(ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement; |
(iii) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement; |
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Paris, France, on June 27, 2024.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am the General Counsel of TotalEnergies SE (the “Corporation”), and have directly supervised counsel for the Corporation in connection with the filing of a registration statement on Form S-8 with exhibits thereto (the “Registration Statement”) by the Corporation under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, for registration of up to 718,080 shares, par value 2.50 euros per share, of the Corporation (the “Shares”). The Shares are issuable to employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries participating in the TotalEnergies SE Free Share Plan (the “Plan”).
I am familiar with the preparation of the Registration Statement and have made such further investigation, either directly or through counsel acting under my direct supervision, as I have deemed pertinent and necessary as a basis for this opinion.
Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing, it is my opinion that the Shares are duly authorized and, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and upon compliance with applicable securities laws, will be, assuming no change in the applicable law or pertinent facts, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
