Business DescriptionCrédit Logement is the leading provider in France of guarantees for French non-mortgage-backed residential housing loans toindividuals. The loans guaranteed by Crédit Logement, which are extended by its shareholders and partners, are secured against aguarantee issued by Crédit Logement rather than against a mortgage, where the loan is secured by the property itself. In general, aguarantee is less expensive and much quicker to set up than a mortgage lien for the borrower. Similarly, the activation of the guaranteeby banks in case of a customer’s default ensures swifter payment than with a mortgage given the legal proceedings involved. Actuallyit is Crédit Logement that will take care of the legal actions in lieu of the bank. Moreover, banks tend to have recourse to guaranteedloans, as that enables them to maintain commercial ties with their clients without having to be overly involved in the foreclosure andrecovery process in case of default.

Crédit Logement’s acceptance criteria benefit from double due diligence at origination – by both the originator (i.e. the partner bank)and Crédit Logement itself. At origination, loans are booked onto the balance sheets of partner banks, which also collect interest andrepayment of principal.

Crédit Logement can be called upon by the originators when there is a 90-day arrear (or three missed payments). The bank then hasone to two months to inform Crédit Logement of the default. When contacted, Crédit Logement checks that all information regardingthe borrower and the project in general corresponds to what had been declared at the time the loan was granted, in order to assess ifthe claim is eligible.

If so, Crédit Logement starts the pre-default phase, whereby it assists the borrower in working out a suitable solution to pay its debt. Atthis stage, Crédit Logement pays to the partner bank only the missed instalments, not the entire principal.

If Credit Logement determines that the debtor has defaulted, the principal amount of the loan is transferred onto Crédit Logement’sbalance sheet. Crédit Logement either obtains a judicial mortgage, which eventually leads, after various court decisions, to the judicialsale of the property, or comes to an agreement with the borrower and stops the judicial proceeding, usually through a private sale.

The guarantee system used by Crédit Logement is based on the principle of mutualisation, as reflected in the financial participation ofeach borrower in a mutual guarantee fund. The fund is resorted to by Credit Logement to compensate partner banks in case of unpaidinstalments, or totally when a default has been declared. If it is determined that a debt is not recoverable, any outstanding sum due iswithdrawn from the mutual guarantee fund.

Thus, the mutual guarantee fund – constituted to cope with the portfolio’s credit risk – covers the loss ratio for the guarantee portfolioon residential loans.

In accordance with Credit Logement’s mutual guarantee fund rules, the participation of each borrower may be reimbursed after CréditLogement’s commitment has been released with the provision that Crédit Logement would deduct – on a pro rata basis – the share ofthe fund that will not be available given the portfolio’s expected loss.

Crédit Logement benefits from a commitment from its shareholders to maintain its solvency at the required level. At year-end 2016,this commitment amounted to €2.6 billion.

Crédit Logement also manages debt collection, including guaranteed and third-party debts such as non-guaranteed residential debts,mainly on behalf of one of its main shareholders.

Crédit Logement has two main sources of revenues – commission charged to individual borrowers on “prêts cautionnés” and incomefrom the investment of its capital in interbank deposits, which are mainly placed at its shareholders.
