COVERED BOND PROGRAMME
for the issue of Obligations de Financement de l'Habitat
Under the Covered Bond Programme described in this Base Prospectus (the "Programme"), Arkéa Home Loans SFH (the "Issuer"), subject to compliance with all
relevant laws, regulations and directives, may from time to time issue covered bonds (obligations de financement de l'habitat) to be governed either by French law or
German law (respectively, the "French law Covered Bonds" or the "German law Covered Bonds" and, together, the "Covered Bonds"). The Issuer is licensed as a
société de financement de l'habitat by the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution. All Covered Bonds will benefit from the statutory priority in right of payment
over all the assets and revenues of the Issuer created by Article L. 513-11 of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier) (the "Privilège"), as
more fully described herein.
The aggregate nominal amount of the Covered Bonds outstanding will not at any time exceed 10,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies at the date of issue).
The minimum denomination of each Covered Bond admitted to trading on a Regulated Market (as defined below) in any member state of the European Economic Area
("EEA") (a "Member State") in circumstances which require the publication of a prospectus under the Prospectus Directive (as defined below) will be 1,000 (or its
equivalent in any other currency at the issue date), or such higher amount as may be allowed or required from time to time by the relevant monetary authority or any laws
or regulations applicable to the relevant Specified Currency (as defined in section "Terms and Conditions of the French law Covered Bonds Interest and other
Calculations"). No offer to the public will be made under this Base Prospectus.
Application has been made to the Commission de surveillance du secteur financier (the "CSSF") for approval of this Base Prospectus in relation to the French law Covered
Bonds, in its capacity as competent authority in Luxembourg under the loi relative aux prospectus pour valeurs mobilières dated 10 July 2005 which implements Directive
2003/71/EC dated 4 November 2003, as amended (the "Prospectus Directive") in Luxembourg. The CSSF has neither reviewed nor approved any information in
relation to the German law Covered Bonds. In the line with the provisions of Article 7 (7) of the loi relative aux prospectus pour valeurs mobilières dated 10 July 2005
as amended, the CSSF assumes no responsibility as to the economic and financial soundness of the transaction and the quality or solvency of the Issuer. Application will be
made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the Covered Bonds (except the German law Covered Bonds) issued under the Programme during a period of twelve (12)
months after the date of this Base Prospectus 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. The regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange is a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/UE dated 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"). Covered Bonds (except the German law Covered Bonds) 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. The relevant final terms (the "Final Terms") (a form of
which is contained herein) in respect of the issue of any French law Covered Bonds will specify whether or not such Covered Bonds will be listed and admitted to trading
on any market and, if so, the relevant market. The German law Covered Bonds will not be admitted to trading nor listed on any stock exchange.
Covered Bonds will be issued on a continuous basis in series (each a "Series") having one or more issue dates and (except in respect of the first payment of interest) on
terms otherwise identical, the Covered Bonds of each Series being intended to be interchangeable with all other Covered Bonds of that Series. Each Series may be issued in
tranches (each a "Tranche") on different issue dates. The specific terms of each Series will be set forth in the Final Terms.
French law Covered Bonds may be issued either in dematerialised form ("Dematerialised Covered Bonds") or in materialised form ("Materialised Covered Bonds") as
more fully described herein.
Dematerialised Covered Bonds will at all times be in book entry form in compliance with Articles L. 211-3 et seq. of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code
monétaire et financier). No physical documents of title will be issued in respect of the Dematerialised Covered Bonds.
Dematerialised Covered Bonds 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 Account Holders (as defined in section "Terms and Conditions of the French law Covered Bonds - 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 a latter case, at the option of the relevant Bondholder (as defined in section "Terms and Conditions of the French law Covered Bonds -
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) for the Issuer, or in administered registered form (au nominatif administré) in which case they will be inscribed in
the accounts of the Account Holders designated by the relevant Bondholder.
Materialised Covered Bonds 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 Covered Bonds. Such Temporary Global Certificate will
subsequently be exchanged for definitive Materialised Covered Bonds with, where applicable, coupons for interest or talons attached (the "Definitive Materialised
Covered Bonds "), on or after a date expected to be on or about the fortieth (40th) day after the issue date of the Covered Bonds (subject to postponement as described in
section "Temporary Global Certificate in respect of Materialised Covered Bonds") 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(s) (as defined below). In the case of a Tranche which
is not intended to be cleared through Euroclear and/or Clearstream, the Covered Bonds of such Tranche cannot be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange and traded on the Regulated Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
Covered Bonds to be issued under the Programme are expected on issue to be rated AAA by S&P Global Ratings and Aaa by Moody's Investors Services Ltd (together, the
"Rating Agencies]"). The rating of the relevant Covered Bonds will be specified in the applicable 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. As of the date of this Base Prospectus, the Rating Agencies
are established in the European Union and registered under Regulation (EU) no. 1060/2009 as amended by Regulation (EU) no. 513/2011 (the "CRA Regulation"), as
amended 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).
German law Covered Bonds will be issued in materialised registered form only.

The distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offering or sale of Covered Bonds in certain
jurisdictions may be restricted by law. The Issuer, the Arranger and the Dealer(s) do not
represent that this Base Prospectus may be lawfully distributed, or that any Covered Bonds 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, the Arranger or the Dealer(s) which is intended to permit a public offering
of any Covered Bonds or distribution of this Base Prospectus in any jurisdiction where action
for that purpose is required. Accordingly, no Covered Bond may be offered or sold, directly or
indirectly, and neither this Base Prospectus nor any 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
Covered Bonds may come must inform themselves about, and observe, any such restrictions on
the distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offering and sale of Covered Bonds.
This Base Prospectus has not been submitted to the clearance procedures of the French Autorité
des marchés financiers.
The Covered Bonds 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 may not be offered or sold within the United
States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons as defined in Regulation S under the
Securities Act ("Regulation S") except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not
subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Covered Bonds may include
Materialised Covered Bonds in bearer form that are subject to U.S. tax law requirements.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Covered Bonds may not be offered or sold or, in the case of
Materialised Covered Bonds in bearer form, delivered within the United States or, in the case of
certain Materialised Covered Bonds 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 "Code").
The Covered Bonds are being offered and sold outside the United States in offshore transactions
in reliance on Regulation S.
For a description of these and certain further restrictions on offers, sales and transfers of
Covered Bonds and on distribution of this Base Prospectus, see section "Subscription and Sale".
In particular, there are restrictions on the distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offer or
sale of Covered Bonds in the United States of America, Japan and the EEA (including France,
Italy, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom).
MiFID II product governance / target market The Final Terms in respect of any Covered
Bonds will include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which will outline the
target market assessment in respect of the Covered Bonds, taking into account the five (5)
categories referred to in item 18 of the Guidelines published by the ESMA on 5 February 2018,
and which channels for distribution of the Covered Bonds are appropriate. Any person
subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Covered Bonds (a "distributor") should take
into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to Directive
2014/65/EU, as amended ("MiFID II") is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the Covered Bonds (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 Covered Bonds is a manufacturer in respect
of such Covered Bonds, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealer(s) nor any of their
respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MiFID Product Governance
Rules.

PRIIPs / IMPORTANT - EEA RETAIL INVESTORS - If the Final Terms in respect of any
Covered Bonds include a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the
Covered Bonds 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, as amended, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as
defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the
Prospectus Directive. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU)
no. 1286/2014 (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Covered Bonds or otherwise
making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering
or selling the Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the
EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPS Regulation.
This Base Prospectus does not constitute an offer of, or an invitation by or on behalf of the
Issuer, the Arranger or the Dealer(s) to subscribe for, or purchase, any Covered Bonds.
None of the Arranger, the Dealer(s) or the Issuer makes any representation to any prospective
investor on the Covered Bonds regarding the legality of its investment under any applicable
laws. Any prospective investor in the Covered Bonds should be able to bear the economic risk of
an investment in the Covered Bonds for an indefinite period of time.
Prospective purchasers of Covered Bonds should ensure that they understand the nature of the
relevant Covered Bonds and the extent of their exposure to risks and that they consider the
suitability of the relevant Covered Bonds as an investment in the light of their own
circumstances and financial condition. Covered Bonds involve a high degree of risk and
potential investors should be prepared to sustain a total loss of the purchase price of their
Covered Bonds. For more information, see section "Risk Factors".
In this Base Prospectus, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, references
to "", "Euro", "euro" and "EUR" are to the lawful currency of the member states of the
European Union that have adopted the single currency in accordance with the Treaty
establishing the European Community, as amended by the Treaty on European Union and as
amended by the Treaty of Amsterdam, references to "Sterling" are to the lawful currency of the
United Kingdom, references to "U.S. Dollar" are to the lawful currency of the United States of
America, references to "Yen" are to the lawful currency of Japan and references to "Swiss
Francs" are to the lawful currency of Switzerland.
In this Base Prospectus, any references to "euro equivalent" means the euro equivalent amount
of the relevant amount denominated in the Specified Currency (as defined in Section "Terms
and Conditions of the French law Covered Bonds"), provided that, if any Borrower Advance is
denominated in a Specified Currency and the Issuer and the Borrower have agreed in advance
the foreign exchange rate that will be applicable, in the final terms for the related Borrower
Advance, then the amount of Eligible Assets that will be required to be granted by the Collateral
Providers in accordance with the relevant terms of the Collateral Security Agreement, as
security for the repayment of such Borrower Advance and which shall secure the "euro
equivalent" amount of such Borrower Advance, shall be calculated using the above mentioned
pre-agreed foreign exchange rate.

B.5 Description of
The Issuer is the dedicated "société de financement de l'habitat" of the Crédit
the
Issuer's
Mutuel Arkéa Group, issuing Covered Bonds (obligations de financement de
Group
and
l'habitat).
the
Issuer's

position
The Crédit Mutuel Arkéa Group is composed of Crédit Mutuel Arkéa (société
within
the
anonyme coopérative de crédit à capital variable), the Crédit Mutuel entities (each,
Group
a "Crédit Mutuel Entity"), and any other entities (including Belgian entities)
(each, an "Other Entity") and their respective direct or indirect consolidated
affiliates.

Crédit Mutuel Entity means any Caisse de Crédit Mutuel (within the meaning of
Articles L. 512-55 et seq. of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code
monétaire et financier)) which is affiliated to the Fédération de Crédit Mutuel de
Bretagne, the Fédération de Crédit Mutuel du Sud-Ouest or the Fédération de
Crédit Mutuel Massif Central.

Other Entity means any collateral provider (the "Collateral Provider") controlled
by Crédit Mutuel Arkéa within the meaning of Article L. 233-3 of the French
Commercial Code (Code de commerce) and which is not a Crédit Mutuel Entity.
As the second-largest regional entity in the French Crédit Mutuel network, Crédit
Mutuel Arkéa comprises the Crédit Mutuel de Bretagne, Crédit Mutuel du Sud-
Ouest and Crédit Mutuel Massif Central federations as well as approximately 20
specialized affiliates.

This Issuer is an affiliate of Crédit Mutuel Arkéa which holds 99.9% of its share
capital.
On January 17, 2018, Crédit Mutuel Arkéa's board of directors authorised Crédit
Mutuel Arkéa Group's senior management to take all actions enabling Crédit
Mutuel Arkéa to become a cooperative and mutual banking group independent
from the rest of Crédit Mutuel. The directors of Crédit Mutuel Entities and the
directors of Bretagne, Sud-Ouest and Massif Central federations were requested to
vote during the first half of 2018. At the conclusion of the consultation process
initiated by the Crédit Mutuel Arkéa Group's Crédit Mutuel Entities, and after the
WS0101.27948895.1

8
federations' Boards of Directors had met, the Crédit Mutuel Arkéa Group certified
the results of the votes cast by the 307 local banks: 94.5% of the Crédit Mutuel
Entities voted in favor of Crédit Mutuel Arkéa's independence, which will thus
become a cooperative and territorial group with mutualist values, independent from
the rest of Crédit Mutuel.
The Crédit Mutuel Arkéa Group will now begin operational implementation
of its unilateral disaffiliation. At its meeting of June 29, 2018, Crédit Mutuel
Arkéa's Board of Directors approved the planned organizational structure of
the future independent group and called on the local savings banks to convey
their opinion, starting in the fall of 2018, on the implementation of this
structure. It was also decided that Crédit Mutuel Arkéa will do business under
a name other than "Crédit Mutuel." More specifically, with respect to the local
savings banks that are members of the Crédit Mutuel Massif Central federation,
at the Crédit Mutuel Arkéa board of directors' meeting held on January 17,
2018, the Crédit Mutuel Arkéa Group requested the local savings banks of Crédit
Mutuel de Bretagne, Crédit Mutuel du Sud-Ouest and Crédit Mutuel Massif
Central federations to initiate consultations on the Crédit Mutuel Arkéa Group's
proposed independence. The board of directors of the Crédit Mutuel Massif
Central federation opposed the principle of consulting the boards of directors of
the local savings banks within its purview. Nevertheless, a consultation was
initiated by six of the thirty local savings banks that are members of the Crédit
Mutuel Massif Central federation.
With regard to the process of convergence of Crédit Mutuel Massif Central's
local savings banks members to the Caisse Fédérale de Crédit Mutuel
("CFCM"), the Board of Directors of the CNCM on June 19, 2018 gave its prior
approval to the convergence project of Crédit Mutuel Massif Central to the
CFCM. The governing bodies of the federation and Crédit Mutuel Massif
Central caisse régionale, dated June 29, 2018, approved the convergence
process. At the date of this Prospectus, the banking activity of each of Crédit
Mutuel Massif Central's thirty local savings banks is exercised through the
collective authorisation of Crédit Mutuel Arkéa as a credit institution.
