of its undated participating notes (titres participatifs) issued on October 22, 1984, with an amount outstanding of approximately €60 million as of June 30, 2021 (ISIN: FR0000140071) (the “1984 TPs”); and

Each of the General Meetings of the Holders is convened on November 15, 2021 (and in the absence of a quorum, on November 29, 2021 on second meeting), at the time indicated below, at 20 avenue de Paris, 94811 Villejuif, France :

If, for a given note, the proposed amendments are adopted by the relevant General Meeting of Holders on first or second meeting, Crédit Lyonnais will pay to each holder of the 1984 TPs or the 1985 TSDIs (as the case may be), a cash amount in euros equal to 0.05% of the total nominal amount of the 1984 TPs or the 1985 TSDIs (as the case may be) held by such holder, regardless of whether such holder has voted in favour of the amendments presented to the relevant General Meeting of Holders and regardless of whether he did not vote at all.

Subject to the adoption of the resolutions submitted to the vote of the holders, Crédit Lyonnais intends to exercise the early redemption options that would be introduced in the terms and conditions of the 1984 TPs and the 1985 TSDIs following these consultations. The holders of 1984 TPs or 1985 TSDIs will, as the case may be, be formally notified of the implementation of the early redemption of the notes they hold, in accordance with their terms and conditions.

In accordance with the applicable regulation, Crédit Lyonnais has requested and obtained the prior permission of the European Central bank to redeem the 1984 TPs and the 1985 TSDIs early.

For the same reasons as those set out above, Crédit Lyonnais may also decide to redeem all of its perpetual undated subordinated notes issued on January 5, 1987, of which the amount outstanding was approximately €80 million as of June 30, 2021 (ISIN: FR0000165912) (the “1987 TSDIs”), with effect from January 5, 2022, on the terms and conditions and at the price set out in the documentation of these notes. In accordance with the applicable regulation, Crédit Lyonnais has requested and obtained the prior permission of the European Central bank to redeem the 1987 TSDIs early.

GENERAL MEETING OF THE HOLDERS OF UNDATED PARTICIPATING NOTES ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2021

391,505 undated participating notes (titres participatifs perpétuels) issued on October 22, 1984, with a total outstanding amount of approximately €60,000,000

ISIN : FR0000140071

(the “Undated Participating Notes”)

REPORT OF THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

Dear noteholders,

The Undated Participating Notes were issued by the Company on October 22, 1984 pursuant to the terms and conditions set out in an information memorandum relating to the Undated Participating Notes dated September 18, 1984 (the “Terms and Conditions”).

The purpose of this report is to present the draft resolutions submitted by the Managing Director of the Company to your general meeting. This report aims to present the main points of the draft resolutions. It does not claim to be exhaustive, and it is therefore essential that you read the text of the draft resolutions carefully before exercising your voting rights.

In your capacity as holders of Undated Participating Notes, you have been convened to the general meeting of holders of Undated Participating Notes of the Company, which will be held on Monday, November 15, 2021 at 9:00 a.m., to approve a resolution (the "Proposed Resolution") to modify the Terms and Conditions of the Undated Participating Notes to include an early redemption option exercisable at the option of the Company, which will allow the Company to decide at its discretion, at any time, to redeem the Undated Participating Notes at their nominal value (plus interest accrued but unpaid to the date of such early redemption), in accordance with the terms of the proposed amended redemption clause attached to this notice (the "Proposed Amended Redemption Clause"), it being specified that, in the Proposed Amended Redemption Clause, added paragraphs appear underlined and existing unchanged paragraphs do not show any revision marks.
This modification to the Terms and Conditions shall be effective as of the date this resolution is adopted by the noteholders’ general meeting.

If the Proposed Resolution is adopted:

the Company intends to exercise the early redemption option for the purpose of redeeming the Undated Participating Notes in full, in accordance with the terms of the Proposed Amended Redemption Clause (as defined below) attached to this notice; and
subject to the approval of the Proposed Resolution at the noteholders’ general meeting held on first or second meeting, the Company shall pay to each holder a cash amount in euros of 0.05% of the total nominal value of the Undated Participating Notes held by such holder, whether or not such holder voted in favor of the Proposed Resolution at the relevant noteholders’ general meeting or did not vote at all. Such payment will occur on or about November 22, 2021 if the Proposed Resolution is approved at the noteholders’ general meeting held on first meeting or on or about December 6, 2021 if the Proposed Resolution is approved at the noteholders’ general meeting held on second meeting.

Subject to the adoption of the Proposed Resolution, the Company intends to exercise the early redemption option that would be introduced in the Terms and Conditions following the approval of the noteholders.

The Undated Participating Notes do not have a maturity date and the Terms and Conditions do not contain a provision allowing for their early redemption. The amendment of the Terms and Conditions would allow the Company to redeem the Undated Participating Notes early. These instruments are no longer significant to the Company in terms of liquidity.

For the same reasons as those presented above:

the Company would like to proceed with the early redemption of its undated subordinated notes (titres subordonnés à durée indéterminés) issued in 1985, the terms and conditions of which do not currently contain an early redemption option exercisable by the Company, like the Undated Participating Notes. The holders of these notes will therefore also have to decide whether to include in the terms and conditions of the instruments they hold an early redemption option exercisable by the Company, on the same terms and conditions as the option proposed to be included in the Terms and Conditions.
the Company may also decide to redeem all of its undated subordinated notes (titres subordonnés à durée indéterminés) issued on January 5, 1987, with a total outstanding amount at June 30, 2021 of approximately 80 million euros (ISIN: FR0000165912), as from January 5, 2022 and under the conditions set out in the terms and conditions of these notes.

Participation Payment

Subject to the approval of the Proposed Resolution at the general meeting held on first or second meeting, the Company will pay to each noteholder a one-off cash amount in euro equal to 0.05% of the total nominal value of the Undated Participating Notes held by such noteholder (the “Participation Payment”), whether or not such noteholder voted in favor of the Proposed Resolution at the general meeting or did not vote at all.

If the quorum is not met or if the Proposed Resolution is not approved at the general meeting held on first or second meeting, the Participation Payment shall not be due or payable to any noteholder, whether or not such noteholder voted in favor of the Proposed Resolution at the general meeting.

If the Proposed Resolution is approved at the general meeting held on first or second meeting, the right of each noteholder to receive the Participation Payment will be evidenced by the entries of the name of such noteholder in the books of the relevant Account Holder (as defined below) on the relevant Record Date (as defined below).

Such right is personal to such noteholder and will not be transferred if the related Undated Participating Notes are transferred (the Undated Participating Notes will trade ex-rights to payment).

Subject to the conditions listed above, the payment of the Participation Payment is expected to take place on or about November 22, 2021 if the Proposed Resolution is approved at the general meeting held on first meeting (or on or about December 6, 2021 if the Proposed Resolution is approved at the general meeting held on second meeting).

“Record Date” means 00:01 a.m. on the date of the general meeting, i.e. Monday November 15, 2021 at 00:01 a.m. (Paris Time) for the general meeting held on first meeting and Monday November 29, 2021 at 00:01 a.m. (Paris Time) for the general meeting held on second meeting.

The legally required documents and the articles of association have been sent and/or made available to you within the required deadlines.

Mr. Michel MATHIEU, Managing Director

Schedule 2
Proposed Amended Redemption Clause

It is specified that, as the terms and conditions of the Undated Participating Notes are written in French, only the French version of the proposed amended redemption clause will be inserted in the terms and conditions. The English translation of the proposed amended redemption clause reproduced below is for information purposes only.

« Redemption :

The notes are redeemable only in the event of liquidation of the Company, at a price equal to par.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at any time, subject to obtaining the prior approval of the Relevant Regulator and/or the Relevant Resolution Authority (if such approval is required), and provided that such redemption is not prohibited by the Applicable Rules, redeem early in cash, all of the notes, provided that it has notified the holders of such notes no later than five (5) business days and no earlier than ten (10) business days prior to the date of such redemption. Each note shall be redeemed on the date specified in such notice at its nominal value plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of redemption.

The notice to be sent to the holders of the notes (whether the notes are held in registered or bearer form) (i) will be delivered to Euroclear France, Euroclear or Clearstream Luxembourg and any other clearing system with which the notes are cleared, (ii) will be published in the Bulletin des annonces légales obligatoires (BALO) and (iii) as long as the notes are admitted to trading on the regulated market of Euronext Paris and as long as the rules of this market so require, will be published in a daily newspaper with general circulation in France. If one of the above-mentioned methods of delivery or publication is not practicable, the notice will be deemed validly given to the holders of the notes if it is published in another recognized English-language daily newspaper with general circulation in Europe.

Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given (a) in the case of delivery to a clearing system, on the date of such delivery, and (b) in the case of publication in a daily newspaper or the BALO, on the date of such publication. In the event that delivery to the clearing systems and publication in a daily newspaper or BALO occur on different dates, notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of the first delivery or publication (as the case may be).

Any notice validly given to the holders of the notes pursuant to this clause shall be irrevocable and the Company shall be obligated to redeem the notes on the redemption date specified in the notice. Once redeemed, the notes will be cancelled and may not be reissued or resold.

For the purposes of this clause:

The Noteholders’ General Meeting, acting in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, Articles L.228-47 and L.228-51 of the French Commercial Code and the quorum and majority rules applicable to general meetings under French law, having taken formal note of the report of the managing director of the Issuer :

(i) takes note of the fact that the functions of primary representative of the masse and alternate representative of the masse have been vacant since 28 January 2001;

(ii) takes note of the absence of any incompatibility (incompatiblité) of the company DIIS Group, candidate to the function of primary representative of the masse and of alternate representative of the masse, to exercise their function, in accordance with the provisions of articles L.228-48 and L.228-49 of the Commercial Code;

(iii) appoints, with immediate effect, as from the adoption of this resolution by the Noteholders’ General Meeting, DIIS Group, a company whose registered office is located at 12 rue Vivienne, 75002 Paris, France, represented by Sylvain Thomazo, as primary representative of the masse (the " Appointed Primary Representative") and DIIS Group, a company whose registered office is located at 12 rue Vivienne, 75002 Paris, France, represented by Sandrine d’Haussy, as alternate representative of the masse (the "Appointed Alternate Representative"), it being specified that the Appointed Alternate Representative will replace the Appointed Primary Representative if the latter resigns or is unable to perform his duties;

(iv) decides that the Appointed Primary Representative shall receive a remuneration of five hundred euros (500.00€) per annum, excluding tax, for the performance of its duties, it being specified that if the Appointed Alternate Representative is called upon to perform the duties of primary representative in place of the Appointed Primary Representative, the compensation of five hundred euros (500.00€) per annum, excluding tax, shall be due on a pro rata basis from the first day from which it performs the duties of primary representative.

Proposed Resolution No. 2
Authorization of the modification of the Terms and Conditions of the Undated Subordinated Notes in order to insert an early redemption option at par exercisable at the Issuer's option

to modify the Terms and Conditions of the Undated Subordinated Notes to include an early redemption option exercisable at par, at the option of the Issuer, which will allow the Issuer to decide at its discretion, at any time, to redeem the Undated Subordinated Notes at their nominal value (plus interest accrued but unpaid to the date of such early redemption), in accordance with the terms of the proposed amended redemption clause attached to this notice (the "Proposed Amended Redemption Clause"), it being specified that, in the Proposed Amended Redemption Clause, added paragraphs appear underlined and existing unchanged paragraphs do not show any revision marks.

This modification to the Terms and Conditions shall be effective as of the date this resolution is adopted by the Noteholders’ General Meeting.

_______________________________

This notice is issued by the Issuer in accordance with the Terms and Conditions and the rules applicable to the meeting of general meetings of holders of Undated Subordinated Notes.

Rationale for the proposed amendments

In accordance with Articles 484 and 486 of Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013 (as amended, the "CRR"), the Undated Subordinated Notes will lose, as of January 1, 2022, the benefit of the grandfathering clause that allowed them to be recognized as Tier 2 capital.

Subject to the adoption of the Proposed Resolution No. 2, the Issuer intends to exercise the early redemption option that would be introduced in the Terms and Conditions following the consultation of the Noteholders.

In accordance with the applicable regulation, the Issuer has requested and obtained the prior permission of the European Central bank to redeem early the Undated Subordinated Notes.

Documents available for inspection by Noteholders

In accordance with articles L.228-69 and R.228-76 of the French Commercial Code, each Noteholder or its representative, as the case may be, has the right, as from the date hereof, to consult or make a copy of the texts of the Proposed Resolutions and the managing director’s report which will be presented at the Noteholders’ General Meeting, both of which will be available for inspection by the Noteholders:

at the central headquarters of the Issuer (20, avenue de Paris, 94811 Villejuif, France); and
on the website of the Issuer (https://www.lcl.fr/decouvrir-lcl/informations-financieres).

this notice of meeting.

Participation Payment

Subject to the approval of the Proposed Resolution No. 2 at the Noteholders’ General Meeting held on first or second meeting, the Issuer will pay to each Noteholder a one-off cash amount, in euros, equal to 0.05% of the total nominal value of the Undated Subordinated Notes held by such Noteholder (the “Participation Payment”), whether or not such Noteholder voted in favor of the Proposed Resolution No. 2 at the Noteholders’ General Meeting or did not vote at all.

If the quorum is not met or if the Proposed Resolution No. 2 is not approved at the Noteholders’ General Meeting held on first or second meeting, the Participation Payment shall not be due or payable to any Noteholder, whether or not such Noteholder voted in favor of the Proposed Resolution No. 2 at the Noteholders’ General Meeting.

If the Proposed Resolution No. 2 is approved at the Noteholders’ General Meeting held on first or second meeting, the right of each Noteholder to receive the Participation Payment will be evidenced by the entries of the name of such Noteholder in the books of the relevant Account Holder (as defined below) on the relevant Record Date (as defined below).

Such right is personal to such Noteholder and will not be transferred if the related Undated Subordinated Notes are transferred (the Undated Subordinated Notes will trade ex-rights to payment).

Subject to the conditions listed above, the payment of the Participation Payment is expected to take place on or about November 22, 2021 if the Proposed Resolution No. 2 is approved at the Noteholders’ General Meeting held on first meeting (or on or about December 6, 2021 if the Proposed Resolution No. 2 is approved at the Noteholders’ General Meeting held on second meeting).

General

Quorum and Majority

In accordance with the Terms and Conditions and articles L.228-65 and L.225-98 of the French Commercial Code, the Noteholders’ General Meeting may deliberate validly on first meeting only if Noteholders present or represented hold at least one-fifth (1/5) of the principal amount of the Undated Subordinated Notes then outstanding. On second meeting, no quorum shall be required.

Notice of any adjourned meeting for lack of quorum shall be given in the same manner as the present notice of the original Noteholders’ General Meeting.

In accordance with article L.228-65-II of the French Commercial Code, the Proposed Resolutions shall be adopted by a two-thirds (2/3) majority of votes held by Noteholders attending the Noteholders’ General Meeting (on first or second meeting) or represented thereat.

Voting Procedures

In the absence of specific provisions in the Terms and Conditions, and in accordance with article L.228-67 of the French Commercial Code, each Noteholder is entitled to one vote for each Undated Subordinated Note held by such Noteholder.

Any Noteholder entitled to more than one vote shall not be required to cast all such votes in the same manner.

Each Noteholder has the right to participate in the Noteholders’ General Meeting in person, by proxy or by correspondence.

A Noteholder may, by executing an instrument in writing, appoint any person (a “Proxy”) to act on its behalf in connection with the Noteholders’ General Meeting, provided, however, that, in accordance with article L.228-62 and L.228-63 of the French Commercial Code, a Noteholder shall be prohibited from appointing certain persons, including, without limitation, the directors, auditors and employees of the Issuer, as Proxy.
If a Noteholder wishes to vote on the Proposed Resolutions and the Undated Subordinated Notes it owns are held by a financial intermediary such as a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trustee, custodian or other nominee, such Noteholder should contact such financial intermediary and instruct it to vote in respect of its Undated Subordinated Notes on his/its behalf, pursuant to the procedures of that custodian.
If a Noteholder wishes to vote on the Proposed Resolutions but does not wish to attend the Noteholders’ General Meeting in person or appoint a Proxy to do so on its behalf in accordance with (1) above, such Noteholder may vote by correspondence. Mail voting forms must be received no later than three clear days prior to the Noteholders’ General Meeting, i.e., no later than November 11, 2021. Unless otherwise specified by the Noteholder, a valid voting form sent within the specified time period shall remain valid in the event of a second meeting.

Voting requirements

Noteholders are entitled to sell all or part of their Undated Subordinated Notes at any time. However, only the Undated Subordinated Notes recorded at the Record Date give the Noteholders the right to participate in the vote. If a Noteholder assigns its Undated Subordinated Notes before the Record Date, the Issuer will invalidate or modify accordingly the confirmation of book entry provided to such Noteholder by its Account Holder prior to the Record Date. The relevant Account Holder shall notify such assignment to the Issuer with all necessary information.

The Centralization Agent—being the financial intermediary in charge of keeping the Issuer's registers—will issue the confirmation of book entry of Noteholders who hold Undated Subordinated Notes in registered form and who wish to participate in the Noteholders’ General Meeting without such Noteholders being required to perform any other formality with respect to such confirmation of book entry.

In accordance with article R. 228-71 of the French Commercial Code, a Noteholder having submitted a completed mail voting or proxy form will not be prohibited from disposing all or part of such Noteholder’s Undated Subordinated Notes, provided, however, that if such disposal takes place before the date of the Noteholders’ General Meeting, the Issuer will invalidate or modify accordingly such mail voting or proxy form prior to the date of the Noteholders’ General Meeting. The relevant Account Holder shall notify such disposal to the Issuer with all necessary information.

to appoint a primary representative of the masse of holders of Undated Subordinated Notes and an alternate representative of the masse of holders of Undated Subordinated Notes and to decide the remuneration that they will be entitled to receive in this respect (the "Proposed Resolution No. 1") ; and
to modify the Terms and Conditions of the Undated Subordinated Notes to include an early redemption option exercisable at the option of the Company, which will allow the Company to decide at its discretion, at any time, to redeem the Undated Subordinated Notes at their nominal value (plus interest accrued but unpaid to the date of such early redemption), in accordance with the terms of the proposed amended redemption clause attached to this notice (the "Proposed Amended Redemption Clause"), it being specified that, in the Proposed Amended Redemption Clause, added paragraphs appear underlined and existing unchanged paragraphs do not show any revision marks. This modification to the Terms and Conditions shall be effective as of the date this resolution is adopted by the noteholders’ general meeting (the "Proposed Resolution No. 2")

Due to the lack of a primary representative of the masse and of an alternate representative of the masse, you will be invited, in your capacity as holders of Undated Subordinated Notes, to appoint a new primary representative of the masse and a new alternate representative of the masse and to decide the remuneration that they will be entitled to receive in this respect.

If the Proposed Resolution No. 2 is adopted:

the Company intends to exercise the early redemption option for the purpose of redeeming the Undated Subordinated Notes in full, in accordance with the terms of the Proposed Amended Redemption Clause (as defined below) attached to this notice; and
subject to the approval of the Proposed Resolution No. 2 at the noteholders’ general meeting held on first or second meeting, the Company shall pay to each holder a cash amount in euros of 0.05% of the total nominal value of the Undated Subordinated Notes held by such holder, whether or not such holder voted in favor of the Proposed Resolution No. 2 at the relevant noteholders’ general meeting or did not vote at all. Such payment will occur on or about November 22, 2021 if the Proposed Resolution No. 2 is approved at the noteholders’ general meeting held on first meeting or on or about December 6, 2021 if the Proposed Resolution No. 2 is approved at the noteholders’ general meeting held on second meeting.

Subject to the adoption of the Proposed Resolution No. 2, the Company intends to exercise the early redemption option that would be introduced in the Terms and Conditions following the approval of the noteholders.

The Undated Subordinated Notes do not have a maturity date and the Terms and Conditions do not contain a provision allowing for their early redemption. The amendment of the Terms and Conditions would allow the Company to redeem the Undated Subordinated Notes early. These instruments are no longer significant to the Company in terms of liquidity.

For the same reasons as those presented above:

the Company would like to proceed with the early redemption of its undated participating notes (titres participatifs perpétuels) issued in 1984, the terms and conditions of which do not currently contain an early redemption option exercisable by the Company, like the Undated Subordinated Notes. The holders of these notes will therefore also have to decide whether to include in the terms and conditions of the instruments they hold an early redemption option exercisable by the Company, on the same terms and conditions as the option proposed to be included in the Terms and Conditions.
the Company may also decide to redeem all of its undated subordinated notes (titres subordonnés à durée indéterminés) issued on January 5, 1987, with a total outstanding amount at June 30, 2021 of approximately 80 million euros (ISIN: FR0000165912), as from January 5, 2022 and under the conditions set out in the terms and conditions of these notes.

Participation Payment

Subject to the approval of the Proposed Resolution No. 2 at the general meeting held on first or second meeting, the Company will pay to each noteholder a one-off cash amount in euro equal to 0.05% of the total nominal value of the Undated Subordinated Notes held by such noteholder (the “Participation Payment”), whether or not such noteholder voted in favor of the Proposed Resolution No. 2 at the general meeting or did not vote at all.

If the quorum is not met or if the Proposed Resolution No. 2 is not approved at the general meeting held on first or second meeting, the Participation Payment shall not be due or payable to any noteholder, whether or not such noteholder voted in favor of the Proposed Resolution No. 2 at the general meeting.

If the Proposed Resolution No. 2 is approved at the general meeting held on first or second meeting, the right of each noteholder to receive the Participation Payment will be evidenced by the entries of the name of such noteholder in the books of the relevant Account Holder (as defined below) on the relevant Record Date (as defined below).

Such right is personal to such noteholder and will not be transferred if the related Undated Subordinated Notes are transferred (the Undated Subordinated Notes will trade ex-rights to payment).

Subject to the conditions listed above, the payment of the Participation Payment is expected to take place on or about November 22, 2021 if the Proposed Resolution No. 2 is approved at the general meeting held on first meeting (or on or about December 6, 2021 if the Proposed Resolution No. 2 is approved at the general meeting held on second meeting).

The legally required documents and the articles of association have been sent and/or made available to you within the required deadlines.

Mr. Michel MATHIEU, Managing Director

Schedule 2
Proposed Amended Redemption Clause

It is specified that, as the terms and conditions of the Undated Subordinated Notes are written in French, only the French version of the proposed amended redemption clause will be inserted in the terms and conditions. The English translation of the proposed amended redemption clause reproduced below is for information purposes only.

« Redemption, Subordination:

The undated subordinated notes are redeemable only in the event of liquidation of the Company, at a price equal to par. In this case, they will be redeemed only after all preferential and unsecured creditors have been paid in full, but before the repayment of the participating loans granted to the Company and the participating notes issued by the Company. These undated subordinated notes will rank pari passu with the other subordinated loans already issued by the Bank, if any, in proportion to their amount.

The notice to be sent to the holders of the undated subordinated notes (whether the notes are held in registered or bearer form) (i) will be delivered to Euroclear France, Euroclear or Clearstream Luxembourg and any other clearing system with which the notes are cleared, (ii) will be published in the Bulletin des annonces légales obligatoires (BALO) and (iii) as long as the notes are admitted to trading on the regulated market of Euronext Paris and as long as the rules of this market so require, will be published in a daily newspaper with general circulation in France. If one of the above-mentioned methods of delivery or publication is not practicable, the notice will be deemed validly given to the holders of the notes if it is published in another recognized English-language daily newspaper with general circulation in Europe.

For the purposes of this clause:

« Applicable Rules » means :
- the laws, regulations, requirements, guidelines and policies relating to capital adequacy then in effect in France including, without limitation to the generality of the foregoing, those regulations, requirements, guidelines and policies relating to capital adequacy then in effect, and as applied by, the Relevant Regulator; and/or
- the laws, regulations, requirements, guidelines and policies giving effect to (i) MREL and (ii) the principles set forth in the FSB TLAC Term Sheet or any successor principles (including, without limitation, the CRR II and the BRRD II).
« BRRD II » means Directive (EU) 2014/59 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 establishing an EU-wide framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms, as amended and/or restated including by Directive (EU) 2019/879 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019.
« CRR II » refers to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms, as amended and/or restated including by Regulation (EU) No 2019/876 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019.
« FSB TLAC Term Sheet » means the document entitled « Principles on Loss-absorbing and Recapitalisation Capacity of G-SIBs in Resolution » dated 9 November 2015 published by the Financial Stability Board, as amended from time to time.
« MREL » refers to the “minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities” for banking institutions under the BRRD II (as transposed in France), set in accordance with Article 12 of the SRMR and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2016/1450 of 23 May 2016 or any successor principles issued from the Applicable Rules.
« Relevant Regulator » means the European Central Bank and any successor or replacing authority hereto, or other authority having primary responsibility for the prudential oversight and supervision of the Company.
« Relevant Resolution Authority » means the Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution (ACPR), the Single Resolution Board (SRB) and/or any other authority entitled to exercise or participate in the exercise of the Statutory Loss Absorption Powers from time to time (including the Council of the European Union and the European Commission when acting pursuant to Article 18 of Regulation (EU) No 2019/877 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019).
« SRMR » refers to Regulation (EU) No 806/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 July 2014 establishing uniform rules and a uniform procedure for the resolution of credit institutions and certain investment firms in the framework of a single resolution mechanism and a single resolution fund, as amended by Regulation (EU) No 2019/877 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 as regards the loss-absorbing and recapitalisation capacity of credit institutions and investment firms which applies from 28 December 2020.

Any refusal by the Relevant Regulator and/or the Relevant Resolution Authority to grant its prior approval (if such approval is required) shall not constitute a default by the Company.
