PRESS RELEASE
Paris, 8 February 2013
Strong operating income
Foncière des Murs confirms its number one hotel property investor status
Acquisition of 165 B & B hotel portfolio bolsters presence in the hotel industry
Foncière des Murs, in a partnership with Crédit Agricole Assurances and
Assurances du Crédit Mutuel, acquired a portfolio of 165 B & B hotels in
November 2012 for a total amount of EUR513 million at 31 December 2012, or
EUR258 million group share, with Foncière des Murs holding a 50.2% stake.
This acquisition was partially financed by a capital increase of EUR125 million,
carried out with the support of the primary Foncière des Murs shareholders in
April 2012, resulting in 7.8 million new shares created.
With this purchase, Foncière des Murs becomes the leading lessor amongst the
three major hotel operators in France-Accor, B & B and Louvre Hotels-thus
confirming its number one hotel property hotel investor status.
A diversified financing source and reinforced financial structure
* EUR520 million in new funds, which covers all loans maturing in 2013 and a
portion of those coming due in 2014
Foncière des Murs has refinanced all debt instruments maturing in 2013 as well
as part of those maturing in 2014, while diversifying its financing sources.
The EUR520 million of new financing breaks down as follows:
- Bank debt in the amount of EUR265 million is made up of mortgages with a
5-year maturity.
- Another EUR255 million are in the form of a mortgage bond issue with a 7-year
maturity.
This innovative issue, the first for listed covered bonds in France, was
underwritten by institutional investors.
The financial statements were approved by the Supervisory Board on 8 February
2013. Audit procedures for the consolidated financial statements were carried
out. A certification report will be produced following final specific
verification processes.
* EUR332 million in asset sales and sales agreements, at a price 1.9% higher
than the appraised value, of which EUR269 million are new commitments signed
in 2012.
These sales involved 80 properties including:
- 28 hotels including the buildings and business assets, for EUR140 million
- 41 operating retail properties, as single units or as part of portfolios,
for EUR1 12 million. The sale of Quick and Courtepaille restaurants were the
first to be carried out by Foncière des Murs. These sales demonstrated the
liquidity and attractiveness of this class of assets, which was evident
through the interest shown by investors
- 11 Healthcare properties for EUR80 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 42.4% compared with 45.8% as at 31 December 2011. In this
way, LTV has dropped by nearly ten points since 31 December 2010.
31 December 2011 31 December 2012 Change
LTV (excluding charges) 48.4% 44.8% -360 bps
LTV (including charges) 45.8% 42.4% -340 bps
Average debt maturity has increased by one year, moving to 3.6 years.
Lastly, interest cover (ICR) amounted to 2.60 as at 31 December 2012, stable
compared with the end of 2011.

Rental income at 31 December 2012 decreased by EUR18.8 million in absolute value
terms, which primarily reflects the impact of the 2011 and 2012 disposals,
particularly in hotels.
On a like-for-like basis, rental income increased by 0.5% for the year, despite
the depressed economic environment.
Net recurring EPRA income of EUR112.8 million, and EPS of EUR1.82
Net recurring EPRA income amounted to EUR112.8 million, down 6.6% from EUR120.8
million at 31 December 2011. This decrease reflects the impact of the arbitrage
and deleveraging strategy (asset sales amounting to EUR750 million since the
beginning of 2011). On a per share basis, net recurring EPRA income amounted to
EUR1.82 at 31 December 2012, down 14.9% from EUR2.14 at 31 December 2011.

tenants in their development activities, thus bolstering existing
partnerships.
Foncière des Murs has established the objective of stabilising net recurring
