                         A busy 2009 last quarter

The last few months of 2009 were exceptionally busy for the Affine Group, which
placed leases totalling over 41,750 sqm during the fourth quarter. Notably,
30,000 sqm of warehouse space (75% of the total site) was re-let in Saint Cyr en
Val (France, department 45) under a 6-year fixed lease to two new tenants,
specialized in logistics.

The Group's investment and arbitrage businesses also remained very strong:
Banimmo acquired the Marché Saint-Germain shopping centre in Paris for
EUR29.6m, and Affine acquired the "Les 7 Collines" shopping centre in Nîmes for
EUR36.3m.

Finally, a dynamic disposal policy continued, with the Group significantly
exceeding its objective for the year. During the quarter, 6 buildings that had
reached maturity in the portfolios of Affine and AffiParis were sold for a total
of EUR26m. These sales involved office buildings located in Avignon, Bailly,
Nantes, Sèvres, Paris and Sophia Antipolis. In addition to the sale of the
Sirius Building at the beginning of October, Banimmo completed EUR20m of
disposals at the end of the year.

For 2009 overall, almost EUR164m of building sales were completed, of which
EUR120m were carried out by Banimmo in Belgium.
