In May 2025, Aedifica approached Cofinimmo SA/NV with a proposal for a conditional voluntary public takeover of 100% of the Cofinimmo's voting securities, through a public exchange offer, whereby the Cofinimmo shares could be exchanged for new shares that would be issued by Aedifica. Through this proposal, Aedifica launched the process aiming to combine its business and that of Cofinimmo into a combined entity. More than one year later, and after taking all necessary regulatory steps, Cofinimmo and Aedifica have merged officially on the 1st of July 2026.    The combined entity Aedifica group is now a leading listed European healthcare real estate platform that will benefit from greater operational strength, a stronger balance sheet structure, and lower capital costs. This will allow us to remain relevant for all our stakeholders, including our shareholders, care operators, credit providers and, last but not least, our teams.
