(incorporated in Luxembourg)


Debt Instruments Issuance Programme


For guidance on using this Base Prospectus and navigating between the different sections hereof, please refer to
the "Base Prospectus - User Guide" section 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).

Under the Debt Instruments Issuance Programme (the Programme), each of Societe Generale, SG Issuer (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).

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, 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 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
Programme or the quality or solvency of the Issuers, 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
publicly 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 and accordingly the CSSF is not the competent authority for the approval of this
Base Prospectus in connection with Notes issued under the Programme which are admitted to trading on the Euro MTF,
but the Euro MTF is subject to the supervision of the CSSF. The CSSF has neither reviewed nor approved any information
in this Base Prospectus pertaining to Notes admitted to trading on the Euro MTF. The CSSF therefore assumes no
responsibility in relation to the issues of Notes admitted to trading on the Euro MTF.

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 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.

This Base Prospectus has been approved on 4 June 2021 and is valid until 4 June 2022 and must during such period and
in accordance with Article 23 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended, 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.

This Base Prospectus will be filed with SIX Exchange Regulation Ltd (prospectus office) as competent review body under
the Swiss Financial Services Act (the "FinSA") for automatic acceptance of this Base Prospectus as an issuance
1




prospectus in accordance with article 54(2) of the FinSA. The CSSF has neither reviewed nor approved any information
in this Base Prospectus pertaining to Notes 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 (Regulation 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 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", shal 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, and the issue price of Notes
which are applicable to each issuance (as defined in the General 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 Note or Exempt
Offer Note) (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.
In case of any issue of U.S. Exempt Securities, al references herein to "Final Terms" shal include, or be interpreted to
mean, the applicable Offering Circular.

THE NOTES 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 Issuers on the date for such Notes as of which the expected
delta of the product is determined by the Issuers 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 relevant 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 relevant Issuer nor the
2




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 RETAIL INVESTORS ­ If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes state "Prohibition of Sales to EEA
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). 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, as amended (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 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.
IMPORTANT ­ UK RETAIL INVESTORS ­ If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes state "Prohibition of Sales to 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 United Kingdom (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 Regulation
(EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EUWA); or (ii)
a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the FSMA and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to
implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, 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 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified
investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA.
Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by
virtue of the EUWA (the UK PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to
retail investors 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.
MiFID II product governance/target market ­ the Final Terms in respect of any Notes wil include a legend entitled "MiFID
II product governance" which wil outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes, taking into account the five
categories referred to in item 18 of the Guidelines published by the European Securities and Markets Authority (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 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.
UK MiFIR product governance / target market ­ the Final Terms in respect of any Notes will include a legend entitled
"UK MiFIR Product Governance" which wil outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes, taking into account
the five categories referred to in item 18 of the Guidelines published by the ESMA on 5 February 2018 (in accordance with
the FCA's policy statement entitled "Brexit our approach to EU non-legislative materials"), 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.
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 relevant 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:

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 relevant 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 2021 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.

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
