                       2012 dividend payment procedures

Paris, 12 February 2013

The Board of Directors of Societe Generale, which met on 12 February, 2013,
 has decided to propose the distribution of a dividend of EUR 0.45 per share
to the Annual General Meeting, and to offer shareholders the possibility of
opting for a dividend payment in new shares.

Subject to a favourable vote by the Annual General Meeting on 22 May, 2013:

- Dividend detachment will take place on 29 May, 2013.

- The offer period for the dividend payment in shares will extend from 29 May
to12 June, 2013 included. After that date or in the event of failure to
exercise the option, the dividend  will be paid exclusively in cash.

- The issue price of new shares will  be equal to 90% of the amount  resulting 
from the calculation  of the average  of initial quoted  prices in the  twenty 
trading sessions preceding  the date  of the distribution  decision minus  the 
dividend amount and rounded up to the nearest euro cent.

- If the amount of the dividends for which the option is exercised does not
correspond to a whole number of shares, the shareholder may decide to receive
the whole number of shares immediately above by paying, on the day the option
is exercised, the difference in cash, or to receive the whole number of shares
immediately below plus a balancing cash adjustment. Shares issued by way of a
dividend payment will incur interest from 1 January, 2013.

- The dividend will be paid as from 24 June, 2013.
