The carrying amount of investment property includes an amount related to assets held under finance leases and financings of €35 million and €42 million (January 3, 2016: €25 million and €43 million), respectively. Ahold Delhaize does not have legal title to these assets. Company-owned investment property with a carrying amount of €93 million (January 3, 2016: €79 million) has been pledged as security for liabilities, mainly for loans.
