Successful hybrid bond liability management: issue of 500mEUR and buyback of
                            352mEUR of 2014 bonds

SUEZ successfully issued undated deeply subordinated hybrid bonds for an amount
of EUR500 million.

New bonds have an initial fixed coupon of 1.625 per cent which will be revised
for the first time seven years after issuance, and then, every five years.

The funds raised are partly used for a buy-back and early redemption of hybrid
bonds issued in June 2014 (which bear interest at a rate of 3.00 per cent) for
a nominal amount of EUR352 million. With this transaction, the Group optimizes
the company's balance sheet structure, while refinancing the existing bonds at
attractive rates.
The new bonds will be accounted for as 100% equity under IFRS standards and as
50% equity by the rating agency Moody's.

This transaction was managed by CaixaBank, Citi, Crédit Industriel et
Commercial, Deutsche Bank, MUFG, Natixis, Natwest Markets, Santander, Société
Générale et UniCredit.

The new issue prospectus is available on SUEZ website (www.suez.com).
