DISCLOSURE OF REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2026

Press release

Paris, 30 October 2025

The European Central Bank notified Societe Generale Group of the level of its Pillar 2 Requirement (P2R), which will apply from 1 January 2026. It stands at 2.36%, including at least 1.38% in the form of CET1. This level includes a requirement of 0.11% regarding Pillar 2 prudential expectations on calendar provisioning relating to non-performing loans granted before 26 April 2019.

Considering the combined regulatory buffers, the minimum requirements from 1 January 2026 applicable to the Group on a consolidated basis will be set at 10.26% for the CET1 ratio (including 0.85% on countercyclical buffers), 12.19% for the Tier 1 ratio and 14.74% for the Total Capital ratio.

The European Central Bank also notified Societe Generale Group of a Leverage Ratio P2R (LR-P2R) requirement, which stands at a level of 0.1%. Consequently, the minimum leverage ratio requirement stands at 3.6%.

With a CET1 ratio at 13.7%1 as of 30 September 2025, Societe Generale Group benefits from a comfortable pro forma buffer of around 340 basis points above regulatory requirements. Similarly, the Group’s leverage ratio stood at 4.35% as of 30 September 2025, well above the requirement of 3.6%.
