Analisi Approfondita dell'Obbligazione Perpetua AXA con ISIN XS0323922376, Ora Rimborsata L'obbligazione con codice ISIN XS0323922376, emessa da AXA, ha completato il suo ciclo di vita finanziario, essendo stata rimborsata. Questo strumento di debito, sebbene classificato come perpetuo, ha visto la sua estinzione, un evento significativo per gli investitori che ne detenevano quote. **L'Emittente: AXA** AXA è un'entità di spicco a livello globale nel settore assicurativo e della gestione patrimoniale. Con la sua sede principale in Francia, si posiziona come uno dei giganti finanziari mondiali, operando attraverso una vasta rete che serve milioni di clienti in numerosi paesi. La sua reputazione si basa su una solida performance finanziaria, una vasta offerta di prodotti assicurativi (vita, danni, salute) e servizi di gestione degli investimenti, e un approccio prudente alla gestione del rischio. La sua capacità di emettere strumenti di debito come l'obbligazione in questione riflette la sua posizione consolidata nei mercati finanziari internazionali. **Caratteristiche dell'Obbligazione al Momento dell'Emissione e del Rimborso:** * **Tipo di Strumento:** Obbligazione * **Codice ISIN:** XS0323922376 * **Emittente:** AXA * **Paese di Emissione:** Francia * **Prezzo al Rimborso:** L'obbligazione è stata rimborsata al 100% del suo valore nominale, indicando che il rimborso è avvenuto alla pari per gli investitori. * **Valuta:** EUR (Euro) * **Tasso di Interesse:** 6.211% * **Dimensione Totale dell'Emissione:** 750.000.000 EUR * **Taglio Minimo di Acquisto:** 50.000 EUR * **Scadenza:** Perpetua. Nonostante questa designazione, che implica l'assenza di una data di scadenza fissa, l'obbligazione è stata rimborsata. Ciò suggerisce che l'emittente ha esercitato una clausola di richiamo (call option) o che si sono verificate le condizioni previste per la sua estinzione anticipata in base ai termini del prospetto originale. * **Frequenza di Pagamento:** 1 volta all'anno (pagamento annuale degli interessi). La notifica del rimborso conferma che questa specifica obbligazione perpetua di AXA è giunta a conclusione, con gli investitori che hanno ricevuto il capitale investito, in conformità con le clausole e le condizioni che regolavano lo strumento al momento della sua emissione e della sua successiva gestione.

accepted by the Dealers as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained or incorporated
by reference in this Base Prospectus or any other information provided by the Issuer in connection with
the Programme. No Dealer accepts any liability in relation to the information contained or incorporated by
reference in this Base Prospectus or any other information provided by the Issuer in connection with the
Programme. No Dealer accepts any responsibility for any act or omission of the Issuer or any other person

No person is or has been authorised by the Issuer to give any information or to make any representation
not contained in or not consistent with this Base Prospectus or any other information supplied in connection
with the Programme or any 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.
Neither this Base Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection with the Programme or any

Important considerations

This Base Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Notes in
any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make the offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction.
The distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offer or sale of Notes may be restricted by law in certain
jurisdictions. The Issuer and the Dealers do not represent that this Base Prospectus may be lawfully
distributed, or that any Notes may be lawfully offered, in compliance with any applicable registration or
other requirements in any such jurisdiction, or pursuant to an exemption available thereunder, or assume
any responsibility for facilitating any such distribution or offering. In particular, no action has been taken
by the Issuer or the Dealers which is intended to permit a public offering of any Notes or distribution of this
Base Prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, no Notes may
be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and neither this Base Prospectus nor any advertisement or other
offering material may be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will
result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations. Persons into whose possession this Base
Prospectus or any Notes may come must inform themselves about, and observe, any such restrictions on
the distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offering and sale of Notes. In particular, there are
restrictions on the distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offer or sale of Notes in the United States,
the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Belgium, Italy, Japan, Hong Kong,
Singapore and Switzerland, see "Subscription and Sale and Transfer and Selling Restrictions".
Bearer Notes are subject to U.S. tax law requirements and may not be offered, sold or delivered within the
United States or its possessions or to United States persons, except in certain transactions permitted by
U.S. tax regulations. Terms used in this paragraph have the meanings given to them by the U.S. Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the U.S. Internal Revenue Code) and the regulations promulgated
thereunder.
In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the Issuer and the terms
of the Notes being offered, including the merits and risks involved.
Neither the Issuer, nor any of the Dealers makes any representation to any investor in the Notes regarding
the legality of its investment under any applicable laws. Any investor in the Notes should be able to bear
the economic risk of an investment in the Notes for an indefinite period of time.
Each potential investor in the Notes must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own
circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should:
(a)
have 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 Base Prospectus or any applicable supplement;
(b)
have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial and other situation, an investment in the Notes and the impact the Notes wil
have on its overall investment portfolio;
(c)
have 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 (as defined
below);
(d)
understand thoroughly the terms of the Notes and be familiar with the behaviour of any relevant
indices and financial markets and with the regulatory framework applicable to the Issuer; and
(e)
be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for
economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the
applicable risks.
The investment activities of certain investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review
or regulation by certain authorities. Each potential investor should consult its own financial and legal
advisers to determine whether and to what extent (i) Notes are legal investments for it, (i ) Notes can be
used as collateral for various types of borrowing and (i i) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge

Important considerations

of any Notes. Prospective investors should also consult their own financial and legal advisers about risks
associated with an investment in a particular Series of Notes and the suitability of investing in the Notes in
light of their particular circumstances. Financial institutions should consult their legal advisors or the
appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of Notes under any applicable risk-based
capital or similar rules.
Some Notes are complex financial instruments. Sophisticated institutional investors generally purchase
complex financial instruments as part of a wider financial structure rather than as stand alone investments.
They purchase complex financial instruments as a way to reduce risk or enhance yield with a measured
and appropriate addition of risk to their overall portfolios, and only after performing intensive analysis of all
involved risks. A potential investor should not invest in Notes - constituting complex financial instruments
- unless it has the expertise (either alone or with a financial adviser) to evaluate how the Notes wil perform
under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Notes and the impact this investment
wil have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA 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. 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 (i ) a customer within the meaning of Directive
(EU) 2016/97, as amended where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in
point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. 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 European Economic Area has been prepared and therefore
offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the European
Economic Area may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UNITED KINGDOM 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 the following: (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 (i ) 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, as amended, 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. 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 wil 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
the target market assessment; 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 wil be made in relation to each Tranche about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID
Product Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the MiFID II Product Governance
Rules), any Dealer in respect of the relevant Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but
otherwise neither the Issuer, nor the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates wil 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 wil outline the target market

Important considerations

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 the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the 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 wil be made in relation to each Tranche about whether, for the purpose of the UK MiFIR
Product Governance Rules, any Dealer in respect of the relevant Notes is a manufacturer in respect of
such Notes, but otherwise neither the Issuer, nor the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective
affiliates wil be a manufacturer for the purpose of the UK MIFIR Product Governance Rules.
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the
stabilisation manager(s) (the Stabilisation Manager(s)) (or persons acting on behalf of any
Stabilisation Manager(s)) in the applicable Final Terms may over-allot Notes or effect transactions
with a view to supporting the market price 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 terms of the offer of the
relevant Tranche of Notes is made and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no later
than the earlier of thirty (30) days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche of Notes and sixty
(60) days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes. Any stabilisation action
or over-allotment must be conducted by the relevant Stabilisation Manager(s) (or persons acting
on behalf of any Stabilisation Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
SINGAPORE SFA PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION ­ Solely for the purposes of its obligations pursuant to
sections 309B(1)(a) and 309B(1)(c) of the Securities and Futures Act 2001 (2020 Revised Edition) of
Singapore, as modified or amended from time to time (the SFA) unless otherwise specified in the Final
Terms, the Issuer has determined, and hereby notifies all relevant persons (as defined in Section 309A(1)
of the SFA), that Notes issued under the Programme 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 Base Prospectus does not constitute an offer of, or an invitation by or on behalf of the Issuer or the
Dealers or the Arranger to subscribe for, or purchase, any Notes.

U.S. Information and others

U.S. INFORMATION
This Base Prospectus is being submitted in the United States to a limited number of QIBs for informational
use solely in connection with the consideration of the purchase of certain Notes issued under the
Programme. Its use for any other purpose in the United States is not authorised. It may not be copied or
reproduced in whole or in part nor may it be distributed or any of its contents disclosed to anyone other
than the prospective investors to whom it is originally submitted.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities or
determined if this Base Prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal
offence.
Registered Notes issued by the Issuer may be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. persons
only to QIBs in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 144A or
any other applicable exemption. Each U.S. purchaser of Registered Notes is hereby notified that the offer
and sale of any Registered Notes to it may be being made in reliance upon the exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.
Each purchaser or holder of Notes represented by a Rule 144A Global Note or any Notes issued in
registered form in exchange or substitution therefor (together Legended Notes) wil be deemed, by its
acceptance or purchase of any such Legended Notes, to have made certain representations and
agreements intended to restrict the resale or other transfer of such Notes as set out in "Subscription and
Sale and Transfer and Selling Restrictions". Unless otherwise stated, terms used in this paragraph have
the meanings given to them in "Form of the Notes".
The Notes have not been approved or disapproved by the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission or any other securities commission or other regulatory authority in the United States, nor have
the foregoing authorities approved this Base Prospectus or confirmed the accuracy or determined the
adequacy of the information contained in this Base Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is
unlawful.
AVAILABLE INFORMATION
To permit compliance with Rule 144A in connection with any resales or other transfers of Notes that are
"restricted securities" within the meaning of the Securities Act, the Issuer has undertaken in a deed pol
dated March 30, 2022 (the Deed Poll) to furnish, upon the request of a holder of such Notes or any
beneficial interest therein, to such holder or to a prospective purchaser designated by him, the information
required to be delivered under Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act if, at the time of the request, the
Issuer is neither a reporting company under Section 13 or 15(d) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), nor exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) thereunder.
SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
The Issuer is a corporation organised under the laws of France. The majority of the officers and directors
named herein reside outside the United States and all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Issuer
and of such officers and directors are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible
for investors to effect service of process outside France upon the Issuer or such persons, or to enforce
judgments against them obtained in courts outside France predicated upon civil liabilities of the Issuer or
such directors and officers under laws other than French law, including any judgment predicated upon
United States federal securities laws. The Issuer has been advised that if an original action is brought in
France based solely upon U.S. Federal Securities laws, French courts may not have the requisite
jurisdiction to grant the remedies sought and that actions for enforcement of judgments of United States
courts rendered against the French persons referred to above would require such French persons to waive
their rights under Article 15 of the French Code civil to be sued only in France. The Issuer believes that no
such French persons have waived this right with respect to actions predicated solely on U.S. Federal
securities laws.

relating to the Group's future business, financial condition, results of operations, performance, and
strategy. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact and may contain the terms
"may", "will", "should", "continue", "aims", "estimates", "projects", "believes", "intends", "expects", "plans",
"seeks" or "anticipates", or words of similar meaning. Such statements are based on Management's current
views and assumptions and, by nature, involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties; therefore,
undue reliance should not be placed on them. Actual financial condition, results of operations, performance
or events may differ material y from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements, due
to a number of factors including, without limitation, general economic and political conditions and
competitive situation; future financial market performance and conditions, including fluctuations in
exchange and interest rates; frequency and severity of insured or reinsured loss events, and increases in
loss expenses; mortality and morbidity levels and trends; persistency levels; changes in laws, regulations
and standards; the impact of acquisitions and disposal, including related integration issues, and
reorganization measures; and general competitive factors, in each case on a local, regional, national
and/or global basis. Many of these factors may be more likely to occur, or more pronounced, as a result
of catastrophic events, including weather-related catastrophic events, pandemics events or terrorist-
related incidents. Please refer to Part 5 ­ "Risk factors and risk management" of the 2021 Universal
Registration Document for a description of certain important factors, risks and uncertainties that may affect
AXA's business and/or results of operations. AXA undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise
any of these forward-looking statements, whether to reflect new information, future events or
circumstances or otherwise, except as required by applicable laws and regulations.
The Base Prospectus refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures, or alternative performance
measures (APMs), used by Management in analyzing the Group's operating trends, financial performance
and financial position and providing investors with additional information that Management believes to be
useful and relevant regarding the Group's results. These non-GAAP financial measures generally have no
standardized meaning and therefore may not be comparable to similarly labelled measures used by other
companies. As a result, none of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in isolation
from, or as a substitute for, the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with
IFRS incorporated by reference herein. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Group are defined
in the Glossary set forth on pages 501 to 505 of the 2021 Universal Registration Document and of the
2021 French Universal Registration Document.
