NIE aims to carry the commitments related to the operating real estate located in France of the Natixis, BPCE entities and their subsidiaries. In this context, NIE leases buildings and sublets them to the aforementioned entities. Following the sale of NIE, the Natixis integrated entities, which are sub-tenants of NIE, will continue to occupy the same leased areas in the same buildings. In view of the provisions of IFRS 10, IFRS 15 and IFRS 16, it is therefore considered that, for these areas, Natixis will retain control of the related rights-of-use and lease liabilities. Accordingly, only the portion of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities the control of which has been deemed to be transferred and representative of the areas occupied by entities outside Natixis’ scope of consolidation will be recognized in the lines of “Non-current assets held for sale” and “Liabilities related to non-current assets held for sale”. Prior to consolidation, the parent company financial statements of companies included in the scope of consolidation are restated, if necessary, to bring them into line with Natixis’ accounting policies described below. The impact on the balance sheet and income statement of internal transactions carried out between fully-consolidated entities is eliminated. The internal profits or losses of entities consolidated using the equity method are eliminated to the extent of Natixis’ percentage interest in the joint venture or associate. 2.8 In the context of Article 41 of the Amending Finance law for 1997 (No. 97-1239 of December 29, 1997), amended by Article 121 of the Amending Finance law for 2008 (No. 2008-1443 of December 30, 2008), Article 5 of the Amended Finance law for 2014 (No. 2014-1655 of December 29, 2014) and the agreement signed with the French State on December 24, 2019, Natixis manages certain public procedures on behalf of the French State, mainly consisting of loans and grants to foreign States conferred within the framework of Public Development Aid, non-concessional loans to foreign States, grants to the “Fund for Private Sector Aid and Studies” and the stabilization of interest rates for export credit guaranteed by the State. The related transactions, some of which may be guaranteed by the State, are recognized separately in the financial statements. The State and other related creditors have a specific right over the Natixis assets and liabilities allocated to these public procedures. The bank’s assets and liabilities relative to these operations are identified on the balance sheet under each of the headings concerned with these operations.
