DESCRIPTION OF THE SHARE BUY-BACK PROGRAMME

2. Maximum amount allocated to the share buy-back programme, maximum number and characteristics of shares, maximum purchase price

The resolution proposed to the General Meeting provides that Societe Generale may purchase its ordinary shares up to 10% of the total number of shares.

The maximum purchase price would be set at EUR 150 per share, i.e. a potential maximum amount allocated to the programme of EUR 11,165,913,150.

This maximum amount is likely to change in case of transactions impacting its share capital. In addition, in application of the regulation, the number of shares directly owned by Societe Generale may not exceed, at any time, 10% of the share capital.

Societe Generale may acquire on the date of this description 60,080,010 shares representing 8.1% of its share capital, i.e. a maximum theoretical amount to date of EUR 9,012,001,500 based on the maximum repurchase price of EUR 150 per share.
