  • on the principle and terms of a new capital increase through the issue of shares available for subscription in cash, reserved for eligible current employees and retired former employees of entities participating in the Societe Generale Company Savings Plan, the Societe Generale Group Savings Plan, and the Societe Generale International Group Savings Plan;
  • that the shares subscribed will be issued with dividend rights as of 1 January 2024 and shall be fully paid up at the time of subscription;
  • to sub-delegate the power to set the subscription period and price to the Chief Executive Officer.

On 21 May 2024, the Chief Executive Officer, acting on the sub-delegation of the Board of Directors, set the subscription period from Monday 3rdst June 2024 at 10:00 am (Paris time) to Monday 17 June 2024 at 11:59 p.m. (Paris time), and the subscription price at EUR 20.64.

On 7 February 2024, the Board of Directors decided that this capital increase would consist of two separate tranches:

    • a first tranche reserved for eligible current employees and retired former employees of entities participating in the Societe Generale Company Savings Plan and eligible current employees and retired former employees of entities participating in the Group Savings Plan. This tranche will be available for subscription through a given employee mutual fund.
    • a second tranche reserved for eligible members of the Group International Savings Plan, subscribing directly for the reserved capital increase in shares.
  1. - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE

The Board of Directors decided, at its meeting of 7 February 2024, within the limits set by Article L.

3332-19 of the French Labour Code and by the Combined General Meeting of 23 May 2023:

  • that the reference price for the subscription for Societe Generale shares (the "Reference Price") will be equal to the arithmetic average of the 20 (twenty) volume-weighted average prices recorded each day on the Euronext Paris regulated market at the end of each of the 20 (twenty) trading sessions preceding the date of the decision setting the subscription period.
  • that the subscription price will be equal to the Reference Price, less a 20% discount (rounded to the next highest euro cent).

In a decision dated 21 May 2024, the Chief Executive Officer, acting under the sub-delegation of the Board of Directors, determined the subscription price per share (the "Subscription Price ") as follows.

Given the arithmetic average of the 20 (twenty) volume-weighted average prices recorded each day on the Euronext Paris regulated market at the end of each of the 20 (twenty) trading sessions preceding 21 May 2024, i.e. EUR 25.80, the Subscription Price for the two tranches, rounded to the next highest euro cent, was set at EUR 20.64 (i.e. the Reference Price less the 20% discount).

IV - IMPACT OF THE CAPITAL INCREASE

A - Impact of the issue on the shareholder's stake in the Company's share capital

The maximum impact of the issue on the stake of a shareholder holding 1% of Societe Generale's share capital prior to the issue and not subscribing for the capital increase is as follows (calculated based on the number of shares making up the share capital at 22 May 2024):

2

% stake in the Company's capital

Before issue of 12,123,200 new shares

1.00%

After issue of 12,123,200 new shares, if all

shares are subscribed

0.99 %

B. Impact of issue on % of shareholders' equity

B. 1 Impact of issue on % of Company's shareholders' equity

The impact of the issue on the share of shareholders' equity at 31 December 20231 for a holder of a Societe Generale share prior to the issue and not subscribing for the issue is as follows (calculated based on the number of shares making up the share capital at 22 May 2024):

% of Parent Company shareholders' equity in

EUR

Before issue of 12,123,200 new shares

EUR 45.11

After issue of 12,123,200 new shares, if all

EUR 44.75

shares are subscribed

B.2 Impact of issue on the Group's share of consolidated shareholders' equity

The impact of the issue on the Group's shareof the consolidated shareholders' equity at 31 December 20232 for a holder of a Societe Generale share prior to the issue and not subscribing to the issue is as follows (calculated based on the number of shares making up the share capital at

22 May 2024):

% of consolidated shareholders' equity (Group

share) in EUR

Before issue of 12,123,200 new shares

EUR 81.27

After issue of 12,123,200 new shares, if all

EUR 80.37

shares are subscribed

C - Theoretical impact of issue on current market value of the share

The theoretical impact of the issue of 12,123,200 shares at the Subscription Price on the market value of the share is calculated as follows:

Theoretical market value of share before issue = arithmetic average of the 20 (twenty) volume- weighted average prices recorded each day on the Euronext Paris regulated market at the end of

1 2 After restatement of dividend (estimate) which will be paid on 29th May 2024.

3

each of the 20 (twenty) trading sessions preceding the decision of the Chief Executive Officer of 21 May 2024 = Reference Price. This theoretical price is EUR 25.80.

Theoretical market value of the share after issue = [(Reference Price x number of shares before issue)

  • (Subscription Price x number of new shares)]/(number of shares before issue + number of new shares).

The Subscription Price of the new shares is EUR 20.64.

In light of these assumptions, the theoretical market value of the share, post-issue, would be EUR 25.72, with the theoretical market value of the share, pre-issue, of EUR 25.80.

It should be noted that this theoretical approach is provided for information purposes only and is in no way indicative of future changes in the share price.

This supplementary report and the Statutory Auditors' report are made available to shareholders at the Company's administrative office and will be brought to their attention at the General Meeting held today.
