In particular, no action has been taken by the Issuer or any of the Joint Lead Managers which is intended to permit a public offering of any Notes or distribution of this Prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required.

The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), nor with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes may not be offered, sold or delivered directly or indirectly, within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act (the "Regulation S")). Accordingly, the Notes will be offered and sold outside the United States to non U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S. This Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that any offer of the Notes in the United Kingdom (the "UK") will be made pursuant to an exemption under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA") (the "UK Prospectus Regulation") from a requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of Notes. This Prospectus is not a prospectus for the purpose of the UK Prospectus Regulation. PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS - The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (the "EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or both) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation. 2 PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK RETAIL INVESTORS – The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom ("UK"). For these purposes, a "retail investor" means a person who is one (or both) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act ("FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation. EU MiFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS AND ELIGIBLE COUNTERPARTIES ONLY TARGET MARKET – Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer’s product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes, taking into account the five (5) categories referred to in item 19 of the Guidelines published by the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") on 3 August 2023, has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers’ target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers’ target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels. UK MIFIR PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS AND ELIGIBLE COUNTERPARTIES ONLY TARGET MARKET – Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer’s product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is only eligible counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook ("COBS"), and professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("UK MiFIR"); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers’ target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules") is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers’ target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels. The Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors Each potential investor in the Notes must determine the suitability of that investment in light of such investor's own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should: (i) have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Notes, the merits and risks of investing in the Notes and the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus; (ii) have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its particular financial situation, an investment in the Notes and the impact such investment will have on its overall investment portfolio; (iii) have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Notes, including where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the potential investor’s currency; (iv) understand thoroughly the terms of the Notes; and (v) be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the relevant risks. Some potential investors are subject to restricting investment laws and regulations. These potential investors should consult their legal counsel in order to determine whether investment in the Notes is authorised by law, whether such investment is compatible with their other borrowings and whether other selling restrictions are applicable to them. Financial institutions should consult their legal counsel or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of the Notes under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules. Taxation Potential purchasers and sellers of the Notes should be aware that they may be required to pay taxes or other documentary charges or duties in accordance with the laws and practices of the country where the Notes are transferred or other jurisdictions. In some jurisdictions, no official statements of the tax authorities or court decisions may be available for financial instruments such as the Notes. Potential investors are advised to ask for their own tax adviser's advice on their individual taxation with respect to the acquisition, holding, sale and redemption of the Notes. Only these advisers are in a position to duly consider the specific situation of the potential investor. 3 Absence of rating Neither the Notes nor the long term debt of the Issuer are rated. One or more independent credit rating agencies may assign credit ratings to the Notes. The ratings may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to structure, market, additional risk factors discussed below, and other factors that may affect the value of the Notes. A rating or the absence of a rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS RISK FACTORS ............................................................................................................................................................... 6 DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE ............................................................................................... 12 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES .......................................................................................................... 16 USE OF PROCEEDS ..................................................................................................................................................... 27 DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUER................................................................................................................................ 28 RECENT DEVELOPMENTS ....................................................................................................................................... 29 SUBSCRIPTION AND SALE........................................................................................................................................ 30 GENERAL INFORMATION ........................................................................................................................................ 33 PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE PROSPECTUS ......................... 35 5 RISK FACTORS The Issuer believes that the following factors may affect its ability to fulfil its obligations under the Notes and may be material for the purpose of assessing the market risks associated with the Notes are also described below. All of these factors are contingencies which may or may not occur. Factors which the Issuer believes are specific to the Issuer and/or the Notes and material for an informed investment decision with respect to investing in the Notes are also described below. The following are certain risk factors relating to the Issuer and the Notes of which prospective investors should be aware. Prior to making an investment decision, prospective investors should consider carefully all the information set out and incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, including in particular the risk factors detailed below, and consult with their own financial and legal advisors as to the risks entailed by an investment in the Notes. The following statements are not exhaustive and there may be other risks, either wholly or partly unknown or of which the occurrence is not considered as at the date hereof to be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Issuer, its operations, its financial situation and/or its results, which could have an effect on the Issuer's ability to fulfil its obligations under the Notes. In addition, investors should be aware that the risks described may be combined and thus interrelated with one another. Prospective investors should make their own independent evaluations of all investment considerations and should also read the detailed information set out elsewhere in this Prospectus. In each sub-category below, the most material risk factors are listed below in a manner that is consistent with the Issuer’s assessment of the expected magnitude of their negative impact and the probability of their occurrence. Terms defined in the section "Terms and Conditions of the Notes" of this Prospectus shall have the same meaning where used below. 1. Risks relating to the Issuer Risks factors linked to the Issuer and its activity are described in pages 60 to 69 of the 2024 Universal Registration Document which is incorporated by reference herein, and include the following: - operational risks (including cybersecurity and information systems failure risk, volatility risk, macroeconomic, geopolitical and regulatory risks, compliance risk and fraud, risk related to attracting and retaining talent and risk related to the ability to meet the logistical expectations of customers); - industrial and environmental risks (including risk related to adaptation to new product regulations, risk related to maintaining the competitiveness of plants, risk of business interruption, risk related to the environment and global warming, risk related to employee health and safety and risk related to consumer health and safety); and - strategic risks (including risk related to innovation and intellectual property, risk associated with changes in the distribution industry, image and reputational risk and risk related to competition and concentration in the Small Domestic Equipment market). 2. Risks relating to the Notes (a) Risks related to the particular structure of the Notes The Notes are not protected by restrictive covenants and the Issuer may incur additional indebtedness The Notes do not restrict the Issuer from incurring additional debt. As contemplated in Condition 3, the Terms and Conditions of the Notes contain a negative pledge that prohibits the Issuer and its Material Subsidiaries in certain circumstances from creating security over assets, but only to the extent that such is used to secure other notes or similar listed (or capable of being listed) or quoted debt instruments and unless at the same time, or prior thereto, the Notes are equally and rateably secured therewith. Therefore, debt of the Issuer or any Material 6 Subsidiary under credit facilities or any other debt that is not in the form of notes or similar listed (or capable of being listed) on a regulated market or another assimilated market can be secured without the obligation to secure the Notes on an equal and rateable basis. The Terms and Conditions of the Notes do not contain any other covenants restricting the operations of the Issuer, or its ability to distribute dividends. The Issuer’s Subsidiaries are not bound by obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and are not guarantors of the Notes. The Issuer and its Material Subsidiaries may incur significant additional debt that could be considered senior to, or rank equally with, the Notes. The absence of limitation on issuing further debt may not provide sufficient protection for Noteholders which could materially and negatively impact the Noteholders and increase the risk of losing all or part of their investment in the Notes. The Notes may be redeemed prior to maturity In the event that the Issuer would be obliged to pay additional amounts in respect of any Notes due to any withholding as provided in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes - Redemption for Taxation Reasons", the Issuer may and, in certain circumstances shall, redeem all of the Notes then outstanding in accordance with such Condition. The Terms and Conditions of the Notes also provide that the Notes are redeemable at the option of the Issuer in certain other circumstances (see "Terms and Conditions of the Notes - Make-whole redemption option", "Terms and Conditions of the Notes - Pre-maturity call option" and "Terms and Conditions of the Notes - Clean up call option") and, accordingly, the Issuer may choose to redeem the Notes at times when prevailing interest rates may be relatively low. Any early redemption of the Notes may result, for the Noteholders, in a yield that is considerably lower than anticipated. In addition, Noteholders may not be able to reinvest the moneys they receive upon such early redemption in securities with the same yield as the redeemed Notes. In particular, with respect to the Clean up Call Option, there is no obligation on the Issuer to inform Noteholders if and when 75% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding have been, or are about to be, redeemed or purchased and cancelled, and the Issuer’s right to redeem will exist notwithstanding that immediately prior to the serving of a notice in respect of the exercise of the Clean up Call Option, the Notes may have been trading significantly above par, thus potentially resulting in a loss of profit in connection with the Notes. The early redemption at the option of the Issuer may affect negatively the market value of the Notes. During any period when the Issuer may (or may be expected to) elect to redeem the Notes, the market value of the Notes generally will not rise substantially above the price at which they can be redeemed. The Issuer may choose to redeem the Notes at times when prevailing interest rates may be relatively low. In such circumstances a Noteholder may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as that of the relevant Notes and may only be able to reinvest at a significantly lower rate. The price at which a Noteholder will be able to sell the Notes prior to maturity may be at a discount, which could be substantial, from the issue price or the purchase price paid by such purchaser. Furthermore, the exercise of the Make-whole Redemption Option by the Issuer, pursuant to Condition 5(c), may be subject to certain refinancing conditions referred to in the notice published by the Issuer in connection thereto. Should the refinancing condition, if applicable, not be satisfied, the notice of exercise of the Make- Whole Redemption Option by the Issuer will be revoked and the Notes will not be redeemed, which may have a negative impact on the Noteholders as the market price of the Notes is likely to fall below the expected Make- whole Redemption Amount. All of the above may cause the investment in the Notes to be less profitable than expected for Noteholders. In such case, Noteholders carry no risk of capital loss, but a decrease in the gain that the Notes could have brought them. Exercise of put option or notice of event of default in respect of certain Notes may affect the liquidity of the Notes in respect of which such put option is not exercised or a notice of Event of Default is not given In the event of a Change of Control of the Issuer (as more fully described in "Terms and Conditions of the 7 Notes - Change of Control"), each Noteholder will have the right to request the Issuer to redeem all or part of its Notes at their principal amount together with any accrued interest thereon. In the event of an Event of Default, each Noteholder will have the right at its sole option to request the Issuer to redeem all the Notes (but not some only) held by it at their principal amount together with any accrued interest (subject to certain conditions, all as more fully described "Terms and Conditions of the Notes – Events of Default"). Depending on the number of Notes in respect of which the put option is exercised or in respect of which notice of an Event of Default is given as provided in Condition 9, any trading market in respect of those Notes in respect of which such put option is not exercised or no notice of Event of Default is given may become illiquid. Therefore, Noteholders not having exercised their put option or not having given their notice of Event of Default may not be able to sell their Notes on the market and may have to wait until the Maturity Date to obtain redemption of their investments in the Notes, which may have a negative impact on the Noteholders and reduce the profits anticipated by the Noteholders at the time of the issue. As a result, a Noteholder may not be able to resell its Notes without incurring a significant discount from the nominal value of the Notes. In addition, Noteholders having exercised their put option may not be able to reinvest the moneys they receive upon such early redemption in securities with the same yield as the redeemed Notes. Exercise of the Make-whole Redemption Option by the Issuer in respect of the Notes may affect the liquidity of the Notes in respect of which such option is not exercised The Issuer has the option to exercise the Make-whole Redemption Option in part (as more fully described in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes - Make-whole redemption option "). If the Issuer decides to redeem the Notes in part, such partial redemption shall be effected by the application of a pool factor (corresponding to a reduction of the nominal amount of all such Notes in proportion to the aggregate nominal amount redeemed) on such day. Depending on the aggregate nominal amount of Notes so redeemed, any trading market in respect of these Notes may become illiquid. In addition, Noteholders may only be able to reinvest the moneys they receive upon such early redemption in securities with a lower yield than the redeemed Notes. Purchases by the Issuer in the open market or otherwise (including by tender and/or exchange offer) in respect of certain Notes may affect the liquidity of the Notes which have not been so purchased Depending on the number of Notes purchased by the Issuer (as more fully described in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes - Purchases"), any trading market in respect of those Notes that have not been so purchased may become illiquid. Therefore, Noteholders still holding the Notes after such purchase(s) may not be able to resell their Notes on the market without incurring a significant discount from the nominal value of the Notes, which may have a negative impact on the Noteholders and reduce the profits anticipated by the Noteholders at the time of the issue. 8 Interest rate risks for fixed rate notes As provided in Condition 4, the Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.625 per cent. per annum, payable annually in arrear on 24 June in each year commencing on 24 June 2026. As a result, an investment in the Notes involves the risk that interest rates subsequently increase above the rate paid on the Notes and that an equivalent investment issued at the then current market interest rate may be more attractive to investors, this may adversely affect the value of the Notes. Generally, prices of fixed interest rate notes tend to fall when market interest rates rise and accordingly are subject to volatility. The price of the Notes at any particular time may be lower than the purchase price for the Notes paid by the Noteholders and may cause Noteholders to lose a portion of their investment if they decide to sell the Notes. Therefore, investment in the Notes involves the risk that subsequent changes in market interest rates may adversely affect the value and the yield of the Notes and Noteholders may receive lower return on the Notes than anticipated at the time of the issue. (b) Risks relating to the market of the Notes Market value of the Notes The market value of the Notes will be affected by the creditworthiness of the Issuer and a number of additional factors, including market interest, yield rates and the time remaining to the Maturity Date. The value of the Notes depends on a number of interrelated factors, including economic, financial and political events in France or elsewhere, including factors affecting capital markets generally and Euronext Paris on which the Notes are traded. The price at which a Noteholder will be able to sell the Notes may be at a discount, which could be substantial, from the issue price or the purchase price paid by such purchaser, which could materially negatively impact the Noteholders. Accordingly, all or part of the investment by the Noteholder in the Notes may be lost upon any transfer of the Notes, so that the Noteholder in such case would receive significantly less than the total amount of its investment. No active secondary market for the Notes Application has been made to Euronext Paris for the Notes to be admitted to trading on Euronext Paris as from the Issue Date. However, Notes may have no established trading market when issued, and one may never develop. If a market does develop, it may not be liquid. Therefore, Noteholders may not be able to sell their Notes in the secondary market in which case the market or trading price and liquidity may be adversely affected or at prices that provide them with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market. Illiquidity may have an adverse effect on the market value of Notes. Noteholders selling their Notes prior to their Maturity Date (i.e. 24 June 2030) may incur losses as a result thereof. The development or continued liquidity of any secondary market for the Notes will be affected by a number of factors such as general economic conditions, the financial condition, the creditworthiness of the Issuer and/or the Group, the outstanding amount of the Notes, any redemption features of the Notes as specified in Condition 5 and the level, direction and volatility of interest rates generally. Such factors also will affect substantially the market value of the Notes. The yield of the Notes as at the Issue Date is 3.724 per cent. per annum. However, Noteholders may not be able to sell their Notes in the secondary market (in which case the market or trading price and liquidity may be adversely affected) or may not be able to sell their Notes at prices that will provide them with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market. Hence, the Noteholders may receive a lower yield than anticipated at the time of the issue. (c) Risks related to legal matters Credit Risk of the Issuer As contemplated in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes - Status", the obligations of the Issuer in respect of principal, interest and other amounts payable under the Notes constitute direct, unconditional, (subject to 9 Condition 3) unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer. The Noteholders are exposed to the credit risk of the Issuer. Credit risk refers to the risk that the Issuer may be unable to meet its financial obligations under the Notes. If the creditworthiness of the Issuer deteriorates and notwithstanding the provisions set out in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes - Events of Default" which enable the Noteholders to request the redemption of the Notes, if any of the Events of Default occurs, the Issuer may not be able to fulfil all or part of its payment obligations under the Notes, which could materially and negatively impact the Noteholders which may lose all or part of their investment. French Insolvency Law As a société anonyme incorporated in France, French insolvency laws apply to the Issuer. In the event that the Issuer becomes insolvent, insolvency proceedings will be generally governed by the insolvency laws of France to the extent that, where applicable, the "centre of main interests" (as construed under Regulation (EU) 2015/848, as amended) of the Issuer is located in France. The Directive (EU) 2019/1023 on preventive restructuring frameworks, on discharge of debt and disqualifications, and on measures to increase the efficiency of procedures concerning restructuring, insolvency and discharge of debt, and amending Directive (EU) 2017/1132 has been transposed into French law by the Ordonnance 2021-1193 dated 15 September 2021. According to this ordonnance, "affected parties" (including notably creditors, and therefore the Noteholders) shall be treated in separate classes which reflect certain class formation criteria for the purpose of adopting a restructuring plan. Classes shall be formed in such a way that each class comprises claims or interests with rights that reflect a sufficient commonality of interest based on verifiable criteria. Noteholders will not deliberate on the proposed restructuring plan in a separate assembly, meaning that they will not benefit from a specific veto power on this plan. Instead, as any other affected parties, the Noteholders will be grouped into one or several classes (with potentially other types of creditors) and their dissenting vote may be overridden by a cross-class cram down. This limitation could have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Noteholders to recover their investments in the Notes. The decision of each class is taken by a two-third (2/3rd) majority of the voting rights of the participating members, no quorum being required. If the restructuring plan is not approved by all classes of affected parties, it can still be ratified by the court at the request of the Issuer or the receiver with the Issuer's consent and be imposed on dissenting classes through a cross-class cram down, under certain conditions. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions relating to the Representation of the Noteholders described in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes set out in this Prospectus will not be applicable to the extent they conflict with compulsory insolvency law provisions that apply in these circumstances. Should such proceedings be opened, the commencement of insolvency proceedings against the Issuer would have a material adverse effect on the market value of Notes issued by the Issuer. Despite the fact that any decisions taken by the Assembly or a class of creditor, as the case may be, could negatively impact the Noteholders and cause them to lose all or part of their investment, should they not be able to recover amounts due to them from the Issuer. Modification of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes The Terms and Conditions of the Notes contain provisions for Noteholders to consider matters affecting their interests generally to be adopted either through a general meeting or following a written consultation (as more fully described in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes - Representation of the Noteholders"). These provisions permit defined majorities to bind all Noteholders including Noteholders who did not attend and vote at the relevant general meeting, or did not consent to the written consultation or Noteholders who voted in a manner contrary to the majority. General meetings or written consultations may deliberate on any proposal relating to the modification of the conditions of the Notes subject to the limitations provided by French law. If a decision is adopted by a majority of Noteholders and such modifications were to impair or limit the rights of the Noteholders, this may have a negative impact on the market value of the Notes. By exception to the above provisions, Condition 11(g) provides that (i) the provisions of Article L.228-65 I. 1°, 4° and 6° of the French Code de commerce (respectively providing for a prior approval of the General Meeting of the Noteholders of any change in corporate purpose or form of the Issuer or of an issue of bonds 10 conferring a security interest constituting a sûreté réelle the Noteholders will not benefit from under the Notes or of any plan to relocate the Issuer’s registered office to another Member State to the extent the Issuer is incorporated as a société européenne (societas europeas)) and the related provisions of the French Code de commerce shall not apply to the Notes and (ii) the provisions of Article L.228-65 I. 3° of the French Code de commerce (providing for a prior approval of the Noteholders in relation to any proposal to merge or demerge the Issuer in the cases referred to in Articles L. 236-14 and L. 236-23 of the French Code de commerce) shall not apply to the Notes only to the extent that such proposal relates to a merger or demerger with another entity of the Group. As a result of these exclusions, the prior approval of the Noteholders will not have to be obtained on any such matters which may affect their interests generally. 11 DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE This Prospectus shall be read and construed in conjunction with the following documents and the information referred to in the cross-reference table below which are incorporated in, and shall be deemed to form part of, this Prospectus: (a) the sections referred to in the table below of the English language version of the press release of the Issuer "First-quarter 2025 sales and financial data" dated 24 April 2025 (the "First Quarter 2025 Results Press Release"); Hyperlink - https://www.groupeseb.com/sites/default/files/sites/default/files/PR-GroupeSEB- 2025_First-quarter_sales_and_financial_data-24042025.pdf (b) the sections referred to in the table below of the French language version of the 2024 universal registration document (document d'enregistrement universel 2024) of the Issuer, including the audited consolidated financial statements of the Issuer as at, and for the year ended 31 December 2024, the related notes thereto and the associated audit reports (the "2024 Universal Registration Document") which was filed with the AMF on 3 April 2025 under the registration no.

The Issuer has entered into a fiscal agency agreement dated 20 June 2025 (the "Fiscal Agency Agreement") with Uptevia as fiscal agent, paying agent, calculation agent and put agent (the "Fiscal Agent", the "Paying Agent", the "Calculation Agent" and the "Put Agent" which expressions shall, where the context so admits, include any successor for the time being as fiscal agent, paying agent, calculation agent or put agent).

(b) Interest Payments Each Note will cease to bear interest from the due date for redemption, unless payment of principal is improperly withheld or refused on such date. In such event, interest on such Note shall continue to accrue at the rate of 3.625 per cent. per annum (both before and after judgment) until the calendar day (included) on which all sums due in respect of such Note up to that day are received by or on behalf of the relevant Noteholder. If interest is required to be calculated for a period of less than one year, it will be calculated on an actual/actual basis for each period, that is to say the actual number of calendar days elapsed during the relevant period divided by 365 (or by 366 if a February 29 is included in such period), the result being rounded to the nearest cent (half a cent being rounded upwards). 5. Redemption and Purchase The Notes may not be redeemed otherwise than in accordance with this Condition 5, Condition 8 or Condition 9. (a) Final Redemption Unless previously redeemed or purchased and cancelled, the Notes will be redeemed by the Issuer at their principal amount on the Maturity Date. (b) Redemption for Taxation Reasons (i) If, by reason of a change in any law or regulation of France, or any change in the official application or interpretation of such law or regulation, becoming effective after the Issue Date, the Issuer would, on the occasion of the next payment of principal or interest due in respect of the Notes, not be able to make such payment without having to pay additional amounts (whether in respect of some of, or all, the Notes) as specified in Condition 7, the Issuer may at its sole discretion, at any time, subject to having given not more than sixty (60) nor less than thirty (30) calendar days' prior notice to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 12 (which notice shall be irrevocable), redeem all, but not some only, of the Notes outstanding at their principal amount, together with all interest accrued to, but excluding, the date set for redemption, provided that the due date for redemption of which notice hereunder may be given shall be no earlier than the latest practicable date on which the Issuer could make payment of principal or interest without withholding for French taxes or, if such date has passed, as soon as practicable thereafter. (ii) If the Issuer would on the next payment of principal or interest in respect of the Notes be prevented by French law from making payment to the Noteholders of the full amount then due and payable, notwithstanding the undertaking to pay additional amounts contained in Condition 7, then the Issuer shall forthwith give notice of such fact to the Fiscal Agent and the Issuer shall, subject to having given not less than seven (7) calendar days' prior notice to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 12 (which notice shall be irrevocable), redeem all, but not some only, of the Notes at their principal amount, together with all interest accrued to, but excluding, the date set for redemption of which notice hereunder may be given, provided that the due date for redemption shall be no earlier than the latest practicable date on which the Issuer could make payment of the full amount of principal or interest payable in respect of the Notes without withholding for French taxes or, if such date has passed, as soon as practicable thereafter. 18 (c) Make-whole redemption option The Issuer may, subject to (i) the satisfaction of any refinancing conditions to which the redemption is subject (if any), (ii) compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and directives and (iii) having given not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) calendar days' notice to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 12 (a "Make-whole Redemption Notice") (which notice shall specify (x) the Make-whole Redemption Date (as defined below), (y) in the case of a partial redemption of the Notes, the principal amount per Note so elected to be redeemed by the Issuer in its sole discretion, and (z) the refinancing conditions to which the redemption is subject (if any) or shall otherwise be irrevocable), redeem the Notes then outstanding, in whole or in part (and in any such case, on one or more occasions), at any time prior to the Pre-Maturity Call Option Date (each such date, a "Make-whole Redemption Date") at their relevant Make-whole Redemption Amount (the "Make-whole Redemption Option"). All Notes in respect of which any Make-whole Redemption Notice is given shall be redeemed on the relevant Make-whole Redemption Date in accordance with this Condition. The determination of any rate or amount, the obtaining of each quotation and the making of each determination or calculation by the Make-whole Calculation Agent (as defined below) shall (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties. The Make-whole Calculation Agent shall act as an independent expert and not as agent for the Issuer or the Noteholders. For the purposes of this Condition: "Benchmark Rate" means the average of the three quotations given by the Reference Dealers on the Calculation Date at 11.00 a.m. (Central European time (CET)) of the mid-market annual yield to maturity of the French Treasury Bond (Obligation Assimilable du Trésor - OAT) bearing interest at a rate of 2.50 per cent. per annum and maturing 25 May 2030, with ISIN FR0011883966 (the "Reference Note"). If the Reference Note is no longer outstanding, a Similar Security will be chosen by the Make-whole Calculation Agent, after prior consultation with the Issuer if practicable under the circumstances, at 11.00 a.m. (Central European time (CET)) on the Calculation Date, quoted in writing by the Make-whole Calculation Agent to the Issuer. "Calculation Date" means the third Business Day (as defined in Condition 6(b)) prior to the relevant Make- whole Redemption Date. "Make-whole Calculation Agent" means an independent adviser of recognised standing with appropriate expertise appointed by the Issuer to act as calculation agent for the purpose of this Condition 5(c). "Make-whole Margin" means 0.20 per cent. per annum. "Make-whole Redemption Amount" means, with respect to each Note, an amount denominated in Euros rounded to the nearest cent (half a cent being rounded upwards), determined by the Make-whole Calculation Agent and equal to the sum of: (i) the greater of (x) 100 per cent. of the principal amount so redeemed of such Note and (y) the sum of the then present values as at the relevant Make-whole Redemption Date of (i) 100 per cent. of the principal amount so redeemed of such Note and (ii) the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the principal amount so redeemed of such Note up to (and including) the Pre-Maturity Call Option Date (determined on the basis of the interest rate applicable on such Note (excluding any interest accruing on such Note from and including the Issue Date or, as the case may be, the scheduled Interest Payment Date immediately preceding such Make-whole Redemption Date to, but excluding, the relevant Make-whole Redemption Date)) discounted from the Pre-Maturity Call Option Date to the relevant Make-whole Redemption Date on an annual basis (Actual/Actual (ICMA)) at a rate equal to the Make-whole Redemption Rate; and (ii) any interest accrued but not paid on the principal amount so redeemed on such Note to, but excluding, the relevant Make-whole Redemption Date. "Make-whole Redemption Rate" means the sum, as calculated by the Make-whole Calculation Agent, of the Benchmark Rate and the Make-whole Margin. 19 "Reference Dealers" means each of the three (3) banks selected by the Make-whole Calculation Agent which are primary European government security dealers or market makers in pricing corporate bond issues. "Similar Security" means a reference bond or reference bonds issued by the issuer of the Reference Note having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable with the remaining term of the Notes that would be utilised, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the Pre-Maturity Call Option Date. In the case of a partial redemption pursuant to this Condition 5(c), the redemption will be effected by application of a pool factor (corresponding to a reduction of the aggregate nominal amount of all the Notes in proportion to the aggregate nominal amount redeemed), subject to compliance with any applicable laws and, so long as the Notes are admitted to trading on Euronext Paris, the requirements of Euronext Paris. For the avoidance of doubt, the principal amount of each Note and the aggregate principal amount of the Notes shall mean, following any partial redemption of the Notes pursuant to this Condition 5(c), the remaining outstanding principal amount of each Note and the remaining outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes for the purpose of the Conditions. (d) Clean up call option In the event that at least 75% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Notes has been redeemed or purchased and cancelled by the Issuer, the Issuer may, at its option, but subject to having given not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) calendar days' notice to the Noteholders (which notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date set for redemption) in accordance with Condition 12, redeem the Notes then outstanding, in whole but not in part at their principal amount together with any accrued interest thereon to but excluding the date set for redemption (the "Clean up Call Option"). (e) Pre-maturity call option The Issuer may, at its option, from and including three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date (i.e. 24 March 2030) (the "Pre-Maturity Call Option Date") to but excluding the Maturity Date, having given not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) calendar days’ notice to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 12 (which notice shall be irrevocable), redeem the Notes then outstanding, in whole but not in part, at their principal amount together with any accrued interest thereon to but excluding the date set for redemption. (f) Purchases The Issuer may at any time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise (including by way of tender and/or exchange offer) at any price. Notes so purchased by the Issuer may be held and resold in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. (g) Cancellation All Notes which are redeemed or purchased for cancellation by the Issuer pursuant to this Condition 5 will forthwith be cancelled (together with rights to interest any other amounts relating thereto) by transfer to an account in accordance with the rules and procedures of Euroclear France. Any Notes so cancelled may not be resold and the obligations of the Issuer in respect of any such Notes shall be discharged. 6. Payments (a) Method of Payment Payments of principal, interest and other amounts in respect of the Notes will be made in euro, by credit or transfer to an account denominated in euro (or any other account to which euro may be credited or transferred) specified by the payee in a city in which banks have access to T2 (as defined in paragraph (b) below). Such 20 payments shall be made for the benefit of the Noteholders to the Account Holders and all payments made to such Account Holders in favour of Noteholders will be an effective discharge of the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, in respect of such payment. Payments of principal, interest and other amounts in respect of the Notes will be made subject to any fiscal or other laws and regulations applicable thereto, but without prejudice to the provisions described in Condition 7. No commission or expenses shall be charged to the Noteholders in respect of such payments. (b) Payments on Business Days If any due date for payment of principal, interest or any other amount in respect of any Note is not a Business Day (as defined below), then the Noteholder shall not be entitled to payment of the amount due until the next following calendar day which is a Business Day and the Noteholder shall not be entitled to any interest or other additional sums in respect of such postponed payment.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the Joint Lead Managers and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the Issuer or other entities of the Group. Certain of the Joint Lead Managers or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with the Issuer or other entities of the Group routinely hedge their credit exposure to the Issuer or, as the case may be, such other entities of the Group consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, such Joint Lead Managers and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in securities, including potentially the Notes issued. The Joint Lead Managers and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire. 14.
