Furthermore, within the context of a strategy of gradually refocusing on the commercial real-estate sector, during the first quarter of 2012, TERREÏS signed protocols in relation to the disposal of residential assets in Paris for €22.5 million, at an average price of €9,889/m2.



Prospects for 2012: continued opportunistic growth dynamic

TERREÏS intends to dispose of its provincial property to exclusively focus on Paris and its immediate surroundings. Therefore, from this year, TERREÏS is set to dispose of approximately 60% of its provincial property for an amount exceeding €50 million. In this way, TERREÏS will be ready to seize any new opportunities in Paris during the second half of the year.


Moreover, TERREÏS will continue to sell off its residential property whenever appropriate. The company is set to pursue the gradual refocusing of its assets in larger commercial real-estate property in Paris (over 80% of its assets are already located in Paris).


Over the shorter term, and based on its current assets, the rents of TERREÏS are set to exceed €56 million over the whole year, posting a new significant growth in 2012 compared to 2011.



Dividend of €0.57 per share (+16.3%)

The General Meeting of Shareholders on 10 May 2012 will decide to distribute a dividend of €0.57 per share for the 2011 financial year, up 16% compared to last year. An interim dividend of €0.27 was already paid in September 2011, and the €0.30 balance will be released on 22 May 2012.


Next event: General Meeting of Shareholders, 10 May 2012.
