Leasinvest Real Estate SCA notifies that the public bond offering in Belgium is closed anticipatively, already after the first day of the subscription period, in consultation with the Joint Lead Managers, Belfius Bank NV/SA, BNP Paribas Fortis NV/SA and ING Bank N.V., Belgian Branch, because the maximum amount of EUR 75 million has been reached.

The Joint Lead Managers received subscriptions for an amount that was higher than the foreseen maximum amount of the issue of EUR 75 million. Because of the oversubscription, the subscriptions will be proportionally reduced. The investors will receive more information on this matter via their financial intermediary.

This bond offers an annual gross coupon of 3.75%. This represents a gross actuarial yield of 3.399% on an annual basis and the net annual actuarial yield is 2.472%.[1]:
