15 Message from the General Management of the Indosuez Wealth Management Group In 2022, in an environment with mixed visibility, marked by armed conflict at the doorstep of Europe and a sudden paradigm shift characterised by rising inflation and interest rates and the resulting high volatility of the markets, we achieved solid results, and which for some metrics have reached unparalleled levels. The strong growth in operating income and high level of net income illustrate the relevance of our strategy, enabling us to strengthen the resilience of our business model month after month. While consolidating its fundamentals, our Bank has also proven its usefulness to its clients and society and continued its transformation path. The talent, expertise and commitment of our employees as well as their ability to build together were once again demonstrated in the many restructuring projects that make up our business plan. Regarding the Customer Project, we recorded net new capital inflows, reflecting the continuing reinforcement of the appeal of our brand. Many UHNW clients have joined us and have deposited significant amounts of assets, having been attracted in particular by the depth of our offering and our quality of service. Our sales momentum was driven by the strengthening of our value proposition for real assets and our responsible offering, as well as the continued development of our financing activity. Significant ESG initiatives have been implemented as part of our Societal Project, including our first sustainable real estate financing in Monaco and the launch of an innovative investment solution with a responsible component the Indosuez Blue Cycle. In Spain, we also offered the country's first investment fund specialising in reforestation. On the ground, Indosuez employees once again demonstrated their commitment to a more sustainable environment and a more responsible and inclusive economy through skills sponsorship and several solidarity initiatives. Indosuez also reiterated the meaning of its commitments in favour of water, education, the circular economy and inclusion, which are implemented in its foundations, its sponsorship operations and its initiatives alongside partners such as La Fondation de la Mer, Plastic Odyssey and L'Institut Océanographique de Monaco. Concerning the Human Project, proactive action plans in favour of diversity, personal development and youth were continued with employees, many of whom expressed their satisfaction in the employee empowerment index (Indice de Mise en Responsabilité - IMR). To always better serve its clients, strengthen the commitment and performance of its teams and improve its efficiency, Indosuez pursued its two-stage managerial transformation plan — the first of which was completed at the end of 2022. The Group continued its digital transformation. Once again this year, this transformation helped to improve our clients' journeys with, for example, the launch of a new digital platform allowing them to access our investment universe independently. It is also reflected in our offering and our processes, as well as our operational efficiency. In 2023, we will rely on the current momentum to continue our development. New projects and achievements are already on the horizon in terms of the Customer, Societal and Human Projects, the continued roll-out of digital tools, the migration of financial institutions to Azqore, our operational efficiency and compliance system. Therefore, despite the many uncertainties that have affected the beginning of this year, our employees in Belgium, Dubai, Spain, France, Hong Kong, Italy, Luxembourg, Monaco, Singapore and Switzerland are mobilising their efforts more than ever to continue to progress and innovate — with the goal of always better serving our clients.

CFM Indosuez Wealth Management Annual Report 2022 16 / Decrypt and clarify / This abrupt reversal in monetary policy had significant consequences for the financial markets, resulting in a sharp correction on the equity markets, which remain fundamentally sensitive to interest rates. Overall, the main asset classes (equities and bonds) corrected in unison, as did "safe haven" investments such as gold, reducing the appeal of diversification and offering investors few alternatives outside the money market and the dollar. This unexpected scenario also had a structural dimension, leading us to think that we are in fact witnessing a paradigm shift, thus sweeping away a number of certainties. Our energy dependence on Russia has highlighted the vulnerability of our industrial models. In addition, one of the ideas called into question is the concept of lasting peace in Europe, with a certain form of globalisation making way for a search for strategic autonomy. We are also thinking about the new model of capitalism in China, already launched in 2021, calling into question its status as the driver of the global economy. Then there is the idea, validated since autumn 2021, that inflation was temporary and that interest rates would remain at a low level for a long period. Delphine di Pizio Tiger Global Head of Asset Management at CA-Indosuez The year 2022 was marked by a both unexpected and unforeseeable geopolitical scenario. Nothing was there to warn us that the tensions brewing since the invasion of Crimea in 2014 would result in a major conflict at Europe's doorstep. This historical event fully disrupted the economic and financial landscape in 2022, exacerbating the inflationary pressure and the energy crisis already underway since the summer of 2021. The loss of confidence of European investors and consumers reinforced the recessionary trend, which negatively impacted economic activity. In the United States, the persistent inflationary pressure led the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to normalise its monetary policy by raising its key interest rates. With a rate hike of more than 400 basis points (bp) in less than a year, we witnessed the fastest monetary tightening since the 1970s. 2022 review and 2023 financial market outlook
17 "THE YEAR 2022 WAS MARKED BY A BOTH UNEXPECTED AND UNFORESEEABLE GEOPOLITICAL SCENARIO." The urgent response provided by the central banks and governments to counter inflation and the energy crisis created a new political-economic balance that is diametrically opposed to the one that had prevailed since the 2008 financial crisis: a restrictive monetary policy accompanied by an expansionary fiscal policy (particularly in Europe due to the energy crisis). This has led to high public deficits and the continued rise in debt-to-GDP ratios. The main danger in this new policy mix resides in the lower sustainability of public debt. In this difficult context, our companies have been a source of resilience, with earnings that continue to positively surprise and provide more solid-than-expected margins despite the fact that outlooks have been revised down. During this Chinese year of the Water Rabbit, a symbol of prosperity, peace, adaptation, wealth and luck, investors should not give in to pessimism. First, inflation is starting to show signs of slowing down, suggesting possible reversal of the Fed's policy at the end of 2023. Secondly, the macroeconomic data has not deteriorated as much as we could have feared, for example Germany's GDP growth came in positive for Q3, despite the energy problems. The key element remains China, which, despite some long-term indebtedness, is opening up with significant potential for domestic consumption in the short-term. In 2023, all of the above-mentioned factors could lead to a recovery of general activity and the equity markets. Corporate bonds now offer an attractive yield, which should further improve this year. Lastly, after a decade of supremacy of equities, this is probably the good news of this new environment: the return of yield.

27 Mathieu Ferragut Chief Executive Officer Eric Vial President / Message from General Management CFM Indosuez Wealth Management / Many geopolitical and economic challenges have emerged in 2022, first with the Russian war in Ukraine, which is still going on at the time of writing, and then with the sharp rise in inflation and interest rates. Added to this is a growing awareness of the energy, climate and social challenges facing our world. This complex context is not the first encountered by CFM Indosuez in its history, but it certainly makes 2022, the year of its centenary, both exceptional and pivotal for our customers, our employees and our shareholders. Our Bank has shown resilience in managing the crisis, while rapidly adapting to the new economic realities. The high quality of support offered by our staff to our customers has enabled us to achieve sustained growth and reaffirm our position in our three core businesses: wealth management, investment banking and merchant banking. This responsiveness has enabled our company to accelerate its growth and produce record results, with net profit (group share) of €43.4 million. Our work has been made easier thanks to the support of our directors and the Monegasque authorities, whose loyalty, trust and interest in our development we would like to thank. His Serene Highness Prince Albert II's participation in CFM Indosuez's centenary celebrations on 7 June 2022 was a particularly precious honour for our Bank, whose commitment to supporting the Principality's international, cultural and social development is at the heart of our strategy. Indeed, protecting the environment, and the oceans in particular, is a major reason for our long-term partnership with the Oceanographic Institute of Monaco, for which we renewed our support at the end of 2022 for the next three years. We have also developed green finance for the environment and blue finance for the oceans, through the Principality's first green property financing and the renewal of an innovative investment solution with a responsible component that had already been acclaimed by our customers in 2021, which we have renewed in 2022 with the entire Indosuez group. These actions are part of our Corporate Social Responsibility Project, integrated into our Ambitions 2025 medium-term plan, alongside our People Project, which focuses on the employee experience within CFM Indosuez, and our Customer Project, which aims for excellence in the experience offered to our customers. Recognised as the Principality's best bank in 2023 for the seventh year running by one of the leading international financial magazines, Global Finance, and as the best wealth management institution for the second time by Wealth Briefing, our Bank has everything it takes to succeed. The support of the Group, the soundness of our business model, the commitment of our staff and the strength of our expertise in our three core businesses - wealth management, investment banking and merchant banking - mean that we can look to the future with ambition and confidence.
CFM Indosuez Wealth Management Annual Report 2022 28 / Message from the Deputy Chief Executive Officers / SYSTEMATICALLY PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE FINANCE TO OUR CUSTOMERS AND PARTNERS 2 Taking account of non-financial criteria: Since 2022, 100% of our customers have benefited from ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) ratings for their portfolios. CFM Indosuez, in line with Crédit Agricole Group policy, excludes certain sectors and stocks from its proposals and recommendations. 3 Responsible investment In 2022, CFM Indosuez stepped up its proactive initiatives to support its customers' move towards responsible investment, with assets under management increasing by 39% over the year. 4 Supporting high-impact projects: Created in 2021 and renewed in 2022, the CFM Indosuez Oceano offering has won the support of many customers, whom we would like to thank. Their investment has enabled us, together and with the support of our group, to contribute 357,000 euros over two years to the Oceanographic Institute's projects to protect the ocean. Vincent Thomas, Deputy Chief Executive Officer Grégoire Faure, Deputy Chief Executive Officer; The centenary of our Bank in 2022 marked an acceleration in our actions in terms of social and environmental responsibility, at a time when global awareness of these issues has risen sharply. CFM Indosuez's aim is to be the leading responsible bank in Monaco's financial marketplace. The Social Charter, drawn up with employees and already approved by a large number of customers, is a practical way of monitoring the Bank's 10 commitments in this area: Indicators Climate Action 2019- 2022 Objective 2025 Objective 2030 Water in m3 -15.47% Electricity in kWh* -9.80% -5% -15% Paper in Tonnes -34.48% Business travel in kilometres -36.49% -25% -55% * The equivalent of CFM Indosuez's electricity consumption is produced from renewable energy, for which we receive a certificate each year.

They are closely monitored by the bank's entire General Management team. 8 Governance: Since 2021, CFM Indosuez has increased the gender balance of its Executive Committee, which is now composed of 25% women and 75% men.

In 2023, these ten commitments remain essential for CFM Indosuez. A challenge for our customers, employees, shareholders and partners.
CFM Indosuez Wealth Management Annual Report 2022 30 of 2001). In 2023, the challenges posed by the global context will remain. For the Principality, there are also several major challenges: complying with the Prince's Government's wish to respond favourably to Moneyval's requirements to step up the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism, enhancing its attractiveness on the model of Singapore in particular, and finalising the signing of an association agreement with the European Union. The Monegasque economy is in good health. Highly resilient, it will undoubtedly be able to adapt to its new environment while actively pursuing its proactive policy in favour of sustainable development. Céline Lapaian, Company Secretary Sophie Armando, Head of Finance & Strategy To find out more about the economic data of Monaco: visit the website of the Institut Monégasque de la Statistique et des Etudes Economiques (IMSEE - Monegasque Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies), imsee.mc. The global context of the war in Ukraine, inflationary pressures and climate change has not spared Monaco, which nevertheless remains an island of exceptional prosperity. The Principality's budget surplus reached €32 million in 2022, a level not reached since 2018. Its revenue will approach €19 billion by the end of 2022, an increase of €2.5 billion, driven in particular by wholesale, its biggest contributor. Monaco's economic vitality is also reflected in the 18% increase in the overall volume of foreign trade. The number of employers continues to grow, rising by 0.8% to 6,357 by the end of 2022. The number of employees rose by 5.4% to 60,082 active jobs. The property market reached a new record with an increase of 18.2% and 520 transactions, a number that remains below the 2014-2016 period, worth €3.54 billion. The new-build sector accounted for €1.19 billion, with 88 flats sold, while the existing sector saw 432 transactions worth €2.32 billion. On the banks' side, assets have grown very positively in 20 years, from €49 billion at the end of 2003 to €142 billion at the end of 2022, despite a slight decline since the end of 2021 when they reached €148 billion, mainly due to the fall in the financial markets. At the end of 2022, the Monegasque financial centre had 28 credit institutions, reflecting a concentration effect over the last 20 years (e.g. 44 banks at the end / The Monaco environment /
31 / Wealth management / Stéphane Herpe Head of Markets, Marketing and Development Yves Braccalenti, Head of Customer Relations In 2022, the watchwords for our customer support were closeness to the customer and responsiveness. This closeness was essential against the backdrop of an 'annus horribilis' on the financial markets, which were impacted by the war in Ukraine, the energy crisis and inflation, leading to a sudden return to rising interest rates and triggering a bond crash. Against this backdrop, volatility was managed with great responsiveness by CFM Indosuez's experts, who, together with the use of hedges and structured products, ensured that the overall performance of the portfolios remained resilient. We have also stepped up our advisory activities for our customers, to support them in their investment choices and facilitate their decision-making. 2022 will also have been a year of accelerated growth in the number of new relationships with very wealthy clients, with whom the bank has completed some excellent transactions thanks to the collaborative work of all the teams in Monaco and synergies with the Crédit Agricole Group, in line with our Client Project. These UHNWI clients find that CFM Indosuez offers them the depth of products and services they need to protect, structure and develop their wealth. One of the distinguishing features of our Bank is our responsible investment and financing offering: we have set up the first green financing in the Principality of Monaco for a building that has itself been designed in a responsible manner. Innovation for our customers is reflected in both our products and services, whether they involve the automation of processes or the creation of a technological platform that will give them access to all our research and the customisation of their investment portfolios. In 2023, the CFM Indosuez teams will continue to provide excellent support to our customers, maintaining the closeness and responsiveness that will probably remain essential in a world that will continue to be unclear, but where our teams and customers will continue to benefit from the soundness and stability of our Group.
CFM Indosuez Wealth Management Annual Report 2022 32 / People project / To measure the progress of our managerial transformation, we have launched a new survey that determines an accountability index (IMR - indice de mise en responsabilité). 87% of employees expressed their views. Among the positive points highlighted, 77% of CFM Indosuez employees feel that they are given responsibility and 80% would recommend our Bank. The attractiveness and soundness of the Bank and the People Project are, in their view, strong points in an uncertain environment. Its stability is a real loyalty factor. This new survey has also highlighted a number of strengths that encourage us to continue working on our cultural and managerial transformation. Moving towards a culture of accountability is a longterm process of transformation. The roll-out of minicompanies in 2023 and 2024 will be a decisive factor in the success of our cultural and managerial transformation. We rely on 'made-to-measure' support, in the field, as close as possible to our teams, so that each manager can develop his or her managerial approach, taking into account the reality of his or her day-to-day work and the tasks of his or her colleagues. Drawing on the strength of their team, they work together to achieve a shared ambition for development and performance. Ariel Barugel, Head of Human Resources CFM Indosuez is part of the Indosuez Group's cultural and managerial transformation programme, which aims to strengthen the commitment and performance of its teams in order to provide our customers with an ever-better service. To support this transformation, which is at the heart of our People Project, we have introduced an unprecedented, highly participative approach. This is the first time that a management programme will eventually involve all managers and all employees. This approach involves 2 key stages: The first stage, known as Act 1, involved all the managers on the CFM Indosuez Executive Committee. They benefited from individualised support in the form of a personality analysis, followed by an interview with an external coach focusing on personal strengths and areas for improvement in terms of relational and human capital. This support was supplemented by face-to-face and small-group workshops, focusing on co-coaching and co-development. The objectives of Act 1 were: - to share and adopt behaviours that stimulate employee commitment and performance, - and to develop the mindset and practices needed to foster a sense of responsibility and to improve team leadership. The second stage, Act 2, launched at the end of 2022, aims to include all managers and their staff in the approach. It will continue throughout the MTP. Thanks to tailor-made coaching, a "minicompany", each team will be able to put new routines into practice and anchor the changes in their way of working.

CFM Indosuez Wealth Management Annual Report 2022 38 The CFM Indosuez Wealth group's consolidated NBI for 2022 is up by more than 24% on the 2021 figure, at €160.6 million. This performance can be attributed, on the one hand, to an increasingly dynamic brokerage business and, on the other, to higher interest income generated by the sharp rise in interest rates in most currencies. The CFM Indosuez Wealth group's operating expenses will amount to €105.1 million over 2022. This 8% increase on last year is in line with recent years, which have seen significant investment, particularly in IT and digital technology. As a result, gross operating income rose to €55.6 million in 2022 from €32.1 million on 31 December 2021. Taking into account the above factors, a negative cost of risk of €3.9 million and corporation tax of €8.3 million, net profit for 2022 is €43.4 million, up +49% on 2021. This increase in net income reflects the commercial dynamic observed throughout the year as well as the change in interest rates. Assets under custody on 31 December 2022 were -1.6% lower than on 31 December 2021, the result of strong inflows in 2022 more than offset by negative market and currency effects. Loans and advances to customers were slightly up (1.4%) on the previous year. Customer debt amounted to €6,243 million, an increase of almost 9% compared with 31 December 2021. ACTIVITIES AND RESULTS OF THE BANK (CFM INDOSUEZ WEALTH SCOPE) Assets under custody on 31 December 2022 were 1.6% lower than on 31 December 2021.
