ENGIE issues EUR 1.5 billion of green bonds, now largest corporate green bond
issuer

- Total amount of green bonds issued by ENGIE now EUR 8.75 billion
- 75% of issue allotted to green investors

On Friday, 14 June, ENGIE launched a EUR 1.5 billion bond issuance in green
bonds format: the issuance proceeds will be used exclusively to finance
numerous green projects in the area of renewable energies and energy services
developed by the Group across the world.

With this new issue, the total outstanding amount of green bonds issued by
ENGIE is EUR 8.75 billion, meaning that the Group is now the largest corporate
issuer of green bonds.

This issue has been made in two tranches of EUR 750 million each, for periods
of 8 and 20 years. These new bond investments carry coupons of 0.375% and
1.375% respectively - i.e. an average coupon of 0.875% for a bond issue with an
average term of 14 years. Furthermore, the Group is shoring up its appeal for
green investors, to whom more than 75% of bonds have been allotted.

Judith Hartmann, ENGIE's EVP and CFO said: "ENGIE has undertaken to reconcile
the company's long-term vision with the financial objectives of investors.
Green bonds, which help fund our clients' zero carbon transition, are an
essential lever for doing so".

Green finance has a key role to play in helping to deliver the energy
transition. As a pioneer in green finance, ENGIE has proceeded with 6 issuances
of green bonds since 2014, including one worth EUR 1 billion in January 2019.
