Under the Debt Instruments Issuance Programme (the Programme), each of Societe Generale, SG Issuer and Societe Generale 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).
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 Societe Generale Effekten GmbH will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Societe Generale (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 SA/NV 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).
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 15 June 2022 and is valid until 15 June 2023 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 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). 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) 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, Permitted Transferee). The Notes described herein are available only to
Permitted Transferees.
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 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 German Law Notes")) will be filed with the CSSF.











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 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 the Insurance Distribution Directive , 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 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 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 may include a legend entitled "UK MiFIR 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 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.

The CSSF has neither reviewed nor approved any information in relation to Notes which are only listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange or offered to the public solely in Switzerland.
