Debt Instruments Issuance Programme

For guidance on using this Base Prospectus and navigating between the different sections hereof, please refer to "Base
Prospectus - User Guide" on page 84 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 Société Générale, SG Issuer and SG Option Europe (each an Issuer and together the Issuers) may
from time to time issue Notes (the Notes such definition to include CDIs, as defined below, where applicable) 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" (such expression including the Italian Certificates, as defined in "Terms and Conditions of
the English 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 SG Option Europe 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 English Law Notes (the English Law Notes) and the Uncertificated Notes (the Uncertificated Notes) are set out herein in "Terms
and Conditions of the English Law Notes" and the terms and conditions of the French Law Notes (the French Law Notes) are set out herein in "Terms and Conditions of the French
Law Notes".
English Law Notes may be issued in bearer form (Bearer Notes, which include Bearer SIS Notes (as defined in "Terms and Conditions of the English Law Notes") or registered form
(Registered Notes) or in uncertificated form (Uncertificated Notes). Bearer Notes and Registered Notes may be represented by one or more Global Notes (as defined in "Terms
and Conditions of the English Law Notes"). Uncertificated Notes shall include Uncertificated Nordic Notes, Uncertificated SIS Notes, EUI Notes and ECF Notes and will be issued in
uncertificated and dematerialised book-entry form, all as defined and further described in "Form of the 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 SA/NV as operator of the Euroclear System (Euroclear) and Clearstream Banking S.A. (Clearstream).
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).
Registered Notes will (i) be deposited with a Common Depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, (ii) in the case of Registered Global Notes (as defined in "Terms and Conditions of
the English Law Notes") issued under the new safekeeping structure (New Safekeeping Structure or NSS) registered in the name of a nominee of one of the International Central
Securities Depositaries (ICSDs) acting as Common Safekeeper, or (iii) in the case of certain U.S. Exempt Securities (as defined herein) other than Combined Global Notes (as
defined herein), be deposited with a custodian for, and registered in the name of a nominee of, DTC.
Noteholders may hold EUI Notes through Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited (formerly known as CRESTCo Limited) (such clearing system, EUI) either directly (CREST Notes) or
through the issuance of CREST Depository Interests (such securities, CDIs) representing underlying Notes (CREST Notes and CDIs together to be known as EUI Notes). CDIs are
independent securities constituted under English law and transferred through CREST. CDIs will be issued by CREST Depository Limited pursuant to a global deed poll dated 25 June
2001 (as subsequently modified, supplemented and/or restated, the CREST Deed Poll), as all more fully described in Book Entry Clearance Systems. French Law Notes (as defined
below) may be issued in dematerialised form or materialised form.
French Law Notes may be issued either in dematerialised form (Dematerialised Notes) or in materialised form (Materialised Notes) as more fully described in "Form of the Notes"
herein.
Materialised Notes will be in bearer materialised form only and may only be issued outside France. A temporary global certificate in bearer form without coupons attached (a
Temporary Global Certificate) initially will be issued in connection with Materialised Notes.
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 EuroMTF (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 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 EuroMTF 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 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 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 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",
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 Société Générale (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 or SG Option Europe 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 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 English Law Notes" and "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 2020 set out
in Notice 2018-72 (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 September 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 "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 Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended or superseded, 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 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.
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.
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).
On 20 June 2018, Société Générale, SG Issuer and SG Option Europe 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 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".
[If several Series of securities are to be issued or offered simultaneously in one set of Final Terms, the items which differ
for such Series of securities can be grouped in a table (the Issue Specific Table)]1

Section A Introduction and warnings
A.1
Warning
This summary must be read as an introduction to the Base Prospectus.

Any decision to invest in the Notes should be based on a consideration of the Base
Prospectus as a whole by the investor.

Where a claim relating to the information contained in the Base Prospectus and the
applicable Final Terms is brought before a court, the plaintiff investor might, under the
national legislation of the Member States, have to bear the costs of translating the
Base Prospectus before the legal proceedings are initiated.

Civil liability attaches only to those persons who have tabled this summary, including
any translation thereof, but only if the summary is misleading, inaccurate or
inconsistent when read together with the other parts of the 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.

Known trends
[If the Issuer is Societe Generale:
affecting the issuer
Société Générale continues to be subject to the usual risks and the risks inherent to its
and the industries
business. More specifically, the Group could be affected by:
in which it operates -
The risks to global growth have ramped up owing to the high level of political

uncertainty. The markets will continue to dwell on the negotiations between the
US and China. The risk of new obstacles stemming from world trade tensions,

no Brexit deal and euro zone policy, notably the European Parliament elections

at the end of May, remains high. And this applies against the backdrop of high
debt levels and unstable financial markets.

-
Business seems to be losing pace in the approach to 2019 on emerging

Summary

markets, undercut by the decline in world demand and by the tightening of

world financial conditions. Emerging Asia remains the strongest growth region.
Central and eastern Europe are also showing resilience in the face of the loss
of pace in the euro zone.
-
In Russia, the economy should resist the impact of sanctions in the short term
and the underlying financial situation is still sound. In Brazil, the new
administration will have to undertake pension reforms, essential to correct the
fiscal base.
-
In terms of shift in central bank monetary policies:
o The Federal Reserve is determined to scale down its balance sheet and is likely
to raise rates in 2019. However, the recent increase in volatility on financial
markets and the global revaluation of risk premiums could prompt the Fed to
pause its monetary tightening.
o The ECB has confirmed that it will have put an end to its net asset purchases
as of January 2019. It is unlikely to raise interest rates before the end of the
summer 2019. The situation is unclear given the euro zone slowdown that has
set in since the end of 2018.
-
2019 will also be characterised by geopolitical uncertainty, in prolongation of a
number of events over the last two years.
-
For 2019, the regulatory timetable is likely to loom large in the European
legislative process with regard to the set of texts on sustainable finance
(taxonomy, disclosures and benchmarks), in continuation of the third target for
the Paris agreements (reorientation of financial flows towards decarbonised
businesses), plus the revision to prudential rules applicable to investment
companies (Investment Firms Review IFR).
Against this backdrop, and to generate responsible and profitable growth, the Group's
main priorities in 2019 will be to:
-
grow via implementation of the Group's key revenues initiatives;
-
accelerate transformation of al businesses and functions, notably for the French
retail relationship model, and adapt the Global Markets strategy;
-
deliver on costs (notably an additional EUR 500m cost reduction in Global
Banking and Investor Solutions) and maintain strict control of risks and selective
capital allocation;
-
continue its refocusing, via the disposal or closure of businesses lacking critical
size or not offering sufficient synergies, with a target raised from 50-60bp to 80-
90bp of impact on the CET 1 ratio by the end of 2020;
-
foster responsibility via ongoing deployment of the Culture & Conduct
programme and further integration of the CSR strategy.]
