to the Issuer and the Notes. The Issuer, having taken all reasonable care to ensure that such
is the case, confirms that the information contained in this Base Prospectus is, to the best of
its knowledge, in accordance with the facts and contains no omission likely to affect its
import. The Issuer accepts responsibility accordingly.
No person has been authorised to give any information or to make any representation other
than those contained in this Base Prospectus in connection with the issue or sale of the
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 Dealers or the Arranger. Neither the
delivery of this Base Prospectus nor any sale made in connection herewith shall, under any
circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the
Issuer, or the Issuer and its consolidated subsidiaries (together, the "Crédit Agricole S.A.
Group") or the Caisses régionales de Crédit Agricole Mutuel (the "Caisses régionales" or the
"Regional Banks"), the Caisses Locales de Crédit Agricole (the "Caisses Locales" or the
"Local Banks"), the Issuer, and their respective consolidated subsidiaries (the "Crédit
Agricole Group") since the date hereof or the date upon which this Base Prospectus has been
most recently supplemented or that there has been no adverse change in the financial
position of the Issuer, or the Crédit Agricole S.A. Group or Crédit Agricole Group since the
date hereof or the date upon which this Base Prospectus has been most recently
supplemented or that any other information supplied in connection with the Programme 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.
The distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offering or sale of the Notes in certain
jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Base Prospectus
comes are required by the Issuer, the Dealers and the Arranger to inform themselves about

Retail investors are only eligible to subscribe for Senior Non-Preferred Notes if they possess
sufficient experience and financial capacity and sophistication.
MIFID II product governance / target market ­ The Final Terms in respect of any Notes will
include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which will outline the target market
assessment in respect of the Notes 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 Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "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
MiFID Product Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 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 nor the Dealers nor any of their respective
affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MIFID Product Governance Rules.

client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II, (ii) a customer within the meaning of

client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II, or (iii) not a qualified investor as
defined in 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

SUMMARY
Summaries are made up of disclosure requirements known as "Elements" which communication is
required by Annex XXII of the Commission Regulation (EC) 809/2004 of 29 April 2004, as amended.
These elements are numbered in Sections A ­ E (A.1 ­ E.7).
This summary contains all 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'.
This summary includes specific sections titled "Issue specific summary" which wil be appended to
the relevant Final Terms. Where it is not specified if the section is an Issue specific summary or a
Programme summary, the section is common to both the Programme summary and the Issue
specific summary.

relating to information contained in this Base Prospectus is brought
before a court in a Member State of the European Economic Area
(an "EEA Member State"), the plaintiff may, under the national
legislation of the EEA Member State where the claim is brought, be
required to bear the costs of translating this Base Prospectus or any
supplement or document incorporated by reference before the legal
proceedings are initiated. Following the implementation of the
relevant provisions of the Prospectus Directive in each EEA Member
State no civil liability wil attach to the Issuer in any such EEA
Member State solely on the basis of this summary, including any
translation thereof, unless it is misleading, inaccurate or inconsistent
when read together with the other parts of this Base Prospectus or it
does not provide, when read together with the other parts of this
Base Prospectus, key information in order to aid investors when
considering whether to invest in the Notes.

Summary
Section A - Introduction and warnings
For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Dealers or the Issuer shall
have any obligation to ensure that an Authorised Offeror complies
with applicable laws and regulations and shall therefore have no
liability in this respect.
The Issuer accepts responsibility, in the Public Offer Jurisdiction(s)
specified in the Final Terms, for the content of this Base Prospectus
in relation to any person (an "Investor") in such Public Offer
Jurisdiction(s) to whom an offer of any Notes is made by any
Authorised Offeror and where the offer is made during the period for
which that consent is given. However, neither the Issuer nor any
Dealer has any responsibility for any of the actions of any Authorised
Offeror, including compliance by an Authorised Offeror with
applicable conduct of business rules or other local regulatory
requirements or other securities law requirements in relation to such
offer.
The consent referred to above relates to Offer Periods (if any)
occurring within twelve (12) months from the date of the approval of
this Base Prospectus by the Autorité des marchés financiers
(the "AMF").
Any Authorised Offeror who wishes to use the Base Prospectus
in connection with a Non-exempt Offer is required, for the
duration of the relevant Offer Period, to publish on its website
that it is using the Base Prospectus for such Non-exempt Offer
in accordance with the consent of the Issuer and the conditions
attached thereto.
An Investor intending to acquire or acquiring any Notes from an
Authorised Offeror will do so, and offers and sales of the Notes
to an Investor by an Authorised Offeror will be made, in
accordance with any terms and other arrangements in place
between such Authorised Offeror and such Investor including
as to price allocations and settlement arrangements (the
"Terms and Conditions of the Non-exempt Offer"). The Issuer
will not be a party to any such arrangements with Investors
(other than Dealers) in connection with the offer or sale of the
Notes and, accordingly, this Base Prospectus and any Final
Terms will not contain such information. The Terms and
Conditions of the Non-exempt Offer shall be provided to
Investors by that Authorised Offeror at the time of the Non-
exempt Offer. Neither the Issuer nor any of the Dealers or other
Authorised Offerors has any responsibility or liability for such
information.
