FREY develops in Spainan open-air shopping centrein partnership with
Eurofund Group

FREY (ISIN: FR0010588079) announces that it has signed today with Eurofund
Group, a developer specialising in new generation shopping centres, an
agreement to acquire a 70% stake in the investment company that is developing
an authorised open air shopping centre project in Lleida, Catalonia.

On this occasion, Antoine FREY, Chairman and CEO, said: " We are pleased to
announce today the launch of our first Spanish Shopping Promenade. With
Eurofund, we have found a first rank and attentive partner to develop a project
that perfectly meets the current aspirations of retailers and visitors. After
the acquisition of Parc Vallès near Barcelona in early 2018, this transaction
perfectly illustrates our Group's strategy to develop, in France and abroad, a
high-quality, secured and highly profitable portfolio ".

Located halfway between Barcelona and Zaragoza and a stone's throw from
Andorra, the Shopping Promenade of Lleida will benefit from a deep (300,000
inhabitants within 30 minutes) and high-quality catchment area (unemployment
rate at 8.6% much lower than the average in Spain and Catalonia) in a context
of low competitive intensity (province with the lowest commercial equipment
rate in Spain).

The final project, upgraded by Frey's expertise, will propose a 56,000 m2
shopping and leisure offer with a mix of leading local and international
brands, a hypermarket operated by Bonpreu, a multiplex cinema with 1,000 seats
and over 3,000 parking spaces. The building of the site is expected to start in
the course of 2020 for an opening in early 2023.

This project represents an investment of approximately EUR120 million in total
with a 7.25% estimated yield of cost. The transaction will be financed from
FREY's own funds and will be fully consolidated.

The payment at closing to Eurofund is EUR7 million and will completed by
different earn outs based on the level of preletting of the site.
