PRESS RELEASE
Paris, 26 December 2018
CNP Assurances announces the establishment of a Euro Medium Term Notes
programme
CNP Assurances announces that its new Euro Medium Term Notes (EMTN) programme
(the "Programme") received visa from the Autorité des marchés financiers
(AMF) on 21 December 2018.
The establishment of the Programme will strengthen CNP Assurances financial
flexibility allowing it to seize opportunities on the bond market more rapidly
through issuances of subordinated or senior notes, by means of public or
private placements and in different currencies. It is fully in line with the
Group's financing strategy aiming at constantly seeking to diversify its
investor base, both in terms of geographies and currencies -as evidenced by the
bonds it placed in EUR, USD and GBP- and to adapt its capital structure on a
regular basis taking into account its growth prospects in Europe and Latin
America, Solvency 2 own funds requirements and Moody's and Standard & Poor's
rating agencies criteria.
The EUR7 billion amount of the Programme is consistent with the current nominal
of CNP Assurances' outstanding subordinated notes. As a reminder, the maximum
amount of bonds issues currently authorized by the Board of Directors is EUR1.5
billion per year(1). The securities to be issued shall be admitted to trading
on Euronext Paris.
The base prospectus is available on the AMF's website (www.amf-france.org) and
on CNP Assurances' website (www.cnp.fr, heading "Credit Rating and Debt
Issuances").
(1) Decision of the Board of Directors of 21 February 2018 updated on an annual
basis.
