RCI Banque discloses exposure to Russia and Ukraine

RCI Banque has investments and operations in Russia and Ukraine. The bank strictly complies with the regulations in force and diligently implements the necessary measures to comply with international sanctions as soon as they are published.

Given the way the bank operates in these two countries, balance sheet exposure to Russia and Ukraine is limited.

Russia:

RCI Banque main exposure to Russia derives from its equity investment in RN Bank, a self-funded Joint Venture in which we hold 30% of the economic interest and that we consolidate by the equity method. RCI Banque share of RN Bank equity was 92 M€ as of 31/12/2021.

RCI Banque is assessing the available options with RN Bank other shareholders, taking into account the current environment, while acting responsibly towards RN Bank employees.

RCI Banque also owns 100 % of RNL Leasing, a small leasing company that we consolidate by global integration. As of 31/12/2021, RCI Banque equity investment in RNL Leasing was 2 M€ while intra-group loans amounted to 15 M€.

A non-cash adjustment may have to be recorded against the book value of our assets in Russia at the time of the 2022 first half results. As of December 31, 2021, this value amounted to 109 million euros representing approximatively 22bps1 of RCI Banque's 2021-year end CET1 ratio (14.76%). Our strong capital position would allow us to absorb such adverse shock.

Ukraine:

In Ukraine we have a commercial agreement carried out by a non-consolidated subsidiary and therefore no lending exposure. RCI Banque’s net investment is limited to the equity share of this subsidiary (0,3 M€).

We continue to dynamically monitor our risk exposure, whilst constantly assessing the potential impact of the conflict.
