CNP ASSURANCES 
By
Paris, 25 April 2013
At the Annual General Meeting of CNP Assurances shareholders held on 25 April 2013 in Paris and chaired by Jean-Paul Faugère, Chairman of the Board of Directors, the shareholders approved the financial statements of the Company and the Group for the year ended 31 December 2012.
During the meeting, Mr. Faugère reviewed the economic and financial environment in
2012 and commented on CNP Assurances's resilience in these circumstances.
Frédéric Lavenir, Chief Executive Officer, then took the floor to review the highlights of the year for the Group, its results and the outlook for 2013. He informed shareholders that the impact of the crisis in Cyprus on the Group's financial statements would be reassessed when the quarterly indicators for the first quarter of the year were published, in light of the Cypriot government decree dated 22 April determining the treatment of funds deposited by insurance companies with local banks.
All the resolutions put to the vote were adopted. In particular:
- Frédéric Lavenir was elected as a director for a term corresponding to the period of his appointment as Chief Executive Officer.
- The appointment as directors of Ann-Sophie Grave and Jean-Yves Forel, to replace Antoine Gosset-Grainville and Olivier Klein following their resignation, was ratified.
- The recommendation to pay a dividend of €0.77 per share, unchanged from last year, was approved, as well as the proposal to offer shareholders a scrip option.
The full text of the resolutions and the detailed results of the vote will be posted, in French, on the Company's financial website, www.cnp-finances.fr the day after the Meeting.
