Gecina: Press Release

Regulatory News:

Gecina (Paris:GFC) acknowledges the opening of its public offering (the "Offer”) from today for all the securities of Foncière de Paris (Euronext Paris: FDPA).

The Offer will be open from July 29, 2016 to September 15, 2016 inclusive.

The Offer is now no longer dependent on approval from the French competition authorities or from Gecina’s extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting, but is still subject to the success threshold, i.e. subject to Foncière de Paris securities representing at least 50.01% of the share capital and voting rights of Foncière de Paris being tendered for the Offer.

Gecina has also formally notified the French financial markets authority (AMF) today that the agreements connected to Eurosic’s offer have proven to be irrevocable, depriving Foncière de Paris’ other shareholders of the right to choose, contrary to the principle for the freedom to make offers and counteroffers.

As a result, Gecina has asked the AMF to take all necessary measures to ensure compliance with the guidelines for public offerings and particularly the principles of fair treatment, transparency and fair competition.
