RELEASE

Prêt d'Union is an Internet peer-to-peer lending platform which enables investors-lenders (physical persons or legal entities) to directly finance French consumer loans. Its 100% web-based banking disintermediation model enables the company to remove all the complexity and costs of the traditional banking system to offer attractive rates of return to investors-lenders and competitive loan rates to borrowers. Ranked as one of the top 5 most disruptive French start-ups in 2014¹ , Prêt d'Union has already granted loans of €200 million since its commercial launch in December 2011 (annual growth exceeding 100%) and has more than 80 employees in France.

Eurazeo Croissance, partnered with Pierre Kosciusko-Morizet, has contributed €17 million to the €31 million in funds raised by the pool, which also includes the renowned investors of La French Tech. Eurazeo Croissance's human and financial support will enable Prêt d'Union to commence its European expansion and pursue its growth in France, through numerous hirings, the launch of innovative technology projects involving Big Data and ongoing investments in customer experience.

Virginie Morgon, Deputy CEO of Eurazeo, stated: "The investment in Prêt d'Union goes hand in hand with Eurazeo Croissance's philosophy and ambition: contribute to the emergence of future leaders, particularly in sectors driven by growth in the sharing economy and digital transformation, by providing them over the long term with the resources needed to fulfil their ambitions. We are fully committed to assisting Prêt d'Union with its development, in France and abroad, in the markets that Eurazeo has already conquered."

"As the leading investor in Prêt d'Union's capital increase, Eurazeo Croissance is proud to join forces with a managerial team which has demonstrated the strength of its business model", added Yann-Hervé du Rusquec, Head of Eurazeo Croissance.

Geoffroy Guigou the Chief Operating Officer of Prêt d'Union and Charles Egly, Chairman of the Executive Board, also affirmed "We are delighted to team up with Eurazeo, which, through its expertise and extensive international network, will enable our company to reach an important milestone, by recreating our success in France in other European markets."
