Liabilities from guarantee and warranty contracts amount to €45 million (30/9/2017: €0 million), which are attributable to the discontinued operations. These concern a bank guarantee for claims from retailers in relation to business on the Real online marketplace.

The remaining liabilities from guarantee and warranty contracts are primarily rent guarantees with terms of up to 10 years if utilisation is not considered entirely unlikely.
