General information on the issuer and its share capital Management report for the financial year ended 31 December 2022

1.1.2 Company history Prior to its restructuring as a real estate company in 2007, M.R.M. was originally a listed holding company at the head of a group built around three business activities: manufacturing and sales of velvet products (JB Martin Holding), clothing design and retailing in Mexico (Edoardos Martin), and the production and sale of plastic cables and tubes (M.R. Industries). 2013 was marked by a major recapitalisation of M.R.M. via the acquisition of a majority stake of 59.9% in its share capital by SCOR SE and the conversion into M.R.M. shares of the whole of a €54 million bond issued by an M.R.M. subsidiary. Alongside the restructuring of M.R.M.’s bank and bond debt to which it was subject, this recapitalisation established a healthy financial structure for M.R.M. characterised by a strengthening of its equity base, significant debt reduction and rescheduling, and the restoration of its cash position. Since then, M.R.M.’s strategy has been to refocus its business on holding and managing retail properties with plans to gradually dispose of its office properties. This refocusing process was completed in 2019. In 2022, with a view to diversifying and developing its assets, M.R.M. changed its dimension by acquiring two shopping centres from Altarea located in Flins-sur-Seine (Yvelines) and in Ollioules (Var), both adjacent to Carrefour hypermarkets, for a total amount of €90.4 million including transfer taxes (the “Acquisition Transaction”). The Acquisition Transaction resulted in share capital increases representing a total amount of €50.0 million and carried out at a unit subscription price equal to the reconstitution NAV per M.R.M. share as of 30 June 2022, namely €48.92. They were subscribed for €25.0 million by SCOR SE and €25.0 million by Altarea. The balance of the purchase price was financed by a new bank loan of €42.0 million. This financing structure enabled M.R.M. to maintain a net LTV ratio below 45%. Following the Acquisition Transaction, the respective stakes of SCOR SE and Altarea became 56.63% and 15.94%. The Company’s governance was modified to reflect the new shareholder base of M.R.M. This structuring transaction opens up new development prospects for M.R.M. with the deployment of its dynamic asset management policy based on an expanded portfolio.
