changes (including but not limited to the tax deductibility of
interest payable on the Notes) and the Issuer determines, in its
own discretion, that such change is materially disadvantageous
to the Issuer;
(iii)
for the first time on 29 June 2020 and on any Interest Payment
Date thereafter, however, subject to any previous write-down
having been fully written-up.
If the Issuer elects, in its sole discretion and subject to prior consent by
the competent supervisory authority, to redeem the Notes, the Notes will

Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio of the Issuer to the Minimum CET1
Ratio, but shall not exceed the sum of the nominal amounts of the
relevant instruments outstanding at the time of the occurrence of the
Trigger Event. This write-down on pro rata basis, shall also apply, if
upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event other Additional Tier 1
instruments shall be written-down or converted into Common Equity
Tier 1 instruments the terms of which provide for a trigger event if the

8
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio of the Issuer falls below a ratio

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Notes involves risks. The following is designed to show aspects of the Notes and
the business of the Issuer of which prospective investors should be aware. Investors should carefully
consider the following discussion of the risks and the other information about the Notes contained in
this Prospectus before deciding whether an investment in the Notes is suitable. An investment in the
Notes is only suitable for investors experienced in financial matters who are in a position to fully
assess the risks relating to such an investment and who have sufficient financial means to absorb any
potential loss stemming therefrom.

Potential investors should read carefully and take into consideration the risk factors described below
and other information contained in this Prospectus before making a decision on the acquisition of the
Notes from the Issuer. The onset of one or several of these risks, in isolation or in combination with
other factors, can seriously affect the business operations of Issuer and have material adverse effects
on the net assets, financial standing and profitability of the Issuer or on the price of the Notes. The
risks described below are possibly not the only risks to which the Issuer is exposed. Other risks, which
are currently not known to the Issuer, are considered unimportant at present, may also affect the
business operations of the Issuer and have serious adverse effects on the business activity and the
net assets, financial standing and profitability of the Issuer. The selected order is neither a statement
of the probability of realization nor the extent of the economic effects or the significance of the risk
factors mentioned below.

Risks relating to the Issuer

Bremer LB is exposed to risks arising from the general macro-economic conditions in the
financial markets and the global economy which may have a negative impact on its business
conditions and opportunities.

Bremer LB is exposed to risks resulting from the general macro-economic conditions in the Eurozone
and the state of the global financial markets, both generally and as they specifically affect financial
institutions. Since 2007, international capital markets have been affected by ongoing turbulences
which were accompanied by high market volatility and reduced liquidity. The disruptions have resulted
in a significant reduction of available financing and have led to some financial institutions being subject
to financial distress. This has led to recessions in numerous countries in Europe and around the world,
weak economic growth and a considerable increase in insolvencies across different business sectors
compared to pre-crisis levels. The ensuing sovereign debt crisis had an even greater impact on the
banking sector in general and particularly affected banks that were active in public budget financing
and public investment financing. The rating downgrades of many European countries, such as
Greece, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Ireland and Cyprus, and the United States of America were reflected in
higher volatility on the financial markets. Some European countries were and still are only able to
obtain funds with the support of international aid programs. The on-going debt crisis of some
countries, for instance Greece, could worsen and lead to requests for waivers on debts, cause public
debtors to file for insolvency or cause (or motivate) public institutions, which had issued guarantees or
similar instruments for certain debt instruments, to withdraw or contest such guarantees or similar
instruments or to restructure or defer the payment obligations under the guaranteed debt securities.
The latter could be seen for example in the case of the debt securities issued by Austrian HETA Asset
Resolution AG that are covered by a letter of indemnity issued by the Austrian federal state of
Carinthia. If any of such events occur and affect assets held by Bremer LB, Bremer LB may have to
recognize considerable impairments on loans, advances and securities.

Historical y low interest rates across financial markets have, among other things, led to a noticeable
euphoria among market participants giving rise to concerns that market participants underestimate the
likelihood and severity of risks, such as a full or partial break-up of the Eurozone (e.g. following the
exit of a Member State from the Eurozone), an escalation of geopolitical tension, severe disruptions of
currency exchange rates, a decline in confidence in the ability of the European Central Bank ("ECB")
to safeguard financial stability or a decline in confidence in the ability of the member states of the
European Union (EU) to achieve the required rebalancing and adjustment of their economies. The low
interest rates at which the ECB has been and currently still is providing liquidity to the market might
lead to an inflation of asset values and/or an increase of currency depreciation. It could also lead to a
further tightening of spreads which could affect revenues and profitability, including real estate lenders.

10
Furthermore, a sudden change in the ECB's policies could undermine market confidence and
destabilize the financial markets. All these risks could have a material negative impact on Bremer LB's
net assets, financial position and results of operations and hence on the ability to meet liabilities to
investors under the Notes.

Bremer LB is exposed to credit risk stemming from a borrower's or counterparty's failure to
pay or deterioration in a borrower's or counterparty's credit rating.

Bremer LB actively operates as a universal commercial bank in the financing sector. As such it is
exposed to the risk stemming from a borrower's or counterparty's failure to pay or deterioration in a
borrower's or counterparty's credit rating.

Credit risk breaks down into traditional credit risk and counterparty risk in trading. Traditional credit risk
is the risk of loss resulting from a borrower's failure to pay or deterioration in a borrower's credit rating.
Counterparty risk in trading is the risk of loss from trading activities stemming from a borrower's or
counterparty's failure to pay or deterioration in a borrower's or counterparty's credit rating. It breaks
down into default risk in trading, replacement, settlement and issuer risk. Default risk from trading is
the risk of loss stemming from an obligor's failure to pay or deterioration in an obligor's credit rating. It
is equivalent to the traditional credit risk and occurs in money trading, in money market or treasury
activities. Replacement risk is the risk that the counterparty is unable to meet the terms of a pending
contract with a positive present value and that this contract has to be replaced at a loss. Settlement
risk comprises pre-settlement and clearing risk. Pre-settlement risk is the risk that, when it comes to
settling a contract, the counterparty fails to provide consideration for a contract on which the Issuer
has already made advance delivery or, when performance is mutually offset, no compensation
payment is made. Pre-settlement risk can be prevented by acquiring the transaction value from the
counterparty in advance under good value or on a reciprocal basis or if sufficient cover exists. Actual
settlement risk is the risk of a transaction not being mutually settled on or after the contractual
settlement date. Issuer risk is the risk of loss stemming from an issuer's or reference entity's (credit
derivative's) failure to pay or deterioration in an issuer's or reference entity's credit rating.

Bremer LB's credit portfolio focuses in particular on special finance for shipping, renewable energies,
social housing and leasing companies, as well as private and corporate customer business in north-
west Lower Saxony and the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen. Furthermore a credit investment portfolio
is managed within the Financial Markets division of Bremer LB. Bremer LB monitors, and has
monitored, its credit risks and relevant collaterals regularly with regard to borrowers, countries and
business sectors, and will continue to do so. It is however possible that a realisation of risks that
cannot be foreseen or risks that cannot be adverted, or risks which were not identified in the past, will
result in credit defaults. Moreover, collaterals given to hedge the credit default risk may prove
insufficient to cover the amount of credit in default, for example due to declining market prices. Any
default on the part of borrowers with large loan volumes could have a material negative impact on
Bremer LB's net assets, financial position and results of operations and hence on the ability to meet
liabilities to investors under the Notes.

Bremer LB has in the past made specific bad debt provisions and loan loss provisions to compensate
for expected credit defaults, and will continue to do so. While the bad debt and loan loss provisions
have been made in al conscience to the extent necessary pursuant to IAS 39, it is possible that
Bremer LB will have to increase risk provisions in the future due to higher numbers or higher amounts
of defaulted loans in its credit portfolio.
Bremer LB is exposed to the risk of default in the cover pools for Pfandbriefe and to the risk
that - for regulatory reasons - an increase of the cover pool is ordered by supervisory
authorities.
Assets in the cover pools relating to the different Pfandbriefe issued by Bremer LB include loans and
other financings which are exposed to the economic situation of the financed object and/or debtor
which can deteriorate. If the risk of default in relation to assets held by Bremer LB materializes in any
of the cover pools and if and to the extent Bremer LB is unable to replace the respective assets in the
cover pool with adequate new assets, this could also result in the cover assets being insufficient to
meet the requirements under the Pfandbrief Act which could have a material negative impact on
