acquisition on Natixis CET1 ratio at end-March 2017 is around -10
bps.

Natixis' strategic ambition to become one of the European leaders
in the payments industry, particularly for merchant services. The
acquisition of Dalenys strengthens Natixis' range of payment
solutions for e-retailers on a fast-growing market with transaction
volume in Europe in excess of €500bn.
This transaction rounds out the
Groupe BPCE's commercial set-up, enabling it to develop new
services based on data analysis, and provide innovative digital
offerings for mid-sized and large retailers in Europe.
The acquisition of Dalenys is part
of the creation of the Payment business line at Natixis at the end
of 2016, bringing together Natixis Payment Solutions, Natixis
Intertitres and S'money, along with the acquisition of Fintech
PayPlug, which was finalized in April 2017. Dalenys will increase
Natixis Payment Solutions' international client base and will pave
the way for a rapid European expansion.
Gils Berrous,
Member of Natixis' Senior Management Committee, Head of Specialized
Financial Services division: "We are very
delighted to develop, with Dalenys teams, a major player in
e-commerce, on a European scale. We are convinced that Dalenys'
client relationship model, based on an excellent insight into their
needs and an integrated distribution system, will help increase
value for our clients over the long term".

This combination illustrates the strategic nature of Payments in
the digital transformation of Group BPCE and its approach vis-à-vis
technology companies and entrepreneurs. Together, Natixis and
Dalenys, the first French Fintech1, are able to accompany the major European merchants
