PRESS RELEASE

Jean-Pierre Hanin, CEO of Cofinimmo: "The 2021 financial year was marked by the dynamism of our investments, with almost 1 billion EUR invested in healthcare real estate in Europe.

With Ireland, Italy and the United Kingdom, we have added three countries to our geographical footprint. Through its many development projects, representing a financial envelope of nearly 700 million EUR to be achieved by 2024, Cofinimmo actively participates in the expansion and renewal of the healthcare property portfolio in Europe. In this context, Cofinimmo's results proved to be solid, despite the health situation.

In order to finance our growth while maintaining adequate balances of the balance sheet, we strengthened our equity throughout the year by 565 million EUR, and issued a second 500 million EUR sustainable bond in January 2022, demonstrating that sustainable investment and sustainable financing are a priority for the group. This was most recently highlighted by the Sustainable Growth Award 2021 granted by Euronext Brussels to the company with the strongest sustainable growth over the last decade."

1. Summary of activity since 01.01.2021

For almost 40 years, Cofinimmo has been developing, managing and investing in rental real estate. Attentive to societal changes, Cofinimmo's permanent objective is to offer high-quality care, living and working spaces ('Caring, Living and Working - Together in Real Estate'). Capitalising on its expertise, Cofinimmo consolidates its leadership in European healthcare real estate.

The pandemic that the world has been experiencing for two years now has highlighted the importance of the healthcare sector for each and every one of us. Through its investments, Cofinimmo is actively participating in the operation, maintenance, expansion and renewal of the healthcare property portfolio in nine countries.

In 2021, Cofinimmo made nearly 1 billion EUR investments in various healthcare real estate sub-segments in Europe, including, for the first time, in Ireland, Italy and the United Kingdom. Thanks to these operations, healthcare real estate assets (3.8 billion EUR) account for two thirds of the group's consolidated portfolio, which reaches 5.7 billion EUR. Ongoing development projects represent a financial envelope of nearly 700 million EUR to be achieved by 2024.

In the office segment, Cofinimmo is also executing its strategy which consists in rebalancing its office portfolio between the various sub-segments to the benefit of high-quality buildings located in the Central Business District of Brussels (CBD). The group carried out the disposal of office buildings located in the periphery of Antwerp and the decentralised area of Brussels for a total amount of 60 million EUR. End October, the group announced the completion of the contribution of its office portfolio into a subsidiary, giving the option to open the capital of this subsidiary to future investors.

Cofinimmo constantly evaluates its assets portfolio based on the key points of its strategy and the available market opportunities. In this context, the group carried out the disposal of part of its Cofinimur I property of distribution networks portfolio in France for more than 40 million EUR.

As part of the ESG policy adopted by the group for almost 15 years now, and which remains a priority, the group's extensive efforts have been rewarded again in 2021. Cofinimmo further improved a series of external ESG ratings (MSCI, GRESB, CDP, …), and received several new BREEAM certifications for office buildings, but also in healthcare real estate. The nursing and care home in Oleiros is, for instance, the first site in this category to receive a BREEAM Excellent certification in Spain. The energy intensity of the portfolio reaches 165 kWh/m², down by 13% and well on track to achieve the 30% reduction aimed by 2030 (compared to the 2017 level). Moreover, Cofinimmo has very recently distinguished itself by obtaining the Sustainable Growth Award 2021 from Euronext Brussels, rewarding the company with the strongest sustainable growth over the last decade. Needless to say that Cofinimmo is closely following the evolution of the recent situation around some healthcare operators (see section 8.3 below).

In terms of financing, several operations carried out in the financial year enabled to further improve the balance sheet structure. Cofinimmo carried out four capital increases (contribution in kind, in cash via accelerated bookbuilding, optional dividend and conversion of convertible bonds into shares) totalling nearly 565 million EUR, and also issued a 2nd sustainable bond for 500 million EUR in January 2022 (2.5 times oversubscribed), demonstrating that sustainable investment and sustainable financing are a priority for the group. As at 31.12.2021, Cofinimmo had 866 million EUR of headroom of its credit lines, after deduction of the backup of the commercial paper programme.

The group's momentum in terms of investments and financing (average cost of debt down at 1.1%), coupled with effective management of the existing portfolio (occupancy rate of 98.1%, gross rental revenues up 0.9% on a like-for-like basis, operating margin at 82.1%), enabled the company to realise a net result from core

PRESS RELEASE

activities – group share of 212 million EUR as at 31.12.2021, in line with the outlook1 (compared to the 181 million EUR that were made as at 31.12.2020, i.e. a 17% increase), mainly due to the investments made. The net result from core activities per share – group share amounts to 7.15 EUR (in line with the outlook, compared to 6.85 EUR as at 31.12.2020, i.e. a 4% increase), taking into account the issue of shares in 2020 and 2021. The average number of shares entitled to share in the result of the period thus increased from 26,478,781 to 29,655,292 between these two dates.

The net result – group share amounted to 260 million EUR (i.e. 8.78 EUR per share) as at 31.12.2021, compared to 119 million EUR (i.e. 4.50 EUR per share) as at 31.12.2020. This variation is mainly due to the increase in the net result from core activities – group share and to the changes in the fair value of investment properties and hedging instruments between 31.12.2020 and 31.12.2021, these two elements being noncash items.

With a debt-to-assets ratio of 44.2% as at 31.12.2021, Cofinimmo's consolidated balance sheet (whose BBB/A-2 rating was confirmed in March 2021) shows a strong solvency (information on main risks and uncertainties are stated in section 14).

These results allow to confirm that the board of directors will propose, during the ordinary general meeting of 11.05.2022, the allocation of a gross dividend of 6.00 EUR per share for the 2021 financial year, payable in May 2022.

Considering in particular the disposals carried out in 2021 and budgeted in 2022, and barring the occurrence of any unexpected events, the budgeted net result from core activities – group share for 2022 is 219 million EUR (compared to 212 million EUR as at 31.12.2020), i.e. 6.90 EUR per share, and the gross dividend payable in 2023 is 6.20 EUR per share (up compared to the 2021 dividend payable in 2022). This outlook is based on a gross investment budget of approximately 600 million EUR for 2022 (460 million EUR net, see section 11.1) and takes into account the prorata temporis dilutive effects of the 2021 capital increases (see section 11.3).

4.1. Healthcare real estate in Belgium

  • Investments in 2021: 155 million EUR
  • Divestments in 2021: 10 million EUR
  • Healthcare real estate portfolio in Belgium at 31.12.2021: 1,601 million EUR (88 sites in operation)

In Belgium, Cofinimmo holds investments properties in healthcare real estate for a fair value of 1.6 billion EUR, and 21 million EUR in participations in associates. In the course of 2021, Cofinimmo invested 154 million EUR in investments properties and 1 million EUR in participations in associates, and carried out a disposal for 10 million EUR.

Main accomplishments:

- Construction of the extension of a healthcare complex in Leuven

On 14.01.2021, Cofinimmo signed an agreement relating to the acquisition of 100% of the shares of the limited liability company Home Vogelzang OG. This company owns the rights in rem in a plot of land located in Leuven, Flemish Brabant, for the next 30 years. An extension to an existing complex is currently under construction on this plot of land. The conventional value of the complex for the calculation of the share price amounts to approximately 15 million EUR.

The extension will be adjacent to an existing nursing and care home and assisted-living units and will be carried out in the form of a turnkey project. For this building, the aim is an energy consumption 30% lower than the benchmark. The four-storey building will offer approximately 90 beds over a surface area of almost 6,500 m². Provisional acceptance of the works is expected by the end of March 2022.

The project will be leased through a long leasehold to VZW Home Vogelzang, which already operates the existing nursing and care home and assisted-living units, and which holds the

permit to operate this extension. The leasehold is of the triple net1 type and has a term of 27 years, counting from the provisional acceptance of the extension. The annual fee, which is in line with the market, will be due from the delivery of the works and will be indexed annually according to the Belgian consumer price index. At the expiration of the rights in rem, the building will automatically accrue to VZW Home Vogelzang. This transaction will therefore be recorded in Cofinimmo's accounts as a finance lease.

- Acquisition of a plot of land for the construction of a nursing and care home in Genappe

On 12.02.2021, Cofinimmo acquired 100% of the shares of a company owning a plot of land in Genappe (Walloon Brabant). A new nursing and care home is currently under construction on this plot of land. The works are carried out within the framework of a turnkey project. The investment budget (including the plot of land and the works) amounts to approximately 19 million EUR.

1 Insurances, taxes and maintenance are born by the tenant.

REGULATED INFORMATION Brussels, embargo until 24.02.2022, 5:40 PM CET

The future nursing and care home will be part of a residential care campus where assisted-living units are also planned. Located near the centre of the city of Genappe, it will replace an older nursing and care home in Chastre. Various bus stops within a 100-m radius will ensure the accessibility to the site. The construction of this new nursing and care home meets the growing demand in the region for additional and modern residential care capacity.

The new nursing and care home will offer approximately 112 beds, spread over a surface area of more than 6,000 m². The building meets all the current energy standards and sustainability requirements. Modern and sustainable materials as well as the latest techniques (LED-lighting, reuse of rainwater, ventilation, etc.) will be used. The building's carbon footprint will be significantly lower than that of the older nursing and care home.

After the delivery of the works, expected in Q3 2023, Korian Belgium will operate the new nursing and care home. In this context, a triple net1 lease has been concluded for a fix term of 28 years. The rent will be indexed according to the Belgian health-index. The gross rental yield will amount to more than 4.5%.

- Acquisition of five healthcare sites through contribution in kind

On 08.04.2021, Cofinimmo acquired five healthcare sites in Belgium through a contribution in kind. The conventional value of the assets amounts to 103 million EUR (rounded amount). To this end, 937,432 new shares were issued (see section 7.1.1.2. below) within the framework of the auhorised capital, and have been transferred to the contributors.

PRESS RELEASE

Combined, the five sites offer a total surface area of 25,400 m² and a capacity of 484 beds. They are spread across the Brussels Capital Region and the Liège Metropolitan area, which respectively represent the largest and third-largest urban agglomerations in Belgium.

The portfolio consists of very recent buildings. Clos Régina was built in 2010 and the other 4 sites have been developed or renovated between 2018 and 2020. The sites are easily accessible by public transport. In addition, they are located close to town and municipality centres and their specific functions in terms of retail, healthcare and culture. All assets have a garden or are within walking distance of a park.

For all 5 assets, triple net1 agreements with a term of 27 years were concluded with Care-Ion group. The rents will be indexed based on the Belgian consumer price index.

On 07.06.2021, Cofinimmo acquired, through a subsidiary, a plot of land in the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. A nursing and care home is under construction on this plot of land. The investment budget for both the plot of land and the works amounts to approximately 14 million EUR. The site is pre-let to CLECE, one of the country's largest operators.

The new nursing and care home will be built in Palma de Mallorca. This city of over 400,000 inhabitants is the main city on the island of Mallorca and the capital of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands.

The building will have a total surface area of over 7,000 m² and will offer 157 beds. It will be located near several parks, and will be easily accessible thanks to bus lines. The building will have an A-level energy label and every effort is being made to achieve a BREEAM Excellent certificate (estimated energy intensity of 75 kWh/m², low water consumption, etc.). Its architecture has been quality controlled in order to assess the environmental respect of the building according to local tradition and heritage values of the Balearic architecture.

Works started in January, the delivery of the nursing and care home is scheduled for the second quarter of 2023.

A double-net1 lease with a term of 25 years has been signed with the operator CLECE. The rent will be indexed according to the Spanish consumer price index. The gross rental yield is in line with current market conditions.

- Acquisition of a plot of land for the construction of a nursing and care home in Alicante (Valencia)

On 07.09.2021, Cofinimmo acquired, through a subsidiary, a plot of land in the autonomous community of Valencia. A nursing and care home is under construction on this plot of land. The investment budget for both the plot of land and the works amounts to approximately 13 million EUR. The site is pre-let to Solimar, part of Vivalto Group.

The new nursing and care home will be built in Alicante. This city of over 300,000 inhabitants is located in the south-east of Spain and is the second largest city of the autonomous community of Valencia.

The building will have a total surface area of approximately 7,300 m² and will offer 150 beds. It will be located in an urban area not so far from the city centre, and will be easily accessible thanks to several bus lines, one of which leads directly to a large park nearby.

With this project, Cofinimmo aims for an A-level energy performance and a BREEAM Excellent certification. To this end, high-quality materials, presenting a long lifecycle, have been used for the construction of the premises. In addition, remotely readable meters for water and energy as well as a water leak detection system have been foreseen to prevent energy and water wastage. Particular attention will also be paid to the analysis and exhaustive removal of any construction leftovers and waste to avoid any potential pollution of the environment.

As a result, the new nursing and care home will not only be integrated in its current environment, it will also improve it thanks to its sustainable approach and the added value of the healthcare services it will provide to the local population.

The amounts corresponding to the construction works will be paid depending on the percentage of completion of the works.

Works started in the beginning of 2022, with delivery of the nursing and care home being scheduled for the first quarter of 2024.

A triple-net2 lease with a term of 25 years has been signed with the operator Solimar. The rent will be indexed according to the Spanish consumer price index. The gross rental yield is in line with current market conditions.

Main accomplishments:

- Construction of a nursing and care home in Vantaa

On 21.01.2021, Cofinimmo has continued its expansion in the Finnish healthcare real estate sector with the acquisition of a nursing and care home under construction in Vantaa, a city of 230,000 inhabitants located in the Helsinki metropolitan area, the capital of Finland. Vantaa is the fourth largest city in Finland. The total investment budget for the plot of land and the works amounts to approximately 12 million EUR.

As a reminder, Finland offers interesting perspectives for Cofinimmo, which has the ambition to contribute to the response to the healthcare need of the Finnish population. The country has approximately 5.5 million inhabitants, of whom 22% are 65 or older and approximately 10% are 75 or older. The proportion of inhabitants aged 65 and above is expected to reach over 26% by 2030. This demographic situation will increase the need for high-quality healthcare services. Currently, care facilities in Finland are offering approximately 65,000 beds. They are managed by operators from the public sector, charity associations and the private sector, with the latter taking up about 50% of the beds. The nursing and care home segment therefore offers an interesting long-term growth potential, which will be driven by the ageing of the population, for the real estate portfolio as well as because of the privatisation of healthcare real estate.

The nursing and care home in Vantaa will offer 68 beds spread over a surface area of 2,600 m². Construction works started in Q3 2020 and the delivery of the complex took place at the end of Q4 2021. The rent started on 01.02.2022. The building will have a B-level energy performance. Energy consumption will be limited thanks to a geothermal heating system. The site will employ approximately 50 people.

PRESS RELEASE

The asset is already pre-let to Esperi Care Oy, a major care provider in Finland. The double net1 lease will have a 15-year fixed term and the rent will be indexed annually according to the Finnish consumer price index. The gross rental yield will be in line with the current market conditions.

- Development of two healthcare sites and exclusive agreement to potentially acquire two additional sites to be developed

Cofinimmo signed an agreement to acquire, through a subsidiary and under certain conditions, the companies that will develop two nursing and care homes in Finland.

Ireland has approximately 5 million inhabitants. With approximately 30,000 beds, the Irish nursing home sector is less well equipped than most other European countries. According to Eurostat, the proportion of people aged 65 or more is expected to grow at a substantially higher pace than other European countries by 2040. As a result, demand for high-quality elderly care facilities is strong in Ireland.

The current supply of new nursing homes and care facilities throughout the country does not meet the increasing demand. The bed capacity should grow by roughly one third of the current capacity to keep up with demand in the short term. Additionally, a material part of the current stock will have to be renovated to meet modern comfort and safety norms.

For each of the seven sites, which are already let to DomusVi, a triple net1 lease has been concluded for a fix term of 15 years. The rents will be indexed annually according to the Irish consumer price index and the gross rental yield will be in line with current market conditions.

All the sites are operational and have a good energy performance (label B or C). Together, they offer a total surface area of approximately 39,500 m² and 491 beds.

The conventional value of the portfolio amounts to approximately 190 million EUR, with a gross rental yield of above 5%.

On 15.03.2021, Cofinimmo announced that it entered in exclusive negotiations with Lagune International S.A.S., a subsidiary of Batipart, in order to potentially invest in this portfolio. The press release dated 06.05.2021 signified the successful conclusion of aforementioned negotiations.

Italy enjoys the second highest life expectancy at birth in the EU after Spain (83 years, which is 2 years above the EU average). More than 23% of Italy's 60 million inhabitants are aged 65 and older. This percentage is forecast to increase to over 27% by 2030.

Italy has one of the lowest nursing home bed capacity in Europe. To reach a capacity comparable to that of most other West European countries, Italy would need to double its current volume. This would represent approximately 400,000 additional nursing home beds. The private sector represents 20% of Italian beds, and is expected to grow significantly over the coming years.

The Italian nursing home sector is a highly regulated market. Although the system varies across regions, Lombardy and Veneto require an accreditation for operators to provide subsidised care. Federal and Regional authorities use accreditations to organise the distribution of bed capacity according to regional needs.

The portfolio consists of 6 nursing and care homes of good quality, all situated in Northern Italy (5 in Lombardy, one in Veneto). Together, they represent 1,127 beds and a total surface area of approximately 65,000 m2 . One site includes a dialysis unit of 16 beds. The sites are fully leased to 4 operators (KOS, Korian, Codess Sociale, NephroCare).

Lombardy has a population of 10 million people, which is approximately one-sixth of Italy's population. More than a fifth of Italy's GDP is produced in the region, making it the most populous, richest and most productive region in the country. It is also one of the top regions in Europe for the same criteria. Veneto is the eighth largest region in Italy. GDP per capita is 14% above the Italian and 9% above the European average.

4.9. Healthcare real estate in the United Kingdom

- Investments in 2021: 67 million EUR

  • Healthcare real estate portfolio in the United Kingdom at 31.12.2021: 69 million EUR (3 sites in operation)

Cofinimmo entered the United Kingdom in July 2021, where it already holds a healthcare real estate portfolio with a fair value of 69 million EUR.

Main accomplishments:

- Acquisition of three nursing and care homes in the east and south-east of England

On 26.07.2021, Cofinimmo acquired, through subsidiaries, three recent nursing and care homes in the United Kingdom for approximately 57 million GBP. The nursing and care homes are situated in East and South-East England and count approximately 200 beds in total.

The United Kingdom has one of the largest care home landscapes in Europe, but the sector remains highly fragmented3 . In total, 78% of care home beds are in properties not originally built with care use in mind or are more than 20 years old. Purpose-built homes that are less than 20 years old account for just 22% of all care home supply.

Population over 85 is set to increase by 27.5% to 2030, with an estimated 460,000 more people of this age in the decade. This is seven times the growth rate of the overall UK population and 16 times faster than the working age population.

PRESS RELEASE

Based on current rates of occupation, the rise in dementia, and the high levels of co-morbidity amongst older people, the UK would require a further 10,000 additional care home beds per annum to 2030 to keep up with demand. Not only is there a need for a higher quantity of care home beds, but quality issues of the current stock need to be addressed urgently.

The need for investment in the British nursing and care home sector is high. Cofinimmo's entry in Britain underscores its active participation in the expansion and renewal of the property portfolio dedicated to healthcare in Europe.

The portfolio consists of 3 very recent nursing and care homes of prime quality, in the East and South-East of England, all situated in a range of max. 100 km north of London. Together, they represent 196 beds and a total surface area of approximately 9,500 m². The sites are fully leased to Country Court Care Group Limited.

Ferrars Hall was purpose built in June 2016 to a high standard and comprises 66 bedrooms. It is arranged over three floors, offering residential and specialist dementia care. Located in the heart of the town of Huntingdon, near Cambridge, it is wellintegrated in the local community.

Lakeview Lodge is a 66 bedroom purpose built care home constructed in March 2017 to a very high standard. Arranged over three floors, the home provides personalised, family-led care. Lakeview Lodge lies to the south of the city of Milton Keynes in a residential neighbourhood with schools, community facilities and shops. It overlooks a lake.

Oakview Lodge was purpose built in January 2018 to a high standard. It comprises a 64 bedroom nursing home integrated in a residential area. Arranged over three floors, the home provides nursing, residential and dementia care. It is located in Welwyn Garden City, approx. 35 km from central London.

All three buildings have a relatively low energy intensity. Two buildings are equipped with solar thermal systems, a third with a heat pump.

They are well accessible with public transport with local bus routes and stations in the area. Every building is situated in a short distance of green spaces, parks, forests or natural reserves.

7. Management of financial resources

Cofinimmo's financial strategy is characterised by the diversification of its financing sources, regular access to the capital markets, a debt-to-assets ratio close to 45% and the optimisation of the maturity and cost of its financing. Cofinimmo also pays particular attention to the coherence between its financial strategy and its ESG objectives (see chapter Strategy of the 2021 universal registration document to be published on 08.04.2022). After issuing sustainable bonds and contracting sustainable loans, 2021 was marked by the transformation of the commercial paper programme into a sustainable programme for 1.25 billion EUR, but also by the first Sustainability-linked loan, whose conditions are linked to the achievement of the 30³ target, which is detailed in the chapter Environment of the 2021 universal registration document. Finally, the 2022 year started with the issue of a second public sustainable bond for a total of 500 million EUR.

The group's debt and committed credit lines are not subject to any early repayment clauses or changes in margin related to its financial rating. They are generally subject to conditions related to:

  • compliance with RRECs legislation;
  • compliance with debt-to-assets ratio levels and hedging of financial expenses by the cash flow;
  • the fair value of the real estate portfolio.

The ratios were met at 31.12.2021 and throughout 2021. In addition, no payment defaults on the loan contracts, nor violations of the terms and conditions of these same contracts are expected in the coming 12 months.

7.1. Financing transactions in 2021

In 2021, Cofinimmo increased its financial resources and reinforced its balance sheet structure. Four capital increases were carried out during this financial year. The financing operations over the financial year also enabled the group to improve the maturity timetable of its financial debts, to increase the amount of available financing, to maintain an average cost of debt at particularly low levels and to increase their average residual maturity. The various operations carried out are stated hereunder.

REGULATED INFORMATION Brussels, embargo until 24.02.2022, 5:40 PM CET

7.1.1. Capital increases since 01.01.2021

During the 2021 financial year, Cofinimmo proceeded to four capital increases (contribution in kind, in cash via accelerated bookbuilding, optional dividend and conversion of convertible bonds into shares) totalling approximately 565 million EUR.

7.1.1.1. Capital increase in cash via accelerated bookbuilding

On 03.03.2021, Cofinimmo SA/NV launched a capital increase in cash via accelerated bookbuilding (the 'ABB') with international institutional investors, within the authorised capital, with cancellation of the preferential subscription right of existing shareholders and without granting an irreducible allocation right to existing shareholders (the 'capital increase').

The company successfully completed the ABB. In total, 1,487,603 new shares, which corresponds to approximately 5.5% of the outstanding capital prior to the capital increase, were placed with institutional investors at an issue price of 121.00 EUR per share. The issue price represents a discount of 4.3% compared with the last trading price on 03.03.2021 of 126.40 EUR per share. The gross amount of the capital increase amounts to approximately 180 million EUR.

The issue, delivery and admission to trading on the Euronext Brussels regulated market of the new took place on 08.03.2021.

7.1.1.2. Capital increase through contribution in kind

On 08.04.2021, Cofinimmo acquired 5 healthcare sites in Belgium through a contribution in kind (see section 4.1 of this document). The conventional value of the assets amounted to 103 million EUR (rounded amount). To this end, 937,432 new shares were issued within the framework of the auhorised capital, and have been transferred to the contributors.

The contributors consist of companies controlled by the Care-Ion group, which is a long-term shareholder of Cofinimmo, already holding more than 3% of the company's capital since 2019.

Thanks to this operation, Cofinimmo reinforced its shareholder's equity with 103,295,632.08 EUR.

7.1.1.3. Optional dividend

The ordinary general meeting of 12.05.2021 had decided to distribute for the 2020 financial year a gross dividend of 5.80 EUR per share1 .

The board of directors decided to offer shareholders the choice between receiving the dividend payment for the year 2020 in new shares or in cash, or to opt for a combination of both means of payment. The subscription price of one new share was set at 117.74 EUR. The new shares are entitled to Cofinimmo's results as from 01.01.2021 (first dividend payable in 2021).

Shareholders have been invited to communicate their choice between the different means of payment between 19.05.2021 and 02.06.2021. A total of 54% of the 2020 dividend coupons were contributed to the capital against new shares. This resulted in the issue of 550,658 new shares for a total amount of 64,834,472.92 EUR. The subscription price of 117.74 EUR per new share was 8.2% below the volumeweighted average stock market price of the share during the subscription period (128.29 EUR).

1 After deduction of a 30% withholding tax, this corresponds to a net dividend of 4.06 EUR per share.

REGULATED INFORMATION Brussels, embargo until 24.02.2022, 5:40 PM CET

The remaining dividend pay-out was settled in cash for a net total amount of 54.8 million EUR1 . The payment in cash and/or the delivery of securities were made as from 04.06.2021. The effective day of listing of the new shares is 08.06.2021.

7.1.2. Maturity of convertible bonds as at 15.09.2021

The convertible bonds matured on 15.09.2021. At the end of the conversion period of the convertible bonds, Cofinimmo received new conversion requests from holders of convertible bonds with respect to 1,483,774 convertible bonds out of 1,502,087 outstanding convertible bonds (i.e. 99%), resulting in 1,657,750 newly issued shares in Cofinimmo (i.e. 5.5% of the previously outstanding shares) to be delivered to the relevant holders of convertible bonds. These newly issued shares in Cofinimmo were issued on 30.09.2021 and their book value amounted to approximately 217 million EUR.

As a result of this operation, Cofinimmo's capital was represented by 31,695,481 shares.

7.1.3. Other financing operations since 01.01.2021

7.1.3.1. Modification and extension of the commercial paper programme

In order to further align its financing activities with its ESG policy, Cofinimmo's commercial paper programme has been transformed into a sustainable commercial paper programme. Some eligible assets (mainly social assets) have been selected to ensure that the outstanding amount of the programme is always covered by sufficient investments in eligible assets (in line with Cofinimmo's sustainable finance framework).

In addition, in order to meet the significant demand for commercial paper, Cofinimmo has decided to increase the maximum amount of the programme from 950 million EUR to 1,250 million EUR. The increase in the programme, effective as from 07.12.2021, will allow for both short-term and long-term issues.

The issues of long-term commercial paper are based on 'reverse inquiries' sent by interested investors to the banks managing the commercial paper programme. Belfius Bank, ING Bank, ABN AMRO and Barclays Bank Ireland coordinate the issuance of long-term commercial paper for Cofinimmo, while Belfius Bank, BNP Paribas Fortis, BRED Banque Populaire, ING Bank, KBC Bank, ABN AMRO, Barclays Bank Ireland and Société Générale facilitate the issuance of short-term commercial paper.

7.1.3.2. Issue of a new sustainable bond early 2022

On 17.01.2022, Cofinimmo issued a second public benchmark sustainable bond for an aggregate nominal amount of 500 million EUR, paying a coupon of 1% per year and having a maturity date on 24.01.2028. The proceeds from this issuance will be entirely used to (re)finance assets in accordance with Cofinimmo's sustainable finance framework of May 2020. The selected assets, together with the other sustainable financing actions taken by the group, will be highlighted in the 2021 universal registration document. The new issue will be listed on Euronext Growth Brussels. The settlement and admission to trading of the notes took place on 24.01.2022.

7.2.1. Non-current financial debts

As at 31.12.2021, non-current financial debt was 1,468 million EUR. These are detailed hereunder.

7.2.1.1. Bond market

  • 70 million EUR accounting for one straight bond;
  • 55 million EUR of straight green and social bonds part of the Euronext ESG Bonds community, which brings together European issuers of green & social bonds that meet various objective criteria. Cofinimmo is currently one of the few issuers listed in Brussels participating in this committed European community;
  • 500 million EUR for a benchmark sustainable bond, part of the Luxembourg Green Exchange community along with many international issuers as well as a Belgian real estate developer and the Walloon Region;
  • -6 million EUR mainly for the issue below par of the 500 million EUR bond and for the accrued interest not yet due on bond issues;
  • 59 million EUR of long-term commercial paper;
  • 1 million EUR corresponding to the discounted value of the minimum coupon of the Mandatory Convertible Bonds issued by Cofinimur I in December 2011.

7.2.1.2. Bank facilities

  • 5 million EUR of right-of-use financial debts;
  • 12 million EUR in rental guarantees received.

7.2.2. Current financial debts

As at 31.12.2021, Cofinimmo's current financial debts amounted to 1,100 million EUR. These are detailed below.

7.2.2.1. Financial markets

  • 193 million EUR a non-convertible bond including accrued interest not yet due;
  • 770 million EUR of commercial papers with a term of less than one year, of which 100 million EUR with a term of more than six months. The short-term commercial papers issued are fully backed up by availabilities on committed long-term credit lines. Therefore, Cofinimmo benefits from the attractive cost of such a short-term financing programme, while ensuring its refinancing in the event that the issue of new commercial paper becomes more costly or impracticable;
  • 10 million EUR of commercial papers initially concluded on a long-term basis and whose residual term is less than one year.

7.2.2.2. Bank facilities

  • 127 million EUR mainly of bilateral loans maturing within the year.

7.3. Availabilities

On 31.12.2021, availabilities on committed credit lines reached 1,636 million EUR. After deduction of the backup of the commercial paper programme, Cofinimmo had at that date 866 million EUR of available lines to finance its activity.

7.4. Consolidated debt-to-assets ratio

On 31.12.2021, Cofinimmo met the debt-to-assets ratio test. Its regulatory debt-to-assets ratio (calculated in accordance with the regulations on RRECs as: financial and other debts / total assets) reached 44.2% (compared to 46.1% as at 31.12.2020). As a reminder, the maximum debt-to-assets ratio for RRECs is 65%.

When the loan agreements granted to Cofinimmo refer to a debt covenant, they refer to the regulatory debtto-assets ratio and cap it at 60%.

7.5. Weighted average maturity of financial debts

The weighted average maturity of the financial debts remained stable at five years between 31.12.2020 and 31.12.2021. This calculation takes into account the new bond of 500 million EUR issued at the beginning of 2022 for 6 years and the simultaneous cancellation of a credit line of the same amount maturing in 2023. It excludes short-term commercial paper maturities, which are fully covered by tranches available on long-term credit lines.

Committed long-term loans (bank credit lines, bonds, commercial paper with a term of more than one year and term loans), for which the total outstanding amount was 3,413 million EUR as at 31.12.2021, will mature on a staggered basis until 2031. Since 01.01.2022, new bonds have been concluded for a total of 500 million EUR.

7.6. Average cost of debt and hedging of the interest rate

The average cost of debt, including bank margins, was 1.1% for the 2021 financial year, compared to 1.3% for the 2020 financial year.

Cofinimmo opts for the partial hedging of its floating-rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps (IRS) and caps. Cofinimmo conducts a policy aimed at securing the interest rates for a proportion of 50% to 100% of the expected debt over a minimum horizon of three years. In this context, the group uses a global approach (macro hedging). It therefore does not individually hedge each of the floating-rate credit lines.

Taking into account the 2021 hedging operations and the new bond issued in 2022 for 500 million EUR, the breakdown of fixed-rate debt, hedged floating-rate debt and unhedged floating-rate debt was as shown in the graph below.

1 Taking into account the use of credit lines as at 31.12.2021.

To date, the anticipated market interest rate risk is hedged at nearly 90% (or more) until the end of 2025. Cofinimmo's result nevertheless remains sensitive to fluctuations in market interest rates.

7.7. Financial rating

Since 2001, Cofinimmo has been granted a long-term and short-term financial rating from the Standard & Poor's rating agency. On 18.03.2021, Standard & Poor's confirmed the company's BBB rating for the long term (stable outlook) and A-2 for the short term. The group's liquidity has been rated adequate.

7.8. Disposals of treasury shares

Article 8:6 of royal decree of 29.04.2019 executing the companies and associations code stipulates that any disposal of treasury shares must be disclosed.

In accordance with this article, Cofinimmo declares that, following the exercise of stock options in the context of remuneration through stock options on Cofinimmo shares (stock option plan), it has disposed over the counter (OTC) Cofinimmo shares which it held with a view to delivering these shares to the concerned persons.

8. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

8.1. Initiatives in response to climate change

Cofinimmo, being a major real estate player in Europe, has been committed for almost 15 years to a global ESG strategy and actively subscribes to the Paris Agreement concluded at COP21 and reconfirmed at COP26. The group believes that it is possible to aim for a carbon neutral society by 2050 while guaranteeing the interests of all its stakeholders.

Its corporate project 30³ fits perfectly within this framework. The project, which aims at reducing the portfolio's energy intensity by 30% by 2030 to reach 130 kWh/m², remains the focus for 2021 and the years to come. It is complemented by issues relevant to the healthcare real estate sector based on the trajectory adopted in the past. This target, which takes the 2017 level as a reference, has been established according to the science-based targets methodology, thanks to which the group can objectify the effort to be made in order to contribute to the global objective of limiting global warming. The reduction of the portfolio's energy intensity continues, as it went from 190 kWh/m² in 2017 to 165 kWh/m² in 2021 (178 kWh/m² in 2019 and 163 kWh/m² in 2020), i.e. a total reduction of 13% compared to 2017, well on track to achieve the reduction target by 2030.

Since 2020, Cofinimmo joined the Belgian Alliance for Climate Action (BACA), an open platform for Belgian organisations wanting to reduce their GHG emissions and increase their climate ambitions using the science based targets initiative.

In order to achieve the objectives set by the COP21 and those inherent in the 1.5-degree-maximum scenario, Cofinimmo has launched for the first time an in-depth and structured analysis of physical and transitional risks. This will make it possible to define the level of risk exposure of the assets, and to set up an action plan covering the entire portfolio, so that it complies with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD).

Since almost 15 years, Cofinimmo has been relying on an environmental management system, certified ISO 14001:2015, throughout the life cycle of its portfolio. This certification is systematically renewed every three years and guarantees that the company manages the environmental aspects of its activities, including its compliance with the environmental regulations in force, in a structured manner.

Cofinimmo also pays particular attention to the coherence between its financial strategy and its ESG objectives. In January 2022, the company successfully issued a benchmark public sustainable bond for an aggregated nominal amount of 500 million EUR, similar to that of November 2020. The proceeds from this issuance will be entirely used to (re)finance assets in accordance with Cofinimmo's sustainable finance

REGULATED INFORMATION Brussels, embargo until 24.02.2022, 5:40 PM CET

framework of May 2020. This operation enabled to further strengthen Cofinimmo's balance sheet and consolidate its reputation on the international capital market.

In January 2022, Cofinimmo was granted the Euronext Brussels Sustainable Growth Award 2021 by Euronext Brussels. This award is a clear recognition of the group's historical and ongoing commitment to ESG, an area in which Cofinimmo has been a pioneer since 2008 and which is an integral part of its DNA. It is also a fantastic motivation to continue to increase the efforts and to contribute to building a more sustainable environment.

Following the renewal of the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (EU Directive 2014/95), Cofinimmo has until 01.01.2024 to report its activities according to the European taxonomy. However, Cofinimmo is preparing for transparent communication as from 2023 (eligibility report for the 2022 financial year).

8.2. References, notations and certifications

In order to meet the demand of its stakeholders, the group has also adopted a proactive approach when it comes to ESG benchmarks and questionnaires, which are sources of primary and objective data for many of its stakeholders. Throughout the year 2021, Cofinimmo has therefore obtained certifications and ratings from numerous agencies and institutions (CDP, GRESB, ISS ESG, EPRA, etc.). Obtaining these ratings is not an end in itself but confirms the solidity of Cofinimmo's ESG commitments and encourages the group to continue along this path.

  • On 02.03.2021, the rating granted by Sustainalytics was updated: it improved, going from 14.9 to 12.6;
  • On 01.03.2021, for the first time in the healthcare real estate segment, Cofinimmo has obtained a BREEAM Very Good certification for the new site in Vigo, thanks notably to its performance in the field of mobility, energy and ecology (see section 4.5);
  • On 30.06.2021, Vigeo Eiris published Cofinimmo's new global ESG score, which now stands at 58% (compared to 59% in 2019), which corresponds to a 'Robust' level. This places Cofinimmo in the Top 10 of the best results in the sector. The scores per category are as follows: Environment (67%), Social (51%) and Governance (61%), which is above the sector average;
  • On 15.07.2021, Cofinimmo received the final BREEAM Excellent certification for the nursing and care home under construction in Oleiros (Spain);

  • On 22.09.2021, Cofinimmo was granted, for the eighth consecutive year, an EPRA Gold Award Best Practices Recommendations for its 2020 financial report and an EPRA Gold Award Sustainability Best Practices for its 2020 ESG report;
  • On 23.09.2021, Cofinimmo received the final BREEAM Excellent certification for the Quartz office building, notably thanks to the triple-glazed windows, a high-performance heating and ventilation system, an ultraefficient lighting concept with light detection and a fully flexible building management system;

  • On 15.12.2021, the commitments made by Cofinimmo in terms of environmental actions have been published on the European Climate Pact website. These include: the objectives of the 30³ project, as

REGULATED INFORMATION Brussels, embargo until 24.02.2022, 5:40 PM CET

validated by the SBTi initiative; the transparency in the disclosure of climate-related environmental data published on the CDP platform, being for investors or for Cofinimmo's clients; the integration of climate scenario analysis into the group's strategy;

  • In January 2022, two assets, part of the healthcare portfolio in Belgium, were granted BREEAM In-Use Very Good certification. According to the BREEAM platform (as at 17.01.2022), 21 assets in the healthcare sector are certified BREEAM In-Use in all geographical areas covered (including the USA). To date, eight sites have a Good to Excellent BREEAM or HEQ certification and seven sites have a Good to Very Good BREEAM In Use certification. A rotation policy is applied for BREEAM or BREEAM-equivalent certification favouring the certification of buildings not certified in the past, which goes beyond a simple extension of the certifications already obtained. The number of buildings that have thus obtained BREEAM or BREEAMequivalent certification at one time or another amounts to 30;
  • On 18.01.2022, Cofinimmo was granted the Euronext Brussels Sustainable Growth Award 2021 by Euronext. This award, exclusively based on measurable data, rewards the companies listed on Euronext Brussels that have shown the strongest sustainable growth over the last decade. This first place underlines the group's commitment in the field of ESG. As a reminder, last year Cofinimmo had already finished on the podium in third place;
  • On 20.01.2022, European Women on Board (EWOB) has published its Gender Diversity Index (GDI) for 2021. This index looks at the percentage of women working at management and board level in European companies. Despite a slight decrease from 0.81 to 0.75, Cofinimmo still ranks well above the world average of 0.59. Thanks to this result, Cofinimmo ranks third in Belgium.

8.3. Investigations and inspections towards some healthcare operators

The publication of a book by a French journalist, about investigations carried out in nursing and care homes in France, prompted investigations and inspections by the competent authorities of some operators active in the care of elderly people in France, and to some extent, in Belgium.

Cofinimmo pleads for a rapid conclusion of these investigations and inspections, firstly in the interests of the residents concerned and their families, but also for the benefit of the entire sector dedicated to the care and support of the elderly.

Cofinimmo is confident that the result of these investigations and inspections should lead to balanced measures that will strengthen the quality of life within healthcare facilities. The effects of these measures on the financial and non-financial indicators will, if necessary, be reflected in our investment policy, in addition to the current acquisition procedures.

As a reminder, as a regulated real estate company, Cofinimmo is in no way involved in the operation of the sites leased to healthcare operators. The occupancy rate is managed by the operator of the sites, and the rents are independent of the local occupancy rate or the financial performance, within the framework of long-term contracts (see sections 6.2 and 6.3 for more details on diversification in terms of tenant and geography).

Comments on the consolidated income statement – Analytical form

Rents (gross rental income) amount to 299 million EUR, compared to 258 million EUR as at 31.12.2020, up 16.2%, thanks to the acquisitions made between these two dates. On a like-for-like basis*, gross rental income increased by 0.9% between 31.12.2020 and 31.12.2021 (see section 6.5). Rental income (after gratuities, concessions and termination indemnities – see details on the calculation of alternative performance indicators) amounts to 292 million EUR, compared to 252 million EUR as at 31.12.2020, up 16.2% compared to 2020. After taking writedowns on receivables into account, rental income, net of rental charges, amounts to 292 million EUR, compared to 249 million EUR as at 31.12.2020, up 17.2%, in line with the outlook1 announced last October.

Redecoration costs, net of tenant compensation for damages are up by approximately 2 million EUR, and are in line with the outlook. By nature, these costs are exposed on a non-regular basis over the financial year or from one financial year to the next. The credit amount recorded in 2020 came from the recovery of compensations for damages.

As for the direct operating costs, the variations between 31.12.2020 and 31.12.2021 are in line with the outlook.

The variation in corporate management costs over the same period is also in line with the outlook. The operating margin is established at 82.1% and is in line with the outlook.

Financial income increased by 4 million EUR between 31.12.2020 and 31.12.2021. Last year's figure included non-recurring items for one million EUR, whereas the 2021 financial income includes non-recurring items for less than 2 million EUR booked in the 1st half-year, and linked to the contributions in kind of 08.04.2021. Income from finance lease receivables is up (+1 million EUR), as well as capitalised interim interest related to ongoing development projects (+2 million EUR). Net interest charges (27 million EUR) increased by 3 million EUR. This increase was tempered by the reversal in the third quarter of the accrued interests on the convertible bonds that were converted into capital on 30.09.2021. The average cost of debt decreases to 1.1%, compared to 1.3% as at 31.12.2020. The financial result is in line with the outlook.

The share in the result on net result from core activities of associates and joint ventures amounts to 3 million EUR (in line with the outlook), mainly due to the investment made by Cofinimmo at the end of 2020 in SCI Foncière CRF, created by the French Red Cross.

Taxes increased and are in line with the outlook.

The group's momentum in terms of investments and financing, coupled with effective management of the existing portfolio, enabled the company to realise a net result from core activities – group share of 212 million EUR as at 31.12.2021, in line with the outlook (compared with the 181 million EUR that were made at 31.12.2020, i.e. a 17% increase), mainly thanks to the investments made. The net result from core activities per share – group share amounts to 7.15 EUR (in line with the outlook, compared to 6.85 EUR as at 31.12.2020, i.e. a 4% increase), taking into account the issue of shares in 2020 and 2021. The average number

of shares entitled to the result of the period evolved from 26,478,781 to 29,655,292 between these two dates.

As for the result of financial instruments, the item Change in the fair value of financial instruments amounts to +41 million EUR as at 31.12.2021, compared to -23 million EUR as at 31.12.2020. This variation is explained by the change in the anticipated interest rate curve between these two periods.

As for the result on the portfolio, the gains or losses on disposals of investment properties and other nonfinancial assets is 8 million EUR as at 31.12.2021 (compared to 5 million EUR as at 31.12.2020). The item Changes in the fair value of investment properties is positive as at 31.12.2021 (+35 million EUR compared to -14 million EUR as at 31.12.2020): the value appreciation of the healthcare property portfolios (particularly in Germany and the Netherlands) and that of the office buildings located in the Central Business District of Brussels (CBD) have more than compensated the value depreciation of certain buildings. These variations are also tempered by the change of the consolidation scope (mainly the difference between the price paid, including transfer taxes, and the fair value determined by the independent real estate valuers, excluding transfer taxes, on the acquisitions for the period) and by the increase in the rate of transfer taxes in Flanders relating to the Pubstone portfolio (going from 10% to 12% as from 01.01.2022, which represented a charge of 3 million EUR). Without the initial effect from the changes in the scope, the changes in the fair value of investment properties is up (+1.1%) for the 2021 financial year. The item Other result on the portfolio is - 37 million EUR as at 31.12.2021 (compared to -36 million EUR as at 31.12.2020) and comprises, among others, the effect of changes in the scope, that of deferred taxes1 and the impairment on goodwill.

The net result – group share amounts to 260 million EUR (i.e. 8.78 EUR per share) as at 31.12.2021, compared to 119 million EUR (i.e. 4.50 EUR per share) as at 31.12.2020. This fluctuation is mainly due to the increase in the net result from core activities – group share and to the changes in the fair value of investment properties and hedging instruments between 31.12.2020 and 31.12.2021, these two elements being non-cash items.

1 Deferred taxes on the unrealised capital gains relating to the buildings owned by certain subsidiaries.

11. Outlook for 2022

11.1. Investment programme

In the context of the preparation of its 2022 budget, Cofinimmo set its investment assumptions, which would amount to approximately 600 million EUR gross for the 2022 financial year. Their breakdown is as follows:

  • investments in healthcare real estate in the amount of 576 million EUR, resulting from the construction of new units or the extension of existing units to which the Cofinimmo group is committed (240 million EUR), but also to new investments (already made at the beginning of 2022 for 80 million EUR and under due diligence for 55 million EUR) and hypothetical for 200 million EUR;
  • investments in offices for 20 million EUR, corresponding mainly to ongoing or planned major renovations expenditures;
  • investments in property of distribution networks in Belgium and the Netherlands for 4 million EUR resulting from major renovation works on pubs and restaurants in the Pubstone portfolio.

Furthermore, divestments are planned for a total amount of approximately 140 million EUR, mainly in office buildings but also in healthcare real estate and in property of distribution networks.

These assumptions do not take into account the potential entry of one or several partners in the capital of Cofinimmo Offices.

Estimated investments for the 2022 financial year per segment (x 1,000,000 EUR)

PRESS RELEASE

11.2. Portfolio mix and outlook regarding the withholding tax

The outlook regarding the withholding tax is stated on page 91 of the 2020 universal registration document, published on 09.04.2021. Since then, the framework legislation of 27.12.2021 has increased the relevant threshold for reduced withholding tax to 80% (vs. 60% previously) (Article 20 of the framework legislation amending Article 171, 3° quater of the Income Tax Code).

This threshold is currently not achieved; the estimated percentage as at 31.12.2021 is approximately 59%. The framework legislation defines the method for calculating the percentage: it is calculated by adding the values of the valuations and updates at the various reference points in time and by dividing them by the total value of these valuations and updates at the various reference points in time.

11.3. Net results from core activities and dividend per share

Based on the information currently available and the assumptions detailed above (gross investments of 600 million EUR or 460 million EUR net in 2022), and in particular the disposals carried out in 2021 and budgeted in 2022, Cofinimmo expects, barring major unforeseen events, to achieve rental income, net of rental charges of 310 million EUR leading to a net result from core activities – group share of 219 million EUR (compared to 212 million EUR as at 31.12.2020), i.e. 6.90 EUR per share for the 2022 financial year, taking into account the prorata temporis dilutive effects of the capital increases carried out in 2021 (approximately 0.50 EUR per share) and the disposals carried out in 2021 and the ones budgeted in 2022 (approximately 0.35 EUR per share).

Based on the same data and assumptions, the debt-to-assets ratio would be lower than 49% as at 31.12.2022. This ratio does not take into account possible increases in fair value (which, if necessary, will be determined by the independent real estate valuers).

The board of directors therefore plans to offer shareholders a gross dividend of 6.20 EUR per share for the 2022 financial year (i.e. a consolidated pay-out ratio of 90%), up compared to 2021.

This outlook is provided subject to the main risks and uncertainties stated below (see section 14).

13. Corporate governance

With respect to corporate governance, Cofinimmo seeks to maintain the highest standards and continuously reassesses its methods in relation to the principles, practices and requirements of the field. Cofinimmo's corporate governance practice is compliant with the Belgian Code in this area1 . It is however recalled that during the ordinary general meeting of 12.05.2021 the mandate of Mrs Françoise Roels, as director, as well as those of Mrs Inès Archer-Toper and Mr Jacques van Rijckevorsel as independent directors as meant by article 7:87 of the Code of Companies and Associations (CCA) and provision 3.5 of the 2020 Code have been renewed with immediate effect, until the end of the ordinary general meeting to be held in 2025.

13.1. Ordinary general meeting of 12.05.2021

The ordinary general meeting was held on 12.05.2021. The topics on the agendas were as follows:

  • Acknowledgement of the management report on the statutory and consolidated financial year ending 31.12.2020;
  • Approval of the remuneration report for the financial year ending 31.12.2020;
  • Acknowledgement of the statutory auditor's report on the statutory annual accounts as at 31.12.2020 and the statutory auditor's report on the consolidated annual accounts as at 31.12.2020;

  • Miscellaneous.

All proposals on the agenda of the ordinary general meeting have been addressed and approved (see press release dated 12.05.2021).

On 09.04.2021, an extraordinary general meeting was called for 12.05.2021 (see press release dated 09.04.2021). Since the required quorum was not achieved at this meeting, a second general meeting was called on 19.05.2021 to convene on 07.06.2021 in order to deliberate on the same agenda, regardless of the number of shareholders present or represented (see press release dated 10.05.2021). The following topics were on the agenda:

  • Renewal of the authorisation concerning the authorised capital;
  • Powers of attorney.

All of the proposed resolutions on the agenda have been discussed and approved (see press release dated 07.06.2021).

14. Main risks and uncertainties

In the current context of the '5 th wave' of COVID-19 contaminations, the board of directors believes that the main risk factors summarised on pages 2 to 6 of the 2020 universal registration document, published on 09.04.2021, are still relevant for the 2022 financial year. They will of course be updated in the 2021 universal registration document which will be published in April 2022.

In this case, the effects of the recent situation around some healthcare operators (see section 8.3 above), mainly in France, can be assessed from different angles that fit into the analysis of risk factors:

  • Leasing market in the segments in which the group operates (see F.1.1.2): should the occupancy rate of the said operators durably be affected and/or as a result of an increase in their operating or financial expenses;
  • Concentration risk (see F.1.3.1): should some of the group's current tenants need to merge;
  • Vacancy rate (see F.1.3.2): in the event of early termination of leases;
  • Changes to social security schemes (see F.3.2): should the legal framework in which these operators operate change in a way that it becomes unfavourable to their development or to the respect of their existing commitments towards the owners of the properties they operate;
  • Lack of ESG transparency (see F.5.2): in the event of a contagion effect on the reputation of Cofinimmo and/or the other owners of properties operated by these tenants.

Furthermore, the independent real estate valuers' report mentions an explanatory note on the impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) which only takes into account a 'material valuation uncertainty' (as defined by the 'Royal institute of Chartered Surveyors' – 'RICS' – standards and in accordance with the 'Valuation Practice Alert' of 02.04.2020 published by the RICS).
