TotalEnergies SE is a multinational integrated energy company headquartered in France, operating in over 130 countries and involved in exploration and production, refining and marketing, gas, renewables, and electricity.

A perpetual bond issued by the French energy giant Total S.A. is currently observable on the market, presenting unique characteristics for investors seeking long-term income generation. Identified by the ISIN code XS1501166869, this security originates from France and is denominated in Euros. Total S.A., a global integrated energy and petrochemical company headquartered in France, stands as one of the world's leading "supermajors." Its expansive operations span the entire energy value chain, from oil and gas exploration and production to refining, marketing, chemicals, and a growing portfolio in renewable energies and electricity generation, underscoring its significant role in the global energy transition and its robust financial standing as the issuer. This specific bond carries a coupon rate of 3.369% and is presently trading at its par value of 100% in the market. Unlike traditional fixed-income instruments with a defined maturity date, this bond is perpetual, meaning it does not have a scheduled redemption date, offering continuous interest payments to bondholders for an indefinite period, thereby resembling an equity-like instrument from a longevity perspective while retaining its fixed-income characteristics. The total size of this issuance amounts to a substantial 1,500,000,000 EUR, reflecting a significant capital raise by Total. With a minimum purchase size set at 100,000 EUR, this offering is primarily directed towards institutional investors and sophisticated high-net-worth individuals rather than the broader retail market. Coupon payments are structured to occur annually, providing a consistent income stream to bondholders.

This Prospectus is to be read and construed in conjunction with the documents incorporated by
reference in this Prospectus (see "Documents Incorporated by Reference" below) which have been
previously published and which shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in, and form part of,
this Prospectus (except to the extent so specified in, or to the extent inconsistent with, this Prospectus).

This Prospectus has been prepared for the purposes of giving information with regard to Total and its
subsidiaries and affiliates taken as a whole (together with the Issuer, the "Group") and the Notes
which, according to the particular nature of the Issuer and the Notes, is necessary to enable investors
to make an informed assessment of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profit and losses and
prospects of Total and the Group.
The Issuer (the "Responsible Person") accepts responsibility for the information contained or
incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and declares that, having taken all reasonable care to
ensure that such is the case, the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus
is, to the best of its knowledge, in accordance with the facts and contains no omission likely to affect its
import.

No person has been authorised to give any information or to make any representation other than those
contained in this Prospectus in connection with the issue or sale of 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 Joint Bookrunners. Neither the delivery of this Prospectus nor the offering, sale or delivery
of the Notes shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in
the affairs of the Issuer of the Group since the date hereof or that there has been no adverse change in
the financial position of the Issuer or the Group since the date hereof or that any other information
supplied in connection with this Prospectus 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.
Certain of the Joint Bookrunners and their affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in
investment banking and/or commercial banking transactions with, and may perform services for, the

Issuer's affiliates. Certain of the Joint Bookrunners or their affiliates that have a lending relationship
with the Issuer routinely hedge their credit exposure to the Issuer consistent with their customary risk
management policies. Typically, such Joint Bookrunners and their affiliates would hedge such
exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or
the creation of short positions in securities, including potentially the Notes. Any such short positions
could adversely affect future trading prices of Notes. The Joint Bookrunners and their affiliates may
also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in
respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they
acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

jurisdiction. The distribution of this Prospectus and the offer or sale of Notes may be restricted by law

Risk Factors relating to the Notes
The following paragraphs describe the main risk factors that are considered material for prospective
investors in order to assess the market risk associated with the Notes. They do not describe all the risks of an
investment in the Notes. Prospective investors should consult their own financial and legal advisers about
9

risks associated with investment in the Notes and the suitability of investing in the Notes in light of their
particular circumstances.
1
General Risks relating to the Notes
Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors
The Notes are complex financial instruments. Each potential investor in the Notes must determine the
suitability of that investment in light of such investor's own circumstances and its own objectives and
experience and any other factors which may be relevant to it in connection with such investment,
either alone or with the help of a financial advisor. In particular, each potential investor should:
(i)
be experienced with respect to transactions on capital markets and notes and understand the
risks of transactions involving the Notes;
(ii)
reach an investment decision only after careful consideration of the information set forth in
this Prospectus and general information relating to Notes;
(iii)
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 Prospectus;
(iv)
have 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 such investment will
have on its overall investment portfolio;
(v)
have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the
Notes;
(vi)
understand thoroughly the terms of the Notes;
(vii) 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 relevant risks;
(viii) make their own assessment of the legal, tax, accounting and regulatory aspects of purchasing
the Notes; and
(ix)
consult its legal advisers on legal, tax and related aspects of investment in the Notes.
Some potential investors are subject to restricting investment regulations. These potential investors
should consult their legal counsel in order to determine whether investment in the Notes is authorised
by law, whether such investment is compatible with their other borrowings or whether the Notes can
be used as collateral for any such borrowings and whether other selling restrictions are applicable to
them.
Legality of Purchase
Neither the Issuer nor any of the Joint Bookrunners nor any of their respective affiliates has or
assumes responsibility for the lawfulness of the acquisition of the Notes by a prospective investor of
the Notes, whether under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or the jurisdiction in which
it operates (if different), or for compliance by that prospective investor with any law, regulation or
regulatory policy applicable to it.
Regulatory Restrictions
Investors whose investment activities are subject to investment laws and regulations or to review or
regulation by certain authorities may be subject to restrictions on investments in certain types of debt
securities. Investors should review and consider such restrictions prior to investing in the Notes.
