On 29 August 2022, Alexandrite Monnet Belgian Bidco SA (the "Bidder"), an entity fully controlled by one of Brookfield's real estate private funds, reopened its unconditional tender offer in cash to acquire all shares of Befimmo SA (Euronext Brussels: BEFB) ("Befimmo") at a price of €47.50 per share (the "Offer").

The Additional Acceptance Period for the Offer ended on 30 September 2022 and the Bidder published the results today.

During the Additional Acceptance Period, 3,403,717 shares of Befimmo have been tendered to the Offer. As a result, the Bidder will own 91.83% of the shares of Befimmo. Taking into account the treasury shares held by Befimmo, it will control a total of 96.90% of the shares of Befimmo.

The Offer price will be made payable on 21 October 2022.

As the Bidder now directly and indirectly holds more than 95% of the shares of Befimmo SA, the Bidder has exceeded the threshold required to launch a simplified Squeeze-out offer. The Bidder has therefore decided to proceed to a final reopening of the offer for acceptance. The reopening will have the effect of a simplified Squeeze-out and result in the delisting of Befimmo SA.

The Bidder will open a final Additional Acceptance Period at 9:00am CET on Tuesday 25 October 2022. This Additional Acceptance Period will close on Tuesday 3 January 2023 at 5:00pm CET. Shareholders who have not yet accepted the Offer will therefore be able to do so.

The results of the final Additional Acceptance Period will be announced on or around 10 January 2023. The Offer price for shares tendered during the final Additional Acceptance Period will be made payable on or around 24 January 2023.

Shares that have not been tendered prior to closing of the final Additional Acceptance Period will be transferred to the Bidder by force of law and the relevant shareholders will have to request payment of the offer price for their shares at the Deposit and Consignment Office.

The Prospectus and its supplement (including the Response Memorandum and its supplement and the acceptance form), approved in French and translated in Dutch and English, are available on the following websites:
