COVID-19
= acceleration of the evolution of our ways of working and living - Offices will be used differently: focus on collective efficiency
- Long-termimpact on office demand still uncertain but focus on cost reduction and flexibility is likely
- New equilibrium between an increase in m² (social distancing) and a reduction m² (increase in teleworking) has yet to be defined

Global study of Cushman & Wakefield:
50% will work in an ecosystem of workplaces with a balance between the office, home and other places - Befimmo and Silversquare are well positioned:
Joint "hybrid offer", ranging from traditional offices to full flexibility and a mix of both, which allows clients to combine several innovative workspaces
that promote creativity and networking in a BeLux network

* The coworking spaces planned in the Befimmo buildings are generally fitted out by Befimmo (real-estate operator) and handed over to Silversquare as "turnkey" premises. | P 20 |
Silversquare (coworking operator) invests in the furniture and IT for these spaces. For the spaces provided in third-party buildings, Silversquare invests in the fitting-out as well as in furniture and IT. | |

- 6% of Befimmo's consolidated rental income, proportion in consolidated income will remain relatively low until 2023

This presentation is made for the sole benefit of financial analysts and qualified institutional investors and is not to be considered as an incentive to invest or as an offer to acquire Befimmo shares under any laws of European countries or the USA or Canada.
The information provided herein is extracted from Befimmo's annual reports, half-yearly reports and press releases but does not reproduce the whole content of these documents, which prevail and ought to be analyzed before any recommendation or operation regarding Befimmo shares is made.
This presentation contains statements and estimates about anticipated future performances. These statements and estimates are not to be construed as implying a commitment from Befimmo to achieve them. Whether or not they will actually be achieved depends on a number of factors which are beyond the reach of Befimmo's control, such as developments in the real estate and financial markets.
Such statements and estimates are based on various assumptions and assessments of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which were deemed reasonable when made but may or may not prove to be correct.
Actual events are difficult to predict and may depend upon factors that are beyond the Company's control. Therefore, actual results, financial condition, performances or achievements of Befimmo, or market results, may turn out to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by such statements and estimates.
Given these uncertainties, investors are invited not to unduly rely on these forward-looking statements and estimates. Furthermore, forward- looking statements and estimates only speak as of the date of this presentation.
Befimmo disclaims any obligation to update any such forward-looking statements or estimates to reflect any change in the Company's expectations with regard thereto, or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement or estimate is based , except to the extent required by the Belgian law and in particular the Royal Decree of November 14, 2007. In no event Befimmo may be held liable for obligations which are incumbent on financial analysts and disclaims any liability in that regard.
Any reference to the portfolio, assets, figures or activities of Befimmo should be understood on a consolidated basis, including those of its subsidiaries, unless it is clear from the context or expressly stated that the contrary is intended.
