PRESENTATION OF NATIXIS’ TWO MAIN SHAREHOLDERS

Natixis benefits from its affiliation to two powerful mutual banking groups - the Banque Populaire Group and the Caisse d’Epargne Group - which give it access to a large retail banking customer base.

Natixis’s two main shareholders - the Banque Populaire Group and the Caisse d’Epargne Group - are mutual banking organizations that occupy leading positions in the French banking sector.
As a mutual banking organization, each group includes:

• a retail banking network that includes a group of mutual banks (20 Banque Populaire banks and 28 Caisse d’Epargne banks at December 31, 2006) that are owned directly or indirectly by cooperative shareholders (“sociétaires”) (each group has over 3 million cooperative shareholders), as well as by Natixis through CCIs, which represent 20% of their share capital( ) ;

• central body that coordinates and supervises the activities of its group (BFBP and CNCE), the capital of which is held by the retail banks ;

• a number of entities that provide specialized products either directly or through the retail banking networks, such as mutual funds, consumer finance and mortgage lending and insurance products, as well as financial services for corporate and institutional customers, distributed either directly or through the retail banking networks; and

• a system of mutual financial support.

The Caisse d’Epargne Group also includes a body known as the Fédération Nationale des Caisses d’Epargne, which is an institution for coordination and concertation among the Caisses d’Epargne, as well as relations with cooperative shareholders.
