Negotiation Agreement relating to Natixis selling the Securities & Financial Guarantees (CECG), Leasing (Natixis Lease), Factoring (Natixis Factor), Consumer Finance (Natixis Financement) and Securities Services (EuroTitres Department) businesses of its Specialized Financial Services division to BPCE. At its September 12, 2018 meeting, the Board of Directors authorized the signing of a Negotiation Agreement relating to the sale by Natixis of the Securities & Financial Guarantees, Leasing, Factoring, Consumer Finance, and Securities Services businesses of its Specialized Financial Services division to BPCE.
