€700 m were already engaged as of end June 2016

The Company's existing shareholders will be granted a priority subscription period from 10 January 2017 to 12 January 2017 (inclusive), with orders placed by existing shareholders during such period not subject to reduction (à titre irréductible) (the "Priority Period"). The New Shares not subscribed for in the Priority Period will be offered in a public offering in France and a private placement to certain institutional investors in and outside of France, excluding certain countries, including the United States of America, Canada, Japan, South Africa and Australia.

Orders placed in the Public Offering and Private Placement will be subject to clawback depending on the results of the Priority Subscription.

The subscription price of the New Shares will be €78.79 per New Share, representing a discount of 4.7% over the closing trading price of the shares of the Company on 9 January 2017.

The Capital Increase will lead to the issue of 4,414,597 New Shares for a gross amount of

€348 million, and in the event of full exercise of the increase option, of 5,076,786 New Shares for a gross amount of €400 million.

The transaction is intended to give Foncière des Régions the means to further develop, and to strengthen its unique profile as an integrated real estate operator, enhancing value and generating sustainable and resilient cash-flows.

BofA Merrill Lynch, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Morgan Stanley and Natixis are acting as Joint Global Coordinators, Joint Lead-Managers and Joint Bookrunners of the Private Placement (as defined below) (the "Joint Global Coordinators, Joint Lead- Managers and Joint Bookrunners") and UniCredit Corporate & Investment Banking is acting as Passive Bookrunner.

The Company has agreed to a lock-up period starting from the visa granted by the Autorité des marchés financiers ("AMF") on the prospectus and expiring 180 calendar days following the settlement and delivery date of the New Shares, subject to certain exceptions set out in the securities note and waiver by the Joint Global Coordinators, Joint Lead Managers and Joint Bookrunners.

Predica has agreed to a lock-up in respect of their shareholding in the Company from the date of the visa granted by the AMF on the prospectus and lasting until the settlement and delivery date of the New Shares, subject to certain exceptions and waiver by the Joint Global Coordinators, Joint Lead Managers and Joint Bookrunners.

Underwriting

Pursuant to a placement and underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") signed on 9 January 2017 between the Company and the Joint Global Coordinators, Joint Lead Managers and Joint Bookrunners (the "Underwriters"), the Capital Increase is partially underwritten by the Underwriters for an aggregate amount representing up to 19.0% of the Capital Increase before any exercise of the increase option, corresponding to a maximum amount of up to €66.0 million, to the extent that subscriptions in the Priority Subscription, Public Offering and Private Placement do not represent at least 75% of the aggregate amount of the Capital Increase before any exercise of the increase option. This Underwriting Agreement does not constitute a performance guarantee (garantie de bonne fin) within the meaning of Article L. 225-145 of the French Commercial Code.

As a consequence, if demand for New Shares is insufficient, the contemplated Capital Increase may be limited to the amount of the subscriptions received provided that such subscriptions represent at least 75% of the aggregate amount of the Capital Increase before any exercise of the increase option.

If demand for the New Shares does not reach 75% of the aggregate amount of the Capital Increase before any exercise of the increase option and the Underwriting Agreement is terminated, the Capital Increase and the orders already submitted would be cancelled.
