Jean-Pierre Hanin, CEO of Cofinimmo : "Cofinimmo's results are solid despite the current health crisis context. With 231 million EUR invested over the half-year, including the delivery of several projects which contribute to our objective of reducing the energy intensity of our portfolio, Cofinimmo is still aiming at achieving the investment budget of 375 million EUR planned for 2020. Furthermore, the two capital increases of June (optional dividend and contributions in kind) totalling almost 143 million EUR and the financing operations concluded over the half-year are strengths from which Cofinimmo benefits to implement its strategy. With a debt-to-assets ratio of 41.8%, Cofinimmo's consolidated balance sheet shows a strong solvency, which is a valuable asset in the current challenging environment."

1. Interim management report

1.1. Summary of activity since 01.01.2020

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 consolidates its leadership in European healthcare real estate.

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic in the countries where the group is active, Cofinimmo has implemented several measures to ensure the continuity of its activities, while making the health and well-being of all its stakeholders its priority.

As from 09.03.2020, Cofinimmo's executive committee encouraged its employees to switch to teleworking for all tasks which do not require a physical presence on site. As teleworking is an already embedded solution, widely used by the company's employees, no particular difficulties were experienced. This measure was subsequently further strengthened, and then adapted, in order to stay compliant with the framework of the decisions taken by the authorities.

The operational teams remain in close contact with the group's tenants to ensure the continuity of services and help them get through this difficult period. Cofinimmo reviews the situation of its counterparties on a case-by-case basis in order to find a balanced solution where appropriate. In the light of the current health crisis, Cofinimmo conservatively reviewed its outlook for the net result from core activities - Group share as early as April, and confirms this outlook. In this context, in order to reflect the doubts as to the current ability of some tenants to pay their rents, and without prejudging the outcome of the discussions with these tenants, Cofinimmo has already booked writedowns on trade receivables for approximately 2 million EUR.

The lockdown measures of the 1 st half-year of 2020 have had very little impact on ongoing construction sites and investment projects. As from mid-May, Cofinimmo was able to resume the execution of its growth strategy and is, despite the current challenging context, still aiming at achieving the investment budget of 375 million EUR planned for 2020. Indeed, investments in the first half-year amount to 231 million EUR. This amount includes the delivery of several projects which contribute to the objective of reducing the energy intensity of the assets by 30% by 2030.

In healthcare real estate, the group further expanded its portfolio through several acquisitions and the delivery of several construction projects totalling 182 million EUR in the 1st half-year. The most noteworthy transaction was carried out in June with the acquisition of six healthcare sites (through contributions in kind) for 105 million EUR. As at 30.06.2020, healthcare real estate assets (2.6 billion EUR, up 7% over six months) represent 57% of the group's portfolio, which now reaches 4.5 billion EUR.

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 acquisition of Trône/Troon 100 and the provisional acceptance of the Quartz reinforce Cofinimmo's position in the CBD. In parallel, Cofinimmo carried out the assignment of the property rights relating to office buildings in the decentralised area of Brussels and also signed a sale agreement for another asset located in the periphery.

In terms of financing, several operations have further improved the balance sheet structure and the maturity timetable of the financial debt, which no longer comprises any significant maturity prior to September 2021. In addition to the capital increases totalling almost 143 million EUR (contributions in kind and optional dividend), Cofinimmo contracted new credit lines for more than 800 million EUR and extended the maturity

of its syndicated loan to 2025 (2024 before). On 01.07.2020, and after deduction of the backup of the commercial paper programme, Cofinimmo had 900 million EUR of headroom.

The Group's momentum in terms of investments and financing (average cost of debt decreased at 1.3%), coupled with effective management of the existing portfolio (occupancy rate of 97.5%, gross rental revenues up 1.6% on a like-for-like basis, operating margin increased to 83.1%), enabled the company to realise a net result from core activities - Group share of 88 million EUR as at 30.06.2020, in line with the outlook announced last April1 (compared to the 75 million EUR that were made as at 30.06.2019), mainly due to scope variations arising from the acquisitions made and the decrease in operating costs related to the office buildings sold. This result includes the support (announced last April) of initiatives aiming at fighting against the coronavirus pandemic and its effects in the healthcare sector, and more particularly in nursing and care homes as well as hospitals. The net result from core activities per share - Group share amounts to 3.40 EUR (in line with the outlook, compared to 3.23 EUR as at 30.06.2019), taking into account the issue of shares in 2019 and June 2020.

The net result - Group share amounted to 60 million EUR (i.e. 2.31 EUR per share) as at 30.06.2020, compared to 71 million EUR (i.e. 3.07 EUR per share) as at 30.06.2019. This variation is mainly due to the increase in the net result from core activities - Group share and to value adjustments (investment properties, hedging instruments, goodwill, i.e. non-cash changes) between the 1 st half-year of 2019 and the 1 st half-year of 2020.

With a debt-to-assets ratio of 41.8% as at 30.06.2020 (which has changed little since) Cofinimmo's consolidated balance sheet (whose BBB/A-2 rating was confirmed on 20.04.2020) shows a strong solvency, which is a valuable asset when addressing the current crisis (information on risks and uncertainties related to the coronavirus COVID-19 are stated in section 1.13).

1.4. Major events occurring during the 1 st half-year of 2020

1.4.1. Healthcare real estate in Belgium

  • Investments in the 1 st half-year of 2020: 107 million EUR
  • Investments in the 2 nd quarter of 2020: 107 million EUR
  • Healthcare real estate portfolio in Belgium at 30.06.2020: 1,326 million EUR (78 sites)

Cofinimmo's healthcare real estate portfolio in Belgium has a fair value of 1.3 billion EUR. During the 1 st halfyear of 2020, Cofinimmo invested 107 million EUR in it.

Main accomplishments:

- Acquisition of six healthcare sites through contributions in kind

On 10.06.2020, Cofinimmo signed an agreement regarding the acquisition of six healthcare sites in Belgium through contributions in kind of the shares of six companies. The conventional value of the assets for the calculation of the share price was established at approximately 105 million EUR, whereas the value of the contributions in kind amounted to 98,520,698.88 EUR. Within this framework, 825,408 new shares were issued (see section 1.9.1.2 below).

Nursing and care home Puthof – Borgloon (BE) Nursing and care home Keiheuvel – Balen (BE)

Together, the sites offer a total above-ground surface area of more than 38,000 m² and a capacity of 562 beds. They are spread across Flanders. The buildings in this portfolio have a good average energy intensity. They were built using modern and sustainable materials. Most of the buildings are equipped with photovoltaic panels and innovations to increase the residents' comfort: high-efficiency glazing, an advanced double-flow ventilation system for air supply and extraction (D ventilation system), rainwater recovery, LED lighting, roof insulation and water softeners are just a few of the features that contribute to limiting the carbon footprint of these buildings. In addition, the installation of additional photovoltaic panels on some sites is currently being considered, which could further reduce energy consumption. All assets are easily accessible by public transport and are located in green areas or have a garden.

Cofinimmo welcomes the new operator 'Orelia Zorg SA/NV'. This group specialises in elderly care and has more than 40 years of experience both in the construction and the operation of nursing and care homes. In order to increase the residents' and employees' comfort, an optimum architecture is considered from the concept phase onwards. 'Orelia Zorg SA/NV' continuously invests in enriching its knowledge about care and supporting techniques, which creates space for healthcare innovation. It employs more than 500 people. Almost 900 residents receive premium care in 11 nursing and care homes and assisted living clusters.

REGULATED INFORMATION Brussels, embargo until 30.07.2020, 5:40 PM CET

For all six assets, triple net 1 agreements with a term of 27 years were concluded with the operator mentioned above. The rents are indexed based on the Belgian consumer price index. The gross rental yield is approximately 4.5%, which is in line with the current market conditions and the quality of the sites.

1.4.2. Healthcare real estate in France

  • Investments in the 1 st half-year of 2020: 26 million EUR
  • Investments in the 2 nd quarter of 2020: 26 million EUR
  • Healthcare real estate portfolio in France at 30.06.2020: 398 million EUR (49 sites)

In France, Cofinimmo holds investment properties in healthcare real estate for a fair value of 398 million EUR, and finance lease receivables for 21 million EUR. During the 1 st half-year of 2020, Cofinimmo invested 26 million EUR in it.

Main accomplishments:

- Repurchase of the shares held by the Orpea group in Cofinea I

On 05.06.2020, Cofinimmo repurchased Orpea's participation in the joint venture Cofinea I SAS for a total amount of almost 8 million EUR. In accordance with Article 37 § 1 of the Law of 12.05.2014 on regulated real estate companies, the operation has previously been brought to the attention of the FSMA. Cofinimmo now holds 100% of the capital of this French subsidiary, which owns an investment property valued at approximately 24 million EUR to which an investment loan of 9 million EUR is attached.

As a reminder, the Orpea group and the Cofinimmo group acquired in 2012, through their joint venture Cofinea I SAS, the nursing and care home 'Les Musiciens' located in the 19th arrondissement of Paris2 . Cofinea I is a company under French law in which Cofinimmo held 51% of the capital and the Orpea group the remaining 49%.

1.4.3. Healthcare real estate in the Netherlands

  • Investments in the 1 st half-year of 2020: 10 million EUR
  • Investments in the 2 nd quarter of 2020: 7 million EUR
  • Healthcare real estate portfolio in the Netherlands at 30.06.2020: 301 million EUR (41 sites)

Cofinimmo's healthcare real estate portfolio in the Netherlands has a fair value of 301 million EUR. During the 1 st half-year of 2020, Cofinimmo invested 10 million EUR in it.

Main accomplishments:

  • Delivery of the extension of an orthopaedic clinic in Rijswijk

The extension of an orthopaedic clinic in the city of Rijswijk, located between Delft and The Hague, was delivered on 13.02.2020. As a reminder, mid-October 2018, Cofinimmo acquired a plot of land for this asset1 . The building offers accommodations and consultation rooms, spread over a total above-ground surface area of almost 4,000 m², and provides approximately 130 parking spaces on the ground floor. The budget of the works amounted to approximately 11 million EUR (plot included). The site is operated by Bergman Clinics, with whom Cofinimmo signed a triple net 2 lease for 15 years. The gross rental yield amounts to more than 6%.

Fixtures have been installed to reduce the building's energy consumption; 162 photovoltaic panels have been installed on the roof and the building is lit exclusively by LED lamps, which are more energy efficient.

- Acquisition of a nursing and care home in The Hague

On 14.05.2020, Cofinimmo acquired, through one of its subsidiaries, a nursing and care home located in The Hague for approximately 14 million EUR. This amount comprises the value of the current building as well as the budget for the works to be carried out.

The building acquired is a former nursing and care home with an above-ground surface area of approximately 5,100 m2 which dates back to 1986 and is located in a residential area of The Hague, the capital of the South-Holland province where the Dutch government and parliament are also based. The nursing and care home is easily accessible by public transport from the nearby Central Station.

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

REGULATED INFORMATION Brussels, embargo until 30.07.2020, 5:40 PM CET

Cofinimmo chose to have the site completely renovated, including a small extension at the back of the building. This allows certain building materials to be reused and raw materials to be used more rationally, resulting in a significantly lower environmental impact than that of new constructions. The works will provide a modern and sustainable nursing and care home of almost 5,400 m² with 87 beds for persons who need substantial care. A restaurant is foreseen in the building which will also be accessible to visitors.

Modern techniques and sustainable materials will contribute to the limited carbon footprint of the building. New high-efficiency glazing, energy-efficient installations such as heat pumps and LED lighting, a renovated roof with insulation and solar panels will also contribute to the building being awarded an energy label A (vs. a level D before).

In order to carry out these renovation works, Cofinimmo has concluded a turnkey construction contract with 'Formabouw B.V'. The works (for which a budget of approximately 10 million EUR is foreseen) will start soon and their delivery is forecasted in September 2021.

On-site treatments will be offered to patients/residents with moderate to high healthcare needs. The renovation is designed with a long-term view in order to offer rooms for heavier treatments and to enable patients/residents to stay in the facilities regardless of their healthcare needs. They will be treated by a multidisciplinary healthcare team led by a specialist in geriatrics.

The building is already entirely pre-let to the 'Stichting Haagse Wijk- en Woonzorg' ('HWW zorg') foundation. The double net1 lease contract of 15 years will start at the delivery of the works. The rent will be indexed according the Dutch consumer price index. The gross rental yield is higher than 5.5%.

'HWW zorg' has 11 sites (nursing and care homes) spread all over The Hague. Some of these locations are also the operational base for part of the community healthcare teams.

'HWW zorg' is a community-based healthcare organisation, close to the patient/residents. A team that is familiar with the environment offers tailor-made care, starting from the patient/resident's wishes and expectations. 'HWW zorg' wants everyone to live the life that suits him/her best, either at home or in a nursing and care home.

1 The owner primarily bears the maintenance costs of the roof and the structure of the building.

The construction works of a psychiatric clinic in Kaarst, a city ideally located 15 km from Düsseldorf and 45 km from Cologne, in the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, have been completed. The conditions (primarily administrative) precedent to the acquisition of this asset have been lifted and the asset was integrated into Cofinimmo's perimeter on 10.04.2020.

As a reminder, mid-October 2018, Cofinimmo signed an agreement relating to the acquisition of this asset under construction 1 . The clinic, which specialises in treating and supporting patients suffering from depression or burnout, will cover an above-ground surface area of approximately 8,000 m² and will have approximately 70 beds, as well as 20 places in day clinic. The investment amounted to approximately 22 million EUR.

From a technical point of view, the complex is built according to ambitious environmental requirements. The brick-clad masonry building is fitted with PVC frames and also has a green roof. It is part of a green, tree-lined exterior landscaping plan. Heat is produced by gas condensing boilers in combination with a combined heat and power unit. All electrical installations meet German energy efficiency requirements according to VDE standards. The final energy intensity is estimated at 116 kWh/m²/year, which is 48% less than the current benchmark for this type of building in Germany.

The clinic is operated by the Oberberg group. This group, which has an excellent reputation in healthcare and manages nine clinics on eight sites spread throughout Germany. These sites are dedicated to the treatment of people with psychiatric disorders such as depression, dependencies, burnout, as well as anxiety and panic disorders. The psychiatric clinic in Kaarst will be the first asset in Cofinimmo's portfolio operated by the Oberberg group.

The lease contract will be of the 'Dach und Fach'2 type for a fixed term of 20 years. The rent will be indexed based on the German consumer price index. The gross rental yield is higher than 6%.

A new 'Dach und Fach'1 lease contract has been signed for a fixed term of 23 years. The rent will be indexed on the basis of the German consumer price index. The gross rental yield is higher than 5%.

The site is operated by Alloheim. With 223 nursing and care homes, more than 77 assisted-living residences and more than 20,000 staff members, this operator is one of the three largest players in Germany and an existing partner of Cofinimmo. A collaboration that started in 2018 with the acquisition by Cofinimmo of the nursing and care home in Niebüll.

Alloheim offers high-quality care services for different age groups and assisted living for senior citizens. They have an outstanding level of nursing competence which, in addition to intramuros and mobile nursing for the elderly, also includes extensive offers in special nursing.

The group is one of the pioneers in the healthcare sector in Germany. The first Alloheim residence in Bad Marienberg was founded in 1973. Since then, Alloheim has grown continuously - by building its own residences or by taking over existing houses that meet their quality and service requirements.

1.4.8. Public-Private Partnership

The NEO II project in Brussels

As a reminder (see press release dated 28.04.2020):

  • 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, on the Heysel plateau (north of Brussels, next to the Atomium).
  • Taking into account that the consortium's offer expired mid-December 2019 and that the project's co-contractors requested early 2020 that negotiations be postponed until September 2020, the signature of the contracts, which was expected to take place early 2019, could take place at the earliest at the end of 2020. The construction works, if applicable, could start after obtaining the permits, at the earliest in 2022 and should last three years. The convention centre's operational phase will have a fixed duration of 20 years and should start as soon as the certificate of availability has been delivered at the end of the construction works.

In addition to its innovative architecture, the Quartz meets the highest requirements in terms of quality and sustainability. The building has already been granted a BREEAM 'Excellent' certificate for its design phase. A certificate Cofinimmo also intends to obtain for the building in use, thanks in particular to the triple-glazed windows, the high-performance heating and ventilation system, the ultra-efficient lighting concept with light detection and the fully flexible building management system.

The new Quartz office building is now home of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), the EFTA Surveillance Authority (ESA) and the Financial Mechanism Office (FMO). Occupancy took place on 01.07.2020. The usufruct, which has a duration of 15 years, will start on 01.01.2021.

1.9. Management of financial resources

During the 1 st half-year of 2020, Cofinimmo reinforced its financial resources and its balance sheet structure. The financing operations during this 1 st half-year enabled the Group to improve the maturity timetable of its financial debts, to considerably increase available bank financing, to maintain an average cost of debt at particularly low levels and to maintain its maturity. The various operations carried out are stated hereunder.

1.9.1. Capital increases since 01.01.2020

During the 1st half-year of the 2020 financial year, Cofinimmo proceeded to two capital increases (optional dividend and contributions in kind) totalling approximately 143 million EUR.

1.9.1.1. Optional dividend

The ordinary general meeting of 13.05.2020 had decided to distribute for the 2019 financial year a gross dividend of 5.60 EUR per share (or a net dividend of 3.92 EUR per share).

The board of directors decided to offer shareholders the choice between receiving the dividend payment for the year 2019 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 113.68 EUR. The new shares will be entitled to Cofinimmo's results as from 01.01.2020 (first dividend payable in 2021).

Shareholders were invited to communicate their choice between the different payment modalities between 20.05.2020 and 05.06.2020.

A total of 43.5% of the 2019 dividend coupons were contributed to the capital against new shares. This resulted in the issue of 387,226 new shares for a total amount of 44.0 million EUR. The subscription price of 113.68 EUR per new share was 7.4% below the volume-weighted average stock market price of the share during the subscription period (122.74 EUR).

The remaining dividend pay-out was settled in cash for a net total amount of 57.2 million EUR (amount from which the withholding taxes on dividends relating to reinvested and non-reinvested coupons has been deducted). The payment in cash and/or the delivery of securities was made as from 09.06.2020. The effective day of listing of the new shares was 11.06.2020.

As a result, Cofinimmo's share capital was represented by 26,236,509 shares.

Funds not paid in cash will be used by the company to finance property acquisitions and renovation projects.

1.9.1.2. Contributions in kind followed by a private placement

On 10.06.2020, Cofinimmo signed an agreement regarding the acquisition of six healthcare sites in Belgium through contributions in kind of the shares of six companies (see section 1.4.1. of this report). The conventional value of the assets for the calculation of the share price amounted to approximately 105 million EUR, whereas the contributions in kind amounted to 98,520,698.88 EUR. Within this framework, 825,408 new shares were issued.

Part of the new shares were offered on the same day within the framework of a private placement with institutional investors. Trading in Cofinimmo shares on the regulated Euronext Brussels market was temporarily suspended due to this private placement.

REGULATED INFORMATION Brussels, embargo until 30.07.2020, 5:40 PM CET

This private placement was successfully concluded. 526,000 shares were placed with institutional investors at a price of 121.00 EUR, which represents a discount of 3.8% compared to the closing price of the previous day. The trading in the Cofinimmo resumed on the next day.

Following this transaction, Cofinimmo's capital was represented by 27,061,917 shares.

The other Belgian issuers being a Belgian banking group, the Belgian State, the Walloon Region and a Belgian wastewater treatment company.

  • − 2 million EUR for unmatured accrued interest on bond issues;

These convertible bonds are valued at market value on the balance sheet.

  • − 69 million EUR of long-term commercial paper;
  • − 3 million EUR mainly corresponding to the discounted value of the minimum coupon of the Mandatory Convertible Bonds issued by Cofinimur I in December 2011.

1.9.3.1.2. Bank facility

  • − 420 million EUR of committed bilateral and syndicated loans, with an initial term of five to ten years, contracted with approximately ten financial institutions;
  • − 9 million EUR in rental guarantees received.

1.9.3.2. Current financial debts (811 million EUR)

As at 30.06.2020, Cofinimmo's current financial debts amounted to 811 million EUR, of which:

1.9.3.2.1. Financial markets

  • − 789 million EUR of commercial papers with a term of less than one year, of which 244 million EUR with a term of more than three 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.

1.9.3.2.2. Bank facilities

− 12 million EUR of other loans.

1.9.4. Consolidated debt-to-assets ratio

As at 30.06.2020, Cofinimmo met the consolidated and statutory debt-to-assets ratio test. Its consolidated debt-to-assets ratio (calculated in accordance with the regulations on RRECs as follows: financial and other debts / total assets) reached 41.8% (compared to 41.0% as at 31.12.2019). As a reminder, the maximum debtto-assets ratio for RRECs is 65%.

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

1.9.5. Weighted average maturity of financial debts

The weighted average maturity of the financial debts remained stable at four years between 31.12.2019 and 30.06.2020. This calculation excludes short-term commercial paper maturities, which are fully hedged by tranches available on committed long-term credit lines.

Committed long-term credit lines (bank credit lines, bonds, commercial paper with a term of more than one year and term loans), for which the total outstanding amount is 2,211 million EUR as at 30.06.2020, mature on a staggered basis until 2029.

Schedule of long-term financial commitments as at 30.06.2020 (x 1,000,000 EUR)

1.9.6. Average cost of debt

The average cost of debt, including bank margins, stood at 1.3% for the 1 st half-year of the 2020 financial year, compared to 1.4% to the 2019 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 many floating-rate credit lines.

The breakdown of expected fixed-rate debt, hedged floating-rate debt and unhedged floating-rate debt is presented as shown in the graph below.

PRESS RELEASE

To date, the interest rate risk is hedged at more than 60% until the end of 2024. The projected debt is hedged at nearly 90% for the rest of 2020. Cofinimmo's result nevertheless remains sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates.

1.9.7. Availabilities

Taking into account the conclusion of a new credit line of 500 million EUR made on 01.07.2020, availabilities on committed credit lines reached 1,678 million EUR. After deduction of the backup of the commercial paper programme, Cofinimmo had 889 million EUR of available lines to finance its activity.

1.9.8. Financial rating

Since 2001, Cofinimmo has been granted a long- and short-term financial rating from the Standard & Poor's rating agency. On 20.04.2020, Standard & Poor's confirmed the Cofinimmo Group's BBB/stable outlook rating for the long term and A-2 for the short term. The Group's liquidity has been rated 'adequate'.

1.9.9. Disposal of own shares

In accordance with article 8:6 of Royal Decree of 29.04.2019 executing the Companies and Associations Code, Cofinimmo announced the disposal, on 25.06.2020, of 1,257 own shares on Euronext Brussels at an average price of 123.66 EUR per share. This disposal transaction was carried out by Gestone III SA/NV, a direct subsidiary of Cofinimmo. The shares sold are the result of the conversion into ordinary shares of the 1,257 preference I shares acquired by Gestone III SA/NV on 12.07.2019 in the absence of conversion requests1 . For now Gestone III SA/NV does not plan to proceed with any further disposals of Cofinimmo shares.

1.11.Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

1.11.1. Initiatives adopted in response to coronavirus COVID-19

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic in the countries where the group is active, Cofinimmo has implemented several measures to ensure the continuity of its activities, while making the health and well-being of all its stakeholders its priority.

The measures taken with regard to teleworking (without recourse to temporary unemployment) were successful. A generalised teleworking system has been implemented without any problems from March until June 2020.

A co-operation with tenants has also been put in place to help them get through this difficult period. This requires an analysis of the specific situation of each tenant on a case-by-case basis.

In addition to the above-mentioned initiatives, Cofinimmo has defined a programme of targeted savings. Part of these savings enabled to feed the common fund-raising platform set up for the benefit of five academic hospitals that are on the front line in the fight against the coronavirus (operation #clapandact). The five hospitals (Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc UCL Bruxelles, UZ Brussel, CHU de Liège, UZ Antwerpen, Hôpital Erasme ULB) each received a donation.

Another aspect of the savings plan stems from the desire for solidarity unanimously expressed by the governance bodies of Cofinimmo (board of directors and executive committee). This solidarity is expressed by a reduction in the monthly remuneration of the members of the executive committee and by a reduction in the remuneration (mandate and attendance fees) of the directors. This 15% reduction has been implemented in April and will remain applicable until the end of the year. In addition, no attendance fees for board meetings dedicated to the management of the health crisis (such as that of the last board meeting that deliberated on this subject) are paid to directors.

The amount thus collected is doubled by Cofinimmo and allocated to one or more initiatives aiming at fighting against this pandemic and its effects. Hence, Cofinimmo intends to finance the Dr. Daniël De Coninck Fund, supported by the King Baudouin Foundation, which supports initiatives that assist the management and staff of nursing and care homes in Belgium. These initiatives may aim at supporting management during the crisis, the psychological well-being of the staff, the quality of care, the communication of the management towards the staff and the families, or the implementation of medical and ethical guidelines related to the crisis.

REGULATED INFORMATION Brussels, embargo until 30.07.2020, 5:40 PM CET

Other initiatives have been identified in France (through 'Fondation de France') and the Netherlands (through 'Oranje Fonds'), here again in the healthcare sector, and more particularly in nursing and care homes as well as hospitals.

The totality of the donations represents an envelope of 500,000 EUR.

1.11.2. Sustainable portfolio and internal organisation

As stated in the 2019 sustainability report, Cofinimmo has a clear vision and clear objectives when it comes to CO2 reduction. This strategic thinking led to the ambitious project of reducing the energy intensity of the company's portfolio by 30% by 2030 compared to the 2017 level (project 303 ).

The actions carried out within this framework include, among others, the installation of remote meters in the healthcare real estate portfolio.

Internally, Cofinimmo also introduces innovative measures to encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation, in particular the use of less polluting vehicles and the promotion of cycling and public transport. The mobility policy already included a mobility budget for employees benefiting from a company car. At the end of June, this mobility approach was extended to all employees in Belgium. For company cars, Cofinimmo is focusing on green mobility and more specifically on 'PHEV' cars (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle). The aim is to reduce CO2 emissions linked to commuting, to take advantage of the Brussels public transport network and to create a real cyclists community within the Cofinimmo Group.

1.11.3. Sustainable financing

In accordance with its sustainability strategy, Cofinimmo intends to pursue a 'Green & Social' financing policy. This was launched in 2016 with the first issue of 'Green & Social Bonds' and extended in 2019 with a first 'Green & Social Loan', quickly followed by a second 'Green & Social Loan' in May 2020. The proceeds have been directly fully allocated to various green and social assets. The list of selected assets for each of the above-mentioned financing is available in the 2019 Sustainability Report.

In May 2020, Cofinimmo reviewed its sustainable financing framework in order to incorporate the latest trends in the specific financing of sustainable assets, projects and activities which contribute to its sustainability strategy. Vigeo Eiris confirmed in its Second Party Opinion that this financing framework was in line with the 2018 'Green Bond Principles', 'Social Bond Principles' and 'Green Loan Principles'. Under this framework, Cofinimmo can issue a variety of sustainable financing instruments, including bonds, convertible bonds, private placements and (syndicated) banking loan facilities.

The 'Green & Social Bonds' are 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. The other Belgian issuers being a Belgian banking group, the Belgian State, the Walloon Region and a Belgian wastewater treatment company.

  • Cofinimmo will participate for the tenth time in the GRESB benchmark (The ESG1 Benchmark for Real Assets). Given its overall score of 70% in 2019, Cofinimmo is part of the 'Green Star' category. This score has been steadily growing since 2014, where it amounted to 45%;
  • The group is currently engaged in a proactive dialogue on the MSCI ESG Ratings2 , for which the updated scores are not available yet;
  • To date, four renovated or constructed sites have obtained 'Good' or 'Excellent' BREEAM certifications. These include the emblematic Quartz office building, whose provisional acceptance took place on 23.06.2020.

1.12.3. Extraordinary general meeting of 28.07.2020

On 26.06.2020, a general extraordinary meeting was called for 28.07.2020 (see press release dated 26.06.2020). Since the required quorum was not achieved at this meeting, a second general meeting will be called on 07.08.2020 to convene on 25.08.2020 in order to deliberate on the same agenda, regardless of the number of shareholders present or represented (see press release dated 24.07.2020). The following topics are on the agenda:

  • Renewal of the authorization concerning the authorized capital;
  • Reduction of a part of the blocked account 'issue premium' by transfer on a unblocked account 'issue premium';
  • Insertion of the possibility for shareholders to participate remotely in the general meeting via electronic means of communication;
  • Powers of attorney.

Taking into account the current circumstances and the measures in force relating to COVID-19, Cofinimmo recalls that each shareholder can be represented by a proxy holder, who can be a proxy holder for the company, or can vote by correspondence.

1.13. Main risks and uncertainties

The board of directors believes that the main risk factors summarised on pages 2 to 5 of the 2019 universal registration document - annual financial report published on 09.04.2020 are still relevant for the remaining months of the 2020 financial year.

In addition to the information included in the 2019 annual financial report, and as already mentioned in the press releases dated 09.04.2020 and 28.04.2020), it is specified that:

  • in the office segment, the surface areas rented directly to merchants (retailers, restaurants, ...) only account for approximately 0.2% of the Group's contractual rents;
  • in the healthcare real estate segment, the wellness & sport centres account for less than 3% of the Group's contractual rents. These centres, located in Belgium and Germany, have been closed to the public since

PRESS RELEASE

March and are only (partially) open again since the end of May/beginning of June. The operators' loss of income was significant during this period, and a return to normal is happening gradually and in line with the measures taken to address the health crisis.

Taking into account the current status of investment files, and the evolution of the current crisis, the investment and divestment budget for 2020 published on 13.02.2020 (and detailed in the 2019 annual financial report – see also section 1.8 above) remains the Group's objective.

Based on the information currently available, and the evolution of the current crisis, the level of net result from core activities - Group share budgeted for 2020, should only be affected to a limited extent by the current situation in Europe (as announced in the press releases of 09.04.2020 and 28.04.2020); it is expected to be within the range of 6.60 to 6.85 EUR/share (compared to 7.10 EUR/share estimated on 13.02.2020). Based on this outlook, the budgeted gross dividend for the financial year 2020, payable in 2021, can be confirmed at EUR 5.80 per share.

Besides, in accordance with the Valuation Practice Alert of 02.04.2020 published by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors ('RICS'), the independent real estate valuers' report mentions that it has been prepared taking into account a 'material valuation uncertainty', as defined by the RICS standards.

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

Rents (gross rental income) amount to 126 million EUR, compared to 114 million EUR as at 30.06.2019, up 10.6%, thanks to the acquisitions made between these two dates. On a like-for-like basis*, gross rental income increased by 1.6% between 30.06.2019 and 30.06.2020 (see section 1.6.5). Rental income (after gratuities, concessions and termination indemnities - see note 5 of the attached consolidated interim financial statements) amounts to 123 million EUR, compared to 111 million EUR as at 30.06.2019, up 10% compared to 2019. In order to reflect the doubts as to the current ability of some tenants to pay their rents, and without prejudging the outcome of the discussions with these tenants, Cofinimmo has already booked writedowns (taken into account in the result outlook announced last April1 ) of around 2 million EUR over the 1 st half-year. After taking these into account, rental income, net of rental charges, amounts to 121 million EUR, compared to EUR 112 million, up 8%, in line with the outlook announced last April.

The disposal of the Souverain/Vorst 23/25 at the end of 2019 resulted in a decrease in unrecovered taxes on buildings under renovation of almost 4 million EUR, in line with the outlook.

Refurbishment costs, net of tenant compensation for damages, are down by more than one million EUR, and are in line 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 the 1st half-year comes from the recovery of compensations for damages.

Technical costs are also down by almost one million EUR. By nature, these costs are exposed on a non-regular basis over the financial year or from one financial year to the next. They are in line with the outlook.

The variation in corporate management costs between the 1st half-year of 2019 and the 1st half-year of 2020 is also in line with outlook. The corporate management costs of the 1st half-year of 2020 include the support (500,000 EUR) announced last April of initiatives aiming at fighting against the coronavirus pandemic and its effects in the healthcare sector, and more particularly in nursing and care homes as well as hospitals. The operating margin increases to 83.1%, compared to 82.2% as at 30.06.2019.

As a reminder, in application of IFRIC 21, taxes for which the triggering event has already occurred are recognised as at January 1st for the entire year. This is notably the case for withholding taxes, regional taxes and municipal taxes on office spaces.

Financial income decreased at 5 million EUR; last year's figure included non-recurring items for less than 3 million EUR, whereas the 2020 financial income includes non-recurring items for one million EUR booked

PRESS RELEASE

in the 1 st half-year, and linked to the contributions in kind of 10.06.2020 (see note 6 of the interim summary financial statements attached).

The net interest charges decreased compared with last year, particularly thanks to the average cost of debt which decreased to 1.3%, compared to 1.5% as at 30.06.2019. The net interest charges 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 88 million EUR as at 30.06.2020, in line with the outlook (compared to 75 million EUR that were made as at 30.06.2019), mainly due to scope variations of acquisitions made and the decrease in operating costs related to the office buildings sold,. The net result from core activities - Group share amounts to 3.40 EUR per share (in line with the outlook, compared to 3.23 EUR as at 30.06.2019), and takes into account the issues of shares in 2019 and in June 2020. The average number of shares entitled to the result of the period evolved from 23,094,406 to 25,934,821 between these two dates.

As for the result of financial instruments, the item 'change in the fair value of financial instruments' amounted to -19 million EUR as at 30.06.2020, compared to -32 million EUR as at 30.06.2019. This variation is explained by the change in the forward 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 stable at 3 million EUR. The item 'Changes in the fair value of investment properties' is 8 million EUR as at 30.06.2020 (35 million EUR as at 30.06.2019): the value appreciation of the healthcare real estate portfolios in Belgium and the Netherlands as well as that of office buildings located in the Central Business District of Brussels (CBD), 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 (+0.2%) for the first six months of 2020. The item 'Other result on the portfolio', is -25 million EUR as at 30.06.2020 and mainly comprises the effect of changes in the scope of consolidation, that of deferred taxes1 and an impairment on goodwill (usually recorded, where applicable, at the end of the financial year rather than in the 1st half-year).

The net result - Group share amounted to 60 million EUR (i.e. 2.31 EUR per share) as at 30.06.2020, compared to 71 million EUR (i.e. 3.07 EUR per share) as at 30.06.2019. This fluctuation is mainly due to the increase of the net result – Group share and the changes in the value (investment properties, hedging instruments, goodwill, i.e. non-cash variations) between the 1st half-year of 2019 and the 1st half-year of 2020.

Comments on the consolidated balance sheet

The investment value of the property portfolio1 , as determined by the independent real estate valuers, amounts to 4,648 million EUR as at 30.06.2020, compared to 4,428 million EUR as at 31.12.2019. The fair value, included in the consolidated balance sheet, in application of the IAS 40 standard, is obtained by deducting the transaction costs from the investment value. At 30.06.2020, fair value reached 4,460 million EUR, compared to 4,247 million EUR as at 31.12.2019, up 5%.

The level of trade receivables as at 30.06.2020 is comparable to that as at 31.12.2019. Despite the outbreak of the coronavirus COVID-19, the proportion of rents related to the 2nd quarter and actually collected as at 28.07.2020 (taking into account the writedowns recorded) is similar to the proportion collected as at 28.07.2019.

The item 'Participations in associated companies and joint ventures' refers to Cofinimmo's 51% stake in the joint ventures BPG CONGRES SA/NV and BPG HOTEL SA/NV. As at 31.12.2019, it also included Cofinimmo's 51% stake in Cofinea I SAS (nursing and care homes in France). The item 'Minority interests' includes the Mandatory Convertible Bonds issued by the Cofinimur I SA subsidiary (MAAF/GMF distribution network in France), and the minority interests of five subsidiaries.

PRESS RELEASE

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 30.06.2020, cover the Company and its subsidiaries ('the Group'). The scope of consolidation has changed since 31.12.2019 (see Note 14).

The interim summary financial statements were closed by the board of directors on 30.07.2020. The statutory auditor Deloitte, Réviseurs d'Entreprises/Bedrijfsrevisoren, 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 Companies and 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 2019 financial year.

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.

The preparation of the financial statements requires the company to make significant judgments that affect the application of accounting methods and to proceed to a certain number of estimations. These assumptions are based on the management's experience, on the assistance of third parties (independent real estate valuers) and on various other sources that are believed to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimations. The estimations and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and adapted accordingly. As part of the preparation of these consolidated financial statements as at 30.06.2020, the following items are specified in connection with the consideration of the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic:

  • As far as investment properties are concerned: in accordance with the Valuation Practice Alert of 02.04.2020 published by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors ('RICS'), the independent real estate valuers' report mentions that it has been prepared taking into account a 'material valuation uncertainty', as defined by the RICS standards. Notwithstanding, as required by Article 47 of the Law of 12.05.2014 relating to Regulated Real Estate Companies, the independent real estate valuers assess the fair value of the properties. These assessments bind the regulated real estate company when establishing its statutory accounts and its consolidated accounts.
  • As far as finance lease receivables are concerned: the Group considers that there is no need to modify the assessment parameters with respect to what is mentioned in note 26 of the consolidated financial statements as at 31.12.2019, given the quality of the tenants and the low credit risk associated with financial lease contracts.

REGULATED INFORMATION Brussels, embargo until 30.07.2020, 5:40 PM CET

  • As far as trade receivables are concerned: the Group has recognised writedowns for a total of 1.9 million EUR as at 30.06.2020, compared to writebacks on impairment of 0.7 million EUR as at 30.06.2019. The Group considers that the book value of the trade receivables approximates their fair value. For the surplus, the Group considers that there is no need to modify the assessment parameters with respect to what is mentioned in note 28 of the consolidated financial statements as at 31.12.2019, given the quality of the tenants and the low credit risk associated with trade receivables net of writedowns.

Note 3. Operational and financial risk management

The risks to which the Group was exposed at 30.06.2020 were substantially the same as those identified and described in the 2019 annual financial report. Risk was managed using the same methods and the same criteria during the half-year as during the previous financial year.

Aspects related to the COVID-19 coronavirus are mentioned in the section 'Main risks and uncertainties' in section 1.13 of the management report.

At the end of 1st half-year of the 2020 financial year, the goodwill was subject to an impairment test (executed on the groups of properties to which it was allocated per country), by comparing the fair value of the properties plus the goodwill to their value in use, according to the same principles as those set out in Note 21 above.

PRESS RELEASE

For the 1st half-year of the 2020 financial year, the result of this test (illustrated in the table above) leads to an impairment of 5,520 KEUR on the goodwill of Pubstone Belgium and an impairment of 4,600 KEUR on the goodwill of Pubstone Netherlands. During the 2020 financial year, the fair value of the Pubstone Belgium portfolio recorded a negative variation of 166 KEUR, whereas the Pubstone Netherlands portfolio recorded a positive variation of 179 KEUR respectively.

ASSUMPTIONS USED IN THE CALCULATION OF THE VALUE IN USE OF PUBSTONE

A projection of future net cash flows was prepared according to the same methodology as that set out in Note 21 above.

The sale price of the properties at the end of the lease and the residual value are based on the average value of the portfolio per square metre assessed by the valuer at 30.06.2020 indexed to 1.0% (2019: 1.2%) per year.

The indexation considered on these cash flows stands at 1.0% for Pubstone Belgium and 1.0% for Pubstone Netherlands. In 2019, the indexation was 1.4% for Pubstone Belgium and 1.4% for Pubstone Netherlands.

The discount rate used amounts to 5.02% (2019: 5.14%).

In accordance with Article 37 § 1 of the Law of 12 May 2014 on regulated real estate companies (the 'RREC Law'), COFINIMMO has informed the FSMA (Financial Services and Markets Authority) that itself, on the one hand, and AMUNDI IMMOBILIER NOVATION SANTE and ORPEA, on the other hand, hereinafter referred to as 'the Parties', have agreed to carry out certain transactions in reference with COFINEA I on 5 June 2020.

  • COFINIMMO holds 51% of the shares of COFINEA I
  • AMUNDI IMMOBILIER NOVATION SANTE holds 49% of the remaining shares.
  • ORPEA indirectly holds 100% of the shares of AMUNDI IMMOBILIER NOVATION SANTE
  • COFINEA I owns the nursing and care home 'Les Musiciens' located Rue Germaine Tailleferre 7-9, 75019 Paris.
