Stock split

Division of nominal value of shares: May the 11th 2000

With a view to improving market liquidity and providing retail customers with better access to its shares, Société Générale carried out a stock split. On 11 May 2000, the nominal value of Société Générale shares was divided by four, from EUR 5 to EUR 1.25, and the number of shares multiplied by four in accordance with resolution number 16 of the AGM of 18 April. The Group's capital remained unchanged.
Current shareholders thus automatically received four shares at the new nominal value for one existing share.
