NOT FOR PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AUSTRALIA, CANADA OR JAPAN.

First stage of public offering successfully closed: 80.41 % New Shares subscribed in Rights Offering

Launch of accelerated private placement of Scrips

Cofinimmo announces that in respect of its public offering to subscribe to a maximum of 1,642,374 New Shares at a price of 94.50 EUR per new share as part of a capital increase in cash with Priority Allocation Rights, 1,320,642 New Shares have been subscribed through the exercise of Priority Allocation Rights (13 Priority Allocation Rights giving the right to subscribe 1 New Share). This represents a subscription of 80.41 % of the maximum offer amount of 155,204,343 million EUR.

The subscription period with Priority Allocation Rights closed on 27.06.2018. The 4,182,516 Priority Allocation Rights which have not been exercised during the Subscription Period will be converted into an equal number of Scrips, which will be sold today in an accelerated private placement to qualified investors in the EEA or in accordance with another exemption from the obligation to publish a prospectus further to Article 3.2 of the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in Member States of the EEA, which will take place today as of 11:45 AM CET and is expected to end the same day.

Investors purchasing Scrips can subscribe to the remaining New Shares and thus irrevocably commit themselves to the same conditions as for the subscription with Priority Allocation Rights: one (1) New Share at 94.50 EUR for thirteen (13) Priority Allocation Rights in the form of Scrips.

The New Shares shall only be profit sharing as from the date of settlement of the capital increase (the Closing Date), i.e. the New Shares will be entitled to the dividend of the current financial year (started on 01.01.2018) to be declared by the General Shareholders' Meeting of 2019 calculated pro rata temporis as from the Closing Date of this transaction until 31.12.2018.

The net proceeds from the sale of these Scrips will be paid to the holders of unexercised Priority Allocation Rights unless the average sales price per Scrip is less than 0.01 EUR, in which case they would be transferred to Cofinimmo.

The results of the sale of the Scrips and the final results of the public offering will be published in a press release, after the finalization of the accelerated private placement.

The payment of the subscription price, the settlement of the capital increase, the listing and the start of the trading of the New Shares on Euronext Brussels is foreseen on 02.07.2018.
