<body>Aubert & Duval (A&D) has raised a €51.1 million green loan insured by Bpifrance Assurance Export, acting on behalf of, in the name of and under the control of the French State, under the Strategic Projects Insurance (“GPS”) scheme. This loan is used to finance A&D’s investment in a 6,000-ton press and related industrial equipment at Pamiers (Ariège). The financing was set up by Crédit Agricole CIB, acting as ESG coordinator, sole mandated lead arranger, lender and agent of the Facility. This investment will notably allow the production in France of the most critical parts for the aeronautics market, in particular the structural and engine parts of the next generation of aircraft. On a constant activity perimeter, the project allows Aubert & Duval to decarbonize its business, with a fully electrified furnace fleet for heating rooms. The support provided by the public authorities through the implementation of a loan covered by a GPS and the granting of grants from France 2030 plan by ADEME and Bpifrance, made it possible to launch this project, which is crucial for the entire European aeronautics sector.  The Strategic Projects Insurance is the insurance product of Bpifrance Assurance Export, enabling the financing of operations carried out by a French company and of strategic interest to the French economy in France and abroad. GPS helps Aubert & Duval invest in a new tool for the production of high-performance parts that meet several critical challenges in the aeronautics sector and facilitate this sector to be more sustainable and competitive for export. Crédit Agricole CIB, one of the world’s leading and recognized bank in financings backed by export credit agencies and a leader in sustainable finance, assisted Aubert & Duval in structuring and implementing this green loan structured according to the LMA (Loan Market Association) green loans principles. This is the first GPS to be granted as part of a “corporate” financing package for one of the major French players in the aeronautics sector. Crédit Agricole Group’s teams, through Caisse Régionale Centre France, historic bank of Aubert & Duval, and Crédit Agricole CIB, have combined their expertise and know-how to provide a solution addressing Aubert & Duval's challenges in this project. Etienne Galan, Chairman of Aubert & Duval:“The investment in this new 6,000-ton press press allows us to confirm Aubert & Duval’s position as a European leader in cutting-edge metallurgical solutions for our clients. The government’s support through this Strategic Project Insurance scheme enabled us to obtain a loan from Crédit Agricole CIB and to commit this major investment, in a context of an increase in our activities that generates a significant cash flow requirement.” André Gazal, Global Head of ECA & Multilateral Financing Solutions at Crédit Agricole CIB: “Crédit Agricole CIB is proud to support Aubert & Duval as part of their investment in Pamiers ensuring the future production of critical parts for the aeronautics market. As a bank committed to sustainable finance, our teams have structured a green loan supported by Bpifrance Assurance Export under the Strategic Projects Insurance. This first GPS granted for “corporate” financing is an emblematic example of our desire to support projects that contribute to the European sovereignty of the aeronautics, defense and energy industries as well as to the decarbonization challenges of our clients.” Denis Le Fers, Chief Executive Officer of Bpifrance Assurance Export: “Benefiting from a Strategic Projects Insurance, the financing supported by Bpifrance Assurance Export enables Aubert & Duval to invest in an innovative production tool for the manufacture of critical parts, and essential for the European aeronautics sector. This state-of-the-art equipment, unique in Europe, meets the national challenges of reindustrialization and industrial sovereignty. Bpifrance Assurance Export, acting on behalf of the State, and more broadly the Bpifrance Group are fully mobilized to support this initiative.” Read the press Release (in French)  <a @class="link-pdf" @href="https://www.aubertduval.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/CP-AD-leve-un-credit-vert-de-511-ME-au-titre-du-dispositif-de-la-Garantie-des-Projets-Strategiques-Mai-2025.pdf">here</a>  </body>

<body>Crédit Agricole CIB has been acting as the Global Coordinator, Structuring Bank, and Green Loan Coordinator in a financing package for SSAB and its transformation project to a state-of-the-art fossil-free mill in Luleå, Sweden.  The project is key to enable SSAB to re-position SSAB Europe as a maker of premium products, to lower production costs. It will helps reduce CO2 emissions from the operations and therefore Sweden’s emissions by 7%.<subtitle-block>Three green loan financing facilities up to EUR 2.3 billion  </subtitle-block>The financing is structured by Crédit Agricole CIB and backed by the Swedish National Debt Office (Riksgälden) and the Italian Export Credit Agency (SACE), as well as the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB). SSAB decided on the EUR 4.5 billion investment in the new steel mill in Luleå during 2024. Now, SSAB has signed three green loan financing facilities up to EUR 2.3 billion with commitments of financing matching the capex profile of the project. It includes SEK 15 billion loan supported by the Swedish National Debt Office’s (“Riksgälden”) under the “Credit guarantees for green investments” program and EUR 808 million loan backed by the Italian Export Credit Agency, SACE. The other loan is provided by NIB. The loans are structured under the Green Loan Principles, in line with SSAB’s Green and Sustainable Linked Finance Framework. <subtitle-block>Reducing by 7% of Sweden’s current CO2 emissions  </subtitle-block>The new mill will have a capacity of 2.5 million tonnes a year with two electric arc furnaces, advanced ladle metallurgy and an integrated rolling mill. The investment also includes a complex for cold rolling, advanced galvanizing, as well as continuous annealing, which is key to re-position SSAB Europe as a maker of premium products. Other advantages include lower costs, shorter lead times, as well as better ability to manage swings in demand. The new steel mill can use a flexible mix of fossil-free sponge iron, pig iron and recycled scrap. When the new mini-mill is completed, SSAB will close the current blast furnace-based production system, which will largely remove the CO2 emissions from the own operations in Luleå. The reduction corresponds to 7% of Sweden’s current CO2 emissions.<a @href="citation 1">citation 1</a> SSAB Press Release available <a @href="https://www.ssab.com/en/news/2025/04/ssab-secures-green-financing-of-eur-23-billion">here</a></body>

<body>Different from conventional green bonds, Crédit Agricole CIB launched a ‘solidarity-based’ structure in this solution, which binds proceeds of the note with ecological protection and governance actions in China. This innovative product also features a closed-loop product lifecycle (fund raising – ecological investment – environmental returns) to offer institutional investors high-quality assets with both financial and environmental benefits.As part of the proceeds, Crédit Agricole CIB will work with institutional investors to carry out extensive tree planting projects in Inner Mongolia and Ningxia in cooperation with the Million Tree Project, a project focuses on mitigating climate change by planting trees in China. The project is expected to plant 22,400 trees to restore ecologically fragile regions, which aims to deliver:  <ol><li>Environmental benefits: Directly improve ecology in the designated areas through vegetation, windbreaks and sand fixation, to contribute to China's ‘dual carbon’ goals and biodiversity conservation roadmap;  </li><li> Social benefits: Raise public awareness on environmental protection with measurable carbon-absorbing indicators and engage communities in sustainable livelihood programmes.</li></ol>The Bank’s Green Bond Framework was independently evaluated by the globally renowned ESG assessor ISS Corporate Solutions who issued a second party opinion certificate to ensure transparency and traceability of capital investments.<a @href="Q1">Q1</a><a @href="Q2">Q2</a><a @href="Q3">Q3</a><a @href="Q4">Q4</a></body>
