Statutory auditors’ special report on related-party agreements

Agreements relating to the re fi nancing and guaranteeing of the customer loan portfolios taken over from SODERAG by the three SDCs (departmental credit companies) Under the terms of the protocol agreements signed in October and November 1998 between AFD, SODERAG and the three SDCs (SODEMA, SOFIDEG and SODEGA), the SDCs acquired the portion of SODERAG’S customer loan portfolio relating to their department, as SODERAG was in liquidation. In September and October 2000, three additional protocol agreements were signed with the three departmental credit companies, setting out the terms for managing the portfolio of loans from SODERAG. At 31 December 2021, outstanding loans in AFD’s books amounted to €9,300,000 for SODEMA, €12,567,000 for SODEGA and €534,000 for SOFIDEG. Two thirds of the interest and early repayment charges received by the SDCs from customer loans are paid to AFD. The loans’ principal is repaid by the SDCs to AFD to the extent that it is repaid by customers, bearing in mind that the total repayment is limited to the acquisition value of the loans. Lastly, AFD provides the SDCs with guarantees of the outstanding capital of the loans taken over, up to their net book value. In 2021, AFD was paid fees and interest for these loans that amounted to €21,000 from SODEMA, €27,000 from SODEGA. AFD did not receive any remuneration for these loans from SOFIDEG. In 2021, up to €19,528,000 of the credit risk assumed by AFD was covered by a provision for risks for the SODERAG portfolio transferred to the three SDCs, producing a net reversal of €326,000 in 2021.
