Fitch assigns Coface Re 'A+' with Outlook Stable

Today, Wednesday March 4^th 2015, Fitch Ratings assigned Coface Re an Insurer Financial Strength (IFS) rating of 'A+', Outlook Stable

Coface Re SA, domiciled in Switzerland, is 100% owned by Coface SA.

As pointed out by Fitch, this rating relies on:

• The company's core status within the Coface group, as it exists solely to accept internal reinsurance.
• The strong position of the Group as the global 3^rd largest credit insurer.
• The fact that Coface Re does not bring any additional underwriting risk to the Group, as the Group external reinsurance policy remains unchanged.

Thanks to the creation of Coface Re, the Group intends to optimize its reinsurance flows, support the development of Coface Partner network and increase the range of services available to its international customers.
