2. ABE SCF Covered Bond Programme
AXA Bank Europe Société de Crédit Foncier (ABE SCF) programme was initially set-up in 2010 as a
funding platform for AXA Bank Europe (ABE).
The Obligations Foncières issued by ABE SCF were originally secured by AAA-rated RMBS Notes
backed by prime Belgian residential mortgage loans originated and serviced by ABE.
The Obligations Foncières issued by ABE SCF are rated Aaa/AAA by Moody’s/Fitch.
Since November 2014, ABE SCF is also being used as a funding platform for AXA Banque (France).
In November 2014, ABE SCF subscribed a €450 MM Mortgage Promissory Note (*) backed by
guaranteed French residential home loans originated by AXA Banque in France and serviced by
Crédit Foncier de France (CFF).
The underlying residential loans are guaranteed by Crédit Logement (currently rated Aa3, Outlook
Stable by Moody’s / AAL, Outlook Stable by DBRS).
To subscribe such Mortgage Promissory Note, ABE SCF issued a €400 MM 5Y Obligations Foncières
Series that has been purchased by AXA Banque (France).

AXA Bank Europe supports AXA Bank Europe SCF:
Via a cash advance mechanism: AXA Bank Europe will advance cash in an amount equal to the sums to be
paid by AXA Bank Europe SCF under the Obligations Foncières which cannot be paid from the interest received
from the cover pool assets on each payment date.
As provider of a loan to finance the overcollateralization (OC):
- Minimum 5% OC at the SCF level has to be maintained at all times;
- OC level 12.3% @ 31/12/16 (vs. min. 5% required by law / rating agencies; vs. target > 10%).
As provider of a first demand guarantee to cover AXA Banque (France)’s obligations under the Mortgage
Promissory Note.
AXA Bank Europe SCF also benefits from credit enhancement:
At the RMBS level:
- The SCF only invests in AAA-rated Senior RMBS Notes backed by prime Belgian residential mortgage loans originated by
AXA Bank Europe;
- Current credit enhancement for the AAA Senior RMBS Notes: Royal Street RS-2 @ 17.7% / Royal Street RS-3 @ 13.5%.
At the Mortgage Promissory Note level:
- The outstanding nominal (> €500 MM) of the guaranteed residential home loan portfolio exceeds by 11% the
outstanding nominal of the Mortgage Promissory Note(= € 450 MM).

Structural Enhancements (1/3)
21 | AXA Bank Europe SCF // Investor Presentation
AXA Bank Europe SCF assets are predominantly AAA-rated Senior RMBS Notes issued by Royal Street
in Belgium, which has been used for the purpose of transferring Belgian assets to the French SCF.
AXA Bank Europe’s primary motivation for structuring RMBS Notes used as collateral of the SCF was
to facilitate the cross-boarder transfer of Belgian mortgage loans into the French Société de Crédit
Foncier (AXA Bank Europe SCF).
True sale of the mortgages at the RMBS level and sale of the Senior RMBS Notes to AXA Bank Europe

Liquidity Support
24 | AXA Bank Europe SCF // Investor Presentation
Interest rate risk is mitigated using swaps.
AXA Bank Europe SCF enters into a swap for each publicly placed Series of Obligations Foncières to swap the
Euribor 3 month floating interest rate received on the RMBS Notes into the fixed rate coupon to be paid to the
publicly placed Obligations Foncières’ investors.
No swaps have been concluded at the French Mortgage Promissory Note level since the (fixed rate) coupon is
matched with the (fixed rate) coupon of the corresponding Obligations Foncières Series.
The notional of each swap is the amount of the respective Series of Obligations Foncières.
Hedging counterparties are subject to minimum rating requirements as defined per rating agencies
methodologies.
Swaps comply with the swap criteria of Moody’s and Fitch.
One-way collateral posting under CSA.

Interest Rate Hedging Strategy
25 | AXA Bank Europe SCF // Investor Presentation
As from January 1st 2018, the end of the CRD IV/CRR Waiver requires that own issued RMBS subscribed
by a SCF may only be refinanced up to 10% of the nominal amount of the OF & other liabilities
benefiting from the privilège.
This regulatory evolution drives ABE SCF towards a transformation of the current balance sheet structure.
RMBS as collateral to be replaced by secured loans (allowed since the vote of Sapin II Law in December 2016).

AXA Bank Europe SCF // Investor Presentation 32
House Price Index Belgium (2006=100)
Financial crisis of 2008 had a temporary and mild impact on house prices in Belgium.
Since 2010, house prices steadily increased (in line with inflation).
The continued economic recovery and tendency to invest in real estate are expected to exert upward pressure on prices in the future though counterweighted by further regulation.
New production (excl ref)/total outstanding
of home loans (€bn)
Low interest rate environment triggers higher levels of new mortgage loan production since 2014.
Last 15 years a large growth in the Belgian home-financing market. Total credit outstanding increased from €50bn in 2000 to €192bn in 2016.
Elements that sustain this growth:
Tax incentives (see slide 63 for more info);
Structural factors: wage indexation and pension
planning(2nd real estate);
Cultural factors: majority of Belgian population
wants to be property owner (~70% of households
own their own property)

Belgian Home Loans Market (2/3)
AXA Bank Europe SCF // Investor Presentation 33
Client rates for new mortgage loans reached historically low levels in 2015-2016.
Low rates have triggered clients to refinance their mortgage loans. Belgian mortgage loan regulation stipulates that the maximum financial penalty for early redemption by borrowers is 3 months’ interest due on the remaining capital outstanding.
Internal refinancing volumes are decreasing since July 2016.

Since 2007 credit quality has been increasing due to more stringent underwriting criteria.
Default rate after 2 years for loans originated in 2007 stood at 2% and only 1% for loans originated in 2013

mortgage loans and aggregate LTV ratio
Default rates Belgian mortgage market
Source: NBB FSR 2016
Source: NBB FSR 2016
K€
Average LTV dropped to around 65% in recent years mainly because of:
a wider shift of household’s savings to real estate
a lower tax on gifts and donations stimulating
intergenerational transfers
Implementation of stricter lending criteria during
the last years
New macroprudential measure by national supervisor
National supervisor remains vigilant regarding the Belgian housing market
AXA Bank Europe SCF // Investor Presentation 35
Since the financial crisis, the average household debt % (compared to disposable income) increased in Belgium, while it slightly decreased for the Euro Area.
This has to be seen in conjunction with different mitigating factors:
Belgian households in general have a relatively high ratio of financial assets to debt
Mortgage loans are typically amortized with maturities below 25 years at origination.
Household debt-to-disposable income ratio
Nevertheless, as from July 2017 a new macroprudential measure is taken for domestic mortgage portfolio under IRB approach. This above the already existing measure which implies an RWA add-on of 5% x EAD for all loans.
Macroprudential measure imposes new LGD floors for loans with high LTV
Minimum LGD of 20% for loans with LTV above 80%
Minimum LGD of 30% for loans with LTV above 90%
This measure aims to further increase resilience, while discouraging the productions of loans with LTV ratios higher than 80%.

97% of the home loans produced in 2015 had a fixed interest rate for the entire length of the loan.
56% of home loans are secured by a guarantee.
Various reasons for popularity of guarantees in France:
Borrower: lower cost, simplified administrative
process.
Lending bank: recovery process fully managed by
guarantor, after 3 unpaid installments bank is fully
indemnified by guarantor.
Main features of Crédit Logement (more info on slide 54):
Owned by all major French banks
Solid credit ratings
Ultimate support by the French banking system
*90% of loans at AXA Banque are back by Crédit Logement.
-Mortgage: 1st lien mortgage.
-Guarantee: Commitment to bear the credit risk provided by a credit institution or an insurance company
-Other: Other types of security (eg. pledge of securities portfolio) and no security.

House Price Index France (2010=100)
As end of 2015, home prices remained higher than before the 2008 financial crisis (+21% for Paris, +5.3% for the Ile-de-France region).
In the first 3 quarters of 2016 prices continued their upward path.
Financial crisis of 2008 had a mild impact on house prices in France compared to the Euro Area.
Gross production/total outstanding
of home loans (€Bn)
Durable low rate environment fueled a strong demand for home loans in 2015, both for new purchases and loan refinancing.
Slight decrease in gross annual production in 2014 is driven by a relatively moderate external demand.

Loans Portfolios
AXA Bank Europe
AXA Bank Europe offers mortgage loans in the prime market to individuals for the construction,
purchase , or renovation of property.
Ongoing improvements of the origination process and of the risk control have enabled ABE to
develop its mortgage lending activity, leading to a sustainable growth of its mortgage portfolio since
2001 combined with a safe performance.
Excellent risk profile as the default rate on the production of mortgages since 12 months is about 0.20%.
Excellent recovery rate (> 90% at the end of the recovery process).
As a consequence, the net loss ratio remains very low (0.05%) and is fully covered by a cautious provisioning
policy.
The level of loans in the foreclosure process (doubtful loans) remains low. (please see RS-2 and RS-3 quarterly investor reports available on: https://www.axabank.be/fr/a-propos-axa-banque/investor-
relations-and-financial-information/royal-street)
Since last 2014 internal/external refinancing’s are a large part of the total production; which, at a
risk level, have a potential higher credit worthiness than a new transaction.
AXA Bank Europe Mortgage Portfolio
Introduction
AXA Bank Europe SCF // Investor Presentation 47
-Default rate: proportion of performing loans that will become uncertain in a specified observation window (typically 12 months).
-Doubtful loans: A loan becomes doubtful when there is no perspective for returning back to a performing status. The commercial relationship is stopped and a recovery process will be launched to recover the remaining debt. In the presence of a mortgage inscription on real estate becoming doubtful means the start of the foreclosure process.

Gross margin reached its peak in 2013 and remains high;

AXA Banque Residential Home Loans Portfolio
AXA Banque originates residential home loans to individuals in France since 2006.

Residential home loans production
€M
M
Since 2010, regular and sustained progression of the residential home loans origination activity demonstrating a successful integration of the banking activity within the distribution network of AXA France to insurance clients.
Approximately 90% of these loans are backed by a guarantee from Crédit Logement.
100% of the residential home loans in the French asset pool of AXA Bank Europe SCF are backed by a guarantee from Crédit Logement.
Borrowers at AXA Banque have to subscribe insurance, which covers life accidents (mainly death and disability) and with AXA Banque as beneficiary.
Loan Origination Criteria:
→ Analysis of the client’s ability to repay (Debt to Income < 38%)
→ Max. LTV when granting a loan:
• Max. 100% for own-occupied properties
• Max 110% for properties bought for rental purposes or when the client already owns its main property
Crédit Logement (CRELOG) (rated Aa3, Outlook Stable by Moody’s / AAL, Outlook Stable by DBRS) is
the leading provider of home loan guarantees in France.
The main activity of Crédit Logement is to guarantee banks’ residential home loans to individuals in France.
Its shareholders are the major French banks offering guaranteed home loans.
The acceptance criteria include a double due diligence (by the originator and Crédit Logement itself) when the
loan is originated.
When the loan is originated, the loans are recorded on the balance sheet of the bank which also collects the
payment of the principal and the interests on the loan. After the borrower defaults on three monthly payments
and max. 180 days DPD, Crédit Logement may be called to stand in for the borrower.
When the borrower defaults, Crédit Logement may recover the loan out of Court (before the event of default is
declared) or in Court (after the event of default is declared). When the event of default is declared, Crédit
Logement pays off the lending bank and then replaces the bank in all its rights. It becomes the new creditor and
carries out all the necessary formalities, such as proceeding to judicial mortgage registrations and selling off the
asset.
Because loans are passed onto the guarantor early in the default process, a high proportion of them tend to
become sound again, and they are sent back to the lending bank.
In case of a client’s default, AXA Banque gets the outstanding loan amount form CRELOG.

2a) Segregation of the cover assets Full alignment, the cover assets are segregated in the respective specialised institution
2b) Bankruptcy remoteness of the
covered bond
Partial alignment, appears fully aligned; however, there is absence of the regulatory requirement—as part of the covered bond framework
2c) Administration after insolvency
or resolution
Full alignment, administration delegated to an entity separate from the insolvency court that deals with the insolvency of the issuer
3a) Composition of cover pools Partial alignment, regulatory framework either allow mixed pools and/or do not set out rules on maintaining consistency on composition (substitution of assets allowed for 15% of the amount of issued covered bonds.)

3b) Cover pools assets located in
different jurisdictions
Partial alignment, regulatory framework does not limit the geographical scope to the EEA—i.e. it allows extension to other countries
(France, Belgium)
4a) LTV Limits Full alignment, soft LTV limits, explicit establishment of LTV percentages
4b) LTV measurement and
frequency of revaluation
Full alignment, revaluation required at least every 3 years for residential properties and every year for commercial properties
(Annual)
5) Coverage principles and
legal/regulatory OC
Full alignment, calculation based on the nominal value, according to which the total nominal amount of all assets in the cover pool shall always be at least equal to 105% of the total nominal amount of outstanding covered bonds
(Target 110%)
6a) Use of derivatives Full alignment, Regulatory frameworks in these jurisdictions allow derivatives only for the purposes of hedging risks
6b) Liquidity buffer Full alignment, liquidity buffer to be in place to cover outflows due from both principal and interest (180 days) (cash advance mechanism)
6c) Stress testing Full alignment, all SCF and SFH conduct stress tests on a quarterly basis to assess compliance with coverage requirements
7a) Appointment of the cover pool
monitor
Full alignment, framework establishes a cover pool monitor separate from the position of an ordinary auditor of the issuer
7b) Supervision of CB issuer Full alignment, the establishment of the covered bond programs is approved or licensed by the competent authority or (as a minimum) is subject to prior notification
7c) National authority role in
scenario of the issuer’s insolvency

Before 2015, this was under national jurisdiction.
Home owners can enjoy a reduction of the tax envelope up to an amount of €3,120.
The tax advantage relates to the actual credit expenditure: interest, capital amortization and individual life
insurance premiums guaranteeing the repayment of the credit only.
Tax reduction only possible for credit with a mortgage registration.
All loans closed before 01/01/2015 still enjoy this tax regulation.
Since 2015, tax advantages for home owners are defined on a regional level:
Flemish region: - The tax advantage relates to the actual credit expenditure: interest, capital amortization and individual life insurance premiums
guaranteeing the repayment of the credit only.
- The loan must be secured by a mortgage registration; the dwelling for which the loan is subscribed must be the taxpayer’s own dwelling,...
- The maximum tax envelope for the application of the tax reduction equals €2,360 per taxpayer.
Walloon region - New tax measures apply since 1/1/2016.
- Tax advantage depends on taxpayers’ income.
- If annual income > €81.000: no tax reduction.
- If annual income < €81.000: max. tax envelope equals €1,520 (50% after 10 years).
Brussels region - Until 31/12/2016 , maximum tax envelope for the application of the tax reduction equals €3,150 per taxpayer.
- New rules apply for loans closed after 31/12/2016. No possibility for a tax reduction anymore, but legislation concerning registration fees was adapted/eased.
- In Belgium all purchase of real estate is submit to registration fees. In Brussels region this fee equals 12.5% of the purchase price. Since 1/1/2017 the tranche on which registration fees don’t have to be paid was raised from €60,000 to €175,000 (only for real estate with a price < 500k€).
