ii

Persons into whose possession this Prospectus comes are required by the Issuer and the Managers to
inform themselves about and to observe any such restrictions on the distribution of this Prospectus and
the offering and sale of the Notes (see the section headed "Subscription and Sale").
PRIIPS/IMPORTANT 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 EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of the
following: (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, as amended, 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 Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, the Prospectus
Regulation). Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014
(as amended, 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.
PRIIPS/IMPORTANT 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 UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of the
following: (a) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of UK Delegated Regulation; or (b) 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 UK MiFIR; 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.
Consequently, no key information document required by 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 / Professional investors and ECPs only target market Solely for
the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in
respect of the Notes taking into account the five categories referred to in item 18 of the Guidelines
published by ESMA on 5 February 2018 has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the
Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all
channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate.
Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a distributor) should take into
consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID I
is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either
adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate
distribution channels.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the Securities Act), or under any state securities laws. Accordingly, the Notes may not be offered or
sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation
S (Regulation S) of the Securities Act) except pursuant to an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act.
In connection with the issue of the Notes, Société Générale will act as stabilising manager (the
Stabilising Manager). The Stabilising Manager (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilising Manager)
may over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market value of the Notes at a
level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, stabilisation may not necessarily occur.
Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the final
terms of the offer of the Notes is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later
than the earlier of thirty (30) calendar days after the issue date of the Notes and sixty (60) calendar
days after the date of the allotment of the Notes. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment shall be
conducted in accordance with applicable laws and rules.
iii

The Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors
Each prospective investor in the 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.
Each potential investor in the Notes must determine the suitability of that investment in light of
its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor may wish to consider, either on its
own or with the help of its financial and other professional advisers whether it:
(i)
has sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Notes,
the merits and risks of investing in the Notes and the information contained or
incorporated by reference in this Prospectus;
(ii)
has access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context
of its particular financial situation, an investment in the Notes and the impact the Notes
will have on its overall investment portfolio;
(iii)
has sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in
the Notes, including Notes with principal or interest payable in one or more currencies, or
where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the potential
investor's currency;
(iv)
understands thoroughly the terms and conditions of the Notes, including the provisions
relating to the deeply subordinated ranking and to payment and cancellation of interest
and any write-down of the Notes and is familiar with the behavior of any relevant indices
and financial markets; and
(v)
is able to evaluate possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that
may affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
The Notes are complex financial instruments and may not be a suitable investment for all investors.
Sophisticated institutional investors generally do not purchase complex financial instruments as stand-
alone investments. They purchase complex financial instruments to reduce risk or enhance yield with
an understood, measured and appropriate addition of risk to their overall portfolios. The Notes may also
be difficult to compare with other similar financial instruments due to a lack of fully harmonized
structures, trigger points and loss absorption mechanisms among Additional Tier 1 Capital Instruments.
Each prospective investor should consult its own advisers as to legal, tax and related aspects of its
investment in the Notes. A prospective investor should not invest in the Notes unless it has the
knowledge and expertise (either alone or with a financial adviser) to evaluate how the Notes will perform
under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the likelihood of a Write-Down or meeting the
conditions for resolution, and the impact of this investment on the prospective investor's overal
investment portfolio. An investor's effective yield on the Notes may be diminished by the tax on that
investor's investment in the Notes.
Differences between the Notes and the bank's covered deposits in terms of yield, risk and
liquidity - Prior to acquiring any Notes, investors should note that there are a number of key differences
between the Notes and bank deposits, including without limitations:
(i)
claims in relation to the payment of principal and interest under the Notes rank below claims
under so-cal ed "covered deposits" (being deposits below the EUR 100,000 threshold, or its
equivalent in another currency, benefiting from the protection of the deposit guarantee scheme
in accordance with Directive 2014/49/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16
April 2014);
(ii)
generally, demand deposits will be more liquid than financial instruments such as the Notes;
and
(iii)
generally, the Notes will benefit from a higher yield than a covered deposit denominated in the
same currency and having the same maturity. The higher yield usually results from the higher
risk associated with the Notes.
iv

Taxation
Potential purchasers and sellers of the Notes should be aware that they may be required to pay taxes
or other documentary charges or duties in accordance with the laws and practices of the country where
the Notes are transferred or other jurisdictions, including the Issuer's jurisdiction of incorporation, which
may have an impact on the income received from the Notes. In some jurisdictions, no official statements
of the tax authorities or court decisions may be available for financial instruments such as the Notes.
Prospective investors are advised to ask for their own tax adviser's advice on their individual taxation
with respect to the acquisition, holding, sale and redemption of the Notes. Only these advisors are in a
position to duly consider the specific situation of the prospective investor.
In addition, as a financial institution, the Issuer is, in certain circumstances, required to withhold on any
tax liabilities of holders of the Notes and therefore this may result in investors receiving less than
expected in respect of the Notes. The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) withholding could
be payable in relation to relevant transactions by investors in respect of the Notes if conditions for a
charge to arise are satisfied. Investors should consider the possible FATCA withholding risk in light of
other investments available at that time and consult their own tax adviser to obtain a more detailed
explanation of FATCA and how FATCA may affect them.
It is not clear whether the Notes will be regarded as "debt securities" under the Income Tax Act 1947 of
Singapore (the "Income Tax Act") and the tax treatment to holders of the Notes may differ depending
on the characterisation and treatment of the Notes by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore. In
addition, the Notes are not intended to be "qualifying debt securities" for the purposes of the Income
Tax Act and holders of the Notes will not be eligible for the tax exemption or concessionary tax rates
under the qualifying debt securities scheme. Prospective holders and holders of the Notes should
consult their own accounting and tax advisers regarding the Singapore tax consequences of their
acquisition, holding or disposal of the Notes.
A Noteholder's actual yield on the Notes may be reduced from the stated yield by transaction
costs
When Notes are purchased or sold, several types of incidental costs (including transaction fees and
commissions, fees of third parties involved in the execution of an order) are incurred in addition to the
current price of the security.
In addition to such costs directly related to the purchase of securities (direct costs), Noteholders must
also take into account any follow-up costs (such as custody fees). Prospective investors should inform
themselves about any additional costs incurred in connection with the purchase, custody or sale of the
Notes before investing in the Notes. These incidental costs may significantly reduce or even exclude
the profit potential of the Notes.
Notification under Section 309B(1)(c) of the Securities and Futures Act 2001 of Singapore (the
"SFA") - 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 Securities
and Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018 of Singapore) and Excluded Investment
Products (as defined in MAS Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and MAS
Notice FAA-N16: Notice on Recommendations on Investment Products).
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of, or an invitation by or on behalf of the Issuer or the
Managers to subscribe for, or purchase, any Notes.

II. RISKS RELATING TO THE NOTES
The fol owing does not describe all the risks of an investment in the Notes. Prospective investors should
consult their own financial and legal advisers about risks associated with investment in the Notes and
the suitability of investing in the Notes in light of their particular circumstances.
The following categories of risk factors and risk factors are identified:
1. Risks for the Noteholders as creditors of the Issuer
1.1 The principal amount of the Notes may be reduced to absorb losses, and in case of a
resolution procedure, the Notes may be written down or converted to equity or other resolution
measures may be required by applicable French and European legislation
The Notes are being issued for capital adequacy regulatory purposes with the intention and purpose of
being eligible as Tier 1 Capital of the Issuer. Such eligibility depends upon a number of conditions being
satisfied, which are reflected in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes. One of these relates to the
ability of the Notes and the proceeds of their issue to be available to absorb any losses of the Issuer.
Accordingly, if at any time the Issuer's then-applicable Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio fal s below
5.125% on a consolidated basis, the Current Principal Amount of the Notes wil be partial y or total y
reduced pursuant to Condition 7 (Loss Absorption and Return to Financial Health). The market value of
the Notes is expected to be affected by fluctuations in the Issuer's consolidated Common Equity Tier 1
capital ratio. Any indication that the Issuer's consolidated Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio is trending
towards 5.125% may have an adverse effect on the market value of the Notes. The level of the Issuer's
consolidated Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio may significantly affect the trading price of the Notes.
The terms of other capital instruments already in issue or to be issued after the date of this Prospectus
by the Issuer may vary and accordingly such instruments may not be written down at the same time, or
to the same extent, as the Notes, or at al . Alternatively, such other capital instruments may provide that
they shall convert into Common Equity Tier 1 instruments or become entitled to reinstatement of the
principal amount of the Notes or other compensation in the event of a potential recovery of the Issuer
or any other member of the Group or a subsequent change in the Group's financial condition. Such
capital instruments may also provide for such reinstatement or compensation in different circumstances
from those in which, or to a different extent to which, the principal amount of the Notes may be
reinstated. These elements should be taken into account by investors, as they may adversely affect the
rights of the Noteholders.
The Issuer's current and future outstanding junior or pari passu securities might not include write-down
or similar features with triggers comparable to those of the Notes. As a result, it is possible that the
Notes will be subject to a Write-Down, while junior or pari passu securities remain outstanding and
Noteholders thereof continue to receive payments thereunder. Upon the occurrence of a Loss
Absorption Event, and to the extent that the prior or pro rata write-down or conversion of any other
capital instruments issued by the Issuer is not applicable under their respective terms, or if applicable,
does not occur for any reason, the Write-Down of the Notes shall not in any way be affected.
Noteholders may lose al or some of their investment as a result of such Write-Down of the Notes, or in
certain other circumstances under the BRRD, as amended by the BRRD II, as transposed into French
law.
If the Issuer is subject to resolution, the powers provided to the Resolution Authority in the BRRD and
the SRM Regulation (as defined in "Governmental Supervision and Regulation of the Issuer in
FranceSteps Taken towards Achieving an EU Banking Union") include write-down/conversion powers
9

to ensure that capital instruments (including Additional Tier 1 Capital Instruments such as the Notes
and Tier 2 Capital Instruments) and bail-inable liabilities (including senior debt instruments if junior
instruments prove insufficient to absorb all losses) absorb losses of the Issuer in accordance with a set
order of priority (the Bail-in Power).
The Resolution Authority could also, independently of a resolution measure or in combination with a
resolution measure, ful y or partial y write-down or convert capital instruments (such as the Notes) into
ordinary shares or other instruments of ownership, if certain conditions are met. See also
"Governmental Supervision and Regulation of the Issuer in FranceResolution Framework in France
and European Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive").
Condition 17 (Acknowledgment of Bail-In Power and Statutory Write-down or Conversion) contains
provisions giving effect to the Bail-in Power in the context of resolution and write-down or conversion of
capital instruments at the point of non-viability.
The Bail-in Power could result in the ful (i.e. to zero) or partial write-down or conversion into ordinary
shares or other instruments of ownership of the Notes, or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the
variation of the terms of the Notes (for example, the interest payable may be altered and/or a temporary
suspension of payments may be ordered). The exercise of any of these powers may adversely affect
the rights of Noteholders and Noteholders may lose all or some of their investment in the Notes.
In addition, the Issuer has to meet, at al times, a minimum requirement for own funds and eligible
liabilities (MREL), as well as the standard on total loss absorbing capacity (TLAC) which is set forth in
a term sheet (the FSB TLAC Term Sheet) published by the financial stability board (FSB). The CRR II
and the BRRD II give effect to the FSB TLAC Term Sheet and modify the requirements for MREL
eligibility. At the date of this Prospectus, the Issuer is above its MREL or TLAC requirements.
Any failure by the Issuer and/or the Group to comply with its MREL or TLAC requirements may have a
material adverse effect on the Issuer's or the Group's business, financial conditions and results of
operations and could result, among other things, in the imposition of restrictions or prohibitions on
discretionary payments by the Issuer. In addition, the application of any measure under the French
implementing provisions of the BRRD and BRRD II or any suggestion of such application with respect
to the Issuer or the Group could, with respect to capital instruments such as the Notes, material y
adversely affect the rights of Noteholders, the price or value of an investment in the Notes and/or the
ability of the Issuer to satisfy its obligations under the Notes, and as a result, investors may lose their
entire investment.
Moreover, if the Issuer's financial condition deteriorates, the existence of the Bail-in Power or the
exercise of write-down/conversion powers or any other resolution tools by the Resolution Authority
independently of a resolution measure or in combination with a resolution measure when it determines
that the institution or its group will no longer be viable could cause the market value of the Notes to
decline more rapidly than would be the case in the absence of such powers. See also "Noteholders'
returns may be limited or delayed by the insolvency of the Issuer" and "Governmental Supervision and
Regulation of the Issuer in France".
Therefore, the application of any measure under the French implementing provisions of the BRRD and
BRRD II or any suggestion of such application to the Issuer or the Group could material y and adversely
af ect the rights of investors and/or the price or value of their investment in any Notes and/or the ability
of the Issuer to satisfy its obligations under any Notes, and as a result investors may lose their entire
investment.
1.2 Additional Tier 1 Capital Notes constitute deeply subordinated obligations of the Issuer
which ranking may change without Noteholders' consent depending on their recognition as Own
Funds of the Issuer
Deeply subordinated debt obligations such as Additional Tier 1 Capital Notes carry a substantial risk
that investors wil lose all or some of their investment should the Issuer become subject to any resolution
or insolvency procedure.
Any obligations resulting from the Additional Tier 1 Capital Notes would only be satisfied if and to the
extent any obligations with a higher priority ranking than the Additional Tier 1 Capital Notes have been
satisfied in ful . If such obligations with a higher priority ranking than the Additional Tier 1 Capital Notes
have not been satisfied in full, the obligations of the Issuer in connection with the Notes wil be
