Property of distribution networks
Cofinimmo’s portfolio of property of distribution networks consists of
a portfolio of pubs/restaurants let to the brewing group AB InBev and
a portfolio of financial service agencies let to the insurance company
MAAF (Covéa group). These portfolios were acquired as part of “sale
and leaseback” transactions. Since they are let under a master lease,
the assets that make up these portfolios cannot be treated as tradi-
tional commercial assets. There is no “market” strictly speaking for this
type of portfolio acquired as part of “sale and leaseback” transactions.
The table illustrated on the following pages includes:
•
the properties for which Cofinimmo receives rents;
•
the properties with rents assigned in whole or in part to a third party,
with Cofinimmo retaining the ownership and the residual value.
For these properties, the item “Contractual rents” comprises the
reconstitution of lease payments sold and discounted and, where
appropriate, the share of unsold rents

;
•
the various projects and renovations in progress.
It does not include the buildings held by subsidiaries of the Group
accounted for under the equity method. This involves EHPAD Les
Musiciens, acquired as part of a joint-venture between Cofinimmo and
ORPEA.
All the properties of the consolidated portfolio are held by Cofinimmo
SA/NV, with the exception of those asterisked (*) which are held
(wholly or partially) by one of its subsidiaries (see Note 43).
The rental situation of buildings not under a finance lease contract for
which the lessees benefit from a purchase option at the end of the
lease is described on the next page.

Pub/restaurant Martelarenplein 6 – Leuven (BE)
Despite constraints linked to the renovation of an historic building,
the renovation of the façades and roofs made it possible to improve
the building’s energy performance.
Pub/restaurant Korenmarkt – Mechelen (BE)
The façade is made available to the urban artist Gijs Vanhee in the
context of “Mechelen Buurt”, a project bringing art to public spaces.
