Pierre et Vacances (Paris:VAC) (the "Group” or the "Company”) launched today an offering of ORNANEs due October 1, 2019 (the "Bonds”) in an initial nominal amount of approximately €100 million, which may be increased up to a maximum nominal amount of approximately €115 million in case of full exercise of the 15% over-allotment option granted to BNP PARIBAS, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank and Natixis, acting as Joint Lead Managers and Joint Bookrunners, at the latest on February 10, 2014.

The net proceeds of the issuance of the Bonds will be used to refinance partially the existing debt of the Company, primarily by redeeming the Company's bonds convertible into and/or exchangeable for new or existing shares, bearing an interest rate of 4% a year and due to mature on October 1, 2015 (the "2015 OCEANEs") the outstanding amount of which as of today corresponds to the initial issued amount, i.e., €114,999,933.10 corresponding to 1,507,010 2015 OCEANEs. The remainder of the proceeds, if any, will be used to finance general corporate purposes.

This ORNANEs issue is aligned with the Group’s willingness to preserve its financial flexibility while maintaining diversified funding sources as started in 2011 with the issue of the 2015 OCEANEs.

The French Autorité des marchés financiers (the "AMF”) granted visa n° 14-031 dated 4 February, 2014 on the prospectus. The Bonds will be offered to the public in France only from 5 February, 2014 to 7 February, 2014, 5.00 pm (Paris time) inclusive.

The nominal value per Bond has been set at €36.42, representing a premium of approximately 30% over Pierre et Vacances’ reference share price¹ on the regulated market of Euronext in Paris ("Euronext Paris").

The Bonds will bear interest at an annual nominal rate of 3.50%, payable semi-annually in arrear on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on October 1, 2014. For the period from and including February 12, 2014, the issue date, up to and including September 30, 2014, the coupon payable on October 1, 2014 will be calculated on a prorata temporis basis.

The Bonds will be issued at par on February 12, 2014, the settlement and delivery date, and will mature and be redeemed at par on October 1, 2019 (or on the following business day if that day is not a business day).
