Merger with La Poste: a new milestone reached

Improving territorial cohesion and combatting the territorial divide across the entire territory through La Poste and Caisse des Dépôts, local operators serving local authorities, companies and private individuals, and providing them with bank and insurance services suited to their needs using the expertise offered by La Banque Postale, Caisse des Dépôts, Bpifrance and CNP Assurances.

Through contributions from the State and Caisse des Dépôts to La Poste, and from La Poste to La Banque Postale, of their respective shares of 1.11% and 40.87% in CNP Assurances. Caisse des Dépôts would therefore hold the majority of La Poste shares*, and La Banque Postale’s contribution towards CNP Assurance’s share capital - whose multi-partner model is cemented through this project - would increase to 62.13%.

• receive a derogation from the French Securities Regulator (AMF) from the obligation to issue a call for tender for the CNP Assurances shares (Caisse des Dépôts, La Poste and La Banque Postale have already made the request);
• successfully complete the information and consultation procedures involving the employee representative bodies of the entities;
• receive the respective decisions issued by Caisse des Dépôts’ supervisory board, La Poste’s board of directors and La Banque Postale’s supervisory board;
• sign a binding memorandum of understanding;
• receive regulatory authorisations from competent authorities.
