1. KEY FIGURES AND PROFILE OF SOCIETE GENERALE

1.1 Recent developments and outlook


Update of the pages 16 and 17 of the 2023 Universal Registration Document
Global activity growth in the second quarter of 2023 was generated only through services. Global manufacturing and
international trade are in recession while construction is slowing. Growth momentum is more favorable in services, but
this trend is expected to reverse as i) the shock absorbers of excess household savings and corporate profitability fade and
(ii) monetary policy tightening is felt .
Economic conditions are expected to be more challenging in the coming quarters. Bank credit and monetary aggregates
are already contracting in major advanced economies, which should lead to an increase in business failures. However, this
increase in bankruptcies is starting from levels that are still exceptionally low. This process is expected to be gradual,
thanks to a multi-year corporate refinancing profile.
The effects of fiscal policies are being felt with some delay and are becoming restrictive. Indeed, the recent agreement on
the US debt ceiling and the end of the "safeguard clause" in the EU imply fiscal consolidation at least until 2024.
Nevertheless, European stimulus funds and investments linked to the Inflation Reduction Act in the United States could
partly offset the effects of future fiscal consolidation.
The inertia of inflation remains a factor of uncertainty. Headline inflation is falling, but core inflation remains high. Fears
of a possible price-wage spiral have not yet been completely ruled out. The debate on further rate hikes will therefore
remain open in the coming months, but a slowdown in the economy should allow the Fed and the ECB to initiate a first
rate cut towards the end of the year

Focusing on the regulatory landscape, the first semester of 2023 was a confirmation of EU and national authorities’
inclination to support households and companies impacted by the difficult economic conjuncture, consequence of
the conflict in Ukraine and of high inflation levels.

• In 2022, in numerous jurisdictions, authorities relied on fiscal measures to support households and
companies impacted by costs pressures on their consumption or investments. Early 2023 confirms this
dynamic, although the most global measures are progressively coming to an end, paving the way for more
targeted fiscal policies.

• In response to the shockwaves that rocked energy derivatives markets in the spring and summer of 2022, EU
authorities continue to investigate avenues to make trading and clearing on these markets more stable and
resilient going forward.

• European and national authorities have also proposed regulatory initiatives to help industries to achieve the
ecological transition of their activities. In the EU, the European Commission (EC) proposed the EU Net Zero
Industry Act (NZIA) and the EU Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) in March 2023. In France, a legislative proposal
around the green industrialization is under development. All these initiatives aim to respond to strong and rather
protectionist measures enacted in the United States (notably the Infrastructure and Jobs Act of November 2021 and
the Inflation Reduction Act of August 2022).

In this difficult economic context, banks continue to be key stakeholders and enablers for public policies, notably:
• The EU has continued in 2023 to impose several restrictive measures in response to the invasion of Ukraine
by Russia (prolongation and eleventh package of sanctions in June 2023).

• Amid the cost-of-living crisis, many jurisdictions in Europe (e.g., Spain, Czech Republic, Lithuania) introduced
windfall taxes on banks’ earnings. But, in France in particular, parliamentarian debates on bank charges and
measures to support the economy brought legislative proposals and banks commitments which impacts
remain in check (e.g., mortgage interest rate cap, cap on fees, support measures). These debates might however
be revived in 2024 (e.g., discussions around taxes on financial transactions and on wealth).

In parallel, failures of some regional US banks in S1 2023 revived the debate on banks’ resilience. Although these
failures did not relate to a European issue in any way, this debate further developed in European forums because of the
coincidental acceleration of Credit Suisse’s difficulties around the same timing (March 2023).

3
• In the US, federal authorities took a severe stance in their public statements against the poor risk management of
these banks, and these statements might lead to a review of practices and/or regulations, with potential capital
impacts for banks in such situation.

• However, in the EU, despite market volatility, authorities did not initiate or express the need for further
additional regulatory developments in addition to CRR3/CRD6 proposals (these proposals are already at a
negotiating stage). Ongoing debates at BCBS (Basel Committee on Banking Supervision) level following the crisis
might however initiate some new regulatory proposals. Furthermore, we might see initiatives emerge to reinforce
the credit derivatives’ transparency framework of the GSIB (Global Systematically Important Banks) in the EU.

In addition to these measures prompted by the prevailing economic conditions, progress was also made on several
structural regulatory projects designed to strengthen the prudential and resolution framework, support
environmental and digital transitions, protect consumers, and develop European capital markets:

• Negotiations on the CRD6 and CRR3 proposals implementing the Basel Agreements have reached an agreement
on 27 June. This should enable the implementation of the agreement in the EU by 1 January 2025. Because the
implementation of the Basel Agreements in the US appears well-delayed compared to the EU, some public authorities
will likely call to rediscuss the entry in vigor of part of the text within the EU (at least the FRTB (Fundamental Review
of the Trading Book) standards). There should be more clarity on this agenda before the formal adoption of the CRD6
and CRR3 legislations before the end of the year.

• Following the European finance minister’s agreement in June 2022, the EC came up with a proposal to reform
the crisis management framework (CMDI), the only initiative of the Banking Union which should progress in the
foreseeable months. This proposal aims to enable authorities to organize an orderly market exit for small and medium
failing banks, by extending their access to common financing: (i) softening of the conditions to access national deposit
guarantee schemes (DGS) in resolution; (ii) authorizing subsidizes by these DGS to reach the conditional threshold for
bail-in by the Single Resolution Fund.

• The regulatory framework around sustainability continues to develop in 2023.


In addition to climate-related objectives, the EC is consulting on additional criteria in EU taxonomy delegated across
the remaining four objectives of the taxonomy (April 2023). Furthermore, banks’ trajectory to achieve transition can
now rely on sectorial initiatives (Fit for 55 and Green Deal Industrial Plan for the Net Zero Age, the latter comprising
the above-mentioned NZIA and CRMA). ESG risks are now part of banks’ prudential framework, and, in in the first
quarter of 2023, credit institutions published detailed information on their exposure to climate risks (Pilar 3
obligations). The European Parliament made the prudential treatment of banks’ exposure to significant GHG-emitting
assets part of the CRD6/CRR3 proposal implementing the Basel Accords, abandoning their proposal for punitive
treatment in Pillar 1 for additional requirements in Pillar 2. The EBA's conclusions on this issue are expected very soon.
Sector-agnostic standards for the Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) are expected to be adopted in the next
weeks, while the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) continues its work on operationalising these
standards before submitting its recommendations on additional sector-specific standards.
In addition to that, the ESG risk management framework is getting more regulated, with negotiations ongoing around
due diligence obligations (CS3D).
With other national and international initiatives fast multiplying, the question of how the EU’s legislation will interact
with measures introduced outside its borders is more relevant than ever. The EU will want to reassert its role as
pioneer in the field and avoid any distortion of competition with non-EU operators.

• Digital transformation and innovation of financial services remain high on the regulatory agenda of the
European Commission, with important proposals in June 2023. Fundamental discussions are at play surrounding
payments and retail banking (such as on the European Payment Initiative and how to generalize instant payments
faster). These discussions have just been completed by proposals on open finance : the review of the payment services
directive (PSD3), a new proposal about financial data sharing (Financial Data Access) and the EU's proposal for a
central bank digital currency (digital euro). In parallel, negotiations about the digital identity (e-IDAS) are under way,
with the aim to replace strong authentication for payments by an e-IDAS identification. On this last subject, banks will
reinforce their role as partners of trust for their customers.
At the French level, authorities increasingly ask banks to further contribute to the financing of innovating SMEs and
start-ups. It could lead to legislative proposals in the coming year.

• Lastly, post-Brexit, and given the increased financing needs linked to the sustainability and digital transitions,
the EC is keen to return to the matter of the Capital Markets Union (CMU). Initially focused on deepening and

4
integrating European markets, CMU is now also seen as a way to ensure Europe’s financial autonomy. Many texts are
under negotiation: revisions to the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFIR), the Alternative Investment
Fund Managers (AIFM) Directive, the European Long Term Investment Funds (ELTIF) Regulation, the European Single
Access Point (ESAP) (for financial and non-financial information about EU companies) and the European withholding
tax framework. The CE also put forward a series of new proposals to further develop the CMU. These proposals
centered on three areas:
- ensuring “safe, robust and attractive” clearing to encourage market participants to start using EU-based clearing
houses for their euro-denominated products (revision of EMIR),
- harmonizing corporate insolvency rules, ironing out the disparities that currently discourage cross-border
investment both within and from outside the EU,
- simplifying the process for listing on public markets (through a new Listing Act) to make capital markets more
attractive to European companies and facilitate access for SME.

With the final aim to increase the retail investor participation in capital markets and protect EU citizens’ savings
against inflation, the EC has recently proposedits Retail Investment Strategy. This initiative aims to enlarge the access
of EU savers to capital markets’ products. However, distributers and producers of financial services regret that this
proposal comprises consumerist measures with negative and adverse impacts on the ability of European households
to invest in capital markets’ products.

Other recent developments

• In November 2022, Societe Generale and AllianceBernstein, a leading global investment management and research
firm, announced plans to form a joint venture combining their respective cash equities and research businesses. Due
to the expected timing of certain regulatory approvals, we now expect the closing to occur in the first half of 2024.

• Following the announcement made by Societe Generale on June 8 2023 regarding agreements to sell its subsidiary in
Congo, the Republic of Congo exercised its right of pre-emption on July 31 2023, following the usual legal framework,
and thus replaces the purchaser retained on the same terms agreed between the parties.

The completion of this transaction, which should occur before the end of 2023, remains subject to the usual conditions
precedent and the validation of the relevant financial and regulatory authorities.

• ALD announced on August 1 2023, it has successfully completed the sale of its subsidiaries in Ireland, Portugal and
Norway (with the exception of NF Fleet Norway, a company jointly owned by ALD-LeasePlan and Nordea), as well as
LeasePlan’s subsidiaries in Luxembourg, Finland and the Czech Republic, to Credit Agricole Consumer Finance and
Stellantis.

The sale has received clearance from all relevant regulatory bodies.

2. GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT

2.1 Press release as of 22 May 2023: Closing of the acquisition of LeasePlan by


ALD
Societe Generale, the long-term majority shareholder of ALD, announces the closing today by its subsidiary of the
acquisition of 100% of LeasePlan from a consortium led by TDR Capital. The combination of the activities of ALD and
LeasePlan, two leading players in the sector, aims to create the world leader in sustainable mobility solutions.

This acquisition combines the strengths of two industry leaders with highly complementary expertise to create a new
mobility player, ideally positioned to support the sector’s transformation. In a growing market, driven by long-term trends,
this acquisition represents an opportunity to support the evolution of practices from ownership towards usership, to drive
the digital transformation of the mobility sector around the use of data and to accelerate the transition towards
sustainable mobility solutions.

The new combined entity will be well positioned to deliver profitable growth drawing on a fleet of around 3.3 million
vehicles, including the largest multi-brand electric vehicle fleet worldwide, and a direct presence in 44 countries covering
all customer categories. The combined entity will leverage on scale and complementary capabilities to strengthen its
competitiveness, while generating substantial synergies. With this unique combination, clients will benefit from an
enriched comprehensive offering including leasing, fleet management and mobility solutions, combined with a wider
geographical coverage with an optimized organization in terms of operational efficiency and procurement.

The new company will be led by Tim Albertsen, current Chief Executive Officer of ALD Automotive, who has been appointed
Chief Executive Officer. He will be supported by two Deputy CEOs as well as an executive committee of 13 members.

The closing of ALD’s acquisition of LeasePlan is an important milestone for Societe Generale in its ambition to position
itself as a global leader in mobility. This new company will be a strong asset -among the continuum of services the Group
is offering in the automotive and mobility sectors - to reinforce Societe Generale’s leading positions in sustainable mobility
solutions, financing, and insurance. Societe Generale has already developed well-established and complementary
franchises in European markets: consumer credit in three main markets (financial lease, floor plan) via CGI Finance, BDK
and Fiditalia, respectively No. 1 in France, No. 2 in Germany, and No. 4 in Italy (excluding manufacturers' captives),
insurance, wholesale financing, and finally three used car remarketing platforms (ALD CarMarket, Reezocar and Juhu
Auto). Bringing the Group’s ambition in the mobility area to the next level also reflects its determination to actively support
economies and its clients in their transitions.

The completion of the acquisition has been approved by the relevant regulatory authorities and the integration of the two
companies into the new entity will now begin. The years 2023 and 2024 will be an intermediate period with the
implementation of gradual integration. From 2025, the new entity will transition to the target operating model in particular
with the implementation and the stabilization of IT and operational processes.

The impact of this acquisition on the Societe Generale Group's CET1 capital ratio is expected to be 39 basis points.

Societe Generale, ALD and LeasePlan are fully committed to ensuring a smooth implementation of this transaction for the
benefit of their clients.

2.2 Press release as of 6 June 2023: Societe Generale announces agreements


to sell its subsidiaries in Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Mauritania, and Chad as
well as the opening of a strategic review on its subsidiary in Tunisia
Societe Generale has signed agreements with two pan African banking groups for the sale of its subsidiaries in Congo and
Equatorial Guinea to Vista Group, and its subsidiaries in Mauritania and Chad to Coris Group.

These four agreements plan the total divestment of Societe Generale Group's shares in its local African subsidiaries: Société
Générale Congo, Société Générale de Banques en Guinée Équatoriale, Société Générale Mauritanie, and Société Générale
Tchad, currently 93.5%, 57.2%, 95.5% and 67.8% respectively owned by Societe Generale group.

6
According to the commitments made, the two pan African banking groups Vista and Coris would take over all activities
operated by Societe Generale in Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Mauritania and Chad, as well as all of Societe Generale's clients
portfolios and all employees within these entities. Societe Generale group is confident in the ability of Vista Group and
Coris Group to pursue the development strategy of these entities, for the benefit of clients, partners, employees and local
economies.

The completion of these transactions, which could take place by the end of 2023, is subject to the approval of the
entities’ governance bodies, the usual conditions precedent and the validation of the relevant financial and regulatory
authorities. These disposals would have a positive impact of approximately 5 bps on the Group's CET1 ratio at their
completion date.

Africa is a geography with growth potential, where the Group has built a historic presence and intends to focus its resources
on markets where it can position itself among the leading banks, in synergy with the Group's other businesses and with a
critical size allowing a satisfactory and sustainable contribution to value creation. Societe Generale offers the unique
combination of the expertise and know-how of an international bank with the proximity of a locally based bank. The Group
also remains fully committed to supporting its large clients on the African continent, through its global corporate and
investment banking franchises.

Societe Generale has also launched a strategic review of its 52,34% stake in Union Internationale de Banques (UIB), the
subsidiary of Societe Generale in Tunisia. This approach aims to explore possible options that would enable UIB to better
realize its development potential in the coming years for the benefit of its shareholders, clients and employees. In this
context, a non-exclusive process has been initiated.

Slawomir Krupa, the Group’s Chief Executive Officer, commented:


“During the quarter, commercial activity was good in most businesses. Group revenues contracted due to the decline in the
net interest margin in France and in market activities’ revenues against a backdrop of gradual normalisation after some
particularly favourable years. Operating expenses were contained despite persistent inflationary trends. The cost of risk was
very low, reflecting the quality of our origination and our loan portfolio. The Group shows a solid balance sheet with a CET 1
ratio at 13.1% and a robust liquidity profile. In addition, we pursued the execution of our ongoing strategic projects, notably
the closing of the LeasePlan acquisition by ALD. The new management team has been fully operational since taking office on
24 May this year and is working to prepare the next chapter of the Group’s strategy. I will have the pleasure of presenting the
new strategic and financial roadmap on 18 September at our Capital Markets Day to be held in London.”

Societe Generale’s Board of Directors, which met on 2 August 2023 under the chairmanship of Lorenzo Bini Smaghi,
examined the Societe Generale Group’s results for Q2 23 and for the first half of 2023.

The various restatements enabling the transition from underlying data to published data are presented in the Methodology
notes in Section 9.5.

Net banking income


Net banking income decreased in Q2 23 by -8.9% (-10.3%*) vs. Q2 22, largely due to the decline in the net interest
margin in French Retail Banking, a less conducive market environment in Global Banking and Investor Solutions activities
and the booking of one-off items under Corporate Centre.

French Retail Banking revenues fell by -13.6% vs. Q2 22 owing mainly to the decrease in the net interest margin, despite
solid momentum in fees, a record performance from Private Banking and a strong increase in Boursorama’s revenues.

Revenues in International Retail Banking & Financial Services grew by +6.3% (+0.9%*) vs. Q2 22, with a +3.3%* increase in
revenues vs. Q2 22 in International Retail Banking, a strong performance by Financial Services that was driven by ALD
revenues, up +18.7% vs. Q2 22 following the integration of LeasePlan, and by insurance revenues, which rose by +3.1%* vs.
Q2 22.

Global Banking & Investor Services registered revenues down -7.3% in Q2 23 relative to Q2 22 amid a less favourable market
environment. Global Markets & Investor Services recorded solid revenues but which were down in comparison to a very
strong Q2 22 performance (-12.7%) owing to less conducive market conditions, notably in Fixed Income and Currencies
(lower interest rate volatility and slower client activity), while Financing and Advisory continued to post revenue growth,
registering an increase of +4.0% vs. Q2 22, driven by a solid performance in the securitisation, investment banking and
cash management activities.

9
Over the first half of 2023, net banking income fell by -7.1% vs. H1 22 (-5.3% on an underlying basis).

Operating expenses
On a reported basis, operating expenses came to EUR 4,441 million in Q2 23, up +2.7% vs. Q2 22. It includes LeasePlan
operating expenses for EUR 111 million following its consolidation from 22 May 2023. On an underlying basis, they
totalled EUR 4,461 million (adjusted for IFRIC 21 linearisation, transformation charges and one-off expenses), i.e. stable
relative to Q2 22.

One-off expenses totalled EUR 35 million and included litigation payments.

Over the first half, operating expenses came to EUR 9,498 million, up +0.4% vs. H1 22 (+0.7% on an underlying basis).

Excluding the Single Resolution Fund contribution, the underlying cost-to-income ratio(2) came to 65.8% in Q2 23.

Cost of risk
The cost of risk for Q2 23 was low at 12 basis points, i.e. EUR 166 million. It breaks down into a provision on non-
performing loans of EUR 204 million (~14 basis points) and a reversal on performing loans for EUR -38 million (~-3 basis
points).

At end-June 2023, the Group’s provisions on performing loans amounted to EUR 3,713 million, down EUR -56 million
relative to 31 December 2022.

The non-performing loans ratio amounted to 2.9%(2) at 30 June 2023. The gross coverage ratio on doubtful loans for the
Group stood at 46%(3) at 30 June 2023.

Furthermore, the disposal by ALD in April 2023 of its activities in Russia had a limited EUR -79 million impact that was
allocated under net losses from other assets in Corporate Centre. The Group retained a residual exposure of around EUR
15 million in Russia relating to the integration of LeasePlan activities by ALD.

Furthermore, the Group’s Exposure at Default (EAD) on the Russian offshore portfolio was EUR 1.6 billion at 30 June 2023,
i.e. a decrease of -50% since 31 December 2021. This exposure is diversified by sector and in the majority of cases secured
by facilities as Pre-Export Finance facilities, facilities that are guaranteed by an Export Credit Agency or Trade Finance
facilities. The maximum risk exposure on this portfolio is estimated to be less than EUR 0.5 billion before provision and
total provisions stood at EUR 0.4 billion. The Group’s residual exposure to Rosbank was extremely limited at less than EUR
0.1 billion.

This document contains forward-looking statements relating to the targets and strategies of the Societe Generale Group.

These forward-looking statements are based on a series of assumptions, both general and specific, in particular the application
of accounting principles and methods in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as adopted in the
European Union, as well as the application of existing prudential regulations.

These forward-looking statements have also been developed from scenarios based on a number of economic assumptions in the
context of a given competitive and regulatory environment. The Group may be unable to:
- anticipate all the risks, uncertainties or other factors likely to affect its business and to appraise their potential consequences;
- evaluate the extent to which the occurrence of a risk or a combination of risks could cause actual results to differ materially
from those provided in this document and the related presentation.

Therefore, although Societe Generale believes that these statements are based on reasonable assumptions, these forward-
looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including matters not yet known to it or its management or
not currently considered material, and there can be no assurance that anticipated events will occur or that the objectives set out
will actually be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated in the
forward-looking statements include, among others, overall trends in general economic activity and in Societe Generale’s markets
in particular, regulatory and prudential changes, and the success of Societe Generale’s strategic, operating and financial
initiatives.

More detailed information on the potential risks that could affect Societe Generale’s financial results can be found in the section
“Risk Factors” in our Universal Registration Document filed with the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers (which is available
on https://investors.societegenerale.com/en).

Investors are advised to take into account factors of uncertainty and risk likely to impact the operations of the Group when
considering the information contained in such forward-looking statements. Other than as required by applicable law, Societe
Generale does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information or statements. Unless otherwise
specified, the sources for the business rankings and market positions are internal.

9. APPENDIX 2: METHODOLOGY
1 - The financial information presented for the second quarter and first half 2023 was examined by the Board of
Directors on 2 August, 2023 and has been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted in the European Union and
applicable at that date. The limited review procedures on the condensed interim financial statements at 30 June 2023
carried by the Statutory Auditors are currently underway.

2 - Net banking income

The pillars’ net banking income is defined on page 41 of Societe Generale’s 2023 Universal Registration Document. The
terms “Revenues” or “Net Banking Income” are used interchangeably. They provide a normalised measure of each pillar’s
net banking income taking into account the normative capital mobilised for its activity.

3 - Operating expenses

Operating expenses correspond to the “Operating Expenses” as presented in notes 5 and 8.2 to the Group’s consolidated
financial statements as at December 31st, 2022. The term “costs” is also used to refer to Operating Expenses. The
Cost/Income Ratio is defined on page 41 of Societe Generale’s 2023 Universal Registration Document.

4 - IFRIC 21 adjustment

The IFRIC 21 adjustment corrects the result of the charges recognised in the accounts in their entirety when they are due
(generating event) so as to recognise only the portion relating to the current quarter, i.e. a quarter of the total. It consists
in smoothing the charge recognised accordingly over the financial year in order to provide a more economic idea of the
costs actually attributable to the activity over the period analysed.

The contributions to Single Resolution Fund (“SRF”) are part of IFRIC 21 adjusted charges, they include contributions to
national resolution funds within the EU.

23
5 – Exceptional items – Transition from accounting data to underlying data

It may be necessary for the Group to present underlying indicators in order to facilitate the understanding of its actual
performance. The transition from published data to underlying data is obtained by restating published data for
exceptional items and the IFRIC 21 adjustment.

Moreover, the Group restates the revenues and earnings of the French Retail Banking pillar for PEL/CEL provision
allocations or write-backs. This adjustment makes it easier to identify the revenues and earnings relating to the pillar’s
activity, by excluding the volatile component related to commitments specific to regulated savings.

The reconciliation enabling the transition from published accounting data to underlying data is set out in the table below:

6 - Cost of risk in basis points, coverage ratio for doubtful outstandings

The cost of risk is defined on pages 42 and 691 of Societe Generale’s 2023 Universal Registration Document. This indicator
makes it possible to assess the level of risk of each of the pillars as a percentage of balance sheet loan commitments,
including operating leases.

Cost of Risk in bp 12 15 12 27

The gross coverage ratio for doubtful outstandings is calculated as the ratio of provisions recognised in respect of the
credit risk to gross outstandings identified as in default within the meaning of the regulations, without taking account of
any guarantees provided. This coverage ratio measures the maximum residual risk associated with outstandings in default
(“doubtful”).

7 - ROE, ROTE, RONE

The notions of ROE (Return on Equity) and ROTE (Return on Tangible Equity), as well as their calculation methodology, are
specified on page 43 of Societe Generale’s 2023 Universal Registration Document. This measure makes it possible to assess
Societe Generale’s return on equity and return on tangible equity.

RONE (Return on Normative Equity) determines the return on average normative equity allocated to the Group’s
businesses, according to the principles presented on page 43 of Societe Generale’s 2023 Universal Registration Document.

Group net income used for the ratio numerator is book Group net income adjusted for “interest net of tax payable on
deeply subordinated notes and undated subordinated notes, interest paid to holders of deeply subordinated notes and
undated subordinated notes, issue premium amortisations” and “unrealised gains/losses booked under shareholders’
equity, excluding conversion reserves” (see methodology note No. 9). For ROTE, income is also restated for goodwill
impairment.

Details of the corrections made to book equity in order to calculate ROE and ROTE for the period are given in the table
below:

27
9 - Calculation of Earnings Per Share (EPS)

The EPS published by Societe Generale is calculated according to the rules defined by the IAS 33 standard (see page 44 of
Societe Generale’s 2023 Universal Registration Document). The corrections made to Group net income in order to calculate
EPS correspond to the restatements carried out for the calculation of ROE and ROTE. As specified on page 45 of Societe
Generale’s 2023 Universal Registration Document, the Group also publishes EPS adjusted for the impact of non-economic
and exceptional items presented in methodology note No. 5 (underlying EPS).
The calculation of Earnings Per Share is described in the following table:

Average number of shares (thousands) H1 23 Q1 23 2022


Existing shares 822,101 829,046 845,478
Deductions

Shares allocated to cover stock option plans and free shares awarded to staff 6,845 6,899 6,252

EPS (in EUR) 1.73 0.88 1.50
Underlying EPS (in EUR) 2.45 1.05 5.87

10 - The Societe Generale Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital is calculated in accordance with applicable
CRR2/CRD5 rules. The phased-in and fully loaded solvency ratios are presented pro forma for current earnings,
net of dividends, for the current financial year, unless specified otherwise. The leverage ratio is also calculated
according to applicable CRR2/CRD5 rules including the phased-in following the same rationale as solvency
ratios.

10
11 – Funded balance sheet, loan to deposit ratio

The funded balance sheet is based on the Group financial statements. It is obtained in two steps:
- A first step aiming at reclassifying the items of the financial statements into aggregates allowing for a
more economic reading of the balance sheet. Main reclassifications:
Insurance: grouping of the accounting items related to insurance within a single aggregate in both assets
and liabilities.
Customer loans: include outstanding loans with customers (net of provisions and write-downs, including
net lease financing outstanding and transactions at fair value through profit and loss); excludes financial
assets reclassified under loans and receivables in accordance with the conditions stipulated by IFRS 9
(these positions have been reclassified in their original lines).
Wholesale funding:
Includes interbank liabilities and debt securities issued.
Financing transactions have been allocated to medium/long-term resources and short-term resources
based on the maturity of outstanding, more or less than one year.
Reclassification under customer deposits of the share of issues placed by French Retail Banking networks
(recorded in medium/long-term financing), and certain transactions carried out with counterparties
equivalent to customer deposits (previously included in short term financing).
Deduction from customer deposits and reintegration into short-term financing of certain transactions
equivalent to market resources.
- A second step aiming at excluding the contribution of insurance subsidiaries, and netting derivatives,
repurchase agreements, securities borrowing/lending, accruals and “due to central banks”.

(1) The number of shares considered is the average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding treasury shares and
buybacks, but including the trading shares held by the Group

28
The Group loan/deposit ratio is determined as the division of the customer loans by customer deposits as
presented in the funded balance sheet.

NB (1) The sum of values contained in the tables and analyses may differ slightly from the total reported due
to rounding rules.

(2) All the information on the results for the period (notably: press release, downloadable data, presentation
slides and supplement) is available on Societe Generale’s website www.societegenerale.com in the “Investor”
section.

10. APPENDIX 3 : PUBLICATION OF NEW QUARTERLY SERIES

Societe Generale is releasing restated quarterly statements reflecting the impacts from the merger of Societe
Generale and Credit du Nord in France to create a unique brand name, SG.

Following the completion of the merger of French networks in France, the Group proceeded to some non-material
adjustments in its organization with the transfer of Societe des Banques de Monaco and the premium client base from
Credit du Nord to private banking operations in France and the transfer of employee savings’ activities operated by
Services Epargne Entreprises(11) (“S2E”) from French networks in France to insurance activities within International retail
banking and financial services in order to reinforce already existing synergies with financial savings.

The historical quarterly financial reporting has been restated in compliance with the following changes in governance.

This organisational change comprises some immaterial adjustments to the cost sharing of some activities of Global
Markets and Investor Services and Global Banking and Advisory.
All of the above items have no impact on the performance of the Group nor on the Corporate Centre.

The series of 2022 and Q1 23 quarterly results have been adjusted consequently and are available on the Societe
Generale website. (The figures included in this press release are unaudited.)

(1) S2E manages all middle and back office administrative processing of employee savings accounts on behalf of its four custodial account
holder clients (Societe Generale, BNP Paribas, HSBC and AXA). Societe Generale holds a 39.92% stake in the capital of S2E.

2.5.1 Societe Generale Assurances and Tikehau Capital launch an innovative investment
solution contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
Press release, 7 February 2023

Societe Generale Assurances and Tikehau Capital, alternative asset manager, announce a partnership for the launch of SG
Tikehau Dette Privée. This unit-linked support, unprecedented on the French market, offers individual investors the
opportunity to finance selected French and European unlisted companies while supporting the reduction of their
greenhouse gas emissions.

An alternative source of financing to traditional bank loans and bond issuances on the financial markets, private debt is a
source of financing increasingly used by unlisted companies to support their growth. Initially reserved for institutional
investors, this investment strategy is now accessible to individual investors through this innovative support.

The support makes it possible to invest in the debt of French and European SMEs and medium-sized companies with a
strong territorial footprint, to support them in their development (growth, acquisition, international deployment, etc.).

By only financing companies making a commitment to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, SG Tikehau Dette Privée
presents an ambitious low-carbon strategy, aligned with the objectives set by the Paris Climate Agreement(1).
In addition, in order to have a concrete influence on the environmental policy of companies:
Each financed company must commit to a decarbonization trajectory based on the SBTi(2) reference methodology
proposing a concrete application of the Paris Agreement.
Throughout the financing period, an independent audit will annually assess compliance with this trajectory and,
depending on the results, will adjust the financing conditions granted to the company.
Distributed today by Societe Generale Private Banking France, this Article 8 Unit of Account (SFDR)(3) will be available for
24 months on Life Insurance policies insured by Societe Generale Assurances. SG Tikehau Dette Privée is an FCPR(4) offering
easy access to institutional quality assets from €5,000 with a risk level of 4 out of 7 (SRI(5)). Its lifespan is 10 years, but the
capital invested in unit-linked support is available at any time thanks to liquidity provided by Société Générale Assurances.

“We are very pleased with this partnership with Societe Generale, which underlines our pioneering position in private debt
and sustainable financing. It is essential that the asset management sector plays its role in directing French savings
towards the financing of companies and the real economy. Contributing to the achievement of the objectives set by the
Paris Agreement is a priority of our roadmap: it is important for Tikehau Capital to take part in the launch of innovative
solutions promoting the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by companies while providing them with financing to
support their growth” says Antoine Flamarion, co-founder of Tikehau Capital.

“Relying on the expertise of Tikehau Capital, Societe Generale Assurances continues to enrich its savings offer. This
innovative and liquid investment solution will allow our clients to invest in a selection of around fifty companies and marks
a new stage in our desire to democratize access to real assets. The launch of this unique support is, moreover, a new
illustration of our desire to take concrete action in favor of ecological transition and regional development. Our
development ambitions are strong, given the resolutely committed positioning of this offer in favor of reducing
greenhouse gas emissions” adds Philippe Perret, Chief Executive Officer of Societe Generale Assurances.

Hello Watt(1), to facilitate the energy renovation of their property.
SG has partnered with Hello Watt to develop end-to-end, free support, from the study of the energy project to the financing

renovation of housing, complementary to our financing offers. SG thus confirms its ambition to support the ecological
transition and the sustainable development of its customers and regions” says Véronique Loctin, CSR Director of the SG
network in France.

2.5.4 Citizen Capital and SB Factory launch Citizen cis, the first independent impact contract
fund
Press release, 14 March 2023

Impact investment pioneer Citizen Capital is partnering with SB Factory, an expert firm in social innovation, to finance
innovative projects led by social and environmental operators, as part of the innovative impact contracts scheme. The
fund, endowed with €14 million, is subscribed by the European Investment Fund and SG as well as several foundations,
families and private individuals.

The Impact Contract is a partnership between the public and private sectors designed to finance social and environmental
projects that respond to a public policy issue such as mental health, sustainable integration into employment to combat
recidivism, food waste or waste management, etc. Thanks to the raising of private funds and the involvement of multiple
stakeholders, these contracts allow the large-scale development of solutions as close as possible to the needs of the
territories, which can contribute to improve public policies.

An approach focused on avoided costs to the community


Currently endowed with €14 million, Citizen CIS will finance projects labeled by the State aiming at predefined impact
objectives and measured by an independent evaluator, on the following 3 themes: Equal opportunities with the Ministry
of the Economy, Innovation for employment with the Ministry of Labour and Circular Economy with ADEME.

This new funding channel allows the State to develop an approach focused on results and avoided costs for the community
rather than on means. The Citizen CIS fund will increase the social and environmental impact of around ten projects
through unit investments of up to €1.5 million.

"The fund offers subscribers the opportunity to participate in very high-impact projects in a logic of capital preservation.
By benefiting from the reimbursement of their investment, subscribers will be able to reinvest in another project and thus
multiply the impact of the euro invested. It is a new path between philanthropy and traditional investment," explains
Laurence Méhaignerie, President of Citizen Capital.

The CIS fund is the sixth fund managed by Citizen Capital, whose "pioneering" mission since 2008 is to finance and support
projects with a strong social or environmental impact. The co-founders of SB Factory, Pauline Heuzé and Marion de la
Patellière stress that "Impact Contracts create a unique space for exchange between project leaders, financiers, public
payers and evaluators, they are an accelerator of innovation for the public authorities".

Pooling the best skills to solve societal problems


Citizen CIS is subscribed by a dozen financiers, including the European Investment Fund, SG, the Nexity Foundation, the
Indosuez Foundation and the Sycamore Foundation as well as several families and entrepreneurs, including Cédric Sellin,
entrepreneur and investor, who considers that "The CIS fund has the very rare opportunity to invent a new partnership
model between social and environmental operators, the public sector and the investment world. Its success will be an
opportunity to pool the best skills of each actor to solve large-scale societal problems. For me, investing is a risk worth it
in the hope of a better world for future generations."

"For 25 years, we have been supporting social economy actors who act directly in the territories. Our investment in the
Citizen CIS fund is an important step in our commitment. We are convinced that impact contracts are an effective lever for
public transformation. This fund is thus a formidable accelerator of initiatives with impact on the ground," explains Marie-
Christine Ducholet, Director of the SG network in France

2.5.5 Societe Generale partners with world-leading start-ups to boost sustainable and
positive impact finance
Press release, 4 April 2023

Eleven new sustainability-focused start-ups joined Societe Generale’s flagship Global Markets Incubator (GMI) dedicated
to developing ground-breaking solutions for the financial industry. From a selection pool of over 140 applicants, these
start-ups are addressing some of the finance industry’s biggest ESG concerns, including carbon emissions quantification,
impact tracking and measurement, Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCM) and Biodiversity.
Hacina Py, Group Chief Sustainable Officer, explains: “We are proud to welcome within our GMI’s programme these
promising start-ups focused on positive impact, which is at the heart of Societe Generale’s ambitions. This cohort reflects
the importance of innovation as a leverage for sustainable finance to the benefits of our business and our clients.”
Aspiration, Emmi, BeZero Carbon, Enmacc, Regrow, Net Purpose, Simpl, Greenscope, YvesBlue, Arboretica and allcolibri
will participate in a six-month programme to rapidly advance, test, deploy and expose their products and services to

34
Societe Generale’s business environment. The Bank initially launched the GMI programme in 2018 to boost start-ups
collaborations, mix expertise and deliver innovative solutions to capital markets.
This year, the Group doubled the number of participants and welcomed its first sustainability-focused cohort, in support
of its offering for corporate, financial institution and private investor clients, who will benefit from innovative solutions
adapted to their ESG goals.
Isabelle Millat, Head of Sustainability for Global Markets, adds: “In the global markets industry, innovation is crucial to
offer new solutions to our clients, customised to their needs that evolve very quickly, specifically regarding ESG concerns.
GMI is a powerful accelerator to answer these needs.”
Following the programme, successful companies will see their solutions implemented across the bank or exposed to
clients, as Societe Generale supports them on their path to growth. Partnerships with upcoming start-ups provide an
exciting opportunity to collaborate in effective ways to support positive impact finance in these key areas:
Financial carbon metrics
Corporate carbon footprint is currently at the heart of investment decisions. A growing number of companies now reports
their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and assesses their contribution to climate change risks. Data remain still often
complex, non-standardised or incomplete data, and Societe Generale’s role is to help investors evaluate the progress that
companies make to achieve carbon emissions reduction and deliver an impact.
• With Emmi
Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCM)
The Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) is gaining importance in the transition to net zero to offset non-abatable emissions by
offering for example opportunities to develop nature-based solutions projects. The market, however, faces several
challenges, like certification methodologies, liquidity and price transparency. Some project developers also still lack
access to finance due to market opacity and a low investor risk appetite.
• With Aspiration, BeZero Carbon, Enmacc
Impact investing and financing
The search for positive social and environmental impacts is at the heart of the decisions of a growing number of investors
or lenders, who aim to accelerate the transition of companies.
Leveraging its own deep sectorial expertise, Societe Generale has strong expectation from these collaborations to allow
rapid progress in the areas of risk management, analytics, insights generation and distribution, across all asset classes in
listed and private markets.
• With Net Purpose, Simpl, Greenscope, YvesBlue, Arboretica, allcolibri
Biodiversity
While net zero commitments represent a big step forward in the decarbonation trajectories, it is also important to bear in
mind the major challenges of preserving biodiversity and ecosystems. Societe Generale can take concrete actions in favour
of biodiversity through dedicated banking solutions and looks to further develop its offering by proposing innovative
services.
• With Regrow
Antoine Connault, Head of Global Markets Incubator, explains: “Whether the challenge is climate change, positive impact
or governance-related matters, the GMI’s programme offers a very exciting opportunity to work with top-of-the-class
companies and develop out-of-the-box thinking. We look forward to building strong partnerships through the
programme!”

2.5.7 SG launches the solar pack to support its corporate and institutional customers from
end to end in the installation of photovoltaic panels
Press release, 27 April 2023

To meet the economic and environmental challenges of companies, associations and local authorities customers, SG Bank
is launching the Solar Pack: a solution for the installation of photovoltaic panels. The customer, accompanied by the
diagnosis to the realization of his project, can thus use or resell the electricity generated.

As a partner in its clients' energy transition, the bank offered them a solution to measure their carbon footprint in 2022.
Today, with the Solar Pack, SG supports them in the installation of photovoltaic panels and advises them throughout the
duration of the project:
• The bank identifies the need and estimates the feasibility of the project. Thus, the project managers will use a
new tool, resulting from the partnership between SG and namR, a startup specialized in the production of data
on buildings and their environment. The tool is based on enriched, precise and usable data (concerning the
terrain, the sunshine rate, the materials, the building, etc.) to provide an overall and realistic vision of the project.
• In order to carry out an in-depth study, SG puts the client in touch with partners, selected after a rigorous process,
recognized for their expertise and the quality of their services: Apex Energies, Legendre Energie and Sunopée
(Léon Grosse Énergies Renouvelables).
• Finally, the SG project manager can offer an Environmental and Social loan to finance the implementation of the
operation.
The Solar Pack, which embodies one of the bank's ambitions to support the ecological transition of regions and their
ecosystems, allows customers to act on:
• The reduction of the carbon footprint related to the electricity consumption of their buildings,
• which is in line with the objectives of the NLCS (National Low Carbon Strategy).
• The valuation of their real estate assets.
• Securing part of their energy bill thanks to the two possible valuations of photovoltaic electricity: total or partial
self-consumption, or injection into the grid to resell their production.
• The compliance of their buildings with all the regulations in force (Tertiary Decree, etc.).
"In line with the ambition of SG, the Solar Pack responds responsibly and innovatively to the expectations of our
companies, associations and local authorities customers, who want concrete support in their environmental issues.
Thanks to the expertise of our partners, recognized in the field of solar and data, we advise our clients in their CSR approach
and the implementation of their energy transition projects," says Véronique LOCTIN, CSR Director of the SG Network in
France.

2.5.8 Societe Generale takes a participation in Polestar Capital Circular Debt Fund to
accelerate its support to the circular economy
Hilversum 29 June 2023 - Polestar Capital announces the acquisition of a stake by Societe Generale Amsterdam in Polestar
Capital Circular Debt Fund, the sole debt fund in Europe dedicated to the circular economy. This participation and related
commercial partnership will support innovation and help scale up circular economy projects and solutions.

The Polestar Capital Circular Debt Fund (PCDF), launched in 2022 and based in the Netherlands, provides non-dilutive
funding to companies with circular economy principles at their core. It targets fast-growing markets addressed by circular
models in areas such as biomass waste, biomolecules, plastics pollution processing, and sustainable construction and
man-built environment.
Financing circular economy projects, though urgently required, remains a challenge because of applicable regulation,
exposure to new technologies and new markets, and the relatively small scale of investments. This partnership aims to

36
establish a continuity of financing solutions for circular ventures, with a first level of debt support provided by PCDF early
on and a smooth transition to Societe Generale for their next stages of development.

Marie-Aimée Boury, Head of Impact Based Finance at Societe Generale Corporate & Investment Banking says: “Supporting
the circular economy is crucial in the fight against climate change and biodiversity loss. It also builds long term resilience
and cost-effectiveness into our clients’ business models and across their value chains. We’re very happy to partner with
Polestar Capital whose expertise will accelerate our involvement in this new market segment and support our clients in
their positive impact transformation.”
Jan-Willem König, CEO of Polestar Capital adds: “The fund finances innovative circular breakthrough technologies that
require relatively large sums of capital and that take time to realise positive cashflows. Financing such companies is
complex within the context of traditional credit processes and banking regulations. In the meantime, we don’t have the
luxury to be patient in scaling sustainable circular technologies, as we need to reduce our emissions and pollution rather
sooner than later.
We are therefore very pleased with the combined investment of Societe Generale in the fund, as well our partnership for
the mutual financing of the further upscaling of circular innovators. This combination allows us to already support circular
companies in a phase not yet suitable for traditional bank financing, but also connects the borrowers of the fund with a
partner that may finance the roll-out of their circular technology. We believe the partnership is an important step for the
further acceleration of the transition to a circular economy, in the Netherlands and beyond.”

2.5.9 Franfinance lance Franfipay, une offre innovante de crédit long sur les sites e-
commerce
Press release as of 8 June 2023
In order to meet the new challenges of e-commerce, Franfinance, a specialist consumer credit subsidiary of Societe
Generale, announces the launch of Franfipay, an innovative fully digital and secure financing solution, accessible by
individuals via the site of merchant partners from Franfinance. Franfipay is now one of the fastest solutions on the market
for financing online purchases over a period of up to 60 months and for amounts from €100 to €30,000.
Long-term financing, the key to the continued development of e-commerce
In its 2022 e-commerce report, the FEVAD (Federation of e-commerce and distance selling) reveals that more than 10,000
merchant sites were created in 2022. The study also indicates that the number of transactions carried out on the internet
and the price of the average basket spent online increased by 6.5% and 6.9% respectively compared to 2021. “Consumers
expect from e-commerce the same financing facilities as those available in stores for capital goods (large household
appliances, home improvement, etc.). Long-term financing is the sine qua none condition for the continued development
of e-commerce. Our new Franfipay long-term financing offer is the ideal response to this challenge because it allows e-
merchants to offer assigned credit from their website, which meets the strictest regulatory requirements, with remote
subscription, to enable their customers to finance their purchases online", explains Frédéric JACOB-PERON, Managing
Director of Franfinance.
Franfipay, an innovative financing solution to increase the conversion rate of online sales
With the ambition of becoming the benchmark for long-term e-commerce credit, Franfinance provides Franfipay e-
merchants with all the tools to enable them to offer financing adapted to the baskets of their customers:
- payment facilities in 3 and 4 instalments free of charge, for amounts less than €4,000, with implementation in the
customer journey of e-commerce sites simplified thanks to the use of API-type technologies;
- a long term credit offer with financing for online purchases over a period of more than 4 months and up to 60 months;
and for amounts from €1,000 to €30,000.
Subscription is done in a few minutes and consumers will be able to receive a firm and definitive answer within a short
time (on average within 24 working hours and within a maximum of 48 hours). The entire course is completely
dematerialized and completely secure. Co-constructed with Franfinance partners and compatible with all e-commerce
sites, Franfipay limits the risk of fraud (in particular through the use of facial recognition) and also the risk of non-payment.
Finally, the installation of the solution is quick, the simple customer journey adapts to the colors of the merchant site to
preserve the customer experience.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy of the Societe Generale group to build a complete and innovative offer for e-
merchants.

2.6.2 Main changes in the scope of consolidation
The main change to the consolidation scope as at 30 June 2023, compared with the scope applicable at the closing date of
31 December 2022, is as follow:

LEASEPLAN ACQUISTION BY ALD


On 22 May 2023, following the approval of ALD’s Board of Directors and relevant regulatory authorities approvals, ALD
acquired 100% of LeasePlan for a consideration of EUR 4,882 million. This amount is subject to a contingent additional
consideration of an amount up to EUR 235 million in cash, according to the achievements of objectives related to
LeasePlan’s regulatory ratios particulary.
The consideration includes:
• A cash component: approximately EUR 1,828 million mainly financed via a capital increase of EUR 1,212 million.
Societe Generale held 79.82% of ALD’s capital prior to this increase. In accordance with its commitment to remain
ALD’s majority shareholder in the long term, Societe Generale subscribed to new shares for an amount of EUR
803 million representing 66.26% of the capital increase and held, at the end of 2022, 75.94% of ALD;
• A share component: 251,215,332 new ALD shares have been issued, representing 30.75% of ALD capital after the
completion of the acquisition, and before the exercise of warrants (ABSA). The value of this share component
amounts to EUR 2,871 million, based on the fair value of ALD's shares of EUR 11.43 at the completion date;
• A warrant component: ALD has issued 26,310,039 warrants attached to ALD’s share (ABSA) for the benefit of
LeasePlan’s selling shareholders, so that their total shareholding could reach 32.91% in case of full exercise of
warrants. These warrants were valued EUR 128 million, as at 22 May 2023;
• A contingent consideration: estimated by the Group at its fair value of EUR 55 million, as at the closing date of
the transaction. The earn out mechanism will last until 31 December 2024, subject to an additional 6-month
period in certain limited circumstances, with potential payments every quarter. In the Group’s financial
statements the contingent consideration is recorded as Other liabilities as at 30 June 2023.
As a result, after the completion of the LeasePlan acquisition, Societe Generale remains the majority shareholder of ALD
with a stake of 52.59%. This stake may be reduced to 50.95% in the event of the exercise of the shares with warrants
attached that have been granted to LeasePlan shareholders to allow them to increase their stake up to 32.91% of ALD’s
social capital. As of 30 June 2023, the former LeasePlan shareholders consortium led by TDR Capital holds 30.75% of the
combined entity, while the free float represents 16.66%.
Following the transaction, ALD (combined entity), after the acquisition of LeasePlan, keeps being fully consolidated by the
Group.

2.6.3 Changes in major consolidated balance sheet items


Cash, due from central banks and due to central banks increased respectively by EUR 8.4 billion (+4.0%) & EUR 1.1 billion
(+13.3%) compared to 31 December 2022. The increase in assets is mainly due to the growth of cash due from Reserve
Federal Bank and Bank of France.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss increased by EUR 69.2 billion (+16.2%) compared to 31 December
2022. This evolution is the result of an increase in securities purchased under resale agreements for EUR +39.1 EUR billion
and an upward trend on bonds and equities for EUR +17.4 EUR billion and EUR +10.5 billion respectively.
Financial liabilities as fair value through profit or loss increased by EUR 76.6 billion (+25.2%) compared to 31 December
2022. This evolution is mainly due to the rises in securities sold under repurchase agreements and in structured bonds
issued by the group for EUR +60.2 billion EUR +15.5 billion respectively.
Hedging derivatives decreased by EUR 1.8 billion to assets (-5.6%) and by EUR 2 billion to liabilities (-4.3%) compared
with 31 December 2022. This variation is related to the fall in fair value hedging instruments and mainly to the interest rate
swaps.
Due from banks at amortized cost rose by EUR 15.1 billion (+22.1%) compared to 31 December 2022, due to the increase
in current accounts and in the reverse repo transaction with Czech National Bank.
Customer loans at amortized cost decreased by EUR 16.2 billion (-3.2%) compared to 31 December 2022, mainly
explained by the drop of the overdraft on current accounts for EUR -5.9 billion, and the decline on credit loans for EUR -
11.8 billion due to the stagnation of new loans, considering the economic environment.
Debt securities issued rose by EUR 18.1 billion (+13.6%) compared to 31 December 2022, explained essentially by the
variation on Interbank certificates and negotiable debt instruments for EUR +15.9 billion.
Customer deposits increased by EUR 15.9 billion (+3%) compared to 31 December 2022, due essentially to the purchase
of LeasePlan and an increase in term client deposits due to the rise of interest rates.
Due to banks decreased by EUR 13.1 billion (-9.8%) compared to 31 December 2022. This decrease is explained by the
anticipated reimbursement of the TLTRO III by SG Paris for EUR-19.3 billion.

39
Other assets decreased by EUR 8.5 billion (-10.4%) compared to 31 December 2022, mainly due to the decline in deposits
paid to the Clearing house for EUR -8.8 billion.
Other liabilities decreased by EUR 13.9 billion (-12.9%) compared to 31 December 2022, mainly due to the decline in the
forward financial instruments deposits paid by the customers in the energy sector, due to the fall in the price of gasoline.

Insurance contracts related liabilities increased by EUR 2.9 billion (+2.1%) compared to 31 December 2022, due to the
increase in the valuation of the contracts with participation, linked to the upward trend of the market value on affected
assets, booked under IFRS9.
Tangible and intangible fixed assets rose by EUR 23.6 billion (+69%) compared to 31 December 2022, linked to the
purchase of LeasePlan which has caused an increase in assets leased by specialized financing companies of EUR +20.8
billion.
Goodwill grew by EUR 1.7 billion (+46%) compared to 31 December 2022 explained by the acquisition of LeasePlan.
The Group shareholders’ equity amounted to EUR 68 billion as at 30 June 2023 versus 67 billion as at 31 December 2022.
This variation was attributable primarily to the following factors:

• Net income group share for the first semester of 2023: EUR 1.8 billion;
• Issuance of the deeply subordinated notes during the first semester of 2023: EUR 1 billion;
• Distribution of dividends: EUR -1.4 billion.

The rise on the non-controlling interest of EUR 3.6 billion is mainly due to the decrease in the detention rate in ALD group
from 75.94% as at 31 December 2022 to 52.59% as at 30 June 2023.
After taking into account the non-controlling interest EUR 10 billion, the Group shareholders’ equity totalled EUR 78 billion
as at 30 June 2023.

2.7 Property and equipment


Update of pages 62 and 65 of the 2023 Universal Registration Document

specialized financing companies (EUR 63.5 billion), investment property (EUR 0.7 billion) and other tangible assets (EUR
6.1 billion).
The net book value of the tangible operating assets and investment property amounted to EUR 54.2 billion, representing

3.3 General Management


Press Release dated 24 May 2023
Appointed Chief Executive Officer by the Board of Directors after the General Meeting on May 23, 2023, Slawomir Krupa
establishes the new management team of the Group, and announces that the presentation of the Group’s new strategic
and financial roadmap will take place on September 18, 2023.
Effective today, the new management team, led by Slawomir Krupa, will be comprised of two Deputy Chief Executive
Officers, Philippe Aymerich and Pierre Palmieri, and a newly created Executive Committee.

The mission of this management team, is, together with all Societe Generale staff, to further pursue the development of
the Group, while serving its 25 million customers in France and abroad and making a purposeful and responsible
contribution to sustainable development goals.

The new strategic and financial roadmap will be presented to investors on September 18, 2023 at a Capital Markets Day in
London.

As announced on March 9, management has defined three priority objectives:

The efficient stewardship of the capital entrusted to the Group by its shareholders;
The quality of execution of the Group’s long-term roadmap, starting with our ongoing strategic projects: the full

venture with AllianceBernstein, and the roll-out of the Group ESG strategy; and
The structural improvement of the Group’s operational performance and profitability.

Generale Group to which I have dedicated most of my entire professional life since 1996. But above all, I feel a great
responsibility - toward our employees, our clients and our shareholders - in opening this new chapter in the Group's 160-
year history, while being mindful of the challenges but also of the many opportunities. We are here to serve our clients and
support their endeavors with passion, professionalism, and commitment. They deserve our best. So do our shareholders,
whose capital we manage and whose trust we shall earn and preserve day in and day out. The broader society and the
communities of which we are part deserve from us the highest standards in terms of conduct and responsibility and that
our activities will make a positive impact. This much we pledge, my team and I."

4. RISKS AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY

4.1 Risk factors


Update of pages 163 to 174 of the 2023 Universal Registration Document

The numbering of the risk factors is unchanged from that published in the 2023 Universal Registration Document. Risk
factors not mentioned in this amendment are deemed unchanged.

4.1.1 Risks related to the macroeconomic, geopolitical, market and regulatory


environments
4.1.1.2 The Group’s failure to achieve its strategic and financial objectives disclosed to the market could
have an adverse effect on its business and results of operations.
The Group is fully on track to achieving its strategic milestones and has set targets for profitable and sustainable growth
by 2025 with:
▪ average annual revenue growth of 3% or greater over the 2021-2025 period by focusing on growth in the most profitable
businesses;
▪ an improved cost to income ratio equal to or lower than 62% in 2025 and ROTE of 10% based on a targeted CET1 ratio of
12% in 2025;
▪ disciplined management of scarce resources, in addition to keeping a tight rein on risks, will help strengthen and
improve the quality of the Bank’s balance sheet;
▪ stringent loan portfolio management with cost of risk of around 30 basis points in 2025;
▪ increased use of new technologies and digital transformation;
▪ commitments in Environmental, Social and Governance areas.
More precisely, the Group’s “Vision 2025” project involves a merger between the Retail Banking network of Societe
Generale in France and Crédit du Nord. Although this project has been designed to achieve controlled execution, the
merger could have a short-term material adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial position and costs.The project
could lead to some staff departures, requiring replacements and training efforts which could potentially generate
additional costs. The merger could also lead to the departure of some of the Group’s customers, resulting in loss of
revenue.
Following ALD’s announcement on 6 January 2022 of its plan to acquire LeasePlan, Societe Generale and ALD announced
on 22 May 2023 the completion of the acquisition of 100% of LeasePlan's share capital by ALD, with the aim of creating a
global leader in mobility solutions. The years 2023 and 2024 will be an intermediate period, with the implementation of
gradual integrations. From 2025 onwards, the new entity will make the transition to the target business model, including
the implementation and stabilization of IT and operational processes. If the integration plan is not carried out as expected
or within the planned schedule, this could have adverse effects on ALD, particularly by generating additional costs, which
could have a negative impact on the Group's activities and results.
The Group also announced in November 2022 the signing of a letter of intent with AllianceBernstein to combine the equity
research and execution businesses in a joint venture to create a leading global franchise in these activities. This
announcement was followed by the signature of an acquisition agreement in early February 2023.
The conclusion of final agreements on these strategic transactions depends on several stakeholders and, accordingly, is
subject to a degree of uncertainty (legal terms, delays in the integration process of LeasePlan or in the merger of the Crédit
du Nord agencies).
Societe Generale has placed Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) at the heart of its strategy in order to contribute
to positive transformations in the environment and the development of local regions. In this respect, the Group has made
a certain number of commitments (see Chapter 2, page 46 and following and Chapter 5, page 291 and following of the 2023
URD). Failure to comply with these commitments, and those that the Group may make in the future, could entail legal and
reputation risks. Furthermore, the rollout of these commitments may have an impact on the Group's business model. Last,
failure to make specific commitments, particularly in the event of changes in market practices, could also generate
reputation and strategic risks.

55
The Group may face execution risk on these strategic projects, which are to be carried out simultaneously. Any difficulty
encountered during the process of integrating the activities (particularly from a human resources standpoint) is likely to
generate higher integration costs and lower-than-anticipated savings, synergies and benefits. Moreover, the process of
integrating the acquired operational businesses into the Group could disrupt the operations of one or more of its
subsidiaries and divert General Management’s attention, which could have a negative impact on the Group’s business and
results.
4.1.1.3 The Group is subject to an extended regulatory framework in each of the countries in which it
operates and changes to this regulatory framework could have a negative effect on the Group’s
businesses, financial position and costs, as well as on the financial and economic environment in which
it operates.
The Group is subject to the laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This includes French, European and US legislation
as well as other local laws in light of the Group’s cross-border activities, among other factors. The application of existing
laws and the implementation of future legislation require significant resources that could affect the Group’s performance.
In addition, possible failure to compliance with laws could lead to fines, damage to the Group’s reputation and public
image, force the suspension of its operations or, in extreme cases, the withdrawal of operating licences.
Among the laws that could have a significant influence on the Group:
▪ several regulatory changes are still likely to significantly alter the framework for Market activities: (i) the possible
strengthening of transparency constraints related to the implementation of the new requirements and investor
protection measures (review of MiFID II/MiFIR, IDD, ELTIF (European Long-Term Investment Fund Regulation)), (ii) the
implementation of the fundamental review of the trading book, or FRTB, which may significantly increase requirements
applicable to European banks and (iii) possible relocations of clearing activities could be requested, despite the
European Commission’s decision of 8 February 2022 to extend the equivalence granted to UK central counterparties
until 30 June 2025;
▪ new requirements resulting from the EU banking regulation reform proposal presented on 27 October 2021 by the
European Commission. The reform consists of several legislative instruments to amend the directive on capital
requirements (European Parliament and EU Council, Directive 2013/36/EU, 26 June 2013) as well as the regulation on
capital requirements (CRR) (European Parliament and EU Council, regulation (EU) No. 575/2013, 26 June 2013);
▪ in the United States, the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act has almost been finalised. The Securities and Exchange
Commission’s (SEC) regulations relating to security-based swap dealers have been implemented and Societe Generale
has been registered with the SEC as a Securities Based Swap Dealer;
▪ european measures aimed at restoring banks’ balance sheets, especially through active management of non-performing
loans (“NPLs”), which are leading to a rise of prudential requirements and an adaptation of the Group’s strategy for
managing NPLs. More generally, additional measures to define a framework of good practices for granting (e.g., loan
origination orientations published by the European Banking Authority) and monitoring loans could also have an impact
on the Group;
▪ the strengthening of data quality and protection requirements and a future strengthening of cyber-resilience
requirements in relation to the adoption by the Council on 28 November 2022, which completes the legislative process,
of the European directive and regulation package on digital operational resilience for the financial sector;
▪ the implementation of European regulatory frameworks related to due diligence under the so-called "CSDD" directive
(Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence), as well as to sustainable finance, with an increase in non-financial reporting
obligations, particularly under the CSRD directive (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), enhanced inclusion of
environmental, social and governance issues in risk management activities and the inclusion of such risks in the
supervisory review and assessment process (Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process, or SREP);
▪ the strengthening of the crisis prevention and resolution regime set out in the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive
of 15 May 2014 (“BRRD”), as revised, which gives the Single Resolution Board (“SRB”) the power to initiate a resolution
procedure towards a credit institution when the point of non-viability is considered reached. In this context, the SRB
could, in order to limit the cost to the taxpayer, force some creditors and the shareholders of the Group to incur losses
in priority. Should the resolution mechanism be triggered, the Group could, in particular, be forced to sell certain of its
activities, modify the terms and conditions of the remuneration of its debt instruments, issue new debt instruments,
accept a depreciation of its debt instruments or convert them into equity securities.
▪ the European Commission's initiative, published on 18 April 2023, aiming to strengthen the framework for bank crisis
management and deposit insurance (CMDI)
▪ the strategy for retail investors presented by the European Commission on 24 May 2023, aiming to prioritize the interests
of retail investors and enhance their confidence in the EU Capital Markets Union.
New legal and regulatory obligations could also be imposed on the Group in the future, such as:

56
▪ the ongoing implementation in France of consumer-oriented measures affecting retail banking,
▪ the potential requirement at the European level to open more access to banking data to third-party service providers,
▪ new obligations arising from a package of proposed measures announced by the European Commission on 20 July 2021
aiming to strengthen the European supervisory framework around the fight against money laundering and terrorist
financing, as well as the creation of a new European agency to fight money laundering;
▪ from 2023, new regulatory texts will enter into force concerning rate risk of Banking Book (stress on IM, caps/limits on
maturity of deposits flows, etc.) and credit rate of banking portfolio. These new texts could constrain certain aspects of
rate and credit risk monitoring.
The Group is also subject to complex tax rules in the countries where it operates. Changes in applicable tax rules,
uncertainty regarding the interpretation of certain evolutions or their effects may have a negative impact on the Group’s
business, financial position and costs.
Moreover, as an international bank that handles transactions with US persons, denominated in US dollars, or involving US
financial institutions, the Group is subject to US regulations relating in particular to compliance with economic sanctions,
the fight against corruption and market abuse. More generally, in the context of agreements with US and French
authorities, the Group largely implemented, through a dedicated programme and a specific organisation, corrective
actions to address identified deficiencies and strengthen its compliance programme. In the event of a failure to comply
with relevant US regulations, or a breach of the Group’s commitments under these agreements, the Group could be
exposed to the risk of (i) administrative sanctions, including fines, suspension of access to US markets, and even
withdrawals of banking licences, (ii) criminal proceedings, and (iii) damage to its reputation.
4.1.1.6 The Group is subject to regulations relating to resolution procedures, which could have an
adverse effect on its business and the value of its financial instruments.
The BRRD and Regulation (EU) No. 806/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union of
15 July 2014 (the Single Resolution Mechanism, or “SRM”) define, respectively, a European Union-wide framework and a
Banking Union-wide framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms. The BRRD
provides the authorities with a set of tools to intervene early and quickly enough in an institution considered to be failing
so as to ensure the continuity of the institution’s essential financial and economic functions while reducing the impact of
the failure of an institution on the economy and the financial system (including the exposure of taxpayers to the
consequences of the failure). Within the Banking Union, under the SRM Regulation, a centralised resolution authority is
established and entrusted to the SRB and national resolution authorities.
The powers granted to the resolution authority under the BRRD and the SRM Regulations include write-down/conversion
powers to ensure that capital instruments and eligible liabilities absorb the Group’s losses and recapitalise it in accordance
with an established order of priority (the “Bail-in Tool”). Subject to certain exceptions, losses are borne first by the
shareholders and then by the holders of additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital instruments, then by the non-preferred senior
debt holders and finally by the senior preferred debt holders, all in the order of their claims in a normal insolvency
proceeding. The conditions for resolution provided by the French Monetary and Financial Code implementing the BRRD
are deemed to be met if: (i) the resolution authority or the competent supervisory authority determines that the institution
is failing or likely to fail; (ii) there is no reasonable perspective that any measure other than a resolution measure could
prevent the failure within a reasonable timeframe; and (iii) a resolution measure is necessary to achieve the resolutions’
objectives (in particular, ensuring the continuity of critical functions, avoiding a significant negative effect on the financial
system, protecting public funds by minimising the recourse to extraordinary public financial support, and protecting
customers’ funds and assets) and the winding up of the institution under normal insolvency proceedings would not meet
these objectives to the same extent.
The resolution authority could also, independently of a resolution measure or in combination with a resolution measure,
proceed with the write-down or conversion of all or part of the Group’s capital instruments (including subordinated debt
instruments) into Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) instruments if it determines that the Group will no longer be viable unless
it exercises this write-down or conversion power or if the Group requires extraordinary public financial support (except
where the extraordinary public financial support is provided in the form defined in Article L. 613-48 III, paragraph 3 of the
French Monetary and Financial Code).
The Bail-in Tool could result in the write-down or conversion of capital instruments in whole or in part into ordinary shares
or other ownership instruments.
In addition to the Bail-in Tool, the BRRD provides the resolution authority with broader powers to implement other
resolution measures with respect to institutions that meet the resolution requirements, which may include (without
limitation) the sale of the institution’s business segments, the establishment of a bridge institution, the split of assets, the
replacement or substitution of the institution as debtor of debt securities, changing the terms of the debt securities
(including changing the maturity and/or amount of interest payable and/or the imposition of a temporary suspension of

57
payments), the dismissal of management, the appointment of a provisional administrator and the suspension of the listing
and admission to trading of financial instruments.
Before taking any resolution action, including the implementation of the Bail-in Tool, or exercising the power to write down
or convert relevant capital instruments, the resolution authority must ensure that a fair, prudent and realistic valuation of
the institution’s assets and liabilities is made by a third party independent of any public authority.
The application of any measure under the French implementing provisions of the BRRD or any suggestion of such
application to the Group could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s ability to meet its obligations under its
financial instrument and, as a result, holders of these securities could lose their entire investment.
In addition, if the Group’s financial condition deteriorates, the existence of the Bail-in Tool or the exercise of write-down
or conversion powers or any other resolution tool by the resolution authority (independently of or in combination with a
resolution) if it determines that Societe Generale or the Group will no longer be viable could result in a more rapid decline
in the value of the Group’s financial instruments than in the absence of such powers.

4.1.2 CREDIT AND COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISKS


Weighted assets (RWA) in relation to credit and counterparty risks amounted to EUR 324.6 billion at 30 June
2023.
4.1.2.2 The financial soundness and conduct of other financial institutions and market
participants could have an adverse effect on the Group’s business.
Financial institutions and other market players (commercial or investment banks, credit insurers, mutual funds,
alternative funds, institutional clients, clearing houses, investment service providers, etc.) are important counterparties
for the Group in capital or inter-bank markets. Financial services institutions and financial players are closely interrelated
as a result of trading, clearing and funding relationships. In addition, there is a growing involvement in the financial
markets of players with little or no regulation (hedge funds, for example). As a result, defaults by one or several actors in
the sector or a crisis of confidence affecting one or more actors could result in market-wide liquidity scarcity or chain
defaults, which would have an adverse effect on the Group’s activity but which is subject to a specific framework.
Developments in the financial markets, and in particular the rise in interest rates compounded by high volatility, could also
weaken or even cause the default of certain financial actors, thereby increasing liquidity risk and the cost of funding. In
addition, certain financial actors could experience operational or legal difficulties in the unwinding or settlement of certain
financial transactions.
The Group is exposed to clearing institutions and their members because of the increase in transactions traded through
these institutions, induced in part by regulatory changes that require mandatory clearing for over-the-counter derivative
instruments standardised by these clearing counterparties. The Group’s exposure to clearing houses amounted to
EUR 32.7 billion of EAD on 31 December 2022. The default of a member of a clearing institution12 could generate losses
for the Group and have an adverse effect on the business and results of the Group. These risks are also subject to specific
monitoring and supervision.
The Group is also exposed on assets held as collateral for credit or derivatives instruments, with the risk that, in the event
of failure of the counterparty, some of these assets may not be sold or that their disposal price may not cover the entire
exposure in credit and counterparty risks. These assets are subject to periodic monitoring and a specific management
framework.

4.1.3 MARKET AND STRUCTURAL RISKS


Market risk corresponds to the risk of impairment of financial instruments resulting from changes in market parameters,
the volatility of these parameters and the correlations between these parameters. The concerned parameters include
exchange rates, interest rates, as well as the prices of securities (shares, bonds) and commodities, derivatives and any
other assets.
4.1.3.2 Changes and volatility in the financial markets may have a material adverse effect on the Group’s
business and the results of market activities.
In the course of its activities, the Group takes trading positions in the debt, currency, commodities and stock markets, as
well as in unlisted shares, real estate assets and other types of assets including derivatives. The Group is thus exposed to
“market risk”. Volatility in the financial markets can have a material adverse effect on the Group’s market activities. In
particular:

12
The Group is also exposed to the risk of default of a clearing institution, which would be a major/systemic event considered to be less
likely.

58
▪ significant volatility over a long period of time could lead to corrections on risky financial assets (and especially on the
riskiest assets) and generate losses for the Group;
▪ a sudden change in the levels of volatility and its structure, or alternative short-term sharp declines and fast rebounds
in markets, could make it difficult or more costly to hedge certain structured products and thus increase the risk of loss
for the Group.
Severe market disruptions and high market volatility have occurred in recent years and may occur again in the future,
which could result in significant losses for the Group’s markets activities. Such losses may extend to a broad range of
trading and hedging products, notably on derivative instruments, both vanilla and structured.
In the event that a much lower-volatility environment emerges, reflecting a generally optimistic sentiment in the markets
and/or the presence of systematic volatility sellers, increased risks of correction may also develop, particularly if the main
market participants have similar positions (market positions) on certain products. Such corrections could result in
significant losses for the Group’s market activities. The volatility of the financial markets makes it difficult to predict trends
and implement effective trading strategies; it also increases risk of losses from net long positions when prices decline and,
conversely, from net short positions when prices rise. The realisation of any such losses could have a material adverse
effect on the Group’s results of operations and financial position.
Similarly, the sudden decrease in, or even the cancellation of, dividends, as experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic,
and changes in the correlations of different assets of the same class, could affect the Group’s performance, with many
activities being sensitive to these risks.
A prolonged slowdown in financial markets or reduced liquidity in financial markets could make asset disposals or position
manoeuvrability more difficult, leading to significant losses. In many of the Group’s activity segments, a prolonged decline
in financial markets, particularly asset prices, could reduce the level of activity in these markets or their liquidity. These
variations could lead to significant losses if the Group were unable to quickly unwind the positions concerned, adjust the
coverage of its positions, or if the assets held in collateral could not be divested, or if their selling prices did not cover the
Group’s entire exposure on defaulting loans or derivatives.
The assessment and management of the Group’s market risks are based on a set of risk indicators that make it possible to
evaluate the potential losses incurred at various time horizons and given probability levels, by defining various scenarios
for changes in market parameters impacting the Group’s positions. These scenarios are based on historical observations
or are hypothetically defined. However, these risk management approaches are based on a set of assumptions and
reasoning that could turn out to be inadequate in certain configurations or in the case of unexpected events, resulting in a
potential underestimation of risks and a significant negative effect on the results of the Group’s market activities.
Furthermore, in the event of a deterioration of the market situation, the Group could experience a decline in the volume
of transactions carried out on behalf of its customers, leading to a decrease in the revenues generated from this activity
and in particular in commissions received.
The first signs of slowing inflation, accompanied by a normalisation in monetary policies of certain central banks, has led
to an improvement in overall sentiment of the financial markets and the appreciation of risky assets during the first half
of 2023. However, the deterioration of certain macroeconomic and financial indicators suggests a possible recession in
Europe and the US by the end of the year. This could have a significant negative impact on the Group’s market activities
and results. Finally, financial markets outlook remains uncertain due in part to inflationary pressures, to a turbulent
geopolitical context and to turmoil within the global banking sector.
For information purposes, Global Markets & Investor Services activities represented EUR 3.4 billion of net banking income
in 2023, or 27% of the Group’s total revenues. At 30 June 2023, risk-weighted assets (RWA) in relation to market risk
represented EUR 11.6 billion (3% of the Group’s total RWA).
4.1.3.4 Adjustments to the carrying amount of the Group's securities and derivatives portfolios and of
its debt could have an impact on its net income and shareholders' equity.
The carrying amount of Societe Generale's securities portfolios, derivatives and certain other assets, as well as its own
debt recorded in its balance sheet, is adjusted at each financial statement reporting date.
Most adjustments are made on the basis of changes in the fair value of the Group's assets or liabilities during the financial
year, and changes are recorded either in the income statement or directly in shareholders' equity.
Variations recorded in the income statement, to the extent that they are not offset by opposite variations in the value of
other assets, affect the Group's consolidated results and consequently its net income.
All fair value adjustments have an impact on shareholders' equity and, consequently, on the Group's prudential ratios.
A downward adjustment in the fair value of the Group's securities and derivatives portfolios may result in a decrease in
shareholders' equity and, to the extent that such an adjustment is not offset by reversals affecting the value of the Group's
liabilities, the Group's prudential capital ratios might also be lowered.

59
The fact that fair value adjustments are recorded over one financial period does not mean that additional adjustments will
not be required in later periods.
As of 30 June 2023, on the assets side of the balance sheet, financial instruments valued at fair value through profit or loss,
hedging derivative instruments and financial assets at market value through shareholders’ equity amounted to EUR 496
billion, EUR 31 billion and EUR 91 billion, respectively. On the liabilities side, financial instruments valued at fair value
through profit or loss and hedging derivative instruments amounted respectively to EUR 381 billion and EUR 44 billion on
30 June 2023.

4.1.4 LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING RISKS


4.1.4.2 The Group’s access to financing and the cost of this financing could be negatively affected in the
event of a resurgence of financial crises or deteriorating economic conditions.
In past crises (such as the 2008 financial crisis, the eurozone sovereign debt crisis, the tensions on the financial markets
linked to the Covid-19 pandemic before the intervention of the central banks, or more recently the tensions linked to the
crisis in Ukraine), access to financing from European banks was intermittently restricted or subject to less favorable
conditions.
If unfavorable debt market conditions were to reappear following a new systemic or Group-specific crisis, the effect on the
liquidity of the European financial sector in general and on the Group in particular could be very significantly unfavorable
and could have an adverse impact on the Group’s operating results as well as its financial position.
For several years, central banks have taken measures to facilitate financial institutions’ access to liquidity, in particular by
lowering interest rates to historical lows and by setting up TLTRO (Targeted Longer-Term Refinancing Operations) type
facilities and by implementing asset purchase policies to keep long-term interest rates at very low levels. In a context of
higher inflation, central banks (notably the ECB and the US Federal Reserve) have begun to phase out these
accommodating policies in particular with the end of the TLTRO mechanism and the first repayments thereof. In this
context, the Group could face an unfavorable evolution of its financing cost and access to liquidity.
In addition, if the Group were unable to maintain a satisfactory level of deposits from its customers, it could be forced to
resort to more expensive financing due to rising interest rates, which would reduce its net interest margin as well as its
results.
The Group’s regulatory short-term liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) stood at 152% at 30 June 2023 and liquidity reserves
amounted to EUR 284 billion at 30 June 2023.

4.1.5 EXTRA-FINANCIAL RISKS (INCLUDING OPERATIONAL RISKS) AND MODEL RISKS


At 30 June 2023, risk-weighted assets in relation to operational risk amounted to EUR 48.8 billion, or 13% of the Group’s
total RWA. These risk-weighted assets relate mainly to Global Markets & Investor Services (59% of total operational risk).
Between 2018 and 2022, the Group’s operational risks were primarily concentrated in five risk categories, representing
94% of the Group’s total operating losses observed over the period: fraud (mainly external frauds) and other criminal
activities (33%), execution errors (24%), disputes with authorities (15%), errors in pricing or risk assessment, including
model risk (13%) and commercial disputes (9%). The Group’s other categories of operational risk (unauthorised activities
in the markets, loss of operating resources and failure of information systems) remain minor, representing on average 6%
of the Group’s losses between 2018 and 2022.
See Chapter 4.10.3 “Operational risk measurement” of the 2023 Universal Registration Document for more information on
the allocation of operating losses.
4.1.5.5 Reputational damage could harm the Group’s competitive position, its activity and financial
condition.
An organisation benefits from a good reputation when its activities and services meet or exceed the expectations of its
stakeholders, both external (customers, investors, shareholders, regulators, supervisors, suppliers, opinion leaders such
as NGOs, etc.) and internal (employees).
The Group’s reputation for financial strength and integrity is critical to its ability to foster loyalty and develop its
relationships with clients and other counterparties in a highly competitive environment. Any reputational damage could
result in loss of activity with its customers or a loss of confidence on the part of its stakeholders, which could affect the
Group’s competitive position, its business and its financial condition.
Therefore, failure by the Bank to comply with the relevant regulations and to meet its commitments, especially those
relating to CSR, could damage the Group's reputation.

60
Failure to comply with the various internal rules and Codes 13, which aim to anchor the Group's values in terms of ethics
and responsibility, could also have an impact on the Group's image.
For more information about reputation risk please see section 4.11 “Compliance risk”, 4.1.4 “Liquidity and funding risks”,
and 4.1.5 “Extra-financial risks (including operational risks) and model risks” of the 2023 Universal Registration Document.
4.1.5.7 The models, in particular the Group’s internal models, used in strategic decision-making and in
risk management systems could fail, face delays in deployment or prove to be inadequate and result in
financial losses for the Group.
Internal models used within the Group could prove to be deficient in terms of their conception, calibration, use or
monitoring of performance over time in relation to operational risk and therefore could produce erroneous results, notably
with financial consequences. The faulty use of so-called artificial intelligence techniques in the conception of these models
could also generate erroneous results.
In particular:
▪ the valuation of certain financial instruments that are not traded on regulated markets or other trading platforms, such
as OTC derivative contracts between banks, uses internal models that incorporate unobservable parameters. The
unobservable nature of these parameters results in an additional degree of uncertainty as to the adequacy of the
valuation of the positions. In the event that the relevant internal models prove unsuitable for changing market
conditions, some of the instruments held by the Group could be misvalued and could generate losses for the Group. For
illustrative purposes, financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on the balance sheet categorised within
level 3 (for which the valuation is not based on observed data) represented EUR 14.7 billion and EUR 43.4 billion,
respectively, as of 31 December 2022 (see Note 3.4.1 and Note 3.4.2 of Chapter 6 of the consolidated financial statements
included in the 2023 Universal Registration Document on financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value);
▪ the assessment of client solvency and the Bank’s exposure to credit risk and counterparty risk is generally based on
historical assumptions and observations that may prove to be inappropriate in light of new economic conditions. It is
based on economic scenarios and projections that may not adequately anticipate unfavorable economic conditions or
the occurrence of unprecedented events. This miscalculation could, among other things, result in an under-valuation
and an under-provisioning of risks and an incorrect assessment of capital requirements;
▪ hedging strategies used in market activities rely on models that include assumptions about the changes of market
parameters and their correlation, partly inferred from historical data. These models could be inappropriate in certain
market environments (in the event of a large-scale armed conflict, strong movements in volatility resulting, for example,
from a pandemic, or tensions between the United States and China, in the Middle East or in Africa), leading to an
ineffective hedging strategy, thus causing unanticipated losses that could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s
results and financial position;
▪ hedging strategies to manage the interest-rate and liquidity risks of retail banking activities, particularly those in France,
use models that include behavioural assumptions. These models are partly based on historical observations the
purpose of which is to identify likely client behaviour as well as changes in the interest rate terms offered to customers
in relation to their banking products in specific interest rate scenarios. That said, they may be unsuitable for certain
specific or new market configurations (for example, sharp increases and decreases), in which movements in market rates
would not impact customer rates (Livret A/LDD, CSL, etc.) as anticipated by business lines, and would therefore
temporarily make the resulting hedging strategies inappropriate, thereby potentially harming bank revenues.
Assumptions about the impact of movements in market rates on customer rates are currently being revised following
the sharp rise in rates in 2022.
In addition, the Group has introduced changes to its internal credit risk model framework (dubbed the “Haussmann
project”), the first milestones of which have been reached. These changes could have a significant impact on the
calculation of its RWA credit and counterparty risk in the event of timetable delays when submitting its models to the
supervisor or in the event of the late validation by the supervisor.

4.1.6 RISK ON LONG-TERM LEASING ACTIVITIES


On the mobility market, due to the shortage of new car supply, demand for used vehicles has risen, pushing up resale
prices sharply. As a result, ALD has recorded a historically high result on used vehicle sales for the past year. Nonetheless,
ALD expects this exceptional situation to recede and the new car market to gradually normalise by the end of 2023. The
Group is exposed to a potential loss in a financial year from (i) resale of vehicles related to leases which expire during the
period whose resale value is lower than their net carrying amount and (ii) additional impairment during the lease period
if residual value drops below contractual residual value. Future sales and estimated losses are impacted by external factors

13
Internal Rules, “Code of Conduct”, ”Anti-corruption and Influence Peddling Code”, “Code of Tax Conduct” and, more generally, the
Group's standards.

61
such as macroeconomic conditions, government policies, tax and environmental regulations, consumer preferences, new

4.5 Structural interest rate risk
Update of the pages 247 to 249 of the 2023 Universal Registration Document
Structural interest rate risk is generated by commercial transactions and their hedging, as well as the management
operations specific to each of the consolidated entities.
The Group’s objective
The objective of managing structural interest rate risk is to manage exposure of each Group entity.
To this end, the Board of Directors, the Executive management, the Risk Department management and the Finance
Department management set sensitivity limits (in terms of value and income) for the Group, the BUs/SUs and the entities
respectively.
Measuring and monitoring structural interest rate risk
Societe Generale uses several indicators to measure the Group’s overall interest rate risk. The three most important
indicators are:
▪ the sensitivity of the net present value (NPV) to the risk of interest rate mismatch. It is measured as the sensitivity of the
net present value of the static balance sheet to a change in interest rates. This measure is calculated for all currencies to
which the Group is exposed;
▪ the sensitivity of the interest margin to changes in interest rates in various interest rate scenarios. It takes into account
the sensitivity generated by future commercial production;
▪ the sensitivity of NPV to basis risk (risk associated with decorrelation between different variable rate indices).
Limits on these indicators are applicable to the Group, the BUs/SUs and the various entities. Limits are set for shocks at
+/-0.1% and for stressed shocks (+/-1% for value sensitivity and +/-2% for income sensitivity) without floor application for
steering metrics. Only the sensitivity of income over the first two years is framed. The measurements are computed
monthly 10 months a year (with the exception of the months of January and July for which no Group-level closing is
acheved). An additional synthetic measurement of value sensitivity – all currencies – is framed for the Group. To comply
with these frameworks, the entities combine several possible approaches:
▪ strategic focus of the commercial policy so as to net interest rate positions taken on the asset and liability side;
▪ implementation of an interest rate swap operation or – failing this in the absence of such a market – use of a
loan/borrowing operation;
▪ purchase/sale of interest rate options on the market to cover optional positions taken vis-à-vis our clients.
Assets and liabilities are analysed without a prior allocation of resources to uses. Maturities of outstanding amounts are
determined by taking into account the contractual characteristics of the transactions, adjusted for the results of customer
behaviour modelling (in particular for demand deposits, savings and early loan repayments), possibly differentiated
according to the rate scenario considered, as well as a certain number of disposal agreements, in particular on equity
items.
As at 31 December 2022, the main models applicable for the calculation of interest rate risk measurements are models
(which are sometimes rate-dependent) on part of the deposits without a maturity date leading to an average duration of
less than 5 years.
The automatic balance sheet options are taken into account:
▪ either via the Bachelier formula or from Monte-Carlo type calculations for value sensitivity calculations; or
▪ by taking into account the pay-offs depending on the scenario considered in the income sensitivity calculations.
Changes in OCI or P&L of instruments recognised at fair value are not included in the framed interest income sensitivity
measures. These elements are managed through the Market Value Change metrics framed as of 2023.06.30.
Hedging transactions are mainly documented from an accounting viewpoint: this can be carried out either as micro-
hedging (individual hedging of commercial transactions and hedging instruments) or as macro-hedging under the IAS 39
“carve-out” arrangement (global backing of portfolios of similar commercial transactions within a Treasury Department;
macro-hedging concerns essentially French retail network entities).
Macro-hedging derivatives are essentially interest rate swaps in order to maintain networks’ net asset value and result
sensitivity within limit frameworks, considering hypotheses applied. For macro-hedging documentation, the hedged item
is an identified portion of a portfolio of commercial client or interbank operations. Conditions to respect in order to
document hedging relationships are reminded in Note 3.2 to the consolidated financial statements.

68
Macro-hedging derivatives are allocated to separate portfolios according to whether they are used to hedge fixed-rate
assets or liabilities in the accounting books. The hedging instrument portfolios allocated to liability elements are net fixed-
rate receiver/variable-rate payer whereas the hedging instrument portfolios allocated to asset elements are net fixed-rate
payer/variable-rate receiver.
In the context of the macro-hedging, the controls carried out and documented enable to verify that intra-group
transactions are returned to the market, to verify the non-over hedging and the non-disappearence of the items hedged
and the effectiveness of the hedges (MTM change in hedging instruments / MTM change in hedged items in the 80-125%
range).

2. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

1. INTRODUCTION

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The condensed half-yearly interim consolidated financial statements of the Societe Generale group (“the Group”) as at 30
June 2023 have been prepared and are presented in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS) “Interim
Financial Report”. The Group comprises the Societe Generale parent company (including the Societe Generale foreign
branches) and all of the entities, in France and abroad, under its direct or indirect control (subsidiaries and joint
arrangements) or on which it exercises significant influence (associates).
The notes annexed to the interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated statements of the financial year ending on 31 December 2022 as contained in the 2023 Universal Registration
Document. However, the assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of these half-yearly consolidated financial
statements have changed compared to those used for the previous yearly closing to take into account the uncertainties
regarding the consequences of the geopolitical crises and the macroeconomic context. Furthermore, as the Group’s
activities are neither seasonal nor cyclical in nature, its first half results were not affected by these factors.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRESENTATION


As the IFRS accounting framework does not specify a standard model, the format of the primary financial statements used
is consistent with the format proposed by the French Accounting Standard Setter, the Autorité des Normes Comptables
(ANC), under Recommendation No. 2022-01 of 8 April 2022.
The notes annexed to the interim consolidated financial statements describe the events and transactions that are
significant for understanding the changes in the situation and financial performance of the Group during the first half of
2023. The disclosures provided in these notes focus on information that is both relevant and material to the financial
statements of the Societe Generale group, its businesses, and the circumstances in which it conducted its operations
during this period.

PRESENTATION CURRENCY
The presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements is the euro.
The figures presented in the financial statements and in the notes are expressed in millions of euros, unless otherwise
specified. The effect of rounding may generate discrepancies between the figures presented in the financial statements
and those presented in the Notes.

82
2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS APPLIED BY THE GROUP AS OF 1 JANUARY 2023

Amendments to IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 - IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”

Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”

Amendments to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting Estimates”

Amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes - Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single
Transaction”

IFRS 17 “INSURANCE CONTRACTS” – AMENDMENTS TO IFRS 17 PUBLISHED AS AT 25 JUNE 2020 AND AMENDMENTS TO IFRS 17 AND
IFRS 9 PUBLISHED AS AT 9 DECEMBER 2021
The impacts of the first application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 by the insurance subsidiaries are presented in paragraph 4 below.

AMENDMENTS TO IAS 1 “DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES”


The aim of these amendments is to help companies improve the materiality of the information on accounting policies disclosed in the
Notes to the financial statements and the usefulness of that information to investors and financial statement users.
The Group takes into account these amendments for the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

AMENDMENTS TO IAS 8 “DEFINITION OF ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES”


The aim of these amendments is to facilitate distinguishing between changes in accounting methods and changes in accounting
estimates.
The Group takes into account these amendments for the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

AMENDMENTS TO IAS 12 “INCOME TAXES” - DEFERRED TAX RELATED TO ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ARISING FROM A SINGLE
TRANSACTION
These amendments clarify and narrow the scope of the exemption provided by the IAS 12 standard allowing institutions not to recognise
any deferred tax at the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. Are excluded from the exemption scope all leases and decommissioning
obligations for which companies recognise both an asset and a liability and will now have to recognise deferred taxes.
The aim of these amendments is to reduce heterogeneity in the recognition of the deferred taxes related to leases and to decommissioning
obligations.
Since the date of first application of IFRS 16, the Group has been considering the rights of use and the lease-related debt as a single
transaction. Consequently, on the initial recognition date, the amount of deferred tax asset offsets the amount of deferred tax liability.
The net temporary differences resulting from later variations in the right of use and lease debt subsequently result in the recognition of a
deferred tax. This amendment thus has no impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

83
3. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS OR INTERPRETATIONS TO BE APPLIED BY THE GROUP IN THE FUTURE

The IASB published accounting standards and amendments, some of which have not been adopted by the European Union as at 30 June
2023. Their application is required for the financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2024 at the earliest or on the date of their
adoption by the European Union. They have thus not been applied to the Group as at 30 June 2023.

The provisional timetable for the application of these standards is as follows:

•Amendments to IAS 12 "International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules"


2023

•Amendments to IFRS 16 "Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback"


2024

AMENDMENTS TO IAS 12 “INTERNATIONAL TAX REFORM - PILLAR TWO MODEL RULES”


Published by the IASB on 23 May 2023
These amendments introduce a mandatory and temporary exception to the recognition of the deferred taxes related to the
supplementary taxation arising from the OECD Pillar 2 rules. This exception is accompanied by specific disclosure requirements in the
annual accounts. However, it is not required to disclose this specific information in the 2023 interim accounts.
Subject to their adoption by the European Union expected by the end of the year, these amendments would apply retrospectively to fiscal
years beginning on or after 1 January 2023.
The Group is monitoring the approval of these amendments and has set up a project structure to identify impacts and comply with the
new accounting requirements of these amendments in relation to the OECD's “Pillar Two Model rules” international tax reform (see Note
6).

AMENDMENTS TO IFRS 16 “LEASE LIABILITY IN A SALE AND LEASEBACK”


Published by the IASB on 22 September 2022.
These amendments clarify the subsequent assessment of sale and leaseback transactions when the initial transfer of the property, plant
or equipment meets the criteria of IFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with customers” for recognition as a sale. These amendments specify
in particular how to subsequently assess the lease liability resulting from this sale and leaseback transactions, made of payments of
variable leases that do not depend on an index or a rate.
The impact of these amendments is currently being analysed.

84
4. INITIAL APPLICATION OF IFRS 17 “INSURANCE CONTRACTS” AND OF IFRS 9 “FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS” TO INSURANCE
SUBSIDIARIES

IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”, issued on 18 May 2017 and modified by the 25 June 2020 and 9 December 2021 Amendments, replaces
IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts” which allowed, in particular, insurance contracts to be recognised using methods set out by the local
accounting regulations.
On 23 November 2021, the European Commission (EC) published in the Official Journal, Commission Regulation (EU) 2021/2036 of 19
November 2021 adopting IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”. This adoption included the possibility for European companies not to apply the
requirement laid out in the standard to group some insurance contracts by annual cohort for their measurement; this exemption will be
reassessed by the European Commission by 31 December 2027 at the latest.
Since 1 January 2023, the Group has been applying IFRS17. On that same date, the Group’ insurance subsidiaries started applying IFRS 9
“Financial Instruments” for the first time; this application had been delayed as a result of the possibilities offered by the Amendments to
IFRS 17 and to IFRS 4 issued by the IASB on 25 June 2020 and extended by Regulations (EU) 2017/1988 and 2020/2097 of the European
Commission.
On 8 September 2022, the European Union adopted the amendments to IFRS 17 published by the IASB on 9 December 2021 with the aim
of improving the usefulness of the comparative information about financial assets presented on the initial application of IFRS 17 and IFRS
9.
The main consequences of the application of IFRS 17 concern:
the measurement of insurance contracts, materialised mainly as liabilities on the balance sheet: their value will be updated on each
closing date based on a re-estimate of the future cash flows related to their fulfilment. This re-estimate will take account, in particular,
of market data in relation to financial elements and the behaviour of policyholders;
the recognition of the margin: although the profitability of the insurance contracts remains unchanged, the pace of recognition of the
margin in the income statement is modified. Any expected profit is deferred in the balance sheet and spread in the income statement
over the coverage period of the insurance contracts. Conversely, any expected loss is immediately recognised in the income statement
upon its initial recognition or in subsequent measurements; and
the presentation of the income statement: the operating expenses attributable to the fulfilment of insurance contracts is hence presented
in reduction of the Net Banking Income as Insurance service expenses and thus does not impact the total operating expenses on the
consolidated income statement anymore.

TRANSITIONAL AND INITIAL APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS


IFRS 17 standard
The initial application of IFRS 17 on 1 January 2023 is retrospective and the comparative data of the 2022 financial year have been restated.
The differences in measurement of the insurance assets and liabilities resulting from the retrospective application of IFRS 17 as at
1 January 2022 are presented directly in equity.
The retrospective measurement of these assets and liabilities, and in particular of the different insurance contract portfolios, may be
subject to simplified alternate approaches when the necessary data are not all available. The standard then allows for the use of:
either a modified retrospective approach that provides, based on reasonable information available at no cost or undue effort,
measurements that are as close as possible to those that would result from the retrospective application of the standard;
or an approach based on the fair value of the insurance contracts portfolios as at 1 January 2022.

85
The Group has applied a modified retrospective approach for the savings life insurance contracts and savings retirement contracts which
represent the large majority of its contracts. Protection-Property and casualty contracts were subject to a full retrospective approach. For
Protection-Provident contracts a retrospective approach, either full or modified, has been applied on a case-by-case basis.
The measurement of the insurance contracts made on a current basis, taking into account the time value of money and the financial risks
related to future cash flows, required to adjust the measurement of some assets held to back the contracts in order to reduce the possible
accounting mismatches.
Since 1 January 2023, initial application date of IFRS 17, the Group is measuring at fair value the investment properties held by insurance
companies to back the insurance contracts issued. These are investment properties held as part of the management of insurance
contracts with direct participations features.
IFRS 17 requires to include in the measurement of the insurance contracts general operating expenses (personnel expenses, amortisation
expenses for fixed assets and other operating expenses) directly attributable to the fulfilment of contracts and to present them as
Insurance service expenses in the Net banking income.
The Group’s insurance subsidiaries systematically identify in the fulfilment cash flows of their contracts the amount of administrative
costs they expect to bear. These administrative costs are presented under Insurance service expenses in the Net banking income.
Consequently, the administrative costs presented by nature on the consolidated income statement are reduced by the amounts allocated
to the fulfilment of the insurance contracts.
Furthermore, the Group’s banking entities sell, through their retail networks, the insurance contracts issued by the Group’s insurance
subsidiaries and thus invoice fees to these entities. These fees cover the costs incurred by the banking entities plus a margin. As this
invoicing takes place between Group-controlled entities, the internal margin received by the banking entity and incurred by the insurance
entity is eliminated in the consolidated accounts. The administrative costs incurred by the banking entities for the distribution of contracts
are regarded as expenses directly attributable to the fulfilment of the contracts and are thus incorporated into the measurement of the
contracts and presented under the Insurance service expenses heading. The contractual service margin of the insurance contracts
distributed by the Group’s banking entities is thus determined by taking into account both the costs incurred by the distributing banking
entity (excl. internal margin) and the other directly attributable costs incurred by the insurance entity.

IFRS 9 standard
The initial application of IFRS 9 by the Group’s insurance subsidiaries as at 1 January 2023 is retrospective.
For the sake of consistency with the IFRS 17 transition arrangements, and in order to provide more relevant and useful information, the
Group has restated the comparative figures of the 2022 financial year related to the relevant financial instruments of its insurance
subsidiaries (including the financial instruments derecognised during the 2022 financial year in accordance with IFRS 17 amendment
which allows the presentation of comparative information concerning a financial asset as if IFRS 9 had previously been applied to that
asset).
Following the retrospective application of IFRS 9 as at 1 January 2022, the differences in measurement (including the impairment for
credit risk) of the financial assets and liabilities impacted are recognised directly in equity.

86
New presentation of the financial statements
On the balance sheet, the accounting outstanding amounts related to insurance contracts, previously booked under Other assets,
Insurance contracts related liabilities and Other liabilities are now presented under Insurance and reinsurance contracts assets and
Insurance and reinsurance contracts liabilities.
The accounting outstanding amounts related to the financial instruments and investments properties of insurance activities, previously
booked on the assets side under Investments of insurance companies and on the liabilities side under Insurance contracts related
liabilities, are now presented under the different headings of the balance sheet according to their classification and valuation technique.
In the consolidated income statement, in the Net banking income, the income and expenses related to the insurance contracts issued and
the reinsurance contracts were previously grouped under Net income from insurance activities. These income and expenses are now
measured and recognised according to IFRS 17, and presented in the Net banking income under the following headings:
Income from insurance contracts issued;
Insurance service expenses;
Income and expenses from reinsurance contracts held;
Net finance income or expenses from insurance contracts issued; and
Net finance income or expenses from reinsurance contracts held.
The incomes and expenses related to the financial instruments of insurance subsidiaries, previously presented under Net income from
insurance activities, are now presented under the consolidated income statement headings dedicated to the valuation of financial
instruments, with the exception of the expenses and incomes related to credit risk which are presented in the Net banking income under
Cost of credit risk of the financial assets related to insurance activities.
Furthermore, in the context of the application of IFRS 17, the Group has modified the presentation of the general operating expenses in
the consolidated income statement to improve the readability of the Group’s performance. The Other general operating expenses heading
now includes the amounts previously presented under Personnel expenses and Other operating expenses, from which are deducted the
general operating expenses related to insurance contracts that will henceforth be presented under the Insurance service expenses
heading in the Net banking income.

87
IMPACTS ON THE GROUP’S BALANCE SHEET AND PERFORMANCE
The following tables reconcile the balance sheet as at 31 December 2021, presented taking into account the application of IAS 39 and IFRS
4 by the insurance subsidiaries, and the balance sheet as at 1 January 2022, presented taking into account the application of IFRS 9 and
IFRS 17. The tables also include the balance sheet as at 31 December 2022 restated as a result of the application of IFRS 9 and IFRS 17.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RECLASSIFICATIONS MADE FOR THE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER INVESTMENT ASSETS AS AT 1
JANUARY 2022 (COLUMNS A, B, C, D AND I)

RECLASSIFICATION OF AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE FINANCIAL ASSETS (COLUMN A)


Applying IFRS 9 causes the disappearance of the Available-for-sale financial assets accounting category. Consequently, the instruments
previously included in this category have been reclassified under IFRS 9 accounting headings according to the characteristics of their
contractual cash flows and their business model.
The Available-for-sale assets of insurance companies included, as at 31 December 2021, debt securities (bonds and equivalent securities)
for EUR 74,084 million and equity securities (shares and equivalent securities) for EUR 14,402 million.
Basic debt securities (financial instruments, whose contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interests) were reclassified
as follows:
− debt securities held as part of a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows business
model were reclassified as Financial assets at amortised cost for EUR 4,975 million. These are mainly debt securities acquired for the
purpose of reinvesting the own funds of insurance subsidiaries;
− debt securities held as part of a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling
financial assets business model were reclassified as Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income for EUR 67,632
million. These debt securities are mainly acquired for the management of insurance contracts.
Non-basic debt securities and equity securities were reclassified into Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for EUR 15,879
million. These securities are held for the purpose of managing insurance contracts.

RECLASSIFICATION OF LOANS AND RECEIVABLES (COLUMNS B, C AND D)


Basic loans and receivables (financial instruments whose contractual cash flows are Solely Payments of Principal and Interests) were
reclassified as follows:
− loans and receivables held as part of a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows
business model were reclassified as Due from banks at amortised cost for EUR 1,232 million and as Customer loans at amortised cost
for EUR 69 million (column D);
− loans and receivables held as part of a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and
selling financial assets business model were reclassified as Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income for an
amount of EUR 1,454 million. These loans and receivables are Due from banks (column B).
Non-basic loans and receivables were reclassified as Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for EUR 2,085 million (column C).
Financial instruments reclassified as Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income or as Financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss are mainly bonds recognised at amortised cost following the amendment of IAS 39 in 2008. This amendment
provided, under certain conditions, the option to reclassify Available-for-sale Financial Assets into the Loans and Receivables category.

OTHER RECLASSIFICATIONS (COLUMNS D AND I)


In addition to the reclassifications described above, the purpose of the other reclassifications was to reallocate the remaining outstanding
amounts related to insurance activities under the accounting headings commonly used by the rest of the Group.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of the trading portfolio of insurance subsidiaries (EUR 211 million), Financial
instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss using the fair value option (EUR 84,448 million of which EUR 69,383 million of
non-basic financial instruments reclassified as Financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss), as well as an
asset resulting from an indexed co-insurance agreement, previously shown under Other assets (EUR 1,167 million), have been reclassified
as Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Hedging derivatives were reclassified into the corresponding heading for EUR 353 million.
Real estate investments were reclassified as Tangible and intangible fixed assets for EUR 538 million.
Financial liabilities of insurance companies were reclassified as Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss for an amount of
EUR 4,140 million. These include investments contracts (outside the scope of IFRS 17) and trading derivatives in the scope of IFRS 9.

92
DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOK VALUE ADJUSTMENTS MADE FOR THE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER INVESTMENTS ASSETS AS
AT 1 JANUARY 2022 (COLUMNS E AND J)
The Balance sheet value of the Investments of insurance companies whose valuation method was modified, was adjusted in equity as at
1 January 2022 for a total amount of EUR 509 million before tax effects. This amount includes:
− the revaluation at fair value of investment properties for an amount of EUR 356 million in application of IAS 40, in order to avoid an
accounting mismatch between the measurement method applied to the investment properties and the insurance contracts they are
backing;
− the adjustment of the book value of financial assets for a net amount of EUR 153 million as a result of their new measurement method
in application of IFRS 9. This amount includes the recognition of additional expected credit losses for EUR 1 million for the Securities
at amortised cost.
Gains and losses recognised directly in equity for Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income relating to credit risk
were reclassified at 1 January 2022 to retained earnings for an amount of EUR 19 million. This refers to the expected credit loss related to
the impairment of loans in Stage 1 or Stage 2.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DERECOGNITION OF IFRS 4 INSURANCE CONTRACTS AND THE RECOGNITION OF INSURANCE CONTRACTS
UNDER IFRS 17 AS AT 1 JANUARY 2022 (COLUMNS F, G, K AND L)
The adjustment of the book value of the insurance contracts assets and liabilities, resulting from the replacement of IFRS 4 (prudent
valuation) by IFRS 17 (economic valuation), was recorded as at 1 January 2022 in equity for a negative amount of EUR 402 million before
tax effects.

(5) The contractual service margin (CSM) represents the unearned profit that the entity will recognise in the income statement as the
insurance services are provided in the future.
(6) The non-financial risk adjustment corrects the present value of future cash flows in insurance contracts to reflect uncertainty about the
amount and timing of these flows.

MARGINAL TOTAL IMPACT ON THE TOTAL EQUITY AS AT 1 JANUARY 2022


As at the transition date (1 January 2022), the retrospective application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 by the Group’s insurance subsidiaries
resulted in a EUR 46 million increase in the Total consolidated equity.
This impact is broken down as follows: a decrease of EUR 402 million related to the transition from IFRS 4 to IFRS 17, an increase of EUR
509 million related to the transition to IFRS 9 and the revaluation of investment properties according to IAS 40, and a decrease of EUR 61
million related to the adjustment of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

POSITIVE TOTAL IMPACT ON THE TOTAL EQUITY AS AT 1 JANUARY 2023


The retrospective application of IFRS 9 and IFRS 17 by the Group’s insurance subsidiaries resulted in an adjustment of the comparative
data for the financial year 2022 for an amount of EUR -191 million on the consolidated net income and an amount of EUR 689 million on
the unrealised or deferred gains and losses recognised directly in equity.
As at the date of initial application (1 January 2023), the cumulative impact on the Total equity amounted to EUR 544 million.

The table below shows the Group’s consolidated income statement for 2022 as published in the last annual financial report and then the
restated income statement (2022 R) following the application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 by the Group’s insurance subsidiaries.

5. USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENT

With a view to the preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements, in application of the accounting principles and methods
described in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements, th General Management formulated assumptions and estimates that
may have an impact on the amounts recognised in the income statement or as Unrealised or deferred capital gains and losses, on the
valuation of balance sheet assets and liabilities and on the information shown in the related Notes.
In order to make these estimates and assumptions, the General Management uses the information available on the date of preparation of
the consolidated financial statements and may exercise its judgment. Valuations based on these estimates inherently involve risks and
uncertainties regarding their materialisation in the future; consequently, the future final outcome of the transactions concerned may
differ from these estimates and have a significant impact on the financial statements.
The assumptions and estimates made for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements take account of both the
uncertainties about the economic consequences of the geopolitical crises and the current macroeconomic context. The impact of these
circumstances on the assumptions and estimates selected is detailed in sub-section 6 of this Note.
Estimates apply in particular to the determination of the fair value of financial instruments, of the asset impairments and provisions
recognised as balance sheet liabilities, of the insurance contracts liabilities, as well as of the tax assets and liabilities on the balance sheet
and of the goodwill. They also apply to the analysis of the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of financial assets, the
determination of the effective interest rate of the financial instruments measured at amortised cost as well as to the assessment of control
for the determination of the scope of consolidated entities. The Group also uses estimates and judgment to determine the lease period to
be considered for the recognition of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, and to reassess the residual value of operating lease assets
(in particular the fleet of motor vehicles) and prospectively adjust their deprecation plans.

96
To assess the impairments and provisions for credit risk, the use of judgment and estimates concerns more specifically the assessment of
the deterioration in credit risk (also taking into account the aggravating circumstance of transition climate risk) observed since the initial
recognition of the financial assets and the measurement of the amount of expected credit losses on these financial assets.
Concerning the valuation of insurance contract assets and liabilities, the exercise of judgment and the use of estimates mainly concern
the valuation of future cash flows (premiums, claims, services, directly related costs), the level of adjustment for non-financial risks and
the pace of recognition in the income statement of the contractual service margin.

CLIMATE RISK
The Group continues its work to gradually integrate climate risk in the preparation of its consolidated accounts. Climate
change-related risks are not a new risk category but rather an aggravating factor for categories already covered by the Group’s
risk management system. In this regard, the impact of transitional risk on the credit risk of the corporate customers of
Societe Generale remains one of the Group’s primary climate risks.
As at 30 June 2023, the determination of the expected credit losses includes the possible impact of climate risks as considered when
assessing individual risks and sectoral risks, provided it is compatible with the provisioning horizon; and the impact of the Group’s
commitments in favour of energy and environmental transition and the development of the territories are still taken into account in the
estimated budgets used to determine the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units (CGU) and the recoverability of the deferred
tax assets.
In addition, the Group analyses the provisions of the draft ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards) prepared and subjected
to public consultation by the EFRAG (European Financial Reporting Advisory Group), in particular those relating to connectivity between
these future disclosure requirements and the consolidated financial statements.

6. GEOPOLITICAL CRISES AND MACROECONOMIC CONTEXT

The restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemics in Mainland China ended during the first quarter 2023 which renewed optimism about
economic activity for the year.
However, the conflict in Ukraine still causes great uncertainty heightened by tensions in the banking sector in the U.S.A. and in Europe.
Economic policies are clearly restrictive. Focusing on the containment of inflation, central banks tightened monetary policies, in particular
with rapid and significant increases in interest rates.
In the euro area:
the slowdown in economic activity observed during the first half of 2023 should continue during the rest of the year with a modest rebound
in 2024-2025;
inflation would remain high in 2023 to drop down to around 3% in 2024 and fall back to the target in the mid-term.
The monetary tightening imposed by the ECB should soften from the end of 2023 on.

In this context, the Group updated the macroeconomic scenarios chosen for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and
maintained some adjustments applied to its models (see Note 3.8).
These macroeconomic scenarios are taken into account in the credit loss measurement models including forward-looking data (see Note
3.8) and are also used in some goodwill impairment tests (see Note 2.2) and tests regarding deferred tax assets recovery (see Note 6).

97
6.1 Macroeconomic scenarios

As at 30 June 2023, the Group has selected three macroeconomic scenarios to help understand the uncertainties related to the current
macroeconomic context.
The assumptions selected to build these scenarios (which have not undergone any significant developments since 31 December 2022) are
described below:
the central scenario (“SG Central”) predicts a sharp economic slowdown in 2023, and only a modest rebound in growth in 2024. In 2023,
inflation will remain high, close to 5.5% before dropping down to around 3% in 2024 and returning to target in the mid-term. The ECB
will continue tightening its monetary policy in the short term; but a possible easing might start at the end of 2023. In particular in the
U.S.A, the central scenario forecasts further disinflation and a technical recession, with a credit crunch in the context of increased
Federal Reserve interest rates and banking tensions;
the favourable scenario (“SG Favourable”) describes an accelerated economic growth compared to the trajectory projected in the central
scenario; this growth may result from improved supply conditions owing to a positive shock on productivity or from unexpectedly
improved demand conditions. In both cases, stronger growth will have a positive impact on employment and/or the profitability of
companies;
the stressed scenario (“SG Stress”) corresponds to a crisis situation leading to a negative deviation in GDP compared to the central
scenario. This scenario may result from a financial crisis (2008 crisis, euro area crisis…), an exogenous crisis (Covid-19-like pandemic)
or a combination of both.

These scenarios are developed by the Economic and Sector Research Division of Societe Generale for all the entities of the Group based,
in particular, on the information published by the statistical institutes in each country. Forecasts from institutions (IMF, Global Bank, ECB,
OECD…) and the consensus among market economists serve as a reference to challenge the Group’s forecasts in order to ensure the
relevance and consistency of the thus-constructed scenarios.

6.2 Financial instruments: expected credit losses

The scenarios provided by the Group economists are incorporated into the credit loss provisioning models over a three-year horizon,
followed by a two-year period to gradually return by the fifth year to the average probability of default observed during the calibration
period.
The assumptions made by the Group with a view to developing these macroeconomic scenarios have been updated during the second
quarter 2023 to account for the uncertainties about the macroeconomic context and the economic consequences of the war in Ukraine.

VARIABLES
The GDP growth rate, the profit margin of companies in France, the unemployment rates, the inflation rate in France and the yield on
France ten-year government bonds are the main variables used in the expected credit losses measurement models.

98
The variables with the stronger impact on the determination of expected credit losses (GDP growth percentage for the major countries in
which the Group operates and corporate profit margin in France) for each scenario are detailed hereinafter:

“SG Favourable” scenario 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027

Czech Republic GDP (2.3) (2.0) (0.2) 1.1 2.1
Romania GDP 0.0 (1.2) 0.6 1.8 3.0

These simulations assume that the historical relationships between the key economic variables and the risk parameters remain
unchanged. In reality, these correlations may be impacted by geopolitical or climatic events, or changes in behaviour, legal environment
or credit granting policy.

WEIGHTING OF THE MACROECONOMIC SCENARIOS


The probabilities used are based on the differences observed over the past 25 years between the forecasts made by a consensus of
economists regarding the US GDP and the actual scenario that occurred (forecast similar to the actual scenario, significantly optimistic or
pessimistic).
In order to better account for a possible reversal in the cycle, the Group applies a methodology for weighting the scenarios and assigns a
higher weight to the SG Central scenario when the economy is depressed.
Conversely, the methodology provides for a higher weight to be assigned to the SG Stress scenario when the economy moves towards the
peak of the cycle. Accordingly, the weighting applied to the SG Central scenario is set at 62% as at 30 June 2023.

Presentation of the changes in weights:

30.06.2023 31.12.2022 30.06.2022


SG Central 62% 60% 60%
SG Stress 28% 30% 30%
SG Favourable 10% 10% 10%

CALCULATION OF EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS


Credit risk costs as at 30 June 2023 amount to a net expense of EUR 348 million, decreasing by EUR 430 million (-55%) compared to 30
June 2022 (EUR 1,647 million as at 31 December 2022).
Sensitivity tests have been performed to measure the impact of the changes in weights on the models. The sectoral adjustments have
been taken into account in these sensitivity tests. The scope of these tests includes the Stage 1 and Stage 2 outstanding loans subject to
a statistical modelling of the impacts of the macroeconomic variables (which accounts for 82% of the expected credit losses on the
outstanding loans concerned compared to 72% as at 31 December 2022).

100
The results of these tests, with no impact on the classification of the outstanding amounts concerned, show that, in the event of a 100%
weighting:
of the SG Stress scenario, the impact would be an additional allocation of EUR 652 million;
of the SG Favourable scenario, the impact would be a reversal of EUR 341 million;
of the SG Central scenario, the impact would be a reversal of EUR 224 million.

COVID-19 CRISIS: STATE GUARANTEED LOANS (PGE)


Until 30 June 2022, the Group offered to its crisis-impacted customers (professionals and corporate customers) the allocation of State
Guaranteed Loan facilities (PGE). Within the framework of the 2020 French Amending Finance Act and the conditions set by the French
decree of 23 March 2020, these are financings granted at cost price and guaranteed by the government for a share of the borrowed amount
between 70 to 90% depending on the size of the borrowing enterprise (with a waiting period of two months after disbursement at the end
of which the guarantee period begins).
With a maximum amount corresponding, in the general case, to three months of turnover before tax, these loans come with a one-year
repayment exemption. At the end of that year, the customer may either repay the loan or amortise it over one to five more years, with the
possibility of extending the grace period for the repayment of principal for one year (in line with the announcements made by the French
Ministre de l’Economie, des Finances et de la Relance on 14 January 2021) without extending the total duration of the loan.
The remuneration conditions of the guarantee are set by the State and are applicable by all French banking institutions: the Bank keeps
only a share of the guarantee premium paid by the borrower (the amount of which depends on the size of the Company and the maturity
of the loan) remunerating the risk it bears, which corresponds to the part of the loan not guaranteed by the State (i.e., between 10% and
30% of the loan depending on the size of the borrowing company).
The contractual characteristics of the PGE are those of basic loans (SPPI criterion) and these loans are held by the Group within the
framework of a business model whose objective is to collect their contractual cash flows until their maturity; as a result, these loans have
been recorded in the consolidated balance sheet under Customer loans at amortised cost.
As at 30 June 2023, the balance sheet outstanding amount of State Guaranteed Loans (PGE) granted by the Group is approximately EUR
10.6 billion after the first repayments made in 2022 and in the first half of 2023 at the end of the moratorium period (of which EUR 2.3
billion classified as Stage 2 and EUR 1 billion as Stage 3). The portion of PGE granted by the French Retail networks amounts, as at 30 June
2023, to EUR 9.3 billion (of which EUR 2 billion classified as Stage 2 and EUR 0.9 billion as Stage 3), without predominance of a specific
sector; the State guarantee for these loans covers, on average, 90% of their amount.
The expected credit losses recognised as at 30 June 2023 for PGE (French State Guaranteed Loans) amount to some EUR 250 million
including EUR 170 million booked by the French retail networks (including EUR 40 million in Stage 2 and EUR 100 million in Stage 3).
A French decree published on 19 January 2022, amending the decree published on 23 March 2020, allows some companies to benefit,
under certain conditions, from an extension of their PGE repayment
deadlines from six to ten years; these extensions have not had any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements as at 30 June
2023.

Exposures in Russia and Ukraine

On 11 April 2022, ALD announced that it would not engage in any new commercial transactions in Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus without
challenging the going concern status over the next twelve months of ALD AUTOMOTIVE OOO in Russia and ALD AUTOMOTIVE LLC in
Belarus, the two entities continuing to serve their clients and manage the existing vehicle fleet without encountering any specific
difficulties in relation to business activities.
On 27 April 2023, ALD announced the completion of the sale of its ALD AUTOMOTIVE OOO subsidiary in Russia.
As at 30 June 2023, the Group operates in Russia through its LeasePlan subsidiary (see onshore exposures on consolidated subsidiaries).
The Group also operates in Ukraine through its ALD AUTOMOTIVE UKRAINE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY subsidiary of which the total
balance sheet is EUR 76 million as at 30 June 2023.

Offshore exposures

The Group also holds assets on Russian counterparties. These outstanding loans (EUR 1.8 bn including the residual exposures on Rosbank
as at 30 June 2023, against EUR 2.1 bn including the residual exposures on Rosbank in 2022) have been classified as “sensitive” from the
very beginning of the conflict (see Note 3.8) and declassified to Stage 2 of impairment for credit risk or Stage 3 when necessary.
The consequences of these classifications, as well as the account taken of new macroeconomic scenarios to determine expected credit
losses as at 30 June 2023 are described in Note 3.8.
Furthermore, to take account of these specific risk exposures the Group supplemented the expected credit losses through a post-model
adjustment, as described in Note 3.8.

7. HYPERINFLATION IN TURKEY

On 16 March 2022, the International Practices Task Force of the Centre for Audit Quality, a standard reference for identifying countries
with hyperinflation, published a working paper including Turkey in the list of hyperinflationary economies.
Consequently, since 1 January 2022, the Group has been applying the provisions of IAS 29 (“Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary
Economies”) to prepare the separate financial statements presented in turkish pound of the entities of the ALD group located in Turkey
(before their conversion in euros as part of the consolidation process). However, the accounts of the SG Istanbul branch have not been
restated, their impact being non-material.
This also applies to the LEASEPLAN OTOMOTIV SERVIS VE TICARET A.S Turkish subsidiary purchased during the first half of 2023. The
information below does not include the impact of the restatements made for this entity, as they are not material at Group level as at 30
June 2023.
In accordance with IAS 29, the accounting value of some balance sheet items measured at cost is adjusted, at closing date, for the inflation
effects observed over the period. In the financial statements of the entities concerned, these adjustments are mainly applied to the
tangible assets representative of the vehicle fleet, as well as to the different components of equity.
The inflation adjustments of the assets concerned and of the equity items as well as of the income and expenses for the period, are
recognised as income or expenses on foreign exchange transactions under Net gains and losses on financial transactions.
Thus restated, the financial statements in Turkish lira of ALD Turkey are converted into euro on the basis of the exchange rate applicable
at closing date.
As at 30 June 2023, a gain of EUR 21.4 million has been recognised under Net gains and losses on financial transactions for the inflation
adjustments of the period. After tax and adjustment of the other income and expenses items of the period, the effect of hyperinflation
adjustments on the net consolidated income amounts to EUR 7.2 million.

NOTE 2 - CONSOLIDATION

NOTE 2.1 - CONSOLIDATION SCOPE

The consolidation scope includes subsidiaries and structured entities under the Group’s exclusive control, joint arrangements (joint
ventures and joint operations) and associates whose financial statements are significant relative to the Group’s consolidated financial
statements, notably regarding Group consolidated total assets and gross operating income.
The main change to the consolidation scope as at 30 June 2023, compared with the scope applicable at the closing date of 31 December
2022, is as follow:

LEASEPLAN ACQUISTION BY ALD


On 22 May 2023, following the approval of ALD’s Board of Directors and relevant regulatory authorities’ approvals, ALD acquired 100% of
LeasePlan for a consideration of EUR 4,882 million. This amount is subject to a contingent additional consideration of an amount up to
EUR 235 million in cash, according to the achievements of objectives related to LeasePlan’s regulatory ratios particularly.
The consideration includes:

A cash component: EUR 1,828 million mainly financed via a capital increase of EUR 1,212 million in 2022. Societe Generale held 79.82% of
ALD’s capital prior to this increase. In accordance with its commitment to remain ALD’s majority shareholder in the long term, Societe
Generale subscribed to new shares for an amount of EUR 803 million representing 66.26% of the capital increase and held, at the end of
2022, 75.94% of ALD;
A share component: 251,215,332 new ALD shares have been issued, representing 30.75% of ALD capital after the completion of the
acquisition, and before the exercise of the attached warrants. The value of this share component amounts to EUR 2,871 million, based on
the fair value of ALD's shares of EUR 11.43 at the completion date;
A warrant component: ALD has issued 26,310,039 warrants attached to ALD’s share for the benefit of LeasePlan’s selling shareholders, so
that their total shareholding could reach 32.91% in case of full exercise of warrants.Their main characteristics are as follows: exercise price
of EUR 2.00 per share; parity of 1 warrant for 1 share; and exercisable 1 to 3 years after their issuance, if the ALD share price reaches EUR
14.07 per share in the exercise period. The fair value of these warrants’ amounts, as at 22 May 2023, EUR 128 million. This value was
determined based on a Black & Scholes mathematical valuation model, taking as main assumptions the exercise possible at any time
between 1 and 3 years; a euro area risk-free interest rate and an assumed historical volatility of the observed ALD share of around 30%;
A contingent consideration: estimated by the Group at its fair value of EUR 55 million, as at the closing date of the transaction. The
earn-out mechanism will last until 31 December 2024, subject to an additional 6-month period in certain limited circumstances, with
potential payments every quarter. In the Group’s financial statements, the contingent consideration is recorded as Other liabilities as at
30 June 2023.

As a result, after the completion of the LeasePlan acquisition, Societe Generale remains the majority shareholder of ALD with a stake of
52.59%. This stake may be reduced to 50.95% in the event of the exercise of the shares with warrants attached that have been granted to
LeasePlan shareholders to allow them to increase their stake up to 32.91% of ALD’s social capital. As of 30 June 2023, the former LeasePlan
shareholders consortium led by TDR Capital holds 30.75% of the combined entity, while the free float represents 16.6%.

104
Following the completion of the whole transaction, ALD group (combined entity), remains fully consolidated by the Group.
Details of the purchase price are set out in the table below:

(1) o/w 26,310,039 shares with warrants attached.

Due to the short timeline between LeasePlan’s acquisition closing and publishing of interim financial statements, the Group has
recognised the identifiable assets and liabilities at their carrying amounts in LeasePlan’s IFRS consolidated accounts. The Group has 12
months to finalise the acquisition accounting and the recognition of the identifiable assets and liabilities of LeasePlan at their fair value.
As at 30 June 2023, the Group has recognised a provisional goodwill of EUR 1,744 million (see Note 2.2).

The combined entity will be well-positioned to deliver profitable growth drawing on a fleet of around 3.4 million vehicles (this figure
excludes vehicles from entities classified in non-current assets held for sale), including worldwide biggest multi-brand electric vehicle
fleet, and a direct presence in 44 countries covering all customers categories. Thanks to multiple strengths like complementarities and
scale effects, the combined entity targets to achieve strong synergies regarding costs and supplies.
ALD and LeasePlan serve the same three client segments (large corporates, SMEs, individual consumers), but each of them has specific
areas of leadership. LeasePlan has a network of large and very large blue‑chip international and national corporate clients and has been
particularly strong in this segment in which a customer overlap with ALD is limited. ALD has developed a strong network of partnerships
with more than 200 partners across a large spectrum of sectors. It allowed the Company to rapidly develop its presence in the SME and
individual consumers segments. This complementarity must offer to the combined entity the best footprint across all segments.
ALD benefits a financing structure and strong credit ratings facilitating efficient access to external funding. LeasePlan relies on its deposit
collection platforms in Germany and the Netherlands. The combined entity would therefore have an enlarged funding source base.
The consolidated income of the Group includes the income of LeasePlan’s activities from 22 May 2023. As at 30 June 2023, the contribution
of LeasePlan’s activities amounts to EUR 207 million in net banking income and EUR 65 million in consolidated net income, of which EUR
32 million net income Group share.
On 22 March 2023, the Group announced that ALD entered into a share agreement to sell its subsidiaries in Ireland, Portugal and Norway,
as well as LeasePlan’s subsidiaries in Luxembourg, Finland and Czech Republic. These disposals have been initiated to fulfil the
commitments made by ALD in the context of the clearance by the European Commission of the acquisition of LeasePlan by ALD, to address
concentration risk in the involved countries. As at 30 June 2023, the Group has classified these entities as Non-current assets held for sale
and related debt (see Note 2.3).

107
IMPAIRMENT TEST OF CGU
Goodwill is subject to an impairment test as soon as there is any indication of impairment and at least once a year. The change in the
macroeconomic scenario alone is not an indication of impairment, however, its consequences on the Group's results and financial
projections justify the performance of tests on all CGUs as part of the preparation of the half-yearly financial statements as at 30 June
2023.
A CGU is defined as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows, which are largely independent of the cash inflows
from the Group’s other assets or groups of assets. Impairment tests consist into assessing the recoverable value of each CGU and
comparing it with its carrying value. An irreversible impairment loss is recorded in the income statement if the carrying value of a CGU,
including goodwill, exceeds its recoverable value. This loss is booked under value adjustment on Goodwill.
The recoverable amount of a CGU is calculated using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method applied to the entire CGU.
The key principles retained for the implementation of the tests as at 30 June 2023 for the assessment of the recoverable value of CGUs are
as follows:
The budget trajectories of the CGUs have been revised in June 2023 on the basis of the SG Central scenario established by the Group's
economists and whose underlying assumptions are presented in Note 1.
For each CGU, estimates of future distributable dividends are determined over a five-year period, on the basis of a four-year budget
trajectory (from 2023 to 2026) extrapolated to 2027, the latter year being used to calculate the terminal value.
These estimates take into account the equity target allocated to each CGU, unchanged compared to 31 December 2022 (11% of the
risk-weighted assets of each CGU).
The growth rates used to calculate the terminal value are determined using forecasts on sustainable long-term economic growth and
inflation. These rates are estimated using two main sources, namely the International Monetary Fund and the economic analyses
produced by SG Cross Asset Research which provides 2027 forecasts.
The projected dividends are then discounted on the basis of a rate equal to the risk-free rate grossed up by a risk premium based on
the CGU’s underlying activities. This risk premium, specific to each activity, is calculated from a series of equity risk premiums
published by SG Cross Asset Research and from its specific estimated volatility (beta). Where appropriate, the risk-free rate is also
grossed up by a sovereign risk premium, representing the difference between the risk-free rate available in the area of monetary
assignment (mainly US dollar area or euro area) and the interest rate observed on liquid long-term treasury bonds issued (mainly US
dollar area or euro area), in proportion with risk-weighted assets for CGUs covering several countries.

108
The table below presents discount rates and long-term growth rates specific to the CGUs of the Group’s three core businesses:

their purpose, are measured at fair value through profit or loss and cannot be qualified as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.
Accordingly, they are recognised at fair value among trading derivatives.

2. HEDGING DERIVATIVES

According to the transitional provisions of IFRS 9, the Group made the choice to maintain the IAS 39 provisions related to
hedge accounting. Consequently, equity instruments held (shares and other equity securities) do not qualify for hedge
accounting regardless of their accounting category.

The Group sets up hedging relationships recognised for accounting purposes as fair value hedges in order to protect its fixed-rate financial
assets and liabilities (primarily loans / borrowings, securities issued and fixed-rate securities) against changes in long-term interest rates.
The hedging instruments used mainly consist of interest rate swaps.
Furthermore, through some of its Corporate and Investment Banking operations, the Group is exposed to future cash flow changes in its
short and medium-term funding requirements and sets up hedging relationships recognised for accounting purposes as cash flow hedges.
Highly probable funding requirements are determined using historic data established for each activity and representative of balance sheet
outstanding. These data may be increased or decreased by changes in management methods.
Finally, as part of their management of structural interest rate and exchange rate risks, the Group’s entities set up fair value hedge for
portfolios of assets or liabilities for interest rate risk as well as cash flow hedge and net investment hedge for foreign exchange risk.
For the first half-year 2023, the revaluation differences on macro-hedged fixed-rate assets portfolios and fixed-rate liabilities portfolios
remain negative as a result of the interest rate raise. On the asset side of the balance sheet, the revaluation difference on assets portfolios
hedged against interest rate risk amounts to EUR -1,925 million as at 30 June 2023 (compared to EUR -2,262 million as at
31 December 2022); and on the liabilities side, the revaluation differences on liabilities portfolios hedged against interest rate risk
amounts to EUR -8,367 million as at 30 June 2023 (against EUR -9,659 million as at 31 December 2022).

4. VALUATION METHODS OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CARRIED AT FAIR VALUE ON THE BALANCE SHEET

For financial instruments recognised at fair value on the balance sheet, fair value is determined primarily on the basis of the prices quoted
in an active market. These prices may be adjusted, if they are not available at the balance sheet date in order to incorporate the events
that have an impact on prices and occurred after the closing of the stock markets but before the measurement date or in the event of an
inactive market.
However, due notably to the varied characteristics of financial instruments traded over-the-counter on the financial markets, a large
number of financial products traded by the Group does not have quoted prices in the markets.
For these products, fair value is determined using models based on valuation techniques commonly used by market participants to
measure financial instruments, such as discounted future cash flows for swaps or the Black & Scholes formula for certain options and
using valuation parameters that reflect current market conditions at the balance sheet date. These valuation models are validated
independently by the experts from the Market Risk Department of the Group’s Risk Division.
Furthermore, the inputs used in the valuation models, whether derived from observable market data or not, are checked by the Finance
Division of Market Activities, in accordance with the methodologies defined by the Market Risk Department.
If necessary, these valuations are supplemented by additional reserves (such as bid-ask spreads and liquidity) determined reasonably and
appropriately after an analysis of available information.
Derivatives and security financing transactions are subject to a Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) or Debt Valuation Adjustment (DVA).
The Group includes all clients and clearing houses in this adjustment, which also reflects the netting agreements existing for each
counterparty.
The CVA is determined based on the Group entity’s expected positive exposure to the counterparty, the counterparty’s probability of
default and the amount of the loss given default. The DVA is determined symmetrically based on the negative expected exposure. These
calculations are carried out over the life of the potential exposure, with a focus on the use of relevant and observable market data. Since
2021, a system has been in place to identify the new transactions for which CVA/DVA adjustments are significant. These transactions are
then classified in Level 3.
Similarly, an adjustment to take into account the costs or profits linked to the financing of these transactions (FVA, Funding Value
Adjustment) is also performed.
Observable data must be: independent, available, publicly distributed, based on a narrow consensus and/or backed up by transaction
prices.
For example, consensus data provided by external counterparties are considered observable if the underlying market is liquid and if the
prices provided are confirmed by actual transactions. For long maturities, these consensus data are not observable. This is the case for
the implied volatility used for the valuation of equity options with maturities of more than five years. However, when the residual maturity
of the instrument falls below five years, its fair value becomes sensitive to observable inputs.
In the event of unusual tensions on the markets, leading to a lack of the usual reference data used to measure a financial instrument, the
Risk Division may implement a new model in accordance with pertinent available data, similar to methods used by other market players.

126
SHARES AND OTHER EQUITY SECURITIES
For listed shares, fair value is taken to be the quoted price on the balance sheet date.
The significant unlisted securities and the significant securities listed on an illiquid market will be valued primarily by using a developed
valuation method: Discounted Cash Flows (DCF) or Discounted Dividend Model (DDM) and/or Market multiples.

For non-significant unlisted shares, fair value is determined depending on the type of financial instrument and according to one of the
following methods:
proportion of net asset value held;
valuation based on a recent transaction involving the issuing company (third party buying into the issuing company’s capital, appraisal
by a professional valuation agent, etc.);
valuation based on a recent transaction in the same sector as the issuing company (income multiple, asset multiple, etc.).

DEBT INSTRUMENTS HELD IN PORTFOLIO, ISSUES OF STRUCTURED SECURITIES MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE AND FINANCIAL
DERIVATIVES INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of these financial instruments is determined based on the quoted price on the balance sheet date or prices provided by
brokers on the same date, when available. For unlisted financial instruments, fair value is determined using valuation techniques.
Concerning liabilities measured at fair value, the on-balance sheet amounts include changes in the Group’s issuer credit risk.

OTHER DEBTS
For listed financial instruments, fair value is taken as their closing quoted price on the balance sheet date. For unlisted financial
instruments, fair value is determined by discounting future cash flows to present value at market rates (including counterparty risks, non-
performance and liquidity risks).

CUSTOMER LOANS
The fair value of loans and receivables is calculated, in the absence of an actively traded market for these loans, by discounting the
expected cash flows to present value at a discount rate based on interest rates prevailing on the market at the reporting date for Ioans
with broadly similar terms and maturities. These discount rates are adjusted for borrower credit risk.

6. SENSITIVITY OF FAIR VALUE FOR LEVEL 3 INSTRUMENTS

Unobservable inputs are assessed carefully, particularly in this persistently uncertain economic environment and market. However, by
their very nature, unobservable inputs inject a degree of uncertainty into the valuation of Level 3 instruments.
To quantify this, fair value sensitivity was estimated at 30 June 2023 on instruments whose valuation requires certain unobservable inputs.
This estimate was based either on a “standardised” variation in unobservable inputs, calculated for each input on a net position, or on
assumptions in line with the additional valuation adjustment policies for the financial instruments in question.
The “standardised” variation corresponds to the standard deviation of consensus prices (TOTEM, etc.) used to measure an input
nevertheless considered as unobservable. In cases of unavailability of these data, the standard deviation of historical data is then used to
assess the input.

It should be noted that, given the already conservative valuation levels, this sensitivity is higher for a favourable impact on results than
for an unfavourable impact. Moreover, the amounts shown above illustrate the uncertainty of the valuation as at the computation date
based on a “standardised” variation in inputs. Future variations in fair value cannot be deduced or forecasted from these estimates.

131
7. DEFERRED MARGIN RELATED TO MAIN UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS

At initial recognition, financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value, that is to say the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
When this fair value differs from transaction price and the instrument’s valuation technique uses one or more unobservable inputs, this
difference representative of a commercial margin is deferred in time to be recorded in the income statement, from case to case, at
maturity of the instrument, at the time of sell or transfer, over time, or when the inputs become observable.
The table below shows the amount remaining to be recognised in the income statement due to this difference, less any amounts recorded
in the income statement after initial recognition of the instrument.

(1) Including term-deposits linked to governments and central administrations, and in particular long-term refinancing operations set up
by the ECB (Targeted Longer-Term Refinancing Operations – TLTRO).

TLTRO
The European Central Bank (ECB) launched in 2019 a third series of Targeted Longer-Term Refinancing Operations (TLTRO) with the aim
of maintaining favourable credit conditions in the euro area. As in the two previous systems, the level of remuneration of the borrowings
depends on the performance of the borrowing banking institutions in terms of loans granted to their household customers (excluding real
estate loans) and business customers (excluding financial institutions); depending on these performances, the borrowing institutions may
benefit from a reduced interest rate and an additional temporary bonus applicable from 24 June 2020 to 23 June 2021 (reduction by 50
basis points of the average rate of the deposit facility with a floor rate set at -1%). These TLTRO III operations are conducted on a quarterly
basis between September 2019 and December 2021, for a possible total of 10 drawdowns. Each such operation has a three-year maturity
and includes an early repayment option. Some terms and conditions were modified in March 2020, in particular the loan production
objectives, rate conditions and drawdown limit, in order to further support the granting of loans at the outset of the Covid-19 crisis.
In January 2021, the ECB decided to extend the temporary additional bonus over the period from 24 June 2021 to 23 June 2022 subject to
performance in terms of number of granted loans observed over a new reference period from 1 October 2020 to 31 December 2021.
The Group subscribed to TLTRO III loans through quarterly drawdowns staggered between December 2019 and December 2021. The
residual amount of TLTRO borrowings on the liabilities side of the balance sheet is EUR 33 billion as at 30 June 2023, following the early
repayments made in the first semester of 2023 for an amount of EUR 19 billion.
As at 31 December 2021, the Group had already reached its objective of stability of the loans outstanding required to benefit from the
reduced interest rate as well as from two additional temporary bonuses applied from 24 June 2020 to 23 June 2021 and from 24 June 2021
to 23 June 2022. The additional bonuses have been qualified for accounting purposes as grants under IAS 20 and the loans as adjustable-
rate liabilities under IFRS 9.
On 27 October 2022, the ECB changed the methods for calculating the interest rate relating to the last period of TLTRO III. The effect of
these changes resulted in an adjustment of the effective interest rate applied between 23 June 2022 to 22 November 2022 and the
implementation of new calculation method from 23 November 2022.
In the first half of 2023, the total amount of interest and subsidies on TLTRO loans is a net expense of EUR 0.6 billion (EUR 0.2 billion
recorded as Interest and similar income in the first half of 2022); this amount includes the immediate registration of bonuses not yet
recognised on the early repaid loans.

These interest expenses include the refinancing cost of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, the results of which are
classified in net gains or losses on these instruments (see Note 3.1). Given that income and expenses booked in the income statement are
classified by type of instrument rather than by purpose, the net income generated by activities in financial instruments at fair value
through profit or loss must be assessed as a whole.

NOTE 3.8 - IMPAIRMENT AND PROVISIONS

METHOD FOR ESTIMATING EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES


The method for calculating the impairment and provisions for expected credit losses in Stage 1 and Stage 2 was developed in the Basel
framework which served as a basis for selecting the methods for evaluating the calculation parameters (probability of default and credit
loss rate for the amounts outstanding under an advanced Basel approach - IRBA and IRBF - and provisioning rate for the amounts
outstanding under the standardised Basel approach).
The Group’s portfolios have been segmented in order to ensure homogeneousness of the risk characteristics and a better correlation with
the macroeconomic variables, both worldwide and local. This segmentation allows for all the Group’s specificities to be processed. It is
consistent with or similar to the one specified in the Basel framework in order to ensure the uniqueness of the historical records of defaults
and losses.
The measurement of expected credit losses is performed based on the parameters mentioned below, supplemented with the internal
analyses relating to the credit quality of each counterparty, individually or statistically.

GEOPOLITICAL CRISES AND MACROECONOMIC CONTEXT


For the first half-year, the Group revised the parameters used in the models based on the updated macroeconomic scenarios which take
account of the recent economic developments and macroeconomic impacts related to the war in Ukraine (see Note 1).
To account for the uncertainties related to the war in Ukraine and the macroeconomic context, the Group updated, as at 30 June 2023,
the model and post-model adjustments as described in the 2023 Universal Registration Document.
The effects of the model and post-model adjustments in the determination of expected credit losses are described hereinafter.

UPDATE OF THE MODELS AND IMPACT ON THE ESTIMATION OF EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES

As at 30 June 2023, the updates of macroeconomic variables and probabilities of default and of the weighting of the scenarios have
resulted in a EUR 64 million decrease in the amount of impairment and provisions for credit risk (EUR 10 million decrease for the 2022
financial year).
The impact of the revision of the macroeconomic variables and probabilities of default is a EUR 49 million decrease, the impact of the
update of the weighting of the macroeconomic scenarios described in Note 1 is a EUR 15 million decrease.

Furthermore, owing to the geopolitical context related to the war in Ukraine, all our Russian counterparties including residual exposures
on Rosbank (EUR 2.1 billion as at 31 December 2022) have been classified as “sensitive” (concept of watch list) from the beginning of the
conflict and the associated outstanding loans have been transferred to Stage 2 as at 30 June 2023, they amount to EUR 1.8 billion including
the Rosbank residual exposures. Further analysis has resulted in the identification amidst this population of the outstanding loans that
have to be transferred to Stage 3, from the beginning of the war in Ukraine (EUR 0.6 billion including 0.1 billion for the first half of 2023).
The impact of these transfers on the calculation of expected credit loses amounts to EUR 394 million as at 30 June 2023 (including the
additional adjustment detailed in the “Other adjustments” sub-section).

Adjustments supplementing the application of the models

Sectoral adjustments
The Group may supplement the models with two types of sectoral adjustments: the first one relates to the possible revision of the estimate
of expected credit losses (with no impact on the classification of the outstanding exposures) of some sectors; the second, put in place
since 2020 in relation to the Covid-19 crisis and applicable only to certain outstandings, supplements the analysis of the increase in credit
risk and may result in additional transfers to Stage 2.

Specific criterion: estimation of expected credit losses


The different estimation models of expected credit losses may be supplemented with sectoral adjustments that will increase or decrease
the amount of expected credit losses. These adjustments enable us to better anticipate the default/recovery cycle in some sectors with a

139
cyclical business which have been subject to peaks of default in the past or which are most exposed to the current crises and on which the
Group’s exposure exceeds a threshold that is annually reviewed and set by the Risk Division.
These sectoral adjustments are examined and updated quarterly by the Risk Division and validated according to materiality thresholds
by the General Management.
The major sectors concerned as at 30 June 2023 are commercial real-estate, non-food retail, hotels, restaurants, leisure, oil and gas, cruise
operators and airlines, and construction (which was also concerned as at 31 December 2022 to a lesser extent).
The total sectoral adjustments thus amount to EUR 781 million as at 30 June 2023 (EUR 741 million as at 31 December 2022). This increase
is mainly due to an increase in the commercial real-estate and non-food retail sectors, the future circumstances of which are deteriorating
owing to multiple factors, such as the difficult situation on the real estate market, the effects of inflation and the changes in purchasing
behaviours. These increases are partly offset by a decrease in the oil and gas sector.
The specific adjustments implemented in 2022 to take account of the impact of raw materials/commodities/energy supply issues as a
result of the war in Ukraine and of the impact of a lasting stagflation on the most exposed sectors have been maintained in 2023.
Additional criterion for transfer to Stage 2
Since 2020 and the start of the Covid-19 crisis, in addition to the transfer criteria for transfer as under-performing assets to Stage 2, applied
at an individual level, further analysis based on expert opinion has been carried out at the level of the outstanding portfolios existing at
the end of that year 2020 and for which the increase in credit risk since granting was considered significant. The subsequent productions
are not concerned by these measures. This analysis performed half-yearly, in accordance with the governance set up during the Covid-19
crisis, resulted in additional transfers to underperforming loans classified as Stage 2 using a collective approach for all the loans of the
sectors regarded by the Group as being most impacted by the Covid-19 crisis and granted before the crisis. As at 30 June 2023, the only
sector still concerned is the Shipbuilding, aircraft and rail construction sector. For the loans concerned, in addition to these transfers to
Stage 2, the provision estimate is made taking account of the sectoral adjustments (described above) that should have been applied.
This adjustment amounts to EUR 3 million as at 30 June 2023 (EUR 17 million as at 31 December 2022).
Other adjustments
Adjustments based on expert opinion have also been made to reflect the deterioration in credit risk on some portfolios when this
deterioration has not been observed through a line-by-line analysis of the outstanding stock:
for the scope of entities that have not developed models enabling them to estimate the correlations between macroeconomic variables
and default rate; and
for the scopes on which models have been developed but cannot reflect future risks not observed in the past.
These adjustments amount to EUR 731 million as at 30 June 2023 (EUR 796 million as at 31 December 2022). This change results from the
account taken of:
the specific risk on the portfolio of offshore loans to Russian corporate customers resulting from the geopolitical situation;
the risks arising from the specific economic context, such as the higher inflation and interest rates, regarding fragile customers and the
most exposed portfolios, as such risks are not taken into account in the models.

1. OVERVIEW
In accordance with the application of IFRS 9 “Financial instruments” by the insurance subsidiaries (see Note 1), the impairments and
provisions of these subsidiaries are included in the tables below.
Since 2022, the measurement adopted is the accounting outstanding amounts (Balance Sheet and Off-Balance Sheet). For the sake of

In order to disclose its exposure to credit risk, the Group has decided to tabulate its assets outstanding and impairment by stage of
impairment of the financial assets at amortised cost by Basel category, by geographical area, and by rating of the counterparty. Due to
the absence of significant exposure to credit risk for insurance activities, assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive
income as well as for financing and guarantee commitments, this information is not presented below.

GROUP ASSETS AT AMORTISED COST WITHOUT INSURANCE ACTIVITIES: SUBJECT TO IMPAIRMENT AND PROVISIONS BY RATING OF
COUNTERPARTY (1)
Classification in Stage 1 or Stage 2 does not depend on the absolute probability of default but on the elements that make it possible to
assess the significant increase in credit risk, including the relative change in the probability of default since initial recognition. Therefore,
there is no direct relationship between the counterparty rating, presented in the table below, and the classification by stage of
impairment.

4. QUALITATIVE INFORMATION OF CHANGES IN IMPAIRMENT/PROVISIONS ON CREDIT RISK

The variation in credit risk impairment and provisions since 31 December 2022 is mainly linked to:

Covered losses on Stage 3 loans (EUR 387 million) included in the line derecognition.
This is in line with the Group strategy for monitoring non-performing loans (NPL), which leads to write-offs and sales of defaulted
exposures.
Uncovered losses amount to EUR 90 million.

Transfer of loans to Stage 3 due to default for EUR 2.6 billion of outstanding amounts. This transfer resulted in an increase in impairment
and provisions of EUR 394 million.
Particularly, this variation concerns:
EUR 1.1 billion of outstanding amounts for which the impairment and provisions amount to EUR 232 million as at 30 June 2023. These
contracts were in Stage 1 as at 31 December 2022;
EUR 1.5 billion of outstanding amounts for which the impairment and provisions amount to EUR 162 million as at 30 June 2023. These
contracts were in Stage 2 as at 31 December 2022.

Transfer of loans to Stage 2 due to downgraded ratings, transfer to “sensitive” or 30 days overdue for EUR 10.5 billion. This transfer
resulted in an increase in impairment and provisions of EUR 351 million.

The acquisition of LeasePlan resulted an increase in impairment and provisions of EUR 39 million, included in the line Scope effect.

IFRS 5 entities classified as held for sale during the first semester 2023. This classification resulted a decrease in impairment and provisions
of EUR 290 million, included in the line Scope effect.

In a context of rising interest rates, financial assets, unlike financial liabilities, have a fair value significantly lower than their book value.
This asymmetry can be explained in particular by the fact that financial liabilities, relating to Debts to customers, mainly include significant
demand deposits.
Since the contractual maturity of these deposits is immediate, the discounting effect is nil and their fair value is equal to their nominal
amount.

NOTE 4.3 - INSURANCE ACTIVITIES

Insurance activities (life insurance and non-life insurance) add to the range of products included in the banking
services offered to Group customers.
These activities are carried out by dedicated subsidiaries, subject to regulations specific to the insurance sector.
MAKE IT
SIMPLE The rules for measuring and accounting for risks associated with insurance contracts are specific to the
Insurance sector.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Insurance contracts subject to IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” are insurance contracts issued, reinsurance contracts issued (reinsurance
assumed) or held (reinsurance ceded), as well as investment contracts issued including a discretionary participation clause provided that
they are issued by an entity which also issues insurance contracts.
The accounting principles below do not apply to the insurance contracts for which the Group is the insured beneficiary except for the
contracts identified as reinsurance treaties.
Investment contracts without discretionary participation features and with no insurance component (pure unit-linked contracts) do not
meet the IFRS 17 definition of an insurance contract and are recognised as Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or
loss (see Note 3.1 paragraph 3). These are financial liabilities indexed on the performance of underlying assets for which the Group has
elected to exercise the option to measure the instruments at fair value without requiring the separation of the embedded derivatives.

GROUPING OF CONTRACTS
For their assessment, insurance contracts are grouped into homogeneous portfolios to take account of the pooling of risks specific to the
insurance activity. These portfolios include insurance contracts that are exposed to similar risks and managed together.
Within each portfolio, three groups of contracts shall be distinguished on initial recognition of the later: onerous contracts, contracts with
no significant possibility of becoming subsequently onerous, and other contracts.
Lastly, contracts issued more than one year apart cannot be included in the same group. Consequently, each group of contracts shall be
subdivided into annual cohorts. However, while adopting IFRS 17, the European Union has provided European undertakings with an
option not to implement this provision to contracts benefiting from an intergenerational mutualisation of returns on the underlying assets
in countries where these undertakings market insurance contracts.
The Group uses this optional exemption on the life-insurance savings and retirement savings contracts issued as they include direct or
discretionary profit-sharing items for which both risks and cashflows are shared between different generations of policyholders. These
savings life-insurance contracts are also managed on an intergenerational basis in order to mitigate interest rate risk and longevity risk
exposures.
The portfolios of contracts are determined by the Group, using (i) the product line to identify the insurance contracts exposed to similar
risks and (ii) the country of issuance of the contract and/or the distribution entity.
When the materiality of the outstanding amounts of the contracts concerned is not significant in the context of the aggregates of the
Group’s consolidated balance sheet, some of these portfolios may be grouped together.

160
The major portfolios identified by the Group are as follows:

Scope of products Product line


Life Insurance Savings with accumulation of capital paid out upon redemption or death
Savings
(investments in euro funds, unit-linked funds, multivehicle contracts)

Individual and group insurance contracts such as Retirement savings plans (French ‘Plan
Retirement Epargne Retraite’ – PER) with payout in annuities and/or capital (single or multiple unit-
linked investments)

Borrower insurance; Individual protection; Group protection; Individual health insurance;


Protection–Provident
Group health insurance; Funeral insurance; Nursing care insurance.
Protection–Non-life insurance (property and Personal injury accident; Insurance of the Means of payment; Multi-risk home insurance;
casualty) Land motor vehicle insurance; Miscellaneous Risk Insurance.

MEASUREMENT MODELS
Each group of insurance contracts is measured separately, and its value is presented in the balance sheet either under Insurance and
reinsurance contract assets or under Insurance and reinsurance contract liabilities.

General model applicable to the insurance contracts issued

Initial measurement
Upon initial recognition, the value of a group of insurance contracts issued corresponds to the sum of the following items:

Liabilities representative of the insurance contracts

Current value of the insurance services or Fulfilment cash flows

Future cash flows estimated as Discounting Adjustment for non-financial


at the effective date of the risks
contract Time value of money and financial (Risk adjustment)
risks not taken into account in the
Premiums, services, directly related estimated flows. Margin for uncertainties on the
costs. estimated future flows.

Contractual service margin


Future expected profits calculated at the subscription of the contract.

Future estimated cash flows


These cash flows are the current estimates of all the amounts that the insurer expects to receive (for premiums…) or pay to the benefit of
insurance policyholders (in relation to life insurance, claims to be compensated, guaranteed benefits and other directly attributable
expenses) as part of the fulfilment of insurance contracts, until their settlement.
These amounts are adjusted to reflect:

161
the present value of the future cash flows taking into account the time value of money and the financial risks related to the future cash
flows (see Discounting),
the uncertainties about the amount and frequency of the cash flows (see Adjustment for non-financial risk).

Discounting
The future cash flows estimated are discounted using a risk-free yield curve (swap rate curve) adjusted for an illiquidity premium to
represent the differences in characteristics between the liquid, risk-free financial instruments and the financial instruments backed
insurance contracts (bottom-up approach).

Adjustment for non-financial risk


The discounted cash flows are adjusted to reflect the uncertainties about the amount and frequency of the future cash flows. This
adjustment for non-financial risks is determined using a quantile approach based on a confidence level of 80% for the Retirement Savings
business. Thus, the technical provisions supplemented with this risk adjustment will allow these estimated future cash flows to be covered
in 80% of probable cases, a level of caution deemed appropriate. For the Protection business, this quantile level is between 80% and 90%.
The calculation method of the adjustment for non-financial risks ignores the diversification effect between the different insurance
activities.

Contractual service margin (CSM)


The contractual service margin (CSM) represents the unearned profit that the entity will recognise in the income statement as the
insurance services are provided in the future. Its amount is determined at the time of initial recognition of the group of insurance contracts
so that, at that date, neither income nor expense is recorded in the income statement. In the event of onerous contracts, the expected
loss shall immediately be recognised in profit or loss. This initial loss will later be reversed in profit or loss to offset the expense for incurred
claims.

Subsequent measurement
On each closing date, the carrying amount in the balance sheet of the group of insurance contracts issued is remeasured. It is then equal
to the sum of the following amounts:
the liability for remaining coverage (LRC), for an amount equal to the reestimated value as at the date of the fulfilment cash flows related
to future services (discounted value of the amounts receivable and payable related to the supply of insurance services on the remaining
coverage period and the deposit components) and, when appropriate, the contractual service margin reestimated on the same date as
described below;
the liability for incurred claims (LIC), for an amount equal to the reestimated value as at the date of the fulfilment cash flows related to
past services (discounted value of the amounts payable in relation to services on already incurred claims).

162
Income and expense are recognised for the changes in liabilities for remaining coverage and for incurred claims, as summarised below:
Changes in liability for remaining coverage Changes in liability for incurred claims
Insurance products Reversals related to the insurance services
provided during the period
Insurance services expenses Losses recognised on onerous contracts and
reversal of these losses Allocations of liabilities for the incurred claims
and the unfunded expenses incurred during
the period
Subsequent changes in the fulfilment cash flows
relating to the incurred claims and the
unfunded expenses incurred

Insurance financial expenses Account taken of the impacts of the time value of Account taken of the impacts of the time value of
and income money money

On this same closing date, the amount of contractual service margin is adjusted to take notably account, for all contracts, of:
the impact of the new contracts added to the Group;
the interest capitalised on the carrying amount of the margin at the discounting rate used to determine the initial margin value;
the reestimate of the fulfilment cash flows (discounted value of the amounts receivable and payable related to the insurance services
provided during the remaining coverage period, excl. estimated amounts to be paid for already incurred claims that are subject to
separate measurement);
the amount recognised as insurance revenue because of the transfer of insurance contract services in the period.

Moreover, the contractual service margin is recognised in profit or loss according to coverage units that reflect the amount of service
provided and the expected coverage period for the contracts remaining in the group of contracts.
The contractual service margin is not adjusted for the following changes in cash flows as they are not related to future services:
inclusion of the impacts (and changes in them) of the time value of money and the financial risk (for example, the impact of a change in
the discounting rate);
changes in estimates of the fulfilment cash flows of liabilities for incurred claims;
adjustments related to experience (difference between the estimate of the amounts expected for the period and the actual cash flows of
the period).
Protection-Provident business
The Group mainly applies the General Model to measure its Protection-Provident contracts (borrower insurance, funeral, dependency
contracts…).
For the Protection – Provident business, the insured value (for example the outstanding capital of the loan in the context of a borrower
contract) is used to measure the quantity of service (or coverage units) provided or to be provided, in order to recognise a portion of the
contractual service margin in the net income of the period.

163
General Model adapted to the insurance contracts issued with direct participation features (Variable Fee Approach)
Insurance contracts issued with direct participation features may be regarded as creating an obligation to pay to policyholders an amount
equal to the fair value of the underlying items (for example, investments in units of funds), minus a variable fee for the service.
The variable fee:
a) represents the counterparty that a company receives to provide investment services;
b) is based on the portion of the performance of the underlying items that varies over time. Consequently, the variable fee reflects
the performance of the underlying items and the other cash flows necessary for the fulfilment of the contracts.
The general accounting model is adapted to reflect that the consideration received for this type of contract is a variable fee (Variable Fee
Approach - VFA).
This adaptation of the general accounting model is used to measure the groups of insurance contracts for which:
the contractual clauses specify that the policy holder is entitled to a portion of a clearly defined portfolio of underlying items;
the entity expects to pay to the policyholder an amount equal to a substantial share of the yield on the fair value of the underlying
items; and
the entity expects any change in the amounts payable to the shareholder to be attributable, substantially, to a change in fair value of the
underlying items.

Eligibility to this measurement model is analysed on the issuance date of the contracts and may subsequently be reassessed only in case
of changes in the contract.
This measurement model is in line with the general model with regards to the following items:
the fulfilment cash flows are measured the same way;
during the initial measurement, the contractual service margin is identical;
the subsequent changes in the fulfilment cash flows associated with the future services adjust the contractual service margin while the
other changes, related to the services provided during the period or before impact the net income.
There are however several differences:
General model Tailored General model - VFA
Recognition of the changes in fulfilment in full in the Statement of net income and as an adjustment of the contractual service
cash flows in relation to the changes in unrealised or deferred gains and losses margin for the portion of this change
discounting rates and other financial associated with the insurer’s share of
variables underlying items
Determination of the interest expense explicitly applying the discount rate used implicitly when taking account of the
for the capitalisation of interest on the during the initial measurement insurer’s share in the change in fair value
contractual service margin of the underlying items for the
determination of the contractual service
margin

Savings and Retirement business


The Group determined that the majority of life savings insurance contracts and individual and collective retirement savings contracts issued
by its insurance subsidiaries meet the definition of contracts with direct participation features. These contracts, which make up the Group’s
predominant insurance activity (some 99% of the discounted estimated cash flows), are measured using the adapted General model known
as Variable Fee Approach (VFA). The other contracts in these categories are measured based on the General Model or under IFRS 9 if they meet
the definition of an investment contract.

164
For the Savings and Retirement business, the quantity of service (or coverage units) used for the amortisation of the contractual service
margin is determined based on the amounts of estimated future cash flows for the current and future periods. An adjustment is made to
correct a bow wave effect, using the financial performance expected over the projection horizon.

General Model adapted to the reinsurance contracts held


Following the issuance of insurance contracts, some risks may be ceded to another insurance company through reinsurance contracts.
The general accounting model is adapted to take account of the specificities of the reinsurance contracts held. These reinsurance
contracts held are booked under the General Model, modified on the following features:
Estimate of the fulfilment cash flows The fulfilment cash flows take into account the risk of non-fulfilment by the issuer of the
reinsurance contract (i.e. the risk of not recovering the expected compensation in the event
of default of the reinsurer).
Measurement of the contractual Any net cost or profit determined at initial recognition (determined based on the estimated
service margin during initial amount of premiums payable, expenses to be paid and compensations to be received) is
recognition recognised as a contractual service margin.
Measurement of the contractual The contractual service margin is adjusted and an income is recognised accordingly, when a
service margin in the context of loss is recognised at initial recognition of a group of onerous underlying insurance contracts
onerous underlying contracts or when onerous underlying insurance contracts are added to the group.

Simplified model (Premium Allocation Approach)


The standard also allows, under some conditions, for the application of a simplified accounting model for the contracts whose insurance
coverage is lower or equal to 12 months, or for which the measurement of the Group’s remaining coverage liabilities determined using
this approach is not significantly different from the one that would result from the application of the general model.
The remaining coverage liabilities presented on the balance sheet corresponds to:
the amount of premium received under the contract adjusted for the amounts recognised as insurance contracts income as the company
provides the insurance coverage;
minus the remaining depreciable acquisition costs paid.

If a group of contracts is onerous, the remaining coverage liability is increased up to the estimated future fulfilment cash flows and a loss
is recognised in the income statement.
The incurred claim liability is measured based on the general model. The Group does not discount the liability when it expects the claims
to be settled within one year.
The simplified approach does not require:
an explicit measurement of the contractual service margin;
an update of the remaining coverage liability for the changes in discount rate and financial variables.

Protection – non-life insurance activity


The Group mostly applies the simplified approach to measure its non-life insurance contracts (personal injuries, means of payment, multi-
risk home insurance…).

165
PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF INSURANCE CONTRACTS
Expenses and income relating to insurance contracts are presented in the income statement, distinguishing between:
the income arising from insurance services which includes:
income from insurance contracts issued;
insurance services expenses;
net income or expenses from the reinsurance contracts held;
the financial result of the insurance and reinsurance contracts.

Income from insurance contracts issued


The revenues from insurance contracts represent the consideration that the insurance subsidiary expects to receive (representative of
the premium received) against the services provided under the contracts.
The revenues recognised for the period include the amount representative of the premium received as coverage of the insurance service
expenses and the margin expected in relation to the services provided during the period.
Many insurance contracts providing investment services include a deposit component, which is an amount paid by the policyholder and
repaid by the insurer even when the insured event does not take place. These deposit components are excluded from the income
statement, as the collection and repayment of a deposit are not, respectively, an income and an expense.

Insurance services expenses


Insurance services expenses reflect the costs incurred to provide services over the period, including those associated with the claims
incurred, and excluding the deposit component.
The expenses recorded over the period include the insurance services expenses related to the services provided for the incurred claims
during the current or past periods and other amounts such as the amortisation of the insurance acquisition costs, the costs on onerous
contracts and their reversals.

Income and expenses of the reinsurance contracts held.


Income and expenses are representative of the amounts recovered from reinsurers and of the allocation of the premiums paid for this
coverage.

Financial income and expenses of insurance contracts


The fulfilment cash flows and contractual service margin are booked on a discounted basis reflecting the frequency of cash flows. Over
time, the effect of the time value of money decreases, which is reflected in the income statement as an insurance financial expense (the
present value of future disbursements increases). Indeed, the financing costs (financial expenses of the contracts) of insurance are similar
to the interest paid on an early payment (in the form of a premium) and reflect the fact that policyholders usually pay the premiums in
advance and receive benefits at a later date.
Finance income or expenses from insurance also include the effects on the carrying amount of insurance contracts of some changes in
financial assumptions (namely discount rate and other financial variables).
The effect of the changes in discount rates and other financial variables is recognised over the period during which the changes occurred.
The Group has elected, for most of its groups of contracts, to present the effect of these changes in a disaggregated manner between the
income statement and equity. The aim of this choice is to minimise accounting mismatch between the investments of the insurance
activity (associated to the financial assets held to cover the insurance contracts) and the financial expenses of the insurance contracts.
This choice is made for each group of insurance contracts.

166
The Group decided to present the Notes detailing the financial data of the insurance subsidiaries distinguishing between the data
attributed to the insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 17 (columns headed “Insurance contracts”) including the measurement of
these contracts and the investments backing them. These data also distinguish between the insurance contracts issued with direct
participation features measured using the VFA model and their underlying investments.
The financial data of the investment contracts without participation features and without insurance component (contracts within the
scope of IFRS 9) as well as all financial instruments that are not backing insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 17 (ex: financial
instruments negotiated in the context of the investment of equity) are presented separately from the other financial data in the “Others”
column.

2.2 MONITORING OF THE AMOUNT OF THE GAINS AND LOSSES DIRECTLY RECOGNISED IN EQUITY FOR DEBTS INSTRUMENTS
UNDERLYING CONTRACTS WITH DIRECT PARTICIPATION FEATURES PRESENT AS AT THE TRANSITION DATE

The Group elected, for the groups of contracts with direct participation features, to recognise in the Net income of the period the financial
income or expenses that eliminate accounting mismatches with the income or expenses recognised in the Net income for the underlying
items held. Consequently, insurance subsidiaries directly recognise in equity the difference between the total financial income or
expenses to be booked for the period for the contracts with direct participation features and the amount recognised in the Net income to
eliminate an accounting mismatch.
The table below shows the changes in cumulative amount of the financial income and expenses related to insurance activities recognised
directly in equity in relation to the contracts with direct participation features identified as at 1 January 2022 (date of transition to the
new measurement method of contracts provided for by IFRS 17).

4. MANAGEMENT OF INSURANCE RISKS


The Group carries out its insurance activities through the distribution and reinsurance acceptance of a wide range of life insurance,
protection and health insurance, and non-life insurance policies. Since the life insurance business is predominant on the French market
in the Group’s insurance activities, the market risks of financial assets in terms of technical liabilities constitute the most significant
exposure. Within market risks, the insurance business line is sensitive to shocks in interest rates, equity markets and credit spreads. In
connection with the life insurance savings activity, a risk of withdrawals is also significant.
Managing these risks is key to the Insurance business line’s activity. It is carried out by qualified and experienced teams, with major
bespoke IT resources. Risks undergo regular monitoring and are reported to the General Management of both the entities concerned and
the business lines.
Risk management techniques are based on the following:
heightened security for the risk acceptance process, with the aim of guaranteeing that the price schedule matches the policyholder’s risk
profile and the guarantees provided;
regular monitoring of indicators on product claims rates in order to adjust certain product parameters, such as pricing or the level of
guarantee, if necessary;
implementation of a reinsurance plan to protect the business line from major/serial claims;
application of policies on risk, provisioning and reinsurance.
Management of risks linked to the financial markets and to ALM is an integral part of the investment strategy just like objectives on long-
term performance. The optimisation of these two factors is highly influenced by the asset/liability balance. Liability commitments
(guarantees offered to customers, maturity of policies), as well as the amounts booked under the major items on the balance sheet
(shareholders’ equity, income, provisions, reserves, etc.) are analysed by the Finance and Risk Department of the insurance business line.
Risk management related to financial markets (interest rates, credit and shares) and to ALM is based on the following:
monitoring short- and long-term cash flows (match between the term of a liability and the term of an asset, liquidity risk management);
particular monitoring of policyholder behaviour (redemption);
close monitoring of financial markets;

180
hedging of exchange rate risks (both rising and falling);
defining thresholds and limits per counterparty, per rating issuer and per category of assets;
stress tests, the results of which are presented annually at entities’ Board of Directors’ meetings, as part of the ORSA report (Own Risk and
Solvency Assessment), transferred to the ACPR after approval by the Board;
application of policies related to ALM and investment risks.

CONTRIBUTION TO BANK RESOLUTION MECHANISMS


The European regulatory framework designed to enhance financial stability was updated by the Directive 2014/59/UE of 15 May 2014
establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms (Bank Recovery and Resolution
Directive).
The European Regulation UE n°806/2014 of 15 July 2014 then determined the financing means of resolution mechanisms within the
European Banking Union through the establishment of a Single Resolution Fund (SRF). In addition to this instrument, the National
Resolution Fund (NRF) exists for institutions subject to this resolution mechanisms, but that have no SRF.
The SRF, established in January 2016, shall receive annual contributions from the participating European financial institutions. By the end
of 2023, the available financial means of the Fund shall reach at least 1% of the amount of covered deposits of all these participating
financial institutions. A share of the annual contributions can be provided through irrevocable payment commitments.
In 2023, the Group's contributions to the SRF and the FRNs were made:
for 77.5%, in the form of a cash contribution amounting to EUR 658 million (compared to EUR 863 million in 2022) of which 603 million
under the SRF and 55 million under the FRN, not tax-deductible in France and recognised in the income statement under Other
administrative expenses on the ‘Taxes and duties and other contributions’ line;
for 22.5%, in the form of an irrevocable payment commitment secured by the payment of a cash guarantee deposit for an amount of EUR
175 million under the SRF (compared to EUR 142 million in 2022) recognised as an asset in the balance sheet under Other assets.

In compliance with the French tax provisions that define the ordinary corporate tax rate, the latter has been set at 25% (article 219 of the

Long-term capital gains on affiliates are exempt from this corporate tax, except for a 12% fee on the gross amount.
Furthermore, under the parent-subsidiary regime, dividends from companies in which Societe Generale’s equity interest is at least 5% are
tax exempt, subject to taxation of a portion of fees and expenses of 1% or 5% at the full statutory tax rate.

The Group performs an annual review of its capacity to use tax loss carry-forwards, taking into account the tax system applicable to each
tax entity (or tax group) concerned and a realistic forecast of its tax results. For this purpose, the tax results are determined based on the
projected performance of the businesses. This performance corresponds to the estimated budget (scenario SG Central) over four years
(from 2023 to 2026), extrapolated to 2027, which corresponds to a “normative” year.

The tax results also take into consideration the accounting and tax adjustments (including the reversal of the deferred tax assets and
liabilities bases on temporary differences) applicable to the entities and jurisdictions concerned. These adjustments are determined on
the basis of historical tax results and on the Group's tax expertise. An extrapolation of the tax results is performed from 2027 on and over
a timeframe considered reasonable and depending on the nature of the activities carried out within each tax entity.

On principle, the appreciation of the selected macroeconomic factors and the internal estimates used to determine the tax results involve
risks and uncertainties about their materialisation over the estimated timeframe for the absorption of the losses. These risks and
uncertainties are especially related to possible changes in the applicable tax rules (computation of the tax result, as well as allocation
rules for tax loss carry-forwards) or materialisation of the assumptions selected. These uncertainties are mitigated by robustness checks
of the budgetary and strategic assumptions.

The updated projections show that the Group’s activated tax loss-carry forwards may likely be used against its future taxable income.

187
PILLAR II: TAX REFORM – GLOBAL MINIMUM CORPORATE TAX RATE
In October 2021, 137 of the 140 jurisdictions members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Inclusive
Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) committed to the principle of establishing a global minimum corporate tax rate of
15% on the profit. This set of measures would be applied Country-by-Country to multinational enterprises earnings with revenue
exceeding EUR 750 million.
A set of rules referred to as “Pillar 2” was published by the OECD on 20 December 2021, followed by the publication of a draft European
directive on 22 December 2021 regarding their implementation within the European Union. Following the unanimous agreement of the
Member States, this Directive was formally adopted and published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 22 December 2022.
The rules are to be implemented through the tax systems of the 27 Member States before 31 December 2023 for application to the fiscal
years opened from 1 January 2024 on. The transposition of the Directive into French law is expected with the publication of the draft
Finance Bill for 2024.

In accordance with the requirements introduced by the amendments to IAS 12 (see Note 1), the Group will apply the exception to the
recognition of deferred taxes associated with income taxes arising from Pillar 2 rules upon its adoption by the European Union.
Pending this adoption and in the absence of specific normative requirements in IAS 12, the Group has estimated as appropriate to not
recognise deferred taxes under Pillar 2 rules when these rules have been adopted in a jurisdiction, which will be the case in South Korea
as of 1 January 2024 and in Japan as of 1 April 2024.
A project structure has been set up at Group level in order to perform the analysis of the requirements in the EU Minimum Tax Directive,
to conduct a study of the impacts for the Group and take the necessary measures to ensure compliance with it when it comes into force.

3. DEFERRED TAX ASSETS RECOGNISED ON TAX LOSS CARRY-FORWARDS AND DEFERRED TAX ASSETS NOT
RECOGNISED

As at 30 June 2023, based on the tax system of each entity and a realistic projection of their tax income, the projected period for deferred
tax assets recovery is indicated in the table below:

(1) In accordance with the 2013 French Finance Act, the deduction of previous losses is limited to EUR 1 million plus 50% of the fraction of the
taxable income for the fiscal year exceeding this limit. The non-deductible portion of losses may be carried forward to the following fiscal
years with no time limit and under the same conditions.
(2) Tax losses generated before 31 December 2011.

The main deferred taxes not recognised as assets in the balance sheet by tax group are presented in the table below. They may be
recognised in the balance sheet when it becomes probable that a future taxable profit will allow their recovery.

As at 31 December 2022, 41,674,813 Societe Generale shares were acquired on the market at a cost price of EUR 914 million, for the purpose
of cancellation, in accordance with the decision of the General Meeting of 17 May 2022. The capital reduction by cancellation of securities
was carried out on 1 February 2023.

As at 30 June 2023, Societe Generale S.A.’s fully paid up capital amounted to EUR 1,010,261,206.25 and was made up of 808,208,965 shares
with a nominal value of EUR 1.25.

As at 23 May 2023, as part of the Group’s employee share ownership policy (see Note 5), Societe Generale offered its employees the
opportunity to subscribe to a reserved capital increase. 12,548,674 shares were subscribed. The capital increase was carried out on 24
July 2023.

2. TREASURY STOCK

As at 30 June 2023, the Group held 8,330,460 of its own shares as treasury stock, for trading purposes or for the active management of
shareholders' equity, representing 1.03% of the capital of Societe Generale S.A.

The amount deducted by the Group from its equity for treasury shares (and related derivatives) came to EUR 329 million, including EUR
135 million in shares held for trading activities.

The change in treasury stock over 2023 breaks down as follows:

3. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY ISSUED BY THE GROUP

As at 30 June 2023, the amount of equity instruments issued by the Group is EUR 10,136 million. The EUR 1,000 million increase in the first
half of 2023 can be explained by the issuance of a perpetual deeply subordinated note in EUR.

The amount of other equity instruments issued by the Group’s subsidiaries and recognised under Non-controlling interests totalled EUR
1,300 million including EUR 500 million issued by LeasePlan.

4. EFFECT OF THE CHANGES IN THE SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION

The impact of changes in the consolidation scope recognised in shareholders’ equity (EUR -20 million in Group share and EUR 3,533 million
in Non-controlling interests) is mainly explained by the acquisition of LeasePlan (see Note 2.1) with:
• the decrease in the ownership interest in ALD from 75.94% to 52.59% with EUR -4 million in Group share and EUR 3,303 million in Non-
controlling interests;
• an impact of EUR 513 million on the Non-controlling interests linked to other equity instruments issued by LeasePlan.

Centre income includes, in particular, some consequences of the Group’s centralised management of litigation and of transactions leading to changes in the
consolidation scope.

Management fees incurred by banking entities in connection with the distribution of insurance contracts are considered as costs directly related to the
performance of the contracts and are therefore included in the valuation of the latter and presented under Insurance services expense (see Note1); this
restatement is allocated to the Corporate Centre.

(2) These amounts include Personnel expenses, Other operating expenses and Amortisation, depreciation and impairment of tangible and intangible fixed
assets.

(3) Segment liabilities correspond to debts (i.e. total liabilities excluding equity).

NOTE 9 - INFORMATION ON RISKS AND LITIGATION

Every quarter, the Group reviews in detail the disputes presenting a significant risk. These disputes may lead to the recording of a provision
if it becomes probable or certain that the Group will incur an outflow of resources for the benefit of a third party without receiving at least
the equivalent value in exchange. These provisions for litigations are classified among the Other provisions included in the Provisions
item in the liabilities of the balance-sheet.
No detailed information can be disclosed on either the recording or the amount of a specific provision given that such disclosure would
likely seriously prejudice the outcome of the disputes in question.

On 24 October 2012, the Court of Appeal of Paris confirmed the first judgment delivered on 5 October 2010, finding J. Kerviel guilty of
breach of trust, fraudulent insertion of data into a computer system, forgery and use of forged documents. J. Kerviel was sentenced to
serve a prison sentence of five years, two years of which are suspended, and was ordered to pay EUR 4.9 billion in damages to Societe
Generale. On 19 March 2014, the Supreme Court confirmed the criminal liability of J. Kerviel. This decision puts an end to the criminal
proceedings. On the civil front, on 23 September 2016, the Versailles Court of Appeal rejected J. Kerviel’s request for an expert
determination of the damage suffered by the bank, and therefore confirmed that the net accounting losses suffered by the Bank as a result
of his criminal conduct amount to EUR 4.9 billion. It also declared J. Kerviel partially responsible for the damage caused to Societe
Generale and sentenced him to pay to Societe Generale EUR 1 million. Societe Generale and J. Kerviel did not appeal before the Supreme
Court. Societe Generale considers that this decision has no impact on its tax situation. However, as indicated by the Minister of the
Economy and Finance in September 2016, the tax authorities have examined the tax consequences of this book loss and indicated that
they intended to call into question the deductibility of the loss caused by the actions of J. Kerviel, amounting to EUR 4.9 billion. This
proposed tax rectification has no immediate effect and will possibly have to be confirmed by an adjustment notice sent by the tax
authorities when Societe Generale will be in a position to deduct the tax loss carry forwards arising from the loss from its taxable income.
Such a situation will not occur for several years according to the Bank’s forecasts. In view of the 2011 opinion of the French Supreme
Administrative Court (Conseil d’Etat) and its established case law which was recently confirmed again in this regard, Societe Generale
considers that there is no need to provision the corresponding deferred tax assets. In the event that the authorities decide, in due course,
to confirm their current position, Societe Generale Group will not fail to assert its rights before the competent courts. By a decision handed
down on 20 September 2018, the Investigation Committee of the reviewing and reassessment Criminal Court has furthermore declared
inadmissible the request filed in May 2015 by J. Kerviel against his criminal sentence, confirming the absence of any new element or fact
that could justify the reopening of the criminal file.

Between 2003 and 2008, Societe Generale set up gold consignment lines with the Turkish group Goldas. In February 2008, Societe Generale
was alerted to a risk of fraud and embezzlement of gold stocks held by Goldas. These suspicions were rapidly confirmed following the
failure by Goldas to pay or refund gold worth EUR 466.4 million. Societe Generale brought civil proceedings against its insurers and various
Goldas Group entities. Goldas launched various proceedings in Turkey and in the UK against Societe Generale. In the action brought by
Societe Generale against Goldas in the UK, Goldas applied to have the action of Societe Generale struck-out and applied to the UK court
for damages. On 3 April 2017, the UK court granted both applications and will, after an inquiry into damages, rule on the amount due to
Goldas, if any. On 15 May 2018, the London Court of Appeal discharged entirely the inquiry into damages granted by the London High
Court to Goldas but rejected Societe Generale’s arguments relating to service of the claims issued against Goldas, which are therefore
time-barred. On 18 December 2018, the Supreme Court refused permission to appeal to both Societe Generale and Goldas, which has
therefore become definitive. On 16 February 2017, the Paris Commercial Court dismissed Societe Generale’s claims against its insurers.
Societe Generale filed an appeal against the Paris Commercial Court’s decision. On 1 February 2023, the Paris Court of Appeals confirmed
this decision.

In the early 2000s, the French banking industry decided to transition to a new digital system in order to streamline cheque clearing.
To support this reform (known as EIC – Echange d’Images Chèques), which has contributed to the improvement of cheque payments
security and to the fight against fraud, the Banks established several interbank fees (including the CEIC which was abolished in 2007).
These fees were implemented under the aegis of the banking sector supervisory authorities, and to the knowledge of the public
authorities.
On 20 September 2010, the French competition authority ruled that the joint implementation and the setting of the amount of the CEIC
and of two additional fees for related services were in breach of competition law. The authority fined all the participants to the agreement
(including the Banque de France) a total of approximately EUR 385 million of penalties. On 2 December 2021, after several years of
proceedings and two decisions of the Supreme Court, the Paris Court of Appeal overturned the decision of the French competition
198
authority and ruled that (i) it was not proven that the establishment of the CEIC and the fees for related services on AOCT (cancellation of
wrongly cleared transactions) as well as their collection had infringed the provisions of Article L. 420-1 of the French Commercial Code
and of Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and, (ii) that its decision was giving rise to a right of restitution
of the sums paid in execution of the overturned decision, namely approximatively EUR 53.5 million for Societe Generale and
approximatively EUR 7 million for Crédit du Nord, together with interests at the legal rate. On 31 December 2021, the French competition
authority filed an appeal before the Supreme court against this decision. The Supreme Court dismissed this appeal by a decision of 28
June 2023, putting a definitive end to this litigation.

On 3 January 2023, Societe Generale Private Banking (Switzerland) (“SGPBS”) entered into an agreement to settle litigation in the United
States stemming from the Ponzi scheme of Robert Allen Stanford and his affiliates. On 21 February 2023, the Receiver and the Official
Stanford Investors Committee (“OSIC”) filed a motion in US District Court for the Northern District of Texas seeking approval of the
settlement. The settlement provides for the payment by SGPBS of USD 157 million in exchange for the release of all claims. During the 7
June 2023 hearing, the Court granted the Receiver’s motion to approve the settlement. This order is now subject to various appeals, the
schedule for which has not yet been determined. The settlement was fully covered by reserves in the accounts of Societe Generale S.A.
following a financial guarantee provided by Societe Generale S.A. to SGPBS. Each of the other defendant banks in this litigation also
announced settlements in the first quarter of 2023 with the US Receiver and OSIC resolving their claims. These settlements were reached
in advance of a jury trial that had been scheduled to start on 27 February 2023.
In the same matter, a pre-contentious claim (requête en conciliation) was initiated in Geneva in November 2022 by the Joint Liquidators
of SIBL, appointed by the courts in Antigua, representing the same investors as those represented by the US plaintiffs. SGPBS was served
with the statement of claim on 20 June 2023 and will defend itself against the claims in this proceeding.

Notwithstanding the agreements reached in 2018 with the US authorities regarding certain London Interbank Offered Rates and the Euro
Interbank Offered Rate (“the IBOR matter”) and the dismissal on 30 November 2021 of the legal proceedings brought by the DOJ in this
matter (see Chapter 4 of the Universal Registration Document), the Bank continues to defend civil proceedings in the United States (as
described below) and has responded to information requests received from other authorities, including the Attorneys General of various
States of the United States and the New York Department of Financial Services.

In the United States, Societe Generale, along with other financial institutions, has been named as a defendant in putative class actions
involving the setting of US Dollar Libor, Japanese Yen Libor, and Euribor rates and trading in instruments indexed to those rates. Societe
Generale has also been named in several individual (non-class) actions concerning the US Dollar Libor rate. All of these actions are pending
in the US District Court in Manhattan (the “District Court”).
As to US Dollar Libor, all claims against Societe Generale were dismissed by the District Court or voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs,
except in two putative class actions and one individual action that were effectively stayed. The class plaintiffs and a number of individual
plaintiffs appealed the dismissal of their antitrust claims to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (“Second Circuit”).
On 30 December 2021, the Second Circuit reversed the dismissal and reinstated the antitrust claims. These reinstated claims which have
been returned to the District Court include those asserted by a proposed class of over-the-counter (OTC) plaintiffs and by OTC plaintiffs
that have filed individual actions. On 21 June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court denied a petition filed by Societe Generale and other
defendants that sought review of the Second Circuit’s ruling. Discovery is ongoing. On 19 August 2022, one of the stayed putative class
actions was voluntarily dismissed by plaintiffs. On 9 January 2023, the claims against Societe Generale by one of the individual plaintiffs,
National Credit Union Administration (as Liquidating Agent for certain credit unions), were voluntarily dismissed with prejudice. On 12
May 2023, Societe Generale and two other financial institutions entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the OTC class action for a
combined USD 90 million. Societe Generale’s portion of this settlement was fully covered by reserves. The District Court granted
preliminary settlement approval on 25 May 2023 and scheduled a hearing to consider final settlement approval for 17 October 2023.
As to Japanese Yen Libor, the District Court dismissed the complaint brought by purchasers of Euroyen over-the-counter derivative
products. On 1 April 2020, the Second Circuit reversed the dismissal and reinstated the claims. On 30 September 2021, the District Court
dismissed certain plaintiffs and all Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act claims but upheld certain antitrust and state law
claims against Societe Generale. Discovery in that action is ongoing. In the other action, brought by purchasers or sellers of Euroyen
derivative contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange on 27 September 2019, plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. On
25 September 2020, the District Court granted defendants’ motion for judgment on the pleadings and dismissed plaintiff’s remaining
claims. Plaintiff appealed to the Second Circuit. On 18 October 2022, as amended on 8 December 2022, the Second Circuit affirmed the
District Court’s dismissal of plaintiff’s claims.
As to Euribor, the District Court dismissed all claims against Societe Generale in the putative class action and denied the plaintiffs’ motion
to file a proposed amended complaint. Plaintiffs have appealed those rulings to the Second Circuit. Societe Generale reached a settlement
of this action in an amount covered by reserves. Shortly thereafter, on 21 November 2022, the Second Circuit stayed plaintiffs’ appeal as
199
to Societe Generale and remanded that portion of the case to the District Court for consideration of the proposed settlement. On 18 April
2023, the District Court granted preliminary settlement approval and scheduled a hearing to consider final settlement approval for
7 September 2023.
In Argentina, Societe Generale, along with other financial institutions, has been named as a defendant in litigation brought by a consumer
association on behalf of Argentine consumers who held government bonds or other specified instruments that paid interest tied to US
Dollar Libor. The allegations concern violations of Argentine consumer protection law in connection with alleged manipulation of the US
Dollar Libor rate. Societe Generale has not yet been served with the complaint in this matter.

Beginning on 15 January 2019, Societe Generale and SG Americas Securities, LLC, along with other financial institutions, were named in
three putative antitrust class actions in the US District Court in Manhattan, which were consolidated. Plaintiffs alleged that the USD ICE
Libor panel banks conspired to make artificially low submissions to that benchmark in order to profit on their trading in derivatives tied
to USD ICE Libor. Plaintiffs were seeking to certify a class comprised of US residents (individuals and entities) that transacted with a
defendant in floating rate debt instruments or interest rate swaps tied to USD ICE Libor and received a payment at any time between
1 February 2014 to the present, regardless of when the instrument was purchased. By order dated 26 March 2020, the District Court
dismissed the action. Plaintiffs appealed that ruling. On 6 April 2021, the Second Circuit permitted a new proposed class representative
to intervene as a plaintiff in the appeal. The original proposed class representatives withdrew from the action. On 14 February 2022, the
Second Circuit dismissed the remaining plaintiff’s appeal for lack of standing leaving undisturbed the District Court’s dismissal. This
litigation is now concluded.

Societe Generale, along with several other financial institutions, was named as a defendant in a putative class action alleging violations
of US antitrust laws and the CEA in connection with foreign exchange spot and derivatives trading. The action was brought by persons or
entities that transacted in certain over-the-counter and exchange-traded foreign exchange instruments. Societe Generale reached a
settlement of USD 18 million, which was approved by the Court on 6 August 2018. On 7 November 2018, a group of individual entities that
elected to opt out of the settlement filed a lawsuit against Societe Generale, SG Americas Securities, LLC and several other financial
institutions. SG Americas Securities, LLC was dismissed by order dated 28 May 2020. On 11 November 2020, Societe Generale was named,
along with several other banks, in a UK action alleging collusion in the market for FX instruments. The action was subsequently transferred
to the Competition Appeal Tribunal. By orders dated 17 May 2023 and 23 May 2023 respectively, the US and UK actions were dismissed.
These actions are now over.

On 10 December 2012, the French Supreme Administrative Court (Conseil d’Etat) rendered two decisions confirming that the “précompte
tax” which used to be levied on corporations in France does not comply with EU law and defined a methodology for the reimbursement
of the amounts levied by the tax authorities. However, such methodology considerably reduces the amount to be reimbursed.
Societe Generale purchased in 2005 the “précompte tax” claims of two companies (Rhodia and Suez, now Engie) with a limited recourse
on the selling companies. One of the above decisions of the French Supreme Administrative Court relates to Rhodia. Societe Generale has
brought proceedings before the French administrative courts.

Several French companies applied to the European Commission, who considered that the decisions handed down by the Conseil d’Etat
on 10 December 2012, which was supposed to implement the decision rendered by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on
15 September 2011, infringed a number of principles of European law. The European Commission subsequently brought infringement
proceedings against the French Republic in November 2014, and since then confirmed its position by referring the matter to the CJEU on
8 December 2016. The CJEU rendered its judgement on 4 October 2018 and sentenced France for failure by the Conseil d’Etat to disregard
the tax on EU sub-subsidiaries in order to secure the précompte paid in error as well as on the absence of any preliminary question. With
regard to the practical implementation of the decision, Societe Generale has continued to assert its rights with the competent courts and
the tax authorities, which it expects to be treated in accordance with the law. On 23 June 2020, the Administrative Court of Appeal of
Versailles issued a ruling in favour of Engie on our 2002 and 2003 Suez claims, followed by an enforcement in our favour. The judgment of
Versailles held that the advance payment was not compatible with the Parent-Subsidiary Directive: the Conseil d’Etat pointed out that a
question should be referred to the CJEU for a preliminary ruling in order to ascertain this. The Court of Luxembourg has confirmed on
12 May 2022 that the précompte was incompatible with the Parent-Subsidiary Directive. The Conseil d’Etat, by an Engie judgment of 30
June 2023, taking note of this incompatibility, confirmed the provisions of the Versailles judgment for the year 2002, but referred the year
2003 to a more in-depth examination by the Court of Versailles of the declarations of précompte produced, in order to validate the amount
to be received. At the same time, compensation litigation was brought in March 2023 before the European Commission and the Paris
Administrative Court of Appeal for the Rhodia claim and the Suez claims for 1999 to 2001, judged respectively by the Conseil d’Etat in 2012
and 2016, before the 2018 and 2022 judgments of the CJEU.

200
Societe Generale, along with other financial institutions, was named as a defendant in a putative class action alleging violations of
US antitrust laws and the CEA in connection with its involvement in the London Gold Market Fixing. The action is brought on behalf of
persons or entities that sold physical gold, sold gold futures contracts traded on the CME, sold shares in gold ETFs, sold gold call options
traded on CME, bought gold put options traded on CME, sold over-the-counter gold spot or forward contracts or gold call options, or
bought over-the-counter gold put options. Societe Generale, along with three other defendants, has reached a settlement to resolve this
action for USD 50 million. By order dated 13 January 2022, the Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement. The final fairness
hearing was held on 5 August 2022, and the settlement received final approval by order dated 8 August 2022. This matter is now concluded.
Although Societe Generale’s share of the settlement is not public, it was not material from a financial perspective. Societe Generale, along
with other financial institutions, is also named as a defendant in two putative class actions in Canada (in the Ontario Superior Court in
Toronto and Quebec Superior Court in Quebec City) involving similar claims. Societe Generale is defending the claims.
Since August 2015, various former and current employees of the Societe Generale Group have been under investigation by German
criminal prosecution and tax authorities for their alleged participation in the so called “CumEx” patterns in connection with withholding
tax on dividends on German shares. These investigations relate inter alia to a fund administered by SGSS GmbH proprietary trading
activities and transactions carried out on behalf of clients. The Group entities respond to the requests of the German authorities.
Societe Generale Group entities may also be exposed to claims by third parties, including German tax offices, and become party to legal
disputes initiated by clients involved in proceedings against the German tax administration.

In May 2019, SGAS was named, along with other financial institutions, as a defendant in a putative class action in the US alleging
anticompetitive behaviour in the pricing of “agency bonds” issued by US Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs), including Federal
Home Loan Bank (FHLB), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and Federal National Mortgage Association
(Fannie Mae). On 16 June 2020, SGAS and twelve other bank defendants reached a final settlement with plaintiffs. Although SGAS’s share
of the settlement is not public, the amount was not material from a financial statement perspective. SGAS was also named in four separate
individual opt-out litigations by the following plaintiffs: the State of Louisiana (filed September 2019), the City of Baton Rouge/East Baton
Rouge Parish and related entities (October 2019), Louisiana Asset Management Pool (April 2020), and the City of New Orleans and related
entities (September 2020). These suits also asserted antitrust claims (and in some cases other related claims) against SGAS and multiple
other bank defendants based on these plaintiffs’ purchases of GSE bonds. As to the opt-out litigations, a settlement was reached involving
all defendants in June 2021, of which SGAS’s share was immaterial, and these actions have been dismissed. SGAS also received a
subpoena from the US Department of Justice (DOJ) in connection with its US agency bond business. SGAS responded to these requests
and is cooperating with the DOJ investigation.

Societe Generale and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in an action pending in the US Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan brought by
the Trustee appointed for the liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (BLMIS). The action is similar to those brought
by the BLMIS Trustee against numerous institutions and seeks recovery of amounts allegedly received by the Societe Generale entities
indirectly from BLMIS through so-called “feeder funds” that were invested in BLMIS and from which the Societe Generale entities received
redemptions. The suit alleges that the amounts that the Societe Generale entities received are avoidable and recoverable under the US
Bankruptcy Code and New York state law. The BLMIS Trustee seeks to recover, in the aggregate, approximately USD 150 million from the
Societe Generale entities. The Societe Generale entities are defending the action. In decisions dated 22 November 2016 and 3 October
2018, the Court rejected most of the claims brought by the BLMIS Trustee. The Trustee appealed to the US Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit. By order dated 25 February 2019, the Second Circuit vacated the judgements and remanded for further proceedings.
On 1 June 2020, the United States Supreme Court denied Defendant-Appellees’ petition for a writ of certiorari. The case is now before the
Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. The Societe Generale defendants filed a motion to dismiss on 29 April 2022. The motion was
denied by order dated 7 October 2022. Discovery is proceeding.

On 10 July 2019, Societe Generale was named as a defendant in a litigation filed in the US District Court in Miami by plaintiffs seeking
compensation under the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity (Libertad) Act of 1996 (known as the Helms-Burton Act) stemming from
the expropriation by the Cuban government in 1960 of Banco Nunez in which they are alleged to have held an interest. Plaintiff claims
damages from Societe Generale under the terms of this statute. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on 24 September 2019 adding three
other banks as defendants and adding several new factual allegations as to Societe Generale. Societe Generale filed a motion to dismiss,
which was fully briefed as of 10 January 2020. While the motion to dismiss was pending, plaintiffs filed an unopposed motion on
29 January 2020, to transfer the case to federal court in Manhattan, which the court granted on 30 January 2020. Plaintiffs filed a second
amended complaint on 11 September 2020, in which it dropped the three other banks as defendants, added a different bank as an
additional defendant, and added as additional plaintiffs who purport to be heirs of the founders of Banco Nunez. The court granted
Societe Generale’s motion to dismiss on 22 December 2021 but permitted plaintiffs to replead their claims. On 25 February 2022, plaintiffs
filed an amended complaint, and on 11 April 2022, Societe Generale filed its motion to dismiss. By order entered 30 March 2023, the court
granted Societe Generale’s motion to dismiss. Plaintiffs have appealed.
201
On 9 November 2020, Societe Generale was named as a defendant, together with another bank, in a similar Helms-Burton litigation filed
in the US District Court in Manhattan (Pujol I) by the purported heirs of former owners, and personal representatives of estates of heirs or
former owners, of Banco Pujol, aCuban bank alleged to have been confiscated by the Cuban government in 1960. On 27 January 2021,
Societe Generale filed a motion to dismiss. In response, as permitted by the judge’s rules, plaintiffs chose to file an amended complaint
and did so on 26 February 2021. Societe Generale filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on 19 March 2021, which was granted
by the court on 24 November 2021. The court permitted plaintiffs to replead their claims. On 4 February 2022, plaintiffs filed an amended
complaint, and on 14 March 2022, Societe Generale filed its motion to dismiss, which was granted by the court on 23 January 2023.
Plaintiffs have appealed.
On 16 March 2021, Societe Generale was named as a defendant, together with another bank, in a nearly identical Helms-Burton litigation
filed in the US District Court in Manhattan (Pujol II) by the personal representative of one of the purported heirs to Banco Pujol who is also
a plaintiff in Pujol I. The case was stayed pending developments in Pujol I. At the parties’ request, following dismissal of Pujol I, the court
lifted the stay on Pujol II and entered an order dismissing the case for the same reasons it dismissed Pujol I. Plaintiff has appealed.

On 1 June 2021, a shareholder of Societe Generale initiated an action designated by him as a “derivative action” (action ut singuli) before
the Commercial Court of Paris against the CEO of the Company (Directeur Général), Mr. Frédéric Oudéa. Plaintiff is seeking an order that
Mr. Oudéa pay to Societe Generale an amount equal to fines paid to the U.S. and French treasuries under the “convention judiciaire
d’intérêt public” of 24 May 2018 between Societe Generale and the French Financial Public Prosecutor (the “CJIP”) and the Deferred
Prosecution Agreement of 5 June 2018 between SocieteGenerale and the United States Department of Justice (the “DPA”).
Societe Generale voluntarily joined these proceedings at the first procedural hearing in order to seek the dismissal of the claims made by
the plaintiff. Thereafter, the plaintiff filed a brief asking the court to dismiss the case with prejudice, and the parties asked the court to put
an end to these proceedings. By order dated 15 February 2022, the Commercial Court of Paris therefore took note of the termination of
the proceedings. This matter is therefore definitively over.

In the context of the sale of its Polish subsidiary Euro Bank to Bank Millennium on 31 May 2019 and of the indemnity granted to the latter
against certain risks, Societe Generale continues to monitor the evolution of court cases related to CHF-denominated or CHF-indexed
loans issued by Euro Bank.

Like other financial institutions, Societe Generale is subject to audits by the tax authorities regarding its securities lending/borrowing and
equity and index derivatives activities. The 2017, 2018 and 2019 audited years are the subject of notifications of proposals of tax
adjustments in respect of the application of a withholding tax. These proposals are contested by the Group. In parallel, given the
significance of the matter, on 30 March 2023, the French Banking Federation has brought proceedings against the tax administration’s
doctrine. In addition, further to raids conducted by the “parquet national financier” at the end of March 2023 at the premises of five banks
in Paris, among which Societe Generale, the latter has been informed that it was subject to a preliminary investigation pertaining to the
same issue. Societe Generale is defending the action.

On 19 August 2022, a Russian fertiliser company, EuroChem North West-2 (“EuroChem”), a wholly owned subsidiary of EuroChem AG, filed
a claim against Societe Generale S.A. and its Milan branch (“Societe Generale”) before English courts. This claim relates to five on-demand
bonds that Societe Generale issued to EuroChem in connection with a construction project in Kingisepp, Russia. On 4 August 2022,
EuroChem made demands under the guarantees. Societe Generale explained it was unable to honour the claims due to international
sanctions directly impacting the transactions, an assessment which EuroChem disputes. Societe Generale filed its defence submissions
on 1 November 2022, to which EuroChem replied on 13 December 2022. A case management conference (“CMC”) is expected to take place
on 26 September 2023.

SG Americas Securities, LLC (“SGAS”) received a request for information in December 2022 from the US Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) focused on compliance with record-keeping requirements in connection with business-related communications on
messaging platforms that were not approved by the firm. On 28 March 2023, SGAS and Societe Generale received a similar request from
the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). These inquiries follow a number of regulatory settlements in 2022 with other
firms covering similar matters. SGAS has reached a settlement with the SEC, and Societe Generale and SGAS have reached a settlement
with the CFTC. As of the date of this update, both settlements were pending formal regulatory approval.

NOTE 10 - RISK MANAGEMENT LINKED WITH FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Note 10 is solely disclosed in the financial statements for the purpose of updating the exposures of the credit portfolio and the reform of
interest rate benchmarks project.
The risks associated with financial instruments and the way in which the Group manages them are presented in chapter 3 of the Universal
Registration Document update for the first half of 2023.

NOTE 10.1 - REFORM OF INTEREST RATE BENCHMARKS

Presentation of the reform

The Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (also referred to as “IBOR reform” as IBORs = InterBank Offered Rates), initiated by the Financial
Stability Board in 2014, aims at replacing these benchmark rates with alternative rates, in particular the Risk-Free Rates (RFR). This reform
accelerated on 5 March 2021, when the British Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the supervisor of LIBOR, announced the official dates
for the cessation and loss of representativeness of the following interest rate benchmarks:
CHF LIBOR and EUR LIBOR (all terms); GBP LIBOR and JPY LIBOR (terms: overnight, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month); USD LIBOR (terms:
1-week and 2-month): the publication of these benchmark settings has permanently ceased as of 1 January 2022;
GBP LIBOR and JPY LIBOR (terms: 1-, 3- and 6-month): these settings have not been contributed by banks since 1 January 2022 and are or
have been published in a synthetic form as follows:
JPY LIBOR (terms: 1-, 3- and 6-month): till end December 2022,
GBP LIBOR (terms: 1- and 6-month): till end March 2023,
GBP LIBOR (term: 3-month): till end March 2024;
USD LIBOR (terms: overnight, 1-, 3-, 6- and 12-month): the publication of these benchmark settings as contributed by banks has ceased
as of 30 June 2023; since then, they have been published for the 1-, 3- and 6-month terms only, in synthetic form; the use of these synthetic
settings is restricted to the run-off management of legacy positions; and their transitional publication will cease on 30 September 2024.

Meanwhile, other USD LIBOR settings ceased end June 2023: USD LIBOR ICE SWAP RATE, MIFOR (India), PHIREF (Philippines), SOR
(Singapore) and THBFIX (Thailand).
The publication of the MosPrime rate has also ceased on 30 June 2023.
As regards the major benchmark indices of the euro area:
EURIBOR: the EMMI (European Money Markets Institute), administrator of the index, does not contemplate ceasing its publication.
EURIBOR will thus be maintained in the coming years;
EONIA: its publication completely ceased on 3 January 2022. The replacement benchmark index recommended by the working group on
interest rates in the euro area set up by the European Central Bank is the €STR on which the EONIA has been based since end 2019.

Impact of the reform on the Societe Generale group


The Societe Generale group supports these reforms and takes an active part in the working groups set up by the central banks of the
currencies concerned, and it maintains active liaison with the relevant supervisory authorities to keep them informed of the progress of
the working groups with regard to transition.
The Group has actively prepared for these changes, through a specific transition program set up in the Summer of 2018 and supervised
by the Finance division.
For this purpose, the Group has launched active awareness and communication campaigns for its customers, supplemented by a monthly
newsletter and a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page on the IBOR transition available to the public on the Societe Generale website.
To prepare for the cessation dates announced for LIBOR and other transitioning benchmarks, the public authorities and the working
groups set up by the central banks issued recommendations to the banking industry. These recommendations aim at stopping the

203
production of new contracts referencing these indices as well as at migrating the existing contracts referencing said indices to alternative
benchmark rates.
To ensure a consistent approach throughout the Societe Generale group, an internal Committee has been formed. Its role is to issue
periodical orientations reflecting both the market developments and the recommendations from regulators and their working groups.
Several internal guidelines have been issued covering four main themes:
strengthening of the new contracts through the inclusion of fallback clauses and risk warnings;
discontinuation of the production of new transactions referencing discontinued benchmarks (with some exceptions provided for by
regulators) and use of alternative solutions;
fair and homogenous treatment of customers through the involvement of the compliance teams in the renegotiations of contracts;
reporting obligation, and restrictions related to the use of certain interest rates as alternatives to LIBOR.
At this stage, all directives are being applied and widely circulated among the Group’s staff.
In order to build the capacity to deal on products referencing RFRs or some term RFRs and thus ensure the continuity of its business after
the phasing out of IBOR, the Societe Generale group updated its tools and processes in line with the major calculation methods
recommended by the relevant working groups or professional associations. Nevertheless, the Group continues monitoring developments
in the use of RFRs and other alternative rates in order to implement any new convention and meet its customers’ needs.

Migration of USD LIBOR, USD LIBOR ICE SWAP RATE and other benchmarks (MIFOR, PHIREF, SOR, THBFIX and MosPrime).

At end June 2023, the Societe Generale group has completed over 99% of its legal migration of the contracts indexed on the benchmarks
terminated or not representative anymore at that time. Remainders are mainly contracts still being renegotiated as at 30 June and for
which using the synthetic USD LIBOR will allow the renegotiation to be concluded in 2023 or, at the latest, before the cessation date of the
synthetic LIBOR.
Depending on the products, the migration took place mostly according to four major modalities:
Loans and credit facilities were subject to individual renegotiations; likewise for the related hedging instruments in order to maintain their
effectiveness.
Most derivative products were migrated on the initiative of clearing houses or through activation of their fallback indices clauses (protocol
set up by the ISDA and to which the Societe Generale group subscribed in October 2020). Some derivatives products have however been
renegotiated bilaterally.
The vast majority of issuances was migrated via the activation of the contractual fallback indices clauses or, by way of exception, following
agreement by the shareholders.
For some products (typically current accounts and similar), the migration was implemented through an update of the general terms and
conditions.

It is to be noted that, for some types of contracts, the operational migration will take place at the end of the ongoing interest period at 30
June 2023 and, consequently, exposures on pre-June 2023 fixings of USD LIBOR and other indices will still appear beyond 30 June 2023
pending these migrations.

204
Risks associated with the reference rate reform

The risks associated with the interbank benchmark rates were mostly related to the USD LIBOR for the period until June 2023.

The June term for the USD LIBOR, and the existence of a synthetic USD LIBOR until September 2024 involve a significant reduction in the
previously identified risks.:

program governance and execution risk, liable to cause delays and loss of opportunities, is monitored as part of the work of regular
Committees and arbitration bodies;
legal documentation risk, liable to lead to post-transition litigations, is managed through fallback clauses inserted in the contracts
depending on the availability of market standards;
market risk, with the creation of a basis risk between rate curves associated with different indexes: it decreased on the old indices
following the migration of transactions and is now related only marginally to positions indexed on the Term SOFR and synthetic USD
LIBOR;
operational risks in the execution of the migration of transactions depend in particular on the willingness and preparedness of our
counterparties, the volume of transactions to be migrated and their spread over time;
regulatory risk is managed according to the Societe Generale group guidelines in line with the recommendations of the regulators and
working groups on the LIBOR transition;
conduct risk, related to the end of LIBOR, is notably managed through:
specific guidelines on the appropriate conduct detailed by business line,
training of the teams,
communications to customers (conferences, events, bilateral discussions in particular with the less informed customers) are organised
on the transition-related risks, the alternative solutions that may be implemented, and on how they might be affected.

205
NOTE 10.2 - EXPOSURE OF THE CREDIT PORTFOLIO

In this section, the measurement used for credit exposures is the EAD – Exposure at Default (on-and off-balance sheet). Under the
Standardised Approach, EAD is calculated net of collateral and provisions.

SECTOR BREAKDOWN OF “GROUP CORPORATE” EXPOSURE AS AT 30 JUNE 2023 (BASEL PORTFOLIO)

Financial services 6.9%


Real estate 3.1%
Utilities 2.7%
Manufacturing industries 2.3%
Telecoms, media and technology 2.0%
Agriculture, food industry 2.0%
Automotive 1.7%
Heavy industry and mining 1.6%
B2B and B2C services 1.4%
Oil and Gas 1.4%
Others 1.4%
Construction & Civil Engineering 1.2%
Retail trade excluding automotive 1.1%

Hotels, Restaurants, Tourism, Leisure 0.5%
0.0% 0.1% 0.2% 0.3% 0.4% 0.5% 0.6% 0.7% 0.8%

EAD of the Corporate portfolio is presented in accordance with the Basel rules (large corporates, including insurance companies, funds
and hedge funds, SMEs, specialised financing, factoring businesses), based on the obligor’s characteristics, before taking into account the
substitution effect (credit risk scope: debtor, issuer and replacement risk).

As at 30 June 2023, the Corporate portfolio amounted to EUR 398 billion (on- and off-balance sheet exposures measured in EAD). Two
sectors account for more than 30% of this portfolio each (Financial services and Real Estate). The Group’s exposure to its ten largest
Corporate counterparties accounts for 6% of this portfolio.

Statutory auditors’ review report on the half-yearly financial information

To the Shareholders,

In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your Annual General Meeting, and in accordance with the requirements of Article
L. 451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier), we hereby report to you on:

• the review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of Société Générale, for the period from
January 1 to June 30, 2023;

• the verification of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.

These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a
conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.

1. Conclusion on the financial statements


We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A review of interim financial information consists
of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review
procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France
and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified
in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly
consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 – standard of the IFRSs as adopted
by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.

207
2. Observation
Notwithstanding the conclusion expressed above, we would like to draw your attention to paragraph 4 of note 1 "Significant accounting
principles" and to note 4.3 "Insurance activities" which set out the impact related to the first applications of IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”
and IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” by the insurance subsidiaries.

3. Specific verification
We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial
statements subject to our review.

We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.

6.2 Internal rules of the Board of Directors of Societe Generale (amended on
2 August 2023)
Preamble:

The Board of Directors collectively represents all shareholders and acts in the corporate interest of Societe Generale (the "Company"),
taking into consideration the social and environmental stakes of its activity. Each director, regardless of the manner in which he/she was
appointed, must act in all circumstances in the Company's corporate interest.

Societe Generale applies the AFEP-MEDEF corporate governance code for listed companies.

As a credit institution listed on a regulated market, Societe Generale is subject to the provisions of the regulations, directives and other
European texts applicable to the banking and financial sectors, the French Commercial Code, the French Monetary and Financial Code
and the recommendations or guidelines of the European Banking Authority (the "EBA") included in national law, the French Prudential
Supervisory and Resolution Authority (the "ACPR") and the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (the "AMF").

The purpose of these Internal Rules is to define the Board of Directors' organisation and operating procedures and to specify the rights
and obligations of its members (the "Internal Rules").

The Board of Directors ensures that Societe Generale has a solid governance system including, in particular, a clear organisation ensuring
a well-defined, transparent and coherent sharing of responsibilities, effective procedures for the detection, management, monitoring and
reporting of risks to which the Company is or could be exposed, an adequate internal control system, sound administrative and
accounting procedures and compensation policies and practices enabling and promoting sound and effective risk management.

Article 1 : Powers of the Board of Directors

1.1. The Board of Directors shall deliberate on any issue falling within its legal or regulatory powers and devote sufficient time to perform
its tasks.

1.2. The Board of Directors is competent to act in the following (non-exhaustive) areas:

a) Orientations for the Group's activity

General orientations

The Board of Directors determines the orientations for the Group's activity, ensures their implementation by General Management
and reviews them at least once a year; these orientations incorporate the values and the Code of Conduct of the Group, which it approves,
as well as the main thrusts of the policy adopted with respect to social and environmental responsibility, human resources, information
systems and organisation;

Orientations in respect of social and environmental responsibility

Multi-year social and environmental responsibility orientations are decided by the Board of Directors on the basis of a proposition
from General Management which is reviewed by the non-voting Director (“censeur”). The proposition is previously reviewed: by the Risk
Committee in respect of the risk aspects, the Compensation Committee with regard to the compensation aspects pertaining to the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officers (“dirigeants mandataires sociaux”), and the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee
concerning governance questions (including internal governance of the Group). In addition, the Audit and Internal Control Committee
reviews all financial and extra-financial communication documentation relating to social and environmental responsibility before it is
submitted to the Board of Directors for approval.

General Management presents to the Board of Directors the manner in which it will implement this strategy, with an action plan and
the time frames in which these actions will be rolled out. General Management informs the Board of Directors of the results obtained on
an annual basis.

210
On climate, the strategy comprises a number of precise targets to be achieved over various time frames. The Board of Directors
examines each year the results obtained and the opportunity, where appropriate, to adapt the action plan or modify the objectives
notably in light of developments in the corporate strategy, technologies, shareholders’ expectations and the economic viability of
implementing them. This assessment is subject to preparatory work by the non-voting Director and each of the committees that have
reviewed the Management Board's proposal on the multi-year strategic orientations in terms of social and environmental responsibility.

b) Strategic transactions

• approves the plans for strategic transactions, in particular acquisitions or disposals, that may have a significant impact on the
Group's earnings, its balance-sheet structure or its risk profile.

This prior approval process concerns:

- organic growth transactions of a unit amount higher than EUR 250 million and not already approved as part of the annual
budget or the strategic plan;
- external growth transactions of a unit amount higher than EUR 500 million or higher than EUR 250 million if these
transactions do not fall within the development priorities approved in the strategic plan;
- disposal transactions of a unit amount higher than EUR 250 million;
- partnership transactions with a compensation (“soulte”) of an amount higher than EUR 250 million;
- transactions substantially degrading the Group's risk profile.

The Chairman shall assess, on a case-by-case basis, the appropriateness of a referral to the Board of Directors to deliberate on a
transaction that does not fall under the aforementioned circumstances.

During each Board of Directors' meeting, an update is made on the transactions concluded since the previous meeting, as well
as on the main projects in progress and likely to be concluded before the next Board of Directors' meeting.

c) Risk management and control

The Board of Directors:

• approves the overall strategy and the appetite in terms of risks of any kind 1 and controls the implementation, including

proportion of 50% independent directors1. To this end, the Board of Directors, in the report of its Nomination and Corporate Governance
Committee, conducts an annual review of the situation of each of its members with regard to the independence criteria defined in the
AFEP-MEDEF Code.

2.3. The Board of Directors verifies that the candidates proposed for renewal or appointment meet the conditions of competence and
suitability and have the time necessary to perform their duties. The Board of Directors strives to comply with all of the conditions laid

executive directorship.

members of the Risk Committee and the members of the Audit and Internal Control Committee gathered as the US Risk Committee. This
amount is distributed in equal portions, except for the Chairman of the Risk Committee, who has two portions.

The balance is then reduced by a lump sum of €130,000 distributed between the Chairman of the Audit and Internal Control Committee

Article 19 : Personally-owned shares

Each Director appointed by the General Meeting (whether in his/her own name or as a permanent representative of a legal entity) must
hold at least 2,000 Societe Generale shares. Each Director has a six month timeframe to hold the 600 shares provided for by the By-laws,
followed by an additional six month timeframe to increase his/her holding to at least 1,000 shares. Later, the number of shares held by
each Director must rise to 2,000 before the end of the month of February of the year his/her term of office expires. The Director
representing employee shareholders appointed pursuant to Article L. 225-23 of the French Commercial Code is not bound by the terms of
the present paragraph. In the event that a Director is co-opted, the duty to acquire 600 and subsequently 1,000 shares applies from the
starting date of the co-optation without, however, this holding having to be increased to 2,000 shares at the date of the General Meeting
of Shareholders convened to ratify said Director’s appointment.

The Board of Directors sets a minimum number of shares that the Chief Executive Officers must hold in registered form until the end of
their functions. This decision shall be reviewed at least each time their term of office is renewed. Until this shareholding objective is
