On April 9, 2013, BPCE established a medium-term notes (“Notes”) program in the United States within the framework of a scheme defined in Section 3(a) (2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “3(a) (2) Program”). The maximum total nominal amount of the program is $10 billion. It was proposed to change the limits of the Agreement concerning the guarantee: notes issued under the 3(a) (2) Program cannot exceed a total • nominal amount of $6 billion per year; of which a maximum of $3 billion may not be loaned by BPCE • to Natixis (so where applicable, based on Natixis’ funding needs, the proceeds from the Notes issued can be loaned by BPCE to Natixis at shorter maturities than those of the Notes). On February 19, 2014, the Supervisory Board approved the signing of an amendment to the Agreement aimed at changing the sub-limits called for in Article 4 of the Agreement. Furthermore, the proceeds loaned to Natixis can be made available by BPCE for shorter maturities than those of the notes issued, depending on Natixis’ funding needs.
