The authorised capital comprises 120 million shares each with a nominal value of € 10. As at 31 december 2009, 76,363,025 shares were in issue (31 december 2008: 67,252,184). The number of shares in issue is increased due to stock dividend on 6 may 2009 (2,168,748 shares) and due to an issuance of shares on 9 june 2009 (6,942,093 shares). The shareholders are entitled to receive the dividends declared from time to time and are entitled to cast one vote per share at meetings of the company.

Share premium

The share premium consists of capital paid on shares in excess of the nominal value. For tax reasons a total of € 645.1 million (2008: € 508.4 million) is recognised as share premium and can in certain circumstances be distributed tax-free.

Treasury share reserve

The treasury shares reserve comprises the cost of the Corio shares held by the group. As at 30 june 2009, the group held no shares of the company (31 december 2008: 998,482). These were acquired in 2001 for € 26.20 per share and they were sold for € 32.50 per share on 9 june 2009. The gain is recognised in equity.

Revaluation reserve

The revaluation reserve concerns the revaluation of the property investments. The (unrealised) positive difference between the cumulative increase in the fair value of the property owned at the end of the year minus the deferred tax to which this gives rise has been included in the revaluation reserve. The revaluation reserve as at year-end 2009 has been determined at individual property level, taking account of deferred tax.

Associates reserve

This reserve comprises the retained earnings of associates.

Hedge reserve

The hedge reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of hedge instruments designated as cash flow hedges where the hedged transaction has not yet taken place.

Translation reserve

Of the result for 2009 amounting to -€ 131.9 million, -€ 5.3 million will be incorporated in the associates reserve and -€ 84.4 million will be incorporated in the revaluation reserve. The remainder of the result will be incorporated in the general reserve.
