CEGEDIM S.A.

Cegedim S.A. ("Cegedim”) hereby announces its invitation to eligible holders ("Qualifying Holders”) to tender (each tender, a "Tender”) all or part of its outstanding 7.0 % Bonds due 2015 (the "2015 Notes”) held by Qualifying Holders for purchase for cash (the "Tender Offer”), as further described in the tender offer memorandum dated April 7, 2014 (the "Tender Offer Memorandum”).

The purpose of the Tender Offer is to proactively manage Cegedim's debt maturity profile, in light of current market conditions.

The Tender Offer will expire at 4:00 p.m. CET, on April 11, 2014, unless extended, amended, re-opened or earlier terminated by Cegedim (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the "Expiration Deadline”). Qualifying Holders must validly tender their Notes, and not validly withdraw their Notes, at or prior to the Expiration Deadline in order to receive the Repurchase Price (as defined below) and Accrued Interest (as defined below), if any, on the Payment Date (as defined below).

Subject to a minimum tender of €50,000 in principal amount of 2015 Notes per Qualifying Holder, Cegedim will pay for 2015 Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer, a price (the "Repurchase Price”) to be determined at or around 2:00 p.m. CET on April 14, 2014 in the manner described in the Tender Offer Memorandum by reference to a yield equal to the sum of the rate of interest on the OBL 2.25 % due April 2015 (Bundesobligation) (ISIN: DE0001141570) and a repurchase spread of 50 bps, together with any accrued and unpaid interest (the "Accrued Interest”) up to (but not including) the payment date, which is expected to be April 16, 2014, or as soon as practicable thereafter (the "Payment Date”).

Cegedim reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) not to accept any Tenders, (ii) not to purchase any Notes or (iii) to modify in any manner any of the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer (including, but not limited to, the Repurchase Price).

The Tender Offer is conditioned upon, and is being made in conjunction with, an issuance by Cegedim of euro-denominated notes (the "Additional Notes”) on the same terms and conditions as Cegedim’s €300 million 6.75% Notes due 2020 issued on March 20, 2013.

Cegedim will purchase all 2015 Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer and pay all fees and expenses in connection with the offering of the Additional Notes and the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer is also subject to certain general conditions as set forth in the Tender Offer Memorandum. Cegedim reserves the absolute right to waive any and all conditions.

None of Cegedim or any other party involved in the Tender Offer makes any recommendation as to whether Qualifying Holders should tender any or all of their Notes. This announcement is not an offer to purchase any securities or a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. The Tender Offer is being made solely by means of the Tender Offer Memorandum.
