announced (and partly yet delivered) in 2013

Q1 2013
Operational

– Roll out HNK concept

Changed dividend policy Pay out ratio is geared at funding regular capital requirements

Financial prudency to secure future investments – Aligning dividend policy with exceptional market circumstances by linking dividend policy
to LtV performance
Possibility to offer stock dividend in case the circumstances are
supportive
Meeting REIT criteria for profit distribution

Effective rent levels are adjusted for incentives remains in line with benchmark
Dutch market
NSI delivered in 2012 on target to stay above €120/sqm effective rent
Alternative strategies in place to increase income per sqm
*) The rent level of new leases in Q1 2013 was impacted by relatively large leases in outer regions
Property values NSI wrote down €270 million since 2008 in Dutch office portfolio, €377 including
pro forma VNOI revaluations over that period (approx. 38%)
Revaluations primarily driven by yield shifts
Lack of reference due to lackluster market; increased influence of assumptions
Development activity and pipeline all time low
Valuation level below replacement costs

of disposals and €2.0 million exceptionals in Q4

operating costs (11.5%) and administrative costs
(4%) reflect efficient ratios
Financing costs decreased in Q1 2013 to €14.0
million (Q4 2012: €14.5 million). Higher margins
and financing costs were offset by lower Euribor
rates and hedging costs and a reduction in
outstanding loans (€43 million).

related to Dutch offices portfolio (€33.3 million)
LtV slightly decreased from 58.2% at year end
2012 to 58.0%

refinanced in 2012
– Average maturity 2.1 years
Managing interest costs
– Rising margins vs low swap/euribor rates
