These lower vacancy rates are in-line with the Company's targets. Mikhail Merkulov, CEO of Arricano, said: "Reducing the level of vacancy rates across the Company's portfolio is a primary focus for the management team in 2016. We are continuing to make progress; in 2015 we focused on interaction with tenants which we continue to do, as well as creating a quality tenant mix and rotating this where necessary, all of which will help to improve the quality of the entire portfolio. This should mean that both tenants and visitors feel comfortable in our shopping malls, and the management team are confident that this quality of service will continue."

I am confident that the innovative approach to our business, along with high-quality management teams with a desire to make our shopping malls leaders in each city, will continue to attract new visitors and high-grade tenants."
