This transformation was inspired by profound changes in our clients’ goals. For personal or professional reasons, they are becoming more international, with increasingly clear requirements, and their wealth, which often comes from entrepreneurial ventures, requires new forms of expertise. We have strengthened our position in our historical markets and furthered our development in the world’s highest-growth regions for wealth management by capitalising on our structure, which is organised around seven geographic regions. Our skills have been reorganised, while our best practices and resources have been pooled to offer our products and services worldwide. Our development strategy is now backed by a network that is capable of serving our clients, wherever they are and wherever they go. The strategy relies on an exclusive array of services showcasing the various forms of expertise we have gained over our 140-year history, along with the capabilities of Crédit Agricole, one of the top banking groups in Europe. This naturally includes services that handle all of the issues that specifically affect entrepreneurs. In 2015, in an environment of profound structural, regulatory and financial changes characterised by major challenges, a market with unprecendently low interest rates, abundant liquidity, and high volatility, our choices have proven their worth. Indeed, Indosuez Wealth Management maintained its momentum in France and abroad, with assets under management rising by €8bn to €109.6bn at end-2015. This demonstrates the merits of our organisational structure, the quality of our products and services, and the talents of our experts. These assets appeal to exacting clients who often have assets in several countries and are seeking added value as well as excellent service. Our net banking income (NBI) totalled €768.9 million, a 10% increase over the previous year. Despite low interest rates that negatively impacted our margins, our gross operating income (GOI) rose by 20% to €173.2m. Against this backdrop, we can be proud of the progress we have made and can look to the future calmly and with confidence. We a re t h u s u n i q u e l y w e l l p l a c e d t o m e e t t h e challenges facing our business. Our strenghts are now represented by our powerful single brand, across all markets. It is a brand that evokes our history and our place within the Crédit Agricole group, a leader in a broad range of activities. It reflects the pooling of all our expertise. It is closely associated with our meticulously built international network, our expertise, and our high addedvalue range of products and services. It describes our bank, which operates on a human scale, and guarantees a deeply relationship-focussed culture aligned with Crédit Agricole’s values Christophe Gancel Jean-Yves Hocher 07 INDOSUEZ WEALTH MANAGEMENT ACTIVITY REPORT MANAGEMENT REPORT Our 140-year history 1875 1959 Founding of Banque de l’Indochine Founding of Banque de Suez after the nationalisation of the Suez Canal 1966 Creation of Banque de Suez et de l’Union des Mines 1975 Creation of Banque Indosuez 1996 Banque Indosuez joins Crédit Agricole Group 2011 Founding of the Crédit Agricole Private Banking holding company 2016 All Wealth Management activities are brought together under the Indosuez Wealth Management brand CFM Indosuez Wealth Management in Monaco 08 2015 Annual Report l CFM IND OSUEZ WEALTH MANAGEMENT Our key figures ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT Highly positive trend for inflows. 93,300 101,600 2013 2014 109,600 2015 (€M) NBI GOI NBI ( €M) up by 10%.

These other services cover four main areas: precision banking services, credit solutions, special access to the Crédit Agricole group’s full range of expertise, and Wealth & Beyond events, where we share insights beyond the strict boundaries of traditional wealth management services. All these circles complement one another and give meaning to our motto: Architects of Wealth. 1 2 STRUCTURING WEALTH INVESTING WEALTH 3 BANKING AND BEYOND 1 Solidity, heritage and local roots are our foundations 2 A human dimension that is the source of our added value 3 Our Wealth Management expertise in all its forms The 3 circles grouping our products and services: • Structuring Wealth • Investing Wealth • Banking and Beyond 11 INDOSUEZ WEALTH MANAGEMENT ACTIVITY REPORT MANAGEMENT REPORT ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL ENVIRONMENT By Paul Wetterwald, Chief Economist A ll in all, 2015 was a year of positive global growth and low inflation, despite the episodes of sharp volatility that affected the financial markets in the closing months, and despite the strong disparities between regions. The succession of central bank meetings that punctuated the end of the year also provided a clear indication of the divergence of monetary policies. means that the Fed is unlikely to raise key rates at each of its eight monetary policy meetings in 2016. The beginning of December saw the Governor of the ECB elect to take interest rates deeper into negative territory, cutting the rate it applies to commercial bank deposits from -0.2% to -0.3%, and to extend its bondbuying programme until March 2017. In today’s currency wars, the dollar and the Swiss franc came out strongest over the year, with the euro declining from 1.21 to 1.09 against the USD and from 1.20 to 1.09 against the Swiss franc. On the other side of the Atlantic, the Federal Reserve embarked upon on the first cycle of monetary tightening in the US for over 10 years on 16 December (increasing its benchmark rate from 0.25% to 0.50%). The cycle is expected to be moderate, both in scope and pace, which 12 2015 Annual Report l CFM IND OSUEZ WEALTH MANAGEMENT Japan and China, on the other hand, will maintain an accomodative stance, with the first continuing to pursue an inflation target of 2%, and the second looking to ensure a soft landing for activity with a slight decrease in the yuan if necessary. The diverging monetary policy trajectories is partly explained by the performance in the different segments of the bond market. At the bottom end of the range are emerging bonds (impacted by the strength of the US dollar and monetary tightening in the US) and USDdenominated high yield bonds (which are exposed to oil prices), with peripheral euro zone bond yields faring best. The differences in performance are impressive: -15% in USD for emerging debt and +23% in euro for Greek debt. Comparing the performance of bond markets and equity markets suggests that the time has not yet come for the “Great Rotation” that will see bond investors switch to equities. Although the world’s stock markets lost 3.9% (in USD) in 2015, a number of pockets of growth could be found, including tech stocks (the Nasdaq gained 7.1%), most euro zone markets (with Euro Stoxx increasing 7.4% and the FTSE MIB in Italy climbing 15.8%) and Japan (the Nikkei gained 11%). However, this performance comes at a price: higher volatility. Outlook for 2016 Our central scenario hinges on a slight acceleration in global GDP, which will grow by more than 3%. In the USA, growth in 2016 is expected to reflect that of the global economy (+0.2 percentage points). In Europe and Japan, it should be twice as high, i.e. 0.4 percentage points, albeit from a lower starting point. Next year should see India stay ahead of China, with growth expected to reach 7.5% as against 6.5% for its neighbour. Last but not least, Russia and Brazil will fight to put an end to inflation. Against this backdrop, relative economic momentum is likely to penalise the USA and work to the advantage of not just Japan and the euro zone but also the emerging countries (particularly China and India). The magic number of 2% headline inflation should also be within reach for the world’s main mature economies. Energy and food costs should lead to a rebound in inflation, while the price of other goods and services are expected to drive indices down. With this in mind, we expect to see a benign structural shift in inflation. This essentially moderate inflation scenario should allow central banks looking to increase their key rates to do so with due restraint, particularly in the USA and the United Kingdom. While future debt market trends are more difficult to ascertain given the gradual improvement in yields, our scenario clearly does not include a debt market crash. Furthermore, yields on high-yield bonds, currently close to 9% in USD, offer a certain level of protection against future defaults. Stock markets are expected to perform well at the end of 2016: historically speaking, when the Federal Reserve increases its key rate gradually, i.e. not at each one of its monetary policy (FOMC) meetings, US equity prices improve in the year that follows the start of the rate hiking cycle. By contrast, if the increase is too rapid, US market performance is negative. In more general terms, while the current abundance of liquidity will boost the equity markets, this common denominator will not absolve the investor of responsibility for making discerning choices. Lastly, the appreciation of the US dollar is expected to be limited. Today’s foreign exchange markets tend to react in anticipation of central bank decisions rather than when those decisions are actually implemented, which partly explains the appreciation of the greenback this year whilst waiting for the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates. As such, we do not expect the dollar to achieve parity with the euro and anticipate an upper limit of around 1.15 next year. 13 INDOSUEZ WEALTH MANAGEMENT ACTIVITY REPORT MANAGEMENT REPORT THE ENVIRONMENT IN MONACO by Marie-Odile Joris, Corporate Secretary T he fundamentals are solid, and public finances are sound. The no debt, no structural deficit model is the Monaco model being preserved. 2015 will be the fourth consecutive year that has ended with a surplus budget right in line with what the Principality has had since public accounts were improved in 2012. Finance and insurance, science and technology, and administrative and support services are the largest economic sectors. Along with the real estate industry as a whole, they contribute to wealth generated, and together, probably made up more than one-third of Monaco's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2015.* With total deals coming in close to €1.8 billion, the real estate sector is being driven by sharp increase in sales of new properties, in particular the sale of the “Tour Odéon” and “La Petite Afrique” residential buildings and the luxury hotel “Le Méridien.” The Principality has fit its economy into a Mediterranean arch that stretches from the Italian Riviera to the Côte d'Azur in France. Every day, thousands of professionals come to work in Monaco, in an exchange that is profitable for each of the countries. In addition, 120 nationalities 14 2015 Annual Report l CFM IND OSUEZ WEALTH MANAGEMENT from all continents are bringing their experience and expertise to Monaco's economy. All of the country's energies are mobilised to preserve economic growth, invent new sources of development, and adapt the Monegasque model to the world's challenges. Major initiatives should be given a high profile among the government's framework projects. Offshore extension, a six-hectare eco-district at l’Anse du Portier, 60,000 m 2 of housing over the next 10 years, and the new Princess Grace Hospital (CHPG), construction of which should last 10 years without affecting continuity of medical care, illustrate the complexity of these major projects in a small territory. Monaco has a dozen long-term ongoing major initiatives worth nearly one-third of the State's annual budget. The appeal of such excellent facilities and so many cultural and sporting events all year long make the Principality of Monaco a preferred destination for business and tourism. In terms of business travel, 2015 was a very good year for the Grimaldi Forum, and 2016 also looks very promising, with a packed events calendar. significant issues which must be maintained in the context of negotiations underway with the European Union. *The GDP figures for 2015 are not yet available from the Monaco Institute of Statistics and Economic Research (IMSEE). Pursuant to the agreements that are compliant with the European Union's and the OECD's international standards on information exchange, Monaco is to sign a Protocol for amending the "Agreement between the European Community and the Principality of Monaco providing for measures equivalent to those laid down in Council Directive 2003/48/EC." The signature and entry into force of the protocol, after ratification, will lead to a new phase: beginning in 2018, Monaco will automatically exchange, with each of the Member States, information collected as from 1 January 2017 on every reportable account of their respective residents. "The art of living – in an exceptional setting," that is what makes the Monegasque model special. These are 15 INDOSUEZ WEALTH MANAGEMENT ACTIVITY REPORT MANAGEMENT REPORT Annual Report CFM INDOSUEZ WEALTH MANAGEMENT THE REFERENCE BANK IN MONACO As the number-one bank employer in Monaco, CFM Indosuez Wealth Management is the only bank on the market that can offer financial solutions to private investors, businesses, institutions, and professionals. Created in 1922 by some of Monaco's leading families, some of whom are still stakeholders, CFM Indosuez Wealth Management is a 70%-owned subsidiary of Crédit Agricole Group. This backing by one of the world's top banking groups, paired with our deep roots in Monaco, is an essential guarantee of strength and sustainability for our customers, shareholders, employees, and partners. Within the group, our Company is fully integrated in the Wealth Management Business, Indosuez Wealth Management. Our 2700 experts in Wealth Management, 360 of whom are at CFM Indosuez Wealth Management in Monaco, create customised solutions for our customers in a country where we operate or by multibooking. Together, they have a single calling: to help families and entrepreneurs create, cultivate, protect, and pass on their wealth. 16 2015 Annual Report l CFM IND OSUEZ WEALTH MANAGEMENT 17 INDOSUEZ WEALTH MANAGEMENT ACTIVITY REPORT MANAGEMENT REPORT MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTORS Gilles Martinengo, Chief Executive Officer 2 015 was marked by two major successes for CFM Indosuez Wealth Management. The first success was financial, with NBI up 8% and net company profit of €47 million, up 16.8% over one year, the highest profit the bank has ever achieved. This performance signals the trust our customers and shareholders have in us, and we are thankful for it. It is the result of an effective risk policy and good cost control. It is the reward for intensive cooperative work by all of CFM Indosuez Wealth Management's teams, who have kept our customers' interests at the core of all their actions, in all their lines of business, throughout the year. The strength and the sharp increase in these results are all the more remarkable because they were achieved in an environment of zero, even negative, rates, which prevailed in most of the major economies 18 2015 Annual Report l CFM IND OSUEZ WEALTH MANAGEMENT Yves Barsalou, Chairman in 2015. While this climate did significantly affect the wealth management business in general, CFM Indosuez Wealth Management successfully grew its customers’ assets under management by more than 5% over 2014. This growth was made possible thanks to the performance and prudence of the experts in our trading room, the largest in Monaco or anywhere on the Côte d'Azur, and thanks to the successful development of our businesses and the net inflow of new capital. We would especially like to thank the employees of CFM Indosuez Wealth Management, whose commitment and momentum have been extremely valuable in achieving these very good results against the current backdrop. The second success is the transformation we completed in 2015, with all entities in the Wealth Management segment of Crédit Agricole Group. This Our bank has all the advantages to meet the challenges it will be facing in 2016 and in the years to come. transformation culminated with the adoption of the global brand Indosuez Wealth Management on 18 January 2016.

With this new brand, our Company has opened a new page in its history, which is still grounded in a strong commitment to our customers, everywhere in the world.

It is based on the five pillars of our business: Accessibility and responsiveness: Our roots are local, so our advice is always market-relevant.

Our development strategy will continue in our natural territory in the Principality of Monaco and across target geographic areas, suited to our positioning and the strategy of Indosuez Wealth Management around the world.

The quality of service provided to private investors and entrepreneurs was especially highly rated by our international clients, both residents and non-residents of Monaco. The impact of refocusing our activities with European Union and OECD residents was rewarded by the steady inflow of capital into all zones covered by our teams. The strong performance of Wealth Management also reflects our teams’ ability to provide genuinely personalised investment solutions. In addition, the effective coordination between the different entities of Indosuez Wealth Management represents a real medium-term competitive advantage. We witnessed the positive effects of this during the last financial year, particularly in the European market. The range of investment solutions available from Wealth Management Throughout 2015, the teams at CFM Indosuez Wealth Management and Indosuez Wealth Management around the world worked on developing investment solutions that take into account all of our clients' asset management expectations. This approach, in which all asset classes and all forms of investment are permitted, is directly linked to the changes taking place in the Wealth Management market. Our range of products and services has evolved over the course of the year so as to fully meet the expectations of our private clients, entrepreneurs in particular, in terms of both risk management and the ability to customise the solutions on offer. For FY 2015, we prioritised three strategic areas to get the most from difficult market conditions: opening up to a broader investment universe, excellence in analyses and recommendations on the various financial markets, and accounting for the legal and entrepreneurial aspects of the strategies deployed for our clients. By concentrating on “real economy” assets (private equity and real estate) for the investments they look after, our teams have been able to offer CFM Indosuez Wealth Management clients higher returns than many financial securities without significantly increasing portfolio volatility. Meanwhile, our real estate experts draw on their unrivalled knowledge of the local markets (Monaco and Côte d'Azur) to provide clients with customised, concrete solutions for financing their acquisitions, a regularly updated real estate watch, analysis of property investors’ needs, and guidance and referral to targeted professional partners who are known to our Bank. However, investment solutions focused on the equity markets have not been neglected. In a climate dominated by historically low interest rates, the teams at CFM Indosuez Wealth Management's trading desk, the largest in Monaco, in partnership with Indosuez Wealth Management's teams around the world, have chosen an approach based on a flexible, open-ended equilibrium among asset classes. As a result, the strategies implemented by our discretionary management teams were adjusted in response to the fluctuations that affected all asset classes and the major global markets due to the combined effect of the economic slowdown in China, the planned rise in US rates and persistently weak commodities. The quality and performance of these strategies is attested to in the six funds managed by CFM Indosuez Gestion, which cover all of the usual themes. The research and analysis capabilities available to the clients of CFM Indosuez Wealth Management seem to be the main factor behind the growth in our investment advisory business over the course of the year. The recommendations we issued in 2015, in terms of both stock picking and foreign exchange strategies, generated considerable added value despite difficult market conditions. Our expertise in identifying and following up on investment opportunities also fed into our range of structured products, particularly in the equity markets, 23 INDOSUEZ WEALTH MANAGEMENT ACTIVITY REPORT enabling us to capture the markets’ upside potential while at the same time optimising the portfolios’ risk profiles. We also focused on the legal, fiscal and entrepreneurial challenges that are decisive in the success of the investment strategies devised for our Bank's clientèle. The asset-management and financial engineering experts at CFM Indosuez Wealth Management provide customised guidance according to each client's nationality, residence, and legal, fiscal, and financial situation. External management companies, monitored by a dedicated team, receive all of the bank's appraisals and thus optimise the quality of their advice and services. Likewise, the rollout of Corporate Finance services during 2015 met the needs of our entrepreneurial clients, in addition to our dedicated services for Monegasque companies and entrepreneurs doing business in Monaco since 2009. Business leaders are showing an ever-growing interest in their bank's ability to take a holistic approach to their wealth management issues. Bearing in mind the need for caution and responsiveness, the priorities identified by our teams are to continue to enhance our product and service ranges, and to strengthen our market presence, to the benefit of every one of our clients. The bank's activities CFM Indosuez Wealth Management's assets increased by +5.1% compared to 2014, growth which was achieved through a combination of net inflows and positive market effects. Cash assets remained stable at high levels, especially for demand deposits (+24%). Securities assets, meanwhile, gained +7% in one year, with decidedly brisk activity on funds and equities. Life Insurance deposits increased +12% compared with 31.12.2014. Outstanding credit risks on the balance sheet are still in a trend of continuous growth (+9.3%) over one year. The main driver of this growth is the very low rate environment. Access to the skills, expertise and worldwide network of Crédit Agricole Group is an extremely valuable asset that sets our Wealth Management businesses apart. The strong performance of Wealth Management also reflects our teams’ ability to provide genuinely personalised investment solutions. In addition, the effective coordination between the different entities of Indosuez Wealth Management represents a real medium-term competitive advantage. We witnessed the positive effects of this during the last financial year, particularly in the European market. 24 2015 Annual Report l CFM IND OSUEZ WEALTH MANAGEMENT MANAGEMENT REPORT Annual financial statements The balance sheet total amounted to €4,332 million at 31 - the distribution of an interim dividend paid at end December 2015, an increase of €462 million (+12%) over December 2014, on 2014 earnings, of €19 million, 31 December 2014. reduced the amount allocated to retained earnings by the same amount at the end of 2014.

The financial statements and company documents, approved by your Board of Directors, were provided to us within the legal deadlines. • The balance sheet total amounted to €4,332,027,721 • The income statement shows a net profit of €47,109,906 Our assignment, which consists in issuing an opinion on these financial statements, was performed in accordance with professional standards, and by applying the rules relating to the audit of institutions governed by banking regulations. This assignment required us to review the transactions performed by your company during the 2015 financial year, the balance sheet at 31 December 2015, the income statement for the financial year, and the notes for the period ended on that date. These documents were drawn up in accordance with legal specifications, in the same form as in the previous financial year, and using the same methods. We checked the various items that make up the assets and liabilities, together with the methods adopted to value those items, and to differentiate between expenses and income. Our review was performed in accordance with generally accepted accounting review standards, which provide that our work is planned and performed so as to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An accounting review includes the examination of the evidence provided for the amounts and information contained in the financial statements via spot checks, as well as an assessment of the accounting policies used, and the main estimates made by your directors. In our opinion, the financial statements at 31 December 2015, as appended to this report and submitted for your approval, present a fair view of your Company’s asset and liability position at 31 December 2015 and of the net income for the financial year then ended, in accordance with legal specifications. We also checked the financial information contained in your Board of Directors’ report, the proposed appropriation of earnings, and compliance with the legal and statutory provisions governing the operation of your Company. We have no observations to make.
