MR. ÉRIC DONNET IS APPOINTED AT THE SUPERVISORY BOARD OF ARGAN

Press release – Neuilly-sur-Seine, Wednesday, December 11, 2024 – 5.45 pm

Mr. Éric Donnet

is appointed at the Supervisory Board of ARGAN

Upon proposal of the Nominations and Remuneration Committee, ARGAN’s Supervisory Board, which met on December 10, 2024, has unanimously decided to appoint Mr. Éric DONNET as an independent member of the Supervisory Board, upon this day.

Mr. Éric DONNET graduated from the ICN (Institut Commercial de Nancy) and holds a DESCF (French master’s degree in management control, accountancy and financial management), and has acquired over 25 years of experience in the financial and real estate fields. He was, more particularly, the CEO of Groupama Immobilier and Chairman of Groupama Gan REIM from 2014 to 2024. He is now the CEO of the Daniel Féau group, since March 2024.

This appointment is provisional to replace Mr. François-Régis de CAUSANS1. This decision will thus be put to shareholders during the next General Assembly to take place on March 20, 2025. Please note that the mandate would then expire on the same day as the mandate of the replaced member; i.e., the General Assembly of 2026.

As a consequence of this appointment, ARGAN’s Supervisory Board has once again 8 members, including 3 independent, which thus represents 38% of its composition, a ratio above the threshold of one third recommended by the Middlenext code.

Also note2 that a Governance change will be put to shareholders at the 2025

General Assembly, which would result in a reduction of the number of seats of the Supervisory Board from 8 to 6 members, including 2 independent.

2025 financial calendar (Publication of the press release after closing of the stock exchange)

  • January 3: Net sales of 4th quarter 2024
  • January 16: Annual results 2024
  • March 20: General Assembly 2025

Real Estate Report December 2024

BE-REITS suffer from macro-worries (logistics) and post-Trump knee-jerk reaction. We believe that especially money flows are pushing stocks down as interest rate fears resurfaced in the US. Our top-picks are Shurgard, WDP and Xior. SHUR and WDP have ample headroom on their balance sheet to continue their growth track record. WDP is also very cheap on cash earnings metrics vs. peers. Xior can grow and fix its balance sheet at the same time through contributions in kind.
