The Supervisory Board of BPCE held its first meeting on July 31, 2009. At this meeting, the persons
described in the Exchange Offering Memorandum under the heading "Management of BPCE Management Board"
were named as members of the Management Board.

The Management Board of BPCE also held its first meeting on July 31, 2009. At this meeting, the
Management Board authorized the issuance of the New Notes and delegated the authority to determine the definitive
terms and conditions of the New Notes to the persons indicated in the Terms and Conditions of the New Notes in
Annex A hereto.
Decision of Paris Court of Appeals of July 31, 2009
On July 31, 2009, the Paris Court of Appeals decided that the works council (comité d'entreprise) of the
Caisse d'Epargne Ile-de-France (CEIDF) did not receive sufficient information during the consultation process
relating to the creation of the new central body, BPCE. The decision overturned a prior decision of the Tribunal de
Grande Instance of July 10, 2009, which found that the information provided was sufficient. In response, CEIDF
has initiated further legal proceedings with a view to establishing that it respected its undertakings to the works
council, and it has also called a meeting of the works council for August 19, 2009.

The decision does not in any way affect the transactions in which BPCE became the central body of
Groupe BPCE, nor does it affect any of the decisions taken at the shareholders meeting of July 31, 2009, at which
CEIDF's participation was valid, or the consumation of the Contribution Transactions. It also does not impact the
role of BPCE as central body, including with respect to the financial solidarity mechanism.

Improved Capital Ratios for BPCE and Natixis
The results of the exchange offers will have the effect of improving the quality of the consolidated regulatory capital of
BPCE and Natixis. The Core Tier 1 ratio (pro forma March 31, 2009) of BPCE (including BPCE as central body and its
consolidated affiliates) is expected to increase by 0.2 percentage points as a result of the offers. Following the expected transfer
of the exchanged Existing Securities to Natixis for cancellation and the issuance by Natixis of new Tier 1 deeply subordinated
notes to BPCE, the Core Tier 1 ratio (pro forma March 31, 2009) of Natixis is expected to increase by approximately 0.2
percentage points.

Amendments to Exchange Offering Memorandum

In the section "Terms and Conditions of the Series USD-1 New Notes", the second paragraph of
section 4.1 is amended to read as follows:

The Interest Amount for a Note of a denomination of US$1,500 for the initial period from (and including)
August 6, 2009 to (but excluding) September 30, 2010 will be US$224.38.

In the section "Terms and Conditions of the Series USD-2 New Notes", the final sentence of section
4.2.1 is amended to change the amount of US$121.88 to US$81.25, so that the sentence now reads as follows:

The Fixed Rate Interest Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for the first Fixed Rate Interest
Payment Date will be US$81.25.

Change of Fiscal Agent for Series USD-2 Securities
The Fiscal Agent for the Series USD-2 Securities will be Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the
address of whose specified office is set forth in the Exchange Offering Memorandum (as Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Americas was already to be designated as a U.S. paying agent), and on the inside back cover of this
Supplement.
