On January 8, Crédit Agricole Assurances launched a tender offer for two tranches of subordinated bonds, totaling 2 billion euros in circulation, with the intention of issuing new Tier 2 bonds. The final results of the operation will be announced on January 16, 2026. Additionally, the company announced the repayment effective January 26, 2026, of senior non-preferred bonds issued in 2021 for 1.5 billion dollars. These transactions are part of the group's active debt management and did not cause significant movement in the stock during the session. The outlook remains positive for the bank, which unveiled its strategic plan ACT 2028 last November, aiming for 60 million clients and a net profit of over 8.5 billion euros. The schedule includes the publication of the annual results for 2025 on February 4.
