Group Internal Guarantee & Solidarity System

What is the guarantee and solidarity mechanism

• Pursuant to Article L.511-31 of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier), BPCE shall, as the central institution, take any measures necessary to guarantee the Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier), BPCE shall, as the liquidity and solvency of Groupe BPCE.

• Natixis, in its capacity as an institution affiliated with BPCE, is covered by the Groupe BPCE financial solidarity mechanism.

How does it work ?

In the event Natixis encounters financial difficulty,

• BPCE would firstly provide support using its own regulatory capital in accordance with its duty as a shareholder;

• should this prove insufficient, it would use the mutual guarantee fund created by BPCE, which at December 31, 2016 totaled €362.6 million in assets provided jointly by the Banques Populaires and Caisses d’Epargne networks, and which is increased through an annual contribution (subject to the amounts which would be used in the event of a call for funds);

• if BPCE’s regulatory capital and this mutual guarantee fund should prove insufficient, BPCE would call on (in equal proportions) both the Banques Populaires and Caisses d’Epargne networks’ own guarantee funds of €900 million in total and;

finally

• if calls on BPCE’s regulatory capital and these three guarantee funds should prove insufficient, additional sums would be requested from all Banques Populaires and Caisses d’Epargne.

It should be noted that the guarantee funds referred to above consist of a Groupe BPCE internal guarantee mechanism activated at the initiative of the BPCE Executive Board or the French banking regulator, which may request that it be used if deemed necessary.

Consequences

• Financial failings of Natixis SA (like all affiliated French Regulated Credit Institutions, the “FRCI”) would be covered by the aggregate capital of the 2 networks.

• This explains that there is only 1 credit risk and 1 senior debt rating for all the FRCI within the group (excluding CFF with S&P). Bondholders are ultimately protected by the aggregate capital of the 2 networks.
