annum which shall be equal to the relevant 5-year Swap Rate (as defined herein) plus the Margin (as defined herein) for each Interest

November of each year, commencing on 30 November 2029.

pursuant to the Prospectus Regulation. The AMF only approves this Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness,
comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the Prospectus Regulation. Such approval should not be considered as an endorsement
of the Issuer or of the quality of the Notes which are the subject of this Prospectus. Investors should make their own assessment as to
the suitability of investing in the Notes.
Application will be made to Euronext Paris for the Notes to be admitted to trading on Euronext Paris. Euronext Paris is a regulated

book-entry form in compliance with Articles L.211-3 and R.211-1 of the French Code monétaire et financier. No physical documents
of title (including certificats représentatifs pursuant to Article R.211-7 of the French Code monétaire et financier) will be issued in
respect of the Notes. The Notes will, upon issue, be inscribed in the books of Euroclear France ("Euroclear France") which shall


credit the accounts of the Account Holders. "Account Holder" shall mean any intermediary institution entitled to hold, directly or
indirectly, accounts on behalf of its customers with Euroclear France, and includes Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and the

This Prospectus is to be read and construed in conjunction with the documents incorporated by reference
in this Prospectus (see "Documents Incorporated by Reference" below) which have been previously
published and which shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in, and form part of, this Prospectus
(except to the extent so specified in, or to the extent inconsistent with, this Prospectus).
No person has been authorised to give any information or to make any representation other than those
contained in this Prospectus in connection with the issue or sale of any Notes and, if given or made, such
information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuer or any of
the Managers (as defined herein). Neither the delivery of this Prospectus nor the offering, sale or delivery
of the Notes shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the
affairs of the Group since the date hereof or that there has been no adverse change in the financial position
of the Issuer or the Group since the date hereof or that any other information supplied in connection with
this Prospectus is correct as of any time subsequent to the date on which it is supplied or, if different, the
date indicated in the document containing the same.
Other than in relation to the documents which are deemed to be incorporated by reference (see "Documents
Incorporated by Reference" below), the information on the websites to which this Prospectus refers does
not form part of this Prospectus unless that information is incorporated by reference into this Prospectus
and has not been scrutinised or approved by the AMF.
The distribution of this Prospectus and the offering or sale of the Notes in certain jurisdictions may be
restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus comes are required by the Issuer and the
Managers to inform themselves about and to observe any such restriction.
IMPORTANT - EEA AND 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 European Economic Area (the "EEA") or in the United Kingdom (the "UK"). For these
purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11)
of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended ("MiFID II"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of
Directive (EU) 2016/97, as amended, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as
defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus
Regulation. 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 or in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or
otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or in the UK may be unlawful under the
PRIIPs Regulation.
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 18 of the Guidelines
published by the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") on 5 February 2018, 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.
SINGAPORE SFA PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION ­ In connection with Section 309B of the Securities
and Futures Act (Chapter 289) of Singapore (the "SFA") and the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets
Products) Regulations 2018 of Singapore (the "CMP Regulations 2018"), the Issuer has determined, and
hereby notifies all relevant persons (as defined in Section 309A(1) of the SFA), that the Notes are
"prescribed capital markets products" (as defined in the CMP Regulations 2018) and Excluded Investment
Products (as defined in MAS Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and MAS
Notice FAA-N16: Notice on Recommendations on Investment Products).

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, NOTES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR
DELIVERED WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF,
U.S. PERSONS. (AS DEFINED IN THE SECURITIES ACT) FOR A DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN
RESTRICTIONS ON OFFERS AND SALES OF NOTES AND ON DISTRIBUTION OF THIS
PROSPECTUS, SEE "SUBSCRIPTION AND SALE" HEREIN.
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of, or an invitation by or on behalf of the Issuer or the
Managers to subscribe for, or purchase, any Notes.
The Managers have not separately verified the information contained or incorporated by reference in this
Prospectus. The Managers do not have any fiduciary duties to investors and therefore assume no liability
or obligation to investors. None of the Managers makes any representation, express or implied, or accepts
any responsibility, with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information in this Prospectus.
The Managers have not separately verified the information or representations contained or incorporated by
reference in this Prospectus. None of the Managers makes any representation, express or implied or accepts
any responsibility with respect to the accuracy and sincerity of any information or representations contained
in the Prospectus. Neither this Prospectus nor any other information incorporated by reference in this
Prospectus is intended to provide the basis of any credit or other evaluation and should not be considered
as a recommendation by the Issuer or the Managers that any recipient of this Prospectus or any other
information incorporated by reference should subscribe for or purchase the Notes. In making an investment
decision regarding the Notes, prospective investors must rely on their own independent investigation and
appraisal of the Issuer, its business and the terms of the offering, including the merits and risks involved.
For further details, see "Risk Factors" herein. The contents of this Prospectus are not to be construed as
legal, business or tax advice. Each prospective investor should subscribe for or consult its own advisers as
to legal, tax, financial, credit and related aspects of an investment in the Notes. None of the Managers
undertakes to review the financial condition or affairs of the Issuer or the Group during the life of the
arrangements contemplated by this Prospectus nor to advise any investor or potential investor in the Notes
of any information coming to the attention of any of the Managers.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
Independent Review and Advice
Each prospective investor of Notes must determine, based on its own independent review and such
professional advice as it deems appropriate under the circumstances, that its acquisition of the Notes is fully
consistent with its financial needs, objectives and condition, complies and is fully consistent with all
investment policies, guidelines and restrictions applicable to it and is a fit, proper and suitable investment
for it, notwithstanding the clear and substantial risks inherent in investing in or holding the Notes.
Each prospective investor should consult its own advisers as to legal, tax and related aspects of an
investment in the Notes. A prospective investor may not rely on the Issuer or the Managers or any of their
respective affiliates in connection with its determination as to the legality of its acquisition of the Notes or
as to the other matters referred to above.
Regulatory Restrictions
Investors whose investment activities are subject to investment laws and regulations or to review or
regulation by certain authorities may be subject to restrictions on investments in certain types of debt
securities. Investors should review and consider such restrictions prior to investing in the Notes.
Certain tax considerations
Potential purchasers and sellers of the Notes should be aware that they may be required to pay taxes or
documentary charges or duties in accordance with the laws and practices of the jurisdiction where the Notes
are transferred or other jurisdictions. Payments of interest and other amounts under the Notes may also be
4


subject to taxation. In some jurisdictions, no official statements of the tax authorities or court decisions may
be available for the tax treatment of financial instruments such as the Notes. The tax impact on an
individual Noteholder may differ from the situation for Noteholders generally. Potential investors are
advised to ask for their own tax adviser's advice on their individual taxation with respect to the acquisition,
holding, disposal and redemption of the Notes. Only these advisers are in a position to duly consider the
specific situation of the potential investor.
Conflicts of Interest
Certain of the Managers and their affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in investment
banking and/or commercial banking transactions with, and may perform services for, the Issuer and their
affiliates in the ordinary course of business. In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities,
the 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 Issuer's affiliates. Certain of the Managers or their
affiliates that have a lending relationship with the Issuer routinely hedge their credit exposure to the Issuer
consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, such 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. The 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, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.
The Notes are complex instruments that 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 its own
circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should:
(a)
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 or any applicable supplement;
(b)
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 the Notes will have on its overall
investment portfolio;
(c)
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;
(d)
understand thoroughly the terms of the Notes and be familiar with the behavior of financial markets
and with the regulatory framework applicable to the Issuer;
(e)
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 applicable
risks; and
(f)
consult its legal advisers in relation to possible legal or fiscal risks that may be associated with any
investment in the Notes.
Some potential investors are subject to restricting investment 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 or whether the Notes can be used as
collateral for any such borrowings and whether other selling restrictions are applicable to them.
The Notes are complex financial instruments. Sophisticated institutional investors generally purchase
complex financial instruments as part of a wider financial structure rather than as stand-alone investments.
They purchase complex financial instruments as a way to reduce risk or enhance yield with an understood,
5


measured, appropriate addition of risk to their overall portfolios. A potential investor should not invest in
the Notes unless it has the expertise (either alone or with a financial adviser) to evaluate how the Notes will
perform under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Notes and the impact this
investment will have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio.
Legality of Purchase
Neither the Issuer, the Managers nor any of their respective affiliates has or assumes responsibility for the
lawfulness of the acquisition of the Notes by a prospective investor of the Notes, whether under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its incorporation or the jurisdiction in which it operates (if different), or for compliance
by that prospective investor with any law, regulation or regulatory policy applicable to it.
There can be no assurance that the use of proceeds of the Notes will be suitable for the investment criteria
of an investor
Prospective investors should have regard to the information set out in "Use of Proceeds" of this Prospectus
and must determine for themselves the relevance of such information for the purpose of any investment in
the Notes together with any other investigation such investor deems necessary.
Important notice relating to "green bonds"
Prospective investors should have regard to the information set out in the "Use of Proceeds" section of this
Prospectus and must determine for themselves the relevance of such information for the purpose of any
investment in the Notes together with any other investigation such investor deems necessary. In particular,
no assurance is given by the Issuer that the use of such proceeds for any Eligible Green Projects will satisfy,
whether in whole or in part, any present or future investor expectations or requirements as regards any
investment criteria or guidelines with which such investor or its investments are required to comply, whether
by any present or future applicable law or regulations or by its own by-laws or other governing rules or
investment portfolio mandates, in particular with regard to any direct or indirect environmental,
sustainability or social impact of any projects or uses, the subject of or related to, any Eligible Green
Projects. Furthermore, it should be noted that there is currently no clear definition (legal, regulatory or
otherwise) of, nor market consensus as to what constitutes, a "green" or "sustainable" or "social impact"
or an equivalently-labelled project or as to what precise attributes are required for a particular project to be
defined as such. As part of action plan for financing sustainable growth the EU Commission is considering
an EU classification system which is expected to be gradually integrated into EU legislation but no
assurance can be given that such a clear definition or consensus will develop over time. Accordingly, no
assurance is or can be given to investors that any Eligible Green Projects will meet any or all investor
expectations regarding such objectives or that any adverse environmental, social and/or other impacts will
not occur during the implementation of any Eligible Green Projects.
No assurance or representation is given as to the suitability or reliability for any purpose whatsoever of the
second party opinion provided by Vigeo Eiris (the "Second Party Opinion") or any opinion or certification
of any third party (whether or not solicited by the Issuer) which may be made available in connection with
the issue of the Notes and in particular with any Eligible Green Projects to fulfil any environmental,
sustainability, social and/or other criteria. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Second Party Opinion,
nor any such other opinion or certification is, or shall be deemed to be, incorporated in and/or form part of
this Prospectus.

Covid-19 outbreak
Since December 2019, a significant number of cases of pneumonia associated with the COVID-19 has been
reported worldwide. Initially reported in the province of Hubei in the People's Republic of China, it has spread
across other countries, resulting in reported infections and deaths in numerous countries. The spread of
COVID- 19 has resulted globally in governmental authorities imposing quarantines and travel restrictions of
varying scope, in decreased economic activity and lowered estimates for future economic growth. In this
context, ENGIE has made its business continuity a priority, together with ensuring the safety of its
collaborators.
The COVID-19 epidemic is still an ongoing event, the duration of which is uncertain, and measures adopted
in reaction to it by public authorities (on an international, national or local scale) are in constant evolution. The
Group could face decisions from governments in various countries where it operates such as shutdowns of
some industrial sites and tertiary sector businesses (such as offices and hotels), or decision of deferring
payments of energy bills (as contemplated for very small companies in France), and the demand for its products
and services could be reduced due to less industrial production and vacant office space, all of which may have
an impact on ENGIE's results or financial situation, and as a result on its financial ratings and/or its financial
performance and outlooks.
The evolution of the unprecedented COVID-19 crisis remains uncertain at this stage, despite the monitoring
and remediation measures in place. The impact of the COVID-19 crisis (i) on the situation at 30 June 2020
was presented in the "ENGIE 2020 half-year results" and "Business trends" sections of the 2020 ENGIE First-
Half Financial Report and in Note 1.2 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six
months ended 30 June 2020, which are incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, and updated on the
situation at 30 September 2020 in ENGIE's press release relating to financial information for the period ending
30 September 2020 published on 13 November 2020, which is included in section "Recent Developments" on
pages 77-91 of this Prospectus (the "Q3 Results Press Release"), and (ii) its impact on the Group's outlook
9




for the coming months is presented in Section 1.3 "Financial forecasts" of the 2020 ENGIE First-Half
Financial Report, as updated in paragraph "2020 Outlook and Guidance" of the Q3 Results Press Release.
B.
Risk Factors relating to the Notes
The following paragraphs describe the main risk factors that are considered material for prospective investors
in order to assess the market risk associated with the Notes. They do not describe all the risks of an investment
in the Notes. Prospective investors should consult their own financial and legal advisers about risks associated
with investment in the Notes and the suitability of investing in the Notes in light of their particular
circumstances.
Defined terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Terms and
Conditions of the Notes.
1
Risks relating to the trading market of the Notes
Market Value of the Notes
Application will be made to admit the Notes to trading on Euronext Paris. Therefore, the market value
of the Notes will be affected by the creditworthiness of the Issuer, and/or that of the Group and a
number of additional factors, including, but not limited to, the value of the reference rate, its volatility,
market interest and yield rates. If the creditworthiness of the Issuer deteriorates, (i) the Issuer may not
be able to fulfil all or part of its payment obligations under the Notes and (ii) the value of the Notes
may decrease, and Noteholders may lose all or part of their investment.
The value of the Notes and of any applicable reference rate depend 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 or other stock exchanges on which the Notes or the
reference rate are traded. The price at which a Noteholder will be able to sell the Notes prior to
redemption by the Issuer may be at a discount, which could be substantial, from the issue price or the
purchase price paid by such purchaser.
Liquidity Risks/Trading Market for the Notes
Application will be made to admit the Notes to trading on Euronext Paris. However, the Notes may
not have an established trading market when issued and admitted to trading and may never develop or
continue or, if one does develop, be maintained. Therefore, the market for the Notes may not be liquid
and the holders may not be able to sell their Notes when desired, or at all, or at prices they find
acceptable. The liquidity of, and trading market for, the Notes may also be adversely affected by
general declines in the market for similar securities. If an active trading market for the Notes does not
develop or is not maintained, the market or trading price and liquidity of the Notes may be adversely
affected.
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, and the value of any applicable reference rate, as well as other factors
such as the complexity and volatility of the reference rate, the method of calculating the return to be
paid in respect of such Notes, the outstanding amount of the Notes, any redemption features of the
Notes as specified in Condition 5 (Redemption and Purchase) of the Terms and Conditions of the
Notes, the performance of other instruments linked to the reference rates and the level, direction and
volatility of interest rates generally. Such factors also will affect the market value of the Notes. In
addition, certain Notes may be designed for specific investment objectives or strategies and therefore
may have a more limited secondary market and experience more price volatility than conventional debt
securities.
Noteholders may not be able to sell Notes readily or at prices that will enable Noteholders to realise
their anticipated yield. This could have a material adverse impact on the Noteholders and, as a result,
Noteholders could lose all or part of their investment in the Notes.
