Result of the optional dividend in shares offer

Introduction1

The ordinary general meeting of 10.05.2023 had decided to distribute for the 2022 financial year a gross dividend of 6.20 EUR per share2 .

The board of directors decided to offer shareholders the choice between receiving the dividend payment for the year 2022 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 73.78 EUR. The new shares will be entitled to Cofinimmo's results (Euronext Brussels: COFB) as from 01.01.2023 (first dividend payable in 2024).

Shareholders were invited to communicate their choice between the different payment modalities between 17.05.2023 and 31.05.2023.

Result of the offer

A total of 31% of the 2022 dividend coupons were contributed to the capital against new shares.

This will result in the issuance of 559,974 new shares for a total amount of 44.3 million EUR.

The remaining dividend pay-out will be settled in cash for a net total amount of 98.3 million EUR3 . The payment in cash and/or the delivery of securities will be made as from 05.06.2023. The effective day of listing of the new shares will be 07.06.2023.

As a result, Cofinimmo's share capital will be represented by 33,477,703 shares.

Jean-Pierre Hanin, CEO of Cofinimmo: "We are satisfied with the 31% subscription rate and would like to thank our shareholders for their renewed trust. Taking into account market conditions since the launch of the offer, this is a noticeable result compared to the average subscription rate since 2020 (i.e. 46.6%). This transaction enables to reduce the group's debt-to-assets ratio by 0.7%, a positive effect that was not included in the 2023 budget."
