Providing electronic statements

The holder of registered accounts can get their statements and transaction notices in electronic format by signing up for this service on the website, under “Online statements”, accessible once the accountholder has logged on.

The accountholder can also sign up for statements and transaction notices in electronic format, at the express request of the issuer, with Societe Generale Securities Services. In this case, only the salaried accountholder with a valid email address communicated to Societe Generale Securities Services will be affected by this change of format. They will be notified beforehand by the issuer of signing up by default for the electronic format option, and will be reminded that they may, at any time, change the way these documents are sent, by selecting the paper format option directly on the Sharinbox website or by contacting Societe Generale.

The accountholder will be notified by email when a new notice is available. Notices are kept on Sharinbox for ten years from availability to the accountholder, unless the account is closed.

The accountholder has the option of downloading and/or printing statements made available on Sharinbox. The Parties acknowledge that statements made available in PDF format on Sharinbox have the same legal value as paper notices sent by post.

In the event of closure of the registered securities account, the accountholder will no longer be able to access Sharinbox. It is therefore up to them, before said closure, to save or print statements made available on Sharinbox.

Notice concerning the services

The services accessible via this website are provided by Societe Generale (or its subsidiaries) exclusively as part of a mandate entrusted to it by an issuer or an employer (see above "site purpose"). These services shall not, under any circumstances, constitute a public offer or solicitation by Societe Generale to the users of the website. In addition, under the mandate entrusted to it, Societe Generale is not, under any circumstances, authorised to give any advice or recommendation in relation to a financial investment.

• Notice for non-residents (residents outside France)
  Access to the information and services on this website may be subject to restrictions with regard to certain persons or in certain countries other than France.

• Notice for "US Person"
  Societe Generale is not registered as a broker-dealer with regard to the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") or with regard to any other applicable law in the United States. In addition, the securities which may be mentioned on the website are not, unless expressly mentioned otherwise, registered with the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") in the United States.

Consequently, the use of the site and the services or products it contains is not intended for U.S. Persons and may not be used by such persons, except pursuant to an exemption expressly stipulated by the law applicable in the United States. A "US Person" is, in general, any individual residing in the United States or any entity organised or established according to the law applicable in the United States. US citizens who are not on the territory of the United States may also be US Persons in certain conditions.

Where applicable, where the mandate entrusted to Societe Generale by an issuer or an employer implies that it is possible for a holder or an employee which is an US Person to access the website and to use the services, Societe Generale shall exclusively act as a "foreign broker-dealer". Within this context, the holder or the employee expressly recognizes that he/she will access and use the site and the services at his/her own initiative and without any prior solicitation by Societe Generale. Societe Generale can therefore legitimately rely on the registration exemption which is applicable to "unsolicited transactions" (Rule 15a-6, 1934 Act).
