4.11 Equity

Accounting principles

Treasury shares M.R.M. treasury shares are deducted from consolidated equity at their cost of acquisition. All transactions involving treasury shares are recognised directly in consolidated equity. Expenses related to share capital increases According to IAS 32, expenses related to the issuance of equity instruments are recorded directly under equity. These are expenses directly attributable to the transaction, i.e. expenses that would not have been incurred had the transaction not taken place.

Equity management The Group’s policy is to maintain a solid capital base so as to retain the trust of investors, creditors and the markets, and to sustain future growth. The Board of directors keeps a close watch on the return on equity, defined as operating income divided by total equity. The Group’s debt to equity ratio represents net debt expressed as a percentage of the fair value of its properties excluding transfer taxes. As of 31 December 2021, net debt was €64,745 thousand, including a cash surplus of (€9,699 thousand), and the fair value of properties excluding transfer taxes of €161,985 thousand.
