AMBITIOUS PLAN TO TRANSFORM FUTUROSCOPE AND
A 30-YEAR LEASE FOR ITS OPERATION
Communiqué de presse



COMPAGNIE DES ALPES REINFORCES STAKE IN
THE COMPANY THAT OPERATES FUTUROSCOPE



Paris, July 3, 2020 – The Vienne Department Council has selected the ambitious project submitted by the
teams of the Société Anonyme du Parc de Futuroscope (SAPF), a company in which Compagnie des Alpes
has a controlling interest and which currently operates the Futuroscope facility, for the implementation
of a new 30-year lease. A transformative project for the current Futuroscope facility and its extension will
be carried within the framework of this new lease. The aim of this project is to strengthen the appeal of
Futuroscope as an exceptional short-stay destination in France and in Europe. The lease should be signed
by the end of September and will go into effect in January 2021.

In late 2019, the Vienne Department launched a bid for the operation of its current Futuroscope site and
for the creation and operation of a new activity zone adjacent to it. The ambitious project submitted by
SAPF, representative of a group alongside the SEM Patrimoniale de la Vienne and Caisse des Dépôts, via the
Banque des Territoires, was chosen. It has two major components:

- The offering of the current Futuroscope site will be reinforced and densified, via an investment plan
totaling €200M over the next 10 years, carried by SAPF. In particular, this plan calls for the deployment
of three major attractions between now and 2025, but also the renovation of outdoor facilities, green
spaces, new animations, and an array of original and diverse restaurant options.

- Next to the historic site, the so-called “Futuroscope 2” project integrates two themed hotels and an
aqua park, completing the experience offered by Futuroscope to its clients. Investments totaling €104M
will be carried by a new company, Futur Resort, jointly held by SEM Patrimoniale de la Vienne and
Banque des Territoires. SAPF will ensure the delegated project management for this new zone and later
for its operation under the terms of a new lease, also for 30 years (to 2050).

Compagnie des Alpes reinforces its stake in the Futuroscope operating company

The Futuroscope site is currently operated by Société Anonyme du Parc du Futuroscope (SAPF), a company
in which Compagnie des Alpes has a 45.55% equity stake. Other equity partners include SEM Patrimoniale
de la Vienne, 38.73% (it is 79.73% owned by the Vienne Department and 14.93% owned by Banque des
Territoires); Banque des Territoires (14,27%), and itself (1.45%).

Within the context of the transformation of Futuroscope, SEM Patrimoniale de la Vienne has expressed its
desire to sell its 20% interest in the operator SAPF. As a result, Compagnie des Alpes and Banque des
Territoires will each acquire an additional 10% in Société Anonyme du Parc du Futuroscope.

When the transaction is completed, SAPF will be 55.55% owned by Compagnie des Alpes; 18.73% by SEM
Patrimoniale de la Vienne; 24.27% by Banque des Territoires, and 1.45% by itself.
