Paris, 17 April 2019

Covivio General Meeting:

Approval of the scrip dividend option with a subscription price of €81.29

Renewal of the term of office of the Chairman and appointment of two new

independent directors

Scrip dividend option

During the General Meeting of 17 April 2019, the shareholders approved the amount of the dividend paid in respect of fiscal year 2018 of €4.60 per share (a 2.2% increase compared with 2017), as well as the scrip dividend option.

The subscription price of the shares to be delivered as payment of the dividend has been set at €81.29. It corresponds to 90% of the average of the closing share price of the 20 trading sessions prior to the General Meeting of 17 April 2019, less the dividend1.

The shares issued as a result will bear rights as of 1 January 2019 and will be the subject of a request for authorisation to trade on the Euronext Paris regulated market as well as on the MTA (Mercato Telematico Azionario) market on the Milan Stock Exchange.

This transaction allows Covivio to come significantly closer to its new objective of LTV below 40% (vs 40-45% previously), while pursuing its investments, especially in the development pipeline which offers high profitability (6.1% yield on the total development cost of committed projects).

The shareholders represented on the Covivio Board of Directors (Delfin, Covea, Predica and ACM, representing 49% of the capital) have already undertaken to subscribe to this option.

Dividend calendar

13 May 2019: ex-dividend date

15 May 2019 to 29 May 2019 inclusive: period for exercising the scrip dividend option (after this period has expired, the dividend will be paid in cash)

5 June 2019: payment of the dividend in cash and settlement and delivery of the new shares

1The subscription price is rounded up to the next cent higher. If the amount of dividends for which the option is exercised does not correspond to a whole number of shares, the shareholders will be able to receive the next lowest whole number of shares and the remainder paid in cash by Covivio. The shareholders who wish to opt for the payment of the dividend in shares should address their request to the financial intermediary handling their securities account for shares registered in an account in bearer form or in a managed registration account, and to the issuer account registrar of Covivio (BNP Paribas Securities Services) for shares in the issuer registration account.

The maximum number of shares to be issued through the payment of the dividend in shares, if 100% of the shareholders were to subscribe to the option, would represent 5.65% of the share capital as at 17 April 2019.

Renewal of the term of office of the Chairman and appointment of two new independent directors

The General Assembly also approved the renewal of the term of office of Jean Laurent as member of the Board of Directors for four additional years.
