Euro 125,000,000,000
Euro Medium Term Note Programme
for the issue of Obligations Foncières due from one month from the date of original issue
Under the Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "Programme") described in this base prospectus (the "Base Prospectus"), Compagnie de Financement Foncier (the "Issuer"
or "Compagnie de Financement Foncier"), subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and directives, may from time to time issue obligations foncières (the
"Obligations Foncières" or the "Notes"), benefiting from the statutory privilège created by Article L.513-11 of the French Code monétaire et financier, as more fully described
herein. The aggregate nominal amount of Notes outstanding will not at any time exceed Euro 125,000,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies).
This Base Prospectus constitutes a base prospectus for the purposes of article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended (the "Prospectus Regulation").
This Base Prospectus has been approved by the French Autorité des marchés financiers (the "AMF") in France, in its capacity as competent authority pursuant to the Prospectus
Regulation and, at the same time for the notification of a certificate of approval released to the Commission de surveillance du secteur financier in Luxembourg for Notes issued under
the Programme to be admitted to trading on the Regulated Market (as defined below) of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, both of approval and notification being made in its
capacity as competent authority under the Prospectus Regulation. The AMF only approves this Base Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and
consistency imposed by the Prospectus Regulation. Such approval should not be considered as an endorsement of either the Issuer or the quality of the Notes that are the subject of this
Base Prospectus and investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in the Notes.
Application may be made to Euronext Paris for Notes issued under the Programme for the period of 12 months after the date of the approval granted by the AMF on this Base Prospectus
to be admitted to trading on Euronext Paris and/or any other Regulated Market (as defined below) and/or to be offered to the public pursuant to a non-exempt offer in accordance with
the Prospectus Regulation in any member state (the "Member State(s)") of the European Economic Area (the "EEA"). Euronext Paris is a regulated market for the purposes of the
Markets in Financial Instruments Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014, as amended, appearing on the list of regulated markets issued
by the European Commission (a "Regulated Market"). Notes which are not admitted to trading on a Regulated Market, or which are not offered to the public pursuant to a non-
exempt offer, in a Member State of the EEA may be issued under the Programme and may also be admitted to trading on an alternative stock exchange or may not be admitted to
trading at all. The relevant final terms (the "Final Terms") in respect of the issue of any Notes will specify whether or not such Notes will be admitted to trading and/or offered
to the public pursuant to a non-exempt offer in a Member State of the EEA and, if so, the relevant market or jurisdiction.
Each time the Notes will be admitted to trading on Euronext Paris, the Notes will also be admitted to trading on the Regulated Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
This Base Prospectus shall be valid for the admission to trading of Notes on a Regulated Market and/or the offering of Notes to the public pursuant to a non-exempt offer in
accordance with the Prospectus Regulation until 15 June 2022, provided that it is completed by any supplement, pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation, following
the occurrence of a significant new factor, a material mistake or a material inaccuracy relating to the information included (or incorporated by reference) in this Base Prospectus
which may affect the assessment of an investment in the Notes. The obligation to supplement this Base Prospectus in the event of a significant new factor, material mistake or
material inaccuracy does not apply when this Base Prospectus is no longer valid.
Notes may be issued either in dematerialised form ("Dematerialised Notes") or in materialised form ("Materialised Notes") as more fully described herein.
Dematerialised Notes will at all times be in book entry form in compliance with Articles L.211-3 et seq. and R.211-1 of the French Code monétaire et financier. No physical documents
of title will be issued in respect of the Dematerialised Notes.
Dematerialised Notes may, at the option of the Issuer, be in bearer dematerialised form (au porteur) inscribed as from the issue date in the books of Euroclear France ("Euroclear
France") (acting as central depositary) which shall credit the accounts of Account Holders (as defined in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes - Form, Denomination, Title and
Redenomination") including, Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and the depositary bank for Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream"), or in registered dematerialised
form (au nominatif) and, in such latter case, at the option of the relevant holder, in either fully registered dematerialised form (nominatif pur), in which case they will be inscribed
with a registration agent (appointed in the relevant Final Terms) for the Issuer, or in administered registered dematerialised form (nominatif administré) in which case they will
be inscribed in the accounts of the Account Holders (as defined in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes - Form, Denomination, Title and Redenomination") designated by the
relevant holder of Notes.
Materialised Notes will be in bearer materialised form only and may only be issued outside France. A temporary global certificate in bearer form without interest coupons attached
(a "Temporary Global Certificate") will initially be issued in relation to Materialised Notes. Such Temporary Global Certificate will subsequently be exchanged for definitive
Materialised Notes in bearer form (the "Definitive Materialised Notes") on or after a date expected to be on or about the 40th day after the issue date of the Notes (subject to
postponement as described in "Temporary Global Certificates issued in respect of Materialised Notes") upon certification as to non-US beneficial ownership with, where
applicable, coupons for interest attached.
The Programme has been rated Aaa by Moody's France SAS ("Moody's"), AAA by S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited ("S&P") and AAA by Scope Ratings AG ("Scope").
It is expected that the Notes issued under the Programme will be rated AAA by S&P, Aaa by Moody's and AAA by Scope. Each of S&P, Moody's and Scope is established in
the European Union, registered under Regulation (EC) No.1060/2009 on credit ratings agencies, as amended (the "CRA Regulation") and included in the list of registered credit
rating agencies published on the website of the European Securities and Markets Authority (http://www.esma.europa.eu/supervision/credit-rating-agencies/risk). The relevant
Final Terms will specify whether or not such credit ratings are issued by a credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered under the CRA Regulation. A
rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, change or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.
The final terms of the Notes will be determined at the time of the offering of each Tranche and will be set out in the relevant Final Terms.

The date of this Base Prospectus is 15 June 2021.


This Base Prospectus (together with any supplements thereto published from time to time (each a
"Supplement" and together the "Supplements")) constitutes a base prospectus for the purposes of Article 8 of
the Prospectus Regulation in respect of, and for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Issuer
and the Notes which is necessary information material to an investor for making an informed assessment of
the assets and liabilities, profit and losses, financial position, and prospects of the Issuer, the rights attaching
to the Notes, the reasons for the issuance and its impact on the Issuer and may only be used for the purposes
for which it has been published.
This Base Prospectus is to be read in conjunction with any Supplement that may be published from time to
time and with all documents which are incorporated herein by reference (see "Documents Incorporated by
Reference") and in relation to any Series (as defined herein) of Notes, should be read and construed together
with the relevant Final Terms.
No person has been authorised to give any information or to make any representation other than those
contained in this Base Prospectus in connection with the issue or sale of the Notes and, if given or made, such
information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuer or any of the
Dealers or the Arranger. Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus nor any sale made in connection
herewith shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs
of the Issuer since the date hereof or the date upon which this Base Prospectus has been most recently
amended or supplemented or that there has been no adverse change in the financial position of the Issuer
since the date hereof or the date upon which this Base Prospectus has been most recently amended or
supplemented or that any other information supplied in connection with the Programme is correct as of any
time subsequent to the date on which it is supplied or, if different, the date indicated in the document
containing the same.
The Issuer has undertaken with the Dealers to amend or supplement this Base Prospectus or publish a new
Base Prospectus following the occurrence of a significant new factor, a material mistake or a material
inaccuracy relating to the information included (or incorporated by reference) in this Base Prospectus which
may affect the assessment of an investment in the Notes.
Other than in relation to the documents which are deemed to be incorporated by reference (see"Documents
Incorporated by Reference"), the information on the websites to which this Base Prospectus refers does not
form part of this Base Prospectus unless that information is incorporated by reference into the Base
Prospectus and has not been scrutinised or approved by the AMF.
Each prospective investor of Notes must determine, based on its own independent review and such
professional advice as it deems appropriate under the circumstances, that its acquisition of the Notes is fully
consistent with its financial needs, objectives and condition, complies and is fully consistent with all
investment policies, guidelines and restrictions applicable to it and is a fit, proper and suitable investment
for it, notwithstanding the clear and substantial risks inherent in investing in or holding the Notes.
A prospective investor may not rely on the Issuer, the Arranger or any of the Dealers or any of their affiliates
in connection with its determination as to the legality of its acquisition of the Notes or as to the other matters
referred to above.
Potential purchasers and sellers of the Notes should be aware that payments of interest on the Notes, or
profits realised by a holder of Notes upon the disposal or repayment thereof, may be subject to taxation or
documentary charges or duties in its home jurisdiction or in other jurisdictions in which it is required to pay
taxes or where the Notes are transferred. In some jurisdictions, no official statements of the tax authorities
or court decisions may be available for innovative financial obligations such as Notes. Potential investors are
advised to ask for their own tax adviser's advice on their individual taxation with respect to the subscription,
A44530876

acquisition, ownership, disposal and redemption of the Notes. Only these advisors are in a position to duly
consider the specific situation of the potential investor.
IMPORTANT NOTICE RELATING TO GREEN BONDS OR SOCIAL BONDS
Prospective investors should have regard to the information set out in the relevant Final Terms regarding
use of proceeds and must determine for themselves the relevance of such information for the purpose of any
investment in green bonds (the "Green Bonds") or social bonds (the "Social Bonds"), as the case may be,
together with any other investigation such investor deems necessary. In particular, no assurance is given by
the Issuer or the Dealers that the use of proceeds for any loan will satisfy, whether in whole or in part, any
present or future investor expectations or requirements as regards any investment criteria or guidelines with
which such investor or its investments are required to comply, whether by any present or future applicable
law or regulations or by the Issuer's own by-laws or other governing rules or investment portfolio mandates,
in particular with regard to any direct or indirect environmental or social impact of any loan or uses related
to any loan. Furthermore, it should be noted that there is currently no clearly defined definition (legal,
regulatory or otherwise) of, nor market consensus as to what constitutes a "green", a "social", "sustainable"
or an equivalently-labelled asset is currently under development. In addition the requirements of any such
label may evolve from time to time, accordingly, no assurance is or can be given to investors that any loan
or use(s) the subject of, or related to, any loan will meet any or all investor expectations regarding such
"green", "social" or other equivalently-labelled performance objectives.
No assurance or representation is given as to the suitability or reliability for any purpose whatsoever of any
opinion or certification of any third party (whether or not solicited by the Issuer) which may be made
available in connection with the issue of any Green Bonds or Social Bonds, as the case may be, and in
particular with any loan, to fulfil any environmental, social and/or other criteria. Currently, the providers
of such opinions and certifications are not subject to any specific regulatory or other regime or oversight.
Any such opinion or certification is not, nor should be deemed to be, a recommendation by the Issuer or any
other person to buy, sell or hold any such Green Bonds or such Social Bonds, as the case may be. For the
avoidance of doubt, neither the second party opinions, nor any such other opinion or certification is, or shall
be deemed to be, incorporated in and/or form part of this Base Prospectus.
No Dealer makes any representation as to the suitability of the Green Bonds or Social Bonds, as the case may
be, to fulfil any environmental, social and/or other criteria required by prospective investors. The Dealers
have not undertaken, nor are responsible for, any assessment of the eligibility criteria, any verification of
whether the Green Bonds or Social Bonds, as the case may be, meet the eligibility criteria, or the monitoring
of the use of proceeds. Investors should refer to the Issuer's website or any third-party opinion.
CERTAIN SELLING RESTRICTIONS
The distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offering or sale of the Notes in certain jurisdictions may be
restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Base Prospectus comes are required by the Issuer, the
Dealers and the Arranger to inform themselves about and to observe any such restriction. The Notes have
not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act") or with any security regulation authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and
include Materialised Notes in bearer form that are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. Subject to certain
exceptions, Notes may not be offered or sold to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities
Act ("Regulation S")) or, in the case of Materialised Notes in bearer form, delivered within the United States
or to United States persons (as defined under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended).

THE NOTES ARE BEING OFFERED OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO NON-U.S. PERSONS IN
RELIANCE ON REGULATION S.
For a description of certain restrictions on offers and sales of Notes and on distribution of this Base
Prospectus, see "Subscription and Sale".
IMPORTANT ­ EEA RETAIL INVESTORS - If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes include a legend
entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or
otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor
in the European Economic Area ("EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one
(or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended,
"MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU (the "Insurance Distribution
Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article
4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of the Prospectus Regulation.
Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the "PRIIPs
Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the
EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to
any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
IMPORTANT ­ UK RETAIL INVESTORS - If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes include a legend
entitled "Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or
otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor
in the United Kingdom ("UK"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more)
of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of
UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA"); or (ii) a customer
within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended ("FSMA")
and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that
customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU)
No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as
defined in Article 2 of the Prospectus Regulation as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA
(the "UK Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU)
No 1286/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for
offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been
prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor
in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
MIFID II product governance / target market ­ The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a
legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect
of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently
offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration such
determination; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target
market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and
determining appropriate distribution channels. A determination will be made in relation to each issue about
whether, for the purpose of the MiFID Product Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593
(the "MiFID Product Governance Rules"), any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect
of such Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will
be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MIFID Product Governance Rules.
UK MiFIR product governance / target market ­ The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a
legend entitled "UK MiFIR Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect
of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently
A44530876
3


offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration such
determination; however, a distributor subject to FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product
Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules") is responsible for undertaking its own
target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market
assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels. A determination will be made in relation to
each issue about whether, for the purpose of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules, any Dealer
subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor
the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the UK MiFIR
Product Governance Rules.
SINGAPORE SFA PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION ­ In connection with Section 309B of the Securities and
Futures Act (Chapter 289) of Singapore, as modified or amended from time to time (the "SFA") and the
Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018 of Singapore (the "CMP Regulations
2018"), unless otherwise specified before an offer of Notes, the Issuer has determined, and hereby notifies all
relevant persons (as defined in Section 309A(1) of the SFA), that the Notes are `prescribed capital markets
products' (as defined in the CMP Regulations 2018) and Excluded Investment Products (as defined in MAS

amendment thereto) contains a misrepresentation, provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are
exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser's
province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of
the purchaser's province or territory for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor. Unless
otherwise specified in the Final Terms, pursuant to section 3A.3 (or, in the case of securities issued or
guaranteed by the government of a non-Canadian jurisdiction, section 3A.4) of National Instrument 33-105
Underwriting Conflicts (NI 33-105), the Dealers are not required to comply with the disclosure requirements
of NI 33-105 regarding underwriter conflicts of interest in connection with this offering. Also see
