Procedure governing fractional shares

Pursuant to the Merger Plan, any shareholder of Beni Stabili who does not hold on the Effective Date a sufficient number of Beni Stabili shares to receive a whole number of new Covivio shares will be entitled to receive, in addition to the whole number of Covivio shares resulting from the Exchange Ratio, a cash consideration as a settlement for such fractional entitlements to Covivio shares.

In order to procure the funds to settle the fractional entitlements to Covivio shares, a financial intermediary has been appointed by Covivio in order to implement a global sale on Euronext Paris of the new Covivio shares corresponding to fractional entitlement to Covivio shares.

The net proceeds from such sale will be allocated among the former Beni Stabili shareholders, pro-rata to their rights to fractional entitlement to Covivio shares, it being specified that the amount will be net of any trading fees and any other fees which would relate to the sale of the new Covivio shares.

The amount will be paid to each eligible shareholder within a period of 30 days as from 4 January, 20191.

For the avoidance of doubt, no interest shall be paid in relation to the cash payment to be received by the relevant shareholders of Beni Stabili even in case of delays of payment of such amount.
