Sainte Hélène du Lac (Savoie, France), 22 February 2016 (after market close) MND: LST awarded renovation contract for Paris Montmartre funicular The MND Group (FR0011584549, MND), an innovative developer of mountain and urban mobility solutions, is listed on the Paris Euronext regulated market, compartment C. MND today announces that its subsidiary LST, a cable transport specialist and reputed ropeway designer and constructor, has been awarded the contract to renovate the Montmartre funicular railway by Paris public transport operator RATP. For LST, this is a major icon in the world of urban cable transport, as the funicular is the busiest in the world, carrying around four million passengers a year. The three-year contract covers the complete overhaul of the two machineries of the funicular lines and major inspections of the two cars. One of the many challenges involved in this highly technical renovation operation is to ensure continuous service during the work, which will be fit into a very narrow time frame between the end of the Montmartre harvest festival in October and the start of the Christmas holidays. The project therefore requires tight planning of on-site operations. Roland Didier, MND’s Deputy General Manager, made the following comments: “We are particularly proud to have won this iconic contract thanks to the efficient technical solution we were able to offer. It will strengthen our positioning in the urban cable transport sector, a hive of opportunities for which MND Group has renewed its product range and developed its innovative CABLINE system. Gaining the trust of a particularly demanding operator like RATP for a major line in its network proves that MND is regarded as a key player in the booming environment-friendly transport market, and brings us closer to our targets." 1 Find all the information you need on www.mnd-bourse.com About MND Group: The MND Group has been based at Sainte Hélène du Lac (Savoie), in the very heart of the French Alps, since 2004. MND is one of the few market players to have a global range of products and services dedicated to the development, equipping and protection of ski resorts, leisure areas and other mountain infrastructure. Buoyed by its industrial expertise in the mountain cable transport market and by innovative technology protected by worldwide patents, the MND Group has strong growth potential in the urban cable public transport field, where it offers an unobtrusive alternative mode of urban transport. With five manufacturing plants in Europe, eight distribution subsidiaries and 30 distributors worldwide, the MND Group has 330 employees and almost 3,000 customers in 49 countries.

EN-URB-SG-FICHE RÉFÉRENCE Funiculaire De Montmartre
Independent Safety Assessment mission: Montmartre funicular Customer: RATP (operator) Place of execution: Paris (France) Project duration: 2008 Team: 1 Project Manager and 2 Assessors PROJECT’S DESCRIPTION: The Montmartre funicular, operated by RATP, has been commissioned in the summer of 1900. Since its inauguration, it has been rebuilt and renovated several times, the last one on June 1 st , 1991. The current funicular is electric and carries more than 2 million passengers each year. The journey takes a little over a minute; it is an automatic inclined lift that requires no driver. Originally, the funicular used a water traction system, with tanks that were filled and emptied according to the corresponding passenger load. SCOPE OF WORK: CERTIFER has carried out an ISA (French Qualified Body) mission according to the decree STPG 2003-425 of May 9th, 2003 concerning the safety of guided public transport It concerns the Return into Service Project for Cabin 1 and modification of Cabin 2 of the Montmartre Funicular. The mission covers the overall system in accordance with the amended decree 2003-425 (guided public transport systems). The installation is also a part of the ski lifts, concerned by decree 2003-426. This is the subject of a specific EOQA opinion. CERTIFER’s mission consisted in verifying that: • Each identified risk has been adequately mitigated and the reduction or elimination measures have been justified and verified • The implementation complies with the technical and regulatory standards specified in the Preliminary Safety File • The results of the tests performed before commissioning demonstrate the adequacy of the implementation to the requirements (functional and system safety) • All operating and maintenance recommendations contained in the safety analyses and verified by CERTIFER have been considered • The results provide the overall level of safety required for the system .
