Cofinimmo becomes the majority shareholder in a property company created by the French Red Cross

Following its entry, in December 20201, into the capital of the property company2 SCI Foncière CRF created by the French Red Cross (hereafter 'the company'), the Cofinimmo group (Euronext Brussels: COFB) has announced to have increased its stake in the capital of the company. For Cofinimmo, this transaction, which is in line with the agreements signed at the end of 2020, represents an investment of approximately 13 million EUR. This corresponds to a stake of just over 11%, to be added to the 39% already acquired in December 2020. The Cofinimmo group's stake now amounts to 50% plus one share of the capital of the company, making it the majority shareholder. This stake increase generates the consolidation of SCI Foncière CRF in Cofinimmo's accounts.

Jean-PierreHanin, CEO of Cofinimmo: "This transaction enables us to strengthen the partnership entered into with the French Red Cross in 2018 with the acquisition of an aftercare and rehabilitation hospital (SSR) under construction in Chalon-sur-Saône. This partnership was already extended in December 2020 with our entry into the capital of the property company SCI Foncière CRF, created by the French Red Cross, in which we are further increasing our stake today."

1. The sites

SCI Foncière CRF owns six high-end sites spread throughout France: six aftercare and rehabilitation clinics (cliniques de soins de suite et de réadaptation - 'SSR'), two of which are also active in medicine, surgery and obstetrics (médecine, chirurgie et obstétrique - 'MCO'). With the exception of a few extensions built before 1998, the six sites comprise around thirty buildings (excluding extensions), all of which were built or renovated between 1998 and 2019 (and most of them from 2010 onwards). All the sites are leased to the French Red Cross.

2. The transaction

Following its entry, in December 2020, into the capital of SCI Foncière CRF, the Cofinimmo group has increased its stake in the capital of the company. For the Cofinimmo group, this investment amounts to approximately 13 million EUR, which corresponds to a stake of just over 11%, to be added to the 39% already acquired in December 2020. The amount of this investment was included in the investment estimate for 2023, as published in section 11.1 of the press release dated 17.02.2023, and confirmed in section 11.1 of the press release dated 28.07.2023.

As the Cofinimmo group now owns 50% plus one share of the capital of the company, the latter will be included in Cofinimmo's consolidation scope (previously recognised under the equity method). The change in the consolidation method will have no impact on the net result - group share, but will impact the presentation of the income statement (in particular due to the recognition of around 10 million EUR of rental income on yearly basis). The balance sheet of SCI Foncière CRF that will be consolidated, mainly consists of approximately 180 million EUR of investment properties and approximately 70 million EUR of financial debts.

3. The tenant

The French Red Cross belongs to the world's largest humanitarian movement, which brings together 97 million men and women gathered around the same ideal of fraternity and solidarity in 191 countries. An association under the law of 1901, recognised as a public utility in 1945, the French Red Cross bases its action in the field of emergency, relief operations and social action on the commitment of its 65,500 volunteers working in over 1,164 delegations and local units covering the whole of metropolitan France and overseas territories. The association is also a major player in the social and solidarity-based economy of non-profit services. Present in the health, medical-social, social and training sectors, it manages nearly 600 facilities with 16,700 employees.
