EPRA Net Initial Yield (NIY) basis of calculation 
 
EPRA NIY is calculated as the annualised net rent (on a cash flow basis), divided by the gross value of the completed
property portfolio. The valuation of our completed property portfolio is determined by our external valuers as at 31 March
2016, plus an allowance for estimated purchaser's costs. Estimated purchaser's costs are determined by the relevant stamp
duty liability, plus an estimate by our valuers of agent and legal fees on notional acquisition. The net rent deduction
allowed for property outgoings is based on our valuers' assumptions on future recurring non-recoverable revenue
expenditure. 
 
In calculating the EPRA 'topped-up' NIY, the annualised net rent is increased by the total contracted rent from expiry of
rent-free periods and future contracted rental uplifts where defined as not in lieu of growth. Overall 'topped-up' NIY is
calculated by adding any other contracted future uplift to the 'topped-up' net annualised rent. 
 
The net reversionary yield is calculated by dividing the total estimated rental value (ERV) for the completed property
portfolio, as determined by our external valuers, by the gross completed property portfolio valuation. 
 
The EPRA vacancy rate is calculated as the ERV of the unrented, lettable space as a proportion of the total rental value of
the completed property portfolio.
