PRESS RELEASE

REGULATED INFORMATION Brussels, embargo until 07.11.2019, 5:40 PM CET

1. Summary of activity since 01.07.2019

For more than 35 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 consolidated its leadership in healthcare real estate in Europe over the course of recent months.

The third quarter of the 2019 financial year has been marked by the extension of Cofinimmo's healthcare portfolio to Spain. On 05.09.2019, Cofinimmo announced its settlement with a first pipeline of five construction projects for a total investment budget of approximately 45 million EUR. The projects are already pre-let to CECLE, one of Spain's major operators. Moreover, during the last quarter, Cofinimmo invested more than 90 million EUR in various sub-segments of healthcare real estate, mainly in Germany and in the Netherlands. At 30.09.2019, healthcare assets (2.4 billion EUR, up by 26% compared to 31.12.2018) represent more than 56% of the Group's portfolio which amounts to 4.3 billion EUR.

In the office sector, the notary deeds for the sale of Colonel Bourg 105 and Woluwe 102 have been signed as planned during the third quarter. And on July 18, Cofinimmo concluded an unconditional private agreement relating to the sale of the Souverain/Vorst 23-25 office buildings for an amount of EUR 50 million. The current strategy in this sector consists of improving the overall balance of the offices portfolio by reducing the part invested in the decentralised area to the benefit of assets located in the CBD. After 30.09.2019, Cofinimmo announced the sale of the office building Corner Building in the decentralised area of Brussels, for more than 4 million EUR .

The financing of the company has also seen one major transaction since the start of the second semester: Cofinimmo carried out the early refinancing of its syndicated loan, increasing it to 400 million EUR (300 million EUR previously) and deferring its maturity to 2024 (2021 previously).

The Group's dynamism in terms of investments and financing (average cost of debt down to 1.5%), combined with efficient management of the existing portfolio (occupancy rate of 96.8%, gross rental revenues up by 2.2% on a like-for-like basis, operating margin at 82.7%), enabled it to achieve a net result from core activities - Group share of 121 million EUR as at 30.09.2019, which is higher than the budget1 . It compares to 107 million EUR achieved as at 30.09.2018. The net result from core activities - Group share amounts to 5.06 EUR per share (higher than the budget, compared to 4.89 EUR as at 30.09.2018) and takes into account the issue of shares at the time of the capital increase in cash of July 2018, and at the time of the contributions in kind of last April and June.

The net result - Group share reached 134 million EUR (i.e. 5.56 EUR per share) as at 30.09.2019, compared to 145 million EUR (or 6.62 EUR per share) as at 30.09.2018. This fluctuation is mainly due to the capital gain realised in 2018 on the long-term lease for the Egmont I and II buildings.

These results confirm the budgeted dividend for 2019 (5.60 EUR gross per share, up compared to 2018), which was announced last February based on a budgeted net result from core activities of 6.74 EUR per share.

Following the above-mentioned investments, the Group's debt-to-assets ratio amounts to 42.2%, providing Cofinimmo with the investment capacity to pursue its growth ambitions.

Spain offers interesting perspectives for Cofinimmo for expanding its portfolio and deploying its real estate expertise. Cofinimmo has the ambition to contribute in meeting the need for more modern nursing and care homes in Spain and offers therefore its long experience in development and renovation of care facilities.

The Cofinimmo group signed (through its subsidiary Gloria Health Care Properties, S.L.U.) agreements regarding the acquisition of a first plot of land in Vigo in the autonomous community of Galicia, in Northwest Spain. A nursing and care home is currently in construction on this plot.

The investment budget amounts to almost 8 million EUR. Works started in May and delivery is planned for November 2020. The double net1 lease will have a 20-year term and the initial gross yield will amount to 6%. The rent will be indexed annually according to the Spanish consumer price index. Built in a district where nursing and care homes are still missing, this building will complete Vigo's network of nursing and care homes. It will have a very high A-level energy performance.

Besides the project in Vigo, Cofinimmo already identified four other sites in the autonomous communities of Galicia, Valencia, Murcia and Andalusia. The delivery of the last nursing and care home of this series is currently planned for the summer of 2021.

CLECE Vitam is a subsidiary of CLECE. Established in 1992, it is one of the main operators in Spain. The group offers a wide range of services, such as maintenance, facility management, logistics, safety, gardening and has more than 74,000 staff members in Spain, Portugal and the United Kingdom.

On 06.06.2019, Cofinimmo signed a private agreement regarding the sale of the Woluwe 102 office building, located in the boulevard de la Woluwelaan, in the decentralised area of Brussels, for more than 8 million EUR. This amount is in line with the last fair value (as at 31.03.2019) determined by the independent valuer of Cofinimmo. The notary deed was signed on 22.08.2019. The building offers more than 6,400 m² of office space, approximately 1,600 m² of multipurpose space and 200 parking spaces. A large part of the building is vacant.

4.8. Public-Private Partnership

The NEO II public procurement, designed by Jean Nouvel, has been assigned to the consortium CFE/Cofinimmo

As a reminder, the NEO II public procurement has been assigned to the consortium composed of CFE and Cofinimmo in July 2018. The purpose of this public procurement, which has been launched by the city of Brussels and the Brussels-Capital Region in 2013, is a Design-Build-Finance-Maintain (DBFM) contract for a convention centre and a high-class hotel. The complex will be located on the Heysel plateau, north of Brussels, next to the Atomium. The goal of NEO II is to establish Brussels as an international conference city. This prestigious 49,000 m² convention centre will be able to receive more than 5,000 participants simultaneously in various events such as international conventions, spectacles and meetings. The centre will be coupled with a luxury four-star hotel, with a surface area of approximately 15,000 m² and comprising 250 rooms. The consortium CFE/Cofinimmo called on the internationally renowned contemporary French architect Jean Nouvel to design the site. His latest masterpiece is the national museum of Qatar, which was inaugurated in March 2019. The Belgian bureau MDW Architecture will supervise the implementation of the project.

The signature of the contracts, which was expected to take place early 2019, is supposed to take place in the fourth quarter of 2019. The construction works will start after obtaining the permits, currently expected by the end of 2021, and should last three years. The convention centre's operational phase will have a fixed duration of 20 years and will start as soon as the certificate of availability has been delivered at the end of the construction works. As for the hotel, the consortium CFE/Cofinimmo intends to conclude an agreement with NH Hotel Group. This international group has extensive experience in hotel infrastructure management, combined with MICE1 infrastructure all over Europe.

7. Management of financial resources

7.1. Financing operations since 01.01.2019

During the first two quarters, Cofinimmo reinforced its financial resources and its balance sheet structure. The financing operations during the financial year allowed the Group to increase its available financing, to reduce the average cost of debt and to maintain its maturity. During the third quarter, Cofinimmo kept its momentum with the operations stated hereunder.

7.1.1 Signing of the early refinancing of a syndicated loan

In order to maintain considerable unused credit lines, Cofinimmo early refinanced its 300 million EUR syndicated loan on 01.07.2019. The success rate encountered with the various invited bankers during the syndication process resulted in an increase of the 300 million EUR syndicated loan to 400 million EUR, with eight participating banks and improved financing conditions. This new syndicated loan has a maturity of five years with two additional one-year extensions and includes an option to increase the amount with 50 million EUR.

7.1.2 Interest rate hedges

Given the fall in interest rates continued in the third quarter of 2019, Cofinimmo increased its hedging portfolio over a nine-year horizon. IRS covering the years 2026, 2027 and 2028 were subscribed for a total amount of 300 million EUR in order to increase the hedging over these years.

7.2. Debt maturity

The weighted average maturity of the financial commitments remained stable, at four years between 31.12.2018 and 30.09.2019. This calculation excludes short-term commercial paper maturities, which are fully covered by tranches available on committed long-term credit lines. It also does not take into account maturities for which refinancing is already in place.

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 is 2,210 million EUR, which will mature on a staggered basis until 2029.

Schedule of long-term financial commitments as at 30.09.2019 (x 1,000,000 EUR)

7.3. Consolidated debt-to-assets ratios

Cofinimmo met all financial debt-to-assets ratio limits on 30.09.2019. Its regulatory debt-to-assets ratio (calculated in accordance with the regulations on RRECs as: Financial and other debts / Total assets) reached 42.2% (compared to 43.0% as at 31.12.2018). As a reminder, the statutory maximum debt-to-assets ratio for RRECs is 65%.

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

7.4. Cost of debt

The average cost of debt, including bank margins stood at 1.5% for the first three quarters of the 2019 financial year, compared to 1.9% for the complete 2018 financial year.

Cofinimmo opts for the partial hedging of its floating rate debt through the use of IRS and caps. Cofinimmo also conducts a policy aiming at securing the interest rates for a proportion of 50% to 100% of the forecast debt over a minimum horizon of three years. In this context, the Group uses a global approach (macro hedging). As a result, it does not individually hedge floating-rate credit lines.

As at 30.09.2019, the breakdown of forecast fixed-rate debt, hedged floating-rate debt and unhedged floating-rate debt was presented as shown in the graph on the following page.

As at 30.09.2019, the interest rate risk was hedged at 70% until the end of 2021. Cofinimmo's result nevertheless remains sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates.

7.5. Financial rating

The S&P rating agency confirmed Cofinimmo's rating on 27.05.2019: BBB for the long term (stable outlook) and A-2 for the short term.

7.6. Preference shares

On 28.05.2019, Cofinimmo announced its decision to designate one of its subsidiaries – Gestone III SA/NV – as holder of the purchase right on preference shares I (ISIN code BE0003811289) and II (ISIN code BE0003813301), in accordance with article 8.3 of the articles of association. The company announced that Gestone III SA/NV decided to exercise its call option.

In accordance with the company's articles of association, Cofinimmo offered the holders of preference shares the possibility to request the conversion of their preference shares into ordinary shares (1:1 ratio) for a period of one month, running from 29.05.2019 until 30.06.2019.

At the end of this conversion period, Cofinimmo received conversion requests for 97.5% of the outstanding preference shares. These conversions were recorded by notary deed on 12.07.2019 and resulted in the creation and delivery of a total of 680,603 new ordinary shares of the company.

There has been no conversion request for 1,257 preference shares I and 15,875 preference shares II as at 30.06.2019. Therefore, these preference shares were purchased by Gestone III SA/NV on 12.07.2019.

REGULATED INFORMATION Brussels, embargo until 07.11.2019, 5:40 PM CET

The price of the preference shares was set at their issue price, i.e. 107.89 EUR per preference share I and 104.44 EUR per preference share II, in accordance with the articles of association.

The purchase price of the unconverted preference shares were paid on the bank account of the shareholders concerned, as mentioned in the shareholders' register, on 12.07.2019 (in the absence of a valid bank account number, the preference shares have been transferred to Gestone III SA/NV, subject to transfer of the purchase price to the Deposit and Consignment Office).

Gestone III SA/NV sent a conversion request for the purchased preference shares to Cofinimmo. This conversion into ordinary shares was also recorded on 12.07.2019. As from this date, the Cofinimmo capital consists exclusively of 25,849,283 ordinary shares.

Comments on the consolidated income statement - Analytical form

Net rental income was 172 million EUR at 30.09.2019, compared to 157 million EUR at 30.09.2018 (+10.0%). This is higher than the budget1 . The loss in rental income from the Egmont I and II office buildings (2 million EUR, non-recurring element in the first quarter of 2018) was more than compensated by rental income generated by investments in healthcare real estate in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. On a like-for-like basis*, gross rental revenues increased (+2.2%) between 30.09.2018 and 30.09.2019 (see section 6.3).

As for the direct operating costs, the variations between 30.09.2018 and 30.09.2019 are in line with the budget. The evolution in corporate management costs over the same period is also in line with that of the first semester of 2019. The operating margin amounts to 82.7%.

Financial income is stable at 7 million EUR; last year's figure included a non-recurring item related to the Egmont I and II office buildings. The 2019 financial income includes non-recurring items for 3 million EUR, which were recognised in the first half of the year and related to the indemnities received from the contributions in kind made on 29.04.2019 and 26.06.2019 as a compensation for the allocation of a full dividend right to the new shares issued on those dates.

The net interest charges decreased compared with last year, particularly thanks to the capital increase of 02.07.2018; the average cost of debt decreased to 1.5%, compared with 1.9% as at 30.09.2018. The net interest charges are in line with the budget.

Taxes, although increased with 1 million EUR, are in line with the budget.

The Group's momentum in terms of investments and financing, coupled with effective management of the existing portfolio, allowed the company to realise a net result from core activities - Group share of 121 million EUR as at 30.09.2019, higher than the budget, compared with 107 million EUR as at 30.09.2018. The prior year figures were positively impacted by scope variations arising from the signing of a long lease on the Egmont I and II office buildings. The net result from core activities - Group share amounts to 5.06 EUR per share (higher than the budget, compared with 4.89 EUR as at 30.09.2018), taking into account the issue of shares in the context of the capital increase in cash of July 2018 and of the contributions in kind of last April and June. The average number of shares entitled to the result of the period evolved from 21,856,160 to 24,004,182 between these two dates.

1 I.e. the quarterly budget derived from the yearly budget for 2019 presented in the 2018 annual financial report.

PRESS RELEASE

As for the result of financial instruments, the 'change in the fair value of financial instruments' item amounted to -47 million EUR as at 30.09.2019, compared with +4 million EUR as at 30.09.2018. This variation is explained by the change in the forward interest rate curve between these two periods. The 2018 'restructuring costs of the financial instruments' (1 million EUR) reflected the positive impact of the cancellation (in the first quarter of 2018) of two foreign exchange put options into euro. There were no comparable transactions in 2019.

As for the result on the portfolio, the gains or losses on disposals of investment properties and other nonfinancial assetsis 2 million EUR as at 30.09.2019, compared with 28 million EUR as at 30.09.2018. Last year's amount included primarily the net capital gain of 28 million EUR realised on the long-lease of the Egmont I and II buildings (non-recurring element). The item 'Changes in the fair value of investment properties' is 70 million EUR as at 30.09.2019 (10 million EUR as at 30.09.2018) : the value appreciation of healthcare real estate portfolios, as well as the positive effect of the marketing of the Quartz office building, largely compensated the value depreciation of some buildings. Without the initial effect from the changes in the scope, the changes in the fair value of investment properties is positive (+1.9%) for the first nine months of 2019. The item 'Other result on the portfolio', is -12 million EUR as at 30.09.2019 and mainly comprises the effect of deferred taxes1 .

The net result - Group share amounted to 134 million EUR (i.e. 5.56 EUR per share) as at 30.09.2019, compared to 145 million EUR (i.e. 6.62 EUR per share) as at 30.09.2018. This fluctuation is mainly due to the net capital gain realised in 2018 on the long-lease of the Egmont I and II buildings.
