With Five Key Success Factors that Drive Productivity
Building upon the success of Starfield Hanam, Taubman is again partnering with Shinsegae Group – one of South Korea’s largest retailers – to create the first super-regional shopping center in the rapidly growing area of the southern Gyeonggi Province
Starfield AnseongAnseong - Gyeonggi Province, Greater Seoul, South Korea

Opening: Late 2020
Ownership: 49%
Size: 1,100,000 sqft.
Partner: Shinsegae Group
Projected Stabilized Return: 6.25% - 6.75%
Est. Project Cost: $570M - $600MMajor Tenants: Shinsegae Factory Store, E-Mart Trader’s, PK Market, ElectroMart, Eatopia, Sport’s Monster, Aquafield, Toy Kingdom and an upscale cinema
Growth – Taubman Asia
The project is located near four growing cities (Pyeongtaek, Anseong, Asan, Jincheon) in greater Seoul.
The site includes a well-developed highway infrastructure near the Gyeongbu Expressway (links Seoul to Busan) as well as the Pyeongtaek-Jecheon Expressway connecting to Eastern Korea, creating a regional draw to the center.
Favorable supply and demand dynamics create an opportunity for development◼ South Korea has much less retail
real estate per capita than the United States
◼ The primary trade area of the site does not contain a modern shopping center, with current retail facilities almost exclusively limited hypermarkets and two older department stores
◼ Further, significant development plans in the surrounding area are expected to generate immense population and employment growth
◼ The combined population of Anseong and Pyeongtaek was 653,000 in 2016 and is expected to reach 867,000 in 2020
◼ By 2030, this population is expected to grow to 1 million people
◼ Samsung opened the world’s largest semi-conductor plant ~6 miles from the site, eventually creating about 110,000 jobs
◼ The relocation of a U.S. Army base is planned nearby, bringing an estimated population increase of 80,000 to 100,000 people

Taubman’s Balance Sheet Philosophy
Use construction financing where available and place nonrecourse permanent financing on new assets
upon stabilization
Closely manage liquidity to ensure significant availability on our line of credit for use if
opportunities arise
Recycle capital through non-core asset sales and excess
refinancing proceeds
Carefully manage debt maturities
Minimize exposure to interest rate fluctuations
Opportunistically access public and private capital markets when pricing is
advantageous

Significant Shareholder Value
Our Strategic Points of Difference
Recycling Capital for Growth
Our strategy has been to recycle capital for growth, minimizing our need to raise corporate equity
This method of recycling capital has resulted in significant shareholder returns
As of March 31, 2019, we had grown our total market capitalization from $2.2 billion at our IPO to $9.9 billion, while owning relatively the same number of assets and issuing only $50 million of common equity on a net basis
Our equity market cap of $1.3 billion at IPO in 1992 has grown to $4.5 billion as of March 31, 2019, representing an increase of 3.3x
The Taubman Asia/Blackstone transaction represents a recent example of growth, while reducing leverage, without issuing equity

Reconciliation of Net Income to Net Operating Income(1)
43
(1) The Company uses Net Operating Income (NOI) as an alternative measure to evaluate the operating performance of centers, both on individual and stabilized portfolio bases. The Company defines NOI as property-level operating revenues (includes rental income excluding straightline adjustments of minimum rent) less maintenance, taxes, utilities, promotion, ground rent (including straightline adjustments), and other property operating expenses. Since NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, pre-development charges, interest income and expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, restructuring charges, and gains from land and property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared period over period, reflects the revenues and expenses most directly associated with owning and operating rental properties, as well as the impact on their operations from trends in tenant sales, occupancy and rental rates, and operating costs.
For ease of use, references in this document to “Taubman Centers,” “company,” “Taubman” or an operating platform mean Taubman Centers, Inc. and/or one or more of a number of separate, affiliated entities. Business is actually conducted by an affiliated entity rather than Taubman Centers, Inc. itself or the named operating platform.
