PRESS RELEASE

1. Interim management report

1.1. Summary of activity since 01.01.2019

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.

During the first half of the 2019 financial year, Cofinimmo once again accelerated its investments in healthcare real estate: 20 sites entered the portfolio during the half-year, including 15 in two operations that were completed on the same day, on 26.06.2019. In addition, five construction projects were delivered. In doing so, the fair value of investment properties and the balance sheet total assets both exceeded the 4 billion EUR mark, while the share of healthcare real estate now accounts for 54% of the portfolio.

In the office sector, the first half-year of 2019 was first marked by the signing of a 15-year usufruct contract for the entire Quartz building currently being redeveloped in the central business district of Brussels ('CBD'). And last July, Cofinimmo announced the sale of the buildings Souverain/Vorst 23-25 for an amount of 50 million EUR. At the same time, Cofinimmo made two targeted sales in the decentralised area of Brussels, and acquired two companies, each one holding a high quality office building and ideally located in the CBD. These operations illustrate Cofinimmo's strategy in the office sector. It 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.

The financing of the company has also seen several major transactions since the start of the financial year: in addition to capital increases by contributions in kind totalling almost 300 million EUR, Cofinimmo extended its commercial paper programme to 800 million EUR (650 million EUR previously), and 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 (gross rental revenues up by 2.2% on a like-for-like basis, operating margin at 82.2%), enabled it to achieve a net result from core activities - Group share of 75 million EUR as at 30.06.2019, which is higher than the budget1 . It compares to 68 million EUR achieved as at 30.06.2018 thanks to the scope effects following the signing of the long-term leasehold for the Egmont I and II office buildings. The net result from core activities - Group share amounts to 3.23 EUR per share (higher than the budget, compared to 3.20 EUR as at 30.06.2018) 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 71 million EUR (i.e. 3.07 EUR per share) as at 30.06.2019, compared to 98 million EUR (or 4.58 EUR per share) as at 30.06.2018. This fluctuation is mainly due to the change in the fair value of hedging instruments (non-cash item) between the first half-year of 2018 and the first half-year of 2019.

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 ratio amounts to 42.3% providing Cofinimmo with the investment capacity to pursue its growth ambitions.

1 The insurance costs, taxes and maintenance expenses are borne by the tenant.

PRESS RELEASE

- Acquisition of 15 nursing and care homes in Belgium by contributions in kind

On 26.06.2019, Cofinimmo signed agreements regarding the acquistion of 15 nursing and care homes in Belgium. This was achieved through a contribution in kind of the shares of a company for seven assets on one hand, and by the contribution in kind of the other eight assets on the other hand. The conventional value for the calculation of the share price and the value of the buildings together amount to approximately 297 million EUR. The contributions in kind amount to 270,446,932 EUR. Within this framework, 2,617,051 new ordinary shares were issued.

Together, the sites offer a total above-ground surface area of around 100,000 m² and a capacity of 1,576 units, of which 1,480 are suitable for seniors with high care needs and 96 units are intended for seniors who want to live independently with care and services on request. They are spread across Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels.

The portfolio consists of a series of particularly recent buildings: around half are less than four years old and two thirds are under ten years old. This results in a good energy performance. Some buildings have an advanced ventilation system with a dual-flow for air supply and exhaust (ventilation system D) and one building is even completely passive. Several buildings are equipped with innovations to increase the comfort of the residents. The assets are easily accessible by public transport and are surrounded by greenery or have a garden.

Cofinimmo welcomes five new operators. Care-Ion operates nine nursing and care homes in Belgium, which represent 1,123 beds, and has 630 employees. The group's objective is to develop the necessary infrastructure for various housing and care facilities in Belgium. They do this by renovating and expanding existing nursing and care homes, but also by building new centres. Vlietoever, 't Hofke and Zwaluw operate five sites and one daycare centre, for a total of approximately 300 units in nursing and care homes and service flats. Vulpia is one of the largest Belgian players in elderly care. Until today, Cofinimmo had not yet owned a building operated by them, while Cofinimmo has already built up many years of proven experience with the other operators, being Senior Living Group (Korian) and Armonea.

For all assets, triple net1 agreements with a weighted average residual lease length of 26 years were concluded with the operators. The leases are indexed based on the Belgian consumer price index. The initial gross yield is approximately 4.5%, which is in line with the current market conditions and the quality of the nursing and care homes.

1 The insurance costs, taxes and maintenance expenses are borne by the tenant.

1.4.2. Healthcare real estate in Germany

  • Investments during the first half-year of 2019: 33 million EUR
  • Healthcare real estate portfolio in Germany as at 30.06.2019: 429 million EUR

Cofinimmo holds a healthcare real estate portfolio with a fair value of 429 million EUR in Germany. During the first half-year of 2019, Cofinimmo invested 33 million EUR in it.

Main accomplishments:

Acquisition of two nursing and care homes in Germany by contribution in kind

The Cofinimmo Group acquired two nursing and care homes in Germany through its subsidiary GECARE 1 SA/NV: 'Matthäus-Stift der Diakonie' in Ingolstadt (in the state of Bavaria) and 'Pflegewohnpark Glück im Winkel' in Neunkirchen (in the state of Baden-Württemberg). A contribution in kind of the receivables resulting therefrom was carried out on 29.04.2019. The contractual value of the assets amounted to approximately 29 million EUR. In this context, 238,984 new ordinary shares were issued.

The first nursing and care home is located in Ingolstadt, a city with over 130,000 inhabitants and home to the headquarters of Audi, halfway between Munich and Nuremberg. It has an above-ground surface area of more than 5,900 m² and offers approximately 110 beds. The building is located in a residential area and, thanks to the train station nearby, easily accessible by public transport. Works are foreseen. They will amount to approximately 1 million EUR and will be borne by the contributor; upon completion, the nursing and care home will offer nearly 125 beds, spread over approximately 6,500 m². The establishment is leased by the operator 'Diakonie Ingolstadt' until 30.04.2021, after which a new lease agreement will be concluded for 25 years with the operator Domus Cura GmbH.

The second nursing and care home is located in Neunkirchen (Baden-Württemberg), a municipality located in the south-west of Germany, halfway between Stuttgart and Frankfurt am Main. It has an above-ground surface area of more than 3,500 m² and has 70 beds. The building is equipped with a modern pellet boiler, while the hot water production is based on solar energy. Extension works amounting to approximately 4 million EUR are planned and will be borne by the contributor. The nursing and care home will therefore offer 97 beds over approximately 4,500 m2 . The facility is operated by Pflegewohnpark Glück im Winkel Betriebsgesellschaft BmbH, a subsidiary of Domus Cura GmbH. The 'Dach und Fach' 1 lease also has a residual term of 25 years.

Acquisition of a portfolio of four nursing and care homes in Germany

Cofinimmo signed before a notary an agreement, subject to conditions, regarding the acquisition of four nursing and care homes. The sites, spread across Germany, cover a total above-ground surface area of approximately 29,000 m² and offer approximately 430 beds. For all assets, 'Dach und Fach' 1 lease agreements with a duration of 25 years were concluded with the operator Curata Care Holding GmbH.

A budget of 6 million EUR is also planned for works. The total acquisition price after works amounts to approximately 50 million EUR. The leases are indexed based on the German consumer price index. The initial gross yield after works will still be in line with current market conditions.

1 The owner is primarily responsible for the maintenance costs of the roof and the structure of the building.

Construction works of a care centre for people suffering from mental disorders located in Gorinchem, in the province of South Holland, were delivered on 01.02.2019. Note that Cofinimmo acquired a plot of land for the construction of this establishment in early October 20171 . This centre will have a capacity of approximately 40 beds, spread over an above-ground surface area of approximately 2,500 m². The budget for the works totalled 4 million EUR. The facility is operated by the Dutch operator Stichting Philadelphia Zorg, with whom Cofinimmo signed a double net2 lease for a term of 15 years.

- Sale of a nursing and care home in Utrecht

On 08.03.2019, the 'Keizerhof' nursing and care home, located in Utrecht, was sold for approximately 9 million EUR. This is slightly higher than the last fair value (as at 31.12.2018) determined by Cofinimmo's independent real estate valuer.

- Acquisition of a healthcare real estate site in Dokkum in the Netherlands

On 09.04.2019, Cofinimmo acquired the 'Sionsberg' healthcare real estate site in Dokkum, in the province of Friesland in the Netherlands, for an amount of approximately 8 million EUR. The site comprises two parts: the main building 'Sionskliniek', built in 1980 and originally a hospital, and the building 'Hoed', built in 2008. In 2015, the site was transformed from a hospital to a medical office building with an above-ground surface area of 15,000 m². The centre is fully occupied and offers a wide range of professional care and services: general practice, pharmacy, physiotherapy, outpatient clinic, dietician, rehabilitation care, etc.

Cofinimmo and the Stichting Vastgoed DC Dokkum signed a double net2 master lease. This will be indexed annually according to the Dutch consumer price index. The lease has a term of 15 years. The total budget for the works is estimated at less than 5 million EUR, a large part of which is planned for the coming three years. Given this investment program, the site will still provide a gross yield slightly above 7%.

- Acquisition of a healthcare real estate site in The Hague

Cofinimmo acquired, through a subsidiary, the Nebo healthcare site in The Hague (NL), built in 2004, for more than 22 million EUR. The Nebo healthcare centre is located in the stately Benoordenhout district, a wooded, residential area of the city of The Hague. It is close to the American embassy and the Clingendael institute. The Hague has more than 500,000 inhabitants and is part of the Randstad3 . The building's imposing architectural style is in line with the building style of the surrounding houses. It has an above-ground surface of almost 8,700 m² and offers approximately 115 beds. Nebo is also easily accessible by public transport.

PRESS RELEASE

Nebo offers care for disoriented elderly people and for elderly people who are physically unable to take care of themselves. The facility also has a geriatric rehabilitation programme, which aims at helping the patients to return home as soon as possible.

Cofinimmo, through its subsidiary Superstone SA/NV, has taken over the lease agreement with Saffier. This double net1 -type lease has a residual term of 10 years. It is indexed annually according to the Dutch consumer price index. The initial gross yield is 5%, which reflects the quality of the location.

Saffier supports (ageing) people in being and staying themselves, whether they still live at home or at one of the locations. At the facilities, they offer specialised care and treatment for people who can no longer live autonomously at home, for example due to chronic conditions such as heart failure, Parkinson's, dementia, Korsakov's syndrome or acquired brain injury (ABI). It is an organisation with autonomously operating teams, with the emphasis on direct care while giving the patient as much liberty to decide and choose as possible. Saffier has been providing care and accommodation for elderly people in The Hague since 1734 and currently has five sites with intensive nursing and/or rehabilitation care and five residential locations with care and support.

On 20.02.2019, Cofinimmo signed an agreement with the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), the EFTA Surveillance Authority (ESA) and the Financial Mechanism Office (FMO)1 whereby these institutions will become usufructuaries of the whole Quartz office building. The agreement will commence following delivery of the works, scheduled in the course of 2020, and has a term of 15 years.

The site, located on Avenue des Arts/Kunstlaan, in the centre of Brussels (CBD), previously included a building that was leased to the Federal Buildings Agency (Régie des Bâtiments/Regie der Gebouwen) for nearly 20 years. After the building had been vacated in January 2017, it was completely demolished to make room for a new construction that will claim a central place on the Avenue des Arts/Kunstlaan. The new project, for which an architectural competition was launched, was fully designed using Building

REGULATED INFORMATION Brussels, embargo until 25.07.2019, 5:40 PM CET

Information Modelling (BIM). Based on transparent architecture, it provides integral glass façades, with a view to the courtyard garden from Rue Joseph II/Jozef II-straat.

Quartz will offer nearly 9,200 m² of modern and modular offices and versatile surfaces, spread over eight floors. Furthermore, the floors will have an unusual clear height of three meters, allowing its users to enjoy a maximum amount of daylight. A terrace will also be set up on the roof.

Cofinimmo is aiming for BREEAM Excellent certification (already obtained for the Design phase). The building will comply not only with the 2015 energy regulations, but also with additional high demands in terms of quality and sustainability set forth by Cofinimmo for its construction, renovation and redevelopment projects. The total budget of the works is estimated at 24 million EUR.

Signing of the notarial deed regarding the sale of the Souverain/Vorst 24 office building

On 28.03.2019, Cofinimmo signed the notarial deed regarding the sale of the Souverain/Vorst 24 building, located in the Brussels decentralised zone, for a total amount of around 6 million EUR. This amount is higher than the last fair value (as at 31.12.2018) determined by Cofinimmo's independent valuer. The private agreement1 regarding the sale of this asset was signed on 21.12.2018.

Acquisition of a company that owns the Loi/Wet 85 office building

On 20.05.2019, Cofinimmo acquired 100% of the shares of the company owning the Loi/Wet 85 office building. The building is located in rue de la Loi/Wetstraat, in the heart of the European district of Brussels (CBD). The conventional value for the calculation of the share price amounts to approximately 6 million EUR. The building will be partially demolished and thoroughly renovated, which is scheduled to be delivered in 2021. The new building will offer approximately 3,200 m² of office space, spread over eight floors, and a 500 m² retail space at metro station level.

After its redevelopment, the asset will comply with high environmental quality standards. Cofinimmo targets a BREEAM 'Excellent' certificate, thanks to a low energy consumption and the implementation of two green patios. The conventional value for the calculation of the share price amounts to approximately 6 million EUR. The budget foreseen for the works amounts to a few million EUR.

Sale of the Colonel Bourg 105 building

On 24.05.2019, Cofinimmo entered into a private agreement regarding the sale of the office building Colonel Bourg 105, located in the Rue Colonel Bourgstraat, in the decentralised district of Brussels, for more than 3 million EUR. This amount is higher than the last fair value (as at 31.03.2019) determined by the independent valuer of Cofinimmo. The notary deed should be signed in September 2019 at the latest.

The building offers more than 2,600 m² of office space. It has multiple tenants and is partially vacant. As part of the projects 'Mediapark' and 'E40 Parkway' of the city of Brussels, the surroundings of the building will be redeveloped into a green, partially residential area close to the VRT tower.

Acquisition of a company with a long-term leasehold on the Ligne 13 office building

On 28.06.2019, Cofinimmo acquired 100% of the shares of the company owning a leasehold on the 'Ligne 13' office building located in the rue de Lignestraat, in the heart of Brussels (in the so called Brussels pentagon, within the CBD). The property is in the immediate vicinity of the Central Station, which concentrates all means of public transport, and therefore benefits from excellent accessibility.

Cofinimmo acquired 100% of the shares of the company owning a leasehold with a remaining term of 84 years on the office building. The conventional value for the calculation of the share price amounts to less than 16 million EUR. The gross rental yield stands at approximately 4.5% today and could reach nearly 5% in case of full occupancy.

Commercial activity

In 2019, renegotiations and new leases were signed for nearly 106,000 m² of office space in total compared to 21,000 m² recorded as at 30.06.2018. The most significant transactions concerned the buildings Bourget 40 and 42, Woluwe 151, Belliard 40 and Quartz.

1.4.7. Public-Private Partnership

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

PRESS RELEASE

Note that 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.

Signing of the contracts, which should have taken place in early 2019, are now planned for the third quarter of 2019. Construction works will start after obtaining the permits, now planned for 2021, and should take three years. The convention centre's operational phase will have a fixed duration of 20 years and will start as from delivery of the certificate of availability 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.

1.9. Management of financial resources

1.9.1. Financing operations since 01.01.2019

During the first half-year, Cofinimmo reinforced its financial resources and its balance sheet structure. The financing operations during the financial period allowed the Group to increase its available financing, to reduce the average cost of debt and to maintain its maturity.

1.9.1.1. 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 5 years with two additional one-year extensions and includes an option to increase the amount with 50 million EUR.

1.9.1.2. Extension of the commercial paper programme

In view of the success of its commercial paper programme, Cofinimmo increased the maximum amount from 650 million EUR to 800 million EUR. This increase has been in effect since 28.03.2019. Up to 786 million EUR of the programme is used at the end of June 2019

1.9.1.3. Conclusion of a new 'green & social loan'

In March 2019, Cofinimmo carried out the early refinancing of a credit line, which is due to mature in 2019, amounting to 40 million EUR. This was initially a traditional credit line, refinanced in the form of a 'green & social loan' with a term of seven and a half years. In accordance with its sustainable development strategy and performance chart, the 'green & social loan' will be used by Cofinimmo to refinance projects with both environmental and social objectives.

1.9.1.4. Interest rate hedges

Given the fall in interest rates in the first half of 2019, Cofinimmo increased its hedging portfolio over a nine-year horizon. IRS covering the years 2022 (150 million EUR), 2023 (175 million EUR), 2024 (125 million EUR), 2025 (275 million EUR), 2026 (200 million EUR), 2027 (200 million EUR) and 2028 (200 million EUR) were subscribed in order to increase the hedging over these years.

  • − 4 million EUR corresponding to the discounted value of the minimum coupon of the Mandatory Convertible Bonds issued by Cofinimur I in December 2011.

PRESS RELEASE

1.9.2.1.2. Bank facility

  • − 279 million EUR of bilateral and syndicated medium- and long-term bank loans, with an initial term of five to ten years, contracted with around 10 financial institutions;
  • − 8 million EUR in rental guarantees received.

1.9.2.2. Current financial debts (877 million EUR)

As at 30.06.2019, Cofinimmo's current financial debts amounted to 877 million EUR, of which:

1.9.2.2.1. Financial markets

− 140 million EUR for a non-convertible bond:

Cofinimmo SA 140 100% 3.598% 26.07.2012 07.02.2020

− 736 million EUR of commercial papers with a term of less than one year, of which 168 million EUR with a term of more than three months. Short-term commercial paper issued are fully backed up by unused committed long-term credit lines. Cofinimmo thus benefits from the attractive cost of such a short-term financing programme, while ensuring its refinancing in the event that the investment of new commercial paper becomes more costly or unworkable.

1.9.2.2.2. Bank facilities

− 1 million EUR of other loans.

1.9.3. Availabilities

Taking into account the extension (on 01.07.2019) of the syndicated loan, availabilities on committed credit lines reached 1,201 million EUR. After deduction of the backup of the commercial paper programme, Cofinimmo has 471 million EUR of available cash to finance its activity.

1.9.4. Consolidated debt ratios

Cofinimmo met all financial debt ratio limits on 30.06.2019. Its regulatory debt ratio (calculated in accordance with the regulations on RRECs as: Financial and other debts / Total assets) reached 42.3% (compared to 43.0% as at 31.12.2018). As a reminder, the statutory maximum debt ratio for RRECs is 65%.

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

PRESS RELEASE

1.9.5. Debt maturity

The weighted average maturity of the financial commitments remained stable, at 4 years between 31.12.2018 and 30.06.2019. 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, taking into account the refinancing of the syndicated loan on 01.07.2019 for 400 million EUR, mature on a staggered basis until 2029.

Schedule of long-term financial commitments as at 01.07.2019 (x 1,000,000 EUR)

1.9.6. Cost of debt

The average cost of debt, including bank margins stood at 1.5% for the first half of the 2019 financial year, compared to 1.9% for the 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 aimed 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). It therefore does not individually hedge floating-rate credit lines.

Brussels, embargo until 25.07.2019, 5:40 PM CET

As at 30.06.2019, 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 30.06.2019, the interest rate risk was hedged at 70% until the end of 2021. Cofinimmo's result nevertheless remains sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates.

1.9.7. 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.

1.9.8. Preference shares

Comments on the consolidated income statement - Analytical form (x 1,000 EUR)

Net rental income was 112 million EUR at 30.06.2019, compared to 103 million EUR at 30.06.2018 (+8.7%). 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 half-year of 2018) was more than compensated by rental income generated by investments in healthcare real estate in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. On a like-for-like basis*, gross rental revenues increased (+2.2%) between 30.06.2018 and 30.06.2019 (see section 1.6.5).

As for the direct operating costs, the variations between 30.06.2018 and 30.06.2019 are in line with the budget. The variation in corporate management costs over the same period is also in line with the budget. The operating margin amounts to 82.2%.

Financial income is stable at 6 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 2.6 million EUR, which are explained in detail in note 6 of the interim summary financial statements attached.

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 30.06.2018. The net interest charges are in line with the budget.

Taxes, although increased with one 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 75 million EUR as at 30.06.2019, higher than the budget, compared with 68 million EUR as at 30.06.2018. 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 3.23 EUR per share (higher than the budget, compared with 3.20 EUR as at 30.06.2018), 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 last April and June. The average number of shares entitled to the result of the period evolved from 21,308,702 to 23,094,406 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 -32 million EUR as at 30.06.2019, compared with -2 million EUR as at 30.06.2018. 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 half-year 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 non-financial assets is 3 million EUR as at 30.06.2019, compared with 28 million EUR as at 30.06.2018. 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 35 million EUR as at 30.06.2019 (5 million EUR as at 30.06.2018) : the value appreciation of healthcare real estate portfolios, as well as the positive effect of 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 (+1.0%) for the first half-year of 2019. The item 'Other result on the portfolio', is -9 million EUR as at 30.06.2019 and mainly comprises the effect of deferred taxes1 .

The net result - Group share amounted to 71 million EUR (i.e. 3.07 EUR per share) as at 30.06.2019, compared to 98 million EUR (i.e. 4.58 EUR per share) as at 30.06.2018. This fluctuation is mainly due to the changes in the fair value of hedging instruments (non-cash item) between the first half-year of 2018 and the first half-year of 2019.

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

PRESS RELEASE

Comments on the consolidated balance sheet

The investment value of the property portfolio1 , as determined by the independent real estate valuers, amounts to 4,312 million EUR as at 30.06.2019, compared with 3,890 million EUR as at 31.12.2018.

2.7. Notes to the interim summary financial statements

Note 1. General information

Cofinimmo SA/NV (the 'Company') is a public RREC (Regulated Real Estate Company) organised under Belgian law with registered offices at 1200 Brussels (boulevard de la Woluwedal 58).

Cofinimmo SA/NV's interim summary financial statements, which closed on 30.06.2019, cover the Company and its subsidiaries ('the Group'). The scope of consolidation has changed since 31.12.2018 (see Note 14).

The interim summary financial statements were closed by the Board of Directors on 25.07.2019. The statutory auditor Deloitte, Réviseurs d'Entreprises, represented by Mr Rik Neckebroeck, completed its limited audit and confirmed that it had no reservations with respect to the accounting information presented in the half-year financial report and that it corresponded to the financial statements closed by the Board of Directors.

Note 2. Significant accounting methods

The consolidated half-year financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS standards (International Financial Reporting Standards) as executed by the Belgian Royal Decree of 13.07.2014 on Regulated Real Estate Companiesand in accordance with the IAS 34 standard on Interim Financial Reporting.

The information included in the interim summary financial statements is not as comprehensive as that in the annual financial statements. Consequently, these interim summary financial statements must be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements.

The accounting principles and methods used to draw up these interim financial statements are identical to those used to prepare the annual financial statements for the 2018 financial year, with the exception of the application of the new IFRS 16 standard. Its impact on the consolidated accounts of Cofinimmo is nonetheless not material.

Some of the figures in this half-year financial report have been rounded and, consequently, the overall totals in the report may differ slightly from the exact arithmetical sums of the preceding figures.

Note 3. Operational and financial risk management

The risks to which the Group was exposed at 30.06.2019 were substantially the same as those identified and described in the 2018 Annual Financial Report. Risk was managed using the same methods and the same criteria during the half-year as during the previous financial year.
