Adaptation of the development plan to face the current crisis

The gradual recovery of real estate activity during the third quarter will limit the negative consequences linked to the shutdown of the real estate sector during the second quarter of the year. However, the current health crisis will have a significant impact on the group's performance in 2020.

In order to deal with the current situation, we have adopted new priorities :

• • Suspension of new land acquisition for better control of the working capital;

• • Maintaining the sales policy of finished products inventory;
