BASE PROSPECTUS DATED 31 MAY 2023

SOCIETE GENERALE
as Issuer and Guarantor
(incorporated in France)

and

SG ISSUER
as Issuer
(incorporated in Luxembourg)

Debt Instruments Issuance Programme

For guidance on using this Base Prospectus and navigating between the different sections hereof, please refer to the "Base
Prospectus - User Guide" section of this Base Prospectus (which is intended to assist investors in review of this Base
Prospectus but which should nevertheless be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Base Prospectus).
Under the Debt Instruments Issuance Programme (the Programme), each of Societe Generale and SG Issuer (each an Issuer and
together the Issuers) may from time to time issue Notes (the Notes) denominated in any currency agreed by the Issuer of such Notes
(the relevant Issuer) and the relevant purchaser(s).
This Base Prospectus has been approved by the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the CSSF) which
is the Luxembourg competent authority for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended (the Prospectus Regulation).
The CSSF only approves this Base Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency
imposed by the Prospectus Regulation and such approval shal not be considered as an endorsement of the Issuers, the Guarantor
and of the quality of the securities that are the subject of this Base Prospectus. The CSSF gives no undertaking as to the economic
and financial soundness of the Notes issued under the Programme or the quality or solvency of the Issuers, in accordance with the
provisions of Article 6(4) of the Luxembourg act on prospectuses for securities dated 16 July 2019, as amended. Such approval does
not extend to money market instruments (as defined in the Prospectus Regulation) having a maturity of less than one year or to Notes
(which are not publicly offered) to be admitted to trading on the Euro MTF (as defined below).

Application has also been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes issued under the Programme to be admitted to trading
on (i) the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market and to be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
and (i ) the multilateral trading facility Euro MTF of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the Euro MTF). The regulated market of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange is a regulated market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive 2014/65/EU of
15 May 2014 (as amended, MiFID II) (a Regulated Market).
The Euro MTF is not a Regulated Market and accordingly the CSSF is not the competent authority for the approval of this Base
Prospectus in connection with Notes issued under the Programme which are admitted to trading on the Euro MTF, but the Euro MTF
is subject to the supervision of the CSSF. The CSSF has neither reviewed nor approved any information in this Base Prospectus
pertaining to Notes admitted to trading on the Euro MTF. The CSSF therefore assumes no responsibility in relation to the issues of
Notes admitted to trading on the Euro MTF.
Notes issued under the Programme may also be unlisted or listed and admitted to trading on any other market, including any other
Regulated Market in any Member State of the EEA and/or offered to the public in any Member State of the EEA. The applicable Final
Terms in respect of the issue of any Notes wil specify whether or not such Notes wil be listed and admitted to trading on any market
and/or offered to the public in any Member State of the EEA and, if so, the relevant market.
This Base Prospectus has been approved on 31 May 2023 and is valid until 31 May 2024 and must during such period and in
accordance with Article 23 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended, be completed by a supplement to the Base Prospectus in the
event of any new significant facts or material errors or inaccuracies. The obligation to supplement the Base Prospectus in the event
of significant new factors, material mistakes or material inaccuracies does not apply when the Base Prospectus is no longer valid.
This Base Prospectus wil be filed with SIX Exchange Regulation Ltd (prospectus office) as competent review body under the Swiss
Financial Services Act (the "FinSA") for automatic acceptance of this Base Prospectus as an issuance prospectus in accordance with
article 54(2) of the FinSA. The CSSF has neither reviewed nor approved any information in this Base Prospectus pertaining to Notes
listed on SIX Swiss Exchange.
The Notes and any guarantee thereof have not been and wil not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Securities Act) or under the securities law of any state or political sub-division of the United States, and trading in the
Notes has not been approved by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the CFTC) under the United States Commodity
Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (the CEA). No person has registered and no person wil register as a "commodity pool operator"
1




of any Issuer under the CEA and the rules thereunder (the CFTC Rules) of the CFTC, and no Issuer has been and no Issuer wil be
registered as an investment company under the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and
regulations thereunder (the Investment Company Act). Other than with respect to certain U.S. Exempt Securities (as defined herein),
the Notes are being offered and sold in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to
Regulation S thereunder (Regulation S).
Accordingly, except for U.S. Exempt Securities (as defined herein), the Notes may only be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise
transferred in an "offshore transaction" (as defined under Regulation S) to or for the account or benefit of a person who (a) is not (i) a
U.S. person as defined in Regulation S (Regulation S U.S. Person) unless the applicable Final Terms specify that a U.S. person as
defined in paragraph 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRS U.S. Person) is also applicable, or (i ) if in the case of
SGI Index Linked Notes, Advised SGI Index is applicable or if in the case of Portfolio Linked Notes, Dynamic Portfolio is applicable,
a person who is either a Regulation S U.S. Person or an IRS U.S. Person unless the applicable Final Terms specify that only a
Regulation S U.S. Person is applicable; (b) is not a person who comes within any definition of U.S. person for the purposes of the
CEA or any CFTC Rule, guidance or order proposed or issued under the CEA (for the avoidance of doubt, any person who is not a
"Non-United States person" defined under CFTC Rule 4.7(a)(1)(iv), but excluding, for purposes of subsection (D) thereof, the
exception for qualified eligible persons who are not "Non-United States persons", shal be considered a U.S. person), and (c) is not a
"U.S. person" for purposes of the final rules implementing the credit risk retention requirements of Section 15G of the U.S. Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the U.S. Risk Retention Rules) (a Risk Retention U.S. Person) (such a person or account as
described herein, a Permitted Transferee).
With the exception of U.S. Exempt Securities, the Notes are available only to Permitted Transferees. Certain issues of English Law
Notes of Societe Generale (U.S. Exempt Securities), as specified in the applicable Offering Circular (as defined below), may be
offered and sold only (a) in offshore transactions to non-U.S. persons in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act, and/or
(b) to qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) acting for their own account or for the account of one or more QIBs, in each case, in reliance
upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act. No issues of Notes issued by SG Issuer wil be U.S. Exempt Securities. Information specific
to any issue of U.S. Exempt Securities (including information on the form of the Notes and applicable sel ing and transfer restrictions)
shal be set out in an offering circular supplementing this Base Prospectus (Offering Circular) in connection with the offer and sale
of such U.S. Exempt Securities.
Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, and the issue price of Notes which
are applicable to each issuance (as defined in the General Terms and Conditions of the Notes) of Notes wil be set out in a final terms
document (the Final Terms) which (except in the case of Exempted Swiss Public Offer Note or Exempt Offer Note) (al as defined in
the sections entitled "General Terms and Conditions of the English Law Notes" and "General Terms and Conditions of the French
Law Notes" ) wil be delivered to the CSSF.
In case of any issue of U.S. Exempt Securities, al references herein to "Final Terms" shal include, or be interpreted to mean, the
applicable Offering Circular.
THE NOTES OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED WITH, OR APPROVED BY, ANY UNITED
STATES FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES OR COMMODITIES COMMISSION OR REGULATORY AUTHORITY.
FURTHERMORE, THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES HAVE NOT PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS
OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS BASE PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY
IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE IN THE UNITED STATES.
U.S. Treasury regulations issued under Section 871(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Section 871(m) Regulations)
general y impose a 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid (within the meaning of the relevant Section
871(m) Regulations) to a non-United States holder (a Non-U.S. Holder) with respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S.
equities or indices that include U.S. equities (U.S. Underlying Equities). Specifical y, and subject to special rules from 2017 through
2022 set out in Notice 2020-2 (the Notice), the Section 871(m) Regulations wil general y apply to Notes issued on or after 1 January
2017 that substantial y replicate the economic performance of one or more U.S. Underlying Equities as determined by the Issuers on
the date for such Notes as of which the expected delta of the product is determined by the Issuers based on tests in accordance with
the applicable Section 871(m) Regulations (for the purposes of the Notice, such Notes are deemed "delta-one" instruments) (the
Specified Notes). A Note linked to U.S. Underlying Equities which the Issuer has determined not to be a Specified Note wil not be
subject to withholding tax under Section 871(m) Regulations. Investors are advised that the Issuer's determination is binding on al
Non-U.S. Holders of the Notes, but it is not binding on the United States Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) and the IRS may therefore
disagree with the Issuer's determination.
The applicable Final Terms wil specify if the Notes are Specified Notes, and, if so, whether the relevant Issuer or its withholding agent
wil withhold tax under Section 871(m) Regulations and the rate of the withholding tax. Investors should note that if the Issuer or any
withholding agent determines that withholding is required, neither the relevant Issuer nor the withholding agent wil be required to
gross up any amounts withheld in connection with a Specified Note. Investors should consult their tax adviser regarding the potential
application of Section 871(m) Regulations to their investment in the Notes.
Potential purchasers and sellers of the Notes should be aware that they may be required to pay taxes or documentary
charges or duties in accordance with the laws and practices of the jurisdiction in which the Notes are transferred or other
jurisdictions. In some jurisdictions, no official statements of the tax authorities or court decisions may be available for
financial instruments such as the Notes. Potential investors are advised to consult their own tax adviser on the tax impacts
of the acquisition, holding, disposal and redemption of the Notes. The requirement to pay such taxes may reduce the
effective yield on the Notes and may also have an adverse impact on their value.

IMPORTANT ­ EEA RETAIL INVESTORS ­ If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes state "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail
Investors" as Applicable, 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

not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (i i) 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 sel ing the Notes or otherwise making them
available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or sel ing the Notes or otherwise making them

Investors", as Applicable, the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered,

of the FSMA and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement the Insurance Distribution Directive, 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 domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (i i) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it
forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No
1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the UK PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or sel ing the Notes or
otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or sel ing the Notes or otherwise
making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

governance" which wil outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes

Delegated 2017/593 (the MiFID Product Governance Rules), any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of

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 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 wil be a manufacturer for the purpose of the UK MIFIR Product Governance Rules.
Notification under Section 309B(1)(c) of the Securities and Futures Act 2001 of Singapore, as modified or amended from
time to time (the SFA) ­ Unless otherwise stated in the Final Terms in respect of any Notes, in connection with Section 309B of the
