General information on the issuer and its share capital Management report for the year ended 31 December 2017

The environmental issue has become a major requirement for commercial complexes, involving all lessors and retailers but also the consumers using them every day. It is therefore important for stakeholders in commercial property to formalise their reciprocal commitments and to contribute to achieving the environmental targets that France has set itself. The purpose of the CNCC lessor-tenant charter is to define the sustainable development principles to be used in commercial leases. This educational text recommends a series of measures to be implemented covering a range of issues such as reducing the centre’s energy consumption, carbon footprint, waste and water treatment and recycling, air quality, etc. Lastly, the building located at 5 avenue Kléber, which M.R.M. rents for its head office, was designed, refurbished and is operated in accordance with the principles set by the HQE (High Environmental Quality) standard. One of the aims of this standard is to improve the environmental quality of buildings throughout their life cycles from works scheduling to operation to demolition. The Company is keen to involve its personnel as building users in best practice as regards respecting and protecting the environment (selective sorting, recycling, reasonable use of paper, etc.). Certifications As part of its property activity, during the past financial year, the Company continued to apply France’s HQE initiative, which takes full account of the challenges of sustainable development, by limiting the impact of building construction on the environment and opting for harmonious integration, wholly reflecting the needs and comfort required by users. As part of its substantial restructuring of the Nova building in La Garenne-Colombes, M.R.M. adapted its projects to incorporate the HQE initiative, both in the design phase and in the course of the operation of the building, despite the need to take on Board the constraints of the site and of the structure of the existing building. Priority was given to the integration of the building in its site, with notably the laying out of vegetal terraces reducing the discharge of rain water and improving the cooling of the building during the summer. A centralised technical management system to optimise a building’s energy efficiency and provide information on consumption, “high-performance” equipment, strict management of waste from building sites,

and building façades with double glazing offering excellent thermal and acoustic performance have all been integrated into the project since its inception. As a result, the Nova building develops all the criteria for a modern building, highly effective and functional while ensuring optimal comfort to its users. Its main characteristics were designed and executed with a focus on sustainable development and the well-being of its occupants, making it a “green” property in terms of location, public transport, the environment and nearby services, occupant comfort, and energy and water efficiency. The additional costs incurred by the adoption of this initiative are seen by M.R.M. as investments that contribute to value creation. These investments paid off when the property received HQE NF – Bâtiments Tertiaires certification in 2012 and BREEAM In Use – Good certification in 2014 and again in early 2018. In 2015 and again in 2017, the property received the HQE Exploitation label. The Green Approach Guides In setting up a “green” approach for the operation of its properties, particularly through energy savings measures and working with its tenants, M.R.M. seeks to have an impact on improving energy performance, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and slowing climate change. To this end, M.R.M. has developed Green Approach Guides for its office property in use to encourage all stakeholders – tenants, occupants, managers, technical staff, miscellaneous service providers and owners – to work together to become “green” stakeholders every day. Occupants need to become empowered in how they use their office spaces, with the aim of reducing energy consumption, ensure sanitary quality and user comfort while respecting the environment. M.R.M. intends to fully support them in this process. The Green Approach Guides therefore aim to help tenants to ask the right questions at the right time, from fitting-out to daily use. The tenant company needs to be able to communicate its commitments in terms of Corporate and Social Responsibility, both internally and externally: • Employee well-being in comfortable, user-friendly work spaces; • Company integration in the local economic and social fabric; • Environmentally-friendly practices and undertakings.
