CRÉDIT MUTUEL ARKÉA
13,000,000,000

EURO MEDIUM TERM NOTE PROGRAMME



Under the Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "Programme") described in this base prospectus (the "Base Prospectus"), Crédit Mutuel Arkéa (the
"Issuer"), subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and directives, may from time to time issue notes (the "Notes").

The aggregate nominal amount of Notes outstanding will not at any time exceed 13,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies at the date of issue).

The Notes may either be senior notes ("Senior Notes") or subordinated notes ("Subordinated Notes"). The Senior Notes may be either senior preferred Notes
("Senior Preferred Notes") or senior non-preferred Notes ("Senior Non-Preferred Notes"). It is the intention of the Issuer that (i) to the extent permitted by
the MREL Regulations, the Senior Non-Preferred Notes and Senior Preferred Notes shall, for regulatory purposes, be treated as MREL Eligible Instruments (as
defined hereinafter) and (ii) the Subordinated Notes shall, for supervisory purposes, be treated as Tier 2 Capital (as defined below). Green Bonds, Social Bonds
and Sustainability Bonds (as defined hereinafter) may also be issued under the Programme.

This Base Prospectus has been approved by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF") in its capacity as competent authority pursuant
to the Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council dated 14 June 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities are
offered to the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market, 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. Such approval should not be considered as an endorsement of the Issuer nor of the quality of the Notes that are the subject of this Base Prospectus.
In accordance with the provisions of Article 6(4) of the loi relative aux prospectus pour valeurs mobilières dated 14 July 2019, the CSSF assumes no
responsibility as to the economic and financial soundness of the transaction and the quality or solvency of the Issuer. The approval given by the CSSF is not a
favourable opinion on the Issuer and on the quality of the Notes described in this Base Prospectus. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability
of investing in such Notes. This Base Prospectus is valid until 22 July 2023 and shall be completed by a supplement, pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus
Regulation, following the occurrence of a significant new factor, material mistake or material inaccuracy relating to the information included (or incorporated
by reference) in this Base Prospectus which may affect the assessment of 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.

Application may be made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes issued under the Programme while this Base Prospectus is valid to be listed on the
Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (Bourse de Luxembourg).
The Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market is a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 15 May 2014 on markets in financial instruments, as amended, appearing on the list of regulated markets issued by the European Securities Markets
Authority (the "ESMA") (each such market being a "Regulated Market"). However, Notes issued under the Programme may also be unlisted or listed and
admitted to trading on any other market, including any other Regulated Market of the European Economic Area ("EEA") and/or offered to the public pursuant
to a non exempt offer in any Member State of the EEA. The relevant Final Terms (a form of which is contained herein) in respect of the issue of any Notes will
specify whether or not such Notes will be listed and admitted to trading on any market and/or offered to the public pursuant to a non-exempt offer in any Member
State of the EEA and, if so, the relevant market and/or jurisdiction.

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 et seq. 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 (i) in
bearer form (au porteur) inscribed as from the issue date in the books of Euroclear France (acting as central depositary) which shall credit the accounts of the
relevant Account Holders (as defined in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes - Form, Denomination and Title") including Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear")
and the depositary bank for Clearstream Banking, S.A. ("Clearstream"), or (ii) in registered form (au nominatif) and, in such latter case, at the option of the
relevant Noteholder (as defined in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes - Form, Denomination and Title"), in either fully registered form (au nominatif pur), in
which case they will be inscribed in an account maintained by the Issuer or by a registration agent (appointed in the relevant Final Terms) acting on behalf of
the Issuer, or in administered registered form (au nominatif administré) in which case they will be inscribed in the accounts of an Account Holder designated by
the relevant Noteholder.

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 with, where applicable, coupons for interest or talons attached (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
Certificate in respect of Materialised Notes") upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership as more fully described herein. Temporary Global Certificates
will (a) in the case of a Tranche intended to be cleared through Euroclear and/or Clearstream, be deposited on the issue date with a common depositary for
Euroclear and Clearstream, and (b) in the case of a Tranche intended to be cleared through a clearing system other than or in addition to Euroclear and/or
Clearstream or delivered outside a clearing system, be deposited as agreed between the Issuer and the Relevant Dealer (as defined below). In the case of a
Tranche which is not intended to be cleared notably through Euroclear and/or Clearstream, the Notes of such Tranche cannot be listed on the Official List of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Regulated Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

Senior Preferred Notes (as defined in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes - Status") to be issued under the Programme are expected to be rated A/F1 by Fitch
Ratings Ireland Limited (''Fitch'') and Aa3/P-1 by Moody's France S.A.S ("Moody's"). Senior Non-Preferred Notes (as defined in "Terms and Conditions of the
Notes - Status") to be issued under the Programme are expected to be rated A- by Fitch and A3 by Moody's. Subordinated Notes (as defined in "Terms and
Conditions of the Notes - Status") to be issued under the Programme are expected to be rated Baa1 by Moody's. As at the date of this Base Prospectus, Fitch and
Moody's are established in the European Union and registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009, as amended (the "EU CRA Regulation") and included in
the list of registered credit rating agencies published by the ESMA on its website (https://www.esma.europa.eu/supervision/credit-rating-agencies/risk) in
accordance with the EU CRA Regulation. The ratings of the Notes issued under the Programme by Fitch and Moody's are expected to be endorsed by a credit
rating agency established and registered in the United Kingdom (the "UK") or certified under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 as it forms part of UK domestic
law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "UK CRA Regulation"). As such, the ratings to be issued by Fitch and Moody's may be used
for regulatory purposes in the UK in accordance with the UK CRA Regulation. In general, UK regulated investors are restricted from using a rating for regulatory
purposes if such rating is not issued by a credit rating agency established in the UK and registered under the UK CRA Regulation or (1) the rating is provided
by a credit rating agency not established in the UK but is endorsed by a credit rating agency established in the UK and registered under the UK CRA Regulation



or (2) the rating is provided by a credit rating agency not established in the UK which is certified under the UK CRA Regulation.Notes issued under the
Programme may be rated or not rated. The rating of the Notes (if any) will be specified in the relevant Final Terms. 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 Crédit Mutuel de Bretagne and Crédit Mutuel du Sud-Ouest federations and (iii) the Issuer's subsidiaries
taken as a whole (the "Group" or "Crédit Mutuel Arkéa Group") which is material to an investor for making
an informed assessment of the assets and liabilities, profits and losses, financial position and prospects of the
Issuer as well as the base terms and conditions of the Notes to be issued under the Programme. The terms and
conditions applicable to each Tranche (as defined in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes") not contained
herein (including, without limitation, the aggregate nominal amount, issue price, redemption price thereof,
and interest, if any, payable thereunder) will be determined by the Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s) at the
time of the issue and will be set out in the relevant Final Terms. References to "Dealers" are to all Permanent
Dealers and all persons appointed as a dealer in respect of one (1) or more Tranches of Notes.

This Base Prospectus is to be read in conjunction with (i) any document and/or information which is or may
be incorporated herein by reference in accordance with Article 27 of the Luxembourg Law and Article 19 of
the Prospectus Regulation (see "Documents incorporated by Reference" below), (ii) any supplement thereto
that may be published from time to time and (iii) in relation to any Tranche of Notes, the relevant Final Terms.
Other than in relation to the documents which are deemed to be incorporated by reference (see section
"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 scrutinized or approved by the competent authority.

This Base Prospectus (together with all supplements thereto published from time to time) may only be used
for the purposes for which it has been published.

No person is or has been authorised to give any information or to make any representation other than those
contained or incorporated by reference 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, the Arranger or any of the Dealers (as defined in "General Description of the
Programme"). 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 or
the Group since the date hereof or the date upon which this Base Prospectus has been most recently
supplemented or that there has been no adverse change in the financial position of the Issuer or the Group
since the date hereof or the date upon which this Base Prospectus has been most recently 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 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. For a description
of certain restrictions on offers, sales and transfers of Notes and on distribution of this Base Prospectus, see
"Subscription and Sale".

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 securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United
States and the Notes may include Materialised Notes in bearer form that are subject to U.S. tax law
requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes may not be offered or sold or, in the case of Materialised
Notes in bearer form, delivered within the United States or, in the case of certain Materialised Notes in bearer
form, to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons as defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended. The Notes are being offered and sold outside of the United States in offshore transactions
to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act ("Regulation S"). By accessing this
Base Prospectus, you represent that you are a non-U.S. person that is outside of the United States. This Base
Prospectus is not for publication, release or distribution in the United States.

MiFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET ­ The Final Terms in respect of any Notes will
include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in
respect of the Notes, taking into account the five (5) categories referred to in item 18 of the Guidelines
published by ESMA on 5 February 2018, 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 Directive 2014/65/EU of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on markets in financial instruments, as amended
("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.
3



A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID II Product
Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID II 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 II 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, taking into account the five (5) categories referred to in item 18 of the Guidelines published by
ESMA on 5 February 2018 (in accordance with the FCA's policy statement entitled "Brexit our approach to
EU non-legislative materials"), 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 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.
PRIIPs REGULATION / PROHIBITION OF SALES TO 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 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 MiFID II, (ii) a customer within
the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 January 2016 on
insurance distribution, as amended (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 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 any retail investor 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.

UK PRIIPs REGULATION ­ 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 (the "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 Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/565 of 25 April 2016 supplementing MiFID II as it forms part of UK domestic
law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA"); or (ii) a customer within the
meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended (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 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on markets in financial
instruments 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.
Consequently, no key information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation 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 any retail investor 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.

Bonds, Social Bonds and Sustainability Bonds (as defined herein), including the listing or admission to trading
thereof on any dedicated "green", "social", "sustainable" or other equivalently labelled segment of any stock
exchange or securities market, to fulfil any green criteria required by any prospective investors. The Arranger
and the Dealers have not undertaken, nor are they responsible for, any assessment of the eligibility criteria
for eligible green assets, any verification of whether the eligible green assets meet such criteria or the
monitoring of the use of proceeds of any Green Bonds, Social Bonds or Sustainability Bonds (or amounts
equal thereto). Neither the Arranger nor any of the Dealers makes any representation as to the suitability or
contents of the Framework (as defined herein) and the second party opinion delivered by Vigeo Eiris.

Status of the Notes:
Senior Preferred Notes

The Senior Preferred Notes (being those Notes which the applicable Final Terms
specify as being Senior Preferred Notes), and, where applicable, any Coupon
relating to them are direct, unconditional, unsecured and senior
(chirographaires) obligations of the Issuer and rank and shall at all times rank:

(i)
pari passu without preference among themselves and with other Senior
Preferred Notes;

(ii)
senior to Senior Non-Preferred Notes of the Issuer and any obligations
ranking junior to Senior Non-Preferred Notes; and

(iii)
junior to all present and future claims benefiting from statutory
preferences.

Subject to applicable law, if any judgment is rendered by any competent court
declaring the judicial liquidation (liquidation judiciaire) of the Issuer or if the
Issuer is liquidated for any other reason, the holders of the Senior Preferred Notes
in respect of such Notes and including, where applicable, the Coupons relating
to them, will have a right to payment under the Notes:

(i)
only after, and subject to, payment in full of holders of present and
future claims benefiting from statutory preferences; and

(ii)
subject to such payment in full, in priority to holders of Senior Non-
Preferred Notes and Subordinated Notes and other present and future
claims otherwise ranking junior to Senior Preferred Notes.

To the extent permitted by the MREL Regulations, it is the intention of the Issuer
that the Senior Preferred Notes shall be treated for regulatory purposes as MREL
Eligible Instruments under the MREL Regulations but that the obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the Noteholders under the Senior Preferred Notes shall
not be affected if the Senior Preferred Notes no longer qualify as MREL Eligible
Instruments. However, in such circumstances, the Issuer may redeem the Senior
Preferred Notes in accordance with Condition 6(c) (Redemption of Senior Notes
upon the occurrence of a MREL Disqualification Event), if a MREL
Disqualification Event Call Option is specified as applicable in the relevant Final
Terms.

Senior Non-Preferred Notes
8




The Senior Non-Preferred Notes (being those Notes which the applicable Final
Terms specify as being Senior Non-Preferred Notes), and, where applicable, any
Coupon relating to them are direct, unconditional, unsecured and senior
(chirographaires) obligations of the Issuer, and rank and shall at all times rank:

(i)
pari passu without preference among themselves and with other Senior
Non-Preferred Notes;

(ii)
senior to Subordinated Notes; and

(iii)
junior to present and future claims benefiting from statutory
preferences, including Senior Preferred Notes.

Subject to applicable law, if any judgment is rendered by any competent court
declaring the judicial liquidation (liquidation judiciaire) of the Issuer or if the
Issuer is liquidated for any other reason, the holders of the Senior Non-Preferred
Notes in respect of such Notes and including, where applicable, the Coupons
relating to them, will have a right to payment under the Notes:

(i)
only after, and subject to, payment in full of holders of Senior Preferred
Notes and other present and future claims benefiting from statutory
preferences or otherwise ranking in priority to Senior Non-Preferred
Notes; and

(ii)
subject to such payment in full, in priority to holders of Subordinated
Notes and other present and future claims otherwise ranking junior to
Senior Non-Preferred Notes.

In the context of any such judicial liquidation (liquidation judiciaire) of the
Issuer and in the event of incomplete payment of any obligations of the Issuer
that rank or are expressed to rank senior to such Senior Non-Preferred Notes, the
obligations of the Issuer in connection with such Senior Non-Preferred Notes
will be terminated by operation of law.

To the extent permitted by the MREL Regulations, it is the intention of the Issuer
that the Senior Non-Preferred Notes shall be treated for regulatory purposes as
MREL Eligible Instruments under the MREL Regulations but that the
obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Noteholders under the Senior Non-
Preferred Notes shall not be affected if the Senior Non-Preferred Notes no longer
qualify as MREL Eligible Instruments. However, in such circumstances, the
Issuer may redeem the Senior Non-Preferred Notes in accordance with
Condition 6(c) (Redemption of Senior Notes upon the occurrence of a MREL
Disqualification Event), if a MREL Disqualification Event Call Option is
specified as applicable in the relevant Final Terms.

Subordinated Notes

The Subordinated Notes (being those Notes which the applicable Final Terms
specify as to be Subordinated Notes) and including, where applicable, any
Coupons relating to them, will constitute direct, unconditional, unsecured and
