Gecina Further Strengthens the Attractiveness and Flexibility of Its Offer for Foncière De Paris by Adding a New Component, with an Exchange Offer Based on Gecina OSRA

Regulatory News:

In order to address the concerns raised by some of Foncière de Paris’ shareholders, Gecina (Paris:GFC) today announces that it is adding a new component to its proposed public offer (AMF notice n°16C1164) following the approval from its Board of Directors, giving all Foncière de Paris shareholders a third possibility. They will now be able to tender their Foncière de Paris shares to a public exchange offer for Gecina subordinated bonds redeemable in shares "OSRA” (mandatory convertibles), as per the following terms:

  • 23 new Gecina OSRA for every 20 Foncière de Paris shares.
  • Gecina OSRA will be issued at a unit price of 117.66 euros.
  • They will be redeemed in new Gecina shares and will offer a 5.5% yield over 7 years.

Taking into account the respective exchange parities, this new component offers a secured annual yield 8%1 higher than the OSRA component offered by Eurosic.

This new component complements the two existing components Gecina’s public offer which, whether in cash or in Gecina shares, remain unchanged and more attractive than those proposed by Eurosic’s offer, as a reminder:

  • A cash offer of 150 euros per share, providing immediate liquidity, with a premium of 14 euros per share or +10% compared to Eurosic’s offer.
  • A share offer valuing Foncière de Paris at 141.2 euros per share, with a premium of almost 16 euros per share or +12% compared to Eurosic’s offer based on the respective NAVs. This component offers the opportunity to become a shareholder in the undisputed leader in Paris office property, with an unrivalled network in the strategic areas of the city, a diversified tenant base and an integrated expertise. This component also offers liquidity, profitability and access to an attractive dividend distribution policy, which has been growing over the past few years.

Similarly, the holders of Foncière de Paris OSRA will be offered the possibility to opt for a mixed offer ("OSRA and Cash” offer) and receive Gecina OSRA and a cash payment, on the basis of 207 Gecina OSRA and 1,954.60 euros for 140 Foncière de Paris OSRA.

In its revised form, Gecina’s offer provides even more flexibility and attractiveness offering the possibility to opt for Gecina OSRA2.

In order to take the new OSRA component into account, Gecina will postpone to a later date the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting, initially convened on June 29th 2016.

The revised draft information document will be filed in the coming days to the Autorité des Marchés Financiers.

The other terms and conditions of the offer filed by Gecina on May 19th 2016 remain unchanged.
