OVERVIEW OF THE KORIAN GROUP 1.1. MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER "In 2013, we implemented a strategy to transform Korian through the "Korian First" corporate project, with compelling results: • on the Performance pillar, we have kept all of our commitments, exceeding all of our targets: revenue of €1.37 billion (>€1.35 billion), EBITDAR margin of 27.3% (>27%) and a leverage ratio of 2.7x (< 3.0x); • on the Innovation pillar, we have focused our efforts on research, establishing the Korian Ageing Well Institute, and on practical applications to better serve our residents and patients. Our goal is for everyone to benefit from best practices in a business undergoing radical changes; • on the People pillar: with the development of our "Korian employer brand", a new managerial project has been launched to attract, train and retain Group employees and make our industry more and more attractive; • on the Development pillar, we have seen a year marked by great developments, with a view to strengthening our position of European leader of Ageing Well. With the completion of the acquisition of Curanum in Germany on 1 March 2013, the acquisition of Senior Living Group, a key player in the Belgian market, by Medica at the end of September, and the Korian - Medica merger, we now have a solid footing in four important European markets. Moreover, our Group governance has been strengthened by the creation of a Group Executive Committee, comprising mainly Country Chief Executive Officers. We have also strengthened the management team, acquiring international staff to better support our international expansion strategy. In 2014, our efforts will focus on France, on the success of the Korian - Medica integration. We are carrying out this process methodically and at an even pace. A major challenge awaits us, and all teams have already started working to design this common project. The first milestone was reached the day after the Merger, with the appointment of the France Steering Committee and the France Regional Managers. This work will lead to a perfectly defined organisation, which will be operating from 1 January 2015. Our strong international presence and our sound performance put us in a good position to benefit from a number of opportunities in the Ageing Well market. Our target for 2014 is pro forma revenue of €2.5 billion, with a slight increase in our operating profits." Yann Coléou, Chief Executive Officer of Korian - Medica. 1.2. PRESENTATION OF THE MERGER BETWEEN KORIAN AND MEDICA (FUSION- ABSORPTION DE MEDICA PAR KORIAN) 1.2.1. Merger (fusion-absorption) completed on 18 March 2014 On 18 November 2013, Korian announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding on a merger with Medica, with the purpose of creating the European leader of the elderly care sector. The Merger was completed on 18 March 2014. The company's name was changed to "Korian - Medica". The Merger took place under favourable demographic and economic conditions (on the one hand, the population growth and ageing in Europe, and, on the other hand, the purchasing power of the over 65, who will account for more than 54% of the purchasing power in France in 2015), with an ageing and increasingly dependent population. In this environment, the Korian and Medica groups, key players in the market that provides medico-social and healthcare solutions to the growing phenomenon of population ageing and dependency, wished to strengthen their Ageing Well leaders' position. The Merger makes it possible to pool complementary networks and skills. In addition, the new company is now better equipped to develop a genuine growth project to meet the challenges of a burgeoning industry undergoing radical changes. The new entity covers a network comprising Korian - Medica 2013 Registration Document 3 CHAPTER 1.
