Prospectus - User Guide" on page 36 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).
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 (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 shall 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 Debt Instruments Issuance
Programme (the Programme) or the quality or solvency of the Issuer, 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 publically 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
(ii) 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
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 or in the United Kingdom and/or offered to the public in any Member State of the EEA or in the United Kingdom. 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 or in the United Kingdom and, if so, the relevant market.
This Base Prospectus has been approved on 5 June 2020 and is valid until 4 June 2021 and must during such period and in accordance with Article 23 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129
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.
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 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 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 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 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). 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 (Regul ation 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 (ii) 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 i s 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), 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, 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 will 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 selling
and transfer restrictions) shall 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, 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 Exempted Swiss Public Offer Notes or Exempt
Offer) (all 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")) 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. In case of any
issue of U.S. Exempt Securities, all references herein to "Final Terms" shall include, or be interpreted to mean, the applicable Offering Circular.
THE SECURITIES 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) 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 special rules from 2017 through 2022 set out
in Notice 2020-2 (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.
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 AND UK RETAIL INVESTORS If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes state "Prohibition of Sales to EEA and UK 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) or in the United Kingdom. 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 2016/97/EU (as amended or superseded, 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 Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (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 retail
investors in the EEA or in the United Kingdom has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or in
the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
MiFID II product governance/ target market the Final Terms in respect of any Notes will 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.
Notification under Section 309B(1)(c) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289) 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 SFA and the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018 of Singapore
(the CMP Regulations 2018), the Issuer has determined, and hereby notifies all relevant persons (as defined in Section 309(A)(1) of the SFA), that the Notes are capital markets
products other than prescribed capital markets products (as defined in the CMP Regulations 2018) and Specified Investment Products (as defined in MAS Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice
on the Sale of Investment Products and MAS Notice FAA-N16: Notice on Recommendations on Investment Products).

General Description of the Programme

12.
TYPE OF NOTES
No debt securities that are exchangeable or convertible into shares (under Article 19 of Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) 2019/980) will be issued under this Base Prospectus.
Any benchmark to which a Note refers will be provided by an administrator included in the register referred to in
Article 36 of the Benchmark Regulation.
Fixed Rate Notes
Fixed rate interest will be payable on such date(s) as indicated in the applicable Final Terms and on redemption
and will be calculated on the basis of such Day Count Fraction as may be agreed between the relevant Issuer
and the relevant Dealer(s) as indicated in the applicable Final Terms.
Partly Paid Notes
The Issue Price of Partly Paid Notes will be payable in more than one instalment.
While any part payments of the subscription moneys due from the holder of Partly Paid Notes are overdue, no
interest in a Temporary or Permanent Global Note representing such Notes may be exchanged for Definitive
Bearer Notes.
If any Noteholder fails to pay any part payment due on any Partly Paid Notes within the time specified, the Issuer
may have a right to redeem such Notes if so specified, and on the terms set out, in the applicable Final Terms.
Floating Rate Notes
Floating Rate Notes will bear interest at a rate determined (i) on the same basis as the floating rate under a
notional interest rate swap transaction in the relevant Specified Currency governed by an agreement evidenced
by a confirmation incorporating the 2006 ISDA Definitions (as published by the International Swaps and
Derivatives Association, Inc. and as amended and updated as at the Issue Date of the first Tranche of the Notes
of the relevant Series) or (ii) on the basis of a reference rate appearing on an agreed screen page of a commercial
quotation service.
The margin (if any) relating to such floating rate will be agreed between the relevant Issuer and the relevant
Dealer(s) for each issue of Floating Rate Notes and specified in the applicable Final Terms.
Floating Rate Notes may also have either a minimum interest rate or a maximum interest rate or both.
Interest will be calculated on the basis of such Day Count Fraction as may be agreed between the relevant Issuer
and the relevant Dealer(s) as indicated in the applicable Final Terms.
Physical Delivery Notes
Payments in respect of Physical Delivery Notes (whether in respect of principal and/or interest and whether at
maturity or otherwise) and any delivery of any Deliverable Asset(s) in respect of Physical Delivery Notes will be
made in accordance with the terms of the applicable Final Terms, subject always to applicable securities laws.
Zero Coupon Notes
Zero Coupon Notes will not bear interest other than in the case of late payment.
Fixed/Floating Rate Notes
Fixed/Floating Rate Notes may bear interest at a rate that converts from a fixed rate to a floating rate, or from a
floating rate to a fixed rate. Where the relevant Issuer has the right to effect such a conversion, this will affect the
secondary market and the market value of the Notes since the relevant Issuer may be expected to convert the
rate when it is likely to produce a lower overall cost of borrowing.
Dual Currency Notes
Payments in respect of Dual Currency Notes (whether in respect of principal and/or interest and whether at
maturity or otherwise) will be made in such currency or currencies, and based on such rate or rates of exchange,
as the relevant Issuer and the relevant purchaser(s) may agree (as indicated in the applicable Final Terms).
Other provisions in relation to Floating Rate Notes and Structured Notes
Floating Rate Notes and Structured Notes may also have a maximum interest rate, a minimum interest rate or
both, or be subject to a rate multiplier, in each case as set forth in the applicable Final Terms.

7

General Description of the Programme

Structured Notes
Structured Notes will provide investors with an exposure to one or more Underlyings. Payments of principal and/or
of interest in respect of Structured Notes will be calculated by reference to such Underlying. Item "Type of
Structured Notes" of the applicable Final Terms will specify the relevant type of Underlying of the Structured
Notes. Any Structured Note may be exposed to more than one Underlying, in which case more than one type of
Structured Note will be specified. For each such Underlying and type of Note, the relevant Additional Terms and
