WARNING The Offering and the distribution of this Prospectus are subject to certain restrictions, set forth in the chapter “Disclaimers and notices”. Investing in the Shares involves substantial risks. Investors should carefully read the risks set forth in the chapter “Risk Factors”. The net results of the Group for the period from 2004 until 30 June 2007 originate principally from valuation gains related to its investment. As a consequence, a downturn of the property market or a negative change in one of the assumptions used or factors considered in making a property’s valuation (interest rates, local economic situation, market sentiment, market yield expectation, inflation) could decrease the value of the property and have a material adverse effect on the operating results of the Group. These factors are not under the Group’s control. The Group may not be able to offset such valuation losses through expected future rental income, which may adversely affect the operating results.
