Following two consecutive years of contraction, Germany's economic outlook for 2025 remains challenging. In 2024, the economy shrank by 0.2%. Recent forecasts indicate that Germany's Gross National Product (GNP) is expected to experience modest growth in 2025. However, structural challenges, including energy transition, an aging workforce, and global economic uncertainties, will continue to shape its long-term trajectory. Policy reforms are needed, and proposed initiatives, such as Friedrich Merz's "Agenda 2030," aim to revitalize the economy through tax cuts and reduced bureaucracy. Even though growth was slightly negative in 2024, the general view is that the resilience of the German economy will increase, especially in 2026. Experts on German real estate have stated that the markets are showing signs of stabilization. CBRE also reported a positive trend: The transaction volume for retail properties increased by 28% compared to 2023. In 2024, the total investment volume reached €6.7 billion, with 47% allocated to commercial properties in prime shopping streets. This is the highest level recorded since data collection began in 2009. After years of significant value losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic and rising interest rates, these figures provide a hopeful outlook. The positive market movements meant that valuation multiples remained largely stable. Several major retail chains are experiencing sales growth, and management has assessed that the demand for well-located leases is increasing. Encouragingly, leasing activity saw a notable upswing in 2024. New rental agreements beginning in the spring of 2025, such as those with Bestseller (Only Stores Germany GmbH) in Rosenheim and Apollo-Optik in Gütersloh, underline a positive demand development for well-located retail premises. Annual Report 2024 6 Capital increase and repayment of loans In the 3rd quarter of 2024, the Company completed a capital increase with net cash proceeds of EUR 6.0 million. In October 2024, the secured deposit of EUR 1.5 million, together with part of the proceeds from the capital increase of EUR 6.0 million, was used for a deleveraging of the Group’s bank debt by an extraordinary repayment totalling EUR 5.5 million. The Group's bank debt amounts to EUR 27.9 million at the end of 2024. The remaining EUR 1.9 million from the capital increase's net cash proceeds will mainly be used for improvements to the Company's investment properties. 2024 annual result The annual report 2023 as well as the interim report for the 3rd quarter of 2024 announced an expected result before tax and value adjustments in the EUR 0.0 – 0.3 million range. The Group's result before value adjustments and tax amounted to EUR 0.1 million in 2024 (EUR 0.3 million in 2023), in accordance with the latest announced expectations. Photo: Frankfurt, Börsenplatz Annual Report 2024 7 Development of the property value As part of the accounting process, as in previous years, the management obtained a market valuation of the Group’s properties from a German real estate agent specializing in prime retail properties. The market valuation has been included in the board and management's assessment of the market price development for the Group's German properties. In 2024, the market for well-located properties has been characterized by largely stable valuation multiples (gross capitalization factors). The combination of a higher expected rental income for retail premises and stable valuation factors on the properties of German High Street Properties A/S has led to an increase in the value of German high street properties. Based on the valuation report as of December 31, 2024, the Group has increased the value of the German property portfolio by EUR 0.1 million, from EUR 91.0 million to EUR 91.1 million (previously adjusted down to EUR 89.5 million in the half-year report for 2024). According to the management's assessment, the above valuation corresponds to the fair market value as of December 31, 2024.

At the end of 2024, the Group's properties are almost fully let, apart from few residential leases currently being rented. The leasing activity in the Group's German properties has progressed as expected, and the realized rental income for the year 2024 increased EUR 150,000 compared to 2023. As shown in the following specification the rental income + costs at the end of 2024 is 0.4% lower than at the end of 2023. Annual Report 2024 Property description Aachen, Grosskölnstrasse 20 – 28: The property is centrally located on the pedestrian street of Aachen, just 100 meters from the historic town hall and the Old Town.

An extension of the original contractual basis has now been agreed upon January 31, 2028, and at the same time all legal disputes have been lifted. It is the management's opinion that this is an advantageous extension of the contract mainly because the tenant SiNN GmbH, which should have taken over the premises rented by AppelrathCüpper GmbH, has now filed for insolvency.

Investments and dividends Re-letting the remaining vacant premises generally requires renovation work to be carried out. A significant investment will be needed for a couple of properties in connection with tenant turnover – for example in Rosenheim where ONLY Stores Germany GmbH will rent the premises as of May 1, 2025.

Therefore, the board recommends to the general assembly that the Company does not pay dividends for the fiscal year 2024.

Annual Report 2024 Photo: Aachen Town Hall – Markt, 52062 Aachen, Germany 30 Balance sheet (Group) Assets The management assessed the investment value in German properties at EUR 91.1 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to EUR 91.0 million as of December 31, 2023.

Subsequent events There have been no subsequent events. Photo: Berliner Strasse – Gütersloh, Germany Annual Report 2024 32 Expectations for 2025 The management still expects a recovery of the German economy for specific industries. Rent and vacancy levels will remain at the same level as at the end of 2024, and a slightly lower interest rate will mean that the Group’s result for 2025 before value adjustments and tax is expected to be in the range of EUR 0.3 – 0.7 million, cf. Stock Exchange announcement No. 270. However, the expectation is given with a reservation for a higher interest rate than expected, as the general geopolitical situation may negatively affect the result. The management believes that the demand for well-located premises will increase slightly in 2025, making reletting easier. However, improvements in several leases will be required for reletting and tenant changes. Accounting reporting process To ensure high quality in the Group's financial reporting, the management has adopted several procedures and guidelines for accounting and internal controls which must be followed by the subsidiaries in their reporting, including: Quarterly follow-up on achieved goals and results at the Group level are: • Prepared estimates for income statements, balance sheets, cash flow, and key figures at the Group level. • Ongoing follow-up on projects, including handling of risks and accounting treatment thereof. • Accounting closing instructions. • Reporting instructions. Annual Report 2024 33 Statement of corporate social responsibility in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act § 99a In connection with property renovations, German High Street Properties A/S has established an environmental and climate policy to comply with all applicable building regulations and reduce energy and resource consumption where it is economically advantageous. We assess that our property portfolio, which consists of retail, residential, and office properties, does not pose specific climate and environmental risks. The properties are not located in coastal areas or near rivers and are not leased for environmentally harmful or hazardous purposes. They are mainly located in urban areas and have constructions not considered sensitive to climate change in the medium term. More climate-friendly and contemporary materials are generally used when major repairs or improvements are made to properties. These include windows with energy-efficient glass, better-insulated roofs, LED lighting, and more efficient heating systems (typically district heating). Extra insulation is typically added when roofs are replaced, and when heating sources are replaced there is usually a switch to district heating and the integration of new energy efficient pumps and valves. The property managers and caretakers are instructed to focus on saving energy and continuously optimizing energy use. The Group tries to limit its travel activity where possible. CO2 is emitted during the daily operation and use of buildings. German High Street Properties A/S's properties are no exception, and this emission and the consequences of ongoing renovation and maintenance are among the most significant environmental risks. Waste from demolitions may also contain hazardous substances. Machinery and/or materials may have environmentally harmful impacts on some of the construction processes of German High Street Properties A/S. German High Street Properties A/S expects that recycling, and new technologies will support the opportunity to reduce CO2 emissions. To measure results because of the Company's work with the environment and climate, projects have been initiated in 2024 that enable the effect on the environment and climate to be measured in 2025. Examples include monitoring electricity consumption, water usage, and waste sorting. Annual Report 2024 34 Description of the business model Core activities: German High Street Properties A/S aims to invest in well-located properties in cities with economic and demographic growth in Scandinavia, Germany, Switzerland, and England. The properties, primarily with shops on the ground floor and offices or residential units on the other floors, were acquired in 2007-2008. Value proposition: The value proposition of German High Street Properties A/S is to offer shareholders a long-term investment opportunity in attractively located rental properties. Customers: Our primary customer segments include both small stock investors and institutional stock investors. Our secondary customer segments include retail chains that are tenants in our properties and ordinary renters. We work closely with our customers to understand their unique needs and tailor our products and services to meet those needs. Annual Report 2024 Revenue streams: Our revenue streams are generated through rental income from retail chains that are tenants in our properties and from ordinary renters. Key partners: Through our German property management company and German real estate agents, we collaborate to expand our reach and enhance our offerings. These partnerships are crucial for driving innovation and providing better offers to our customers. Cost structure: Our primary costs are related to the operation, maintenance, and improvements of our properties. We focus on cost efficiency and scalability to ensure a sustainable business model. 35 Annual Report 2024 Human rights The Group's most significant risks concerning respect for human rights relate to discrimination and lack of diversity. German High Street Properties A/S operates solely in Denmark and Germany, both of which have ratified the UN's human rights convention. The Company respects each individual and does not accept that employees, tenants, or other external parties are subjected to discrimination. The Group views diversity as a strength that creates a positive workplace. The diversity here refers to variety in terms of gender, age, religion, ethnic origin, sexuality, education, professional experience, opinions, interests, and much more. The Company operates only in economically and politically stable countries and complies with all applicable regulations, including labour rights, agreements, etc. The Group does not enter into agreements with companies or individuals who do not respect human rights. The goal is to prevent human rights violations. From January 1 to December 31, 2024, there were no human rights violations. During staff replacements, all qualified individuals are encouraged to apply for the positions regardless of gender, age, religion, etc. Management continuously ensures that the policy guidelines are followed. The Company will continue its antidiscrimination efforts in 2025. 36 Annual Report 2024 Risks related to social conditions and employee relations German High Street Properties A/S employs only a few employees, as almost all tasks are outsourced to subcon-tractors and partners. Therefore, German High Street Properties A/S has not developed an actual policy for the area. Likewise, no special risks were assessed. Anti-corruption German High Street Properties A/S has a policy against corruption. The property and company administrators or their partners may not receive unusual gifts from suppliers or give gifts beyond minor occasional gifts. There is a risk that subcontractors could engage in corruption/bribery of, for example, authorities by paying them “out of their pocket”. Additionally, there is a risk that local property administrators in Germany could receive money from subcontractors in the form of kickbacks. In tenders, there is also a risk of cartel formation. In the ongoing controlling of local property administrators in Germany by the manager, there is a focus on ensuring that German High Street Properties A/S only pays bills after normal vouchers with documented expenses and that prices are benchmarked against usual costs. No corruption was detected from January 1 to December 31, 2024, during the control and review of contracts. German High Street Properties A/S will ensure that all suppliers and employees contribute to anti-corruption in the coming years. 37 Annual Report 2024 Statement on management issues Good corporate governance The board of German High Street Properties A/S considers safeguarding the Group's - and thereby the shareholders' - long-term interests its most important task. The Group's overall management guidelines are described in its statutes, objectives, and strategy. They are based on values that stem from generally recognized principles of good corporate governance. The board and the executive team are responsible for the Group's risk management and internal controls in relation to financial reporting, including compliance with relevant legislation and other regulations concerning financial reporting. The Company has established risk management and internal control systems to ensure that the internal and external financial reporting is accurate and free from significant misinformation. The executive team has established a reporting process that includes budget and periodic reporting, including explanations for variances and periodic updates of the year's estimates. In addition to the comprehensive income statement, balance sheet, and liquidity forecast, the reporting also includes supplementary information.

The board of German High Street Properties A/S annually assesses the Group's rules, policies, and practices concerning the Committee on Corporate Governance's recommendations.

The Group currently does not follow and does not expect to follow any corporate governance codes other than the ones mentioned above in the foreseeable future. https://www.germanhighstreet.com/corporate-governance. Annual Report 2024 39 Evaluation of the board and executive management The Company’s board conducted a board evaluation in 2024. All board members participated in the evaluation. The main conclusions were that there was consensus among the board members about the Group's strategic priorities and that the board possesses the relevant competencies related to the Group's activities and strategic focus areas. The conclusions from the board evaluation will be used as a basis in the future when searching for relevant board candidates. Annual Report 2024 Photo: Berliner Platz – Gütersloh, Germany 40 Remuneration policy The Company’s board is compensated with a fixed honorarium and does not receive incentive-based remuneration.

Purpose This diversity policy aims to outline the framework and principles for the Group's view on and inclusion of diversity in the Group's business operations and management. Policy The Group considers diversity an essential factor and opportunity that can improve the Group's competitiveness in both the short and long term. The Group is against any form of discrimination and aims to treat applicants and employees equally, regardless of differences in, among others: • Gender, age, sexuality, ethnic origin, disability, and life situation • Attitudes and opinions, religion, interests, ambitions, life philosophy, personal causes • The Group expects that respect for these differences will also apply to employee relations. Efforts and results The Group informs all new employees about the company's policy and ensures that no discrimination has taken place in the appointment of positions in daily management. In 2024, the Group's management was not aware of or informed about any cases of discrimination, either in the appointment of management positions or generally in connection with the Group's activities. 42 Annual Report 2024 43 Statement on Social Conditions Objectives and Policies for the Underrepresented Gender in Accordance with the Annual Accounts Act § 99b In the Company, the board has set a goal to have at least 25% female members in 2024. December 31, 2024, the board was represented with 33 % female members. The board aims to ensure a diverse management composition and equal opportunities for both genders. The target for the proportion of female board members was set at 25% in 2017, and by the end of 2022, the Company met this target. The board's composition is carried out so the Group can develop steadily and satisfactorily, considering general and specific legal requirements and recommendations for good corporate governance. Furthermore, as board members are replaced, the board will work towards rejuvenating the ages of board members. The board will assess the status of meeting the objectives at least once a year and, as far as possible, nominate suitable female candidates for the board at upcoming general meetings to maintain the goal. From January 1 to December 31, 2024, German High Street Properties A/S had fewer than 50 employees. The Company is not obligated to establish and report on a policy for increasing the underrepresented gender in other management layers. Statement of Data Ethics Statement of Data Ethics in Accordance with the Annual Accounts Act § 99d The Group does not have a formalized policy for data ethics. The Group only processes data for business purposes. The Group does not use new technologies such as artificial intelligence, advanced algorithms, surveillance, etc. Data processed in the Group is not available to third parties. If there were to be a desire to make data available to third parties, it would have to be approved by the Group's top management. The Group complies with applicable legislation regarding the processing of personal data. The Group generally does not process sensitive personal data, except for employee data. Annual Report 2024 Photo: Aachen, Grosskölnstrasse 44 Special risks IT security With the increased use of digitalization in business, digital threats and risks also increase. German High Street Properties A/S continuously discusses the development of risks and threats. We follow the developments and ensure that we are as well-prepared as possible to handle the current threat landscape. Risk management The Group is exposed to several risks, some of which are beyond the Group's control while others can be influenced or managed as part of the daily operations. Significant risks beyond the Group's control include general economic development, pandemics, geopolitical unrest, natural disasters, energy supply, and a demand for retail and office rentals in the cities and areas where the Group's properties are located. Changes in general economic conditions can lead to falls or increases in property values, increased vacancies, falling rental incomes, and slower tenant payments. The Group cannot change these fundamental conditions but can seek to organize rental and investment activities to minimize the adverse effects of economic cycles. Active risk management is part of the Group's strategy to optimize earning opportunities. The Group seeks to address and manage risks which can be influenced. The following are the risks considered to potentially negatively impact the Group’s future growth, activities, financial position, and results. This description is not exhaustive and does not prioritize the listed risk factors. Annual Report 2024 45 Other risks Active risk management is part of the Group's strategy to optimize earning opportunities. The Group seeks as far as possible to address and manage risks that its actions can influence. The property market is sensitive to economic cycles, which is reflected in periodic significant property price fluctuations. The overarching framework for the Group's risk management is continuously assessed by the board and management based on, among other things, reporting from the Group's partners in property management. Below are the risks considered to potentially negatively impact the Group’s future growth, activities, financial position, and results. This description is not exhaustive and does not prioritize the listed risk factors. Operational risks The operation of the property portfolio can be affected by changes in realized rental income and costs for operation and maintenance. Management manages risks based on ongoing reporting and only entering administration agreements with recognized partners. Annual Report 2024 46 Rental income risk Investing in real estate is associated with leasing risk, which mainly concerns the development of the rent level and vacant rents. Such deviations can be due to various factors, including a tenant's ability to pay rent, the Group's ability to adjust the rent, general and specific demand and supply development in local markets, development in vacancy rates, and the development of market rent levels for German properties. The Group's management and company administrator closely monitor rent developments through periodic and systematic reporting. This is to focus on leasing vacant premises, managing the duration of new contracts, avoiding concentration of expiration dates, ensuring stability, and minimizing the vacancy rate as much as possible. In the short term, some tenants may demand a rent reduction due to external events. If the amount set aside is insufficient, expected court decisions regarding previous operating years may affect the result. Costs of operation and maintenance Management assesses that the planned expenses for operation and maintenance are sufficient to maintain the current rental income and the current technical condition of the property portfolio. However, there is a risk that actual expenses may be higher than expected. External factors can also affect actual maintenance costs, including weather conditions, technical conditions, regulatory requirements, commercial decisions, development in general price levels, and lack of capacity in the market for labour and materials. The environmental impact of operating the portfolio is attempted to be reduced through minimizing energy consumption where it is economically justifiable and where it can lead to a reduction in operating costs. On the other hand, changes in regulatory requirements for environmental conditions can increase operating costs. Annual Report 2024 47 Credit risk The Group does not have a particular concentration of credit risks. Credit risks relate to tenant receivables and other short-term assets, including liquid holdings. Risk management takes place at the Group level in accordance with management guidelines. The guidelines include credit approval of new tenants and ongoing monitoring of receivables. Reporting to management is done monthly. Impairment is made based on an individual assessment of receivables from leasing to the extent that the Group expects to be unable to recover the arrears. Risk regarding property administration The Group's ability to efficiently manage the portfolio will affect the development of rental income and its planned optimization. STRABAG Property and Facility Services GmbH is a medium-sized property administrator in Germany with broad geographic coverage. Market risks The portfolio's value depends on its commercial operation and income and the development and pricing of investment properties in Germany - specifically, German high street properties. The general pricing of high street properties is influenced by several factors, among which are current inflation and expectations for future inflation, current interest rate levels and expectations for future interest rates, future property investors' demands for net yield for similar properties, the extent of new construction of various property types, demand for premises, general and local population development, general economic development, particularly economic growth, employment development, development in German private consumption, development in retail stores' turnover and earnings, and changes in the public sector's activity level and demand for premises. Currency risk The Group owns only properties in Germany, so its assets and ongoing income are in EUR. The Group has also financed the German properties in EUR to reduce currency risk. Management assesses the currency risk of investing in EUR as limited relative to DKK. Annual Report 2024 48 2024 Change in rate of interest (in %) +1.0 Base -1.0 Yearly financial expenses EUR 1,000 1,477 1,198 919 Change in Yearly financial expenses EUR 1,000 279 0 -279 2023 Change in rate of interest (%) +1.0 Base -1.0 Yearly financial expenses EUR 1,000 1,846 1,470 1,094 Change in Yearly financial expenses EUR 1,000 376 0 -376 As a result of its operations, investments, and financing, the Group is exposed to changes in interest rates. The board closely follows developments in the financial markets. Interest rate risk As of December 31, 2024, the Group's outstanding debt amounted to EUR 27.9 million. The Company repaid an extraordinary EUR 5.5 million in 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the outstanding debt was EUR 37.7 million. The Group took out a 10-year loan of EUR 46 million in 2017 which would mature in 2027. In 2024, the bank loan was renegotiated and extended until February 1, 2030. The loans total EUR 27.9 million were divided into a standing loan of EUR 15 million and a serial loan that amounted to EUR 12.9 million as of December 31, 2024. The serial loan is repaid with EUR 645,780 annually The loans bear interest at the 3-month Euribor + 1.75% margin. As of December 31, 2024, the 3-month Euribor was 2.5%, so the total interest rate, including the margin, was 4.25%. As of December 31, 2023, the interest rate, including the margin, was approximately 5.2 % p.a. A change of 1.0 percentage points in the general interest rate level would result in a change in the Group's annual interest expense before tax of EUR 279,000 which will affect both the Group’s result for the period and the total equity. Annual Report 2024 49 Refinancing and liquidity risks As an important part of risk management, management closely monitors the Group's liquidity reserve, which is intended to ensure that the Group can service its current and future obligations, including payment of interest and principal to lenders. The Group's loans relating to German properties total EUR 27.9 million end of December 2024 have been agreed with non-renegotiating clauses from the lenders' side until 2030 if the DSCR (annual net rent (Kaltmiete)0.75/annual payments under the loan) is higher than 1.30. As of December 31, 2024, the DSCR has been calculated to be 1.75. Political risks regarding Danish and German tax and duty Legislation The Group is subject to the prevailing laws regarding taxes and duties, and no assurance can be given that tax and/or duty legislation changes will not occur - including changes in the double taxation agreement between Denmark and Germany. Significant changes in law or practice regarding taxes and duties could affect the Group's financial position and results. German companies that have no other activities than renting out real estate are, as a starting point, exempt from paying German trade tax of 15-19%. As the rules regarding local German trade tax are complex, full assurance cannot be obtained that the conditions for exemption from local German trade tax will always be met. If the German tax authorities challenge the conditions for exemption, this could lead to additional unbudgeted tax payments. In collaboration with German tax advisors, the management assesses that it will be possible to avoid German trade tax. Annual Report 2024 50 Board of Directors and Management Board and executive management German High Street Properties A/S management consists of a board of three members. Executive management consists of one member who handles the daily operations. The board was elected at the annual general meeting on April 30, 2024.

It is also our opinion that the directors' report contains an accurate and fair account of the development of the Group's and the Parent Company’s activities and financial conditions, the profit for the period, and the Group's and the Parent Company’s financial position, and a description of the significant risks and uncertainty factors that the Group and the Parent Company face.

Charlottenlund, March 28, 2025 Executive management Michael Hansen Board of Directors Hans Thygesen Claude Olof Nikolaj Zethraeus Chairman Vice Chairman Jutta Steinert Annual Report 2024 60 Independent Auditor’s Report To the shareholders of German High Street Properties A/S Report on the audit of the Financial Statements Our opinion In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the Group’s and the Parent Company’s financial position at December 31, 2024 and of the results of the Group’s and the Parent Company’s operations and cash flows for the financial year January 1 to December 31, 2024 in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act. Our opinion is consistent with our Auditor’s Long-form Report to the Board of Directors. Annual Report 2024 Photo: PricewaterhouseCoopers in Copenhagen, Denmark 61 What we have audited The Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements of German High Street Properties A/S for the financial year January 1 to December 31, 2024 comprise income statement and statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of equity, statement of cash flow and notes, including material accounting policy information for the Group as well as for the Parent Company. Collectively referred to as the “Financial Statements”. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements applicable in Denmark. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. To the best of our knowledge and belief, prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 were not provided. Annual Report 2024 62 Appointment We were first appointed auditors of German High Street Properties A/S on June 25, 2007 for the financial year 2007. We have been reappointed annually by shareholder resolution for a total period of uninterrupted engagement of 18 years including the financial year 2024. We were reappointed following a tendering procedure at the General Meeting on April 28, 2017. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial Statements for 2024.These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Valuation of Investment Properties The Group owns a portfolio of investment properties that are valued at fair value at December 31, 2024. Valuation of investment properties at fair value contains significant estimates based on significant assumptions, where even minor changes in the assumptions can have a significant effect on the fair value of the properties. Management has used the capitalisation method to determine the fair value. The model is described in note 2 and 12, with market rent and yield being the significant assumptions. Management has obtained valuations from an external valuer to support the fair value determined by Management for all significant properties; including the assumptions used, with market rent and yield being the significant assumptions. We focused on this area as valuation of investment properties at fair value is based on significant estimates which are subjective and have a high degree of estimation uncertainty. Refer to note 2 and 12 We performed risk assessment procedures with the purpose of achieving an understanding of procedures and relevant controls relating to valuation of investment properties. In respect of controls, we assessed whether these were designed and implemented effectively to address the risk of material misstatement. We assessed the method used by management to measure the fair value of investment properties. We verified on a sample basis the accuracy of data used. We assessed and challenged the assumptions applied, using our knowledge of the real estate market and professional scepticism. We assessed the competencies and independence of external valuer used by Management. We compared the fair values determined by the management with the external valuer’s assessments. Furthermore, we assessed the appropriateness of disclosures. Annual Report 2024 63 Statement on Management’s Review Management is responsible for Management’s Review. Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover Management’s Review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read Management’s Review and, in doing so, consider whether Management’s Review is materially inconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. Moreover, we considered whether Management’s Review includes the disclosures required by the Danish Financial Statements Act. Based on the work we have performed, in our view, Management’s Review is in accordance with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act. We did not identify any material misstatement in Management’s Review. Management’s responsibilities for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and parent company financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the Financial Statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Group’s and the Parent Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Annual Report 2024 64 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s and the Parent Company’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management. • Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s and the Parent Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group or the Parent Company to cease to continue as a going concern. Annual Report 2024 65 • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view. • Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and, where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter. Annual Report 2024 66 Report on compliance with the ESEF Regulation As part of our audit of the Financial Statements we performed procedures to express an opinion on whether the annual report of German High Street Properties A/S for the financial year January 1 to December 31, 2024 with the filename 529900BT3M81VV58P678-2024- 12-31-en.zip is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 on the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF Regulation) which includes requirements related to the preparation of the annual report in XHTML format and iXBRL tagging of the Consolidated Financial Statements including notes. Management is responsible for preparing an annual report that complies with the ESEF Regulation. This responsibility includes: • The preparing of the annual report in XHTML format; • The selection and application of appropriate iXBRL tags, including extensions to the ESEF taxonomy and the anchoring thereof to elements in the taxonomy, for all financial information required to be tagged using judgement where necessary; • Ensuring consistency between iXBRL tagged data and the Consolidated Financial Statements presented in human-readable format; and • For such internal control as Management determines necessary to enable the preparation of an annual report that is compliant with the ESEF Regulation. Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the annual report is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation based on the evidence we have obtained, and to issue a report that includes our opinion. The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material departures from the requirements set out in the ESEF Regulation, whether due to fraud or error. The procedures include: • Testing whether the annual report is prepared in XHTML format; • Obtaining an understanding of the company’s iXBRL tagging process and of internal control over the tagging process; • Evaluating the completeness of the iXBRL tagging of the Consolidated Financial Statements including notes; • Evaluating the appropriateness of the company’s use of iXBRL elements selected from the ESEF taxonomy and the creation of extension elements where no suitable element in the ESEF taxonomy has been identified; • Evaluating the use of anchoring of extension elements to elements in the ESEF taxonomy; and • Reconciling the iXBRL tagged data with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements. Annual Report 2024 67 In our opinion, the annual report of German High Street Properties A/S for the financial year January 1 to December 31, 2024 with the filename 529900BT3M81VV58P678-2024-12-31-en.zip is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation.

The Parent Company's consolidated financial statements and annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with the IFRS accounting standards (IFRS) as approved by the EU, the IFRS decree issued under the Danish Financial Statement Act, and the additional regulations of Nasdaq Copenhagen for companies with listed shares. The consolidated financial and annual financial statements for the Parent Company for 2024 are presented in EUR 1,000. The applied accounting practices are unchanged compared to the annual financial statements for 2023. New and amended standards adopted by the Group. The group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for its annual reporting period commencing 1 January 2024: • Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (with Covenants) - amendments to IAS 1. • Sale and Leaseback – amendments to IFRS 16 • Supplier Financing Arrangements – amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 The amendments listed above did not have any impact on the amounts recognized in prior periods and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods. New accounting regulation. At the time of publication of this annual report, a number of new or revised standards and interpretations have been issued, but they have not yet come into effect and have not been approved by the EU. IASB has issued a new international accounting standard that replaces IAS 1 as of January 1, 2027. The replacement of IAS 1 is IFRS 18 and will affect the Group in terms of the presentation and information in the annual report. The new standard sets more explicit requirements for the presentation of performance measures, information on management-defined performance measures, as well as fewer changes and clarifications. Among other things, the general principles for the presentation of financial statements in IAS 1 are the same in IFRS 18. Further new and revised standards and interpretations are not expected to have a significant impact on the annual report for the coming financial years. Annual Report 2024 75 Consolidation practices The consolidated financial statements include the Parent Company German High Street Properties A/S and companies in which the Parent Company directly or indirectly holds the majority of voting rights or has a controlling influence through share ownership or otherwise. In the consolidation, items of a similar nature are combined. The financial statements used for consolidation are prepared in accordance with the Group's accounting practices. The Parent Company's capital shares in the consolidated subsidiaries were offset against the Parent Company's share of the subsidiaries' book value when the Group relationship was established. Foreign currency translation Functional currency In the consolidated financial statements, the items contained in the annual reports of the Group companies are measured in the currency used in the primary economic environment where the companies operate (functional currency). The functional currency is: For the Danish Parent Company: DKK For the German subsidiaries: EUR Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are foreign currency transactions. Annual Report 2024 76 Foreign currency transactions Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency are translated at the exchange rate on the transaction date for initial recognition. Receivables, liabilities, and other monetary items in foreign currency that have not been settled at the balance sheet date are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Exchange rate differences arising between the exchange rate on the transaction date and the rate on the payment date or the balance sheet date are recognized in the income statement as financial items. Tangible and intangible assets, inventories, and other non-monetary assets purchased in foreign currency and measured based on historical costs are translated at the exchange rate on the transaction date. Non-monetary items revalued to fair market value or written down are translated using the exchange rate at the time of revaluation or write-down. Presentation currency The annual report is presented in EUR (presentation currency) because all the Group's significant transactions and accounting items are in EUR. When recognizing in the consolidated financial statements of companies with a different functional currency than the Euro (EUR), income statements are converted at the average exchange rates for the year unless these differ significantly from the actual exchange rates at the times of transactions. In the latter case, the actual exchange rates are used. Balance sheet items are translated at the exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Exchange rate differences arising from the translation of balance sheet items at the beginning of the year to the exchange rates on the balance sheet date and from translating income statements from average rates to the balance sheet date rates are recognized in other comprehensive income and classified as a separate reserve under equity. This translation also includes exchange rate differences arising from the translation of intra-Group balances where settlement is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, as such balances are considered an addition to or deduction from the net investment. Similarly, other comprehensive income also recognizes exchange rate differences resulting from changes directly in the entity's equity. Annual Report 2024 77 Items in the income statement Revenue: Rental income is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Net rental income is calculated excluding VAT and after deducting discounts. Rental income is recognized in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 16. Rental income from operating lease contracts is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract. The Group has no contingent rental income. Operating costs of properties Operating costs include expenses incurred to achieve the year's revenue. They also include direct and indirect operating costs, such as repairs and maintenance, that do not add new and improved features to the properties and property management. Personnel costs Personnel costs include wages and staff expenses incurred in the management and administration of the Group. Administrative expenses Administrative expenses include costs incurred during the year for the management and administration of the Group. Result from shareholdings in subsidiaries The proportionate share of the result for the year from shareholdings in subsidiaries is recognized in the income statement under the item "Result from shareholdings in subsidiaries". Value adjustment of investment properties Changes in the fair market value of investment properties are recognized in the income statement under the item "Value adjustment of investment properties". Financial income and expenses Financial income and expenses include interest, realized and unrealized foreign exchange adjustments, and amortization of loan costs to credit institutions. Annual Report 2024 78 Tax on the year's result The current tax for the year and deferred tax for the year are recognized in the income statement for the portion that can be attributed to the year's result, in other comprehensive income for the portion that can be attributed to other comprehensive income, and directly in equity for the portion that can be attributed to equity transactions. Changes in deferred tax due to changes in tax rates are recognized in the income statement. The Parent Company is jointly taxed with Kartago Property ApS. Discontinued operation The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the income statement, and the cash flows from discontinued activities are presented separately in note 6. Discontinued Operation is defined as the cessation of property operations in a specific geographic region. Items in the balance sheet Investment properties: Investment properties are properties held to earn rental income and/or capital gains. Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including the properties' purchase price and any directly attributable costs. Subsequently, investment properties are measured at fair market value. See note 2 for a description of the measurement of investment properties at fair market value. Costs that add new or improved features to an investment property compared to the time of acquisition and thereby improve the property's future returns are added to the acquisition cost as improvements. Costs that do not add new or improved features to an investment property are expensed in the income statement under the operating costs of the properties. Interest costs are not included in the cost of investment properties, as they are measured at fair market value. Value adjustments are recognized in the income statement. Properties expected to be sold are reclassified as "Investment properties held for sale". Annual Report 2024 79 Shareholdings in subsidiaries The proportionate share of the year's result is recognized in the income statement under the item "Result from shareholdings in subsidiaries." Shareholdings in subsidiaries are recognized and measured using the equity method. Under the item "Shareholdings in subsidiaries," the proportional ownership share of the companies' book value is recognized in the balance sheet based on the fair market value of the identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition. The total net increase in shareholdings in subsidiaries is allocated via profit distribution to the "Reserve for net increase under the equity method" under equity. Dividend distributions to the Parent Company reduce the reserve and adjust it for other equity movements in the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries with a negative book value are recognized at DKK 0. If the Parent Company has a legal or factual obligation to cover the Group's participants' deficit, a provision for this obligation is recognized. Loans to subsidiaries Loans to subsidiaries are measured at amortized cost in the Parent Company's accounts, which corresponds to their nominal value. Impairments on receivables are made when it is expected that the Group will not be able to recover all amounts due by the original terms of the receivables. The impairment is calculated based on an individual assessment of each receivable and represents the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of expected future payments. Receivables Receivables are recognized in the balance sheet at fair market value at initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortized cost, corresponding to their nominal value. Impairments on receivables are made when it is expected that the Group will not be able to recover all amounts due to the original terms of the receivables. The impairment is calculated based on an individual assessment of each receivable and represents the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of expected future payments. Annual Report 2024 80 Liquidity Liquid assets consist of cash holdings, deposits in bank accounts, and other short-term, highly liquid investments with an insignificant risk of value changes and with original maturities of no more than three months. Equity Dividends proposed by management for distribution for the fiscal year are shown as separate items under equity. Purchase and disposal prices and dividends for own shares are recognized directly in retained earnings in equity. Financial liabilities Mortgage loans and loans from credit institutions related to investment properties are recognized at the time of borrowing, as the proceeds received fewer transaction costs incurred. In subsequent periods, the loans are measured at amortized cost, so the difference between the proceeds and the nominal value is recognized in the income statement as an interest expense over the loan period using the effective interest method. Loans are classified as short-term liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer the debt settlement for at least one year from the balance sheet date. Annual Report 2024 81 Deferred tax Using the balance sheet liability method, deferred tax is recognized on all temporary differences between the accounting and tax values of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rules and rates applicable under the legislation at the balance sheet date when it is expected to be realized as the current tax. In cases where the valuation of the tax value can be performed under alternative taxation rules, deferred tax is measured based on the planned use of the asset or settlement of the liability. Deferred tax on investment properties is calculated as the tax effect of selling the properties at their accounting value on the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets, including the tax value of tax losses that can be carried forward, are measured at the value at which the asset is expected to be realized, either through offsetting in the tax of future earnings or by offsetting against deferred tax liabilities. Fair market value measurement and disclosure The fair market value of financial instruments traded in an active market is measured at the latest quoted price. The valuation is based as far as possible on observable market data. The fair market value of loans is based on the Company's current interest rate for comparable loans. Cash flow statement The cash flow statement shows the Group's cash flow for the year, divided into operating, investing, and financing activities, the year's change in liquidity, and the Group's liquidity at the beginning and end of the year. The liquidity effect of purchases and sales of businesses is shown separately under cash flows from investing activities. In the cash flow statement, cash flows relating to purchased companies are recognized from the date of acquisition, and cash flows relating to sold companies are recognized up to the date of sale. The cash flow statement is prepared using an indirect method based on the year's profit before tax. Cash flow from operating activities Cash flow from operating activities is calculated as the year's profit adjusted for changes in working capital and non-cash income items such as depreciation and provisions. Working capital includes short-term assets minus short-term liabilities, excluding items included in liquidity. Cash flow from investment activities Cash flow from investment activities includes cash flow from purchasing and selling intangible, tangible, and financial fixed assets. Annual Report 2024 82 Cash flow from financing activities Cash flow from financing activities includes cash flow from raising and repaying long-term debt obligations, as well as payments to and from the Group's participants. Liquidity Liquid holdings in the cash flow statement include bank account deposits and other short-term, easily tradable investments with an insignificant risk of value change, which are not pledged as security. Liquid holdings in the balance sheet include those available for free use and those pledged as security for lenders. The cash flow statement cannot be derived solely from the published financial statements.

Management considers the following estimates and judgments the most significant for the Group. Measurement of investment properties at fair market value The management assesses that the selected accounting policy, where investment properties are measured at fair market value, provides the best expression of the Group's assets and liabilities, financial position, and the results of the Group's activities. The chosen accounting policy can have significant implications for the income statement and balance sheet. Fluctuations in fair market value during the financial year will affect the measurement of investment properties in the balance sheet and will be reflected in the income statement. The best evidence of fair market values for the Group's investment properties is current prices in an active market for similar investment properties. In the absence of such information, fair market value is determined within a range of probable estimated values. Annual Report 2024 84 Tax The Group has taxable activities in Denmark and Germany, and the current tax is calculated based on the expected taxable incomes in both countries. If the tax authorities disagree with the estimates made upon reviewing the Group's tax returns, the previously calculated tax can change. Additionally, deferred tax is calculated based on an assessment of the future current tax that will be payable in relation to items in the financial statements. This assessment is based on expectations of future taxable profits and tax planning strategies, including expectations regarding exit strategies. Future changes in legislation governing corporate tax rules and other changes in these expectations, including whether the sale occurs as a sale of shares or as a sale of individual properties, can thus cause the future payable tax to differ significantly from the calculated deferred tax. This year's tax calculation is detailed in note 9, and the tax assets and deferred tax are outlined in notes 15 and 21, respectively. Management has obtained a valuation from the external valuer Ralph Hagedorn GmbH & Co. KG to support the fair market value determined by management. The board has chosen to value the German properties at EUR 91.1 million in the annual report. Management assesses that the recorded value of the German investment properties is their fair market value as of December 31, 2024. The fair market value of the German investment properties amounts to a total of EUR 91.1 million (2023: EUR 91.0 million) and is determined property by property. The valuation corresponds to a gross capitalization factor between 12.50 and 25.00, averaging 19.8 (2023 average: 19.9). The method used for valuing the fair market value of the investment properties is based on the property's expected gross rental income and the so-called gross capitalization factor. The fair market value of the investment property is calculated as the product of the expected gross rental income and the gross capitalization factor. The capitalization factor depends indirectly on the expected return and the risk of return on investment in alternative asset classes as well as the covariation on the return and risk of with these asset classes. Economic factors such as interest rates, inflation and economic growth can affect the expected return and risk of alternative asset classes and thus the capitalization factor of the properties.

The loans total EUR 27.9 million were divided into a standing loan of EUR 15 million and a serial loan that amounted to EUR 12.9 million as of December 31, 2024. The serial loan is repaid with EUR 645,780 annually. The loans have been agreed with non-renegotiating clauses from the lenders' side until 2030 if the DSCR (annual net rent (Kaltmiete)0.75/annual payments under the loan) is higher than 1.30. A breach of this will trigger a cash sweep with a binding period of 12 months at a time. If the DSCR falls further to 1.125, the Bank is entitled to renegotiate the Agreement. In the event of a breach of the above, the Group and the Borrowers have a cure period of 6 months to bring the facilities back within the terms of the Agreement. As of December 31, 2024, the DSCR has been calculated to be 1.75. The loans bear interest at the 3-month Euribor + 1.75% margin. As of December 31, 2024, the 3- month Euribor was 2.5%, so the total interest rate, including the margin, was 4.25% (as of December 31, 2023, the interest rate, including the interest margin, was approximately 5.2% p.a.). A change of 1.0 percentage points in the general interest rate level would result in a change in the Group's annual interest expense before tax of EUR 279,000 which will affect both the Group’s result for the period and the total equity. 2024Change in rate of interest (in %)+1.0 Base -1.0Yearly financial expenses EUR 1,0001,477 1,198 919Change in Yearly financial expenses EUR 1,000279 0 -2792023Change in rate of interest (in %)+1.0 Base -1.0Yearly financial expenses EUR 1,0001,846 1,470 1,094Change in Yearly financial expenses EUR 1,000376 0 -376 The calculation of the change in fair market value is based on a change in the short -term interest rate.

Thus, all assets and liabilities are denominated in EUR. Therefore, the Group's equity, and thereby the Parent company's ability to distribute dividends, is exposed to changes in the exchange rate. Furthermore, the management assesses the currency risk associated with investments in EUR as minimal compared to DKK. Annual Report 2024 107 Note 25 – Cash management and other risks The Group's objective is to ensure the possibility of continued operations to optimize shareholders' returns and improve the capital structure to minimize financial costs. The Group's ability to accumulate sufficient liquidity depends on its operating results and the possibility of obtaining external financing. The Company's ability to pay dividends is limited according to the rules of the Companies Act, as the Company can legally pay dividends only if it has sufficient free liquidity according to its annual report and if the Company, in the board's opinion, has a prudent level of capital reserves relative to the Group's operations and obligations after the distribution. In addition to liquidity management, the Group assesses its capital reserves based on solvency which is crucial for obtaining external financing. In line with its strategy, the Group has a solid capital structure with relatively low leverage with an equity ratio of 64.6% (2023: 56.5%).

Besides, the Group has only agreed to contractual obligations customary for a real estate company. Note 27 – Pledges and security arrangements The Group's investment properties in Germany, with an accounting value of EUR 91.1 million (2023: EUR 91.0 million), are pledged as security for EUR 27.9 million in bank loans. There are no other security arrangements. Note 28 – Contingent liabilities The Parent Company is jointly and severally liable for the tax on the taxable income of the Danish group taxation members. It is also jointly and severally liable for Danish withholding taxes, such as dividend and interest taxes. Subsequent corrections to corporate taxes and withholding taxes may increase the Group's liability. Any subsequent corrections to corporate taxes and withholding taxes may result in the company's liability being larger. The Company must pay the company administrator for 12 months of administration after the property is disposed of. This obligation ceases when the management agreement expires in 2028. Annual Report 2024 109 Note 29 – Related Parties Alexander and Kristoffer Thygesen control the Group through Drot ApS and Marsk ApS which are the controlling shareholders in Kartago Property ApS and Kartago ApS, owning 41.78% and 11.99% of the share capital and votes, respectively. The accounts for German High Street Properties are included in the consolidated accounts of Kartago Property ApS. The Group's related parties also include the Parent company's board of directors, executive management, and their close family members. Related parties also include companies in which the individuals mentioned above have control or joint control. In addition to the shareholdings controlled by Alexander and Kristoffer Thygesen, the board of directors, executive management, and companies where this group of people has a controlling influence hold 220 shares. Transactions with companies controlled by the Thygesen family have only included administration fees, remuneration of the director in accordance with the management agreement, and a minor prepayment for administration fees which is usually invoiced at the end of the quarter for the upcoming quarter. Group Parent companyEUR 1,000 2024 2023 2024 2023Administration agreement 589 601 589 601 Remuneration of the board amounted to a total of T.EUR 160 for the year (2023 T.EUR 163). The executive management's remuneration is T.EUR 120 and is settled by German High Street Properties A/S. The executive management is closely related to the Kartago Group. Annual Report 2024 110 Note 30 – Fair value hierarchy for investment properties and financial instruments The table below shows classifications of investment properties and financial instruments measured at fair market value, divided according to the fair market value hierarchy: • Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets/liabilities. • Level 2: Based on inputs other than listed prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either direct (as prices) or indirect (derived from prices). • Level 3: Based on data that is not observable in the market. When calculating the fair value of the Group's liabilities in accordance with level 3 of the fair market value hierarchy, a correction is made for the Group's own credit rating, taking into account the legal status of the liabilities and the security in the assets measured at fair value. Consequently, no direct assumptions of discount factors, etc., are included when measuring liabilities to credit institutions in accordance with level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for bank loans. There have been no significant transfers between levels during the fiscal year.
