The Group’s consolidated LTV ratio stood at 45.0% as of 31 December 2018 compared with 47.7% as of 31 December 2017. In view of the cash position, the total net debt ratio eased from 41.0% as of 31 December 2017 to 36.8% as of 31 December 2018. As of 31 December 2018, the Group complied with all commitments in respect of the LTV, ICR and DSCR covenants agreed with its financial partners. 1.4 Major subsequent events On 30 January 2019, M.R.M. announced the sale of Urban, an unoccupied 7,970m 2 office building located in Montreuil, for the sum of €6.35 million excluding transfer taxes. This transaction marks the completion of the office-asset disposal plan initiated in June 2013 enabling M.R.M. to refocus its portfolio exclusively on retail properties. It brings the cumulative amount of office properties sold by M.R.M. within the framework of its asset disposal programme to €132.3 million, 9.8% higher than the appraisal values at 30 June 2013 after taking CAPEX into account. It is specified that, following the disposal by certain shareholders of M.R.M. shares carrying double voting rights, which in turn resulted in a reduction in the total number of voting rights of the Company, SCOR SE, which held 26,155,662 M.R.M. shares carrying one voting right per share as at 31 December 2018, representing 59.9% of the share capital, saw its percentage of the voting rights increase on 25 January 2019 from 48.84% to 50.49%. SCOR SE therefore declared this passive crossing of the 50% voting-rights threshold. It also obtained a derogation from the AMF exempting it from its obligation to file a public offer (due to the increase in its 30% to 50% share of M.R.M.’s voting rights by more than 1% in less than twelve months) pursuant to Article 234–9-5 of the AMF General Regulations, on the basis that this increase stemmed from a reduction in the total number of voting rights (AMF opinion No. 219C0307 dated 20 February 2019).
