DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION OF THE TRANSACTION

Gecina is planning to acquire Eurosic which holds assets primarily composed of offices located in Paris and the Paris region. This friendly transaction has the support of Eurosic's 6 major shareholders representing nearly 95% of the capital, via the signing of firm contracts for block sales (for 90% of their respective stakes) and a commitment to submit the balance of their stake to the public tender offer. Following acquisition of the blocks, Gecina will lodge a squeeze-out offer with an alternative in cash or in shares.

The proposed acquisition of Eurosic represents a major acceleration in Gecina's development by strengthening its positioning as a specialist in offices in Paris. At Gecina's request, the agreement includes the concurrent sale to Batipart of Eurosic's diversification portfolio (Eurosic Lagune, Nature Village et Hébergement and assets located in Spain), composed primarily of leisure and healthcare assets which are not strategic for Gecina.

PURPOSE OF THE PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The pro forma financial information is intended to provide the reader, whether investor or shareholder, with the impact which the transaction described above would have had on Gecina's consolidated income statement for the financial year ended December 31, 2016 and on its consolidated statement of financial position at December 31, 2016 if this transaction had occurred prior to the date when it actually occurred.

The pro forma financial information is presented only as an illustration and does not constitute an indication of the results which the consolidated company would have recorded if the aforesaid business combination had been completed on January 1, 2016. Nor is it an indication of the futures results of the consolidated entity.

The pro forma adjustments detailed below are based on the information available on the date hereof and on certain hypotheses and estimates which Gecina believes are reasonable.

REGULATORY BASIS BASIS

The pro forma financial information has been prepared in accordance with Annex I of European Prospectus Regulation no. 809-2004. In effect, Gecina's acquisition of Eurosic implies a change of more than 25% in the income and results of the Gecina Group. The information has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Annex II 'Pro Forma Financial Information Building Block' of European Regulation no. 809/2004.

The pro forma financial information applies the recommendations issued by ESMA (ESMA/2013/319 of March 20, 2013) and AMF Recommendation no. 2013-08 concerning pro forma financial information, amended on April 15, 2016.

CONSTRUCTION ASSUMPTIONS ASSUMPTIONS

The pro forma financial information presented below has been prepared in thousands of euros and includes the following items:

  • A balance sheet at December 31, 2016 (as if the acquisition had occurred on December 31, 2016);
  • Explanatory notes.

The preliminary analysis of Eurosic's accounting methods and presentation and valuation rules (including investment properties) compared with those of Gecina is based solely on public information. It revealed no significant differences which required aligning the accounting policies in the context of producing the pro

forma financial information. However, differences may be identified at the time Eurosic is consolidated in Gecina's financial statements on the basis of the results of a more detailed analysis. As a result, the pro forma information presented does not include a material homogenization restatement.

  • An increase in Gecina's capital of 1 billion euros is fully subscribed for the financing of the Eurosic acquisition, in addition to utilization of new borrowings, particularly under the Euro Medium Term Notes (EMTN) program;

  • Eurosic's acquisition of Foncière de Paris on September 22, 2016 is restated as if it had taken place on January 1, 2016;

  • (i) EUROSIC LAGUNE, holding of 61,1%;
  • (ii) EUROSIC INVESTMENT SPAIN SOCIMI, holding of 71,1%;
  • (iii) NATURE HEBERGEMENTS, a holding of 50%.

* With a €51 price per share and Eurosic OSRA, the cash offer will lead to a €2,9 billion cash-out (€2,1 billion for Eurosic shares and €0,8 billion for OSRA). Exchange offer will lead to additional equity for Gecina for €367 million (of which €99 million for OSRA paid in Gecina shares).

NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION PRO

GOODWILL

The business combination is recognized using the acquisition method stipulated in IFRS 3-Business Combination.

Goodwill (€62 million) was calculated using an acquisition price paid in cash and Gecina shares to be issued in an assumed allocation of 88%/12% respectively. This allocation is the result of a 90%/10% share for the 6 major shareholders, while an assumed allocation of 50%/50% was used for the float.

The net equity of Eurosic at December 31, 2016 was also adjusted for the following items:

  • Cancellation of the historical goodwill recognized at December 31, 2016 (€90 million);
  • Revaluation of the property assets on the estimated transaction date (€499 million of additional fair value compared with December 31, 2016, see note b) of Pro Forma Balance Sheet) and mark to market fair value of the fixed-rate debt based on estimates available at December 31, 2016 (€12 million in additional liabilities, see note b) of Pro Forma Balance Sheet). The positive net effect on EUROSIC's shareholders' equity is €487 million.

On the date of establishment of this pro forma financial data, and given the complexity of the transaction, a preliminary allocation of the goodwill was made exclusively to the property assets and to the fixed-rate debt. In accordance with IFRS 3, Gecina will have a period of one year from the acquisition date to finalize the allocation of the acquisition price to Eurosic's identifiable assets and liabilities.

The fair value transferred in the exchange concerns:

  • The Eurosic shares redeemed and the OSRAs converted, acquired at the unit price of €51, namely a total payment estimated at €2.903 million;
  • The fair value of the Gecina shares issued (€367 million) valued at the market price on the date of the transaction (€135 by agreement) and at an assumed exchange ratio of 20 Eurosic shares for 7 Gecina shares, namely an exchange ratio of 0.350x (2.7 million Gecina shares issued in payment for the Eurosic shares, including the converted OSRAs).

ACQUISITION COSTS

In the context of this transaction, the costs for the various legal, financial and accounting advisors were incurred and recorded, pursuant to IFRS 3, in the consolidated income statement in the item Effect of the business combination included in the operating income or loss. At this stage of the estimates, they are €12 million.

FINANCING AND RELATED COSTS

The financing by cash (or refinancing) of this acquisition (€2.9 billion) will cover the cash acquisition of the Eurosic shares (€2.1 billion) and a portion of the OSRAs (€0.8 billion) and will be executed as follows:

  • Subscription to a capital increase for a total amount of €1 billion;
  • Issuance of several bonds for a total of about €1.5 billion;
  • Drawdown of available lines of credit for the balance (€0.4 billion).

INTRA-GROUP TRANSACTIONS AND RELATIONS WITH SUBSIDIARIES

Pursuant to AMF Recommendation no. 2013-08, if there are relations between the companies party to the transaction prior to closure, it is recommended that these transactions, which have mechanically become "reciprocal transactions", be restated in the pro forma financial information. No significant reciprocal transaction was identified as part of this transaction.

CORPORATE TAXES

In accordance with AMF Recommendation no. 2013-08, the tax effects applied to the different adjustments made are the same as those used in the historical financial statements of the two companies (Gecina and Eurosic). Since Gecina and Eurosic have chosen the tax treatment for Sociétés d'Investissement Immobilier Cotées (SIIC - Listed Real Estate Investment Trusts), the transaction creates no significant tax liability.

_______________

Gecina draws the public's attention to the risk factors described in section 1.7 ("Risks") of the 2016 reference document. The occurrence of one or more of these risks may have a material adverse effect on Gecina's activities, reputation, financial position, results or outlook, and on Gecina's share price.

Disclaimers

This press release include indications on the objectives, perspectives and development strategies of Gecina and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Gecina") as well as forward-looking statements, in particular in relation to the Eurosic acquisition and the related financing operations described in this press release (the "Eurosic Acquisition"). Those indications may be identified by the use of the future or conditional tense or by forward-looking terminology, including the terms "considers" "anticipates", "thinks", "targets", "expects", "intends", "must", "aims", "estimates", "believes", "wishes", "may", or in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts and shall not be interpreted as guarantees that the facts and data stated will occur. Those forward-looking statements are based on data, assumptions and objectives that Gecina believes to be reasonable. They may evolve or change due to the uncertainties related to the economic, financial, competitive and regulatory environment. In addition, the occurrence of certain risks listed in the section 1.7 "Risks" of the 2016 reference document may have an impact on the activities, the prospects and the financial results of Gecina and its capacity to meet its objectives. The information mentioned in this press release include statements regarding Gecina's intentions, expectations and objectives in relation to, inter alia, the market, the strategy, the growth, the results, the financial situation and the cash position of Gecina. Forward-looking statements mentioned in this press release are provided on the date of this press release. Subject to all relevant laws or regulations, Gecina undertakes no obligation to publish any revisions to any forward-looking statements included in this press release in order to reflect any change in its objectives or in the events, conditions or circumstances after the date of this press release. Gecina operates in a rapidly-changing and competitive environment; it cannot anticipate all the risks, uncertainties or other factors that may affect its activity, their potential impact on it activity or to what extent the occurrence of a risk or a combination of risks may cause results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, being reminded that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.

The consolidated pro forma financial information (unaudited) for the financial year ended on 31 December 2016 presented in this press release have been prepared in accordance with IFRS standards. This information has been prepared in order to present the impacts that the Eurosic Acquisition would have on Gecina's income statements as if the Eurosic Acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2016 and on Gecina's balance sheet as if the Eurosic Acquisition had taken place on December 31, 2016.
