🇵🇱 Supporting Poland’s defence objectives through landmark export finance. We are proud to have supported the financing of a SEK 47 billion commercial contract between the Armament Agency of Poland and Saab for the construction and delivery of three A26 submarines. The EKN-covered export credit facility was signed with Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK), acting as borrower and operator of the Armed Forces Support Fund. This financing represents a landmark for the export finance market: 📌 The largest defence transaction ever supported by EKN Exportkreditnämnden in Poland. 📌 The first EKN-covered loan in the defence sector led by a commercial bank. On this transaction, we acted as Sole Underwriter, Bookrunner, Sole Global Coordinator, Initial Mandated Lead Arranger, Documentation Bank, and Facility & ECA Agent. Aligned with our "ACT28" strategic plan, this transaction reflects our commitment to supporting European defence sovereignty through our export finance expertise. 👏 Congratulations to all teams involved!

🍽️ 200 meals, one shared commitment to supporting our communities in Australia Last month, our colleagues in Sydney volunteered at Our Big Kitchen, a community kitchen dedicated to tackling food insecurity across Australia. Across two half-day sessions, we worked together to prepare meals that were distributed to shelters, charities and community organisations supporting people in need. This initiative is a reminder that small actions, when taken collectively, can make a meaningful difference. 🤝 A sincere thank you to Our Big Kitchen for the incredible work they do every day and for giving us the opportunity to contribute.

✈️ Proud to have accompanied Virgin Australia on a USD 410 million sustainability-linked syndicated facility to finance nine fuel-efficient Boeing 737-8 aircraft, with four already delivered. These next-generation aircraft deliver a 20% reduction in fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions versus previous models, supporting Virgin Australia's commitment to targeting net zero emissions by 2050. The loan’s sustainability performance targets are benchmarked against the Transition Pathway Initiative (TPI)'s below 2-degree pathway, ensuring credibility and impact. This transaction marks a milestone as one of the first broadly syndicated sustainability-linked aircraft financings in Asia Pacific's aviation sector. Building on our longstanding partnership with Virgin Australia, we acted as Mandated Lead Arranger, Underwriter, Bookrunner and Sustainability Coordinator, as well as sole Agent and Security Trustee. 👏 Congratulations to all teams involved!

🇪🇺 Mobilising up to €600 million guarantees for Europe's power grid’s expansion and enhancement. After a first partnership with the European Investment Bank (EIB) focusing on wind farm industry in November 2025, we are proud to be one of the first French Banks to sign this new partnership with EIB. ⚡ Part of the broader EIB programme InvestEU, this initiative is strengthening our capacity to support large-scale modernisation projects across Europe's Power Grid infrastructure. With €300 million in EIB counter-guarantees, we can unlock up to €600 million in bank guarantees for our clients. This new partnership will accelerate the deployment of critical energy infrastructure while mobilising private capital from institutional and banking partners - essential to Europe's #StrategicAutonomy.

🤝 Proud to have advised iCON Infrastructure LLP on the sale of its 49.78% equity stake in SELCHP (South East London Combined Heat and Power) to MEAG, the asset manager of Munich Re.

Veolia will remain a co-owner and operator of the plant. ♻️ This transaction is an example of the growing investor appetite for waste management infrastructure assets. We are pleased to have contributed to bringing this deal to a successful close and congratulate all parties involved.
