Crédit Agricole now stands at 29.3% of Banco BPM’s share capital

Crédit Agricole S.A. (“Crédit Agricole”) has notified the Italian Authority and Banco BPM SpA (“Banco BPM”) that it has crossed the 25% threshold and currently stands at 29.3% of Banco BPM’s share capital.

This additional stake has been accumulated through market purchases of shares and a derivative instrument.

Crédit Agricole has a long-standing and deeply rooted presence in the Italian market and remains committed to supporting the Italian economy. The increase in ownership is consistent with Crédit Agricole’s strategy as a long-term investor and partner of Banco BPM in its development. This also further strengthens the solid industrial partnerships in consumer finance and in non-life, personal protection and creditor protection insurance, and highlights Crédit Agricole’s appreciation of Banco BPM’s intrinsic qualities, i.e. a solid business franchise with positive financial prospects.

The additional stake is expected to have a total impact on Crédit Agricole’s CET 1 ratio of

c. -35bps as of end of Q2 2026.
