          CeGeREAL - Lettings Update & Launch of the Go Green Operation

Since July 1, there have been several noteworthy developments concerning both
the portfolio and the Company's financing.

Dynamic marketing of the Arcs de Seine business campus

Following Hewlett Packard, which leased an additional 900 sq.m. in June,
Boursorama and Huawei have also expanded their offices in the Arcs de Seine
business campus, signing new leases on 2,800 sq.m. in building A and
1,300 sq.m. in building B respectively, pursuing the lettings after the
renovations finished at the start of the year.
As of today, nearly two-thirds of the complex are let, B and C buildings being
fully let.

Go Green, a comprehensive environmental approach

CeGeREAL has decided to launch environmental audit and certification programs
at all the properties in its portfolio.
- The program has already led to the Arcs de Seine complex obtaining "HQE
  Exploitation" certification from Certivéa on June 21 for the High
  Environmental Quality of the site.
- At the Group's other two properties - Europlaza and Rives de Bercy - the
  pre-audit phases will be launched soon.

Full refinancing with more attractive terms

A EUR400 million 5-year facility agreement was signed on 26 July with a pool
of four banks, replacing the Company's various other loans as from
mid-November.
The new facility has no impact on the Company's loan-to-value ratio which will
be unchanged at 47%. The facility's main terms are as follows:
- At current swap rates, the final interest rate should stand at around 3.30%
  to 3.60% depending on the portfolio's occupancy rate, representing
  significantly   less than the initial 4.15%
- The hard covenants are unchanged:
     * The loan-to-value ratio may not exceed 70%
     * Interest cover (ratio of finance costs to net rental income) must be at
       least 1 .5x
