HOMEVI S.A.S. ANNOUNCES THE EXPECTED CLOSING OF THE SARQUAVITAE ACQUISITION


Suresnes, France - February 3, 2017, 11:00am.  HomeVi S.A.S., a société par actions simplifiée organized and existing under the laws of France ("HomeVi"), announces the expected closing of the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of SARquavitae Servicios a la Dependencia S.L. ("SARquavitae") by its 100% owned subsidiary GeriaVi on February 7, 2017.  In connection with the funding of the Acquisition, the proceeds from the November 9, 2017 offerings of €128 million in aggregate principal amount of 67/8% Temporary Senior Secured Notes due 2021 by HomeVi (the "Temporary Senior Secured Notes") and €200 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2021 by HomeVi (the "Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes") are expected to be released from escrow. The Temporary Senior Secured Notes are expected to be exchanged for additional senior secured notes (the "Additional Senior Secured Notes") issued by HomeVi under the indenture dated August 7, 2014, pursuant to which HomeVi issued its existing €480 million 67/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2021 (the "Existing Notes", and together with the Additional Senior Secured Notes and Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes, the "Notes").

HomeVi is expecting to use the gross proceeds of these offerings together with a shareholder equity contribution and cash acquired from SARquavitae's sale of certain of its subsidiaries to fund the acquisition of SARquavitae, refinance certain SARquavitae debt, fund cash on balance sheet and pay certain transaction costs.
