PRESS RELEASE

 HIB acquires a furnished residential building located on rue Joseph II, 1000
Brussels

Home Invest Belgium has acquired a residential building located on rue Joseph II 1000 Brussels.
The building, in very good condition, comprises 15 furnished apartments with certain services, on a total surface
area of 1,341 m². The ground floor is occupied by two commercial premises. The purchase price, excluding
charges, is €3,500,000.00 €, and the gross yield is higher than 8 %.
The building is located near the Résidence Quartier Européen also owned by Home Invest Belgium. The close
proximity of the two buildings will optimise the management thereof.

This acquisition is part of the Home Invest Belgium pure player investment strategy for residential or mixed-use
buildings and thus dovetails with the development policies defined by the SIR. It also allows the company to
increase its share of residential properties in its portfolio.


 Home Invest Belgium SA is the first Belgian REIT to obtain the SIR status
The extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of September 25, 2014 has unanimously approved the
change in the status of the company from REIT to SIR, Public Regulated Real Estate Company (in accordance
with the law of 12 May 2014 on regulated real estate companies). Home Invest Belgium immediately benefits
from the SIR status as from this date, as no right of withdrawal has been exercised.

Home Invest Belgium is pleased to benefit from this new status, which will allow it to continue to exercise its
role as an investor in residential real estate in the interests of the company and its shareholders. HIB would also
like to thank its shareholders for their support throughout this status change process.

On 27 August 2014, the FSMA confirmed the definitive appointment of Sophie Lambrighs as executive director
and effective leader of the company.
