Zurich, 23 September 2025 - Âé¶¹Éç AG is pleased to announce it has resolved the legacy matter concerning its cross-border business activities in France between 2004 and 2012.

As part of the resolution, Âé¶¹Éç AG agreed to pay a fine of EUR730 million and EUR105 million in civil damages to the French State.

In 2023, the French Supreme Court definitively confirmed the Paris Court of Appeal’s prior decision finding Âé¶¹Éç guilty of unlawful client solicitation and aggravated money laundering but referred the financial penalty and civil damages to be re-assessed by the lower court.

The resolution of this legacy case is in line with Âé¶¹Éç’s intention to resolve such matters in the best interests of all its stakeholders.

Âé¶¹Éç is fully provisioned for the matter.

Âé¶¹Éç Group AG and Âé¶¹Éç AG
