SFL - Dividend



    Regulatory News:

    Societe Fonciere Lyonnaise (Paris:FLY):

    At its meeting of 4 April 2008, the Board of Directors of Societe
    Fonciere Lyonnaise, under the chairmanship of Mariano Miguel, decided
    to recommend paying a total 2007 dividend of EUR 3.20 per share at the
    Annual General Meeting to be held on 23 May 2008.

    In light of the interim dividend of EUR 1.10 per share paid in
    November 2007, the final dividend will amount to EUR 2.10 per share
    and will be paid on 30 May 2008.

    During the meeting, the Board of Directors examined the appraisal
    value of the Company´s portfolio, which stood at EUR 3,981 million
    including transfer costs at 31 March 2008, down by a slight 3.6% since
    31 December 2007. This change reflects the moderate increase in the
    discount rates applied by the valuers to SFL´s high quality
    properties.

    Lastly, the Board of Directors noted the decision announced by
    Colonial, SFL´s majority shareholder, to sell its entire 84% interest
    in SFL. The SFL Board´s Committee of Independent Directors, which was
    informed of Colonial´s plans the day before the announcement, will
    continue to carry out its responsibilities.

    With an exceptional portfolio of properties valued at nearly EUR 4
    billion net of transfer costs, essentially located in the Paris
    Central Business District, SFL is a preferred vehicle for investors
    wishing to invest in the Paris office and retail property market. As
    the leading player in this market, the Group is firmly focused on
    pro-actively managing high-quality property assets. SFL has elected to
    be taxed as an SIIC since 2003.
