 thousand, for the final sale of 13 units in the Officine section and one unit in the Mazzini section. With these sales, the Mazzini section is sold out, while Officine Storiche has seen 30 final sales and 5 binding offers (to be finalized in 2024) out of a total of 42 apartments.
The costs for the Porta a Mare project are broken down below:

G&A expenses


Fair value adjustments and impairment losses/reversals
Fair value changes (-€138,022 thousand) were made up as follows:
in 2023 came to a negative €138,764 thousand, compared with €93,778 thousand the previous year. > An impairment loss of €100,819 thousand for the adjustment to fair value of the investment property and projects nearing completion of Gruppo IGD's Italian companies, based on independent appraisals as of 31 December 2023;
maintenance on freehold properties of the Romanian subsidiary Win Magazin SA;
> An impairment loss of €8,309 thousand on right-of-use assets from the application of IFRS 16, including increases for the year; > An impairment loss of €6,300 thousand for the adjustment to fair value of the investment property of the Romania subsidiary Win Magazin SA, based on independent appraisals as of 31 December 2023.
> An impairment loss of €21,179 thousand for extraordinary maintenance on freehold and leasehold properties of Gruppo IGD's Italian companies and reclassifications from assets under construction; > An impairment loss of €1,415 thousand for extraordinary Net impairment losses on work in progress and inventory (€742 thousand) reflect (i) an impairment loss of €409 thousand on the Porto Grande expansion and (ii) an impairment loss of €333 thousand on the Officine (residential), Molo, Lips, and Arsenale sections of Porta a Mare based on independent appraisals as of 31 December 2023.

EBIT came to a negative €33,056 thousand, lower than the previous year, for the reasons described above.
Overall income taxes, current and deferred, were in line with the previous year at a positive €31 thousand. agreement for the mall at Centro Nova shopping center.
Current taxes increased by €71 thousand due mostly to the improved profit margins of Group companies. The change in deferred taxes (€430 thousand) is explained by: (i) adjustments reflecting the change in fair value of the investment property held by the non-SIIQ subsidiary Win Magazin S.A., and (ii) the effects of applying international accounting standard IFRS 16 to the lease The change in "Out-out-of-period income/charges – Provisions" is explained by the fact that at 31 December 2022 this item included: (i) €130 thousand for IRAP (regional business tax) of IGD Management SIINQ S.p.A. which was redetermined after the sale of business units to IGD Service S.r.l. as it no longer qualified as a holding company and was once again subject to standard IRAP tax rates, and (ii) €240 thousand for IRES (corporate income tax) on adjustments to the 2021 tax consolidation.
Net financial charges went from €30,459 thousand in 2022 to €48,657 thousand this year. The increase of €18,198 thousand is mostly explained by:
> Higher interest on mortgage loans due to the €215 million green financing loan taken out in August 2022, a new €250 million loan taken out in May 2023, and the rise interest rates;
> Higher financial charges on bonds reflecting the issue of a new €400 million bond and partial exchange for the bond notes maturing on 28 November 2024;
> Lower IRS charges, due to the early termination of various derivatives with a positive mark to market and a de-
crease in notional amounts.
At 31 December 2023, the average cost of debt (without considering recurring and non-recurring transaction costs) was 3.86%, up from 2.26% at 31 December 2022, while the weighted average effective cost of debt went from
2.71% to 4.71%.
The interest coverage ratio (ICR) calculated as the ratio of EBITDA to net financial charges is 2.22x, down from
3.4x at 31 December 2022.

As a result of the above factors, the Group recorded a net loss of €81,732 thousand, compared with a loss of €22,315 thousand the previous year.


FFO (Funds from Operations), an indicator used widely in the real estate sector (REITs and Italian SIIQs) that measures the cash flow generated by a company's core business, came to €55,442 thousand at 31 December 2023. This is 17.5% lower than in 2022, due to a worsening of "adjusted" net financial charges (net of non-recurring exchange costs, which include the expected redemption above par of the bond notes) and the indexing of rent payable.

The gearing ratio is the ratio of net debt to net equity, including non-controlling interests, net of cash flow hedge reserves. The ratio worsened during the year, from 0.87 at 31 December 2022 to 0.97 at the end of 2023.

Gruppo IGD decided to report on a few of the EPRA performance indicators, in accordance with the recommendations of EPRA10, found in "EPRA Best Practices Recommendations11.
EPRA Vacancy Rate: the portfolio's vacancy rate calculated as the ratio between the estimated market rental value (ERV) of the vacant premises and the ERV of for the whole portfolio. Given the different characteristics of the portfolio and the Italian market with respect to the Romanian one, the vacancy rate was calculated separately by asset class and for the two countries.
NET ASSET VALUE METRICS: are the main performance indicators that provide stakeholders with information about the fair value of the company's assets and liabilities. In October 2019, three new asset value indicators were introduced in EPRA Best Practices Recommendations: : EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (NRV), EPRA Net Tangible Assets Value (NTA) and EPRA Net Disposal Value (NDV).
NET TANGIBLE ASSETS (NTA): the underlying assumption behind the EPRA Net Tangible Assets calculation assumes entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallizing certain levels of deferred tax liability. It represents a scenario in which a few properties could be sold. At 31 December 2023 the company does not have any assets which could be sold and for this reason the deferred taxes coincide with the amount excluded from the NRV calculation. Contrary to NRV, the goodwill and the intangible assets included in the financial statements are excluded from the equity attributable to the Group.
NET DISPOSAL VALUE (NDV): represents the stakeholders' value under a disposal scenario, where deferred tax, financial instruments and certain other adjustments are calculated to the full extent of their liability, net of any resulting tax. In this disposal scenario goodwill is excluded from the Group's portion of equity, while the fair value of debt is included.
NET REINSTATEMENT VALUE (NRV): the objective of the EPRA Net Reinstatement Value measure is to highlight the value of net assets on a long-term basis. It represents the repurchase value of the company, assuming the company does not sale any properties and is calculated based on the equity attributable to the Group (as shown in the IFRS financial statements), excluding the fair value movements in hedging instruments and deferred taxes on property valuation surpluses. net of properties currently being developed. EPRA "topped-up" NIY: is a measure calculated by making an adjustment to EPRA NIY based on the annualized rental income (including variable and temporary revenue) excluding any other temporary incentives such as discounted rent-free periods and step-up rents. EPRA LTV: is a measure which shows the ratio of the net
EPRA Cost Ratios: are ratios aimed at providing a consistent comparison base for a company's main structural and operating costs calculated by expressing operating costs and general overhead, net of management fees and a limited number of other items, as a percentage of gross rental income. There are two EPRA Cost Ratios, one which includes and one which excludes direct vacancy costs.
EPRA Earnings: is a measure of a company's underlying operating performance net of fair value adjustments, gains and losses from the sale of investment property and a limited number of other items that are not considered to be part of the Group's core business.
EPRA Net Initial Yield (NIY): is a measure calculated as the annualized rental income (including variable and temporary revenue), less non-recoverable operating expenses, divided by the market value of the real estate assets,
financial position (which includes financial debt for the headquarter's lease and the balance between payables and receivables) to the market value of the real estate assets. The debt and assets of the companies in which the Group has a significant interest are included in the calculation.

The NTA was lower than at 31 December 2022 (-10.4%). The difference with respect to the NRV is that goodwill and intangible assets recognized in the financial statements are excluded from the NTA calculation.
The NRV was lower than at 31 December 2022 (-10.3%) due mainly to the changes in net equity and the fair value of financial instruments. These changes are primarily attributable to: (i) the payment of dividends during the year (paid entirely in May 2023), (ii) the decrease in the properties' fair value, (iii) offset by FFO, and (ii) other minor changes in equity. The NDV was lower than at 31 December 2022 (-10.5%). This change, in addition to the above, also reflects the decrease in the fair value of debt calculated by discounting cash flows at a risk-free rate plus a market spread. This is explained by the use of a risk-free yield curve and the market spread updated based on conditions at 31 December 2023, in addition to a change in the composition of debt (in terms of both duration and cost).

The net initial yield (NIY) is the annualized rents generated by the portfolio (including variable and temporary revenue), net of irrecoverable operating costs expressed as a percentage of the real estate portfolio's fair value, excluding development properties and assets being remodeled.
The annualized rental income includes all the adjustments that the company is contractually entitled to consider at the close of each year (indexing and other changes).
The real estate assets considered for the purposes of NIY (the completed portfolio) include: (i) the properties held 100% by the Company; (ii) any properties held in joint venture and (iii) assets held for trading. Plots of land and properties under development are not included. The properties (hypermarkets and malls) which will be remodeled, were reclassified under "Investment properties under development".
The EPRA "Topped-up" NIY is a measure calculated by making an adjustment to EPRA NIY based on the annualized rental income (including variable and temporary revenue) at capacity, namely excluding any temporary incentives such as discounted and step-up rents.
The EPRA vacancy rate in Italy was 4.7%, higher than in the prior year. The vacancy rate for malls came to 5.8%, higher than at 31 December 2022, while full occupancy was posted for hypermarkets, consistent with the prior year. The EPRA vacancy rate in Romania was higher than at 31 December 2022, going from 2.0% at 31 December 2022 to 3.8%.

EPRA Cost Ratio (excluding direct vacancy costs) (B/C)
The EPRA cost ratio (including direct vacancy costs) was lower with the respect to 31 December 2022 due to a more than proportional increase in Gross Rental Income against costs. The EPRA cost ratio (excluding direct vacancy costs) was slightly lower than in the prior year. The Epra Earnings per share calculation is shown below:

The EPRA Earnings indicator is calculated by excluding non-monetary items (write-downs, fair value gains and losses on properties and financial instruments recognized in the income statement, any impairment or revaluations of goodwill), as well as non-recurring items (gains or losses from the disposal of investment properties, profits generated by trading along with current tax, costs relating to the advance repayment of any loans), deferred tax relating to the fair value of properties and financial instruments recognized in the income statement, as well as the portion of these items that pertains to non-controlling interests. The main differences with respect to FFO relate to generic amortization, depreciation and provisions, as well as the above EPRA adjustments, the non-recurring tax recognized in the income statement and the deferred tax that does not relate to the fair value of properties and financial instruments recognized in the income statement. The figure posted at 31 December 2023 shows a decrease of €15,245 thousand or -21.1%, more than decrease in FFO due to higher amortization and depreciation compared to the prior year.

The Epra LTV is a measurement of the ratio between the net financial position, including finance leases relating to headquarters to which the difference between receivables (trade, other current assets, other non-current receivables) and payables (trade, provisions for risks and charges, severance reserves, other liabilities) is added, as is the value of the real estate portfolio, including the building housing the company's registered office. The Group's ratio also includes the LTV of the 40% interest IGD holds in Fondo Juice.

IGD's stock price fell 26.0% in 2023: from the price of €3.115 recorded at 30 December 2022, the stock, in fact, closed at €2.305 on the last trading session of the year, 29 December 2023. The high for 2023, of €3.48, was recorded on 25 January, while the period low of €1.83 was posted on 25 October.
In 2023 IGD's stock performed differently than the FTSE Italy All-Share which closed the year 26.3% higher compared to year-end 2022. This rebound of the stock index was largely driven by the outstanding performance of bank and energy stocks which typically benefit from higher interest rate environment, with strong geopolitical tensions and which, account for a significant portion of the Italian market's capitalization.
IGD's stock underperformed the European sector index, EPRA/NAREIT Developed Europe, which was up 12.6% YoY, as well as the retail sector index, EPRA/NAREIT Developed Europe Retail, which rose 18.5%. The real estate indices closed 2023 higher thanks to the rally that materialized in the last five weeks of the year in the wake of more encouraging prospects for inflation and, therefore, the cost of capital.
In 2023 there was, therefore, little correlation between IGD's stock performance and the benchmark indices which calls for a closer look at the specific factors that impacted the Company. The correction of IGD's stock began on 26 January 2023 when the Company announced – based on the year-end independent appraisals of the real estate portfolio which was penalized heavily by the increased interest rates – that it would not be able to confirm the Business Plan targets for 2024 Business, neither in terms of Loan-to-Value, nor in terms of FFO, given the rising financial charges and the uncertainty of the global market conditions.
Even though the results published in 2023 continued to confirm Gruppo IGD's healthy operating results, the stock price remained very weak. This trend was not inverted until after the stock's low was hit at the end of October, when the market began to express appreciation for the successful early refinancing of bond maturing in November 2024, implemented through a complex liability management transaction which the Company launched on 5 October and completed with very positive results on 14 November.
The stock price was, therefore, impacted by the ECB's restrictive monetary policy implemented to offset inflation, which had a particularly negative impact on IGD given the weight of the financial maturities that the Company had to manage at that point.
Even if 2023 was a positive year for equity investments, with the MSCI World up 21.8%, the increases seen in the main stock markets were not the result of overall momentum. The investors, for example, had little appetite for the small/mid-caps and preferred blue chips, which are more liquid in an uncertain environments. The sector performances were also uneven. The drivers, in addition to the bank and energy stocks, were largely IT companies. The "Magnificent Seven" of the American market (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla) recorded significant increases in their market caps: overall these stocks account for a whopping 62% of the S&P 500's growth recorded in the year.
During the Annual General Meeting held on 13 April 2023 shareholders resolved to pay a dividend for 2022 of €0.30 per share. The dividend was payable as from 10 May 2023 with shares going ex-div on 8 May 2023 (detachment of coupon n. 6).
In light of the loss recorded in the year by the parent company IGD SIIQ Spa, which voids the mandatory distribution requirement in accordance with the SIIQ regulations, a dividend will not be paid for 2023.
For real estate equities – and, therefore, for IGD too - overall 2024 is expected to provide different opportunities, attested to by the renewed interest of investors, including generalists, toward the end of last year. The drop in interest rates not only increase the yield differentials of the different asset classes with respect to the risk-free rate, which indicates that property valuations should stabilize, but also has a direct impact of the valuation of single stocks to the extent that the discount rates used in discounted cash flow (DCF) models are lower. Despite the rise of some stocks already recorded in 2023, overall the sector is still trading at a discount to its P/NAV when compared to historic levels. This is even clearer for IGD which is trading at a discount with respect to its NAV between year-end 2023 has reached 76%. > Dividend There were 138 participants in the conference calls, slightly higher than in 2022 when there were a total of 116 participants. In 2023, IGD's management participated in different events, both virtual and in-person, which made it possible to meet with 76 institutional investors during the year, including 26 asset management companies for the first time. In order to maintain a dialogue with equity portfolio managers IGD participated in Borsa Italiana's Euronext STAR Conference which was in Milano on 22 March 2023. Management also participated in the Mid&Small Conference organized by Virgilio IR, both the virtual even on 28-30 June 2023, and the in-person event held in Milano on 22 November.

The main changes affecting the different asset classes in the year are provided below.
Shopping malls and retail parks were valued at 31 December 2023 by the appraisers CBRE, KROLL, C&W and JLL based on the following percentages of FV:
The weighted average gross initial yield was 6.82%, 0.41% higher than in 2022 and +0.11% higher than in the prior half due to an increase in rents attributable to ISTAT indexing. a rise of +0.91% compared to the same date in 2022 and of +0.27% against the prior half.
The fair value of this asset class reached €1,404.80 million. Like-for-like there was a decrease of 6.5% (-€94.36 million) against the prior year and of -2.47% (-€34.35 million) against the first half of 2023.
The occupancy rate for this asset class was unchanged at 100%. The average gross initial yield for this asset class like-forlike came to 7.58%, an increase of 0.62% against the same date of 2022 and of 0.06% compared to the prior half, attributable mainly to the drop in fair value.
The DCF method was used by all the appraisers for this asset class. In the DCF models of CBRE, C&W, and JLL a standard duration of 10 years was used for all assets; KROLL used a standard duration of 15 years. The assets of Porta Medicea, owner of the Porta a Mare Project, were valued at 31 December 2023 by CBRE and Kroll. CBRE was responsible for the appraisals of the Mazzini and Officine sections and Kroll appraised the Molo, Lips and Arsenale sections. Both appraisers used the conversion or residual method. As mentioned above, the "Officine retail" property was reclassified as part of the Mall/RP asset class and was absorbed by the Mazzini Mall which was renamed the Porta a Mare Waterfront Mall.
In the second half of 2023 the perimeter of this asset class was expanded to incude "Officine retail" previously classified as part of the "Porta a Mare Project". This property was absorbed by the Mazzini Mall in Livorno which, as of this Annual Report, is now called the Porta a Mare Waterfront Mall. The remainder of the Project can be broken down into the following sections:
The financial occupancy rate was 94.28%, 0.42% lower than at 31 December 2022, but 0.19% compared to the prior half.
At 31 December 2023 this asset class was valued by CBRE using the residual method.
The fair value of this asset class reached an estimated €2.06 million, a decrease of 16.57% (-€410 thousand) compared to 31 December 2022 and -5.95% compared to the period half (-€130 thousand).
While the higher estimated rate of inflation used in the DCF models was lower, the uncertainty about future ECB rate cuts led the appraisers to maintain higher average weighted discount rates, to the extent that the average weighted discount rate for Malls & RP rose +0.86% compared to 31 December 2022 and 0.07% against the first half, coming in at 8.50%. > Officine Storiche (retail, residential, parking and public parking) which has a total GLA of 1,486 m2 relative to the unsold residential units. Work on this area began in the first half 2015 and at the end of 2023 30 residential units, 26 enclosed garage units and 10 parking places in the residential area were sold. The retail portion was sold to Gruppo IGD SIIQ in September 2023 and opened to the public in November;
While the rise in the cost of money slowed in the second half of the year, the uncertainty as to investors' interest in the Malls/RP segment and a few transactions at rates which were purely speculative impacted the total average gross cap out rate which at 31 December 2023 was 8.42%, > Lips: land with building permits covering a GLA of 15,867 m2 to be used for retail, tourist services, accommodations and temporary residences; > Molo Mediceo: land with building permits covering a

13 of IGD's hypermarkets and supermarkets are leased on a long-term basis to Gruppo Coop Alleanza 3.0 (formerly Coop Adriatica Scarl), while the remaining 6 are leased to domestic and local brands (Gruppo Unicoop Tirreno Soc. Coop, Conad, Gruppo Radenza, Famila and Superconveniente) on a long-term basis, also. Rent is indexed to 75% of the ISTAT index.
Tenants are responsible for all routine and extraordinary maintenance on plants and the interiors of the buildings.
The hypermarkets and supermarkets were valued at 31 December 2023 by the appraisers CBRE, KROLL, C&W and JLL based on the following percentages of FV:
The DCF method was used by all the appraisers for this asset class.
CBRE, C&W and JLL used a standard duration of 10 years for all the assets, while KROLL used a variable duration depending on the expiration of the lease held by the retailer and the estimated fair value of the space in the year the lease is up for renewal.
The fair value of this asset class reached €399.78 million, a decrease of -0.35% (-€1.4 million in absolute terms) compared to 2022 and an increase of 0.28% (+1.1 million in absolute terms) against the prior half which attests to the asset class's resilience with respect to market turbulence.
In the year the discount and cap out rates were both higher due to the estimated average rate of inflation used in the DCF models and the ECB's increased discount rate.
The actual yield of this asset class reached 7.33%, an increase of +0.11% compared to 31 December 2022 and +0.02% compared to the prior half.
The gross exit yield was +0.45% higher than at 31 December 2022 and +0.16% higher than in the prior half, coming in at 6.97%.

During the appraisal, REAG followed generally accepted valuation concepts and methods, applying in particular the following valuation
methods.
• Market/Sales Comparison Approach: is predicated on actual sales transaction data. Sales are adjusted for comparability including time, location, size, condition, utility and intangible benefits.
• Income Capitalization Approach: takes two different methodological
• Direct Capitalisation: based on capitalisation of future net incomes generated by the property at a rate deduced from the real estate
• Discounted Cash Flow Method (DCF) based:
on the calculation of future net incomes derived from Property renting for a period of "n." years;
on the determination of the Market Value of the property by means of the capitalisation in perpetuity of the net income at the end of this period;
on the discounted back net incomes (cash flow) as of the
• The Development Approach, based on the discounting of the cash flows generated by the development project to the Study/Valuation date through the project duration. This model can be combined with a financial valuation model (Discounted Cash Flow) based on a development project defined on the basis of size, use destination, development costs and sustainability. In other words, an analysis based on costs and revenues is used in order to determine the Market Value of the asset forming the subject
The model is broken down into a chart of cash flows (incoming and outgoing) relating to the building development project. Outflows are made up of construction, demolition, urban development, design and works management costs, profits for the real estate promoter and any other incidental costs; inflows are made up of revenues deriving from the sales of the forecast use destinations.The breakdown of costs and revenues on a temporal basis makes it possible to create a chart of cash flows - net of the profits of the real estate promoter – to be discounted to date at an appropriate rate representing the cost of the capital.

The special SIIQ (Società di Investimento Immobiliare Quotate) regime was introduced in Art. 1, paragraphs 119 - 141, of Law n. 296 dated 27 December 2006 ("the Founding Law") and is governed by the Ministry of Economics and Finance's decree n. 174 dated 7 September 2007 ("the Implementing Regulation").
Pursuant to the law the income generated by rental activities is exempt from IRES and IRAP as long as the company distributes a minimum percentage of the income generated by this activity ("Exempt Operations").
Based on Legislative Decree n. 133 of 12 September 2014, converted as amended into Law n. 164 of 11 November 2014, exempt operations may also include the capital gains and losses relating to rental properties and interests held in SIIQ or SIINQ, as well as the income, capital gains and losses, relating to interests held in "qualified" real estate funds.
In order to fulfill the distribution requirements, the SIIQs must distribute (or risk losing their SIIQ status): (i) at least 70% of the distributable income generated by exempt operations upon approval of the full year financial statements; (ii) at least 50% of the capital gains generated by the sale of rental properties, interests in SIIQs or SIINQs, as well as in qualified real estate investment funds within two years of their realization.
The main characteristic of the special regime is, therefore, the possibility of benefitting from a specific system of taxation, once certain mandatory qualifications are complied with, based on which earnings are subject to taxation solely upon distribution to shareholders which basically inverts the system of taxation based on which income is subject to taxation when posted by the company rather than when distributed.
The current requirements for eligibility under the special regime can be summarized as follows:
> Must be a joint stock company;
> Must reside in Italy for tax purposes or, with regard to companies with stable real estate businesses in Italy, in one of the countries, member of the European Union and party to the agreement to create a single European economic zone as indicated in the list appended to the decree issued by the Ministry of Treasury and Finance as per paragraph 1 of Art. 168-bis of the Uniform Income Tax Act;
> Shares must be traded on a regulated market.
The corporate bylaws must include:
> Rules which regulate investments;
> Limits on the concentration of investment and counterparty risk;
> Limits on the maximum financial leverage allowed.
> Freehold rental properties or other properties, interests in other SIIQ/SIINQ, in SICAF and in "qualified" real estate funds must make up 80% of the real estate assets, the so-called "Asset Test";
> Revenue from rental activities, income from SIIQ/SIINQ, SICAF and "qualified" real estate funds, gains on rental properties must make up must total at least 80% of the positive entries in the income statement, the so-called "Profit Test".
> The failure to comply with one of the most important conditions for 3 consecutive years will result in ineligibility under the special regime and the ordinary rules and regulations will be applied beginning as of the second of the three years considered.
> A single shareholder may not hold more than 60% of the voting rights exercisable in ordinary Shareholders' Meetings and more than 60% of the dividend rights, the so-called "Control limit";
> At least 25% of the float must be held by shareholders who, at the time the option is exercised, hold less than 2% of the voting rights exercisable in ordinary Shareholders' Meetings and less than 2% of the dividend rights, the so-called "Float requisite". This requisite is not applicable to companies that are already listed.
Founding Law the subjective and statutory requirements must be met before the option is exercised while the verification of the objective and ownership requirements is done after the close of the financial statements for the year in which the option was exercised, and subsequently verified after the close of every year. subsidiaries, more than 30% of its assets in a single property with urban and functional characteristics. With regard to the limits on the concentration of investment and counterparty risk, it is expressly provided in Art. 4.3 lett. ii) of the Company's bylaws that: "income from a single tenant or from tenants belonging to a single group may not exceed 60 percent of total rental income".
As for the ownership requirements, based on the information available to the company, no single shareholder holds more than 60% of the voting rights exercisable in ordinary Shareholders' Meetings and more than 60% of the dividend rights.
With regard to the Statutory requirements, please note the following.
The subjective requirements were satisfied as IGD SIIQ SPA is a joint stock company, with headquarters and residing, for tax purposes, in Italy. Its shares are traded on the Mercato Telematico Azionario (MTA - screen-based stock market) managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. in the STAR segment. Company's bylaws that: "the maximum permitted financial leverage, at a company or group level, is 85 percent of equity". Financial leverage, either at the group or company level, never exceeded 85% of equity.
Based on the parent company's financial statements at 31 December 2023, similar to year-end 2022, the objective requirements were all satisfied. The asset test, based on which the value of freehold rental properties must represent more than 80% of the total value of the real estate assets, and the profit test, based on which revenues from the rental of freehold properties or other property rights rental activities must total at least 80% of the positive entries in the income statement, were satisfied. > Other information relating to the company's adherence to the special regime Once it was clear that all the requisites had been satisfied, IGD exercised the option to be treated under the special regime effective 1 January 2008. Under the special regime the total capital gains, net any losses, resulting from the difference between the normal
The Company did not invest, either directly or through its
The income from a single tenant or tenants belonging to a single group did not exceed 60% of total rental income. With regard to limits on the maximum financial leverage permitted, it is expressly provided in Art. 4.3 lett. iii) of the
With regard to investments, it is expressly provided in Art. 4.3 lett. i) of the Company's bylaws that: "the Company shall not, either directly or through its subsidiaries, invest more than 30 percent of its assets in a single property with urban and functional characteristics, except in the case of development plans covered by a single planning scheme, where portions of the property are covered by individual, functionally independent building permits, or equipped with urban works that are sufficient to guarantee connection to public services"; total dividend of €33,102,570.90, taken from: > For €16,259,872.48, the retained earnings from exempt operations; > For €6,578,584.26, other reserves for distributable income generated by exempt operations; > For €10,264,114.16, other distributable reserves for exempt operations released in 2021 following the disposal of 5 hypermarkets and 1 supermarket.
value of the rental assets and the value for tax purposes at the end of the fiscal year, are subject to IRES (corporate income tax) and IRAP (regional business tax) at a tax rate of 20 per cent (the Entry Tax).
With regard to 2022, as resolved in previous years, during the AGM held on 13 April 2023 shareholders approved the distribution of income generated by exempt operations for an amount that complied with the distribution requirements.
More in detail, shareholders approved the distribution of a
During the year IGD worked in various areas related to organization and human resources, to equip itself with tools and processes for organizational and personnel management and development, with a view to supporting company strategies for growth and consolidation in the market consistently with the improvement actions identified through the 2022 climate survey. These actions are described below:
a) In late January 2023, in partnership with Willis Towers Watson (WTW), IGD began to analyze the company's salary levels in relation to the content and complexity of assigned responsibilities. The aim of this two-step "Project People" is to ensure internal salary consistency and competitiveness in the external market. The project aims to promote a better perception of clarity in terms of mutual expectations, greater recognition of individual contributions and the importance of assigned responsibilities, and an increased ability to benchmark against the external salary market at all stages of the company-person relationship (from recruiting/onboarding to managing individual salary paths).
The main deliverables of the first phase were as follows:
> Job leveling – using WTW's Global Grading System methodology, each role/position was assigned a weight within the organization;
> Benchmarking – each role/position was benchmarked against the external salary market.
The project centered on updating the format and content of the job descriptions of all IGD, IGD Service, and Porta Medicea employees and sharing the new job descriptions with each individual. Finally, a salary review took place based on the results of the salary analysis.
The second step of "Project People," redefining the performance management process, began in the second half of 2023. The aims of this phase were to reorganize the process through a competence-based approach in order to develop a culture of continuous improvement, make the performance evaluation process more objective by providing evaluation tools to managers, and foster the creation of a feedback culture.
The process engaged Management and the entire workforce through a virtual focus group, with the aim of incorporating behavioral grading into the new Competency Model within the first half of 2024.
b) Within the IT project, the new payroll management system was implemented for attendance tracking and payroll processing, a service previously outsourced by the parent company. The new payroll system has digitized some additional phases of HR administration, making information more accessible to employees and to supervisors for the management of their teams.
c) IGD continued to fine-tune the allocation of resources, by hiring a new shopping center manager for the opening of "Officine Storiche," restoring the "Head of Leasing" position, and expanding the Credit Management and Property & Pilotage units.
d) Personnel turnover was managed by updating or redefining profiles during the recruitment phase and fostering the development of internal resources, where appropriate. Recruitment processes initiated the previous year were finalized, and solutions – sometimes internal – were found for vacancies created during the year.
e) The existing remote working agreement for IGD SIIQ S.p.A. employees was confirmed.
f) The training and development plan was implemented, focusing on compliance (anti-corruption, H&S, privacy), hard skills (language training, refresher courses, training in the new "Time" attendance management system), and soft skills (awareness and motivation, managerial skills).
The workforce of Gruppo IGD ITALY increased by 9 heads in 2023. This is mainly because 2022 closed with several vacancies that were filled during the course of the year.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
There are three fixed-term contracts (2% of the number of permanent contracts), one higher than the previous year. The turnover rate in Italy, calculated as the number of fixed-term and permanent contracts terminated between 1 January and 31 December 2023 as compared to contracts in force at the end of the year, was 7.2% – significantly less than the previous year. Though to a lesser degree than before, the figure continues to reflect the "Great Resignation" whereby rising numbers of people throughout the labor market have left their jobs voluntarily after redefining their professional and personal goals. The workforce at Winmarkt Group Romania returned to 31 heads, where it stood in 2021. After declining for several years, the workforce has stabilized with the hiring of core positions such as branch manager, branch accountant, and senior accountant & HR. Turnover in Romania, i.e. terminations as a percentage of total employees at 31 December 2023, came to 3.2%.

IGD's Corporate Wellness Program marked its seventh year in 2023.
The Wellness Portal continued to offer a wide range of services that are reviewed and updated every year. As always, the goal is to enhance the individual wellbeing of employees and their families within the community, while having a positive impact on the organizational structure and the workplace environment.
With the exception of executives, all permanent employees are given a personal budget of the same amount (allocated proportionately to full- and part-time employees), which they can spend on benefits during the year through secured portal access.
Reimbursement packages and vouchers for courses and classes, cultural events, recreation, supplemental retirement plans, social assistance, and health insurance can be found on the portal.
Of the 133 eligible employees, 99% took advantage of the program in 2023 (one employee retired before being able to use their benefits).
The most popular benefits concerned the reimbursement of household expenses, followed by health, wellbeing and culture, while health insurance declined somewhat and supplemental retirement plans remained less popular: as the cost of living goes up, people spend proportionally more on necessities.
In this regard, since 2023 IGD has raised the value of its lunch vouchers from €5.95 to €7.50 and switched to electronic vouchers, which are also taxed more favorably for the employee. In Romania, five merit-based pay raises were granted, including in light of the commitment demonstrated by employees when evaluating the results achieved.
In 2023, all employees in Italy with permanent contracts (who have worked a minimum of six months) were assigned company and individual targets as part of the incentive system, which provides for a bonus if these targets are reached. The bonuses paid in the first half of 2023 for the achievement of targets in 2022 came to 66.84% of the amount payable, down sharply from the prior year, since just one company target was met (along with most of the individual/departmental targets). soft skills. H&S activities were front and center; the mandatory safety courses were completed for both new hires and employees with expiring credentials. Safety courses focused on: > Training of new hires;
The Company concluded its pandemic response, maintaining the rules adopted for Biosafety certification and continuing to allow vulnerable individuals to work 100% from home.
Fifty-two employees, or 38% of the workforce, underwent annual performance reviews. That number is lower than the previous year, mostly as a result of turnover, which excludes a portion of the workforce either because they are leaving or they have arrived too recently for a thorough review. > Updates for workers' safety representatives; > Fire safety updates. Courses relating to compliance focused on privacy and the anti-corruption system.
In 2023 the training offered by Gruppo IGD was focused on compliance, as well as the development of hard and
Further to the 2023 salary review (described above), 16 employees received merit-based pay raises. In addition, 14 new professional career paths were launched and 15 of those assigned in previous years or in 2023 were completed. Focus groups were also formed for the triennial survey of work-related stress. As for hard skills, in connection with the new payroll system (ADP Time), all headquarters employees were trai-
ned in how to use the system to request vacation time, remote work, and external work arrangements. Meanwhile, the HR team was trained in the time & attendance, payroll, and Core HR functions.
Everyone who attended the annual convention was able

to hear talks on the new formats for retail and digital marketing.
Finally, further training was provided to enhance specialized technical expertise, including the broader use of foreign language instruction.
IGD Service is enrolled in the CNCC Academy for Shopping Center Managers, whose first course was held in live online format, with instructional and organizational support from Università Cattolica in Milan.
As for soft skills, the Management team completed a coaching project which began with test-based assessment.
Administrative staff participated in an initiative launched in 2021 for executives and middle managers and in 2022 for junior managers. By investigating participants' learning styles, values, and motivational levers, the project aims to foster communication and collaboration within the company. Based on the results of a questionnaire, each participant was given an individual report that was then reviewed in-depth in the virtual classroom.
Training was provided in both virtual and in-person form.
In 2023, 138 employees, or 100% of the workforce, participated in at least one training course for a total of 3,111 hours (slightly fewer than the previous year) and a cost of €111,473.
The company is more committed each year to its employees' professional development, as evidenced by the 7% increase in training hours from 2022 (146 hours) to 2023 (156 hours).
Beginning in 2011 IGD, decided to embark on a structured sustainability path, aware of how important social and environmental responsibility are to healthy, lasting longterm growth. The role as both owner and manager of its assets, provides IGD with all the tools needed to make structural changes and well as apply these policies to everyday shopping center operations. The sustainability strategy is built around 5 strategic areas which, as of 2017, have been summarized in «Becoming Great»:
> GREEN: Reduce environmental impact, contributing actively to the transition toward a "low carbon" economy in the countries where it operates;
> RESPONSIBLE: Act responsibly with respect to people, both employees and shopping mall visitors;
> ETHICAL: Work in an ethical way with all the stakeholders, putting in place the safeguards necessary for compliance with the law and behaviors that positively influence the context in which it operates;
> ATTRACTIVE: Make its structures attractive, both when working on the assets and when managing the offer and the marketing activities, with a specific focus on innovation;
> TOGETHER: Act together with its stakeholders, strengthening not only the significant role of the shopping centers as local places to shop, but also the economic and social development of the communities in which it operates.
IGD's sustainability strategy became an integral part of company planning as of the 2014-2016 Business Plan and is currently part of the operational activities included in the 2022-2024 Business Plan.
The strategy reflects IGD's commitment to sustainable growth, shaped by the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the millennium development goals defined by the United Nations. The adhesion to the United Nations' Global Compact, the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative, also follows in this direction.
The foundation of IGD's sustainability strategy is comprised of the material topics based on which the company defines both the risks and the opportunities connected to the sustainable management of its business, as well as the goals to be reached over the life of the plan (2022-
The material issues lie at the foundation of the sustainability strategy. Defining and identifying these issues makes it possible for the company to focus on the real issues that need to be addressed in terms of sustainability, avoiding the use of resources (human and economic) to achieve objectives that are not material.
2024) and in the longer term (2030). The actions to implement are identified through this process and each year the Company examines the results achieved in a report based on the international standards and the standards specific to the real estate sector. There are three elements that shape the implementation of the Company's strategy: 1. Material issues. 2. Sustainability targets (connected to planning). IGD has been identifying material issues in accordance with the GRI Standards since 2017 and each year the company assesses the need for any adjustments taking into account both the business and topics pertaining to stakeholders. In 2022, following the new definition of material included in the 2021 updated GRI Standards, the Company updated its own material issues focusing on the business's impact on the environment, the economy and people. In 2023 the Company confirmed that these topics were material, after looking at both the operating backdrop and the expectations of the stakeholders. At the end of the process, the material issues identified in 2022 and confirmed in 2023 included in the 5 strategic areas:
| Green | Responsible | Ethical | Attractive | Together |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Road to zero emissions | 4. Good employment | 6. Governance, ethics and corruption |
7. Enhancement of the portfolio |

The material issues represent the cornerstones of the Sustainability strategy and its planning, as well as the topics reported on in the Sustainability Report. The risks, the relative policies and steps the Company is taking/will take over the next few years are identified for each material issue. 2.10.2 // Sustainability targets (connected to planned the progress made with respect to the Plan targets every six months and shared the results with the Board of Directors. In the first two years the Company achieved around 69% of the targets set for the three-year period. The actions taken during the year with respect to each target and the extent to which the targets were achieved are summarized below. All 41 quantitative targets for 2022-2024 and the 22 strategic targets or ambitions through 2030 can be found on the corporate website at www.gruppoigd.it/sostenibilità.
Key level of achievement of targets:

The following scale was used to determine to what extent a 2022-2024 Plan target has been achieved:
| 2 | .10 | C |
|---|---|---|
IGD monitors and manages overall risks through the Enterprise Risk Management system which takes into account both financial and non-financial risks, a few of which are tied to sustainability (like climate change, ethics, quality employment and safety). Even though the Company is not required by law to prepare a Non-Financial Statement (pursuant to Legislative Decree 254/16, in implementation of EU Directive 2014/95/EU), IGD voluntarily worked to identify the risks and opportunities connected to sustainability. Each year the company analyzes how effective the actions were in mitigating each risk and reports the results achieved in the Sustainability Report. In 2023 IGD updated the risk management model, introducing advanced quantitative models to be used to assess risk. These models are based on simulations which normal conditions and the stress tests. During the year the company worked to gradually include the environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks in the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) model. Toward this end, a step-by-step project was defined, part of which was carried out in 2023 and part of which will be developed in 2024. The first phase of the project made it possible for the Company to connect CSR risks with the ones monitored through the ERM system, which guarantees an integrated and comprehensive understanding of the company's risk management system. The path will also be pursued in 2024 when the integration will be fine-tuned and the identification and assessment of ESG risk will gradually be included in the ERM model. This comprehensive approach aims to ensure consistency and cohesion in the analysis and management of all risks, facilitating an in depth understanding of the impact and opportunities associated with the environmental, social and governance aspects of

Like-for-like (excluding the portfolio sold) the Group estimates that operating results will increase in 2024 also: Ebitda is expected to increase by around +3% against 2023, thanks to further improvement in the vacancy rate and the full year contribution of a few development projects, above all Officine Storiche. The results will be impacted negatively by the disposal of the 13 assets described in greater detail below, as well as the increase in financial expenses attributable to the new loans taken out in the last 2 years in a context of high interest rates.
For these reasons, and based on the current global market and operating environment, FFO is expected to come in at around €34 million in 2024.
The ESG risks monitored, their connection with the material issues, the policies and actions identified to mitigate them, the indicators used to monitor the efficacy of the actions undertaken and the opportunities are reported in the Sustainability Report in the "Sustainability Strategy" chapter.
The Corporate Sustainability Report provides a yearly report on both the actions taken and the socio-environmental performance achieved by the Company in the year. The data and the information in the report are subject to Limited Assurance based on ISAE 3000 procedures. The 2023 Sustainability Report can be found on the corporate website at https://www.gruppoigd.it/sostenibilita/bilancio-di-sostenibilita/archivio-bilanci/.
The operations of the IGD Group entail inherent risks that influence the Group's earnings and financial situation.
To identify and assess its business risks, IGD SIIQ S.p.A. has developed an integrated Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) system based on the COSO framework promoted by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This systematic approach makes it possible to identify priority risk areas, assess the potential negative effects in advance, and implement control mechanisms for the Company's protection.
The Company monitors the various risks in light of its strategic, operational and financial goals, as well as for compliance purposes, using a model based on Key Risk Indicators.
Key Risk Indicators play a crucial role because they signal trends, allowing Management to keep an eye on significant changes in business risks, and are therefore a valuable tool for handling potential negative impacts in a proactive and timely manner.
In 2023, improvements in the group's risk management system were focused on introducing advanced quantitative models for assessing risk. These models are based on probability simulations aiming to evaluate different confidence levels, using both normal conditions and stress tests. The risk appetite framework now incorporates quantitative parameters directly correlated with the main budget indicators, such as FFO (funds from operations) and LTV (loan to value). This set of indicators will be further expanded with the addition of ICR (interest coverage ratio), which will provide a more complete, accurate overview of the Group's risk profile.
The Group's primary risks are described below.
> Radical change in consumer habits, affecting IGD's business model based on shopping centers;
> Regulatory changes with a strong impact on business activities, which could impact the Group's revenue and the value of its assets.
Periodically the Company monitors the Italian economic situation, particularly when defining or updating the Bu-
siness Plan or annual budget. The analyses are conducted based on Italy's principal macroeconomic indicators (GDP, consumption, household income, inflation, etc.).
The Company also carries out in-depth analyses of the competition and consumer trends, in light of the changes in consumer spending and inflation. Periodically, the Commercial Division assesses the adequacy of the positioning and the offer with respect to the target, in order to take the steps needed to align commercial activities with marketing initiatives.
With regard to the shopping centers in Romania, IGD's portfolio is well spread-out throughout the country which helps to diversify the risk connected to changes in regional consumer trends.
Great attention is also paid to the tenants' results. Management monitors the positioning achieved with respect to the target positioning of each shopping center, and any changes in the merchandising mix/tenant mix (in the event of renewals, expansion and restructuring) are made consistently with the target positioning. The pricing analysis, which takes the target margin into account, is monitored based on the market and retail trends. The steps taken to support the retailers and any operational changes are shared with the Commercial Division, and are subject to Management's approval within the confines of the budget. affect IGD's business have emerged. The Company deveand international trade organizations in order to increamarket. 2.12.1.3 Socio-political risk Risk factors: > Domestic/international political crises; > Regulatory changes with a strong impact on the laws applicable to the Company.
Looking at changing consumer trends, the Company also carefully analyzes the merchandising mix in order to understand the relationship between traditional retailers and services that cannot be replicated by e-commerce. There is a particular emphasis on introducing both destination stores and merchandise that is in line with market trends, in order to preserve the appeal of each shopping center within its catchment area. With regard to both the Italian and the Romanian market, Management monitors the national and international socio-political situation by analyzing political stability indicators, as well as any regulatory changes that could impact the Company's compliance, including with the support of specialized consultants.
The Company constantly analyzes changes in the level of consumer spending and inflation rates through market studies, including those of specialized professionals. Management monitors the country's market conditions by looking at economic and financial stability indicators.
With regard to the Romanian market, Management constantly monitors the country's economic performance, checking the main economic stability indicators such as exchange rates and the status of the European aid programs, in order to make sure no critical areas that could lops and maintains relationships with the Italian business and financial community, with institutions and national se the flow of information and understanding of the local
Winmarkt's Commercial Division periodically monitors the status of the competition in the regions near its shopping centers; the Company responds to market threats by carrying out extraordinary maintenance, marketing initiatives and advertising campaigns aiming to increase the shopping centers' appeal and better meet customers' needs. Risk factors: > Radical change in end-consumer habits with a growing preference for online shopping, which impacts IGD's business tied to the shopping center model. > Risk management
The Company develops and maintains relationships with institutions and national and international trade organizations in order to increase the flow of information and understanding of the local market.
The Marketing Department periodically monitors and analyzes the Company's and the sector's data vis-a-vis e-commerce trends: up until now the sectors most impacted by online competitors are tourism (travel organization, specifically) and services.
The Company participates in working groups and commissions of the national association of shopping centers (CNCC or Consiglio Nazionale dei Centri Commerciali) which provides the Company with an opportunity to analyze any findings and discuss the controls in place with its peers.
The Company's current strategy focuses on two key aspects: the analysis and continuous fine tuning of the merchandising mix in order to introduce activities that cannot be substituted (e.g. restaurants and personal services) and the remodeling/renewal of shopping center space; and the increasing integration between "online and offline," making shopping centers multichannel spaces with personalized communication and visitor offerings including by using the tools developed in the Digital Marketing Plan.
Risk factors:
> Failed/unclear definition of the Company's financial strategy, resulting in delays in debt refinancing which could affect the ability to access the best sources of funding and maintain an investment-grade rating.
The Company's financial strategy calls for rigorous financial discipline, consistent with its investment grade profile. It aims to improve its LTV and liquidity position by maintaining a significant portion of medium/long-term debt which typically accounts for more than 90% of the total debt. The Company uses different sources of funding and looks for the best conditions available on the capital markets, while also working to expand the investor base. Today the Company is rated by two agencies which have issued the following ratings: S&P BB with a stable outlook and Fitch BBB- with a stable outlook. The ratings reflect a significant decrease in liquidity risk for the next 12-18 months, thanks to the extension of the maturities calendar and the completion of the exchange offer for the bond maturing in November 2024.
> The shopping centers' positioning fails to attract the target customers found in the catchment area;
> The merchandising mix does not meet the needs of the customers in the catchment area;
> The tenant mix does not meet the needs of the customers in the catchment area.
The commercial planning activities are defined by the Commercial Division based on the positioning goals which aim to mitigate the risk that the tenant mix and merchandising mix do not meet the customers' needs.
The Company constantly monitors, including through the use of the updated internal sales data, the tenants' sales and the vacancy rates. All of the commercial choices made respect the policy defined by the Commercial Division and any atypical allocation of the space must be approved by the Commercial Division. Toward this end, the Commercial Division meets periodically in order to coordinate and monitor the steps taken within the region. A tenant mix that meets qualitative standards is defined based on an assessment of the shopping center's location and a survey conducted, including with the support of specialized professionals, of the center's intrinsic characteristics and an evaluation of the region. The Company has strengthened its data gathering and processing capacity by opening a Marketing Unit that includes the marketing analyst position. The work it performs assures a more detailed flow of information and the possibility for targeted commercial policies on different levels: shopping center, tenant, and merchandise category. On a rotating basis, the Company also performs tenant analyses and customer surveys through questionnaires conducted by phone and directly at the shopping centers, in order to gauge customers' satisfaction with the services offered by the center and the events organized there.
In the Romanian market, Management carefully evaluates the tenant mix, focusing on the shopping center's geographical location and placing special emphasis on the regional/local identity of the retailer portfolio. It also considers the food- and non-food anchors and makes sure they are consistent and compatible with the overall strategy.
It benchmarks performance and footfalls against competitors, and constantly monitors market trends (market potential and newcomers) thanks in part to an extensive presence throughout the country. The Company constantly monitors developments in the merchandising mix and the tenant mix through ad hoc monthly reports that analyze the main performance indicators (market rent, occupancy, merchandising mix, tenant mix, weight of the international, national and local retailers, etc.). Strategically, it plans to convert the higher, less attractive floors into space for offices or service providers, in order to maximize rents and negotiate longer term leases.
Risk factors:
> Crisis among hypermarket retailers which could affect the large-space occupancy of shopping centers, their appeal to customers, and the Company's revenue.
The Company constantly monitors the performance of its shopping center tenants and, where necessary, remaps mall space or adjusts rent to make it more sustainable over time, sometimes in conjunction with a decrease in the size of hypermarkets. The Commercial Division has defined a synergistic commercial strategy by which hypermarkets and malls work more closely together on marketing and management, with a view to improving the customer experience. When evaluating tenants, the Company considers mitigating factors like the ability to attract customers through offerings more in line with market trends.
For some years now it has also been adding new services and innovative activities tied to food & beverage and entertainment, interpreting the latest trends in the retail market.

Risk factors:
In 2023, IGD worked on an existing long-term project to adapt the marketing strategies of shopping centers to the growing opportunities offered by digital tools, with the aim of bringing visitors into closer contact. This effort has
Below is a list of the most significant actions taken by the Group as part of its risk response strategy: Through the gradual implementation of the Digital Plan, the aim is to make the experience more personalized and thus enhance the mall's appeal. This will be possible thanks to the cooperation of tenants and the ability to identify and offer services that are tailored to visitors' needs.
taken the form of IGD's first Digital Plan, developed after the hiring of a digital specialist in 2019. From the outset, the specialist set to work finding the most appropriate strategies for promoting the digitalization of the Group's shopping centers.
> Rent adjustments for 13 hypermarkets with a view to making them more sustainable over time, in conjunction with a synergistic commercial strategy by which the hypermarket and the mall will work more closely together on marketing and management for the sake of a better customer experience; changes in market contexts. The milestones achieved thus far are summarized below:
The Digital Plan is focused on defining actions and services that will encourage loyalty and a personalized experience. To reach those goals, it emphasizes the creation of a system for lead generation, profiling, and interaction with the target, made up of two main components: tenants and visitors/users. To meet the needs of both, IGD has come up with a range of targeted actions and services.
> Where possible, the creation of shop-in-shops at hypermarkets that have not been resized, in order to boost profitability and especially the range of specialties on offer; > An expansion of the online order and pick-up service using the former stockrooms of the hypermarkets that are > A customer relationship management (CRM) system, connected with physical and digital touchpoints (information panels at the mall, wi-fi system, events, website, and the online "Area Plus"), used to manage communications with visitors;
The Plan was rolled out in the first half of 2021, with the implementation of a customer relationship management (CRM) system at shopping centers. To generate contacts and detailed profiles, actions were taken involving the different touchpoints that characterize the online and offline customer journey.
The Digital Plan marks the beginning of a journey toward omnichannel integration, developed in phases based on the results achieved, the response from the target, and
> All-new websites, with improved graphics and structuring for a better user experience;
> The new Area Plus reserved section for website visitors, with products, content, services, special offers, and gaming events;
> The use of social networks (Facebook and Instagram) to promote goods on sale at the shopping center (through influencer marketing programs) and increase drive-to-store occasions (with special offers).
2.12.1.9 Corporate social responsibility risk Risk factors:
The Company has developed an acronym ("GREAT") which reflects IGD's vision of sustainability and, at the same time, presents the material issues identified as a group. "GREAT" summarizes the Company's commitment to constant growth and stands for Green, Responsible, Ethical, Attractive, Together.
In 2022 the Group invested more than €2.4 million in improving the environmental sustainability of its structures in Italy (more than €3 million including Romania). In addition to structural improvements, the Company worked to raise shoppers', suppliers' and tenants' awareness of sustainability issues.
The Company is also committed to promoting quality employment for its employees, including through training and the continuous development of their expertise, and strives to work ethically through an effective governance system which reflects the best practices for listed companies, in line with the Corporate Governance Code approved by Borsa Italiana's Corporate Governance Committee.
Lastly, the Company works to make its shopping centers even more attractive though continuous enhancement of the malls' interiors and exteriors, and is engaged in a continuous dialogue with its stakeholders in order to understand their needs and expectations and assess their satisfaction with decisions made and actions taken.
Risk factors:
> Inability of tenants to carry on their retail businesses and remain solvent.
During the Covid-19 crisis, IGD took actions consistent with its sustainability policies in order to address the impact of the pandemic. For tenants, support initiatives included one-off changes to billing and payment deadlines, as well as temporary rent reductions. To keep shopping centers in operation, cleaning, sanitization and supervision efforts were intensified and a communication campaign was launched to explain and support preventive behaviors. In October 2021 IGD obtained BIOSAFETY TRUST CERTIFI-CATION for seven shopping centers and the headquarters in Bologna; it plans to have 100% of its assets certified by 2024. IGD adopted "flexible work" arrangements for all headquarters personnel, leaving the shopping centers minimally staffed. From a financial standpoint, the Company responded to the crisis with actions such as revising investments and streamlining non-essential operating costs. Finally, its "Moving Forward" Plan lays out targets and actions for the future.
During the 2023 risk assessment procedure, given the current state of the pandemic and the remote chance of new closures, the Company decided to reduce the likelihood of occurrence of this event. However, the risk is monitored constantly for the sake of preparedness in case of new outbreaks.
Risk factors:
Given the type of business and its unique portfolio, the Company has taken out an all-risks policy with a major insurer that provides annual coverage to each shopping center.
IGD is committed to investing in the maintenance and quality of its properties. When renewing the insurance for its buildings, the Company has added and/or changed coverage as needed. In case of damages, a dedicated appraiser is assigned to represent the Company in the damage inspection process and ensure faster settlement of claims. The Company also developed a procedure for the updating and monitoring of outstanding claims on a quarterly basis.
In light of the growing concern about earthquakes as a result of the recent occurrences in Italy, the Company is looking more closely at potential risk factors and assessing whether changes should be made to safety mechanisms and insurance coverage. In the last few years, IGD has also negotiated further changes to the all-risks policy, increasing the amount insured for various types of events deemed the most likely to occur and to cause the most significant damage.
Catastrophic risk is an extremely important topic for the Group, especially in light of the floods that struck the Romagna region. Well aware of the size of such risks, in 2023 the Company raised the maximum benefits and coverage against catastrophic events.
Risk factors:
The Company assesses potential clients for risk factors, including with the help of specialized consultants. To ensure they meet contractual commitments, it requires all tenants to post guarantees and/or security deposits. Throughout the lease relationship, the Company constantly monitors their satisfaction of the lease terms and conditions and intervenes according to internal procedures in case of noncompliance. In exceptional situations, especially for reliable tenants, the Company may adopt temporary relief measures. A system involving monthly analyses and daily monitoring is used to judge the credit situation of existing tenants and the creditworthiness of new ones. This system makes it possible to conduct solvency tests for new tenants and monitor the risks associated with existing contracts over time, by sending automatic alerts if a tenant's credit rating declines.
> Risk management Tenants go through a pre-contractual selection process, based on financial soundness, P&L forecasts and the earnings prospects of their business. The Asset Management, Development and Network Management Division, working with the Commercial, Marketing and CSR Division, has initiated a process by which the consortiums will control their own invoicing of costs. Specifically, they will be converted from operating consortiums into ownership consortiums so they can directly manage both costs and rent, thereby exercising greater control over the credit positions of tenants.
With regard to condominium fees, the consortia monitor their payment over the life of the lease and if any anomalies are found, the internal credit management procedures are applied.
More specifically, the client payment schedules and credit positions are updated constantly. For the administrative management service, the consortia have hired IGD Service, which in turn has outsourced it to third parties. From those companies IGD Service receives a periodic report on tenants' credit positions, and decides on the appropriate course of action in case of problems.
The Company has fostered an ongoing relationship between the Asset Management, Development and Network Management Division and the Administration, Legal and Corporate Affairs, Contracts, HR and IT Division in order to define a shared credit management strategy.
The Commercial Division works closely with the Legal and Corporate Affairs Division, the Leasing Division and the Credit Management department and also prepares periodic reports on credit collection for Management and the control bodies. The policy for credit losses provides for ample allowances (around 72% for doubtful accounts and 83% for problem credits); the allowances are updated each quarter. Regarding business operations in Romania, it is essential to note that under Romanian law, the owner is entitled to take back a leased space immediately if the lessor is in breach of contract, and can also take legal action against the lessor. Winmarkt uses standard contracts that include clauses related to credit risk, interest on late payments and penalties, and requires every tenant to post guarantees in the form of sureties or security deposits. The credit writedown policy provides for 100% coverage of receivables more than 60 days old, unless there are signed agreements. Customers are rated following standard company practice, considering their commercial skills, the opinions of the shareholders, and information from the Chamber of Commerce in the case of national tenants. For local tenants, the crucial factors are the commercial skills of the individual shopping center managers. A formal procedure has been implemented to monitor and mitigate this risk. Winmarkt constantly monitors its tenants' credit quality by assessing the sustainability of rent with respect to their revenue. The positioning strategy prioritizes international retailers with a better credit standing than national and local tenants.
Risk factors:
Exogenous risk is constantly monitored by the Asset Management, Development and Network Management Division.
The location of shopping centers throughout the country reduces the exposure to risks from regional phenomena.
The analysis of sales data and the observation of commercial trends, the performance of credit positions, renegotiations and footfalls, and the support of external appraisers when valuing assets are all useful to Management for capturing any signs of a downturn in the commercial real estate market. To value its properties, the Company selects independent appraisers who are specialists in the field. Assets are valued twice a year; however, in order to monitor the valuation process, the Company may request a comparative appraisal from other independent specialists.
Periodically the Company runs sensitivity analyses on its largest assets, to assess and anticipate the potential impact of changes in the key economic variables used to value the properties (discount rate, capitalization rate, revenue). In addition, to improve control of the asset valuation process and make sure properties are appraised on a rotating basis, the Company has hired independent experts to appraise a portion of the real estate portfolio. The Planning and Control Department reviews the appraisals, checks them for errors and reconstructs the discounted cash flow. The financial statements present the sensitivity analysis of the main variables (increase and decrease in exit rates), while for preparation of the forecast/ budget/business plan, an assumption is made about the assets' expected value.
To reinforce the response strategy in case of an incorrect valuation of assets, the Company has also adopted a new procedure governing the asset valuation process, the responsibilities of IGD and the appraisers, and the controls to be implemented to mitigate the risk of faulty valuation.
Risk factors:
> Problems managing the contractual relationship with tenants;
> Increased costs or loss of income.
The Company oversees relationships with its tenants through the constant monitoring of any contractual breaches or violations and through the regional supervision of the Commercial Division. Every tenant is subject to pre-contractual selection based on financial solidity, the economic prospects of its business and credit history. Guarantees in the form of sureties and security deposits, typically equal to 6 (six) months' rent, are also typically requested before the lease is signed.
The Company uses standard rent/lease agreements that may be revised or amended based on the conditions agreed upon with the tenant; if need be, the Company may avail itself of outside consultants to define unusual contractual clauses.
In the annual budget the Company has made provisions for risk mitigation tools (temporary discounts, co-marketing actions) and has strengthened its organizational structure with a Credit Management Department.
In Romania, contract management is closely monitored through a steady relationship with tenants, handled by local management, in particular through the commercial department. Before renegotiating a contract, Management looks at the rent as a percentage of the tenant's revenue. Any contractual change requires the approval of the Commercial Director, the COO or the Board of Directors, depending on the authorization limits set by the shareholders' meeting. The existence of a centralized Leasing Division, with a unit covering the Romanian market, provides constant supervision of this risk.
Winmarkt has a diverse tenant portfolio that includes local, national and international retailers. The company continues to strengthen its relationships with tenants with the best credit standing, through contract management policies designed to extend the lease duration, add stricter clauses and prolong the lock-in period. From a legal and regulatory standpoint, there is more flexibility for the renewal or termination of contracts.
Risk factors:
> Failure to reach the level of occupancy expected at the shopping centers which could impact appeal and profitability.
The Company controls vacancy risk through promotional activities and incentive schemes involving current and potential tenants.
The commercial team is comprised of highly experienced industry professionals who work to achieve the Group's objectives in terms of revenue and occupancy.
IGD works intensively in partnership with the tenants in order to ensure optimal occupancy, including through investments in promotional activities and launches. of external agencies specialized in entertainment and other businesses.
To encourage the presence of high-appeal anchor stores that help maintain occupancy within the mall, the Company makes a fit-out contribution to help set up these stores.
Regarding the Romanian market, it is important to understand that some specific characteristics of the Winmarkt portfolio inform its occupancy strategy.
Monitoring the occupancy of the different shopping centers and determining any steps that need to be taken are part of the daily asset management activities. The Company invests constantly in capex with a view to increasing the quality and appeal of the properties, including by changing internal layouts, thereby adapting to changing market needs or economic conditions. It carries out ongoing restyling (including non-prime) in order to maintain a high degree of appeal. Great attention is paid to the analysis and monitoring of the mall tenants' performance: each month the Commercial, Marketing and CSR Division reports on the sales of the retailers' in IGD's shopping centers. In order to bolster stores' bottom lines, where necessary, temporary discounts on rent are allowed which helps to preserve occupancy. In some cases, when a new store is opened, tenants are assisted during the start-up phase by offering them step rent that does not reach the standard amount until the third year of the lease. pancy rate, merchandising mix and sales. 2.12.2.6 Information technology risk Risk factors: > Problems connected with the correct functioning of the IT systems supporting the company's operations. > Risk management In 2021 the Company began to insource IT services. The project developed through the creation and deployment of a new ERP/EPM software, the update of complementary third-party platforms (financing and leases) and the insourcing of HCM and IT security services. At that time, the Company hired an IT Manager with lengthy experience in similar roles at multinational com-
The commercial strategy is to achieve full occupancy of the properties (by offering lower rents on the upper floors), getting as much leverage as possible from the appeal of the anchor stores (food and fashion).
Marketing is conducted at the individual shopping center level, with the aim of attracting shoppers to support small local retailers.
The Group has introduced a control panel that monitors the business strategy by way of budget indicators, occu-
The shopping centers, located in the heart of downtown (near city hall or the main cathedral), are akin to department stores with a vertical (multi-floor) layout. This carries the risk of tenant turnover and, consequently, a higher vacancy rate on the less prestigious upper floors (3rd, 4th and 5th). > Delays, problems and/or contractual non-compliance by construction companies commissioned by the Group; > Delays, problems and/or contractual non-compliance by sellers of finished "turnkey" shopping centers; > Delays, problems and/or contractual non-compliance by suppliers, including breach of professional responsibilities.
Tenant turnover is generally high, especially on the upper floors. The less prestigious floors are currently being converted for uses complementary to retail, with the support When selecting professionals, contractors, construction companies, external consultants and appraisers, the Company checks the financial and professional solidity of the potential provider in order to reduce the risk of any counterparty non-compliance and/or default in accordance with internal procedures. Pursuant, furthermore, to the
panies, supported by internal personnel who previously provided tech support and interfaced with the external provider.
On 1 January 2022 the Company set up an IT Unit under the Administration, Legal and Corporate Affairs, Contracts, HR and IT Division.
Risk factors:
Anticorruption Policy (UNI ISO 37001:2016) and the Due Diligence Procedure adopted by the Company, all third parties (both contractors and contractees) undergo screening/due diligence.
The contractual terms applied contain a set of customer guarantee clauses (i.e. penalties for delays and for failure to provide the services as promised).
The Division involved monitors the time it takes to complete the work and/or provide services, and carefully monitors compliance with the qualitative standards agreed upon, over the life of the contractual relationship.
Each Division selects its own supplier and approves payment of the corresponding invoice, according to the rules established in the purchasing procedure. In accordance with the Anticorruption Policy (UNI ISO 37001:2016) and the Due Diligence Procedure adopted by the Group, all third parties (both contractors and contractees) undergo screening/due diligence.
With regard specifically to the building of shopping centers by construction companies and sub-contractors, the work done is supervised by an internal resource and a consultant who each week/every two weeks prepare a report on the progress made at the construction site.
As for the purchase of finished "turnkey" shopping centers, the Company requires the seller to provide a bank guarantee for the down payment and any further deposits made.
Through the Supervisory Board and the Risk and Control Committee, the Company audits the purchase of goods and services and construction work every quarter.
Risk factors:
> Fines for the violation of tax laws;
> Loss of the earnings and financial requisites necessary to maintain SIIQ status.
The Company, which was granted SIIQ status in 2008, has since then carefully monitored the associated tax risks; transactions affecting the chosen tax regime directly or indirectly are reviewed with support from the Administration, Legal and Corporate Affairs, Contracts, HR and IT Division, which constantly monitors any legislative changes and the internal administrative, accounting and tax procedures with assistance from an internal resource assigned to this task.
More specifically, separate accounts are kept for taxable operations and exempt operations; every six months, and more often in advance of corporate finance transactions, the Division conducts asset and profit tests in order to monitor tax compliance at the present moment and on a forward-looking basis. The results of the tests are shared with management. In addition, the financial statement disclosures and tax returns are reviewed by a leading tax advisory business.
For any problems relating to new transactions, it is good practice for the Company to ask for support from the external auditing firm.
In the past, the firm received inspection notices for Igd Management, Igd Property and Punta di Ferro, resulting in no significant findings.
The Company has also undergone an inspection concerning registration tax for the acquisition of the ECP portfolio, which was closed without any findings of note.
> Fines for the violation of data protection and privacy laws.
The Data Protection Officer (DPO), with support from an internal legal team, is responsible for supervising GDPR compliance in terms of Company records (privacy organizational chart, appointments and authorizations) and contracts.
IGD has granted an annual assignment to an external IT law consultant who assists the DPO with GDPR assessment and compliance. The DPO in Italy is the Head of Legal Affairs, while in Romania, where the organization is much smaller, there is no such position.
Since 2018, when the GDPR took effect, training in this area is provided to all white collar employees, junior managers and managers, and regular audits are carried out and reported on each year when the Board of Directors meets to approve the half-year financial statements.
Risk factors:
> Corporate liability for crimes pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/01.
required to comply and ensure compliance with it when performing their duties.
The Company has adopted the "Model for organization, management and control" ("MOG") pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/01 ("Decree"), defining the guidelines, rules, standards of conduct and governance for the Company's activities, which apply to all recipients with a view to preventing the crimes falling under the Decree. As an integral part of the MOG, the Company has also adopted a Code of Conduct applicable to everyone who works for or with the Group, without exception, who are As required of listed companies, IGD has established an Investor Relations department. Information is therefore managed by two units: Investor Relations, responsible for the relationship with Borsa Italia, and the Legal and Corporate Affairs Department, which handles the relationship with CONSOB. Any CONSOB investigation is managed by the Legal and Corporate Affairs Department with support from external consultants. The division works closely with the Chief Executive Officer and in compliance with internal and external regulations governing market abuse.
Toward this end, the Supervisory Board, instituted in accordance with the Decree, carries out its control and supervisory duties with the support of a specialized consultant in order to monitor compliance with the Company's protocols and procedures, as well as the functioning of and compliance with the MOG. CEO depending on their significance. In addition, the Company has prepared a timetable for the periodic shareholder meetings that are required for approval of the financial statements and in case of extraordinary operations.
The Supervisory Board keeps the MOG fully up-to-date to ensure that it complies with the law and that it adequately reflects the Group's organizational and business structure. With the enactment of EU Regulation 596/2014 ("MAR"), the Company adopted a market procedure for the management, handling and public disclosure of confidential and price sensitive information and set up an Insider Registry.
Risk Factors:
> Fines, reprimands and citations from the market management and supervisory authorities.
Since 2014, when corruption between private parties was added to the Decree, the absence of conflicts of interest within top management is verified every year. In 2018, after the whistleblowing law (Law 179 of 30 September 2017) took effect, the MOG was updated and the Company set up an anonymous whistleblowing platform accessible to both internal and external parties via the home page of the Company's website. IGD follows the 2020 version of Borsa Italiana's Corporate Governance Code, prepared by the Corporate Governance Committee. It stays fully abreast of any regulatory changes and their possible implications for compliance. 2.12.3.5 Financial reporting risk
Communications are reviewed by management and the
In 2020 the Company obtained ISO 37001 "Anti-Bribery Management Systems" certification, which defines the requisites for anti-bribery/anti-corruption systems. The certification was issued by RINA Services S.p.A., an independent certifier accredited by Accredia (the government-appointed national accrediting entity for certifications and inspections) and the Italian leader in compliance certification. In 2020 the MOG underwent extensive revision and was integrated with the UNI ISO 37001:2016 Anti-Bribery System already implemented by the Company. > Fines for violation of the Financial Reporting Officer's responsibilities pursuant to Law 262/05. > Risk management The Company, in accordance with Legislative Decree 262 of 28 December 2005 (Savings Act), has adopted administrative and accounting control procedures related to financial disclosures in order to (i) ascertain whether the current Internal Control System provides reasonable certainty that the information represented in the financial statements is accurate and reliable; (ii) implement suitable administrative and accounting procedures to be

used in drafting the separate and consolidated financial statements, as well as any other financial disclosures (in accordance with Law 262/2005); (iii) ensure compliance with the administrative and accounting procedures during the period to which the above documents refer.
The implementation of Internal Control System under Legislative Decree 262/05 is coordinated and monitored by internal resources as instructed by and under the supervision of the Financial Reporting Officer appointed by the Board of Directors in accordance with the law; verifications are carried out by Internal Audit.
The administrative-accounting system adopted pursuant to L.262/05 is monitored periodically in order to make sure the risk controls implemented as per risk assessments are effectively applied and updated in light of activities carried out by the Administration, Corporate and Legal Affairs, Contracts, HR, and IT Division.
The Company uses a model for risk assessment and management of the administrative system used for financial reporting, and regularly updates this model. Each year the Company tests the adequacy and effective application of the administrative-accounting processes and subprocesses. The Company has also drawn up a manual for the Financial Reporting Officer and updated all administrative-accounting procedures, specifically those that impact reporting. The findings that emerge during "Law 262 Testing" are analyzed periodically by the control bodies and the Board of Directors. The Company works constantly to make any recommended changes in order to continuously improve the administrative-accounting activities.
Note that the implementation of the new Microsoft ERP system will allow strengthen financial reporting controls; furthermore, with support from an external consultant, the Company has begun to revise its entire library of procedures to incorporate the impact of the ERP system on existing processes.
> Problems with treasury management and accessing funds.
Liquidity is monitored through cash flow planning, and risk is mitigated by the Company's extensive credit lines, committed and uncommitted.
The Finance Division uses a financial forecasting tool to monitor expected cash flows over a one-quarter rolling horizon and makes sure there is enough liquidity to operate the business, while establishing the proper ratio of bank borrowings to capital market debt.
With regard to medium/long term debt, the Group finances its operations using: (i) medium/long-term floating rate mortgages and unsecured loans, and (ii) fixed-rate bond loans. Medium/long-term borrowings may contain covenants; these are monitored constantly by the chief financial officer, who also coordinates with management using the enterprise risk management system to gauge the likelihood of violating the covenants as a result of strategic, operational, compliance and financial risks.
Financial commitments are covered by confirmed bank funding and available committed and uncommitted credit lines.
Liquidity risk is managed prudently to avoid incurring excessive costs in the case of unforeseen events, which could have a further negative impact on the Company's market reputation and financial viability.
The Company is equipped with tools to i) analyze and measure interest rate risk, ii) gather data and information relative to contracts entered into for the management of interest rate risk, iii) develop a single risk assessment and management model, and iv) identify and measure financial risks taking into account:
a) Fair value;
All information pertinent to cash management and funding is managed by a single department. The planning and control figures from the business plan are also integrated with financial data provided by the Finance and Treasury Division.
Risk factors:
> Interest rate volatility that could impact the financing of operations and the use of available liquidity.
The Group finances its operations through short-term borrowings, long-term secured and unsecured loans charging adjustable interest, and fixed-interest bonds, so it determines its risk of increased financial charges if interest rates go up or if it refinances debt at higher rates.
To date all the refinancing that the Company is considering would be at higher interest rates than in the past,
The Finance department analyzes and measures interest rate and liquidity risk while constantly evaluating the best means of implementation of the risk management model, and conducts routine scouting activities to find opportunities to reduce the cost of debt through banks and/ or the capital markets. The Company is currently rated by two agencies that have assigned the following ratings: S&P BB with a stable outlook and Fitch BBB- with a stable outlook.
while also entailing greater risk. The Finance and Treasury Division monitors interest rate risk constantly, in coordination with top management. Over the years the Company has gradually increased its interest rate hedges and reduced LTV. The Finance Division monitors trends in the main economic and financial indicators that may affect the Group's performance. Currently IGD mitigates this risk through constant efforts to optimize the merchandising mix and tenant mix and by sustaining the value of the real estate portfolio, in part by making improvements. Periodic meetings are held to coordinate and monitor the credit situation of individual malls and tenants and determine if any action is needed. On a regular basis, the Company monitors the rent as a percentage of the tenant's sales. Commercial policies are determined with care and with the utmost attention to local consumption styles and market demands.
assessed by the two rating agencies, as it recognizes the crucial importance that ratings play in protecting the Group's financial credibility and building confidence on the part of stakeholders. This area of risk is mitigated by periodic monitoring in the context of the ERM process. Risk factors: > Fluctuations in the value of the Romanian RON,
To manage this risk, the Company has entered into interest rate swap (IRS) agreements and, in light of the yield curve, considers other forms of hedging like caps and collars which allow it to cover about 80% (at 31 December 2023) of its interest rate risk on medium/long-term loans, including bonds. Management views coverage of around 80% to be adequate. To that end, the Group employs a specialized team made up of head office and local professionals, to seek the right trade-off between the expertise acquired at the corporate level and knowledge of the local context. 2.12.5 // Other risks
which could result in the portfolio being written down and the default of Romanian retailers whose rent is denominated in EUR but paid in the local currency.
Rent for retailers in Romania is denominated in euros but invoiced and paid in the local currency (RON); this exposes the Company to the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates could make it harder for these tenants to meet their contractual obligations.
The Finance Division carefully monitors the parameters 2.12.4.3 Exchange rate risk With regard specifically to transition risks and the potential impact on the fair value of the real estate portfolio, as reported in the appraisals, the independent appraisers have taken into account the ESG indicators of every building and included a cost component in their base cash flow analysis. This component includes extraordinary maintenance costs for which the owner is responsible, including energy upgrades associated with business plan targets and the company's ambitions, which may not represent a realistic estimate of such costs considering that companies are not yet legally required to incur them.
As mentioned in Section 2.10, the Group is evaluating the potential risks that climate change poses for its operations and has identified the following possible impacts:
With regard to related party and intercompany transactions, there are no transactions which qualify as unusual or atypical, as they fall within the Group's ordinary scope of operations and take place under arm's-length conditions.
With regard to the rules of corporate governance and the "Procedures for Related Party Transactions", please refer to Section 3.10, "Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure".
Details of related party transactions carried out in 2023 are provided in a section of the notes to the financial statements.

IGD SIIQ and the Group companies do not perform research and development activities.
During the year closed on 31 December 2023, no significant non-recurring transactions or atypical/unusual transactions, as defined in CONSOB's notice of 28 July 2006, were carried out with third parties or between Group companies.
The financial statements at 31 December 2023, being submitted to the shareholders for approval, show a net loss of €72,515 thousand. Total revenue and operating income amounted to €125.2 million, an increase of €11.2 million or 9.0%, attributable mainly to indexing for inflation, the new pre-lets and the merger by incorporation in IGD SIIQ of the subsidiary IGD Management SIINQ, effective for legal purposes as from 1 October 2023 and for statutory and tax purposes as from 1 January 2023.

that currently there are no objective parameters or specific databases allowing them to accurately reflect the impact of ESG in property valuations.
They did point out that properties with good to excellent levels of energy efficiency are viewed favorably by the real estate market as the property is capable of attracting tenants of high standing. Therefore, energy efficiency aspects are reflected indirectly in the property appraisal and expressed implicitly in market value.
In 2023 the Group intensified its commitment to using sustainable energy in both Italy and Romania. It purchased 96% of its energy from renewable sources and increased its own sustainable power production, mainly through the installation of solar panels. This increased its output capacity by 42%, from 2.1 MW to 2.98 MW, making a significant contribution to the green energy transition.

Since its IPO on 11 February 2005, the Company has adopted the Corporate Governance Code and has structured its corporate governance, i.e. its rules and standards of conduct, in a way that ensures efficient and transparent corporate bodies and control systems in line with the Code guidelines.
In January 2020, the Corporate Governance Committee adopted the Corporate Governance Code with effect from FY 2021. Since 2020 the Company implemented the process of updating its Corporate Governance Code in order to comply with Code recommendations, as discussed in greater detail below.
The current version of the Code is available on Borsa Italiana's website at: https://www.borsaitaliana.it/.

The Board of Directors plays an active role in guiding and encouraging decision-making by carefully assessing information and documentation at its board meetings, including with input from its internal committees. The committees report to the Board of Directors, twice-yearly, on the work they have carried out and/or when specific issues are discussed; of particular note is the role of the Control and Risk Committee when it comes to the constant monitoring, as part of the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) project, of the internal control and risk management system.
Without prejudice to the duties assigned to it by law and the corporate bylaws or its specific functions within the Internal Control System, the Board of Directors:
a) Examines and approves the business plan and/or the strategic plan of the Company and its Group, also on the basis of an analysis of issues relevant for the generation of value in the long term;

f) At the recommendation of the Chair of the Board of Directors in agreement with the Chief Executive Officer (responsible for the internal control and risk management system), updates the procedure for the management and disclosure of documents and information concerning the Company, with particular reference to inside information.

For further duties of the Board of Directors regarding composition, functioning, appointment and review, remuneration policy, and the internal control and risk management system, see Sections 4, 8 and 9 of this Report. On 14 December 2021 the Board approved the "Policy for didates who qualify as independent in accordance with
Pursuant to Articles 16.2 and 16.3 of the bylaws, the directors are elected on the basis of preference lists which comply with the current laws relating to gender equality. In accordance with Art. 16.3 of the bylaws, lists could be submitted by shareholders who, alone or together with others, hold the interest determined in accordance with CONSOB for 2024 equal to 4.5% of the Company's share capital, pursuant to Consob regulation n. 92 of 31 January 2024). The lists must be filed at the head office at least twenty-five days in advance of the first-call date of the meeting. Shareholders must prove possession of the shares needed to file voting lists by submitting the relative certification by the deadline for the publication of the list (namely at least 21 days prior to the Annual General Meeting). Pursuant to Art. 147-ter, paragraph 1-bis, TUF, ownership of the minimum amount needed to participate in the filing of a list is based on the number of shares officially held by the shareholder on the day the lists are filed with the Issuer.
The candidates must be numbered sequentially in the lists up to the number of seats to be filled. In accordance with the latest version of Art. 147 ter, fourth paragraph, of the TUF, Art. 16.3, last passage, of the bylaws states that every list must include at least two clearly indicated canthe law. The lists which include three or more candidates must include candidates of both genders, as indicated in the notice of call for the Annual General Meeting, in order to ensure that the composition of the Board of Directors complies with current laws relating to gender equality.
In compliance with the bylaws, the lists must be filed along with the candidates' irrevocable acceptance of office (should they be elected), curriculum vitae, and statements confirming that there are no reasons for ineligibility and/or disqualification and that they meet the requirements set by law.
Art. 16.4 of the bylaws, reflecting the provisions of Art. 147-ter, paragraph 3 of the TUF, prohibits any shareholder from submitting or participating in the submission of more than one list. In keeping with the above, Art. 16.7 of the bylaws states that if more than one list is submitted, at least one director must be appointed from the minority list that receives a majority of the votes cast. Thus, if the candidates ranked with the highest quotients come from a single list, the candidate from the minority list who has earned the highest quotient will be elected in place of the candidate at the bottom of the ranking. Pursuant to Art. 16.7-bis of the bylaws – as introduced by the amendments approved by the shareholders meeting in ordinary session on 18 April 2013 – if the law relating to gender equality fails to be complied with as a result of the votes cast, the candidates belonging to the more represented gender with the least amount of votes on the list that receives the most votes will be replaced by the number of candidates on the same list needed to ensure compliance with the laws governing gender equality without prejudice to the minimum number of independent directors required under the law. In the event that not enough candidates of the least represented gender appear on the list that receives the greatest number of votes, the shareholders will appoint the directors of the least represented gender with the majority of votes required by law.
Art. 16.8 of the bylaws, on the subject of filling vacancies on the Board of Directors, combines the co-option system with the requirement that minority interests be represented and that at least two directors qualify as independent pursuant to Art. 147-ter, par. 3 of the TUF, as well as in accordance with the laws governing gender equality.
For information on the role of the Board of Directors and board committees in the processes of review, appointment and succession of directors, see Section 6 of this Report.

ts and information to which they might have access in the course of their duties with the maximum confidentiality.
The Company's Board of Directors is comprised of individuals with different professional and personal profiles, including university professors, independent professionals and entrepreneurs, as well as company executives. The majority of the directors appointed qualify as independent under the Code and TUF.
Prior to the latest board election, the outgoing Board of Directors published its opinion on the future size and composition of the board and presented it to the shareholders ahead of the Annual General Meeting of 15 April 2021. The opinion also addressed the professional qualifications, experience, and skills expected of directors, including in light of the Company's size, complexity and strategy.
On 27 February 2024, the exiting Board of Directors approved the guidelines about the future size and composition of the board which will be published and submitted to shareholders ahead of the Shareholders' Meeting already convened on 18-19 April 2024 called, among other things, to resolve on the renewal of corporate bodies for the next three years. The current composition of the Board of Directors, which reflects the opinion of the outgoing Board of Directors, also complies with legislation on gender equality (Law 160/2019, i.e. the Budget Law that amended Arts. 147-ter, par. 1-ter and 148, para. 1-bis TUF, introduced by Law 120/2011), based on which at least two fifths of the Board members have to be of the less represented gender, rounded up to the nearest whole number (this quota is applicable for six terms in a row, starting with the first board election after the Budget Law came into effect).
In this respect, on 5 November 2020 the Company's Board of Directors had amended the bylaws in order to comply with provisions relating to gender equality referred to in the Budget Law.
Given the above, at this time the Company does not find it necessary to adopt a formal Diversity Policy, as the diversity principle is satisfied in the board's current composition.
In order to regulate the maximum permitted number of appointments in other companies that a director may hold, the Company drafted specific regulations referred to as the "Limits to the maximum number of appointments allowed in other companies" which were approved by the Board of Directors on 13 December 2010, and updated on 26 February 2015 as per the opinion of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee. The regulations are available to the public on the Company's website: http:// www.gruppoigd.it/en/governance/board-of-directors.
Based on the regulations, the term "maximum number" does not refer solely to the number of offices held, but also attributes a weight to each type of appointment in relation to the nature and size of the company, as well as the position held by IGD's directors in other companies, in light of the fact that more time is dedicated to certain positions than to others. In light of this consideration, IGD's Board of Directors held that the weight to be attributed to the office of chair or executive director be different, for example, than that of a non-executive/independent director or member of the Board of Statutory Auditors, also depending on whether the person serves on one or more Committees constituted within the Board of Directors. Lastly, the weight attributed to each office was also different based on the type and size of the company, and two sub-categories were established: Group A and Group B. Group A includes listed companies, financial institutions, banks, insurance companies or other large companies that meet the requirements listed in the Regulations. All the companies which are not part of Group A are automatically considered part of Group B. In light of these considerations, the Board listed the overall weight of the

The Board of Directors, meeting on 20 April 2021, elected as Chair Rossella Saoncella, who qualifies as independent pursuant to the applicable provisions of Legislative Decree 58/98 (TUF), the CONSOB Regulations, the Market Regulations, and the Corporate Governance Code. The Chair of the Board of Directors is not responsible for running the Company; that role, as mentioned above, lies with the Chief Executive Officer. for compliance with the reporting obligations. The main purpose of these guidelines is to implement suitable corporate governance tools that are concrete examples of the recommendations found in the Code. By ensuring the transparency and the timeliness of the Company's management, the guidelines allow the efficient flow of information between the deputized parties and the Board, as recommended by the Code, in order to stress the "centrality" of the Board as a whole while also reinforcing the internal control functions.

In accordance with Art. 23.2 of the bylaws and Art. 150 of TUF, the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors must be informed at least once a quarter, when the Board meetings are held, on general performance, the business outlook, and the transactions most relevant in terms of size or characteristics carried out by the Company or its subsidiaries. Specifically, the reporting body will inform the Board of Directors at least quarterly, when the Board holds its meetings. Such reporting is provided on the occasion of the Board's approval of the separate and consolidated financial statements for the year, the half-year, and the quarter. Each director may request that the deputized parties provide the Board with information regarding the Company's management. For the sake of complete and organized reporting, the Company has adopted guidelines setting the rules to be followed sented when submitting the voting list, taking account of the opinion expressed by the outgoing Board of Directors and of Ms. Saoncella's experience as Deputy Chair of the Board during its previous term. On 17 December 2020, the Company's Board of Directors, in accordance with Art. 7 of the Corporate Government Code, adopted the criteria for assessing the significance of professional, economic and financial relationships, as well as additional compensation, when evaluating independent status. More in detail, during this meeting the Board of Directors established that "For the purposes of assessing the independence of each non-executive director pursuant to Art. 2 of the Corporate Governance Code, the following are considered to be significant, with the exception of specific circumstances to be evaluated on a
The number and the qualifications of the independent directors are suited to the Company's needs and the functioning of the Board, and to the formation of Board committees.
Regarding the Chair of the Board of Directors, Rossella Saoncella was indicated for the role by the shareholder Coop Alleanza 3.0 Soc. coop. in the documentation precase-by-case basis, with substance prevailing over form:
a) Commercial, financial or professional relationships, existing or entered into in the last three years, with IGD or its subsidiaries or its parent company, or with the respective executive directors or Top Management, for which annual compensation is higher than at least one of the following thresholds:
(i) 5% of the director's annual income;
(ii) In the case the undertakings are with a company of which the director has control or is an executive director or a professional firm or company of which the director is a partner or an associate, 5% of the annual turnover generated directly by the director as part of the activities carried out with this company, professional firm or consultancy;
(iii) The amount of the annual compensation for acting as a non-executive director of IGD;
b) Remuneration in addition to the fixed compensation for acting as a board member and being part of a committee as per the Corporate Governance Code and the current law, received in the current year or in the last three years from IGD, one of its subsidiaries or its parent company, which exceeds at least one of the following thresholds:
(i) 5% of the director's annual income;
(ii) The amount of the annual compensation for acting as a non-executive director of IGD.
The Company's Board of Directors verified compliance with the requirements for independent, non-executive directors provided for in the Code and in the TUF upon appointment and, as is customary, upon approval of the draft financial statements. The outcome of this evaluation was disclosed to the market.
Having examined the information provided and statements made by the directors, during the meeting held on 27 February 2024 the Board of Directors confirmed the independent status of Rossella Saoncella, Antonio Rizzi, Silvia Benzi, Rossella Schiavini, Timothy Guy Michele Santini, Rosa Cipriotti, and Géry Robert-Ambroix, who qualified as independent at the time of their appointment. During the same meeting on 27 February 2024 the independent directors stated that they still qualified as such pursuant to and in accordance with TUF, CONSOB Market Regulations and the Corporate Governance Code, including the lack of any other circumstances that would render them non-independent.
On 13 February 2024 the Board of Statutory Auditors verified that the criteria and procedures for assessing the independence of its directors were correctly applied by the Board.
The directors appointed have committed to maintaining their independence throughout their term in office or otherwise to resigning from the Board.
The independent directors met on 27 February 2024 to discuss the topics of greatest interest with respect to the functioning of the Board of Directors and the company's operation.
In light of the separation of the offices of Board Chair and Chief Executive Officer and the fact that the office of Chair is not held by a person who controls the Company, the independent directors deemed it unnecessary to appoint a Lead Independent Director.
In accordance with the Code recommendations, particularly with regard to price sensitive information pursuant to Art. 114, para. 1 TUF, in December 2006, the Company adopted an internal procedure for the secure, confidential management and disclosure of price sensitive information and documents. Furthermore, in accordance with Art. 115-bis TUF, the Company established a registry of the persons who have access to price sensitive information in June 2006.
After the EU Regulation 596/2014 ("MAR") took effect the Company adopted a Procedure for the Management, Handling and Public Disclosure of Confidential and Price Sensitive Information and the Registry of Insiders. The Company may delay, under its own responsibility, public disclosure of the price sensitive information as long as the conditions called for in MAR are satisfied. The decision to delay disclosure is made by the Chief Executive Officer who works to guarantee that the price sensitive information is treated with the maximum confidentiality and that all necessary information is included in the Registry of Insiders, along with the timely registration of the individuals who have access to price sensitive information (the "Insider List"), maintained by the Company in accordance with the law.
On 3 August 2018, the Company updated this procedure (the "Procedure for the Management of Relevant and Price Sensitive Information of IGD SIIQ S.p.A." or the "Procedure") in order to comply with the guidelines for the management of price sensitive information adopted by Consob in October 2017. The Insider List is divided into two distinct sections: one defined "occasional" which includes parties identified on a case-by-case basis who may have access to specific information; one defined "permanent" which includes those parties who always have access to price sensitive information.
All directors, statutory auditors, executives and employees of the Company and/or its subsidiaries, as well as others who act in the name of or on behalf of the Company and/ or its subsidiaries, who have access to the Company's confidential or price sensitive information in the course of their duties, are bound by the Procedure. The Company manages the information shared with its shareholders in accordance with laws governing market abuse and CONSOB guidelines. // Internal Dealing
The Company discloses price sensitive information to the public as quickly as possible in a way which guarantees quick, equal, simultaneous access to the information throughout the European Union, as well as a complete, accurate and timely analysis of the information, by issuing a press release.
The Chief Executive Officer will determine whether or not information is privileged and/or price sensitive and, toward this end, may use company structures, the Corporate and Legal Affairs Division, and Investor Relations, as needed. When deemed opportune or necessary the Chief Executive Officer may request that this assessment be made by the Board of Directors. If the Chief Executive Officer, with the support of the relative internal divisions, finds that information is relevant, he or she will add a new section to the Relevant Informa-In accordance with Art. 114, paragraph 7 of TUF and with the implementation provisions found in Arts. 152-sexies et seq. of the "Consob Issuer Regulations", effective as of January 2007 the Board of Directors adopted a procedure governing mandatory notification and conduct on the subject of transactions carried out by relevant persons and parties closely related to such persons on the Company's shares or on related financial instruments ("Internal Dealing Procedure"). The content of the Internal Dealing Procedure has been updated in 2016 and lastly in 2018, in order to comply with the new rules introduced by MAR and the amendments to Consob Issuer Regulations.
tion List which will list the parties who have access to this information. The Chief Executive Officer, with the support of the relative internal divisions, will monitor any changes in the relevant information in order to understand whether or when this information may become price sensitive. For more information refer to the Internal Dealing Procedures available on the website at https://www.gruppoigd. it/en/governance/internal-dealing/ .
In full compliance with the Code recommendations, the Board of Directors has set up Board committees with advisory functions: (i) the Control and Risk Committee, (ii) the Appointments and Remuneration Committee (a single committee performing the functions the Code assigns to the Appointments Committee and the Remuneration Committee), and (iii) the Related Party Transactions Committee.
As the Company is subject to the management and coordination of Coop Alleanza 3.0 soc. Coop., pursuant to Art. 2497 of the Italian Civil Code, it is subject to Art. 16 of the Consob Market Regulations, based on which the committees formed pursuant to the Code must comprise only independent directors as defined in these provisions. Therefore, all Committees are made up of independent directors, the Chair of the Board of Directors, who is also independent but is not a member of any committee.
The members of the above committees were appointed during the latest re-election of the Board of Directors – further to nominations by the Annual General Meeting of shareholders – held on 15 April 2021.
For further information on the Related Party Transactions Committee, see Section 3.9 of this Report.
The Corporate Governance Regulations adopted by the Company also govern the functioning of its committees, including the means of taking meeting minutes and the procedures for informing the committee members, specifying the deadlines for sending advance information and the methods of keeping such information confidential so as not to prejudice the timeliness and completeness of reporting.
The meetings of each Committee are recorded in minutes by the secretary appointed for the purpose. The Board is informed of their work during meetings convened to decide on the issues previously discussed by the committees.
The Committee chair reports on meetings at the first Board of Directors meeting convened, and in any case, at least every six months.
Members of the Board of Statutory Auditors may attend the meetings of each Committee. The Committees are entitled to access the company information they need to perform their duties.
No director may attend a meeting of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee during which his/her compensation is being discussed. Notice of Committee meetings, which must specify the date, time, means of participation, and agenda, is sent to the members of the relevant committee on the recommendation of the committee chair, who is normally assisted by the Company's legal and corporate affairs division. As a rule, meetings are convened by e-mail with at least two days' notice.
In urgent cases, the notice period may be shorter, but not less than 24 hours. The notice of meeting is sent by the Company's executive secretariat, to the committee members and also to any other persons the committee chair has invited to attend the meeting.
Any documentation concerning the agenda is made available to the members, by the committee chair or secretary, sufficiently in advance.
The Company has not formed any Board committees other than those provided for by law or recommended by the Code.

> Relationships between directors, the Chairman and Management, understanding of company events and participation in company decisions.
Consistent with Principle XIII of the Corporate Governance Code, in 2023 the Board of Directors once again reviewed the effectiveness of its own activities and the contribution of each of its members, through formalized self-evaluation procedures. More specifically, the Board of Directors has placed the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, in the context of its role supporting the Board review process, in charge of checking the methodology used for the review process with assistance from With regard to 2023, the directors shared what had emerged during the review process, finding that the characteristics, as well as the functioning of the Board and its committees were adequate in light of the size and needs of the Company. The directors expressed their appreciation for the topics included in the review. The Board expressed a positive opinion about the size, composition and functioning of the Board itself, including the Board committees, taking into account the expertise and professional characteristics.

> Composition and functioning of the Board committees, as well as the relationship with the control bodies. In light of possible future scenarios, the Board suggests that the future Board's understanding of finance, risk management, control systems, as well as strategic and market direction, should be strengthened.
For each area, individual interviews were conducted with each director in order to gather the information needed to prepare the Board Review. Subsequently, the results of these interviews were shared with the Board of Directors in order to identify areas in need of improvement to be addressed in 2024. (i) Had expressed its opinion - in accordance with Code recommendations and considering the outcome of the Board review process conducted the previous year, with input from the Appointments and Remuneration Committee - on the optimal size and composition of the new Board.

Egon Zehnder also assisted IGD with the implementation of the Succession Plan for key positions in the Company and also assisted with training activities.
In 2012, having confirmed the organizational needs mentioned in the Code, the Board of Directors decided to combine the Remuneration Committee and the Appointments Committee along with the functions assigned to each.
The establishment of the "Appointments and Remuneration Committee" was decided for organizational purposes within the Board and because of the strong correlation between the competencies of the former Remuneration Committee and those of the former Appointments Committee pursuant to the Code. The Company verified that the members of the Remuneration Committee possess the same requirements relative to independence, professionalism and experience as the members of the Appointments Committee.
Appointments and Remuneration Committee

The Internal Control and Risk Management System ("ICR-MS") consists of the set of rules, procedures and organizational structures designed to ensure that the business is run correctly and in line with the objectives agreed upon, through the proper identification, assessment and control of the primary risks facing the company with a view to creating medium/long term value for shareholders. The ICRMS ensures the safeguarding of the company's assets, the efficiency and efficacy of the company's operations, compliance with laws, regulations, bylaws and internal procedures, as well as the reliability of financial information. As the objective of the Internal Control System is, therefore, to guarantee the reliability, accuracy, dependability and the timeliness of the financial information, the system is considered an integral part of and not separate from the general Risk Management System adopted by the Company.
The Board of Directors, consistently with the Company's strategic guidelines, has defined the key principles of the ICRMS including through the formation of specific committees with advisory and consulting functions.
This system is part of the Company's organizational and corporate governance structure and reflects the reference models, as well as national and international best practices, also in light of the changing rules.
More in detail, the planning, implementation and monitoring of IGD's ICRMS are modeled after the CoSo (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) Framework; with a view to continuous improvement, the Company develops and updates the System components constantly.
The CoSo Framework aims to:
> Establish a definition of internal control that meets the needs of the different stakeholders;
> Establish a reference model in relation to which companies and other organizations can assess the reliability of internal control;
Based on the CoSo Framework the following five components comprise the Internal Control System : (a) control environment ; (b) risk assessment; (c) control activities; (d) information and communication; (e) monitoring.
The components of the ICRMS are summarized below:
provide a shared reference base (shared language) for Management, Directors, Control Bodies and Delegates, etc. Under the CoSo Framework, there should be a direct correlation between the Company's objectives and the components of the Internal Control System: > Each component of the Internal Control System correlates with three main categories of objectives, including i) operational efficiency (management control); ii) adequate information (administrative-accounting control); iii) compliance; > An efficient control system reduces the risk that one or more objectives will not be achieved (achieved = the level deemed acceptable by the company/organization); > This is guaranteed if i) the five components of the control system and the standards are concrete, clear and completely functional, and ii) the five components work together. with employees and staff members. This Code is an official document that contains all the standards underlying the Company's activity. The Top Management and the supervisory and control bodies which make up the ICRMS help to ensure compliance with the conduct set out in the Code of Ethics. The Company is committed to pursuing economic, environmental and social sustainability for its stakeholders and issues a Corporate Sustainability Report. Furthermore, in order to continuously improve and strengthen corporate governance, consolidate ethical business practices, protect integrity and offset the risk of corruption, in April 2020 the Company concluded the project designed to further strengthen its anti-corruption controls. This called for the design and implementation of the anti-corruption systems in accordance with the international norm, ISO 37001:2016 (in synergy with the other anti-corruption compliance tools already adopted) obtaining the relative certification. This path, begun in fall 2019, also compelled the adoption of an anti-corruption policy and the formation of a Supervisory Board, Top Management and Compliance Unit charged with monitoring the prevention of corruption.
The Company has defined and shared its Code of Ethics
ICRMS planning activities are coordinated in keeping with the assessment of the risk level compatible with the issuer's strategic objectives, including with a view to the medium/long-term sustainability of its operations. The group of individuals who comprise the Company's ICRMS guarantee that the supervisory activities will be carried out in compliance with the law and regulations. More in detail, the different duties (which will be explained in greater detail below) are assigned to the Board of Directors, the Director in Charge of the ICRMS, the Risk and Control Committee, the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Supervisory Board, the Financial Reporting Officer, and the Internal Audit Unit.
The control environment refers to the organizational context in which the strategies and objectives are defined, the ways in which business activities are structured and the ways in which risks are identified and managed. This includes many elements, including the Company's ethics, expertise and development of personnel, the style with which operations are managed and the methods used to grant special mandates, powers and responsibilities. In line with the framework standards, the control environment includes the following five sub-elements: bilities ICRMS involves, to the extent of their expertise: 1) The Board of Directors, whose responsibility is to determine and pursue the strategic objectives of the Company and the entire Group, as well as define the nature and level of risk deemed compatible with the Company's objectives, including all the risks deemed material to medium/ long-term sustainability;
2) The Director charged with creating and managing an effective ICRMS;
IGD SIIQ S.P.A. - ANNUAL REPORT 2023
The Company promotes and enhances, at all levels, the reliability – in the broadest sense of the term – of organizational conduct, procedural management, IT, and internal and external communications.
The Company promotes research and development activities in order to enhance the talent and professional expertise of its resources. The human resources management systems adopted foster the enhancement of professional know-how and incentivize the achievement of goals through specific bonus schemes and the development of employee training programs. port for integrated risk management, used as part of the Group's ERM system, periodically provides for: > Benchmark analyses of competitors/peers, with regard to both governance models and the ERM methods used, as well as of the risk management controls used relative to emergencies and unforeseeable exogenous events (e.g. Covid-19 pandemic, Russia-Ukraine conflict);
Risk assessment is viewed as an integral part of the system. In order to most effectively serve its control and risk management needs, as well as its complexity, status as a listed company and business dynamics, IGD developed an integrated model for risk management which is in line with renowned international Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) standards. As per these standards, risk assessment is carried out in line with a) above and is based on four sub-elements: mance; > Assessment of the level of risk coverage based on the control mechanisms used; > The prioritization of risks and the areas of intervention, as well as the analysis of the risk tolerance consistent with the guidelines defined by the Group's top management as a result of specific assessments.

The ERM model identifies and assesses in the Risk Map an area of risk referred to as "Fraud committed by Company personnel or its stakehol-
3) The Control and Risks Committee, as the voice of the Board of Directors, formed in accordance with the Corporate Governance Code which must support, after having received adequate information, the evaluations and decisions made by the Board of Directors relating to the ICRMS, as well as the decisions relating to the approval of the periodic financial reports;
4) The Head of Internal Audit is charged with verifying that the ICRMS is functional and adequate and with adapting the Audit Plan to the outcome of the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process;
5) The Financial Reporting Officer who, by law, is charged with establishing adequate administrative and accounting procedures for the preparation of financial documents and reports;
6) The Board of Statutory Auditors, which oversees the effectiveness of the ICRMS;
7) The Supervisory Board, formed pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/01, which supervises compliance with the Code of Ethics and verifies the efficacy and adequacy of the Legislative Decree 231/01 Organizational, Management and Control Model;
8) The Governing Body, Top Management and the division responsible for compliance with anti-corruption measures.
The list of the relevant parties also includes: (i) Group Management which is responsible for first level internal controls and risk management; (ii) the divisions involved in second level controls with specific duties and responsibilities relative to the control of different areas/types of risk.
The ICRMS, in line with regulations and best practices, can be broken down in the following levels:
> First level: monitored by the single operating lines, consistent with the controls made by those who carry out certain activities and the relative supervisors; it also ensures that operations are being carried out correctly;
> Second level: assigned to structures other than the operating lines, participates in the definition of methods to be used to measure, identify, assess and control risk (risk management); verifies compliance with laws and regulations (Compliance);
> Third level: assigned to Internal Audit which assesses the functioning of the entire internal control and risk management system, as well as the detection of unusual performances, procedural and regulatory violations, as well as the division responsible for compliance with anti-corruption measures.
All persons involved coordinate their activities to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of the ICRMS and to avoid overlaps. The results of the periodic supervisory/control operations are always shared with the internal control bodies, the Board Committees and the Board of Directors, including when they meet as a whole.
The Board of Directors ensures that the assessments and decisions made relating to the Issuer's risk exposure, the internal control system, the approval of the annual and half-year reports, as well as the relations between the Company and the external auditors are supported by an adequate exchange of information.
The Board of Directors, as part of its strategic supervision, defines the guidelines for the control systems in line with the Company's business risk previously determined by the Board (3).
The Board, by law, must also periodically verify the adequacy of the control systems. Unforeseen events, however, may require further investigation in order to verify the efficacy of the controls in relation to particular situations (4). The Board, therefore, is also responsible for the adoption of an adequate system in light of the business's characteristics.
Toward this end an efficient organization of the workflow is key to ensuring that any questions relating to internal control, in general, and risk management, in particular, are discussed with the Board after having been adequately briefed by the Control and Risk Committee.

ders that could impact its assets and its reputation." The controls defined relating, in particular, to administrative and accounting operations, financial and treasury management, as well as property and retail management, also take into account aspects relating to fraud risk.
The assessments of this sort of risk take into account not only the results of the controls made by system personnel, but also the recommendations and action plans emerged as a result of internal audits and any observations made by the external auditors shared with the Company. With a view to continuously improving the system, the Company will continue to work on preventing fraud and the instruments used in this regard.
As part of the ICRMS, the risks analyzed and assessed are periodically verified and updated in light of strategies, the organizational model and the business operations. The Company, therefore, periodically updates the tools used to identify and assess risk (ERM system, Decree 231/01 Model for Organization, Management and Control, system used to control accounting-administrative procedures pursuant to Law 262/05) to ensure that they fit the Company's organizational and business characteristics, as well as the corporate strategy.
Toward this end, after the EU privacy regulation no. 2016/679 took effect, the Company worked to comply with the new regulation and identified, using its ERM model and Risk Map, an area of risk referred to as "Privacy risk – Sanctions connected to violations of regulations protecting data privacy." Controls call for (i) monitoring the relative regulations, (ii) updating company procedures, mandates and related company documentation, and (iii) training company personnel.
The Company also included the risk of "Legislative Decree 231/01 Liabilities" and "Law 262/05 Liabilities" in its ERM model and the relative risk map used to periodically assess the measures implemented in order to guarantee the adequacy and effectiveness of the relative models with respect to the law and the Company's organization.
Control activities are defined in accordance with regulations, policies, guidelines and procedures that ensure that the risk management strategies adopted are executed correctly. In line with the framework standards and pursuant to the observations made in b) above, the control activities include the following three sub-elements:
The control activities defined by IGD are based on the definition and deployment of a series of controls designed to mitigate risks of various types, including organizational, procedural, operational or relating to third party interests. The selection of the control activities is rooted in the risk identification and mapping carried out in accordance with the ERM model, the Decree 231/01 Model for Organization, Management and Control and the administrative-accounting control system pursuant to Law 262/05. As part of these assessment activities, the Company assesses the adequacy of the existing controls with respect to the level of risk identified and determines the steps that need to be taken to strengthen controls, in line with the control objectives defined and shared with Top Management. Implementation is periodically monitored by the system personnel based on his/her duties and responsibilities, including by way of specific monitoring of the main risks identified by interviewing management, gathering documentation and data analysis.
The organizational model adopted by the Company calls for the use of information systems in Software as a Service (SaaS) mode which guarantees that a high degree of service will be available thanks to backup and disaster recovery measures. In 2023 a new system was also implemented for the HR Human Capital Management processes.
In 2023 IGD internalized network management, guaranteeing better control, including with respect to cyber security, thanks to the application of specific, stringent safety measures on the wi-fi networks targeting the monitoring of any vulnerabilities and preventing any cyber-attacks.
The company, lastly, has equipped itself with an IT Network & Security Specialist who reports to the IT Manager.
IGD, in line with the control objectives defined, as well as the best market practices and the methods adopted, defined a series of policies and procedures that govern conduct, as well as organizational and management practices (internal regulations and procedures). They form an integral part of internal regulations and procedures, along with the market procedures, administrative-accounting controls, the Model for Organization, Management and Control, and the procedures required by law.
Information is needed at all corporate levels in order to identify, assess and carry out the decisions made relative to the treatment of risk, as well as deploy the control activities defined in order to reach the goals defined. The correct functioning of the ICRMS is based on an active sharing of the duties between the company divisions in-
In order to provide the control activities with concrete support, the Company gathers and assesses relevant information. While the system is being monitored, information is gathered through interviews of management and based on self-assessment initiatives. The Company has also defined a set of Key Risk Indicators that are updated periodically in order to understand elements that could prove useful to understanding potential risks. Similarly, reporting lines and ways to manage information flows are determined by the Legislative Decree 231/01 Supervisory Board, Internal Audit and the Financial Reporting Officer. The management, control bodies and the Board of Directors are provided periodically with reports on the progress of the work being done and updates about any changes relative to the levels of the risks identified.
volved. An efficient Internal Control System strives to: > Eliminate the methodological/organizational overlaps between the different control functions; Internal communications must ensure that all appropriate company staff members are aware of the control and Governance rules and that management is updated constantly including with regard to any new provisions relating to the ICRMS, as well as changes to internal rules. The internal communications system includes the training programs developed in order to provide management with an understanding of the procedures and controls defined by the Company. Information channels are in place through which Top Management and the control bodies are provided with useful information in order to improve the system or report any lack of compliance with the controls.
The Company promotes transparent and thorough external communications policies. Toward this end the ICRMS, as well as the corporate events of potential interest to all stakeholders, are made public through the institutional channels adopted by the Company, namely periodic financial reporting, the Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure, the corporate website www. gruppoigd.it and all the disclosures made available to the public by the Investor Relations department.
In line with the framework standards and pursuant to the observations made in c) above, the information and communication activities are defined based on the following three sub-elements: i) Use of relevant information Information is needed at all corporate levels in order to identify, assess and carry out the decisions made relative to the treatment of risk, as well as deploy the control activities defined in order to reach the goals defined. In line with the framework standards and pursuant to the observations made in d) above, the risk assessment activities include the following two sub-elements:
In line with the procedures used to identify, assess, manage and monitor the risks defined by the system adopted, each system player is called upon periodically to report on the functioning of the system and its ability to contain risk within the defined limits as per the guidelines defined by the relative control bodies.
The periodic evaluation of the ICRMS makes it
possible to single out the areas in need of improvement in order to align the system with the relative control bodies' expectations and the level of risk that the Company can tolerate. The players and the bodies that are part of the ICRMS are involved in the evaluation process and the communication of any deficiencies.
With regard to the internal controls implemented in relation to the financial reporting process, in prior years IGD has undertaken to comply with Law 262/05 by updating the accounting and administrative control models and has also executed the controls necessary to support the Financial Reporting Officer's certification process.
The above mentioned accounting and administrative control system represents the set of rules, procedures and internal tools used by the Company to ensure the reliability, accuracy, and timeliness of financial reporting.
The methods used by the Financial Reporting Officer in the development of the accounting and administrative control system are those described in specific guidelines drafted in this regard which are in line with the recommendations found in the CoSo Report, the model referred to in the guidelines issued by ANDAF for the Financial Reporting Officer.
As part of the financial reporting process, in order to understand the principal risks to which IGD and the Group are exposed, the Financial Reporting Officer works with the parties involved in the Company's and the Group's Enterprise Risk Management system in order to identify and assess business risks.
The phases of the administrative-accounting control model are summarized below.
During this phase the scope of the analysis is determined relative to the Group companies (including the foreign companies), the processes of the single companies, as well as the administrative-accounting risks and controls to be investigated further.
The Manager in charge constantly evaluates the scope of the analysis and makes any necessary changes and additions. Risks are, therefore, identified for each individual administrative-accounting process.
This activity calls for the assessment of financial reporting risk for both entities and processes, as well as for single transactions. Existing controls and the ability to effectively mitigate the risks inherent to administrative-accounting processes are checked.
Based on the approach used, both the risks relating to non-intentional errors and fraud are taken into account and controls are put into place to ensure that these risks are monitored, including as part of control protocols implemented in the context of other components of the overall internal control system.
The approach used also takes into account the manual and IT systems controls supporting the administrative-accounting procedures, namely the automatic IT controls for applications, general controls covering systems access, control of systems development and changes and, lastly, the adequacy of the IT structures. The control system, both on entity and general IT structural levels, is subject to analysis in order to understand how to deploy initiatives to strengthen it.
The analysis of procedures, risks and controls established based on the Financial Reporting Officer's work plan includes the updating of the model used to control accounting and administrative risk with constant risk assessment review pursuant to Law 262/05 and the introductions of new procedures as a result of the scoping reviews. The Financial Reporting Officer constantly monitors the adequacy of the controls identified, and carrying out, when necessary, corrective measures.
Based on the work carried out to identify procedures, risks and controls, the Company plans the improvements needed to introduce and/or change controls, both general and for single processes. The administrative-accounting procedures are then updated accordingly. IGD's administrative-accounting procedures are defined and deployed in accordance with the organizational structure and cor-
porate processes in place, both in Italy and in Romania. A specific analysis was done of the control system and the accounting IT systems in order to assess the adequacy of the controls with respect to the standards included in the Company's framework. The Company evaluates the need for and plans updates in order to ensure that the administrative-accounting procedures are in line with the Group's organization and functioning. 3.9.1 // Chief Executive Officer During the meeting held on 20 April 2021, the Board of Directors also charged the Chief Executive Officer with the institution and maintenance of the Internal Control and Risk Management System.
Based on the current ICRMS, the Financial Reporting Officer must report to the Board Directors and actively participate in the coordination of the control activities.
* * *
The administrative-accounting procedures are monitored constantly; toward this end, specific testing activities are planned and carried out in order to ensure that the controls called for in the administrative-accounting procedures, as well as any corrective measures, are carried out correctly by the corporate divisions. These evaluations include all the Group companies. > Carefully monitored the business and any changes in the market in order to identify any new risks by working closely with the Company's Managers with Strategic Responsibilities who meet at least twice a month; > Actively participated in risk analysis and the relative

The internal control system is strengthened by the adoption of a specific organizational model, approved by the Board of Directors already in May 2006 (the "Organizational Model") and subsequently updated and revised as a result of changes in legislation. More in detail: The Organizational Model is comprised of the parts described below:
> In 2018, a whistleblowing system was introduced pursuant to Law n. 179/2017 which calls for the creation of one or more communication channels through which top management and subordinates may anonymously report illicit behavior; this whistleblowing system was updated in 2023, in light of the expanded scope of application of the law relating to whistleblowing pursuant to Legislative Decree n. 24/2023, which implements EU Directive 2019/1037. Toward this end, the Whistleblowing Procedure adopted by the Company ("Whistleblowing Procedure"), was amended, in accordance with this law, in order to (i) adjust the objective scope of reportable violations in line with the provisions of Legislative Decree 24/2023; (ii) identify the Compliance Function for the prevention of corruption as the recipient of the reports referred to in Legislative Decree 24/2023 above and other reports; (iii) expand the list of subjects who can submit a report; (iv) update the phases of the internal reporting process; (v) introduce, as an alternative to the online platform, the possibility to file reports through direct meetings with the Supervisory Board or the Compliance Function for the prevention of corruption; (vi) include references to the disciplinary system included in the Organizational Model; (vii) enhance the measures protecting the whistleblower and related parties; (viii) refer to the other reporting channels included in the law. b) The single parts dedicated to each group of crimes applicable to the Company; c) The Matrix of Identification of Activities at Risk (MIAR) created based on the information deemed useful to the understanding of IGD's activities and organizational system; d) The Code of Ethics, which contains the general principles of diligence, honesty and fairness guiding professional performance and inspiring conduct at the workplace; e) The Supervisory Board which is charged with monitoring the effectiveness, adequacy and compliance with the Model. The Supervisory Board may act independently and must ensure that the Model is constantly updated. The Supervisory Board also provides the Board of Directors with information regarding the changes that need to be made to the Model in order to comply with norms and regulations and to reflect the business operations.
The Company's current Organizational Model is in the process of being updated to reflect the latest crimes introduced in Legislative Decree 231/2001.
a) A general part, which includes the disciplinary system that supports all the rules found in the Organizational Model;
> In 2020 the Organizational Model underwent extensive revision. More specifically, it was integrated with the Anti-Bribery Management System already implemented by the Company when it received the UNI ISO 37001:2016 certification issued by RINA Services S.p.A., an independent certifier accredited by Accredia (a national accrediting entity for certifications and inspections appointed by the government) and the Italian leader in compliance certification. well as for the execution of specific audits deemed necessary based on the information gathered. The current Supervisory Board, appointed by the Board of Directors on 20 April 2021, is comprised of Gilberto Coffari, Chair, Paolo Maestri and Alessandra De Martino.
The Supervisory Board has hired a consulting company which provides the support necessary for the management and analysis of the information generated pursuant to Art. 6, par. 2, lett. d) of Legislative Decree 231/2001, as
The Supervisory Board will remain in office until the approval of the financial statements at 31 December 2023 by the AGM. The members of the Supervisory Board aren't from inside the Company and they have the specific expertise needed to effectively fulfill the duties assigned.
The Supervisory Board has two reporting lines: one that involves continuous communication with the Chair of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors and one that involves communicating with the Board of Directors every six months. The Supervisory Board also interfaces with the Control and Risks Committee, by way of the internal audit firm, in order to coordinate their respective control functions, without prejudice to the independence and different purposes of the two bodies. In light of this, the Company did not deem it necessary to appoint a non-executive director and/or a member of the Statutory Auditors and/or a head of the company's legal or control functions to act as a member of the Supervisory Board as the current configuration and coordination of the different parties involved in the internal control and risk management system was deemed adequate.
The Model is also available on the company's website at https://www.gruppoigd.it/en/governance/business-ethics/organizational-model/ .
The activities related to financial audit are carried out by a company selected by the shareholders from among those listed in Consob's specific roll and based on the motivated opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
The Board of Directors, as it is responsible for the strategic supervision of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, with the support of the Control and Risks Committee, evaluates, after consulting with the Board of Statutory Auditors the findings in the independent auditors' report, any letters of opinion and additional reports addressed to the Board of Statutory Auditors.
On 14 April 2022 the shareholders, on the basis of the motivated opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, granted the company Deloitte & Touche S.p.A. the financial audit assignment for the period 2022-2030.
On 13 December 2018, the Board of Directors, after having received a favorable opinion from the Board of Statutory Auditors, appointed Carlo Barban, the Company's Director of Administration, Corporate and Legal Affairs, Contracts, HR and IT, to act as the Financial Reporting Officer
for an indefinite period of time, effective 1 January 2019, and assigned him his duties, as well as adequate powers and means.
In compliance with Art. 154-bis of TUF and Article 23.5 of the bylaws, the Board of Directors must appoint a Financial Reporting Officer, subject to the opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, who has matured at least five years of experience in a) administrative or control activities and who has had a supervisory role in companies or entities with assets of not less than €10 million, or b) professional activities, including as part of audit functions, strictly connected to business activities and functions that the officer is called up to perform.
The Financial Reporting Officer has access to adequate administrative and accounting procedures in order to draft the separate and, where provided for, the consolidated financial statements, as well as all other financial documents.
The Board of Directors must ensure that the Financial Reporting Officer has powers and means needed to carry out the duties assigned, as well as comply with the administrative and accounting procedures.
The Financial Reporting Officer must provide a written declaration which accompanies the announcements made by the Company to the market, as well as the interim and financial reports, attesting that the information contained reflects the underlying records, ledgers and accounting entries.
The Financial Reporting Officer, along with the executive director (s) must provide a report on the separate and consolidated (if prepared) yearly financial statements and on the half year report attesting that the administrative and accounting procedures used to prepare the separate and financial statements are adequate in light of the characteristics of the Company's business.
The Financial Reporting Officer must also attest that the separate and consolidated financial statements:

b) Correspond to the ledgers and accounting entries;
c) Provide fair and truthful disclosures of the company's income statement, balance sheet and financial positions and the companies included in the scope of consolidation. Lastly, the Financial Reporting Officer, along with the executive director (s), must attest that the directors' report accurately depicts the operating performance and results of both the Company and the businesses included in the scope of consolidation, as well as the main risks and uncertainties to which they are exposed.
The Company is aware that the different control functions were conceived by the legislator as part of a complex system which is effective because of the many parties and different points of view that each control function provides.
It is also clear that the effectiveness of the overall operations of the different control functions can benefit from the coordination of the different operators, while complying with the fundamental principle of independence and autonomy, above all when the objective of the controls coincides.
Toward this end, the Company promoted meetings between control bodies in order to facilitate the coordination of the activities, as reported below.
*** During the year, the Board did not deem it necessary to adopt other measures to guarantee the effectiveness and impartiality of judgement of the other company divisions involved in the controls (Recommendation 33, d). The Board reserves the right to carry out other evaluations in this regard. Other parties may be invited to attend the meetings which, in addition to periodically, may be called anytime there is a specific need and may include, in addition to the respective committees and bodies, including not as a group, the Director in Charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, the Head of Internal Audit, the Financial Reporting Officer, the external audit firm and the Chairman of the Supervisory Board.
The Chair of the Board of Statutory Auditors (including in his function as Committee for the Internal Control of Financial Audit) will call a meeting with the Chair of the
Control and Risks Committee with the frequency agreed upon and at least once a year to discuss the results of their respective control activities, to evaluate planning and the possible coordination of their respective activities. Toward this end, the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors will not only coordinate the work of the statutory auditors, but will also act as the link with the other corporate entities involved in the supervision of the control systems.
The meetings relative to 2023 were held on 28 July 2023 and 26 February 2024 and were attended by the Chair of the Control and Risks Committee, of the Board of Statutory Auditors, Internal Audit, the external auditors, the Director in Charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, Compliance, the Financial Reporting Officer and the Supervisory Board.
During the year, the Chair of the Control and Risk Committee and the Chief Executive Officer - Director in Charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System - met with the Head of Internal Audit:
a) To examine the yearly work plan in advance and suggest any changes that might need to be made with regard to the control activities scheduled by the Committee;
b) To receive and discuss the results of the activities carried out by the Head of Internal Audit, suggesting any other initiatives that might be called for.
The Chair of the Supervisory Board meets with the Head of Internal Audit to examine the yearly work plan relating to the control activities.
With regard to the transactions with related parties, as of 1 January 2011 the Company has applied the Procedure for Related Party Transactions approved on 11 November 2010 by the Board of Directors, as subsequently amended, after having received a favorable opinion from the Related Party Transactions Committee. The Procedures were updated on 30 June 2021, in accordance with the latest amendments to the Regulations for Related Party Transactions, the Regulations for Issuers and Market Regulations (resolutions n. 21624 and 21623) published by CONSOB on 11 December 2020 in implementation of Legislative Decree n. 49 of 10 June 2019 which transposed the European directive Shareholder Rights Directive II.
When the Procedure for Related Party Transactions was approved, the Company's Board of Statutory Auditors assessed the compliance of this procedure with the standards included in the Regulations for Related Party Transactions.
The purpose of the Procedure for Related Party Transactions is to define the rules governing the approval and execution of related party transactions entered into by the Company, directly or through its subsidiaries, in order to ensure the transparency, as well as the substantive and procedural fairness of the transaction.
The new notion of Related Party is defined based on the international accounting standards, adopted in accordance with Article 6 of the EC Regulation n. 1606/2002 of 19 July 2002. With regard to the perimeter of related parties, IGD voluntarily expanded the scope of the Procedure for Related Party Transactions to include Unicoop Tirreno Soc. Coop., currently a Company shareholder, as well as Unipol UGF, in light of the interests held in the parent company Coop Alleanza 3.0.
The Company formed the Related Party Transactions Committee in accordance with Art. 2391-bis of the Italian Civil Code and Art. 4, paragraphs 1 and 3, of CONSOB's Regulations for Related Party Transactions. The Related Party Transactions Committee comprises three independent directors appointed by the Board of Directors.
In order to verify the related party status of individuals in positions of power, responsible, directly or indirectly, for the planning, management and control of the Company's activities, including the directors (executive or not) (the "Executives with Strategic Responsibilities"), upon appointment they must issue a statement in which they declare under which circumstances, if any, they qualify as a related party so that the safeguards adopted in the Procedures for Related Party Transactions may be implemented.
When the Board of Directors is resolving on related party transactions, based on the Procedures for Related Party Transactions the any directors involved in the transaction must abstain from voting on the resolution but they can attend the meeting and take part in the Board's discussions. "Directors involved in the transaction" are those directors that have an interest in the transaction, either directly or through third parties, which conflicts with the Company's interest (as defined in the CONSOB's Regulations for Related Party Transactions).
The Related Party Transactions Committee currently in office was appointed by the Board of Directors after the shareholders re-elected the Board during the AGM held on 15 April 2021.
The Related Party Transactions Committee meets with the frequency needed to perform its duties, and is, in any case, convened sufficiently ahead of the Board of Directors meeting during which its proposals will be discussed and resolved upon; it is provided with documentation sufficient for making informed decisions.
The Related Party Transactions Committee meetings are overseen by the Chair and a secretary is appointed for each meeting who takes the minutes of the meeting which, typically, are subsequently submitted to the Committee for approval through an exchange of e-mails between the appointed secretary and the Chairman of the Committee.
In 2023, Related Party Transactions Committee received a written notice from the Company relative to the application of the exemptions referred to in CONSOB regulations relative to related party transactions. In 2023, therefore, the Related Party Transactions Committee never formally met. The Procedures for Related Party Transactions can be found on the Company's website at https://www.gruppoigd.it/en/governance/committees/committee-for-related-party-transactions/.

The consolidated financial statements of Immobiliare Grande Distribuzione SIIQ S.p.A. at 31 December 2023 were approved and authorized for publication by the Board of Directors on 27 February 2024.
IGD SIIQ S.p.A. is a subsidiary of Coop Alleanza 3.0 Soc. Coop. and is under the management and coordination of that company.
The 2023 consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) issued by the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) and approved by the European Union, and with instructions issued in compliance with Art. 9 of Legislative Decree 38/2005. The term "IFRS" encompasses all of the International Accounting Standards (IAS) and all interpretations published by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), including those previously issued by the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC), that as of the reporting date had been endorsed following the procedure specified in Regulation (EC) 1606/2002. The IFRS have been applied consistently to all reporting periods presented.
The Directors have assessed the applicability of the going concern assumption in preparing the financial statements, concluding that this assumption is appropriate as there are no doubts about the company's continuity, considering the actions taken in 2023 as described in the corporate events paragraph.
The items in the statement of financial position have been classified as current or non-current, and those in the income statement by type.
The statement of comprehensive income shows the net profit or loss along with income and charges that by express requirement of IFRS are recognized directly in equity.
The statement of changes in equity presents comprehensive income and charges, transactions with shareholders and other changes in shareholders' equity.
The statement of cash flows is prepared using the indirect method, adjusting the pre-tax profit for non-cash items.
The financial statements, tables and explanatory notes are expressed in thousands of euro (€/000 or €K), unless otherwise specified.
Due to certain technical limitations, some information in these consolidated financial statements prepared in ESEF format, when extracted from XHTML in an XBRL instance, may not be reproduced in the same way as the corresponding information that can be viewed in the consolidated financial statements in XHTML format.
The following IFRS accounting standards, amendments and interpretations were applied for the first time by the Group as from 1 January 2023:
> On 7 May 2021 the IASB published "Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction." The amendments clarify the accounting of deferred tax on certain transactions that can generate assets and liabilities of the same amount upon initial recognition, such as leasing and decommissioning obligations. The modifications are effective from 1 January 2023. This amendment has not affected the Group's consolidated financial statements;
> On 12 February 2021 the IASB published two amendments: "Disclosure of Accounting Policies—Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2" and "Definition of Accounting Estimates—Amendments to IAS 8." The amendments concerning IAS 1 require an entity to disclose material information on its accounting policies. The amendments improve disclosures regarding the Group's accounting policies in order to provide more useful information to investors and to other primary users of financial statements, and help companies distinguish changes in accounting estimates from changes in accounting policies. The modifications are effective from 1 January 2023. The adoption of these amendments has not affected the Group's consolidated financial statements;
4.6 // Notes to the financial statements > On 23 May 2023 the IASB published "Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules." The amendments introduce a temporary exception to the accounting and disclosure obligations for deferred tax assets and liabilities under the Pillar Two Model Rules (which took effect in Italy on 31 December 2023 but are applicable from 1 January 2024), and require specific disclosures by entities affected by the International Tax Reform. Size-wise, because it is controlled by Coop Alleanza (the "ultimate parent entity" or UPE), the Group is affected by the new Pillar Two Model Rules. With support from its consultants, the UPE has used 2022 data (with the final figures for 2023 not yet available) to determine the perimeter of application and the potential impact of the new rules on the jurisdictions falling within its scope of consolidation, including through use of the transitional safe harbours applicable to the three-year period 2024-2026 as allowed by the OECD guidelines. On the basis of those analyses, the new rules are not expected to have an impact on the Company or the Group, since the safe harbour – routine profit test is fully applicable. b) IFRS and IFRIC accounting standards, amendments, and interpretations endorsed by the European Union loss relating to the retained right of use. They are effective from 1 January 2024 but early adoption is permitted. The directors do not expect the amendments to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. c) IFRS accounting policies, amendments and interpretations not yet endorsed by the European Union as of 31 December 2023 As of the reporting date, the EU authorities had not yet finished the endorsement process necessary for the adoption of the following amendments and standards. > On 25 May 2023 the IASB published "Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements." The document requires disclosures on reverse factoring agreements that allow users of financial statements to assess how supplier finance arrangements affect an entity's liabilities and cash flows and to understand the effect of supplier finance arrangements on the entity's exposure to liquidity risk. The changes are effective from 1 January 2024 but early adoption is permitted. The directors do not expect the amendments to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements;
ts to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current" and on 31 October 2022 it published "Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Non-current Liabilities with Covenants." These amendments clarify how to classify payables and other liabilities as current or non-current. They also improve the required disclosures when an entity's right to defer the settlement of a liability for at least twelve months is subject to compliance with certain parameters (i.e. covenants). The amendments come into force on 1 January 2024; early adoption is permitted. The directors do not expect them to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements;
> On 22 September 2022, the IASB published "Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback." The amendments require the seller-lessee to determine the lease liability arising from a sale & leaseback transaction in a way that does not recognize a gain or
The following IFRS accounting standards, amendments and interpretations have been endorsed by the European Union but are not yet effective and were not early adopted by the Group as of 31 December 2023: > On 23 January 2020, the IASB published "Amendmen-> On 15 August 2023 the IASB published "Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability." The amendments require an entity to use a consistent method to assess whether a currency can be exchanged for another, and if it cannot, how to determine the exchange rate to be used and what disclosures to make in the notes to the financial statements. They are effective from 1 January 2025 but early adoption is permitted. The directors do not expect them to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements have been drawn up on the basis of the draft financial statements at 31 December 2023, prepared by the directors of the consolidated companies and adjusted, where necessary, to align them with the Group's IFRS-compliant accounting and classification policies. With respect to 31 December 2022, the scope of consolidation has changed due to the absorption of the subsidiary Igd Management Siinq S.p.A. by the parent company, IGD SIIQ S.p.A., on 1 October 2023 with effect for statutory and tax purposes from 1 January 2023.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the parent company, IGD SIIQ S.p.A., its direct and indirect subsidiaries, and its associates at 31 December 2023. The subsidiaries' and associates' accounts are prepared each year using the same accounting standards as the parent. The main consolidation methods used to prepare the consolidated financial statements are as follows: from its operations; > Subsidiaries are consolidated on a line-by-line basis, aggregating all financial statement items in full, regardless of the interest held. Only for the determination of net equity and net profit (loss) is the minority interest, if any, shown separately in the statement of financial position and the income statement;
rectly or indirectly, to influence a company's financial and managerial policies in such a way as to obtain benefits
> Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control is effectively transferred to the Group, and cease to be consolidated from the date control is transferred outside the Group; control exists when the Group has the power, di-> The carrying value of equity investments is eliminated against the assumption of their assets and liabilities; > All intercompany assets, liabilities, income and losses,

including unrealized profits deriving from transactions between Group companies, are completely eliminated;
> The financial statements of all IGD SIIQ Group companies that use a functional currency other than that used in the consolidated statements are translated into euros as follows:
> The assets and liabilities of each statement of financial position submitted are translated at the exchange rates in force on the reporting date;
> The revenue and costs of each income state ment are converted at the average exchange ra tes for the period;
> All exchange gains and losses arising from this process are shown in the translation reserve un der net equity.
> Equity investments in joint ventures and associates are consolidated using the equity method. As such, the investment is initially carried at cost, which is then adjusted upward or downward to reflect changes in net equity after purchase. If an investment is classified as a joint venture or associate due to loss of control, it is initially carried at fair value, which is then adjusted upward or downward to reflect changes in net equity after the date control was lost. The adjustments are taken to the income statement in proportion to the Group's share of the company's profit or loss, taking into account any impact of preference shares or quotas held by third parties.
> Controlling investments that are outside the scope of consolidation, namely the consortiums mentioned above, are valued at cost.
Intangible assets are recognized at cost when they are identifiable and controllable and it is likely that use of the asset will generate future economic benefits and when its cost can be reliably determined. Intangible assets acquired through business combinations are recognized at the market value defined as of the acquisition date, if that value can be reliably determined.
After their initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost. The useful life of intangible assets can be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are subject to impairment testing each year, or more frequently, whenever there is any indication of impairment. Further to such testing, if the recoverable value of an asset is less than its book value, the latter is reduced to recoverable value. This reduction constitutes an impairment loss, which is immediately posted to the income statement. An asset's recoverable value is the higher of its net sale value or value in use. Value in use is the present value of expected cash flows generated by the asset. In order to assess losses in value, assets are aggregated to the lowest cash generating unit, i.e. the lowest level for which independent cash flows can be separately identified. In the case of an indicator implying recovery of the value lost, the asset's recoverable value is re-determined and the book value is increased to that new value. However, the increase in book value can never exceed the net book value that the fixed asset would have had if no impairment had occurred.
Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. This requires the recognition at market value of the identifiable assets (including intangible assets previously not recognized) and identifiable liabilities (including contingent liabilities but excluding future restructuring) of the entity acquired. Transaction costs are recognized as soon as they are incurred.
Goodwill acquired in a business combination, which in the separate financial statements is incorporated into the value of the investment acquired, is calculated as the excess of the total consideration transferred, minority interests in net equity and the fair value of any previously held interest in the company over the acquisition-date fair value of the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If the acquisition-date fair value of the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, minority interests in net equity and the fair value of any previously held interest in the acquiree, the excess is recognized immediately as income arising from the transaction.
Minority interests in net equity, as of the acquisition date, can be measured at fair value or as a pro-quota proportion of the value of the net assets recognized for the acquiree. This choice is made on a case-by-case basis.
Any contingent consideration provided for in the acquisition agreement is measured at its acquisition-date fair value, and included in the value of the consideration transferred in the business combination for the purpose of determining goodwill. Subsequent changes in fair value that qualify as adjustments arising during the measurement period are included in goodwill retrospectively. Such changes are those caused by additional information, obtained during the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the business combination), regarding facts
and circumstances that existed on the acquisition date.
Business combinations occurring before 1 January 2010 are reported according to the previous version of IFRS 3.
In the case of business combinations achieved in stages, the interest previously held by the Group is remeasured at fair value as of the date control is acquired, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the income statement. Any amounts deriving from the previously held interest and reported in other comprehensive income or losses are reclassified to profit or loss as if the interest had been sold. After first-time recognition, goodwill is decreased by accumulated impairment losses, determined as described below. year, or more frequently in the case of events or changes in circumstances that may indicate impairment.

If the initial values of a business combination are incomplete at the end of the financial period in which it occurred, in the consolidated financial statements the Group uses provisional amounts for those elements that cannot be measured in full. The provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period to take account of new information on facts and circumstances existing on the acquisition date which, if known, would have affected the acquisition-date value of the assets and liabilities recognized. The recoverable amount of goodwill is determined each pairment is identified through tests based on the ability of each cash generating unit to produce cash flows suitable for recovering the portion of goodwill that has been allocated to it, following the procedures specified in the section on intangible assets. If the amount recoverable by the cash generating unit is lower than the carrying value attributed, then an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses on goodwill cannot be reversed in subsequent years. In the absence of trigger events, goodwill impairment tests are normally conducted once a year at 31 December.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the acquirer's individual cash generating units or to the groups of cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, regardless of whether other assets or liabilities are assigned to those units or groups of units. Each unit or group of units to which goodwill is so allocated: rent while appreciating in value over time. Investment property is initially recognized at cost, including transaction expenses (as well as borrowing costs, where applicable), and is subsequently measured at fair value with changes reported in the income statement.
translation differences and goodwill is recognized in profit or loss.
> Represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes; Any work on the properties is added to their carrying value only if it is likely to produce future economic benefits and if the cost can be reliably determined. Other maintenance and repair costs are recognized in the income statement when incurred.
> When goodwill is part of a cash generating unit or group of cash generating units and the Group disposes of an operation within that unit, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. The goodwill transferred under these circumstances is measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash generating unit retained. If the disposal concerns a subsidiary, the difference between the sale price and net assets plus accumulated from this expenditure. The market value of properties includes the value of their plant and machinery, as well as goodwill acquired. Investment property is derecognized on disposal, or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses from the withdrawal or disposal of investment property are recognized to profit or loss in the period in which the withdrawal or disposal takes place. The property portfolio is valued twice a year with assistance from independent experts, who have recognized professional

profit and loss throughout the useful life of the tangible asset by means of depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the asset's estimated useful life, as follows: 4.6.2.8 // Equity investments For information on the accounting treatment of equity investments, see section 4.6.2.2 b - Consolidation methods.
When an asset is sold or when its use is no longer expected to produce future economic benefits, it is derecognized and any loss or gain (calculated as the difference between the sale value and carrying value) is taken to profit or loss the year the asset is eliminated.
The Group classifies financial assets on the basis of the business model used to manage them and the characteristics of the contractual cash flows. Depending on these conditions, financial assets are then valued at:
In measuring value in use, the discount rate used should be the pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate sufficiently independent cash flows, the value is determined in relation to the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment is charged to the income statement as depreciation. Impairment is reversed if the reasons cease to apply. 4.6.2.11 // Inventory Inventory is measured at the lower of cost and market value (which corresponds to fair value net of selling costs). The cost of inventory includes all purchase, transformation and other costs incurred to bring the inventory to its present location and condition. Given the nature of the Group's inventory, the specific cost method is used.
Management makes an irrevocable classification upon first-time recognition of the assets.
Other non-current assets consist of deferred tax assets, financial assets relating to derivatives, and miscellaneous.
Receivables are initially recognized at amortized cost, which coincides with face value, and are subsequently reduced for any impairment. For trade receivables, an impairment provision is made when there is an objective
qualifications and up-to-date knowledge of the properties' rental situation and characteristics.
Assets under construction, consisting of deposits and advance payments, are valued at cost. For land and accessory works on which investment property will be developed, once the building permits are obtained and/or the urban planning agreements signed, and once the procedure for obtaining administrative permits is completed and construction is underway, fair value can be reliably determined and the fair value method is therefore used. Until that time, the asset is recognized at cost, which is compared with recoverable amount at each reporting date in order to determine any loss in value. When construction or development of an investment property is completed, it is restated to "investment property."
IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. an exit price). The fair value of investment property in accordance with IFRS 13 must reflect, among other things, rental income from current leases and other reasonable and supportable assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset under current market conditions.
An asset is subject to impairment testing whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value cannot be fully recovered. If the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is written down to reflect the impairment. An asset's recoverable value is the higher of its net sale value or value in use. Receivables and other financial assets other than derivatives, to be held until maturity, are recognized at cost which corresponds to the fair value of the initial consideration paid plus transaction costs. The initial value recognized is subsequently adjusted to take account of the reimbursement of principal, any impairment losses, and amortization of the difference between the redemption value and the initial carrying value. Amortization is charged at the effective interest rate, corresponding to the rate which, upon first-time recognition, makes the present value of projected cash flows equal to the initial carrying amount (amortized cost method).

As stated in paragraph 27 of IFRS 13, a fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The highest and best use of a non-financial asset takes into account the use of the asset that is physically possible, legally permissible and financially feasible. Specifically:
> A use that is physically possible takes into account the physical characteristics of the asset that market participants would take into account when pricing the asset (e.g. the location or size of a property);
> A use that is legally permissible takes into account any legal restrictions on the use of the asset that market participants would take into account when pricing the asset (e.g. the zoning regulations applicable to a property);
> A use that is financially feasible takes into account whether a use of the asset that is physically possible and legally permissible generates adequate income or cash flows (taking into account the costs of converting the asset to that use) to produce an investment return that market participants would require from an investment in that
asset put to that use.
Highest and best use is determined from the perspective of market participants. An entity's current use of a non-financial asset is presumed to be its highest and best use unless market or other factors suggest that a different use by market participants would maximize the value of the asset.
The Group holds operating leases for two malls at the Centro Nova and Fonti del Corallo shopping centers which are in turn leased to third parties, and for a parking area pertinent to the Centro d'Abruzzo shopping center.
In accordance with IFRS 16, upon signing a new operating lease of a significant amount and with a duration of more than one year, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset of the same amount as the lease liability. The right-of-use asset is accounted for under property, plant and equipment ("investment property") and subject to independent appraisal to determine its fair value. At the end of each reporting period, the change in fair value is reported separately in the income statement.
To determine the fair value of every asset held under operating leases, the independent experts discount to present value the cash flows expected in the years covered by the lease. Unlike traditional real estate appraisals, the terminal value at the end of the explicit period is not considered.
The Group takes the exemption permitted by IFRS 16:5 (a) for short-term leases. Likewise, the Group opts for the exemption permitted by IFRS 16:5 (b) with respect to leases for which the underlying asset qualifies as low-value. For these contracts, the lease installments continue to be recognized in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Plant, machinery and equipment that are owned by IGD and are not attributable to investment property are recognized at cost, less commercial discounts and rebates, considering directly attributable expenses as well as an initial estimate of the cost of dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site where it was located. Costs incurred after purchase are capitalized only if they increase the future economic benefits expected of the asset. All other costs (including financial expenses directly attributable to the purchase, construction or production of the asset) are recognized to profit or loss when incurred. The capitalized charge is recognized to

indication (e.g. the likelihood of insolvency or significant financial problems for the debtor) that the Company will not be able to recover all amounts due under the original terms and conditions. The carrying amount of the receivable is reduced by means of a separate provision. Impaired receivables are written off when they are found to be irrecoverable.
Commercial discounts on periods for which the revenue has already accrued are accounted for as forgiveness on the basis of IFRS 9, provided that no further contractual changes are negotiated with the customer. In these cases the receivable is reversed in the amount of the discount granted, with immediate effect on the income statement under "other operating costs", where losses on receivables are recognized.
Cash and cash equivalents are recognized, depending on their nature, at face value or amortized cost. Cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, with an original maturity of no more than three months.
These consist mainly of financial assets held to maturity. Because under the Group's standard business model they are held for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows, they are initially valued at cost, and subsequently at amortized cost. Their value is reduced in consideration of expected losses, using information available without unreasonable effort or expense, that includes past events and current and prospective data. Such impairment losses are recognized in the income statement, as are any impairment reversals.
Assets and liabilities held for sale are those whose value will be recovered principally through sale as opposed to use. This category applies when the sale is considered to be highly likely and the assets and liabilities are available for sale immediately in their present condition. Such assets are recognized at the lower of cost and fair value net of costs to sell.
Any liabilities relating to business divisions held for sale are accounted for separately under liabilities associated with assets held for sale.
Any impairment losses recognized via application of this policy are recognized in the income statement, both in the case of write-down for alignment with fair value and in that of gains and losses stemming from subsequent changes in fair value.
Financial liabilities consist of borrowings, trade payables and other payables.
They are initially recognized at cost, corresponding to fair value including transaction costs; subsequently, they are carried at amortized cost which corresponds to their initial value, net of principal reimbursed, and adjusted upward or downward for the amortization of any differences between initial value and value at maturity (using the effective interest method). If payment estimates are revised, with the exception of lease liabilities, the adjustment is recognized in the income statement.
Lease liabilities as of the start date of the lease are calculated as the present value of payments due, discounted to present value using the implied interest rate or, where this cannot be easily termined, the marginal financing rate. The payments included in the computation of lease liabilities are: (a) fixed payments; b) variable payments linked to an index or rate; (c) amounts expected to be paid to guarantee the remaining balance; (d) the exercise price of any purchase option, if the duration of the lease takes this into account; and e) any penalties for termination of the lease, if the duration takes this into account.
After the start date, lease liabilities are adjusted for: (a) financial charges recognized in the income statement; b) payments made to the lessor; and (c) any new assessments or changes in the lease agreement or revised assumptions regarding payments due.
General provisions cover liabilities of a definite nature that are certain or likely to arise, but whose amount or timing were unknown at the close of the year. Provisions are recognized when they cover a present obligation (legal or constructive) that stems from a past event, if settlement of the obligation will likely involve an outflow in an amount that can be reliably estimated. The provision covers the best estimate of the amount the company would pay to settle the obligation or transfer it to third parties at the close of the financial period. If the effect is significant, provisions are determined by discounting projected cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money. When cash flows are discounted, the increase in the provision due to the passing of time is recorded as a financial charge.
> Rent and business lease revenue;
Rental income and business lease revenue from the Group's freehold and leasehold properties is recorded on an accruals basis, according to the rental and leasing contracts in force. Variable rent is recognized in the income statement when the event or circumstance triggering a payment comes to pass.
Employee termination indemnities, which are mandatory for Italian companies pursuant to Law 297/1982 (trattamento di fine rapporto or TFR), qualify as defined benefit plans and are based, among other factors, on employees' working lives and on the compensation they receive during a pre-determined period of service. The liability for a defined benefit plan, net of any assets servicing the plan, is determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions and is recognized on an accruals basis consistently with the amount of service required to receive the benefits; the liability is valued by independent actuaries. Gains and losses arising from the actuarial calculation are taken to a specific reserve in the statement of comprehensive income under "other comprehensive income." The Group does not offer compensation in the form of share-based payments, as employees do not render services in exchange for shares or options on shares. In addition, the Group does not offer employee incentive plans in the form of share participation instruments. 4.6.2.18 // Revenue Revenue is recognized to the extent the Group is likely to enjoy the economic benefits and the amount can be Interest income and expense is recorded on an accruals basis with reference to the net value of the financial assets and liabilities concerned, using the effective interest rate. 4.6.2.21 // Income taxes a) Current taxes Current tax liabilities for the present and previous years are measured as the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and laws used to calculate that amount are those that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Other taxes not related to income, such as those on property and capital, are booked to operating expenses. In calculating taxes for the year, the Company took into due account the IAS rules introduced by Law 244 of 24 December 2007, in particular the reinforced principle of derivation established by Art. 83 of the Italian Tax Code. According to that principle, entities that have adopted the international accounting standards should follow the IAS criteria for qualification, temporal allocation, and classification in the financial statements even if they depart from Italian GAAP.
> Service income;
Service income is recorded with reference to the state of completion of the transaction and only when the outcome of the service can be reliably estimated.
> Revenue from property sales.
Revenue from property sales is recognized in profit or loss upon transfer of ownership or, for lease-to-own agreements, when the property is delivered.

reliably determined. It is shown at the market value of the consideration received, net of discounts, rebates and taxes. The following recognition criteria must always be satisfied before revenue is posted to the income statement. For IRES (corporate income tax) purposes, the Company consolidates taxation in Italy with its main subsidiaries.
Deferred taxes are calculated on temporary differences existing at the reporting date between the value of assets and liabilities for tax purposes and the value reported in the statement of financial position.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized on all taxable temporary differences, except when they derive from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized, except when the deferred tax asset associated with deductible temporary differences derives from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). The carrying value of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each
balance sheet date, and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are also reviewed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on current tax rates and those in effect or substantively in effect by the balance sheet date, and considering the manner in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Income taxes relating to items that are credited or charged directly to equity are also charged or credited directly to equity and not to profit or loss.
As required by IAS 33 (paragraph 66), the income statement presents the basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share for profit or loss from continuing operations attributable to the equity holders of IGD SIIQ S.p.A. The information is provided on the basis of consolidated figures only, as provided for by IAS 33.
Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of IGD SIIQ S.p.A. by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, in accordance with paragraphs 19 and 26, plus the weighted average number of shares that would be issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. Dilutive potential ordinary shares shall be deemed to have been converted into ordinary shares at the beginning of the period or, if later, the date of the issue of the potential ordinary shares.
A financial asset (or, where applicable, part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when:
> The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
> The Group still has the right to receive cash flows from
the asset, but has a contractual obligation to pay these immediately and in full to a third party;
> The Group has transferred the right to receive cash flows from the asset and (a) has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
If the Group has transferred the right to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards or has not lost control of the asset, then the asset is recognized to the extent of the Group's continuing involvement. Continuing involvement, which takes the form of a guarantee on the transferred asset, is recognized at the lower of the initial carrying value of the asset and the maximum amount that the Group could be required to pay.
A financial liability is derecognized when the underlying obligation is expired, canceled or discharged. Where there has been an exchange between an existing borrower and lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms, or there has been a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability, this transaction is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability, with any differences between carrying values recognized in profit or loss.
IGD's functional and reporting currency is the euro. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially translated at the exchange rate in force on the transaction date. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate in force on the last day of the year and the related exchange gains and losses are recognized in the income statement. Any net gain that arises flows into a reserve that cannot be distributed until the gain is realized.
The Group holds derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging its exposure to the risk of interest rate changes affecting specific recognized liabilities. In accordance with IFRS 9, derivative financial instruments used for hedging qualify for hedge accounting only if:
a) At the inception of the hedge there is formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship;
b) The hedge is expected to be highly effective;
c) The effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured;
d) The hedge is highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which it was designated.
All derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value. When the financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting, the following rules apply:
financial instrument are recognized directly to profit or loss.
A company with SIIQ (Società di Investimento Immobiliare Quotata) status, applicable to the parent company since 1 January 2008, can exclude rental income and the equivalent for the purposes of IRES (corporate income tax) and IRAP (regional business tax) (see also section 2.8 of the Directors' report to Gruppo IGD's consolidated
Cash flow hedge - If a financial instrument is designated as a hedge against exposure to variations in the cash flows of a recognized asset or liability or a forecast transaction that is highly probable, the effective portion of the gain or loss from remeasuring the instrument at fair value is recognized in a separate equity reserve. The cumulative gain or loss is reversed from the equity reserve and transferred to profit or loss the same year that the effects of the hedged transaction are recognized in profit or loss. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized in profit or loss. If a hedging instrument is closed but the hedged transaction has not yet taken place, the cumulative gains and losses remain in the equity reserve and are restated to profit or loss when the transaction is realized or when a loss in value occurs. If the transaction is no longer expected to occur, the unrealized gains or losses still recognized in the equity reserve are immediately reclassified to profit or loss. If hedge accounting does not apply, the gains or losses arising from measurement at fair value of the derivative well as those typical of operations considered to be equivalent. Likewise, revenue and costs stemming from the company's remaining activities have been allocated to taxable operations. Due to changes to the SIIQ rules introduced by Law 164 of 11 November 2014 ("Conversion into law, with amendments, of Decree 133 of 12 September 2014"), capital gains and losses on rental properties (whether realized or implicit in fair value measurements) are also included in exempt operations. In accordance with paragraph 121 of Law 296/06 and with the clarifications contained in Revenue Office Circular 8/E of 7 February 2008, general, administrative and financial costs that cannot be directly attributed to exempt or taxable operations or allocated on the basis of objective parameters have been split according to the ratio of exempt revenue/income/dividends to total revenue/income/dividends.
and the equivalent ("taxable operations").
Therefore, income from taxable operations has been
subject to the standard rules of computation, while the SIIQ rules have been followed for income from exempt operations.
To determine the results of separate operations, subject to different accounting and tax treatment in accordance with paragraph 121 of Law 296/06, IGD SIIQ S.p.A. has kept separate accounts for exempt rental operations and taxable marginal operations.
Income from exempt operations therefore include revenue and costs typical of the property rental business, as
financial statements). At 31 December 2023, as at the end of previous years, IGD satisfied both the "asset test" and the "profit test" required to retain SIIQ status. In accordance with the SIIQ rules, the company does maintain marginal operations other than property rental Likewise, the costs common to package deals as a whole (such as shopping center promotion and advertising costs) have been allocated to exempt and taxable operations in the same proportions used for rent. In this specific case, such a policy was thought to be more reliable and objective than an allocation based on the company's total revenue. Since these costs relate directly to the package deals and not to IGD's operations as a whole, their correlation with contractual fees is immediate and objective.
As for properties (owned or held on the basis of other corporeal rights) forming part of rental package deals, the accurate and objective determination of the portion of fees pertaining to the real estate component has been ensured by making the exempt/taxable allocation on the basis of an expert appraisal to quantify the fair value of fees at each property that pertain to rent.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and notes in accordance with IFRS requires Management to follow accounting policies and methods that in some cases depend on difficult subjective quantifications and estimates based on past experience, and assumptions that are considered reasonable and realistic on a case-by-case basis. These affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the reporting date. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis and any changes are reflected immediately in profit or loss. Because assumptions about future performance are highly uncertain, actual results may differ from those forecast, and may require sizable adjustments that cannot presently be foreseen or estimated.
The critical valuation processes and key assumptions used by management in the process of applying IFRS that may significantly impact the amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements or that may in the future lead to material differences with respect to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are summarized below.
The real estate portfolio is appraised twice a year, at 30 June and 31 December, by independent external firms selected on the basis of the following criteria: (i) recognized European-level qualifications, (ii) specialized expertise in the retail segment, and (iii) reputability and independence. The selection of the independent appraisers is by resolution of the Board of Directors.
In line with recommendations from the supervisory authorities and the various industry best practices, the company has long followed a specific procedure that governs the rules for selecting independent appraisers and handling the information flows used in the process of assessing the properties' fair value.
To appraise the real estate portfolio at 31 December 2023, the following independent firms were selected: (i) CBRE Valuation S.p.A., (ii) Kroll Advisory S.p.A., (iii) Cushman & Wakefield LLP, and (iv) Jones Lang LaSalle S.p.A. Given their specialized expertise in the retail segment, IGD believes that the findings and assumptions used by the independent appraisers are representative of the market.
The properties in the portfolio are appraised individually, using for each one the appraisal techniques specified below in accordance with IFRS 13.
According to IFRS 13, an entity shall use valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. Fair value is measured on the basis of observable transactions in an active market, and is adjusted, if necessary, to take account of the specific characteristics of the individual real estate investment. If that information is not available, to determine the fair value of an investment property, the company uses the discounted cash flow method (over a variable period of time depending on the duration of outstanding leases) relating to the future net rental income from the property. At the end of that period it is assumed that the property will be sold at a value obtained by capitalizing the final year's rental income at an applicable market rate of return for similar investments.
The appraisal methods used, as specified in the individual certificates, are as follows:
> For malls and retail parks, offices, hypermarkets and supermarkets: discounted cash flow (DCF) method based on net rental income for the next n years. According to this method, at the end of the given period it is assumed that the property will be sold at a value obtained by capitalizing the final year's net rental income at an applicable market rate of return for similar investments;
> For construction in progress (extensions and new constructions): transformation method, based on the discounting of future rental income for the property net of construction costs through to completion and other expenses.
With the DCF method, the market value of an investment property is the sum of the present values of the net cash flows it will generate for a number of years depending on the duration of the outstanding contracts. During the period, when the contracts expire, the rent used to compute revenue is replaced with the estimated rental value (ERV) determined by the appraiser, taking account of the contractual rent received, so that in the final year of the DCF revenue consists entirely of ERV. At the end of the period it is assumed that the property will be sold at a value obtained by capitalizing the final year's rental income at an applicable market rate (gross cap out rate) for similar investments.
With the transformation method, the market value of a property in the planning or construction phase is calculated by discounting the future income from renting the property, net of construction and other costs to be inIn both methods based on the discounting of future income, the key elements are: 1) The amount of net cash flow: a) For finished properties: rent received less property costs;
b) For construction in progress: estimated future rent less
b) For construction in progress: construction costs come before future rental income.
3) The discount rate.
4) The gross cap out rate.
curred, for a number of years depending on the duration of plans. At the end of the period it is assumed that the property will be sold at a value obtained by capitalizing the final year's rental income at an applicable market rate (gross cap out rate) for similar investments. > The division of responsibilities for insurance and maintenance between the lessor and the lessee; > The remaining economic life of the property.
2) Assumptions used by the independent appraisers, such as inflation, discount rates, cap out rates and ERVs, determined through their own professional judgment upon careful observation of the market. The following are taken into account when determining the capitalization and discounting rates used to value individual properties:
construction costs and property costs. 2) The distribution of cash flows over time: a) For finished properties: generally even distribution over time; Disclosures on the fair value hierarchy are provided below in accordance with IFRS 13. The fair value hierarchy classifies into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. It gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). Specifically:
In appraising the different types of properties in the real estate portfolio, the independent experts base their considerations primarily on: 1) Information received from IGD SIIQ, as follows: > Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:
(i) For finished properties: data on the rental status of each unit in each shopping center, as specified in the Company's internal procedure; property taxes; insurance and operating costs for the shopping centers; and any likely incremental costs; (a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active;
The information provided by IGD to the independent appraisers and the latters' assumptions and appraisal methods are approved by the head of Real Estate Development and Management, who is responsible for organizing and coordinating the appraisal and for monitoring and verifying results before they are incorporated into the financial statements. The entire process is governed in detail by IGD SIIQ's internal procedure.
(ii) For construction in progress: the start and end dates of the work, the status of building permits and authorizations, remaining costs, the state of progress, the ribbon-cutting date and projected rentals; (c) Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, for example: (i) Interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals;
> The type of tenant currently occupying the property or responsible for complying with rental obligations and the possible future occupants of vacant properties, as well as the market's general perception of their creditworthiness; Gruppo IGD's real estate portfolio has been measured according to Level 3 fair value models as the inputs direct-
> Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
(ii) Implied volatilities; and
(iii) Credit spreads;
(d) Market-corroborated inputs.
> Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

ly and indirectly unobservable in the market, used in the valuation models, are greater than the observable inputs.
The following table shows Gruppo IGD's investment property by type, measured at fair value at 31 December 2023. It does not include construction in progress (Porto Grande expansion, listed with assets under construction), which is measured at the lower of cost and appraised market value as opposed to fair value.
The unobservable inputs used to appraise the real estate portfolio (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy) are as follows:
The unobservable inputs that IGD SIIQ considers most meaningful are the discount rate and the gross cap out rate, as the sensitivity analysis has shown that any change in those values would have a significant impact on fair value.
The following table shows the ranges of unobservable inputs at 31 December 2023:

The discount rates increased for all property classes due to the higher inflation rate used in the DCFs and estimated by the appraisal firms. and/or gross cap out rate), as a result of macroeconomic trends, would have on the value of its portfolio.
The Group conducts periodic sensitivity analyses on its properties to monitor the impact that changes ("shocks") in the most important unobservable inputs (discount rate Rate shocks of +/-0.5% are tested individually and jointly to determine how they increase/decrease the value of the real estate portfolio by asset class. The sensitivity analysis at 31 December 2023 is reported below.

Regarding the sensitivity of fair value measurements to changes in the main unobservable inputs, fair value would go down for increases in the discount rate and gross cap out rate.
Other variables that could reduce fair value are:
> An increase in operating costs and/or taxes;
> A decrease in rent or in estimated rental value for vacant space;
> An increase in estimated extraordinary charges.
Conversely, fair value would go up if these variables changed in the opposite direction.
The recoverable amount of goodwill is determined each year, or more frequently in the case of events or changes in circumstances that may indicate impairment. Impairment is identified through tests based on the ability of each cash generating unit to produce cash flows suitable for recovering the portion of goodwill that has been allocated to it, following the procedures specified in the section on intangible assets. See note 13 ("Goodwill") for further information.
On the basis of the fund regulations, the recoverable amount of IGD's investment in the "Fondo Juice" real estate investment fund is strictly correlated with fair value and with the sale value of the property investments managed.
The Group has deferred tax assets on deductible temporary differences and theoretical tax benefits for losses carried forward. In estimating recoverable value, the Group considered the results of the business plan in keeping with those used for impairment testing.
The fair value of interest rate swaps for which no active market exists is determined according to market-based quantitative techniques, i.e. accredited pricing models based on parameters taken as of the individual measurement dates, also with support from external consultants. This method therefore reflects a prioritization of the input data consistent with level 2 of the fair value hierarchy defined by IFRS 13: although quoted prices in active markets (level 1) are not available for these instruments, it is possible to base measurements on data observable either directly or indirectly in the market.
Variable revenue at 31 December is determined on the ba-
sis of annual earnings reports from the individual tenants, if available, and otherwise on the basis of monthly reports.
The provision for doubtful accounts reflects estimated losses on receivables. Management closely monitors the quality of the receivables portfolio and the current and prospective conditions of the economy and IGD's markets. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis and any changes are reflected in the income statement of the pertinent year.
The Group recognizes a liability for pending disputes and legal actions when it believes that a financial outlay is likely and when the amount of the resulting losses can be reasonably estimated. If a financial outlay becomes possible but its amount cannot be determined, this is reported in the notes to the financial statements. The Group is involved in lawsuits and tax disputes concerning difficult, complex issues that present varying degrees of uncertainty, including with regard to the facts and circumstances of each case, matters of jurisdiction, and different applicable laws. Therefore, it is difficult to reach an accurate prediction of any outlays resulting from these disputes, and the provisions set aside for such matters may vary according to future developments.
The Group monitors the status of such litigation and consults with its attorneys and with experts in law and taxation.
IFRS 8 defines an operating segment as a component of an entity (i) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, (ii) whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity's chief operating decision maker, and (iii) for which discrete financial information is available. Given the nature of its activities, the Group has three main operating segments: core business properties, services, and trading. For a more in-depth description of the core real estate and services segments, see section 2.1.1. Information on the trading segment is provided in the Directors' Report with reference to the Porta a Mare project. These segments also represent the highest levels of performance analysis by Group management.

Other income from third parties was up by €501K, mainly due to:
> An increase of €315K in facility management revenue as a result of the ISTAT inflation adjustment;
Other income increased by €881K on the previous year, thanks primarily to facility management revenue. a positive ruling by the appellate court on a lawsuit regarding former employees of a tenant that had leased retail space from the Group at Conè shopping center;
> An increase of €359K in out-of-period income following
> A decrease of €74K in portfolio and rent management revenue.

Rent and business lease revenue increased by a total of €5,113K for the year. Variable contract revenue amounts to roughly 1.44% of the Group's total revenue.
Rent and business lease revenue from freehold malls, offices, and city center properties rose by €3,995K as a result of new openings and the ISTAT adjustment for inflation.
Rent from freehold hypermarkets and supermarkets decreased by €290K on the previous year, due mainly to agreements for the partial remapping of the hypermarkets at the Palermo, Catania, and Casilino shopping centers. Except for Coop Alleanza 3.0, the Group does not earn more than 10% of its revenue from a single client. For information on transactions with Coop Alleanza 3.0, see Note 38.
Further details of trends in revenue can be found in Section 2.2.1 (Income statement review) of the Directors' Report.
This refers to the Porta a Mare project and came to €6,245K in 2023: 1 residential unit and 1 enclosed garage unit in the Mazzini section, and 13 residential units, 13 enclosed garage units, and 2 parking spaces in the Officine section.

Service costs rose by €282K for the year.
Most of the increase in service costs from third parties (€3,463K) is explained by higher building management expenses due to unlet space and cost caps.
Related party service costs decreased by €3,181K, mostly as a result of the trend in building management expenses in relation to unlet space and cost caps.
The cost of labor went up by €680K, due mainly to a higher provision for performance bonuses and an increase in the number of employees.

Other operating costs decreased by €149K with respect to the previous year. Most of the decrease is due to (i) the reduction in IMU (municipal property tax), (ii) losses on receivables, (iii) capital losses, and (iv) other costs, partially offset by an increase in (v) registry tax on outstanding contracts and (vi) out-of-period expenses.

Overall income taxes, current and deferred, were in line with the previous year at a positive €31K.
Current taxes increased by €71K due mostly to the improved profit margins of Group companies.
The change in deferred taxes (€430K) is explained by: (i) adjustments reflecting the change in fair value of the investment property held by the non-SIIQ subsidiary Win Magazin S.A., and (ii) the effects of applying international accounting standard IFRS 16 to the lease agreement for

> NOTE 13) GOODWILL
Goodwill decreased by €437K, attributable chiefly to the Romanian subsidiary Win Magazin S.A. for the foreign
i. goodwill from the purchase of companies with investment property;
exchange adjustment. Goodwill has been allocated to the individual cash generating units (CGUs). The first category consists of goodwill from the purchase of Win Magazin S.A., while the second is made up of goodwill from the purchase of the business units Winmarkt Management S.r.l., Centro Nova, San Donà, Darsena, Service, and Fonti del Corallo.
ii. goodwill from the purchase of business units.
For each goodwill amount in the financial statements, the Group has indicated the pertinent CGU, distinguishing between: Below is the breakdown of goodwill by CGU at the end of 2023 and 2022:
| 01/01/2022 | Increase | Devaluation | Reclassification | 12/31/2022 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Goodwill | 7,585 | 0 | (500) | 0 | 7,085 |

| Goodwill | 7,085 | 0 | (437) | 0 | 6,648 |
Goodwill for Win Magazin refers to the purchase price allocation of the difference between the price paid and the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired with Win Magazin S.A. The recoverability of the goodwill allocated to this CGU has been analyzed on the basis of the property appraisals by CBRE Valuation S.p.A. and Kroll Advisory S.p.A. in accordance with the criteria described earlier in these notes ("use of estimates"). Specifically, this goodwill covers the possibility to sell properties owned by the subsidiary (through the equity investment) without incurring taxes. Therefore, recoverability derives from the tax savings that could be achieved from the investment's sale, and is measured on the basis of the deferred tax provision covering the higher book value of the property with respect to the tax-deductible amount.
| Goodwill | 12/31/2023 | 12/31/2022 |

| Impairment Test result | Recoverable Amount | Carrying Amount | Cover/ (Impairment) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Winmagazin S.A. | 15,559 | 3,972 | 11,587 |
The impairment tests showed that the goodwill recognized for Win Magazin S.A. is recoverable and therefore no adjustments to that amount are necessary.
Goodwill for the CGUs Fonti del Corallo, Centro Nova, Darsena, Service, and Winmarkt Management S.r.l. pertains to business management for properties owned by the Group and third parties, as well as services (facility management) provided at shopping centers owned by the Group and by third parties.
Specifically, for goodwill relating to the business units Fonti del Corallo, Centro Nova, and Darsena, the recoverable amount has been inferred from similar market transactions. For goodwill on Fonti del Corallo, value in use was adjusted to the amount stated in the contract with BNP Paribas for the sale of the retail licenses for the mall, to be finalized in 2026 when the current lease expires.
The results of impairment tests are summarized below:
The impairment tests showed that the goodwill recognized in the financial statements is recoverable and therefore no adjustments are necessary.
| Impairment Test result | Recoverable Amount | Carrying Amount | Cover/ (Impairment) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Centro Nova | 1,712 | 546 | 1,166 |
| Darsena | 793 | 123 | 670 |
| Fonti del Corallo | 1,000 | 1,000 | 0 |
For the "Service" CGU, the value in use method was used to assess recoverability. The recoverable amount (enterprise value) was calculated by summing the unlevered free cash flows discounted to present value for the explicit forecast period and the present value of the terminal value calculated after the last year of the explicit period.
At 31 December 2023, unlevered free cash flows were calculated using the data in the 2024 budget approved by the Board of Directors on 13 December 2023 and stationary projections for 2025 and 2026, developed – given the typical characteristics of the business – using assumptions consistent with the Group's track record and considering an increase as a result of indexing rent to inflation. Future cash flows were therefore estimated based on figures for 2024-2026, particularly EBITDA less estimated taxes and capital expenditure.
For periods beyond the third year, the Group calculates the terminal value using the perpetuity method, i.e. on the basis of cash flows from operating activities assuming continuity beyond the explicit period.
The main assumptions used to calculate value in use are set out below:
> Discount rate (WACC) of 6.80% (6.77% at 31 December 2022);
> Future cash flows as described above;
> Perpetuity growth rate (g) of 2% (unchanged since the previous year).
The results of the impairment test are summarized below:
| Impairment Test result | Recoverable Amount | Carrying Amount | Cover/ (Impairment) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Service | 30,864 | 1,012 | 29,852 |

praisals of the entire property portfolio.
The impairment test showed that the goodwill recognized in the financial statements is recoverable and therefore no adjustments are necessary. Good will for Winmarkt Management S.r.l. was not tested for impairment as the amount is immaterial. Because the Group's stock market capitalization is lower than consolidated net equity, the directors also arranged for a second-level impairment test even though equity is essentially in line with fair value, considering expert apty of goodwill for the "Service" CGU. Unlevered free cash flows were calculated using the data in the 2024 budget approved by the Board of Directors on 13 December 2023 and stationary projections for 2025 and 2026, developed – given the typical characteristics of the business – using assumptions consistent with the Group's track record and considering an increase as a result of indexing rent to inflation. Future cash flows were therefore estimated based on figures for 2024-2026, particularly EBITDA less estimated taxes and capital expenditure.
The method used to assess the recoverability of net invested capital is value in use, determined on the basis of unlevered free cash flow. The recoverable amount (enterprise value) was calculated by summing the unlevered free cash flows discounted to present value for the explicit forecast period and the present value of the terminal value calculated after the last year of the explicit period. For further information on the method of calculating recoverable amount, see above with regard to the recoverabiliset out below: > Discount rate (WACC) of 6.80% (6.77% as of 31 December 2022); > Future cash flows as described above; > Perpetuity growth rate (g) of 2% (unchanged since the previous year).
The main assumptions used to calculate value in use are
The outcome of the impairment test is summarized below:
| Impairment Test result | Recoverable Amount | Carrying Amount | Cover/ (Impairment) |
|---|---|---|---|
| IGD Group - II Level Test | 2,125,540 | 1,968,958 | 156,582 |
| 2,125,540 | 1,968,958 | 156,582 |
|---|---|---|
The test found no evidence of impairment.
In accordance with section 1.2.3. of the Organismo Italiano di Valutazione (OIV) document "Impairment tests of goodwill in contexts of real financial crisis," which states that "management must assess the reasonableness of the difference between the recoverable amount and the stock exchange price, in light of all elements that may help > Other valuation methods (value in use and fair value); > Liquidity of the shares; > Excessive market reaction to news or information.
explain such a difference," the main factors identified are reported below: > Management view and assumptions vs. broker consensus; > Inputs used to calculate value in use, in terms of cash flows, discount rates, and any key variables;
> Different horizons (the market has an investment horizon, hence short-term);
Finally, the Group ran sensitivity analyses to measure the impact that changes in the most significant unobservable inputs (WACC, growth rate, and cash flows), due to changes in the macroeconomic scenario, would have on the outcome of the second level impairment tests. An additional 0.4% increase in WACC, a 0.4% decrease in the growth rate, or an €8 million reduction in cash flows in both the explicit period and termal value would reduce the existing coverage to zero.
As required by IAS 40, the following table reconciles the opening and closing value of investment property, with increases, decreases, and changes in fair value shown separately.

> The reclassification (€38,556K) from assets under construction and advances of work completed during the period, namely (i) the Officine Storiche mixed-use complex, (ii) the restyling of Porto Grande shopping center in San Benedetto del Tronto, and (iii) the restyling (first lot) of Leonardo shopping center in Imola. Works performed during the year amounted to €9,940K;
> Fair value adjustments. Specifically, investment proper-
ty was revalued in the amount of €21,216K and written down by €145,679K on the basis of independent third-party appraisals, for a net negative impact of €124,463K;

Deferred tax assets and liabilities have been offset in accordance with paragraph 74 of IAS 12, given that: (i) the company is entitled to offset current tax assets and liabilities and (ii) the deferred tax assets and liabilities are associated with income taxes charged by the same tax jurisdiction. Net deferred tax assets reflect the deferred tax assets and liabilities of the Italian companies, while the deferred tax liabilities shown in the statement of financial position concern the Romanian subsidiary.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities for the Italian companies are shown in detail below:
Deferred tax assets mainly originate from:

| Total deferred tax liabilities | (2,260) | (3,537) | 1,277 |
ned by the increased taxation of mortgage hedging instruments (IRS) due to the increase in their negative fair value and the changes due to the application of IFRS 16.
Deferred tax liabilities refer mainly to the difference between the market value of investment property held by IGD Service and its value for tax purposes.
Given the likelihood of future taxable income for the Group in the short to medium term, as corroborated by taxable income earned in recent years, prior-year losses are expected to be used, so the deferred tax assets are likely to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities refer to the investment property of the Romanian company Win Magazin S.A. They cannot be offset against the net deferred tax assets described above because the two balances pertain to different tax jurisdictions.

Receivables are shown net of the provision for doubtful accounts, which reflects positions not considered to be fully recoverable.
Net allocations for doubtful accounts (performing, non-performing, and legal-action receivables) came to €440K in 2023. The allocation for the year was calculated based on the problems encountered with individual receivables recognized at 31 December 2023 and on all available information.
The use of €2,132K from the provision concerns doubtful accounts/problem credits identified in previous years that were fully written off during the period.

This item covers the non-current portion of liabilities arising from:
at Fonti del Corallo and Nova shopping centers and the parking lot at Centro d'Abruzzo.
The change in bonds during the year is due to:
> The early redemption in November 2023 of the €100 million bond due to mature in January 2024;
> The issue on 5 October 2023 of a €310 million non-subordinated, non-convertible senior bond. In this regard, IGD's Board of Directors approved (i) an offer to exchange the bond due on 28 November 2024 (ISIN XS2084425466) (the "Existing Notes") for the New Notes, subject to certain conditions; and (ii) a tender offer for the Existing Notes with the rule that a specified amount resulting from the buy-back would be reinvested in the purchase of New Notes. The exchange, tender, and consent solicitation period ran from 5 October 2023 to 10 November 2023. Holders of Existing Notes who accepted the exchange offer by 13 October 2023 exchanged their Existing Notes for a combination of (a) New Notes for an
> Mortgage loans The changes in 2023 reflect: > A five-year green secured facility of €250 million contracted on 9 May 2023 from a pool of major Italian and international banks, including Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. (Divisione IMI Corporate & Investment Banking), acting, among other capacities, as global coordinator, green coordinator, agent and lender; Gruppo MPS, through MPS Capital Services Banca per le Imprese S.p.A., acting, among other capacities, as global coordinator and lender; and Banca Nazionale del Lavoro S.p.A., Banco BPM S.p.A., Cassa depositi e prestiti S.p.A., Deutsche Bank S.p.A., BPER Banca S.p.A., and UniCredit S.p.A., acting, among other capacities, as lenders; of which €130 million was disbursed immediately and the remaining €120 million disbursed in November 2023 and partially used for the early redemption of the €100 million bond maturing in January 2024; > The reclassification to current financial liabilities of the principal falling due in the next 12 months. > Due to other sources of finance and for IFRS 16 > The lease for HQ premises; > The use of IFRS 16 to account for the leases on the malls amount equal to 90% of the nominal value of the Existing Notes exchanged, and (b) a cash payout for the residual portion. Under the reinvestment rule of the tender offer, the holders of Existing Notes who accepted the tender offer by 13 October 2023 received (a) 90% of their proceeds for the purchase of New Notes and (b) €32,178K in cash. The Existing Notes exchanged and repurchased by the Company were voided. The Existing Notes that were not exchanged and/or repurchased by the Company have been traded or admitted to trading on Euronext Dublin and Euronext Access Milan (formerly ExtraMot Pro). The exchange offer and the tender offer are part of a broader transaction that includes a consent solicitation process addressed to the holders of the Existing Notes. For this purpose, on 14 November 2023 the meeting of the Existing Notes holders approved various amendments to the terms and conditions of the Existing Notes, relating, in particular, to maturity, coupon and repurchase options, in order to align these provisions with the relevant terms and conditions of the New Notes. Moreover, the terms and conditions of the New Notes provide for certain undertakings by the Company, additional to and different from those that will be provided for the Existing Notes, including, inter alia, a freeze on dividends (or other forms of distributions) in excess of what is necessary to comply with the rules applicable to IGD SIIQ S.p.A. in its capacity as a listed real estate investment company. The New Notes will mature on 17 May 2027 and interest payments will increase over time, as follows:

Movements in the provision for employee severance indemnities are shown below:
The following charts show the demographic and financial assumptions used:
The provision qualifies as a defined benefit plan. In accordance with paragraph 83 of IAS 19, the annual discount rate used to calculate the present value of the liability is based on the iBoxx Corporate A index with duration 10+ as of the measurement date. Use of a discount rate based on the iBoxx Corporate AA 10+ would not have made a significant difference.

At 31 December 2023 this provision mostly concerned pending property tax disputes over the shopping centers La Torre in Palermo (mall + hypermarket), Le Maioliche in Faenza (mall), Esp in Ravenna (mall + hypermarket), and Guidonia (mall + hypermarket). The principal complaints against IGD SIIQ S.p.A. relate to: (i) the zoning classification of the shopping center itself (C/1 or D/8), (ii) the classification and valuation of the individual commercial units within the shopping center, (iii) the classification of the common areas of the shopping center, and (iv) the classification of the parking areas.
The Company is contesting the assessments received from the tax authorities and/or collection agencies and has decided to pay IMU (municipal property tax) based on the originally declared (pre- assessment) cadastral rent, while allocating provisions to cover the risks of these complaints, except in the case of Guidonia for which it was not possible to suspend payment of the new assessments.
Most of the increase for the year consists of an additional allocation against pending IMU/ICI (local property tax) disputes, which mainly concern new classifications and cadastral rent calculations for the shopping centers in Palermo, Ravenna, and Guidonia.
The bonus provision covers the variable compensation that will be paid to employees in 2024 on the basis of the Group's 2023 estimated results. The utilization refers to the payment made in the first half of 2023.
This provision also includes a long-term portion for upper management, paid every three years. The only movement in 2023 was an allocation, as the next payment date is in 2025.
These cover the risks arising from litigation in course and probable future expenses (€1,647K), and estimated end-of-term benefits for directors (€750K). The principal changes during the year were as follows:
> An allocation of €250K for an administrative dispute involving the subsidiary Win Magazin S.a.;

> A net allocation of €320K for earthquake proofing to be carried out, at IGD's expense, at various supermarkets and hypermarkets sold in 2021.
During the year, sundry payables and other non-current liabilities underwent the following changes:
Commitments to the City of Livorno concern the additional secondary urban infrastructure works as provided for by contract (€587K) and works to be delivered to Porta a Mare S.p.A. (€3,452K). As described earlier, the change for the year refers to works completed under the agreement. > A decrease in BNL extension fees due to the reclassification to current liabilities of the €312.5K extension fee that the Company will have to pay to BNP Paribas in 2024 in order to extend the duration of the €215 million loan to 2025. As of this writing, the Company believes an extension to both 2025 and 2026 is likely;
Advances due beyond one year refer to the advance from BNP Paribas under the agreement for the sale of the commercial licenses of the Fonti del Corallo mall, which will be finalized in 2026 when the current rental contract expires. > A decrease of €435K due to the reclassification to current liabilities of the fees payable to SACE in 2024 as consideration for the guarantees backing the (i) 5-year loan of €36,300K obtained in 2020 and the (ii) 6-year loan of €20,946K obtained in 2022;
> An increase in Intesa extension fees reflecting the €408K in total fees that IGD SIIQ S.p.A. will have to pay to Intesa SanPaolo in connection with the five-year, €250 million green secured facility contracted in May 2023; > A decrease of €215K in SIINQ entry tax payable, covering the non-current portion of the tax due for the adoption of SIINQ status by IGD Management, which took this option during the previous year. The SIINQ entry tax is paid in five annual installments starting in 2022.

The ratio worsened during the year, from 0.87 at 31 December 2022 to 0.97 at the end of 2023. Uncommitted credit facilities amount to €103 million: €53 As in previous years, net debt does not include other non-current liabilities described in Note 31, consisting mainly of security deposits received from third parties and related parties for the rental of hypermarkets and malls, guarantee deposits, extension fees payable, and tax liabilities, given the lack of a significant implicit or explicit financial component. In addition, as in previous years, it does not include assets and liabilities for derivative financial instruments which amounted to €2,364K and €3,854K, respectively.

> A reduction in unpaid dividends by €228K;
> A reduction in advances received from the subsidiary Porta Medicea against the sale of residential units in the Officine Storiche section of Porta a Mare; > A decrease in security deposits; > Partially offset by an increase in deferred income and in BNL extension fees due to the reclassification from non-current liabilities of the €312.5K extension fee that the Company will have to pay to BNP Paribas in 2024 in order to extend the duration of the €215 million loan to 2025.

In the course of business, the Group is exposed to various financial risks. To map and assess its risks, IGD SIIQ S.p.A. has developed an integrated risk management model based on the international Enterprise Risk Management standards (see section 2.12 of the Directors' Report). The Board of Directors reviews and agrees on policies to manage these risks. Market risk is the potential for changes in exchange rates, interest rates or prices to negatively affect the value of assets, liabilities or cash flows.
The Finance department monitors interest rate risk constantly, in coordination with top management, including
The main risk factor is the volatility of interest rates and the effect this has on borrowing and on the investment of liquid funds. The Company finances its operations through short-term borrowings, long-term secured and unsecured loans charging adjustable interest, and fixed-interest bonds, so it determines its risk of increased financial charges if interest rates go up or if it refinances debt at higher rates. The following table presents the sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk, showing the impact on equity and profit/ loss, as required by IFRS 7. The sensitivity analysis was conducted in consideration of the financial statement items that generate interest at floating rates or that are exposed to fair value changes, assuming parallel increases or decreases in the interest rate curves of each currency.
through analysis and measurement tools developed within the Group's enterprise risk management program. It also monitors trends in the main economic and financial indicators that may affect the Group's performance. Interest rate swaps hedge 73.76% of the Group's exposure to rate fluctuations on long-term loans, including bonds. The Finance department analyzes and measures interest rate and liquidity risk while constantly evaluating the best means of implementation of the risk management model, and conducts routine scouting activities to find opportunities to reduce the cost of debt with banks and/or the capital markets.
See Note 40 for quantitative information on derivatives.

The assumptions underlying the sensitivity analysis are as follows: > Ultra-short-term borrowings and deposits were analyzed according to exposure at the end of the year;
> The initial shift in the interest rate curve was assumed to be +100/-10 basis points (unchanged since the previous year);
> In determining changes associated with floating-rate financial instruments, it was assumed that no interest rates have already been set;
> The values affecting equity have been calculated as the difference between the fair values calculated with the shock-modified curve and the fair values of derivatives at the balance sheet date;
> The analysis assumes that all other risk variables remain constant.
> For the sake of comparison, the same measurement was conducted on 2023 and 2022.

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk for its operations in Romania. Fluctuations in the value of the RON could lead to the writedown of properties held or to the unsustainability of contractual obligations for local tenants, in the case of rent denominated in euros but collected in the local currency. At the moment, IGD mitigates this risk through constant efforts to optimize the merchandising mix and tenant mix and by supporting the value of the real estate portfolio, in part by making improvements. Weekly meetings are held to coordinate and monitor the credit situation of individual malls and tenants, to determine if any action is needed. On a monthly basis, the Company checks the amount of rent as a percentage of the tenant's revenue. Commercial policies are determined with care and with special regard for local consumption styles and market demands. To that end, the Group employs a team of specialized professionals to seek the right trade-off between the expertise acquired at the corporate level and knowledge of the local context.
The Group is exposed to the risk of changes in the rent charged on leasehold properties. The domestic and international real estate market is cyclical in nature and influenced by several macroeconomic variables, relating for example to general economic conditions, interest rates, inflation, tax laws, market liquidity, and the presence of other profitable investments.
Credit risk takes the form of customer insolvency and difficulty collecting payments. To mitigate these risks, tenants go through a pre-contractual selection process, based on financial standing and earnings prospects.
Reviews of potential customers are performed also with the help of external specialists and aim to identify any risk factors for the company. Monthly analyses investigate the level of risk associated with each tenant and monitor their solvency.
All customers are asked for bank guarantees and/or security deposits to guarantee fulfillment of their commitments. Throughout the life of the contract, the company monitors compliance on an ongoing basis, and follows internal credit management procedures in the event any problems arise; when the business relationship is secure, measures to assist the tenant may be taken. The Group constantly monitors its credit positions and uses an ad hoc program to assess each tenant's track record, risk level and solvency, an analysis that is formally conducted every quarter but monitored on a daily basis to stay abreast of the actions taken or needed to collect receivables.
The maximum credit risk on the Group's other financial assets, including cash and cash equivalents and certain derivative instruments, is the carrying value of these assets in the event of the counterparty's insolvency. The maximum exposure is presented gross of any mitigation through the use of various kinds of hedge.
The table below presents the maximum exposure to credit risk for balance sheet components, divided into categories, including derivatives with a positive fair value.
Where financial instruments are measured at fair value, the amounts shown represent current credit risk, but not the maximum exposure to credit risk that could arise in the future due to changes in fair value.
This refers to problems with liquidity management, insufficient resources to finance the business, and difficulty keeping up with loans or obtaining new credit. Liquidity is monitored through cash flow planning, and risk is mitigated by the Group's extensive credit lines (committed and uncommitted). See the directors' report for information on the coverage of upcoming financial maturities. Maturities are broken down below on the basis of undiscounted cash flows; the amounts shown take account of the first date on which payment can be requested. The assumptions underlying the maturity analysis are as follows:
Financial commitments are covered by funds confirmed by the banks, and unutilized credit facilities are available.
The Finance department uses a financial forecasting tool to monitor expected cash flows over a one-quarter rolling horizon and makes sure there is enough liquidity to operate the business, while establishing the proper ratio of bank debt to capital market debt. payables, the forward rate curve at 31 December has been used; > For the future cash flows of the fixed-rate bonds, the contractual flows have been used;
Liquidity risk is managed prudently to avoid incurring excessive costs in the case of unforeseen events, which could have a further negative impact on market reputation and financial viability.
Most long-term loans and outstanding bonds involve covenants; this aspect is monitored constantly by the chief financial officer, who also coordinates with management to gauge the likelihood of violating the covenants as a result of the strategic, operational, compliance and financial risks mapped, using the enterprise risk management system. > For derivatives, the analysis includes those representing assets at 31 December, for which both outflows and inflows are shown, as their purpose is to hedge financial liabilities. At the balance sheet date, all derivatives had a negative fair value; > Amounts include cash flows from both the interest and the principal component.
> For the future cash flows of long-term floating-rate

Group Management has determined that the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, with their impacts on the macroeconomic scenario, are material events. The current and expected impacts for Gruppo IGD, while material as noted in the directors' report, have not required any revision of estimated financial statement figures at 31 December 2023, given that the Group is not directly or indirectly exposed to the risks produced by the conflict and that all investment property at the close of the year was recognized at fair value on the basis of independent appraisals and therefore reflects the current macroeconomic context.
Gruppo IGD has engaged in derivative contracts for the use of interest rate swaps. The fair value of derivatives for which no active market exists is determined with assistance from specialized firms according to market-based quantitative techniques, i.e. accredited pricing models based on parameters taken as of the individual measurement dates. This method therefore reflects a prioritization of the input data consistent with level 2 of the fair value hierarchy defined by IFRS 13: although quoted prices in active markets (level 1) are not available for these instruments, it is possible to base measurements on data observable either directly or indirectly in the market.

The portfolio is made up of eight hypermarkets (one each in Chioggia, Porto d'Ascoli, Rome, Rimini, Conegliano, and Ascoli Piceno and two in Bologna), three supermarkets (in Civita Castellana, Ravenna, and Rome) and two malls (in Bologna and Chioggia), with combined net rental income of around €17 million per year.
tiations that took shape early in the year and as authorized by the Board of Directors on 6 February 2024, signed an agreement with Sixth Street (a global investment firm with approximately 75 billion dollars in assets under management), subsidiaries of Starwood Capital (an investment company with 115 billion dollars in assets under management), and Prelios SGR S.p.A. (one of Italy's largest real estate management and services companies) for the sale of a portfolio of 13 assets for €258 million, which does not significantly differ from their carrying amount. The transaction will close by the end of April 2024. discounted future cash flows. Given currently foreseeable scenarios, this could mean a reduction in the investment's value by around 18-23%. The estimates used could undergo changes at the close of the sale, considering the shifting landscape of discount rates and the potential cash flow hypotheses that might materialize. Completion of the sale is not subject to obtaining financing or to other conditions precedent. IGD will also sign a contract with Prelios SGR in order to remain in charge of project, property & facility management activities for the entire portfolio, with the aim of further increasing its value in the coming years and selling it on the market under the best possible conditions.
The sale will take place through an Italian closed-end real estate investment fund (REIF) called "Food Fund," established and managed by Prelios SGR S.p.A., the asset management arm of Prelios Group with around €8 billion in assets under management, to which IGD will transfer the properties. For €155 million, IGD will transfer 60% of the fund (class A preferred shares) to a Luxembourg vehicle company (50% Sixth Street and 50% Starwood Capital), while the remaining 40% (class B subordinate shares) will be held by IGD. Further to the sale, IGD's interest in the fund will be measured at fair value on the basis of The disposal of the portfolio is aimed entirely at reducing the Group's financial leverage. As a result of the transaction, to date the Loan to Value ratio (pro-forma) is expected to decrease by around 3.7 percentage points: with the proceeds of the sale, IGD will pay off in advance part of the mortgage loans on the properties sold as well as some additional loans in accordance with contractual terms and conditions, including the "€310,006,000 Fixed Rate Step-up Notes due 17 May 2027," thereby reducing annualized financial charges by an estimated €11 million. In addition to the above, IGD's income statement will reap further benefits (lower operating costs and greater revenue from project, property & facility management) amounting to some €2 million annually.
At 31 December 2023 the Group had the following major commitments:
> Contract for the construction of a midsize store at the Officine Storiche mixed-use complex, for remaining balance of about €1.6 million.
On 23 December 2015 the regional tax authorities of Emilia Romagna served IGD SIIQ S.p.A. with two assessments arguing that €240,625.00 in costs incurred in 2010 had been unduly deducted for IRES and IRAP purposes and that the corresponding €48,125.00 in VAT had been unduly credited against VAT payable. The assessments resulted from a notification that the provincial tax authorities of Ravenna had received from the Sicilian regional office, which began by stating that the Sicilian authorities had served Coop Sicilia S.p.A. (head office in San Giovanni La Punta in the province of Catania) with an assessment based on the disallowance of costs incurred for services that were deemed to lack sufficient documentation. On that basis, the Sicilian regional office recommended that the Ravenna provincial authorities disallow the portion of those costs that Coop Sicilia had charged to IGD SIIQ S.p.A. under a contract between the two companies. After reviewing the papers and looking into the matter carefully, IGD's advisors concluded that the assessments are unfounded and filed settlement requests for both with the Emilia Romagna regional office.
During the subsequent debate phase, the company presented its arguments against the assessments to the Emilia Romagna authorities, who decided to consider IGD's arguments regarding IRES and IRAP but to uphold the complaint regarding VAT. Nevertheless, as the deadline approached for contesting the two assessments and no reversal notice had been received from the regional authorities, the company decided to prevent them from becoming definitive and on 6 June 2016 filed a formal appeal against each with the Provincial Tax Commission of Bologna.
On 30 November 2016 the Emilia Romagna regional authorities annulled the IRES assessment in full, while the IRAP/VAT assessment was annulled for the IRAP portion only and the VAT violation was confirmed.
In session on 25 January 2017, the Provincial Tax Commission of Bologna sided with IGD: with decision no. 253/17 filed on 28 February 2017 it definitively cleared the IRES and IRAP assessments, and with decision no. 254/14 (also filed on 28 February 2017) it accepted IGD's arguments concerning VAT and annulled that assessment as well, a ruling that became definitive on 14 June 2018.
For both proceedings, the Commission ordered the revenue office to reimburse IGD's legal expenses in the amount of €6,000.00 total.
On 29 September 2017 the Emilia Romagna regional authorities appealed the VAT decision (254/17) and on 28 November IGD filed its counterarguments against that appeal.
On 9 January 2020, the Emilia Romagna regional authorities filed a statement of defense to rebut the Company's counterarguments.
With a decision filed on 23 November 2020, the Regional Tax Commission of Emilia Romagna confirmed the lower commission's ruling, rejected the regional authorities' appeal, and ordered the regional authorities to pay the costs of both levels of justice in the amount of €7,000.00 (reimbursed in the first half of 2021).
In May 2021 the Emilia Romagna regional authorities filed an appeal with the Court of Cassation and IGD SIIQ S.p.A. filed its response.

For each financial instrument, both carrying value and fair value are indicated. The two values coincide for most instruments, as their maturity is short term. They differ for long-term instruments, such as mortgage loans, leasing installments and bonds. To calculate the fair value of liabilities measured at amortized cost, the Group has discounted future cash flows to present value using a risk-free (zero coupon) curve estimated at 31 December, as reported by Bloomberg. The calculation takes account of the credit spread that banks would currently grant to IGD. The fair value of interest rate swaps for which no active market exists is determined according to market-based quantitative techniques, i.e. accredited pricing models based on parameters taken as of the individual measurement dates. This method therefore reflects a prioritization of the input data consistent with level 2 of the fair value hierarchy defined by IFRS 13: although quoted prices in active markets (level 1) are not available for these instruments, it is possible to base measurements on data observable either directly or indirectly in the market. The fair value of financial liabilities was calculated using the credit spread that banks would grant to IGD SIIQ S.p.A. as of the measurement date. At 31 December 2023 the estimated credit spread was 6% (3.75% the previous year).
Below is a list of financial assets pledged as collateral for contingent liabilities.
The table below reports the gains and losses from financial instruments held. These derive from the impairment of trade receivables and hedge derivatives.
For hedge derivatives, the table shows the amount of the differentials paid and collected. The effects of fair value changes of derivatives held by the parent company, charged to the cash flow hedge reserve under equity (net of the tax effects), came to a negative €5,861K in 2023 versus a positive €10,666K in 2022, including the derivatives held by the subsidiary IGD Management SIINQ S.p.A. that was absorbed by IGD SIIQ S.p.A. on 1 October 2023 with effect for statutory and tax purposes from 1 January 2023.

The separate financial statements of Immobiliare Grande Distribuzione SIIQ S.p.A. for the year ended 31 December 2023 were approved and authorized for publication by the Board of Directors on 27 February 2024.
IGD SIIQ S.p.A. is a subsidiary of Coop Alleanza 3.0 Soc. Coop. and is under the management and coordination of that company.
The separate financial statements for 2023 have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) issued by the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) and approved by the European Union, and with instructions issued in compliance with Art. 9 of Legislative Decree 38/2005. The term "IFRS" encompasses all of the International Accounting Standards (IAS) and all interpretations published by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), including those previously issued by the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC), that as of the reporting date had been endorsed following the procedure specified in Regulation (EC) 1606/2002. The IFRS have been applied consistently to all reporting periods presented.
The Directors have assessed the applicability of the business continuity assumption in the preparation of the financial statements, concluding that such assumption is appropriate as there are no doubts about the business continuity, considering the actions taken in 2023 described in the corporate events paragraph.
The items in the statement of financial position have been classified as current or non-current, and those in the income statement by type.
The statement of comprehensive income shows the net profit or loss along with income and charges that by express requirement of IFRS are recognized directly in equity.
The statement of changes in equity presents comprehensive income and charges, transactions with shareholders and other changes in shareholders' equity.
The statement of cash flows is prepared using the indirect method, adjusting the profit for non-cash items.
To facilitate comprehension, all amounts below are expressed in thousands of euros (€/K) unless otherwise specified.
The following IFRS accounting standards, amendments and interpretations were applied for the first time by the Company as from 1 January 2023:
> On 7 May 2021 the IASB published "Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction." The amendments clarify the accounting of deferred tax on certain transactions that can generate assets and liabilities of the same amount upon initial recognition, such as leasing and decommissioning obligations. The modifications are effective from 1 January 2023. This amendment has had no effect on the Company's separate financial statements;
> On 12 February 2021 the IASB published two amendments: "Disclosure of Accounting Policies—Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2" and "Definition of Accounting Estimates—Amendments to IAS 8." The amendments concerning IAS 1 require an entity to disclose material information on its accounting policies. The amendments improve disclosures regarding the Group's accounting policies in order to provide more useful information to investors and to other primary users of financial statements, and help companies distinguish changes in accounting estimates from changes in accounting policies. The modifications are effective from 1 January 2023. Adoption of these amendments has not affected the Company's separate financial statements;
> On 23 May 2023 the IASB published "Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules." The amendments introduce a temporary exception to the accounting and disclosure obligations for deferred tax assets and liabilities under the Pillar Two Model Rules (which took effect in Italy on 31 December 2023 but are applicable from 1 January 2024), and require specific disclosures by entities affected by the International Tax Reform.
Size-wise, because it is controlled by Coop Alleanza (the "ultimate parent entity" or UPE), the Group is affected by the new Pillar Two Model Rules. With support from its consultants, the UPE has used 2022 data (with the final figures for 2023 not yet available) to determine the perimeter of application and the potential impact of the new rules on the jurisdictions falling within its scope of consolidation, including through use of the transitional safe harbours applicable to the three-year period 2024-2026 as allowed by the OECD guidelines. On the basis of those analyses, the new rules are not expected to have an impact on the Company or the Group, since the safe harbour – routine profit test is fully applicable. b) IFRS and IFRIC accounting standards, amendments, and interpretations endorsed by the European Union but not yet effective and not applied in advance by the As of the reporting date, the EU authorities had not yet finished the endorsement process necessary for the adoption of the following amendments and standards. > On 25 May 2023 the IASB published "Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements." The document requires disclosures on reverse factoring agreements that allow users of financial statements to assess how supplier finance arrangements affect an entity's liabilities and cash flows and to understand the effect of supplier finance arrangements on the entity's exposure to liquidity risk. The changes are effective from 1 January 2024 but early adoption is permitted. The directors do not expect the amendments to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements;
The following IFRS accounting standards, amendments and interpretations have been endorsed by the European Union but are not yet effective and were not early adopted by the Company as of 31 December 2023: > On 23 January 2020, the IASB published "Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current" and on 31 October 2022 it published "Amendments to IAS 1 Pre-> On 15 August 2023 the IASB published "Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability." The amendments require an entity to use a consistent method to assess whether a currency can be exchanged for another, and if it cannot, how to determine the exchange rate to be used and what disignificant impact on the Company's financial statements.
sentation of Financial Statements: Non-current Liabilities with Covenants." These amendments clarify how to classify payables and other liabilities as current or non-current. They also improve the required disclosures when an entity's right to defer the settlement of a liability for at least twelve months is subject to compliance with certain parameters (i.e. covenants). The amendments come into force on 1 January 2024; early adoption is permitted. The directors do not expect them to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements; sclosures to make in the notes to the financial statements. They are effective from 1 January 2025 but early adoption is permitted. The directors do not expect them to have a 5.6.2.2 // Intangible assets Intangible assets are recognized at cost when they are identifiable and controllable and it is likely that use of the asset will generate future economic benefits and when its cost can be reliably determined. Intangible assets acquired through business combinations are recognized at the market value defined as of the acquisition date, if that value can be reliably determined.
> On 22 September 2022, the IASB published "Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback." The amendments require the seller-lessee to determine the lease liability arising from a sale & leaseback transaction in a way that does not recognize a gain or loss relating to the retained right of use. They are effective from 1 January 2024 but early adoption is permitted. The directors do not expect them to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. After their initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost. The useful life of intangibles can be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are subject to impairment testing each year, or more frequently, whenever there is any indication of impairment. Further to such testing, if the recoverable value of an asset is less than its book value, the latter is reduced to recoverable value. This reduction constitutes an impairment loss, which is immediately posted to the income statement. An asset's recoverable value is the higher of its net sale value or value in use. Value in use is the present value of expected cash flows generated by the asset. In order to assess losses in value, assets are aggregated to the lowest cash generating unit, i.e. the lowest level for which independent cash flows can be separately identified. In the case of an indicator implying recovery of the value lost, the asset's recoverable value is re-determined and the book value is increased to that new value. However, the increase in book value can never exceed the net book value that the fixed asset would have had if no impairment had occurred.
Investment property is real estate held in order to earn rent while appreciating in value over time.
Investment property is initially recognized at cost, including transaction expenses (as well as borrowing costs, where applicable), and is subsequently measured at fair value with changes reported in the income statement.
Any work on the properties is added to their carrying value only if it is likely to produce future economic benefits and if the cost can be reliably determined. Other maintenance and repair costs are recognized in the income statement when incurred.
The fair value of investment property does not reflect future capital expenditure that will improve or enhance the property and does not reflect the related future benefits from this expenditure.
The market value of properties includes the value of their plant and machinery, as well as goodwill acquired.
Investment property is derecognized on disposal, or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses from the withdrawal or disposal of investment property are recognized to profit or loss in the period in which the withdrawal or disposal takes place. The property portfolio is valued twice a year with assistance from independent experts, who have recognized professional qualifications and up-to-date knowledge of the properties' rental situation and characteristics.
Assets under construction, consisting of deposits and advance payments, are valued at cost. For land and accessory works on which investment property will be developed, once the building permits are obtained and/or the urban planning agreements signed, and once the procedure for obtaining administrative permits is completed and construction is underway, fair value can be reliably determined and the fair value method is therefore used. Until that time, the asset is recognized at cost, which is compared with recoverable amount at each reporting date in order to determine any loss in value. When construction or development of an investment property is completed, it is restated to "investment property."
IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. an exit price). The fair value of investment property in accordance with IFRS 13 must reflect, among other things, rental income from current leases and other reasonable and supportable assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset under current market conditions.
As stated in paragraph 27 of IFRS 13, a fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The highest and best use of a non-financial asset takes into account the use of the asset that is physically possible, legally permissible and financially feasible, More specifically,
> A use that is physically possible takes into account the physical characteristics of the asset that market participants would take into account when pricing the asset (e.g. the location or size of a property);
> A use that is legally permissible takes into account any legal restrictions on the use of the asset that market participants would take into account when pricing the asset (e.g. the zoning regulations applicable to a property);
> A use that is financially feasible takes into account whether a use of the asset that is physically possible and legally permissible generates adequate income or cash flows (taking into account the costs of converting the asset to that use) to produce an investment return that market participants would require from an investment in that asset put to that use.
Highest and best use is determined from the perspective of market participants. An entity's current use of a non-financial asset is presumed to be its highest and best use unless market or other factors suggest that a different use by market participants would maximize the value of the asset.
The Company has not capitalized any financial charges.
The Company holds an operating lease for a mall inside the Fonti del Corallo shopping center which is in turn leased to third parties.
In accordance with IFRS 16, upon signing a new operating lease of a significant amount and with a duration of more than one year, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset of the same amount as the lease liability. The right-of-use asset is accounted for under property, plant and equipment ("investment property") and subject to independent appraisal to determine its fair value. At the end of each reporting period, the change in fair value is reported separately in the income statement.
To determine the fair value of every asset held under operating leases, the independent experts discount to present value the cash flows expected in the years covered by the lease. Unlike traditional real estate appraisals, the terminal value at the end of the explicit period is not considered.
The Company takes the exemption permitted by IFRS 16:5 (a) for short-term leases. Likewise, the Company has opted for the exemption permitted by IFRS 16:5 (b) with respect to leases for which the underlying asset qualifies as low-value. For these contracts, the lease installments continue to be recognized in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the lease term. An asset is subject to impairment testing whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value cannot be fully recovered. If the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is written down to reflect the impairment. An asset's recoverable value is the higher of its net sale value or value in use.
Plant, machinery and equipment that are owned by IGD and are not attributable to investment property are recognized at cost, less commercial discounts and rebates, considering directly attributable expenses as well as an initial estimate of the cost of dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site where it was located. Costs incurred after purchase are capitalized only if they increase the future economic benefits expected of the asset. All other costs (including financial expenses directly attributable to the purchase, construction or production of the asset) are recognized to profit or loss when incurred. The capitalized charge is recognized to profit and loss throughout the useful life of the tangible asset by means of depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the asset's estimated useful life, as follows: to the asset. For an asset that does not generate sufficiently independent cash flows, the value is determined in relation to the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment is charged to the income statement as depreciation. Impairment is reversed if the reasons cease to apply. When an asset is sold or when its use is no longer expected to produce future economic benefits, it is derecognized and any loss or gain (calculated as the difference between the sale value and carrying value) is taken to profit or loss the year the asset is eliminated. 5.6.2.6 // Equity investments
In measuring value in use, the discount rate used should be the pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific
Equity investments in subsidiaries are recognized at cost less any impairment. The positive difference, at the time of the acquisition, between the purchase cost and IGD's share of net equity at present values is therefore included

in the carrying value of the investment.
Should IGD's share of the acquiree's losses exceed the carrying value of the investment, the investment is written off, and the Company's share of further losses is recognized as a liability provision if IGD is liable for this.
Equity investments in joint ventures and associates are accounted for using the equity method. As such, the investment is initially carried at cost, which is then adjusted upward or downward to reflect changes in net equity after purchase. If an investment is classified as a joint venture or associate due to loss of control, it is initially carried at fair value, which is then adjusted upward or downward to reflect changes in net equity after the date control was lost. The adjustments are taken to the income statement in proportion to the Company's share of profit or loss, taking into account any impact of preference shares or quotas held by third parties.
The Group classifies financial assets on the basis of the business model used to manage them and the characteristics of the contractual cash flows. Depending on these conditions, financial assets are then valued at:
> Amortized cost;
Management makes an irrevocable classification upon first-time recognition of the assets.
Other non-current assets consist of deferred tax assets, financial assets relating to derivatives, and miscellaneous. Receivables and other financial assets other than derivatives, to be held until maturity, are recognized at cost which corresponds to the fair value of the initial consideration paid plus transaction costs. The initial value recognized is subsequently adjusted to take account of the reimbursement of principal, any impairment losses, and amortization of the difference between the redemption value and the initial carrying value. Amortization is charged at the effective interest rate, corresponding to the rate which, upon first-time recognition, makes the present value of projected cash flows equal to the initial carrying amount (amortized cost method).
Receivables are recognized at amortized cost, which coincides with face value, and are subsequently reduced for any impairment. For trade receivables, an impairment provision is made when there is an objective indication (e.g. the likelihood of insolvency or significant financial problems for the debtor) that the Company will not be able to recover all amounts due under the original terms and conditions. The carrying amount of the receivable is reduced by means of a separate provision. Impaired receivables are written off when they are found to be irrecoverable.
Commercial discounts on periods for which the revenue has already accrued are accounted for on the basis of IFRS 9, provided that no further changes are negotiated with the customer. in these cases the receivable is reversed in the amount of the discount granted, with immediate effect on the income statement.
Cash and cash equivalents are recognized, depending on their nature, at face value or amortized cost.
Cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, with an original maturity of no more than three months.
These consist mainly of financial assets held to maturity. Because under the Company's standard business model they are held for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows, they are initially valued at cost, and subsequently at amortized cost. Their value is reduced in consideration of expected losses, using information available without unreasonable effort or expense, that includes past events and current and prospective data. Such impairment losses are recognized in the income statement, as are any impairment reversals.
The assets and liabilities held for sale are those whose value will primarily be recovered through sale rather than through use. Classification into this category occurs when the sale is highly probable and the assets and liabilities are immediately available for sale in their current condition. Such assets are valued at the lower of cost and fair value net of sale costs.
from subsequent fair value changes.
Financial liabilities consist of borrowings, trade payables and other payables. They are initially recognized at cost, corresponding to fair value including transaction costs; subsequently, they are carried at amortized cost which corresponds to their initial value, net of principal reimbursed, and adjusted upward or downward for the amortization of any differences between initial value and value at maturity (using the effective interest method). If payment estimates are revised, with the exception of lease liabilities, the adjustment is recognized in the income statement. Lease liabilities as of the start date of the lease are calculated as the present value of payments due, discounted to present value using the implied interest rate or, where this cannot be easily termined, the marginal financing rate. The payments included in the computation of lease liabi-
Any liabilities related to business branches held for sale are accounted for separately under the item liabilities associated with assets held for sale. Any losses accounted for under this principle are charged to the income statement, both in the case of write-downs to fair value and in the case of gains and losses resulting sfer it to third parties at the close of the financial period. If the effect is significant, provisions are determined by discounting projected cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money. When cash flows are discounted, the increase in the provision due to the passing of time is recorded as a financial charge.
lities are: (a) fixed payments; b) variable payments linked to an index or rate; (c) amounts expected to be paid to guarantee the remaining balance; (d) the exercise price of any purchase option, if the duration of the lease takes this into account; and e) any penalties for termination of the lease, if the duration takes this into account.
After the start date, lease liabilities are adjusted for: (a) financial charges recognized in the income statement; b) payments made to the lessor; and (c) any new assessments or changes in the lease agreement or revised assumptions regarding payments due.
The provision covers the best estimate of the amount the company would pay to settle the obligation or tran-
General provisions cover liabilities of a definite nature that are certain or likely to arise, but whose amount or timing were unknown at the close of the year. Provisions are recognized when they cover a present obligation (legal or constructive) that stems from a past event, if settlement of the obligation will likely involve an outflow in an amount that can be reliably estimated. tracts in force. > Service income; Service income is recorded with reference to the state of completion of the transaction and only when the outcome of the service can be reliably estimated.
Employee termination indemnities, which are mandatory for Italian companies pursuant to Law 297/1982 (trattamento di fine rapporto or TFR), qualify as defined benefit plans and are based, among other factors, on employees' working lives and on the compensation they receive during a pre-determined period of service. The liability for a defined benefit plan, net of any assets servicing the plan, is determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions and is recognized on an accruals basis consistently with the amount of service required to receive the benefits; the liability is valued by independent actuaries. Gains and losses arising from the actuarial calculation are taken to the statement of comprehensive income under "other comprehensive income." The Company does not offer compensation in the form of share-based payments, as employees do not render services in exchange for shares or options on shares. In addition, the Company does not offer employee incentive plans in the form of share participation instruments.
Revenue is recognized to the extent the Company is likely to enjoy the economic benefits and the amount can be reliably determined. It is shown at the market value of the consideration received, net of discounts, rebates and taxes. The following recognition criteria must always be satisfied before revenue is posted to the income statement:
> Rent and business lease revenue;
Rental income and business lease revenue from the Company's freehold and leasehold properties is recorded on an accruals basis, according to the rental and leasing con-

Where there has been an exchange between an existing If a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge against changes in the fair value of an asset or liability attributable to a particular risk, the gain or loss arising from subsequent fair value accounting of the hedge is recognized in profit or loss.

b. The hedge is expected to be highly effective;
d. The hedge is highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which it was designated.
All derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value. When the financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting, the following rules apply:
IGD SIIQ S.p.A.'s functional and reporting currency is the euro. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially translated at the exchange rate in force on the transaction date. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate in force on the last day of the year and the related exchange gains and losses are recognized in the income statement. Any net gain that arises flows into a reserve that cannot be distributed until the gain is realized. (regional business tax) (see also section 2.8 of the directors' report). At 31 December 2023, as at the end of previous years, IGD satisfied both the "asset test" and the "profit test" required to retain SIIQ status. In accordance with the SIIQ rules, the company does maintain marginal operations other than property rental and the equivalent ("taxable operations").
The Company holds derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging its exposure to the risk of interest rate changes affecting specific recognized liabilities. Therefore, income from taxable operations has been subject to the standard rules of computation, while the SIIQ rules have been followed for income from exempt operations.
In accordance with IFRS 9, derivative financial instruments used for hedging qualify for hedge accounting only if: a. At the inception of the hedge there is formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship; To determine the results of separate operations, subject to different accounting and tax treatment in accordance with paragraph 121 of Law 296/06, IGD SIIQ S.p.A. has kept separate accounts for exempt rental operations and taxable marginal operations.
c. The effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured; Income from exempt operations therefore include revenue and costs typical of the property rental business, as well as those typical of operations considered to be equivalent.
A company with SIIQ (Società di Investimento Immobiliare Quotata) status, applicable to IGD since 1 January 2008, can exclude rental income and the equivalent for the purposes of IRES (corporate income tax) and IRAP
Likewise, revenue and costs stemming from the company's remaining activities have been allocated to taxable operations.

to their receipt.
Costs are recognized on an accruals basis.
Interest income and expense is recorded on an accruals basis with reference to the net value of the financial assets and liabilities concerned, using the effective interest rate.
Current tax liabilities for the 2023 and previous years are measured as the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and laws used to calculate that amount are those that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Other taxes not related to income, such as those on property and capital, are booked to operating expenses. In calculating taxes for the year, the Company took into due account the IAS rules introduced by Law 244 of 24 December 2007, in particular the reinforced principle of derivation established by Art. 83 of the Italian Tax Code. According to that principle, entities that have adopted the international accounting standards should follow the IAS criteria for qualification, temporal allocation, and classification in the financial statements even if they depart from Italian GAAP.
For IRES (corporate income tax) purposes, the Company consolidates taxation in Italy with its main subsidiaries.
Deferred taxes are calculated on temporary differences existing at the reporting date between the value of assets and liabilities for tax purposes and the value reported in the statement of financial position.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized on all taxable temporary differences, except when they derive from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized, except when the deferred tax asset associated with deductible temporary differences derives from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).
The carrying value of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date, and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are also reviewed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on current tax rates and those in effect or substantively in effect by the balance sheet date, and considering the manner in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
Income taxes relating to items that are credited or charged directly to equity are also charged or credited directly to equity and not to profit or loss.
A financial asset (or, where applicable, part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when:
> The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
> The Company still has the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has a contractual obligation to pay these immediately and in full to a third party;
> The Company has transferred the right to receive cash flows from the asset and (a) has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset;
> If the Company has transferred the right to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards or has not lost control of the asset, then the asset is recognized
11 November 2014 ("Conversion into law, with amendments, of Decree 133 of 12 September 2014"), capital gains and losses on rental properties (whether realized or implicit in fair value measurements) are also included in exempt operations.
In accordance with paragraph 121 of Law 296/06 and with the clarifications contained in Revenue Office Circular 8/E of 7 February 2008, general, administrative and financial costs that cannot be directly attributed to exempt or taxable operations or allocated on the basis of objective parameters have been split according to the ratio of exempt revenue/income/dividends to total revenue/income/dividends.
As for properties (owned or held on the basis of other corporeal rights) forming part of rental package deals, the accurate and objective determination of the portion of fees pertaining to the real estate component has been ensured by making the exempt/taxable allocation on the basis of an expert appraisal to quantify the fair value of fees at each property that pertain to rent.
Likewise, the costs common to package deals as a whole (such as shopping center promotion and advertising costs) have been allocated to exempt and taxable operations in the same proportions used for rent. In this specific case, such a policy was thought to be more reliable and objective than an allocation based on the company's total revenue. Since these costs relate directly to the package deals and not to IGD's operations as a whole, their correlation with contractual fees is immediate and objective.

The real estate portfolio is appraised twice a year, at 30 June and 31 December, by independent external firms selected on the basis of the following criteria: (i) recognized European-level qualifications, (ii) specialized expertise in the retail segment, and (iii) reputability and independence. The selection of the independent appraisers is by resolution of the Board of Directors.
In line with recommendations from the supervisory authorities and the various industry best practices, the com-
The preparation of the separate financial statements and notes in accordance with IFRS requires Management to follow accounting policies and methods that in some cases depend on difficult subjective quantifications and estimates based on past experience, and assumptions that are considered reasonable and realistic on a case-by-case basis. These affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the reporting date. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis and any changes are reflected immediately in profit or loss. Because assumptions about future performance are highly uncertain, actual results may differ from those forecast, and may require sizable adjustments that cannot presently be foreseen or estimated. The critical valuation processes and key assumptions used According to IFRS 13, an entity shall use valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. Fair value is measured on the basis of observable transactions in an active market, and is adjusted, if necessary, to take account of the specific characteristics of the individual real estate investment. If that information is not available, to determine the fair value of an investment property, the company uses the discounted cash flow method (over a variable period of time depending on the duration of outstanding leases) relating to the future net rental income from the property. At the end of that period it is assumed that the property will be sold at a value obtained by capitalizing the final year's rental income at an applicable market rate of return for similar investments.
by management in the process of applying IFRS that may significantly impact the amounts presented in the financial statements or that may in the future lead to material differences with respect to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are summarized below. The appraisal methods used, as specified in the individual certificates, are as follows: > For malls and retail parks, offices, hypermarkets and
low in accordance with IFRS 13.
pany has long followed a specific procedure that governs the rules for selecting independent appraisers and handling the information flows used in the process of assessing the properties' fair value. To appraise the real estate portfolio at 31 December 2023, the following independent firms were selected: (i) CBRE Valuation S.p.A., (ii) Kroll Advisory S.p.A., (iii) Cushman & Wakefield LLP, and (iv) Jones Lang LaSalle S.p.A. Given their specialized expertise in the retail segment, IGD believes that the findings and assumptions used by the independent appraisers are representative of the market. The properties in the portfolio are appraised individually, using for each one the appraisal techniques specified be-With the DCF method, the market value of an investment property is the sum of the present values of the net cash flows it will generate for a number of years depending on the duration of the outstanding contracts. During the period, when the contracts expire, the rent used to compute revenue is replaced with the estimated rental value (ERV) determined by the appraiser, taking account of the contractual rent received, so that in the final year of the DCF revenue consists entirely of ERV. At the end of the period it is assumed that the property will be sold at a value obtained by capitalizing the final year's rental income at an applicable market rate (gross cap out rate) for similar investments.
supermarkets: discounted cash flow (DCF) method based on net rental income for the next n years. According to this method, at the end of the given period it is assumed that the property will be sold at a value obtained by capitalizing the final year's net rental income at an applicable market rate of return for similar investments;
> For construction in progress (extensions and new constructions): transformation method, based on the discounting of future rental income for the property net of construction costs through to completion and other expenses.
With the transformation method, the market value of a property in the planning or construction phase is calculated by discounting the future income from renting the property, net of construction and other costs to be incurred, for a number of years depending on the duration of plans. At the end of the period it is assumed that the property will be sold at a value obtained by capitalizing the final year's rental income at an applicable market rate (gross cap out rate) for similar investments.
In both methods based on the discounting of future income, the key elements are:
1) The amount of net cash flow:
a. for finished properties: rent received less property costs;
b. for construction in progress: estimated future rent less construction costs and property costs.
2) The distribution of cash flows over time:
a. For finished properties: generally even distribution over time;
b. For construction in progress: construction costs come before future rental income.
In appraising the different types of properties in the real estate portfolio, the independent experts base their considerations primarily on:
1) Information received from IGD SIIQ, as follows:
(i) For finished properties: data on the rental status of each unit in each shopping center, as specified in the Company's internal procedure; property taxes; insurance and operating costs for the shopping centers; and any likely incremental costs;
(ii) For construction in progress: the start and end dates of the work, the status of building permits and authorizations, remaining costs, the state of progress, the ribbon-cutting date and projected rentals;
2) Assumptions used by the independent appraisers, such as inflation, discount rates, cap out rates and ERVs, determined through their own
professional judgment upon careful observation of the market. The following are taken into account when determining the capitalization and discounting rates used to value individual properties:
> The type of tenant currently occupying the property or responsible for complying with rental obligations and the possible future occupants of vacant properties, as well as the market's general perception of their creditworthiness;
> The division of responsibilities for insurance and maintenance between the lessor and the lessee;
> The remaining economic life of the property.
The information provided by IGD to the independent appraisers and the latters' assumptions and appraisal methods are approved by the head of Real Estate Development and Management, who is responsible for organizing and coordinating the appraisal and for monitoring and verifying results before they are incorporated into the financial statements. The entire process is governed in detail by IGD SIIQ's internal procedure.
Disclosures on the fair value hierarchy are provided below in accordance with IFRS 13. The fair value hierarchy classifies into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. It gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). Specifically:
> Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
> Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:
(a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
(b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active;
(c) Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, for example:
See section 4.6.3 ("Use of estimates") for further information.
(d) Market-corroborated inputs. > Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company's real estate portfolio has been measured
i) Interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals; ii) Implied volatility; iii) Credit spreads; according to Level 3 Fair value models as the inputs directly and indirectly unobservable in the market, used in the valuation models, are greater than the observable inputs.
The following table shows IGD SIIQ investment property by type, measured at fair value at 31 December 2023. It does not include construction in progress (Porto Grande expansion, listed with assets under construction), which is measured at the lower of cost and appraised market value as opposed to fair value.

The recoverable amount of goodwill is determined each year, or more frequently in the case of events or changes in circumstances that may indicate impairment. Impairment is identified through tests based on the ability of each cash generating unit to produce cash flows suitable for recovering the portion of goodwill that has been allocated to it, following the procedures specified in the section on property, plant and equipment. On the basis of the fund regulations, the recoverable amount of IGD's investment in the "Fondo Juice" real estate investment fund is strictly correlated with fair value and with the sale value of the property investments managed. > Recoverability of deferred tax assets The Company has deferred tax assets on deductible tem-
porary differences and theoretical tax benefits for losses carried forward. In estimating recoverable value, the Company considered the results of the business plan in keeping with those used for impairment testing.
5.6 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The fair value of interest rate swaps for which no active market exists is determined according to market- based quantitative techniques, i.e. accredited pricing models based on parameters taken as of the individual measurement dates, also with support from external consultants. This method therefore reflects a prioritization of the input data consistent with level 2 of the fair value hierarchy defined by IFRS 13: although quoted prices in active markets (level 1) are not available for these instruments, it is possible to base measurements on data observable either directly or indirectly in the market.
Variable revenue at 31 December is determined on the basis of annual earnings reports from the individual tenants, if available, and otherwise on the basis of monthly reports.
The provision for doubtful accounts reflects estimated losses on receivables. Management closely monitors the quality of the receivables portfolio and the current and prospective conditions of the economy and IGD's markets. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis and any changes are reflected in the income statement of the pertinent year.
The Company recognizes a liability for pending disputes and legal actions when it believes that a financial outlay is likely and when the amount of the resulting losses can be reasonably estimated. If a financial outlay becomes possible but its amount cannot be determined, this is reported in the notes to the financial statements. The Company is involved in lawsuits and tax disputes concerning difficult, complex issues that present varying degrees of uncertainty, including with regard to the facts and circumstances of each case, matters of jurisdiction, and different applicable laws. Therefore, it is difficult to reach an accurate prediction of any outlays resulting from these disputes, and the provisions set aside for such matters may vary according to future developments.
The Company monitors the status of such litigation and consults with its attorneys and with experts in law and taxation.
On 4 May 2023 the extraordinary shareholders' meeting of IGD Management SIINQ S.p.A. and the Board of Directors of IGD SIIQ S.p.A. approved plans for the absorption by Immobiliare Grande Distribuzione Società di Investimento Immobiliare Quotata S.p.A. of the wholly-owned subsidiary IGD Management SIINQ S.p.A., on the basis of the two companies' statements of financial position at 31 December 2022. The merger documents were finalized on 31 July 2023.
The merger took effect for legal purposes from 1 October 2023 and for accounting and tax purposes from 1 January 2023.
The main objective of the merger is to complete the reorganization and streamlining of the Group's structure by reducing the number of companies and separating, where possible, its business lease operations (licenses) from "pure" property rentals. That process began in 2021 with (i) the merger of RGD Ferrara 2013 S.r.l. and Millennium Gallery S.r.l. into IGD Management S.r.l., (ii) the proportional partial spin-off of IGD Management post-merger to the company IGD Service S.r.l., and (iii) the conversion of IGD Management into an unlisted real estate investment company (SIINQ).
The effects of the merger are detailed in the table below. The "Aggregate" column is the sum of the two companies' balance sheet figures at 1 January 2023, while the column "IGD SIIQ post-merger" is the sum of the two balance sheet figures at 1 January 2023 plus the merger adjustments and elimination of intercompany balances.

The merger voided IGD's investment in IGD Management, amounting to €69,966K, against the elimination of IGD Management's net equity of €90,090K and the recognition of a merger surplus of €20,124K. Considering the nature of the merged company's equity reserves prior to the merger and the fifth paragraph of Article 172 of the Tax Code, which requires reserves that are "taxed only in case of distribution" to be reconstituted as part of the incorporating entity's net equity if and to the extent that "there is a merger surplus or capital increase in an amount exceeding the combined capital of the companies taking part in the merger net of the shares of each of them already owned by them or by others", the merger surplus resulting from this extraordinary operation was used for the partial reinstatement of a tax-suspended revaluation reserve pursuant to Article 110 of Decree Law 104/2020. duced the following changes in IGD SIIQ's statement of financial position: > An increase of €139,606K in "Investment property" to account for Gallerie Commerciali di Sarca (Milan) and Millennium Center (Rovereto); > An increase of €5,195K in assets for derivative financial instruments corresponding to the mark-to-market value of two interest rate swaps; > An increase of €2,385K in "Cash and cash equivalents"; > An increase of €53,733K in current and non-current financial liabilities, reflecting a bank loan due in April 2027 secured by a mortgage on Galleria Commerciale di Sarca.

In 2023 IGD earned total revenue of €125,217K. The increase of €11,210K reflects higher revenue from third parties (+€5,643K) due mainly to inflation-linked rent increases, and from related parties (+€5,315K) as a result of IGD SI-IQ's absorption of the subsidiary IGD Management on 1 October 2023, which took effect for accounting and tax purposes on 1 January 2023.
Revenue from malls increased by €11,253K, while revenue from hypermarkets and supermarkets was down by €290K. Third-party rent and business lease revenue from freehold Rent from freehold hypermarkets and supermarkets decreased by €290K on the previous year, due mainly to agreements for the partial remapping of the hypermarkets at the Palermo, Catania, and Casilino shopping centers.
malls, offices, and city center properties rose by €4,273K as a result of new openings and the ISTAT adjustment for inflation. Variable contract revenue amounts to roughly 1.6% of IGD's total revenue.
Related-party rent and business lease revenue from freehold malls, offices, and city center properties rose by €6.980K as a result of the ISTAT adjustment and IGD SI-IQ's absorption of the subsidiary IGD Management on 1 October 2023, which took effect for accounting and tax purposes on 1 January 2023. Except for Coop Alleanza 3.0, IGD does not earn more than 10% of its revenue from a single client. For information on transactions with Coop Alleanza 3.0, see Note 37. Further details of trends in revenue can be found in Section 2.2.1 (Income statement review) of the Directors' Report.

Other income increased by €252K with respect to the previous year. Other income from third parties rose by €251K as a result of a €377K increase in out-of-period income, following a positive ruling by the appellate court on a lawsuit regarding former employees of a tenant that had leased retail space from the Group at Conè shopping center, only partially offset by a decrease in marketing and portfolio management revenue.

> Other provisions refer to the estimated outcome of three IMU (municipal property tax) disputes regarding Tiburtino shopping center in Guidonia (€500K), La Torre shopping center in Palermo (€113K), and Esp shopping center in Ravenna (€22K). In addition, €320K was allocated during the year for IGD's share of earthquake proofing to be carried out at some of the supermarkets and hypermarkets sold in 2021, while €28K was used to restore the provision for taxation. > The item "Fair value changes" (negative €119,635K) covers (i) a revaluation of €20,956K and a writedown of €137,620K carried out to match the carrying value of investment property to appraised market value at 31 December 2023 (See Note 12 for details of movements in investment property); and (ii) a writedown of €2,971K due to the adoption of IFRS 16 and the consequent adjustment of right-of-use assets to independently appraised fair value as of 31 December 2023.
The loss of €45K reflects the writedown by €50K of an equity investment carried at cost, partially offset by dividends from the subsidiary Win Magazin SA.
Financial income was €3,619K higher than the previous year. The increase in financial income from third parties is due to the upward trend in the Euribor, the benchmark rate for calculating interest.
Financial income from related parties consists of interest, charged at going market rates, on loans granted to subsidiaries.

> Higher financial charges on bonds reflecting the issue of a new €400 million bond and partial exchange for the bond notes maturing on 28 November 2024. Described in greater detail in the section on significant events in 2023, this operation voided the pre-existing bond and led to the release to the income statement of the remaining expenses for amortized cost and the recognition of the new bond loan;

The overall tax effect was a negative €286K.
The IRES charge was zero as a result of the tax consolidation process.
IRAP current taxes increased by €278K compared with the previous year.

Most of the changes in plant and machinery and equipment reflect (i) IGD SIIQ S.p.A.'s absorption of the subsidiary IGD Management SIINQ S.p.A. on 1 October 2023, with statutory and tax effects starting on 1 January 2023; and (ii) the purchase and installation of equipment at the new Officine Storiche mixed-used complex inaugurated in September 2023, partially offset by depreciation for the year.
At 31 December 2023, assets under construction consisted mainly of:
> Land at Porto Grande for the construction of midsize stores, recognized at fair value in the amount of €2.1 million;
> Costs for restyling in progress at Gran Rondò shopping center in Crema.
The change for the year in assets under construction and advances refers to:
> The restyling of Porto Grande shopping center in San Benedetto del Tronto (€3,295K);
> The restyling of Leonardo shopping center in Imola (€2,387K);
> The reclassification (€6,456K) to investment property of work completed during the period, namely (i) the restyling of Porto Grande shopping center in San Benedetto del Tronto, and (ii) the restyling (first lot) of Leonardo shopping center in Imola;
> The writedown of the Porto Grande expansion by €409K;
> A decrease of €22,455K in advance payments due to the acquisition in September 2023, from the wholly-owned indirect subsidiary Porta Medicea, of the mixed-use Officine Storiche complex.
See section 2.6 on the real estate portfolio for further details.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities have been offset in accordance with paragraph 74 of IAS 12, given that: (i) the company is entitled to offset current tax assets and liabilities and (ii) the deferred tax assets and liabilities are associated with income taxes charged by the same tax jurisdiction. Therefore, net deferred tax assets reflect deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are shown in detail below:
Deferred tax assets mainly originate from:

> Taxed provisions, such as the provision for doubtful accounts and the bonus provision;
> The recognition of deferred tax assets on mortgage hedging instruments (IRS);
> Tax losses carried forward.
The changes during the year mostly refer to:
> The reversal of deferred tax assets on mortgage hed-
ging instruments (IRS) due to the increase in their positive fair value;
> The reversal of deferred tax assets due to the partial use of prior losses, given the outcome of the tax consolidation process for the year.

Given the likelihood of future taxable income for the Group in the short to medium term, as corroborated by taxable income earned in recent years, prior-year losses are expected to be used, so the deferred tax assets are likely to be recovered.

Corallo Lux Holdco S.a.r.l. The Fund has a duration of 10 years and is managed by Savillis Investment Management SGR S.p.A. It is valued using the equity method and its valuation at 31 December 2023 was in line with the previous year. For further information, see the "List of equity investments." most recent inflation levels. Costs were projected on the basis of past performance and forward-looking assumptions based on all available information. Future cash flows were determined based on figures for 2024-2026, particularly EBITDA less estimated taxes and capital expenditure.
For investments in subsidiaries deemed to be significant, carrying value was compared with recoverable amount, calculated as equity value, or the sum of unlevered free cash flows discounted to present value for the explicit forecast period, the present value of the terminal value calculated after the last year of the explicit period, net debt as of the measurement date, and the subsidiaries' fair value. For periods beyond the third year, the Company calculates the terminal value using the perpetuity method, i.e. on the basis of cash flows from operating activities assuming continuity beyond the explicit period. The main assumptions used to calculate value in use are set out below:
Recoverable amount was calculated using projected operating cash flows for each company, which derive from the 2024 budget approved by the Board of Directors on 13 December 2023 and stationary projections for 2025 and 2026. > Discount rate (WACC) of 6.80% (6.77% at 31 December 2022); > Future cash flows estimated as described above;
Those projections were based on the typical and stable characteristics of the subsidiaries' businesses, mainly consisting of long-term rental contracts, and considering the The results of impairment tests are summarized below:
> Perpetuity growth rate (g) of 2% (unchanged since the previous year).
| Euro thousands Impairment Test result |
Equity Value pro quota | Carrying Amount | Cover / (Impairment) |

| IGD Service S.r.l. | 115,586 | 114,734 | 852 |
| Arco Campus S.r.l. | 2,393 | 1,441 | 952 |
The test found no evidence of impairment, although, given the additional writedown of the property portfolio of IGD Service, the coverage has decreased since the previous year. The Company ran sensitivity analyses to measure the impact that changes in the most significant unobservable inputs (WACC and growth rate), due to changes in the macroeconomic scenario, would have on the outcome of the impairment tests of equity investments held by IGD SIIQ. For the investment in IGD Service S.r.l., an additional 0.1% increase in WACC or a 0.1% decrease in the growth rate would reduce the existing coverage to zero. Finally, for the investment in Arco Campus S.r.l., a 1.1% increase in WACC or 1.2% decrease in the growth rate would reduce the existing coverage to zero.
Receivables are shown net of the provision for doubtful accounts, which reflects positions not considered to be fully recoverable.
Net allocations for doubtful accounts (performing, non-performing, and legal-action receivables) came to €322K in 2023. The allocation for the year was calculated based on the problems encountered with individual receivables recognized at 31 December 2023 and on all available information.
The use of €1,734K from the provision concerns doubtful accounts/problem credits identified in previous years that were fully written off during the period.
Movements in the provision for doubtful accounts are reported below:

The following charts show the demographic and financial assumptions used:
The provision qualifies as a defined benefit plan. In accordance with paragraph 83 of IAS 19, the annual discount rate used to calculate the present value of the liability is based on the iBoxx Corporate A index with duration 10+ as of the measurement date. Use of a discount rate based on the iBoxx Corporate AA 10+ would not have made a significant difference.

to Intesa SanPaolo in connection with the five-year, €250 million green secured facility contracted in May 2023; of €36,300K obtained in 2020 and the (ii) 6-year loan of €20,946K obtained in 2022;
> A decrease in extension fees due to the reclassification to current liabilities of the €312.5K extension fee that the Company will have to pay to BNP Paribas in 2024 in order to extend the duration of the €215 million loan to 2025. As of this writing, the Company believes an extension to both 2025 and 2026 is likely; > An increase, due to the merger described in Section 5.6.4, of €516K in SIINQ entry tax payable, covering the non-current portion of the tax due for the adoption of SIINQ status by IGD Management, which took this option during the previous year. The SIINQ entry tax is paid in five annual installments starting in 2022.
> A decrease of €435K due to the reclassification to current liabilities of the fees payable to SACE in 2024 as consideration for the guarantees backing the (i) 5-year loan Below are the details of related party payables:
At 31 December 2023 this provision mostly concerned pending property tax disputes over the shopping centers La Torre in Palermo (mall + hypermarket), Le Maioliche in Faenza (mall), Esp in Ravenna (mall + hypermarket), and Guidonia (mall + hypermarket). The principal complaints against IGD SIIQ S.p.A. relate to: (i) the zoning classification of the shopping center itself (C/1 or D/8), (ii) the classification and valuation of the individual commercial units within the shopping center, (iii) the classification of the common areas of the shopping center, and (iv) the classification of the parking areas.
The Company is contesting the assessments received from the tax authorities and/or collection agencies and has decided to pay IMU (municipal property tax) based on the originally declared (pre- assessment) cadastral rent, while allocating provisions to cover the risks of these complaints, except in the case of Guidonia for which it was not possible to suspend payment of the new assessments.
Most of the increase for the year consists of an additional allocation against pending IMU/ICI (local property tax) disputes, which mainly concern new classifications and cadastral rent calculations for the shopping centers in Palermo, Ravenna, and Guidonia.
The bonus provision covers the variable compensation that will be paid to employees in 2024 on the basis of the Group's 2023 estimated results. The utilization refers to the payment made in the first half of 2023.
This provision also includes a long-term portion for upper management, paid every three years. The only movement in 2023 was an allocation, as the next payment date is in 2025.
These cover the risks arising from litigation in course and probable future expenses (€898K), and estimated end-ofterm benefits for directors (€750K). The principal change during the year was a net allocation of €318K for earthquake proofing to be carried out, at IGD's expense, at various supermarkets and hypermarkets sold in 2021.
Advances due beyond one year refer to the advance from BNP Paribas under the agreement for the sale of the commercial licenses of the Fonti del Corallo mall, which will be finalized in 2026 when the current rental contract expires.
During the year, sundry payables and other non-current
liabilities underwent the following changes:
> An increase in Intesa extension fees reflecting the
€408K in total fees that IGD SIIQ S.p.A. will have to pay
Security deposits refer to sums received for the leasing of hypermarkets and malls. During the year this item increased by €3,400K as a result of the absorption of the subsidiary IGD Management SIINQ S.p.A., to account for the security deposits received from the affiliate IGD Service S.r.l. under the Masterlease agreements for the lease of Centro Sarca and Millennium Center malls. Security deposits pay interest at the rates provided for by law.

Current financial liabilities include the current portion of lease payments on the new head office, the current portion of liabilities stemming from the adoption of IFRS 16, and the current portion of outstanding mortgage loans and bonds (including interest accrued). The principal changes in current financial liabilities relate to: 2023 as a result of contracting a five-year loan of up to €250 million with a pool of major national and international lenders; > The early redemption, in November 2023, of the €100 million bond originally maturing in January 2024.
> The early repayment of various mortgage loans, originally maturing in 2024 or 2025, in the second quarter of
> The repayment of ultra-short-term borrowings (€19 million); The reduction in related party liabilities (€3,466K) reflects the elimination of the amount due for use of the treasury account to the subsidiary IGD Management SIINQ S.p.A. as a result of that company's absorption by IGD SIIQ S.p.A.

The table below presents net debt at 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2022. At neither date does it include derivatives held for hedging purposes, which by nature do not constitute monetary assets or liabilities.
Net debt increased by €56 million with respect to 31 December 2022, due mainly to:
> The absorption of the subsidiary IGD Management SI-INQ by IGD SIIQ (see Section 5.6.4 for details);
> Dividend payments of €33.1 million in May 2023;
> A decrease in payables as a result of applying IFRS 16;
> Cash generated during the year net of capital expenditure and mortgage loan payments.
As in previous years, net debt does not include non-current liabilities described in Note 31, consisting of payables for contractual commitments, security deposits received from third parties and related parties for the rental of hypermarkets and malls, guarantee deposits, extension fees payable, and tax liabilities, given the lack of a significant implicit or explicit financial component.
In addition, as in previous years, it does not include assets and liabilities for derivative financial instruments which amounted to €2,649K and €3,855K, respectively.

Most of the increase in related party payables (+€875K) reflects the different timing of payments. See Note 37 for details.
This item covers the amount due for IRPEF and regional and municipal surtaxes that was paid in January 2024, and for the SIINQ entry tax of €258K (current portion) resulting from the merger of the subsidiary IGD Management SIINQ S.p.A.

These consist mainly of security deposits received from commercial tenants.
The increase of €359K stems mainly from (i) an increase of €1,055K in accrued liabilities and deferred income; (ii) an increase of €312.5K in extension fees due to the reclassification from non-current liabilities of the fees the Company will have to pay in 2024 to BNP Paribas to ex-

In the course of business, IGD is exposed to various financial risks. To map and assess its risks, IGD SIIQ S.p.A. has developed an integrated risk management model based on the international Enterprise Risk Management standards (see section 2.12 of the Directors' Report). The Board of Directors reviews and agrees on policies to manage these risks. > Market risk Market risk is the potential for changes in exchange rates, interest rates or prices to negatively affect the value of assets, liabilities or cash flows.
The Finance department monitors interest rate risk constantly, in coordination with top management, including through analysis and measurement tools developed within the Group's enterprise risk management program. It also monitors trends in the main economic and financial indicators that may affect the Group's performance. Interest rate swaps hedge 73.76% of the Company's exposure to rate fluctuations on long-term loans, including bonds. The Finance department analyzes and measures interest rate and liquidity risk while constantly evaluating the best means of implementation of the risk management model, and conducts routine scouting activities to find opportunities to reduce the cost of debt with banks and/or the capital markets.
The main risk factor is the volatility of interest rates and the effect this has on borrowing and on the investment of liquid funds. The Company finances its operations through short-term borrowings, long-term secured and unsecured loans charging adjustable interest, and fixed-interest bonds, so it determines its risk of increased financial charges if interest rates go up or if it refinances debt at higher rates. terest rate risk, showing the impact on equity and profit/ loss, as required by IFRS 7. The sensitivity analysis was conducted in consideration of the financial statement items that generate interest at floating rates or that are exposed to fair value changes, assuming parallel increases or decreases in the interest rate curves of each currency.
See Note 39 for quantitative information on derivatives. The following table presents the sensitivity analysis of in-

The assumptions underlying the sensitivity analysis are as follows:
> Medium- and long-term mortgage loans were analyzed according to exposure at the reporting date;
> Ultra-short-term borrowings and deposits were analyzed according to exposure at the end of the year;
> The initial shift in the interest rate curve was assumed to be +100/-10 basis points (unchanged since the previous year);
> In determining changes associated with floating-rate financial instruments, it was assumed that no interest rates have already been set;
> The values affecting equity have been calculated as the difference between the fair values calculated with the shock-modified curve and the fair values of derivatives at the balance sheet date;
> The analysis assumes that all other risk variables remain constant.
> For the sake of comparison, the same measurement was conducted on 2023 and 2022.
The method used to analyze and determine significant variables did not change since the previous year.
IGD uses the euro as its accounting currency for all purchases and sales.
The Company is exposed to the risk of changes in the rent charged on leasehold properties. The domestic and international real estate market is cyclical in nature and influenced by several macroeconomic variables, relating for example to general economic conditions, interest rates, inflation, tax laws, market liquidity, and the presence of other profitable investments.
Credit risk takes the form of customer insolvency and difficulty collecting payments. To mitigate these risks, tenants go through a pre-contractual selection process, based on financial standing and earnings prospects.
Reviews of potential customers are performed also with the help of external specialists and aim to identify any risk factors for the company. Monthly analyses investigate the level of risk associated with each tenant and monitor their solvency.
All customers are asked for bank guarantees and/or security deposits to guarantee fulfillment of their commitments. Throughout the life of the contract, the company monitors compliance on an ongoing basis, and follows internal credit management procedures in the event any problems arise; when the business relationship is secure, measures to assist the tenant may be taken. The Group constantly monitors its credit positions and uses an ad hoc program to assess each tenant's track record, risk level and solvency, an analysis that is formally conducted every quarter but monitored on a daily basis to stay abreast of the actions taken or needed to collect receivables. The maximum credit risk on the Company's other financial assets, including cash and cash equivalents and certain derivative instruments, is the carrying value of these assets in the event of the counterparty's insolvency. The maximum exposure is presented gross of any mitigation through the use of various kinds of hedge.
The table below presents the maximum exposure to credit risk for balance sheet components, divided into categories, including derivatives with a positive fair value.
Where financial instruments are measured at fair value, the amounts shown represent current credit risk, but not the maximum exposure to credit risk that could arise in the future due to changes in fair value.
This refers to problems with liquidity management, insufficient resources to finance the business, and difficulty keeping up with loans or obtaining new credit. Liquidity is monitored through cash flow planning, and risk is mitigated by the Company's extensive credit lines (committed and uncommitted). The assumptions underlying the maturity analysis are as follows: > For the future cash flows of long-term floating-rate payables, the forward rate curve at 31 December has been used;
The Finance department uses a financial forecasting tool to monitor expected cash flows over a one-quarter rolling horizon and makes sure there is enough liquidity to operate the business, while establishing the proper ratio of bank debt to capital market debt. > For the future cash flows of the fixed-rate bonds, the contractual flows have been used; > For derivatives, the analysis includes those represen-
Financial commitments are covered by funds confirmed by the banks, and unutilized credit facilities are available. Liquidity risk is managed prudently to avoid incurring excessive costs in the case of unforeseen events, which could have a further negative impact on market reputation and financial viability.
Most long-term loans and outstanding bonds involve covenants; this aspect is monitored constantly by the chief financial officer, who also coordinates with management to gauge the likelihood of violating the covenants as a result of the strategic, operational, compliance and financial risks mapped, using the enterprise risk management system. liabilities. > Amounts include cash flows from both the interest and the principal component.

In May 2023 IGD contracted a €250 million green secured facility from a pool of major Italian and international banks. The first tranche of €130 million was disbursed the same month and used to pay off various mortgage loans and pay down others by around €120 million. In November, the second tranche was used for the early redemption of the €100 million bond subscribed by an American investor, originally due to mature in January 2024. sued in the amount of €310.006 million. On 14 November 2023 the bondholders' meeting approved changes to various terms and conditions of the bond maturing in November 2024, with an outstanding amount of €57.816 million. The Company also issued partial redemptions to the bondholders who accepted the exchange by the "early bird" deadline, for a total of €32.178 million.
On 5 October 2023, IGD approved the issue of a senior bond and launched an exchange offer and a tender offer for the bond notes maturing on 28 November 2024. The Company then initiated a consent solicitation for the holders of those notes. The acceptance rate for the exchange and tender offer on the bond maturing on 28 November 2024 was 85.55%. A new senior bond was therefore is-

The Company has engaged in derivative contracts for the use of interest rate swaps. The fair value of derivatives for which no active market exists is determined with assistance from specialized firms according to market-based quantitative techniques, i.e. accredited pricing models based on parameters taken as of the individual measurement dates. This method therefore reflects a prioritization of the input data consistent with level 2 of the fair value hierarchy defined by IFRS 13: although quoted prices in active markets (level 1) are not available for these instruments, it is possible to base measurements on data observable either directly or indirectly in the market.

On 23 February 2024 IGD SIIQ, as the outcome of negotiations that took shape early in the year and as authorized by the Board of Directors on 6 February 2024, signed an agreement with Sixth Street (a global investment firm with approximately 75 billion dollars in assets under management), subsidiaries of Starwood Capital (an investment company with 115 billion dollars in assets under management), and Prelios SGR S.p.A. (one of Italy's largest real estate management and services companies) for the sale of a portfolio of 13 assets for €258 million, which does not significantly differ from their carrying amount. The transaction will close by the end of April 2024.
The portfolio is made up of eight hypermarkets (one each in Chioggia, Porto d'Ascoli, Rome, Rimini, Conegliano, and Ascoli Piceno and two in Bologna), three supermarkets (in Civita Castellana, Ravenna, and Rome) and two malls (in Bologna and Chioggia), with combined net rental income of around €17 million per year.
The sale will take place through an Italian closed-end real estate investment fund (REIF) called "Food Fund," established and managed by Prelios SGR S.p.A., the asset management arm of Prelios Group with around €8 billion in assets under management, to which IGD will transfer the properties. For €155 million, IGD will transfer 60% of the fund (class A preferred shares) to a Luxembourg vehicle company (50% Sixth Street and 50% Starwood Capital), while the remaining 40% (class B subordinate shares) will be held by IGD. Further to the sale, IGD's interest in the fund will be measured at fair value on the basis of discounted future cash flows. Given currently foreseeable scenarios, this could mean a reduction in the investment's value by around 18-23%. The estimates used could undergo changes at the close of the sale, considering the shifting landscape of discount rates and the potential cash flow hypotheses that might materialize.
Completion of the sale is not subject to obtaining financing or to other conditions precedent.
IGD will also sign a contract with Prelios SGR in order to remain in charge of project, property & facility management activities for the entire portfolio, with the aim of further increasing its value in the coming years and selling it on the market under the best possible conditions.
The disposal of the portfolio is aimed entirely at reducing the Group's financial leverage. As a result of the transaction, to date the Loan to Value ratio (pro-forma) is expected to decrease by around 3.7 percentage points: with the proceeds of the sale, IGD will pay off in advance part of the mortgage loans on the properties sold as well as some additional loans in accordance with contractual terms and conditions, including the "€310,006,000 Fixed Rate Step-up Notes due 17 May 2027," thereby reducing annualized financial charges by an estimated €11 million. In addition to the above, IGD's income statement will reap further benefits (lower operating costs and greater revenue from project, property & facility management) amounting to some €2 million annually.
At 31 December 2023 the Group had the following major commitments:
> Contract for the construction of a midsize store at the Officine Storiche mixed-use complex, for remaining balance of about €1.6 million.
At 31 December 2023 there were no significant disputes involving IGD SIIQ S.p.A.

On 23 December 2015 the regional tax authorities of Emilia Romagna served IGD SIIQ S.p.A. with two assessments arguing that €240,625.00 in costs incurred in 2010 had been unduly deducted for IRES and IRAP purposes and that the corresponding €48,125.00 in VAT had been unduly credited against VAT payable. The assessments resulted from a notification that the provincial tax authorities of Ravenna had received from the Sicilian regional office, which began by stating that the Sicilian authorities had served Coop Sicilia S.p.A. (head office in San Giovanni La Punta in the province of Catania) with an assessment based on the disallowance of costs incurred for services that were deemed to lack sufficient documentation. On that basis, the Sicilian regional office recommended that the Ravenna provincial authorities disallow the portion of those costs that Coop Sicilia had charged to IGD SIIQ S.p.A. under a contract between the two companies. After reviewing the papers and looking into the matter carefully, IGD's advisors concluded that the assessments are unfounded and filed settlement requests for both with the Emilia Romagna regional office.
During the subsequent debate phase, the company presented its arguments against the assessments to the Emilia Romagna authorities, who decided to consider IGD's arguments regarding IRES and IRAP but to uphold the complaint regarding VAT. Nevertheless, as the deadline approached for contesting the two assessments and no reversal notice had been received from the regional authorities, the company decided to prevent them from becoming definitive and on 6 June 2016 filed a formal appeal against each with the Provincial Tax Commission of Bologna.
On 30 November 2016 the Emilia Romagna regional authorities annulled the IRES assessment in full, while the IRAP/VAT assessment was annulled for the IRAP portion In session on 25 January 2017, the Provincial Tax Commission of Bologna sided with IGD: with decision no. 253/17 filed on 28 February 2017 it definitively cleared the IRES and IRAP assessments, and with decision no. 254/14 (also filed on 28 February 2017) it accepted IGD's arguments concerning VAT and annulled that assessment as well, a ruling that became definitive on 14 June 2018.
For both proceedings, the Commission ordered the revenue office to reimburse IGD's legal expenses in the amount of €6,000.00 total.
On 29 September 2017 the Emilia Romagna regional authorities appealed the VAT decision (254/17) and on 28 November IGD filed its counterarguments against that appeal.
On 9 January 2020, the Emilia Romagna regional authorities filed a statement of defense to rebut the Company's counterarguments.
With a decision filed on 23 November 2020, the Regional Tax Commission of Emilia Romagna confirmed the lower commission's ruling, rejected the regional authorities' appeal, and ordered the regional authorities to pay the costs of both levels of justice in the amount of €7,000.00 (reimbursed in the first half of 2021).
In May 2021 the Emilia Romagna regional authorities filed an appeal with the Court of Cassation and IGD SIIQ S.p.A. filed its response.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured depending on their classification, in accordance with accounting standard IFRS 9.
For this purpose, financial assets are split into four categories:
> Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss: at 31 December 2023 the Company had no financial instruments in this category;
> Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.
The Company's financial instruments are included in the statement of financial position as follows.
> Loans and receivables: in this category the Company has trade, financial and other receivables, and cash and deposits. They mature within 12 months and are therefore carried at face value (net of any impairment), which coincides with amortized cost; > Available for sale financial assets: the Company has no financial instruments belonging to this category. There are only two categories of financial liability: > Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss. At 31 December 2023 the Company had no financial instruments in this category; The item "Current assets" includes trade receivables, other current receivables, and cash and cash equivalents. "Cash and cash equivalents" include bank and post office deposits and cash and valuables on hand. The other assets consist of investments outstanding at the balance sheet date. The item "Non-current liabilities" includes mortgage loans from banks, bond loans, derivatives, sundry payables and security deposits. The item "Current liabilities" covers short-term payables to banks, the current portion of medium/long-term loans, trade payables and other current payables. The items in the statement of financial position are classified below according to the categories required by IFRS 9 at 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2022:
The item "Other non-current assets" covers sundry receivables and other non-current assets, including derivative instruments.

For each financial instrument, both carrying value and fair value are indicated. The two values coincide for most instruments, as their maturity is short term. They differ for long-term instruments, such as mortgage loans, leasing installments and bonds. To calculate the fair value of liabilities measured at amortized cost, the Group has discounted future cash flows to present value using a risk-free (zero coupon) curve estimated at 31 December, as reported by Bloomberg. The calculation takes account of the credit spread that banks would currently grant to IGD. The fair value of interest rate swaps for which no active market exists is determined according to market-based quantitative techniques, i.e. accredited pricing models based on parameters taken as of the individual measurement da-
tes. This method therefore reflects a prioritization of the input data consistent with level 2 of the fair value hierarchy defined by IFRS 13: although quoted prices in active markets (level 1) are not available for these instruments, it is possible to base measurements on data observable either directly or indirectly in the market. The fair value of financial liabilities was calculated using the credit spread that banks would grant to IGD SIIQ S.p.A. as of the measurement date. At 31 December 2023 the estimated credit spread was 6% (3.75% the previous year).
Below is a list of financial assets pledged as collateral for contingent liabilities.
The table below reports the gains and losses from financial instruments held. These derive from securities trading, the impairment of trade receivables, and hedge derivatives.
For hedge derivatives, the table shows the amount of the differentials paid and collected. The effects of fair value changes of derivatives, charged to the cash flow hedge reserve under equity (net of the tax effects), came to a negative €5,861K in 2023 versus a positive €5,627K in 2022.

Refers to the average cost, without taking into account additional borrowing costs like fees and commissions (recurring and non), incurred by a company to service debt. The calculation takes into account the interest payable matured in the period under examination (relating to short-term loans, mortgages, unsecured loans, IRS differentials, bonds and fees paid on financial leases) and the average stock of long and short term debt recorded at the close of every quarter and at the beginning of the period.

FFO (Funds from Operations) is a performance indicator used widely in the real estate sector (REITs).
Core business FFO, which measures the cash flow generated by the Group's core business, is calculated by subtracting non-cash items (writedowns, fair value adjustments, amortization, depreciation and other), as well as the impact of extraordinary transactions and income generated by property sales from pre-tax profit, net of current tax and adjusted to reflect non-recurring items.
Program of investments in development.
Costs directly attributable to the shopping centers.
The dividend yield, or price/dividend ratio, is the company annual dividend payments made or announced divided by closing price of its ordinary shares at the end of the year.
EBIT, or Earnings before Interest and Taxes, differs from EBITDA in that it includes information on amortization, depreciation, changes in the fair value of properties held and provisions for risk.
EBITDA, or Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization, is the most significant measure of a company's operating performance as it indicates earnings before interest payable, taxes, disposals, income/(loss) from equity investments, non-recurring transactions, amortization, depreciation, provisions, as well as impairment and fair value adjustments. Core business Ebitda refers to the core business included in the consolidated income statement which does not include the results posted by the "Porta a Mare Project".
This indicator is calculated by dividing Ebitda by operating income.

EPRA NIY is a performance measurement index and it is calculated as the annualized rental income based on the cash rents passing at the balance sheet date (including one-off and variable income), less non-recoverable property operating expenses, divided by the gross market value of property, net of development property.
The EPRA topped-up NIY is a performance measurement index obtained by making an adjustment to the EPRA NIY with annualized and full-term rental income (including one-off and variable income), i.e. excluding unexpired lease incentives such as discounted rent periods and step rents.
-
Net profit divided by the average number of shares outstanding in the year.
The estimated value at market rates for rentable space, according to an independent appraisal based on similar properties in comparable areas.
It is a performance measure which shows the ratio of the net financial position (which includes financial debt for the headquarters lease and the balance between payables and receivables) to the market value of the real estate assets. The debt and assets of the companies in which the Group has a significant interest are included in the calculation. The gross initial yield of an investment is the annualized rental income used in the first year of the DCF model (Discounted Cash Flow) expressed as a percentage of the property's fair value. // GLA / GROSS LEASABLE AREA
Supply of specialized services to shopping centers such as security, clearing and routine maintenance.
Calculated as the GLA rented at market rates and expressed as a percentage of the market value of the total GLA rented at market rates.
The portfolio's vacancy rate calculated as the ratio between the estimated market rental value (ERV) of the vacant premises and the ERV of for the whole portfolio. Given the different characteristics of the portfolio and the Italian market with respect to the Romanian one, the vacancy rate was calculated separately by asset class and for the two countries. The result obtained by subtracting direct costs from revenues. // HEDGING The total amount of mortgage loans hedged with interest
The gearing ratio reflects the total debt to total equity ratio, including non-controlling interests, and net of the cash flow hedge reserve. It measures financial leverage which demonstrates the degree to which a company's operations are funded by owner's funds versus borrowings and facilitates sector benchmark analysis.
Corporate costs not attributable to the individual shopping center.
The terminal value of the gross revenue (rents, temporary and variable) calculated as a percentage of the exit value.
The total floor area designed for tenant occupancy which includes outside walls.
rate swaps and bonds divided by the total amount of mortgage loans and bonds.
Property with a sales floor in excess of 2,500 sqm, used for the retail sales of food and non-food products.
Measure of the number of times a company's operating profit covers the interest payable on debt. It is an indicator used to understand a company's solvency and ability to assume debt. It is calculated by dividing EBITDA by the net financial expense.
The annualized rental income from a property as a percentage of its valuation at the time of purchase.
Financial instrument whereby two parties agree to exchange a certain interest rate stream on a pre-established date. Using to convert floating rate debt into fixed rate debt.
Real estate assets held in the portfolio for the entire year and the entire prior year.
Revenues from rental activities of the assets held in the portfolio for the entire year and the entire prior year. They are separately calculated for Italy and Romania portfolios and they exclude:
> Revenues from assets that have been acquired, sold or subject to remodeling and therefore they have not reali-
zed any income in the period;
> Missing revenues from instrumental vacancy due to different reasons (i.e. works carried out to create new layouts);
> Exceptional and one-off revenues which would make the comparison less reliable.
Ratio between the amount borrowed (including the lease for IGD's headquarters) and the market value of freehold properties.
Property comprised of many stores plus the common spaces around which they are situated. Usually called a "galleria" in Italian.
Property that includes an aggregation of shops, as well as the common areas on which they insist.
A property with a sales floor area of 250 to 2,500 sqm used for the retail sales of non-food consumer goods.
The main performance indicators that provide stakeholders with information about the fair value of the company's assets and liabilities.
In October 2019, three new asset value metrics were introduced in EPRA Best Practices Recommendations: EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (NRV), EPRA Net Tangible Assets Value (NTA) and EPRA Net Disposal Value (NDV) which replace EPRA NAV and EPRA NNNAV.
Consistent with EPRA Best Practices Recommendations, the new EPRA NAV indicators were used for the first time in the half-year report at 30 June 2020 which include a reconciliation of the calculation used for the old and new indicators, along with the calculation used for the comparison period (2019).
The equity pertaining to the Group, calculated based on EPRA indications which call for a few adjustments.
Certain items are excluded from the NAV calculation for lack of relevance in a business model with a long term view like the Group's. NNNAV provides more relevant information about the fair value of assets and liabilities. The NAV is adjusted to take into account the fair value of (i) hedges, (ii) debt and (iii) deferred taxes.
It represents the equity pertaining to the Group including in the calculation the fair value of the main assets and liabilities that are not included in the EPRA NAV, namely (i) hedges, (ii) debt and (iii) deferred taxes.
Represents the stakeholders' value under a disposal scenario, where deferred tax, financial instruments and certain other adjustments are calculated to the full extent of their liability, net of any resulting tax. In this disposal scenario goodwill is excluded from the Group's portion of equity, while the fair value of debt is included.
Net debt shows financial structure and is calculated by adding long-term debt, short-term debt and the current portion of long-term debt included in "Non-current and current financial liabilities (with third parties and related parties)", net of "Cash and cash equivalents", "Non-current financial assets" and "Financial receivables and other current financial assets (with third parties and related parties)".
The objective of the EPRA Net Reinstatement Value measure is to highlight the value of net assets on a longterm basis. It represents the repurchase value of the company, assuming the company does not sale any properties and is calculated based on the equity attributable to the Group (as shown in the IFRS financial statements), excluding the fair value movements on financial derivatives and deferred taxes on property valuation surpluses.
The underlying assumption behind the EPRA Net Tangible Assets calculation assumes entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallizing certain levels of deferred tax liability. It represents a scenario in which a few properties could be sold. At 31 December 2023 the company does not have any assets which could be sold and for this reason the deferred taxes coincide with the amount excluded from the NRV calculation. Contrary to NRV, the goodwill and the intangible assets included in the financial statements are excluded from the equity attributable to the Group.
Gross let surface area as a percentage of properties' total surface area.
Space rented for an amount exceeding its ERV.
