Debt Instruments Issuance Programme

Under the Debt Instruments Issuance Programme (the Programme), each of Société Générale, SG Issuer and Société Générale Effekten GmbH (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) (as
defined below).
When securities to be issued pursuant to this Base Prospectus are qualified as "certificates" (as defined in "Terms and Conditions of the German Law Notes"), any reference in the
relevant section of this Base Prospectus and in the applicable Final Terms to "Notes" and "Noteholders" shall be deemed to be a reference to "Certificates" and
"Certificateholders".
Notes issued under the Programme may either be unsecured or secured (Secured Notes), as specified in the applicable Final Terms and as further described herein.
Payments in respect of Notes issued by SG Issuer or Société Générale Effekten GmbH will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Société Générale (the Guarantor).
Subject as set out herein, the Notes will not be subject to any minimum or maximum maturity.
The Notes will be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified in the "General Description of the Programme" and any additional dealer appointed under the
Programme from time to time (each a Dealer and together the Dealers). Notes may also be issued to third parties other than Dealers. Dealers and such third parties are referred to
as Purchasers. The terms and conditions of the German Law Notes (the German Law Notes) are set out herein in the "Terms and Conditions of the German Law Notes".
German Law Notes may be issued in bearer form (Bearer Notes, which include Bearer SIS Notes (as defined in the section headed "Terms and Conditions of the German Law
Notes"). Bearer Notes may be represented by one or more Global Notes (as defined in the section headed "Terms and Conditions of the German Law Notes").
Bearer Notes (other than Bearer SIS Notes) will be deposited with a common depositary (Common Depositary) or, in the case of new global notes (New Global Notes or NGN), a
common safekeeper (Common Safekeeper) on behalf of Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. as operator of the Euroclear System (Euroclear) and Clearstream Banking, S.A. (Clearstream,
Luxembourg) and Clearstream Banking AG, Germany (Clearstream, Germany). Bearer SIS Notes (certified in a Permanent Global SIS Note) will be deposited with the Swiss
securities services corporation SIX SIS Ltd (SIS) or any other intermediary in Switzerland recognised for such purposes by SIX Swiss Exchange Ltd (SIX Swiss Exchange).
Application has been made to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the CSSF) in its capacity as competent authority under the loi relative aux prospectus pour
valeurs mobilières dated 10 July 2005, as amended, which implements the Prospectus Directive (the Luxembourg Act) to approve this document as a base prospectus. Such
application does not extend to money market instruments (as defined in the Prospectus Directive) having a maturity of less than one year or to Notes (which are not publically
offered) to be admitted to trading on the Euro MTF (as defined below). By approving this Base Prospectus, the CSSF gives no undertaking as to the economic or financial
opportuneness of the transaction or the quality or solvency of the Issuers in line with the provisions of article 7(7) of the Luxembourg Act. 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 (ii) the multilateral trading facilities 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 Instrument Directive 2014/65/EU of 15 May 2014 (as amended, MiFID II) (a
Regulated Market). The Euro MTF is not Regulated Market but it is subject to the supervision of the CSSF. 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 (as defined below) will specify whether or not such Notes will 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.
Application has also been made to SIX Swiss Exchange to approve this document as an "issuance programme" for the listing of derivatives and an "issuance programme" for the
listing of bonds, both in accordance with the listing rules of SIX Swiss Exchange. In respect of Notes to be listed on SIX Swiss Exchange, this Base Prospectus and the applicable
Final Terms will constitute the listing prospectus pursuant to the listing rules of SIX Swiss Exchange.
The Notes and any guarantee thereof have not been and will 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 Commodities Futures Trading Commission (the CFTC)
under the United States Commodities Exchange Act of 1935, as amended (the CEA). No person has registered and no person will register as a commodity pool operator of any
Issuer under the CEA and the rules thereunder (the CFTC Rules) of the CFTC, and no Issuer has been and no Issuer will 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). 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, the Notes may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred except in an "offshore transaction" (as defined under Regulation S) to or for the account or benefit
of a person who (a) is not a U.S. person as defined in Rule 902(k)(1) of Regulation S; and (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," shall be considered a
U.S. person) (such a person or account, Permitted Transferee). The Notes described herein are available only to Permitted Transferees.
The CSSF has neither reviewed nor approved any information in this Base Prospectus pertaining to Notes admitted to trading on the Euro MTF and/or listed on SIX Swiss Exchange.
The CSSF assumes therefore no responsibility in relation to the issues of Notes admitted to trading on the Euro MTF and/or listed on SIX Swiss Exchange.
The Notes are being offered and sold outside the United States to non-U.S. persons. The Notes are not being offered to investors in the United States or to any U.S. persons,
including qualified institutional buyers.
Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the issue price of Notes which are applicable to each Tranche (as defined in the Terms
and Conditions of the Notes) of Notes will be set out in a final terms document (the Final Terms) which (except in the case of Private Placement Notes or Notes that must be
distributed in or from Switzerland exclusively to Swiss Qualified Investors (all as defined in the sections entitled "Terms and Conditions of the German Law Notes")) will be filed with
the CSSF. The Programme provides that Notes may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or further stock exchanges or markets as may be agreed
between the relevant Issuer, the Guarantor and the relevant Purchaser. Each Issuer may also issue unlisted Notes and/or Notes not admitted to trading on any market.
U.S. Treasury regulations issued under Section 871(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Section 871(m) Regulations) generally 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). Specifically, and subject to the exemption for 2017 and 2018 set out in
Notice 2017-42 (the Notice), the Section 871(m) Regulations will generally apply to Notes issued on or after 1 January 2017 that substantially replicate the economic performance of
one or more U.S. Underlying Equities as determined by the Issuer on the date for such Notes as of which the expected delta of the product is determined by the Issuer 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 will not be subject to withholding tax under Section 871(m) Regulations. Investors are advised

that the Issuer's determination is binding on all 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 will specify if the Notes are Specified Notes, and, if so, whether the Issuer or its withholding agent will 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 Issuer nor the withholding agent
will 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.

The Notes may be rated at the latest on the relevant Issue Date by one or more rating agencies. The rating(s) of the Notes (if any) will be specified in the applicable Final Terms,
including as to whether or not such credit ratings are issued by credit rating agencies established in the European Union, registered (or which have applied for registration) under
Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council dated 16 August 2009, as amended (the CRA Regulation) and are included in the list of credit rating
agencies registered in accordance with the CRA Regulation published on the European Securities and Markets Authority's website (www.esma.europa.eu/page/List-registered-and-
certified-CRAs).
In general, European 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 European
Union and registered under the CRA Regulation unless the rating is provided by a credit agency operating in the European Union before 7 June 2010 which has submitted an
application for registration in accordance with the CRA Regulation and such registration is not refused. 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 without notice.
IMPORTANT EEA RETAIL INVESTORS If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes state that "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors" are 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 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; or (ii) a customer within the meaning
of Directive 2002/92/EC (as amended, the Insurance Mediation 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 Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, the Prospectus Directive). 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 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.
MiFID II product governance/ target market the Final Terms in respect of any Notes wil include a legend entitled "MiFID II product governance". 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 will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the Product Governance rules under EU Delegated 2017/593 (the MiFID Product
Governance Rules), any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger or the Dealer nor any of their respective
affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MIFID Product Governance Rules.

Amounts payable under the Notes may be calculated by reference to EURIBOR, LIBOR or SGI Indices, which are respectively provided by the European Money Markets Institute
(EMMI), ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (ICE,) and SGI. Amounts payable under the Notes may also be calculated by reference to one or more other "benchmarks" (as
specified in the applicable Final Terms) for the purposes of Regulation (EU) No. 2016/1011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 (the Benchmarks
Regulation). In this case, a statement will be included in the applicable Final Terms as to whether or not the relevant administrator of the "benchmark" is included in ESMA's register
of administrators under Article 36 of the Benchmarks Regulation. As at the date of this Base Prospectus, (i) ICE appears on the register and (ii) EMMI and SGI do not appear on such
register. As far as the Issuer is aware, the transitional provisions in Article 51 of the Benchmark Regulation apply, such that EMMI and SGI are not currently required to obtain
authorisation or registration.

On 14 September 2017, Société Générale, SG Issuer and Société Générale Effekten GmbH issued a base prospectus describing the Programme. This Base Prospectus supersedes
and replaces this base prospectus and the supplements thereto (except in relation to pending offers to the public, as detailed in "On-going Public Offers") for the purpose of Notes
admitted to trading on a Regulated Market in any Member State of the EEA and/or offered to the public in any Member State of the EEA and issued after the date of this Base
Prospectus.

Summary

SUMMARY
Summaries are made up of disclosure requirements known as Elements the communication of which is required by
Annex XXII of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 as amended. These elements are numbered in Sections A
 E (A.1 E.7).
This summary contains al the Elements required to be included in a summary for this type of securities and Issuer.
Because some Elements are not required to be addressed, there may be gaps in the numbering sequence of the
Elements.
Even though an Element may be required to be inserted in the summary because of the type of securities and Issuer, it is
possible that no relevant information can be given regarding the Element. In this case, a short description of the Element
is included in the summary with the mention of "Not Applicable".

Known trends
[If the Issuer is Societe Generale:
affecting the issuer
The macroeconomic environment saw a gradual improvement in 2017. This

and the industries in improvement is expected to continue in 2018, with accelerated growth in most major
which it operates
economic areas and more dynamic international trade flows. The markets should
remain buoyant, although valuation levels raise the question of their long-term

sustainability, and a certain volatility could resurface. Lastly, the central banks
should continue the normalisation of their monetary policies, albeit more gradual y.
In the Eurozone, growth should strengthen further in 2018, under the combined
effect of the accommodative monetary and budgetary policies implemented, together
with strong international demand.
For 2018, the regulatory agenda should focus on the European legislative process
concerning the set of CRR2/CRD5 texts, as wel as the finalisation and
harmonisation of the various liability ratio requirements (MREL Minimum Required
Eligible Liabilities, and TLAC Total Loss Absorbing Capacity).
The year 2018 wil likely be marked by a highly uncertain geopolitical environment,
fol owing on from a certain number of events over the last two years. Important
elections wil be held in several European Union countries (in Italy, in particular), and
the Brexit negotiations wil continue. "Separatist" tensions (Catalonia) could further
intensify. In addition, several areas of instability and tension could affect the global
economy, whether in the Middle East or in Asia, with American policy currently being
characterised by a certain unpredictability.
In Europe, provided that the political situation in Germany and in Italy becomes
clearer, 2018 could signal a new impetus in European ambition.
Lastly, banks must continue to adapt to a certain number of fundamental shifts,
especial y the acceleration of technological changes, requiring them to radical y
transform their operational and relationship models.
Within this framework, and in order to generate stronger, profitable and sustainable
growth, the Group's priorities in 2018 wil be to:

continue its growth by implementing a series of ambitious initiatives aimed at
al its high-potential customers (corporates, professionals and high net worth
customers, bank insurance, Boursorama, ALD, etc.), while developing
segments and services tailored to their changing needs;

accelerate the digital transformation of al its businesses and functions, and in
particular the digitalisation of its retail banking networks, both in France and
abroad;

maintain strict control of its costs, risks and capital al ocation;

continue its realignment via the disposal or closure of activities that do not
have critical mass and/or do not generate synergies;
continue to implement its Culture and Conduct programme, which aims to develop
the Societe Generale culture by placing values, leadership quality and behavioural
integrity at the very heart of the Group's transformation, thereby building confidence
among al its stakeholders (and mainly its customers).]
