C. Qualifications in the audit report
The audit reports do not contain any qualifications with respect
to Crédit Agricole CIB's historical financial information.
D. Principal risk factors related to the guarantor
Crédit Agricole CIB is mainly exposed to the following
categories of risks in the conduct of its business:
1) Credit and counterparty risks, which include the Guarantor's
credit risk, the Guarantor's counterparty risk in connection with
its market activities or the Guarantor's credit risk in connection
with its securitization transactions on behalf of clients;
2) Financial risks, which include liquidity risk, market risk,
foreign exchange risk, risk of holding equities, issuer's risk and
global interest rate risk; and
3) Operational risks and associated risks, which include fraud,
human resource risks, legal and reputational risks, compliance
risks, tax risks, information systems risks, providing of
inappropriate financial services (conduct risk), risks of failure
of business processes including credit processes, or the use of a
model (model risk), as well as potential financial consequences
related to the management of reputational risk.
3.4 What are the main risks specific to securities?
There are risk factors which are material for the purpose of
assessing the risks related to the Notes, including the
following:
1) The trading price of the Notes may fall in value as rapidly
as it may rise and Noteholders may sustain a total loss of their
investment;
2) The Notes may have no established trading market when issued,
and one may never develop. If a market does develop, it may not be
very liquid. Although application is expected to be made for the
Notes to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main
market and to be admitted to the Official List of the London Stock
Exchange, there is no assurance that the Notes will be so admitted
or that an active trading market will develop. Accordingly, there
is no assurance as to the development or liquidity of any trading
market. Illiquidity may have an adverse effect on the market value
of the Notes;
3) The implementation in France of the EU Bank Recovery and
Resolution Directive could materially affect the rights of the
Noteholders, the price or value of their investment in the Notes
and/or the ability of the Guarantor to satisfy its obligations
under the Notes;
4) French insolvency law could have an adverse impact on
Noteholders seeking repayment in the event that the Issuer, the
Guarantor or its subsidiaries were to become insolvent and could
have a material adverse effect on the market value of the
Notes;
5) The risk relating to the unsecured nature of the Notes and
the Guarantee, the absence of negative pledge and debt restrictions
with respect to the Issuer and the Guarantor, all of which could
have an adverse effect on the market value of the Notes;
6) The risks associated with the provisions of Regulation (EU)
2016/1011 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA
(the UK Benchmarks Regulation), which may have an adverse effect on
the performance of the Underlying or lead to its disappearance and
as a consequence, could have an adverse effect on the value or
liquidity of, and return on, the Notes;
7) The optional redemption feature of the Notes might negatively
affect the market value of the Notes. The Noteholders may not
receive the total amount of the capital invested;
8) The Auto-call Redemption Amount and the Final Redemption
Amount of the Notes are dependent upon changes in the market value
of the Preference Share Underlying, which could adversely affect
the market value of the Notes. In addition, the Early Redemption
Amount and the Final Redemption Amount may be less than the nominal
amount of the Notes and the holders of Notes may lose all or part
of the amount of the principal invested;
9) An investment in the Notes does not confer any legal or
beneficial interest in the Preference Share or any Preference Share
Underlying or any voting rights, right to receive dividends or
other rights that a holder of the Preference Share or any
Preference Share Underlying may have. Potential losses in value of
the Notes cannot be compensated by other income; and
10) The Notes are not principal protected and investors are
exposed to the performance of the Preference Share which are in
turn exposed to the performance of the Preference Share Underlying;
accordingly, they risk losing all or a part of their investment if
the value of the Preference Share does not move in a positive
direction.
