PRESS RELEASE
Paris, 16 July 2012
Strengthened financial structure
Slight increase in like-for-like rental income
Strengthened financial structure enabled the LTV ratio to drop to 40.4%
* Successful capital increase of EUR125 million
During the 1st quarter of 2012, Foncière des Murs, a Foncière des Régions
subsidiary, completed a capital increase of EUR125 million, with the support of
its main shareholders.
This capital increase gave Foncière des Murs the necessary funds to take
advantage of investment opportunities, as well as to increase its financial
flexibility by strengthening its equity capital.
* EUR230 million in new funds, which covers all loans maturing in 2013
At the beginning of July 2012, Foncière des Murs signed a refinancing agreement
for a total amount of EUR230 million with Natixis and CACIB, covering all loans
maturing in 2013. The new debt has a 5-year maturity.
* EUR202 million in asset sales, at a price 3.5% higher than the appraised
value
Properties amounting to EUR202 million were sold during the half-year at a price
3.5% higher than the appraised valuations. These sales involved 47 properties
including:
- 18 hotels including the buildings and business assets, for EUR88 million
- 10 Healthcare properties for EUR76 million
- 19 operating retail properties, as single units or as part of portfolios,
for EUR38 million
These asset sales, which were realised directly, satisfy two objectives, namely
asset rotation and debt reduction, in line with the 2011 asset sales.
As a result, Foncière des Murs' financial structure was markedly strengthened,
with an LTV ratio of 40.4% compared with 45.8% as at 31 December 2011. LTV ratio
dropped by 10 points compared to 31 December 2010.
The accounts have been approved by the Supervisory Board on July 16, 2012. The
short-form semi-annual consolidated financial statements have been audited. The
statutory auditors' report will be issued after the procedures required for
publishing the half-yearly financial statements have been completed.
31 December 2011 30 June 2012 Change
LTV (excluding transfer duties) 48.4% 42.7% -570 bps
LTV (including transfer duties) 45.8% 40.4% -540 bps
Debt maturity increased slightly to 2.7 years.
Lastly, interest cover (ICR) amounted to 2.59 as at 30 June 2012, i.e. unchanged
compared with the end of 2011.
Slight increase in rental income: 0.3% like-for-like increase
(EUR million) H1 2012 H1 2011 Change (in % Change Like-for-like

Hotels 47.0 60.0 -13.0 -21.7% -2.5%

Leisure 8.3 8.0 0.3 3.4% 3.4%
Rental income 90.7 103.1 -12.4 -12.0% 0.3%
First half 2012 rental income decreased by EUR12.4 million in absolute value
terms, which primarily reflects the impact of the 2011 and early 2012 disposals,
mainly in the hotels sector. On a like-for-like basis, rental income increased
by 0.3% over the half-year, despite the depressed economic context.
Net recurring EPRA income of EUR55 million, and EPS of EUR0.92
Net recurring EPRA income amounted to EUR55 million, down 10.5% from EUR61.5
million in first half 2011. This decrease reflects the impact of the arbitrage
and deleveraging strategy (asset sales amounting to EUR620 million since the
beginning of 2011). On a per share basis, first half 2012 net recurring EPRA
income amounted to EUR0.92, down 15.4% from EUR1.09 in first half 2011.
Meanwhile, net income, Group share, came in at EUR260.7 million compared with
EUR158.5 million for first half 2011.

*The average number of shares increased between 2011 and 2012, following the
April 2012 capital increase.
NAV of EUR1,631 million, up 7.1%
Wholly-owned assets were valued at EUR2,887 million (excluding charges) as at
30 June 2012, compared with EUR2,949 million as at 31 December 2011. This change
reflects the impact of the asset sale programme. On a like-for-like basis, NAV
increased by 1.2% compared with the end of 2011, and posted an average yield of
6.3% (excluding charges).
EPRA NAV increased by 7.1% to EUR1,630.9 million (i.e. EUR25.40 per share), up
from EUR1,523.2 million (i.e. EUR27.00 per share) at the end of 2011. The EPRA
Triple Net NAV increased by 7.2% to EUR1,369.6 million (i.e. EUR21.30 per
share), up from EUR1,278 million (EUR22.60 per share) at the end of 2011. The
change in NAV per share relating to the dilutive effect of the capital increase
amounted to EUR1.30 per share.

Outlook for 2012
Foncière des Murs confirms its objective to improve its financial structure,
while continuing to benefit from the development opportunities in the business
properties sector, particularly in the hotel industry.
Indeed, in June 2012, Foncière des Murs entered into exclusive negotiations
with ANF, in partnership with La Française Rem, for the purchase of 167 B&B
hotels.
