*   Press release*
Clermont-Ferrand - January 22, 2019

*COMPAGNIE GÉNÉRALE DES ÉTABLISSEMENTS MICHELIN*

* *

*Michelin acquires leading Indonesian tire manufacturer PT Multistrada Arah Sarana TBK, *
*thereby gaining competitive production capacity of more than 180 000 Tons and strengthening its presence in the fast-growing Indonesian market*

* *

 

In line with its strategy, Michelin today announced it has signed an agreement to acquire 80% of PT Multistrada Arah Sarana TBK ("Multistrada"), a tire manufacturer based in Indonesia. With a production capacity of more than 180 thousand Tons (i.e., 11 million Passenger car tires, 9 million Two-wheel tires and 250 thousand Truck tires), Multistrada generated net sales of USD 281 million in 2017. With this transaction, Michelin will strengthen its presence in the highly promising but local-production dominated Indonesian market by acquiring a very competitive local plant with good quality facilities and immediately available production capacity. Leveraging its technical expertise with limited new investment, Michelin will gradually convert production from Tier 3 passenger car tires to Tier 2 Michelin Group brands, thereby allowing more Tier 1 production at other Asian plants and supporting growth of demand of Tier 2 volumes in Europe, North America and Asia.

In addition, through the transaction Michelin will acquire a 20% stake in the retailer PT Penta Artha Impressi ("Penta") in partnership with Indomobil and private investors, which will boost the marketing and sales of Michelin Group brands in Indonesia allowing Michelin to secure significant access to a major market and be well placed to benefit from the market's future growth and expansion.

Jean-Dominique Senard, Chief Executive Officer of the Michelin Group, said: "The acquisition of Multistrada represents an excellent opportunity for Michelin to expand its operations in Indonesia, the most populous country in Southeast Asia, and immediately gain competitive, good-quality production capacity without having to create any new manufacturing facilities."

Pieter Tanuri, Chief Executive Officer of Multistrada, said: "we are very proud of what we achieved with Multistrada and we are confident Michelin is the ideal partner to take Multistrada forward into a new era of growth and success for the benefit of all stakeholders and employees."

Potential synergies in manufacturing, sales and purchasing are expected to represent up to USD 70 million per year within 3 years of the acquisition. Multistrada, including the 20% stake in the retailer PT Penta and 50 hectares of available land, has been valued at USD 700 million enterprise value, representing 6.3 times EBITDA for the 12 months ended  September 30^th, 2018, after expected synergies.

Upon closing, Michelin will pay USD 439 million for 80% of the Multistrada shares subject to certain closing adjustments. As Multistrada is a publicly listed company, and pursuant to Indonesian regulations, Michelin will subsequently launch a public offer for the remaining outstanding shares, at the same price per share as that offered to the 80% shareholder group. The acquisition will be funded from internal financial resources and is not expected to have an impact on Michelin's ratings.

*McPhy: FY 2018 revenue of €8 million *

· Confirmation of a 21% decline in FY 2018 revenue compared to FY 2017 due to delays affecting several orders
· FY 2018 operating performance expected to show the impact of this top-line contraction
· High rate of growth maintained in Europe, with revenue up 23% compared to FY 2017
· Confirmation of a sustained commercial activity and a "qualified commercial pipeline"^[1] estimated at over €80 million
· Further business expansion expected in 2019

*La Motte-Fanjas, January 22, 2019 at 5:45pm - McPhy (Euronext Paris Compartment C: MCPHY, FR0011742329) *a specialist in hydrogen production and distribution equipment, is today announcing its revenue for the financial year ended December 31, 2018.

(in millions of euros) *2018* *2017* *Change*
*First half* *3.5* *5.5* -36%
*Second half* *4.5* *4.6* -2%
*Total revenue* *8.0* *10.1* *-21%*

 *We expect our revenue to return to growth in 2019 [.] supported by the expansion in our qualified pipeline [.] and operational implementation of our partnership with EDF, under which we are making joint submissions for heavy mobility competitive tenders"* Pascal Mauberger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of McPhy, commented: "The contraction in our 2018 revenue mainly reflects the delays in the concretization of several orders and an extension to the length of certain existing projects by McPhy's customers, despite highly buoyant conditions in the clean hydrogen market worldwide. These orders should materialize on the medium term.

For example, the permit for the second hydrogen station in Lyon awarded at the beginning of 2018 entered into force only in December.

We anticipate revenue growth in 2019 supported by a qualified pipeline of over €80 million and operational implementation of our partnership with EDF, under which we are making joint submissions for heavy mobility competitive tenders such as bus refueling stations with a capacity of several hundred kg per day; and such as platforms fueling hydrogen trains and river ferries with a capacity of over 1 tonne per day are among the projects being tendered for. We are confident in McPhy's ability to seize and convert market opportunities owing to its renowned expertise and its cutting-edge technologies geared to meeting the colossal market needs linked to the imperative transition towards a lower carbon economy."

*21% contraction in McPhy's FY 2018 revenue*

McPhy's revenue fell 21% to €8 million in the financial year to December 31, 2018. This anticipated and announced contraction mainly reflects the delays in the concretization of several orders and an extension to the length of certain existing projects by McPhy's customers. Revenue in Europe continued to deliver a high growth, rising 23% in FY 2018.

Revenue in Asia was held back by an end to recognition of revenue related to the €6.4 million contract to deliver the 4 MW Power-to-Gas equipment in Hebei (China). Excluding the impact of this contract, revenue growth would have been 9% in FY 2018.

McPhy held €14.9 million in cash at December 31, 2018.

*Key milestones achieved by McPhy in clean hydrogen market that remains as buoyant as ever*

The expected ramp-up in the hydrogen market predicted in the Hydrogen Council's "Scaling Up" report^[2] continued in 2018. The French government also undertook to support the development of a carbon-free hydrogen sector as part of the energy transition. In 2019, it is expected to set aside a budget of €100 million for the roll-out of carbon-free hydrogen in the industry, mobility and energy sectors across France.

Amid buoyant market conditions, McPhy reaffirmed its leadership credentials with major industry players and forged key partnerships.

In April, it launched a whole new generation of electrolyzers under its technology partnership with De Nora. This provides a genuine technological breakthrough substantially strengthening its competitive advantage.

McPhy has also expanded its hydrogen mobility offering. In May 2018, McPhy won a contract with the Lens-Béthune urban area for a 200kg/day 350-bar refueling station. This station, which is due to enter into service in the first half of 2019, ultimately will power 10 hydrogen buses. McPhy also developed a line of dedicated refueling stations for 700-bar vehicles. These successfully passed the tests held jointly with Toyota, the leader in carbon-free mobility, paving the way for the architecture for the first series to be finalized in late 2018. An order has now been received for the first 200kg/day 700-bar refueling station close to Berlin in Germany, scheduled for delivery in late 2019.

McPhy also signed in June 2018 an industrial and commercial partnership with EDF, the world leader in low-carbon energies to develop carbon-free hydrogen in France and around the world. With the additional financial resources and the partnership of the EDF group, McPhy will be able to accelerate the pace of its growth, strengthen its business development, and conquer new markets.

*Further business expansion expected in 2019*

The delayed orders, which impacted McPhy's FY 2018 revenue and all its results, are expected to materialize on the medium term. Its "qualified commercial pipeline" currently stands at over €80 million, providing further evidence of its sustained commercial activity.

McPhy has received an order for a next-generation 40kg/day 30-bar electrolyzer, which will be delivered this year. It is intended for a refueling station to be built by ATAWEY^[3] and located in Chambéry as part of the Zero Emission Valley project^[4] in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Under the project, 20 stations are due to be installed across the region, including 15 with electrolyzers^[5].

In addition, McPhy has recently received an order for 11 electrolyzers from the PIEL line, which are due to be delivered during 2019. These electrolyzers will be used to inflate balloons for weather probes. This is the largest order ever placed for McPhy's PIEL line of products.

Lastly, the industrial and commercial partnership agreed with EDF in 2018, to develop carbon-free hydrogen in France and around the world, is now fully operational. McPhy and EDF will now make joint submissions to calls for tenders for bus refueling stations with a capacity of several hundred kg/d based on electrolyzers and for platforms to power hydrogen trains and river ferries with a capacity of over 1 tonne per day.

As a result, McPhy expects its revenue to return to growth in 2019.

*Next press release:*

*Nantes, 22 January 2019*

Given the context of the "Yellow Vests" movement that marked the fourth quarter of 2018 in France, Maisons du Monde (Euronext Paris: MDM, ISIN Code: FR0013153541) is issuing today an exceptional trading update on its full-year 2018 sales and results ahead of the full publication.

Based on unaudited figures, Maisons du Monde confirms that its sales and results for the year ended 31 December 2018 are in line with the Group's full-year targets, which were adjusted in the third quarter to reflect an anticipated softer trading environment in France.

With year-on-year sales growth of 7.4% at constant perimeter, of which 3% like-for-like, and 10% including Modani, these unaudited figures for full-year 2018 demonstrate the strength of Maisons du Monde's omnichannel and international strategy, with continued momentum in online sales, including in France, and strong commercial dynamics across its European markets.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, Maisons du Monde reported sales growth of 5.6% year-on-year at constant perimeter, of which 2% like-for-like, and 9.3% including Modani. This performance was achieved despite a challenging retail environment in France, which was further impacted by the "Yellow Vests" movement.

Based on its initial review, Maisons du Monde also confirms its EBITDA margin target of above 13% of sales for full-year 2018.

In line with its updated targets, Maisons du Monde recorded 22 net openings in 2018, of which its first store in the United States under its banner, in addition to 3 net openings by Modani.

Maisons du Monde will release its fourth-quarter and full-year 2018 results on 12 March 2019.

DGAP-News: IMMOFINANZ AG / Key word(s): Real Estate/Bond

22.01.2019 / 18:29
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
--------------------
THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN, INTO OR TO ANY PERSON LOCATED OR RESIDENT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN, OR INTO OTHER COUNTRIES IN WHICH THE RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT MAY BE UNLAWFUL.
 
 
IMMOFINANZ announces the successful placement of a EUR 500 million benchmark bond and received investment grade rating from S&P
 
 

· Coupon of 2.625%, Notes due 2023
· S&P Global Rating assigned 'BBB-' long-term issuer rating to IMMOFINANZ
· First ever rated benchmark bond by an Austrian real-estate company

 
IMMOFINANZ AG ("IMMOFINANZ") successfully placed EUR 500 million fixed rate senior unsecured notes (the "Notes") with a 4-year maturity and a 2.625% fixed coupon on 21 January 2019. The net proceeds of the issue of the Notes will be used for the refinancing of existing debt and general corporate purposes.
 
Today, S&P Global Rating has assigned a 'BBB-' long-term issuer credit rating to IMMOFINANZ and a 'BBB-' issue rating to the Notes.
 
The reasons cited by S&P Global Rating for its rating decision include, among others, IMMOFINANZ' market position as one of the largest commercial property owners in CEE region, the stable occupancy levels and the stable demand trends in the company's operating environment.
 
"This transaction represents an important milestone for IMMOFINANZ in further diversifying the funding sources with an investment grade rated unsecured instrument, while the refinancing of existing debt will secure currently low interest rates and increase the hedging quota", comments Stefan Schönauer, CFO of IMMOFINANZ. "The investment grade rating underlines the success of our consistent strategy implementation, which has resulted in a very solid financial profile and a sustainable improvement in profitability. Additionally, the transaction also constitutes the first ever rated benchmark bond by an Austrian real-estate company."
 
The Notes have a denomination of EUR 100,000 each and will be listed at the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. An application will be made to introduce the Notes for trading on the Third Market (MTF) of the Vienna Stock Exchange.
 
Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan, Société Generale and UniCredit acted as Joint Bookrunners and Joint Lead Managers.
 
As a consequence of the newly achieved investment grade rating, IMMOFINANZ' outstanding convertible bonds 2024 will see a step-down in coupon by 0.5% to 1.5% p.a. already applicable for the next interest period.
