On 7 February 2024, the Board of Directors, acting on the authorization of the General Meeting of Shareholders on 24 May 2022, decided to reduce Crédit Agricole S.A.'s share capital by cancelling 26,835,641 treasury shares representing approximately 0.9% of the share capital.
Such capital reduction is effective as from 6 March 2024.
