The Issuer is licensed as a credit institution in France and as such subject to the resolution regime introduced by the EU Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive of 15-May-14. This regulation, among others, gives resolution authorities, in case the Issuer is failing or likely to fail, the power to amend the key terms of the Notes (including but not limited to the maturity date or the payment of interest), to write-down the claims of unsecured creditors of a failing credit institution and to convert certain unsecured debt claims (including Notes) to equity.
