«(Comparative figures Q1 2009 results in brackets; unless stated otherwise)
Quote Gerard Groener (CEO): 'It has been an exciting beginning of the year for Corio. Next to the Multi deal and accompanying successful Accelerated Book Building we also announced two transactions of operational shopping centres in Italy. Looking at the small but nevertheless positive result on valuations in the first quarter of 2010 for Corio we are again working on the future, growing the portfolio and extending our pipeline in a profitable way, without forgetting the past. Corio is working hard on the integration and kick-start of the new business unit in Germany. We are looking forward to work together with our new colleagues and joint venture partners on a successful future'.
