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.

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.
