GOVERNANCE OF CRÉDIT AGRICOLE S.A. WITH REGARD TO REMUNERATION POLICY
The Crédit Agricole S.A. remuneration policy is defined by the Board of Directors of Crédit Agricole S.A., upon the proposal of its Remuneration Committee. The various control functions are involved in the preparation and verification of the implementation of this policy.

COMPOSITION AND ROLE OF THE REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
As of 31 December 2024, the Remuneration Committee consisted of six members:

The composition of the Committee was modified in 2014 to include a director representing the employees. It mainly consists of independent directors and two directors who are also members of the Risk Committee.
The Group Head of Human Resources attends the meetings of the Remuneration Committee. The Committee bases its work on studies, where it deems this necessary, and benchmarks provided by independent consulting firms.
The operation and duties of the Committee are set out in Rules of Procedure as approved by the Board of Directors, the current version of which is available on the website.
The main missions of the Remuneration Committee are as follows:
to prepare proposals and opinions to be submitted to the Board on the general principles of Crédit Agricole S.A.'s remuneration policy, in particular:
the definition of remuneration structures, in particular by making a distinction between fixed compensation and variable compensation,
the principles for determining total amounts of variable compensation, taking into account the impact of the risks and capital requirements inherent to the related business activities in terms of solvency and liquidity,
the application of regulatory provisions concerning identified staff within the meaning of the European regulations;
to establish proposals relating to the remuneration of executive corporate officers in terms of fixed and variable compensation or any other remuneration element (retirement, benefits, benefits in kind, etc.);

to establish proposals pertaining to the amount and distribution of the total amount of directors' fees;
to establish proposals pertaining to capital increases reserved for the employees of Crédit Agricole S.A. and, where applicable, stock option plans and bonus share distribution plans to be submitted to the General Assembly of Shareholders, as well as the terms and conditions for implementing these capital increases and plans.
The Remuneration Committee met five times in 2024 and reviewed the following issues:

Role of control functions

ROLE OF CONTROL FUNCTIONS
In accordance with regulatory requirements, the Group Human Resources department involves the control functions (Risk and Permanent Control, Compliance, and Control and Audit) in the preparation of remuneration policies, the review of the Group's variable compensation and the definition of identified staff.
In particular, the Remuneration Policy Control Committee brings together representatives of the Group Human Resources department, the Group Risk and Permanent Control department and the Group Compliance department.
This committee issues an opinion on the updated version of the remuneration policy drawn up by the Human Resources department, before it can be submitted to the Remuneration Committee and subsequently approved by the Group Board of Directors.
This committee is tasked with the following missions:
informing the control functions of issues relating to general policies that will be presented to the Remuneration Committee, a prerequisite to fulfil its duty to provide a warning;
ensuring the validity of the principles applied to implement the remuneration policy within the Group, in light of the latest regulatory requirements;
reviewing the proper application of the rules within each entity: definition of the regulated population; principles used to calculate total variable compensation; management of non-compliant behaviour, which will be taken into consideration when calculating variable compensation for the current year or previous years;
coordinating the actions to be introduced in the entities by the Risk and Compliance functions.
The definition and implementation of the remuneration policy are subject to controls by the Group Control and Audit department and by the internal audit departments of the Group's entities.
In addition, in order to prevent any conflict of interest, the remuneration of staff in control functions is set separately from the remuneration of staff in the business lines whose operations they are tasked with validating or verifying.

REMUNERATION POLICY FOR IDENTIFIED STAFF

GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF THE REMUNERATION POLICY
The Crédit Agricole S.A. remuneration policy aims to align the interests of the Group's customers, shareholders and employees in keeping with its Raison d'Être: "Working every day in the interest of our customers and society". It underpins the Group's long-term project and Medium-Term Plan "Ambitions 2025". It hinges on the implementation of principles that are common to all employees and helps to convey the values of fairness, transparency and usefulness that are essential to the Group.
With this in mind, since 2020, the Group has been increasing the weight of environmental and social performance criteria in the annual variable compensation and long-term variable compensation paid to executive corporate officers and senior executives in order to align its compensation policy with its strategic objectives.
Compensation for employees and senior executives is determined on the basis of precise and clear criteria that reflect the skills and seniority of the employees and the individual and collective performance delivered in the context of the organisation's corporate sustainability. The remuneration policy is gender-neutral.
Compensation paid to employees of Crédit Agricole S.A. consists of:
fixed compensation;
individual annual variable compensation;
collective variable compensation (profit-sharing and incentives in France, profit-sharing in other countries);
long-term variable compensation subject to performance conditions;
peripheral remuneration (supplementary pension and death & disability and health insurance schemes).
These elements correspond to different objectives and are consistent with the Medium-Term Plan. All or part of these elements may be offered to each employee, according to their level of responsibility, skills and performance.
In each of its business lines, Crédit Agricole S.A. regularly reviews practices in other French, European and global financial groups so that its remuneration structure can support its aspirations to attract and retain the talent and skills the Group needs.
The remuneration policies of Crédit Agricole S.A. entities are consistent with the risk appetite framework and declaration approved by their management bodies.
FIXED COMPENSATION
Skills and responsibility level are rewarded by a base salary in line with the specific characteristics of each business line in its local market.
INDIVIDUAL ANNUAL VARIABLE COMPENSATION
Depending on the business line and in keeping with market practices, two types of variable compensation systems exist within Crédit Agricole S.A.:
individual variable compensation for Corporate functions, retail banking and specialised business lines (insurance, leasing and factoring, consumer finance);
and bonuses in corporate and investment banking, private banking, asset management and servicing, and private equity.
The allocation of variable compensation is defined based on the achievement of the objectives set and the results of the entity, thus linking the interests of employees with those of the Group and shareholders.
The variable compensation is linked to annual performance and the impact on the institution's risk profile. Unsatisfactory performance, failure to comply with rules and procedures, or high-risk behaviours therefore have a direct impact on variable compensation.
Variable compensation is set in accordance with regulatory principles. It is defined in such a way that it does not interfere with the ability of Group entities to strengthen their capital when necessary. Beyond economic and financial criteria, the performance evaluation takes into account all risks, including liquidity risk, as well as the cost of capital.

Remuneration policy for identified staff
General principles of the remuneration policy
INDIVIDUAL VARIABLE COMPENSATION
Individual variable compensation measures individual performance based on the achievement of collective and/or individual objectives. Performance is assessed through the precise measurement of the results obtained relative to specific annual objectives (how much), taking into account the conditions under which the objectives were achieved (how).
The objectives are precisely described and are measurable over the year. The objectives systematically take into account the customer, employee-related and societal dimension of the activities.
They also take into account the notion of generated risk, particularly for senior executives with economic objectives such as Net income Group share, expenses and RWA.
The extent to which objectives are achieved or exceeded is the central point taken into account for the allocation of individual variable compensation, in addition to a qualitative assessment focusing on how the objectives are achieved (assuming responsibility, discernment, autonomy, cooperation, commitment, management, etc.), and with regard to the consequences for the company's other stakeholders (manager, co-workers, other sectors, etc.). By considering these aspects, it is possible to differentiate the allocation of individual variable compensation per performance.
BONUSES
Bonuses are directly related to the entity's financial results. They are determined according to a multi-step procedure.
The determination of the bonus envelope per entity is subject to two types of criteria:
quantitative criteria:
In order to determine the amount of its business contribution, i.e. its ability to fund bonuses, taking into account the cost of risk, the cost of capital and the cost of liquidity, each entity performs the following calculation:
Contribution = NBI (1) - direct and indirect expenses before bonuses - cost of risk - cost of capital before tax
qualitative criteria:
In order to determine the distribution rate of the contribution, i.e. the overall bonuses, each entity must assess the level of distribution it wishes to apply. To do so, it looks at the entity's economic performance and the practices of competing companies in comparable businesses.
The individual allocation of this package applies the following principles:
The individual allocations of variable components are correlated with a formal annual individual performance review, which looks at the achievement of both quantitative and qualitative objectives. There is therefore no direct, automatic link between an employee's level of financial results and their variable compensation level. Employees are evaluated by looking at a combination of their performance, the results of their business and the conditions under which these results were achieved.
As with individual variable compensation, targets are clearly defined and measurable over the year.
Qualitative objectives are individualised and are related to the employee's professional duties and level of responsibility. These objectives include the quality of risk management and the means harnessed and behaviours adopted to achieve results, such as assuming responsibility, discernment, autonomy, cooperation, commitment, management, etc.
In addition to the individual performance review carried out each year by line management, the Human Resources department, the Risk and Permanent Control department and the Compliance department independently assess any risky behaviour by employees. Where risky behaviour is observed, the employee's variable compensation is directly impacted.
COLLECTIVE VARIABLE COMPENSATION
Crédit Agricole S.A. is committed to involving all employees in the Group's results so that the value that is created can be shared collectively. Accordingly, mechanisms for the allocation of collective variable compensation (profit-sharing and incentive plans) have
been developed in all entities in France in order to reflect value creation as faithfully as possible. At some international entities, similar mechanisms provide for the sharing of profits with all employees (e.g., CA Italia and Crédit Agricole Egypt).
(1) It being understood that, by definition, NBI is calculated net of the cost of liquidity.

Remuneration policy for identified staff
Scope of identified staff
LONG-TERM VARIABLE COMPENSATION SUBJECT TO PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS
Crédit Agricole S.A.'s remuneration policy is focused on developing performance over the long term.
In 2011, the Group implemented a long-term incentive plan in order to encourage sustainable performance. In this way, the consideration of environmental and social CSR criteria strengthens the link between compensation and sustainable performance.
Long-term variable compensation for senior executives consists of remuneration in the form of Crédit Agricole S.A. shares and/or in cash indexed to the Crédit Agricole S.A. share price.
Amounts are deferred over three, four and five years, subject to performance conditions and according to the following criteria:
the intrinsic economic performance of Crédit Agricole S.A.;
the relative performance of Crédit Agricole S.A. shares compared to a composite index of European banks;
the environmental and social performance of Crédit Agricole S.A.
In addition to the aspects of retention, alignment with longterm performance and rewarding sustainable performance, this remuneration tool also renders it possible to integrate, through its economic performance condition, the notion of generated risk, the financial impacts of which could occur after their generating event.

PRINCIPLES OF THE REMUNERATION POLICY FOR IDENTIFIED STAFF
In accordance with the regulations, the remuneration policy for identified staff is characterised by the following principles:
the amounts and distribution of variable compensation must not impair the institutions' ability to strengthen their equity as required;
the variable compensation is deferred where it exceeds €50,000 or represents more than one third of the total annual compensation (barring more stringent local regulations);
the variable component of the remuneration cannot be greater than 100% of the fixed component. However, the General Assembly of Shareholders can approve a higher maximum ratio provided that the overall level of the variable portion does not exceed 200% of
-
SCOPE OF IDENTIFIED STAFF
The remuneration policies of Crédit Agricole S.A. entities are governed by four distinct sets of regulations:
those applicable to credit institutions (the "CRD 5" package);
those applicable to investment firms (the "IFR/IFD" package);
those applicable within asset management companies to alternative investment funds (hedge funds and private equity funds) under the European Alternative Investment Fund Managers directive (Directive 2011/6 of 8 June 2011, or "AIFMD") and to UCITS management companies under the European UCITS V directive (Directive 2014/91/EU of 23 July 2014);
those applicable to insurance and reinsurance companies that come under the Solvency 2 framework.
With regard to credit institutions and certain investment firms, the European Commission's delegated regulation (EU) 2021/923 and the French order (arrêté) of 22 December 2020 amending the order (arrêté) of 3 November 2014 on internal control define the scope of the framework measures for the following employees, known as "identified staff".

-
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEFERRED RULES FOR IDENTIFIED STAFF UNDER CRD 5
AMOUNT OF VARIABLE COMPENSATION TO BE DEFERRED
The system is designed to provide incentives for employees to focus on the medium-term performance of the Group and control of risks.
In practice, and in view of the proportionality principle, employees whose bonus or variable remuneration component is less than
€50,000 or one third of the total annual compensation, are excluded
from the scope of the application of the deferral rules for each of the entities, unless otherwise stipulated by the regulatory authorities in the countries in which the Group's subsidiaries are located.
The deferred portion is determined based on the overall variable compensation awarded for the financial year.
PAYMENT IN SHARES OR EQUIVALENT INSTRUMENTS
Some of the deferred variable compensation and the non-deferred portion subject to a retention period of at least six months vest in the form of Crédit Agricole S.A. shares or in cash indexed to the Crédit Agricole S.A. share price. As a result, at least 50% of variable compensation for identified staff is awarded in shares or share-linked instruments.
Any hedging or insurance strategies limiting the scope of alignment provisions on risks contained in the remuneration scheme are prohibited.
PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS
The vesting of the deferred portion is made in quarters or fifths:
one quarter in year N+1, one quarter in year N+2, one quarter in year N+3 and one quarter in year N+4 with respect to the reference year (N), provided that the vesting conditions are met. Each of the vesting dates is subject to a retention period of at least six months; or
one fifth in year N+1, one fifth in year N+2, one fifth in year N+3, one fifth in year N+4 and one fifth in year N+5 with respect to the reference year (N), provided that the vesting conditions are met. Each of the vesting dates is subject to a retention period of at least six months.
The definitive vesting of the variable portion at the end of the deferral period is also subject to the satisfaction of a condition of presence in the Group on the vesting date.

- MONITORING PROCESS
The total amount of variable compensation granted to an identified staff member may be reduced in whole or in part depending on the observed actions or risk behaviour.
An internal system for monitoring the risk behaviour of risk-taking employees is defined by ad hoc procedures and is deployed within the subsidiaries of Crédit Agricole S.A. in coordination with the Risk, Permanent Control and Compliance business lines.
Accordingly, all rules on variable compensation for risk-taking employees (deferred payment schedule, performance conditions and reporting) also apply to guaranteed bonuses.
fixed remuneration is submitted to the General Assembly of Crédit Agricole S.A. and the subsidiaries that wish to do so (up to a maximum of 200%).
