ORPEA: Press Release

PUTEAUX, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Following the article published today in Challenges, the ORPEA Group (Paris:ORP) provides the following response.

In March 2021, a police search of ORPEA's headquarters took place, followed by the interview of certain Group employees by the investigators.
ORPEA fully cooperated in the investigations conducted and will continue to do so.

As it is not a party to the proceedings, ORPEA does not have access to the file. To the best of the Group's knowledge, the investigations relate to the sale of a retirement home to ORPEA in France in 2008 and more specifically to the tax treatment of this sale by the sellers, who were not part of the Group.

Furthermore, the information available to the Group allows ORPEA to confirm that there was no retro commission.

Therefore, ORPEA and its management are not directly concerned.
