3. INTERESTS OF NATURAL AND LEGAL PERSONS INVOLVED IN THE ISSUE

Save for any fees payable to the Managers, so far as the Issuer is aware, no person involved in the issue of the Notes has an interest material to the offer.

4. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND ESTIMATED TOTAL EXPENSES

(i) Reasons for the offer: The net proceeds from the issue of the Notes will be allocated to finance and/or refinance eligible assets, in whole or in part, which comply with Société Générale's positive impact internal eligibility criteria.

Positive impact finance eligible assets are mainly

renewable energy. Renewable energy assets may include, but are not limited to, financing of or refinancing of loans in conception, construction and installation of renewable energy production units. These renewable energy assets are for descriptive purposes only and no assurance can be provided that the net proceeds of the Notes will be allocated to finance and/or refinance positive impact finance eligible assets with these specific characteristics during the term of the Notes.

As long as any of the Notes is outstanding, the Issuer will do its best effort to (i) allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds of the Notes to the financing and/or the refinancing positive impact finance eligible assets, and (ii) substitute any redeemed loans and/or loans that would no longer be eligible by other positive impact finance eligible assets.

Pending the allocation in positive impact finance eligible assets or should there be unallocated proceeds, the Issuer reserves its right to invest such unallocated proceeds in short term investments.

Payment of principal and interest in respect of the Notes will be made from general funds of the Issuer and will not, nor intends to be directly or indirectly linked to the performance of any positive impact finance eligible assets.

As long as any Note is outstanding, the Issuer undertakes to provide any Noteholder with an annual reporting regarding (i) allocation of net proceeds of the Notes to the financing and/or the refinancing of positive impact finance eligible assets and (ii) climate benefits based on ex-ante estimates of aggregated expected climate results. Such annual reporting will be reviewed by an independent auditor and published on the Issuer's website
