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 (J.B. Martin Holding), clothing design and retailing in Mexico (Edoardos Martin), and the production and sale of plastic cables and tubes (M.R. Industries). The year 2013 was marked by a major recapitalisation of M.R.M. via the acquisition of a majority stake of 59.9% in its capital by SCOR SE and the conversion into M.R.M. shares of the €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.

The Group’s legal structure can be found in section 1 of the 2017 Registration Document. In 2017, 11 new leases or lease renewals were signed in the retail property portfolio, representing an annual rental income of €0.8 million. As of 1 January 2018, the net annualised rent for retail properties was €7.4 million, down 6.1% from 1 January 2017. As of 31 December 2017, occupancy rates of retail properties were down 8% to 76% compared with 31 December 2016. This decline stemmed mainly from tenant departures in Reims, Amiens and Allonnes which more than offset the impact of the lease agreements signed in 2017. However, all leases signed in 2017 had not yet taken effect as of 31 December 2017. As such, the leases signed will take effect on a staggered basis until mid-2018 and will allow for an additional potential 3% increase of the occupancy rate for the retail portfolio. 1.3 Situation and activity of entities
