RISK FACTORS
The Issuer believes that the following factors may affect its ability to fulfil its obligations under the Notes.
All of these factors are contingencies which may or may not occur and the Issuer is not in a position to
express a view on the likelihood of any such contingency occurring.
Factors which the Issuer believes may be material for the purpose of assessing the market risks associated
with the Notes are also described below.
The Issuer believes that the factors described below represent the principal risks inherent in investing in the
Notes, but the inability of the Issuer to pay interest, principal or other amounts on or in connection with the
Notes may occur for other reasons and the Issuer does not represent that the statements below regarding the
risks of holding the Notes are exhaustive. Prospective investors should read the entire Prospectus. The
following is a disclosure of risk factors that are material to the Notes in order to assess the market risk
associated with these Notes and risk factors that may affect the Issuer's ability to fulfil its obligations under
the Notes. Prospective investors should consider these risk factors before deciding to purchase Notes. The
following statements are not exhaustive. Prospective investors should consider all information provided in
this Prospectus and consult with their own professional advisers if they consider it necessary. In addition,
investors should be aware that the risks described may combine and thus intensify one another. The
occurrence of one or more risks may have a material adverse effect on the own funds, the financial position
and the operating result of the Issuer.
Each of the risks highlighted below could have a material adverse effect on the business, operations,
financial conditions or prospects of the Issuer or the Group, which in turn could have a material adverse
effect on the amount of principal and interest which investors will receive in respect of the Notes. In
addition, each of the risks highlighted below could adversely affect the trading price of the Notes or the
rights of investors under the Notes and, as a result, investors could lose some or all of their investment.
Words and expressions defined in the section entitled "Terms and Conditions of the Notes" herein shall have
the same meanings in this section. For the purpose of this section, the Group is defined as the Issuer and its
fully consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole from time to time. Expressions in this section such as "we",
"our", "us" and any similar terms are a reference to the Issuer and/or the Group, as the case may be, unless
the context requires otherwise.
The order in which the following risks factors are presented is not an indication of the likelihood of their
occurrence.
RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE ISSUER
Introduction: Macroeconomic environment
The 2015 economic and financial environment is described in section 2.1 of the 2015 Registration Document
(as defined in the section "Information Incorporated by Reference"). Any reference in this section to
consolidated financial statements and to Notes thereto are to the audited consolidated financial statements of
the Issuer for the year ended 31 December 2015 and their annexes, all included in the 2015 Registration
Document (as defined in the section "Information Incorporated by Reference"), which is incorporated by
reference in this Prospectus.
The risks described below are inherent to the economic, competitive and regulatory environment in which
the Group operates.
Their impact cannot always be reliably measured, due to the many contingencies and uncertainties related to
these risks. Risk management processes, procedures and controls have nonetheless been set up to track and

6

manage the risks on an ongoing basis. These processes, procedures and controls are discussed in the report of
the Chairman of the Board of Directors in this Registration Document.
Although the main risks to which the Group is exposed are set out in this section, the list is by no means
exhaustive and other risks that are currently unknown or are considered minor or not material may prove to
have a material impact on the Group in the future.
The Group may also be exposed to emerging risks, corresponding to new or continually evolving risks whose
impact is very difficult to measure. Risks may be related to developments in synthetic biology, for example,
or any currently unknown toxic effects of products using nanotechnologies. There may also be risks related
to the development of big data, which could result in increased data security risks. Risks that are currently
unknown or considered of minor importance may have a material adverse effect on the Group in the future.
Specific processes exist to identify and analyse emerging risks. These include keeping abreast of relevant
scientific publications, market trends, regulatory developments, case law, etc. and performing annual reviews
to identify those risks that should be incorporated into the routine risk management process.
This section presents the Group's risk exposures by type of risk, level of materiality and potential impact on
consolidated results and assets.
In addition to the sections covering the overall Group risk management system and internal control
procedures in the report of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of CNP Assurances, the following are
successively dealt with:
underwriting risk factors linked to the insurance business: insurance risk on savings contracts,
pension and personal risk products, concentration of insurance risk, reinsurance risk and liability
adequacy risk due to changes in assumptions;
risk factors linked to the financial markets: asset/liability mismatch risk, interest rate risk, credit
risk, sovereign debt risk, country risk, liquidity risk, equity risk, real estate risk, infrastructure risk,
private equity risk, currency risk and hedging adequacy risk;
risk factors linked to the business: operational risks, business continuity risk, compliance risk,
litigation risk, money-laundering and fraud risk, information systems risk, employee-related risk and
environmental risk;
other risk factors: tax risk, ratings downgrade risk, partner risk, regulatory and antitrust risk,
modelling risk.
This presentation should be read in conjunction with the tables illustrating and quantifying these risks that
are included in the consolidated financial statements and have been audited by the Statutory Auditors.
1.
Underwriting risk factors linked to the insurance business
The Group offers a full range of insurance products both inside and outside France.
The main individual insurance products are savings products, term life insurance, endowment policies with
death cover and deferred annuity contracts with or without contingency insurance. The Group also markets
products that combine a traditional savings component and one or several unit-linked components.
Group policies are mainly defined contribution pension plans, points-based pay-as-you-go group pension
plans, employee benefits plans and term creditor insurance.
In addition, the Group's subsidiaries in Brazil (Caixa Seguros) and in Cyprus and Greece (CNP Cyprus
Insurance Holdings) write property & casualty and liability insurance. Commitments under property &

7

casualty and liability insurance are marginal in relation to those arising from the life and protection insurance
written by the Group.
CNP Assurances is exposed to the risks inherent in marketing and pricing new products. These risks are
managed through specific processes and by dedicated committees.
The insurer's risks differ depending on the type of policy:
Savings contracts give rise to mainly financialtype risks
Savings contracts fall into two broad categories:
traditional savings products, where the insurer may commit to pay a minimum guaranteed yield plus
a share of the investment yield. The yield guarantee is for a fixed period (see Note 24.4 to the
consolidated financial statements Risk of guaranteed yields on insurance and financial liabilities).
Most savings contracts include an early surrender option for a contractually fixed amount. The policy
surrender rate will depend on stock market performance, the performance of competitors' products,
policyholder behaviour (e.g., a need to raise cash), customer confidence, and tax considerations. A wave of
surrenders could materially impact earnings or even solvency in extreme conditions. Traditional savings
products are exposed to surrender risk in the event of a sharp increase in interest rates. This would generate
unrealised losses, some of which would be recognised directly in equity, thus impacting both earnings and
solvency;
unit-linked products, where the policyholder bears the financial risk and the insurer's commitment is
limited to the additional cover provided, consisting generally of a guaranteed death benefit. A bear
market combined with higher-than-expected losses could severely hit earnings on savings products.
Unit-linked products are subjected to an internal analysis and selection process before being
marketed.
Pension products give rise to mainly financial and underwriting risks
Risks associated with annuity-based pension portfolios concern:
the benefit payment period, which is not known in advance;
the interest rate, corresponding to the return on the funds managed by the insurer.
For these contracts, results are determined by long-term financial management strategies and actual mortality
rates compared with assumptions. Technical reserves are calculated using regulatory mortality tables based
on statistical data on population trends. In certain cases, experience-based data is also used. Earnings or
equity are potentially exposed to the risk that actual demographic trends may turn out to be significantly
different to those predicted in the mortality tables or the risk that yields on plan assets will fall significantly
short of the valuation rate of interest used in the pricing model.
Personal risk policies give rise to mainly underwriting risks
Personal risk contracts comprise various types of primary guarantees covering such risks as death, temporary
or permanent disability, long-term care, health and unemployment.
The Group establishes risk selection and reinsurance policies and monitors statistical data concerning the
policyholder base and related loss ratios.

8

Deteriorating loss ratios for temporary disability cover provided under term creditor insurance and employee
benefit plans, together with longer observed life expectancies of insureds requiring long-term care have led
to a major rethink of the pricing strategy for these products.
The increase in the legal retirement age in France has also had an adverse impact as benefits are payable until
the policyholder retires.
Asymmetric information available to policyholders and insurers gives rise to a risk of anti-selection although
this is attenuated by the use of medical questionnaires, deferred periods and other measures.
The Group's business may be affected by the occurrence of natural or human catastrophes.
Although CNP Assurances' business model focuses primarily on personal insurance, a wave of global
climate-related disasters, acts of terrorism, the spread of pandemics such as the H5N1 and Ebola viruses, or
fallout from global warming, aside from the immediate damage that such events would cause, could also
significantly impact the results of certain personal insurance businesses.
The Group is exposed to concentration risk
The Group has potential exposure to concentration risk which could arise from:
one or a number of Group entities underwriting the same risk;
one or a number of Group entities underwriting different risks likely to result in claims arising from
the same loss event or primary cause.
Identifying and containing concentration risk is part of the product development and approval procedure and
product portfolio management, which includes managing the related reinsurance cover (see Note 24.5 to the
consolidated financial statements Concentration of insurance risk).
The Group has set up a reinsurance programme to limit risk exposure
The reinsurance programme is an important part of managing both the insurance business and the related
risk. It has the following features and objectives:
the reinsurance policy is implemented throughout the Group, covering business written by the
Company and by its subsidiaries;
overall underwriting results are protected by non-proportional treaties that are geared to the size of
the Group and its claims-paying ability;
risks are shared on large-scale new Personal Risk business.
Other reinsurance treaties have been set up for strategic and commercial reasons.
Applications have been developed to monitor reinsured portfolios and these are presented in Note 10.5 to the
consolidated financial statements Credit risk on reinsured business. The Group's exposure to its main
reinsurers is also analysed to ensure that cumulative exposure remains within defined limits. Even if all
relevant exposure limits are complied with, certain reinsurers may be unable to honour their financial
obligations and this could adversely affect the Group's consolidated earnings.
The availability, amount and cost of reinsurance also hinges on numerous factors and these may vary
considerably over time. An increase in the cost of reinsurance may affect Group earnings either directly via
the reinsured business or because a reduction in the reinsurance rate increases the risk of losses.

9

A change in assumptions may result in inadequate technical reserves or adversely affect earnings or
solvency
Prudential technical reserves are the core of the Solvency II balance sheet, and hence have a material impact
on CNP Assurances' solvency.
The modelling of insurance liabilities requires the use of biometric assumptions in relation to mortality and
disability events. Behavioural assumptions are also required to consider the duration of liabilities, such as
surrender behaviour.
Moreover, future management decisions are incorporated into models, reflecting management actions in
different economic scenarios. Thus, all the assumptions for calculation of technical reserves are cautiously
analysed and verified. Any errors on them could have an impact on the overall risk profile of the company.
The approach used to ensure that technical reserves are adequate focuses on:
managing the risks associated with a fall in interest rates;
taking into account any increase in life expectancies compared with the periods reflected in
regulatory mortality tables, by using an approved experience-based table developed internally;
regularly assessing risks via:
prospective monitoring of yield commitments,
detailed analyses and statistical studies of personal risk and group death/disability contracts,
including loss monitoring (by contract/underwriting year/loss year) and tracking of the utilisation of
reserves.
The main categories of technical reserves are disclosed in Note 24.3 to the 2015 consolidated financial
statements Valuation of insurance liabilities (the 2015 consolidated financial statements are included in the
2015 Registration Document (as defined in the section "Information Incorporated by Reference"), which is
incorporated by reference in this Prospectus).
Statistical and actuarial approaches are used to:
develop new products;
determine technical reserves, their adequacy (via liability adequacy tests), deferred participation
reserves and assets and the latter's recoverability;
measure certain indicators such as new business value or embedded value (see Embedded Value
report);
measure the value of In-Force business and cash flow projections used for goodwill impairment
testing;
determine potential shock scenarios in order to assess the Group's risk exposure.
Certain assumptions use data extrapolated from past experience or prospective data that draw upon:
economic, demographic, social, legislative, regulatory or financial trends;
policyholder behaviour (surrender rate, renewal/non-renewal rate, etc.);
