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 Securities, including the following:

1)    The trading price of the Securities may fall in value as rapidly as it may rise and Noteholders may sustain a total loss of their investment;

2)    The Securities are not principal protected before maturity and investors are exposed to the risk of decrease of the market value of the securities if redeemed early; accordingly, they risk losing all or a part of their investment if the market value does not move in a positive direction.

3)    The Securities may have no established trading market when issued, and one may never develop. If a market does develop, it may not be very liquid. Illiquidity may have an adverse effect on the market value of the Securities;

4)    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 Securities and or the ability of the Guarantor to satisfy its obligations under the Securities;

5)    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 Securities;

6)    The risk relating to the unsecured nature of the Securities 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 Securities.
