It is also reminded that, by letter received on 7 December 2023 (see the threshold crossing notification 223C2024 dated 11 December 2023), completed by a letter received on 8 December 2023, the concert comprising Concert’O, Nexstone Capital and Mat Immo Beaune has declared that it has crossed upwards, on 4 December 2023, the thresholds of 5% and 10% of the capital and voting rights of the Company and holds 7,670,545,736 ORPEA shares representing the same number of voting rights, i.e. 11.86% of the capital and voting rights of the Company, specifying that “this crossing of thresholds results from the subscription to a share capital increase of the Company (see in particular the prospectus approved by the AMF under number 23-465 dated 10 November 2023 and the press release of ORPEA dated 30 November 2023)”.

On this occasion, Concert’O has declared that it has crossed upwards the thresholds of 5% of the capital and voting rights of the Company.
