About CREDIT AGRICOLE CORPORATE AND INVESTMENT BANK

Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (CACIB) is the corporate and investment banking subsidiary of Crédit Agricole S.A., operating as a French société anonyme headquartered in Montrouge, near Paris, with an international network across Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. Formed in 2004 through the combination of Crédit Agricole Indosuez and the investment banking activities of Crédit Lyonnais and rebranded from Calyon in 2010, the firm serves large corporates, financial institutions, and public-sector entities. Its core activities span capital markets (rates, credit, FX, commodities, and equity-related derivatives), investment banking (debt and equity capital markets, advisory, and securitisation), and structured finance (project and infrastructure, real assets including aviation, shipping and real estate, export and trade finance, and leveraged/acquisition finance), alongside transactional banking services for multinational clients. CACIB is a credit institution licensed in France and is directly supervised within the euro area’s Single Supervisory Mechanism, with resolution planning under the European framework; it reports regulatory capital and liquidity ratios in line with CRR/CRD requirements and maintains an investment-grade rating profile at the entity and group level. Funding is sourced from diversified wholesale markets and group channels, and the bank issues various unsecured instruments subject to bail-in under EU resolution rules. Risk exposures are concentrated in corporate credit, structured finance, and market activities, with controls based on internal models, stress testing, collateral, and counterparty risk management; results are sensitive to interest-rate, credit-spread, and sector cycles, as well as to regulatory and legal developments across jurisdictions. CACIB participates in sustainable finance frameworks commonly used in project and corporate financing and is active in arranging green, social, and sustainability-linked transactions in line with group climate policies; availability of products varies by country and client type. As with other global banks, the group has disclosed past regulatory settlements and continues to adjust compliance and conduct processes. CACIB is wholly owned by Crédit Agricole S.A., and while benefiting from group integration and shared services, it operates under entity-level capital, liquidity, and resolution constraints that are relevant to creditors and counterparties.
