PRESS RELEASE

1. Summary of activity since 01.01.2023

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

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

During the 1 st quarter, Cofinimmo made several investments (for 115 million EUR), in line with the outlook1 , in various healthcare real estate sub-segments in Europe. Thanks to these operations, healthcare real estate assets (4.5 billion EUR) account for 72% of the group's consolidated portfolio as at 31.03.2023, which reaches 6.3 billion EUR.

Cofinimmo constantly evaluates its assets portfolio based on the key points of its strategy and the available market opportunities. In this context, the group carried out disposals for 54 million EUR, in line with the outlook, contributing to the reduction by 0.4% of the debt-to-assets ratio. These are noticeable in the office and property of distribution networks segments (of which the Cofinimur I portfolio of insurance agencies in France represents only 0.03% of the consolidated portfolio as at 31.03.2023, after disposals of more than 15 million EUR in 2023 and nearly 110 million EUR cumulatively since the process was launched in 2021).

Cofinimmo has been adopting a proactive ESG policy for almost 15 years now. This is a real priority for the group, which once again distinguished itself in 2023. At the beginning of the year, Cofinimmo was selected by Euronext to be one of the 'Top SBTi 1.5°C ESG Bond issuers' and was included in the new Euronext Bel ESG Index. In addition, Cofinimmo further improved its ESG performance with the renewal of several ESG labels.

In terms of financing, Cofinimmo reinforced its financial resources and its balance sheet structure during the last two financial years (cumulative capital increases of 565 million EUR in 2021 and 114 million EUR in 2022). The financing operations during this period enabled the group to improve the maturity timetable of its financial debts, to increase the amount of available financing, to maintain an average cost of debt at particularly low levels and to maintain their average residual maturity. In this respect, Cofinimmo carried out in January the last early refinancing for 2023 (90 million EUR), to bring its maturity to 2030; there are therefore no further long-term debt maturities in 2023. The interest rate risk is hedged at 100% as at 31.03.2023 through the use of IRS and caps; the expected ratio for the period 2023-2027 is also high, ranging from 83% to 100% depending on the year. As at 31.03.2023, Cofinimmo had 764 million EUR of headroom on committed credit lines, after deduction of the backup of the commercial paper programme.

The group's momentum in terms of investments and financing (average cost of debt at 1.4%), coupled with efficient management of the existing portfolio in transformation (occupancy rate of 98.7%, gross rental income up 6.8% on a like-for-like basis due to recent indexations, which usually take place on the anniversary date of the contract, operating margin at 81.9%), enabled the company to realise a net result from core activities – group share of 53 million EUR as at 31.03.2023, in line with the outlook (compared to the 51 million EUR that were made as at 31.03.2022, i.e. a 5% increase), mainly due to the investments made, higher than the scope effect of disposals as well as the positive effect of contracts indexation. The net result from core activities – group share amounts to 1.62 EUR per share (in line with the outlook, compared to 1.60 EUR as at 31.03.2022), taking into account the issuance of shares in 2022. The effect of disposals and

1 i.e. the quarterly outlook derived from the annual outlook presented in the 2022 universal registration document, published on 06.04.2023.

PRESS RELEASE

capital increases on this indicator is -0.05 EUR per share and -0.06 EUR per share respectively, i.e. -0.11 EUR per share in total.

The net result – group share amounted to 17 million EUR (i.e. 0.53 EUR per share) as at 31.03.2023, compared to 167 million EUR (i.e. 5.28 EUR per share) as at 31.03.2022. This change is due to the fact that the increase in the net result from core activities – group share is lower than the negative change in the fair value of hedging instruments and investment properties – non-cash items – between 31.03.2022 and 31.03.2023.

With a debt-to-assets ratio of 45.8% as at 31.03.2023 (45.6% as at 31.12.2022), Cofinimmo's consolidated balance sheet (whose BBB/Stable/A-2 rating was confirmed on 21.03.2023) shows a strong solvency (information on main risks and uncertainties are stated in section 13), supported by the fact that the group has already secured agreements for future divestments (represented in the balance sheet by non-current assets held for sale) for 101 million EUR, which would over time reduce the debt-to-assets ratio by approximately 1%.

Given the state of progress of ongoing projects, the net investment budget for 2023 published on 17.02.2023 (and detailed in the annual financial report, i.e. gross investments of 300 million EUR and divestments of 300 million EUR, these net investments having a neutral effect on the debt-to-assets ratio) remains valid. Based on the information currently available, and barring major unforeseen events, Cofinimmo confirms its outlook with a net result from core activities - group share of 6.95 EUR per share for the 2023 financial year, taking into account the prorata temporis dilutive effects of the 2022 capital increases (approximately 0.18 EUR per share) and the divestments carried out in 2022 and budgeted in 2023 (approximately 0.28 EUR per share). Based on the same data and assumptions, the debt-to-assets ratio would be stable at approximately 45.6% as at 31.12.2023. This ratio does not take into account possible changes in fair value of investment properties (which will be determined by the independent real estate valuers). The gross dividend outlook for the 2023 financial year, payable in 2024, can therefore be confirmed at 6.20 EUR per share. This outlook is provided subject to the main risks and uncertainties stated below (see section 13).

The building will have a total surface area of approximately 7,700 m² and will offer 135 beds. The centre is located next to the Convention Centre of Dos Hermanas, currently under construction, next to the new SE-40 expressway and the new regional train station. For this site, Cofinimmo foresees an A-level energy performance and a BREEAM Excellent

certification.

Cofinimmo acquired this plot of land through a subsidiary. The investment budget for both the plot of land and the works amounts to approximately 12 million EUR. Construction is expected to start in the second quarter of 2023 within the framework of a turnkey project. The delivery of the nursing and care home is currently scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2024.

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

5.5. Changes in gross rental revenues on a like-for-like basis

The year-on-year change in gross rental income amounted to 9.8% thanks to changes in the consolidation scope and good operating performance. On a like-for-like basis, the level of rents increased (+6.8%) between the first three months of 2022 and the first three months of 2023: the positive effect of new leases (+1.1%) and indexation (+7.2% in total, including in particular +7.5% for healthcare real estate, of which +8.7% in Belgium for example, indexation being usually applied at the anniversary date of the contract) more than compensated the negative impact of departures (-0.5%) and renegotiations (-0.9%). The renegotiations include the positive effect of the extension of the usufruct of the Loi/Wet 56 and Luxembourg 40 office buildings occupied by the European Commission, for which the assignments of receivables made in 2008 expired during the 2022 financial year.

6. Financial resources management

Cofinimmo's financial strategy is characterised by the diversification of its financing sources, regular access to the capital markets, a debt-to-assets ratio close to 45% and the optimisation of the maturity and cost of its financing. Cofinimmo also pays particular attention to the coherence between its financial strategy and its ESG objectives (see chapter Strategy of the 2022 universal registration document published on 06.04.2023). At the end of this quarter, Cofinimmo's debt consisted mainly (around 70%) of long-term financing contracted in recent years.

In terms of financing, Cofinimmo reinforced its financial resources and its balance sheet structure during the last two financial years (cumulative capital increases of 565 million EUR in 2021 and 114 million EUR in 2022). The financing operations during this period enabled the group to improve the maturity timetable of its financial debts, to increase the amount of available financing, to maintain an average cost of debt at particularly low levels and to maintain their average residual maturity.

PRESS RELEASE

6.1. Financing transactions since 01.01.2023

The various operations carried out since the beginning of the quarter are stated hereunder.

6.1.1. Overall evolution of the financing operation

  • - 30.01.2023: Refinancing of a 90 million EUR credit line maturing in January 2023 to bring its maturity to 2030;
  • 29.03.2023: New 18 million EUR bilateral credit line maturing in 2030.

The credit spreads on these instruments are comparable to those of the (re)financing concluded in the second half-year of the previous financial year.

In addition, after 31.03.2023, the following transaction was concluded:

  • 17.04.2023: Signature of the extension for 210 million EUR of the syndicated loan for one additional year to bring its maturity to 19.05.2028, with no impact on credit spreads.

6.1.2. Interest rate hedging

In January 2023, Cofinimmo increased its hedging by subscribing to IRS for an amount of 75 million EUR covering the years 2026-2029.

6.2. Availabilities

On 31.03.2023, availabilities on committed credit lines reached 1,709 million EUR. After deduction of the backup of the commercial paper programme, Cofinimmo had at that date 764 million EUR of available lines to finance its activity.

6.3. Consolidated debt-to-assets ratio

On 31.03.2023, Cofinimmo met the debt-to-assets ratio test. Its regulatory debt-to-assets ratio (calculated in accordance with the regulations on RRECs as: financial and other debts / total assets) reached 45.8% (stable compared to 31.12.2022). Taking into account agreements for 101 million EUR future divestments (represented in the balance sheet by non-current assets held for sale), the proforma debt-to-assets ratio would be approximately 1%. As a reminder, the maximum debt-to-assets ratio for RRECs is 65%.

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

6.4. Weighted average residual maturity of financial debts

The weighted average residual maturity of the financial debts remained stable at 5 years between 31.12.2022 and 31.03.2023. This calculation excludes short-term commercial paper maturities, which are fully covered by tranches available on long-term credit lines.

Committed long-term loans (bank credit lines, bonds, commercial paper with a term of more than one year and term loans), for which the total outstanding amount was 3,654 million EUR as at 31.03.2023, will mature on a staggered basis until 2033, as shown in the graph below. There are no further long-term debt maturities in 2023.

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

The average cost of debt, including bank margins, was 1.4% for the first quarter of 2023, slightly up compared to that of the 2022 financial year (1.2%) and in line with the outlook1 .

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

As at 31.03.2023, the breakdown of expected fixed-rate debt, hedged floating-rate debt and unhedged floating-rate debt was presented as shown in the graph below.

PRESS RELEASE

As at 31.03.2023, the anticipated market interest rate risk was hedged at 100%; the expected ratio for the period 2023-2027 is also high, ranging from 83% to 100% depending on the year. Cofinimmo's result nevertheless remains sensitive to fluctuations in market interest rates.

6.6. Financial rating

Since 2001, Cofinimmo has been granted a long-term and short-term financial rating from the Standard & Poor's rating agency. On 21.03.2023, Standard & Poor's confirmed the group's BBB rating for the long term (stable outlook) and A-2 for the short term.

6.7. Treasury shares

In accordance with article 8:6 of royal decree of 29.04.2019 executing the code of companies and associations, Cofinimmo declares that it held Cofinimmo shares over the counter (OTC) with a view to delivering these shares to the members of the executive committee. This operation is part of the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI) that was approved as part of the remuneration policy by the ordinary general meeting of 13.05.2020. The shares in question will be unavailable to the acquirers for the next three years.

REGULATED INFORMATION Brussels, 28.04.2023, 7:30 a.m. CET

PRESS RELEASE

7.3. Developments in the situation of some healthcare operators

As a reminder, the investigations carried out in France in some nursing and care homes of Oprea, a French operator active in the care of elderly people, led to the publication, in the spring of 2022, of several detailed reports, both by the competent authorities and the operator in question. Since the summer of 2022, corrective actions relating to the company's operations and strong governance decisions – such as the appointment of an almost completely overhauled executive committee and new directors – have been implemented.

The opening of an amicable conciliation procedure1 resulted on 01.02.2023 in an agreement in principle – confirmed on 14.02.2023 by the signature of a lock-up agreement to which approximately 51% of the creditors adhered on 13.03.2023 – on the restructuring of Orpea's financial debt, the raising of new financial resources and the adjustment of its covenants, within a stable and legally secure framework. This agreement provides for the French State, through the 'Caisse des dépôts et consignations' (CDC), to acquire a majority stake in Orpea and for the conversion of part of its debts into capital. Orpea – which published on 13.02.2023 a revenue of 4.68 billion EUR for 2022, up 8.9% – should therefore continue to implement its new strategy entitled "Orpea changes with you and for you" to the benefit of its employees, residents and their families.

Cofinimmo has acknowledged the existence of a "Plan for the future of 90 million euro" announced by Orpea Belgium following its extraordinary works council of 16.02.2023 (see press release of Orpea Belgium on 16.02.2023), during which the operator has announced the regrouping of ten of its nursing and care homes in Flanders and Brussels. Only two of the ten buildings in question are owned by Cofinimmo, which points out that the existing long-term contracts remain in force.

As a reminder, as at 31.03.2023, Orpea represents 6% of Cofinimmo's rental income (Belgium 2.5%, France 1.5%).

In Germany, Cofinimmo was informed in the first quarter of 2023 that three private nursing and care home operators, Curata, Convivo and Novent, had filed for insolvency. Cofinimmo's exposure to these operators, as owner, is very limited (respectively less than 0.2% of the contractual rents for Convivo and Novent, and less than 1% of the contractual rents for Curata). In the meantime, Cofinimmo has already signed new leases with the Curata group (whose conditions are in line with the outlook) enabling to continue operating three of the four sites owned by Cofinimmo and leased to the Curata group. For the other operators, Cofinimmo is engaged in constructive discussions with the companies in question to contribute, on its own scale, to a solution and, if necessary, to find other operators to take over the operation of the sites, in the interest of all residents and their families.

On a like-for-like basis*, gross rental income increased by 6.8% between 31.03.2022 and 31.03.2023 (see section 5.5). Rental income (after gratuities, concessions and termination indemnities – see details on the calculation of alternative performance indicators) amounts to 84 million EUR, compared to 76 million EUR as at 31.03.2022, up 9.8% compared to 2022. After taking writedowns on receivables into account (0.1 million EUR), rental income, net of rental charges, amounts to 84 million EUR, compared to 76 million EUR as at 31.03.2022, up 9.8% and in line with the outlook1 announced last February.

Writeback of lease payments sold and discounted are in line with the outlook. In 2023, due to the expiry in 2022 of certain contracts for the assignment of receivables (including those relating to the Loi/Wet 56, Luxembourg 40, Maire 19 and Meeûs 23 office buildings, see section 5.5), only the buildings Colonel Bourg/Kolonel Bourg 124 and Nerviens/Nerviërs 105 still generate writeback of lease payments sold and discounted. They will have a non-linear impact on the income statement for the financial year: to the 0.8 million EUR in the 1st quarter will follow 0.3 million EUR in the 2nd quarter, 0.1 million EUR in the 3 rd quarter and finally 0.1 million EUR in the 4th quarter. From 2024 onwards, the annual amount (relating to Colonel Bourg/Kolonel Bourg 124) will be around 0.6 million EUR.

As for the direct operating costs, the variations between 31.03.2022 and 31.03.2023 are in line with the outlook. The change in corporate management costs over the same period is in line with the outlook. As a reminder, in application of IFRIC 21, taxes for which the generating effect has already occurred, are recognised at January 1st for the entire year. This is notably the case for withholding taxes, regional taxes and municipal taxes on office space. The operating margin, adjusted following the effect of the application of IFRIC 21, is established at 81.9% and is in line with the outlook.

Financial income are stable at 3 million EUR between 31.03.2022 and 31.03.2023. Net interest charges (10 million EUR) increased by 2 million EUR, as anticipated in the outlook. The average cost of debt amounts to 1.4%, compared with 1.2% as at 31.03.2022, and is in line with the outlook.

The taxes are stable at 3 million EUR.

The minority interests related to the net result from core activities decreased due to the partial repayment of the mandatory convertible bonds (following the numerous disposals of insurance agencies in France) issued by Cofinimur I.

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 53 million EUR as at 31.03.2023, in line with the outlook (compared with the 51 million EUR that were made at 31.03.2022, i.e. a 5% increase), mainly thanks to the investments made, higher than that of disposals as well as the positive effect of contracts indexation. The net result from core activities – group share amounts to 1.62 EUR per share (in line with the outlook, compared to 1.60 EUR as at 31.03.2022), taking into account

PRESS RELEASE

the issuance of shares in 2022. The average number of shares entitled to share in the result of the period thus increased from 31,659,256 to 32,846,217 between these two dates. The effect of divestments and capital increases on this indicator is -0.05 EUR per share and -0.06 EUR per share respectively, i.e. -0.11 EUR per share in total.

As for the result of financial instruments, the item Change in the fair value of financial instruments amounts to -17 million EUR as at 31.03.2023, compared with +75 million EUR as at 31.03.2022. This variation is explained by the change in the anticipated interest rate curve between these two periods.

As for the result on the portfolio, the gains or losses on disposals of investment properties and other nonfinancial assets is -2 million EUR as at 31.03.2023 (compared to 0.4 million EUR as at 31.03.2022 - this result is calculated on the basis of the fair value at 31.12.2022 of the assets divested during the period and the net price obtained, i.e. after deduction of any broker's commission, notary fees and other ancillary costs). The item Changes in the fair value of investment properties is negative as at 31.03.2023 (-12 million EUR vs +47 million EUR as at 31.03.2022). Without the initial effect from the changes in the scope, the changes in the fair value of investment properties are almost stable (-0.2%) over the first three months of 2023. This is due to the stability of the healthcare portfolio (with differences per country offsetting each other globally) and the distribution network portfolio, combined with a 1% decrease in the value of the office segment, which represents 21% of the consolidated portfolio (see section 10). The item Other result on the portfolio, amounts to -3 million EUR as at 31.03.2023 (compared to -7 million EUR as at 31.03.2022), and comprises in particular the effect of changes in the scope and deferred taxes1 .

The net result - group share amounts to 17 million EUR (i.e. 0.53 EUR per share) as at 31.03.2023, compared to 167 million EUR (i.e. 5.28 EUR per share) as at 31.03.2022. This change is due to the fact that the increase in the net result from core activities – group share is lower than the negative change in the fair value of hedging instruments and investment properties – non-cash items – between 31.03.2022 and 31.03.2023.

Comments on the consolidated balance sheet

The investment value of the consolidated property portfolio1 , as determined by the independent real estate valuers, amounts to 6,566 million EUR as at 31.03.2023, compared to 6,492 million EUR as at 31.12.2022. Its 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. As at 31.03.2023, the fair value reaches 6,267 million EUR, compared to 6,200 million EUR as at 31.12.2022, i.e. a 1% increase.

The proportion of due rents related to the 1st quarter and actually collected on 27.04.2023 is similar to the proportion collected as at 27.04.2022.

The item Participations in associates and joint ventures refers to Cofinimmo's 51% stake in the joint ventures BPG CONGRES SA/NV and BPG HOTEL SA/NV., as well as participations in associates (Aldea Group NV for 27.1%, SCI Foncière CRF for 39% and participations in the 6 companies developing the eco-friendly healthcare campuses in the Land of North Rhine-Westphalia, in Germany). The item Minority interests includes the minority interests of six subsidiaries, as well as the Mandatory Convertible Bonds issued by the Cofinimur I SA subsidiary (MAAF/GMF distribution network in France). They decreased due to the partial repayment of the said Mandatory Convertible Bonds (following the numerous sales of insurance agencies in France).

PRESS RELEASE

11.2. Net results from core activities and dividend per share

Based on the information currently available and the assumptions detailed below (gross investments of 300 million EUR and divestments of 300 million EUR in 2023, of which around 54 million EUR have already been realised, with these net investments having a neutral effect on the debt-to-assets ratio), and considering the disposals carried out in 2022 and budgeted in 2023, Cofinimmo confirms, barring major unforeseen events, to achieve a net result from core activities – group share of 6.95 EUR per share for the 2023 financial year, taking into account the prorata temporis dilutive effects of the capital increases carried out in 2022 (approximately 0.18 EUR per share) and the divestments carried out in 2022 and the ones budgeted in 2023 (approximately 0.28 EUR per share). Based on the same data and assumptions, the debt-to-assets ratio would be stable at approximately 45.6% as at 31.12.2023. This ratio does not take into account possible changes in fair value of investment properties (which will be determined by the independent real estate valuers). The gross dividend outlook for the 2023 financial year, payable in 2024, can therefore be confirmed at 6.20 EUR per share.

This outlook is provided subject to the main risks and uncertainties stated below (see section 13). Section 8.1 includes information on the expected writeback of lease payments sold and discounted in 2023.
