Nexity was informed today that around 60 of its key managers, including Alain Dinin (Chairman and CEO) and Hervé Denize (Deputy CEO) have agreed to transfer to the newly created company New Port a portion of the Nexity shares they currently hold, representing approximately 1.15% of Nexity's share capital. Meanwhile, New Port undertook on 23 December 2014 to purchase 3% of Nexity's share capital from the BPCE group.

As a result of these transactions, New Port will individually hold about 4.15% of Nexity's share capital. New Port might increase this stake slightly depending on the opportunities presented by the market, and sees this as a long-term investment.

New Port and the key managers acting in concert will hold a total of 8.18% of Nexity's share capital (including the shares that the managers will keep in their personal portfolios and not transfer to New Port).

In light of the preceding information, the total shareholding of Nexity by its key managers and employees will amount to* approximately 12.07% of Nexity's share capital, including the shares held by the key managers and employees of Nexity not acting in concert. Moreover the share capital of Nexity will be 33.39% held* by the BPCE group and 4.97% held by Generali, with the free float representing 49.57% of Nexity's share capital.

The investments in New Port described above will be supplemented by a cash investment made by Crédit Mutuel Arkéa and reinforced by bank financing provided by Société Générale. The share capital of New Port will thus be split approximately 40% for Crédit Mutuel Arkéa and 60% for the key managers. Alain Dinin will be chairman of New Port and Hervé Denize will be chief executive officer.

Alain Dinin had this to say: "This is a clear expression by New Port's investors of their confidence in an integrated real estate services business model and its ability to pursue long-term development targets. It is an additional demonstration of their enthusiasm."
