The distribution of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the offering of the Notes in certain jurisdictions may be
restricted by law. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not constitute an offer, or an invitation on Equinor ASA's ("Equinor")
or Equinor Energy AS's ("Equinor Energy") behalf or on behalf of the underwriters, to subscribe to or purchase any of the Notes, and may not be used for
or in connection with an offer or solicitation by anyone, in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorized or to any person to whom
it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation. See "Underwriting" below.
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 ("EEA") or in the United Kingdom. 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"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning
of Directive 2002/92/EC (as amended, the "Insurance Mediation Directive"), 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 Regulation (EU) No. 2017/1129 (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 United Kingdom 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 United Kingdom may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

SUPPLEMENTAL RISK FACTORS
Investing in the Notes involves risk. You should consider carefully the supplemental risks described below in addition to the risks described under
"Risk Factors" beginning on page 1 of the accompanying prospectus, the risks described beginning on page 97 of the 2019 Form 20-F, which is
incorporated by reference herein, as well as the other risks and uncertainties described in the other documents incorporated by reference in this
prospectus supplement, before you decide to buy Notes. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition and results of operations
could suffer, and the trading price and liquidity of the Notes could decline, in which case you may lose all or part of your investment.
RISKS RELATED TO EQUINOR AND EQUINOR ENERGY
Recently, there has been significant oil price volatility, triggered, among other things by the changing dynamic among Opec+ members and the
uncertainty regarding demand created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Significant downward adjustments of commodity price assumptions could result in
impairments on certain of our assets. The COVID-19 pandemic could also affect our ability to operate our facilities effectively.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been declared a global emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO), and has caused countries and
organisations, including Equinor, take measures to mitigate risk for communities, employees and business operations. The recent sharp drop in oil prices,
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1140625/000119312520096018/d912625d424b2.htm[4/3/2020 8:08:25 AM]


424B2
triggered among other things by the changing dynamic among Opec+ members and the uncertainty regarding demand created by the Covid-19 pandemic,
will impact the industry and Equinor. The duration and resulting impact of this drop in oil prices on our financial condition, results of operations and cash
flow remain uncertain. See Note 10 Property, plants and equipment to the Consolidated financial statements included in our 2019 Form 20-F and
incorporated by reference herein, for a discussion of price assumptions and sensitivities. See also Note 2 Significant accounting policies to the Consolidated
financial statements included in our 2019 Form 20-F for a discussion of key sources of uncertainty with respect to management's estimates and
assumptions.
On March 25, 2020, Equinor presented an updated outlook for 2020 and a $3 billion action plan to strengthen its financial resilience in 2020 in light
of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and low commodity prices. The cost reductions contemplated by the action plan include halting drilling and
completion activities in the US onshore to produce the volumes, reducing exploration activity and operating costs reductions. The pandemic continues to
progress and evolve, and currently it is challenging to predict the full extent and duration of resulting operational and economic impact for Equinor. In
addition, actions to ensure safety of personnel, potential disruptions in the supply chain and the consequences of the spread of the virus could also affect
Equinor's ability to operate its facilities at planned levels, to maintain projected levels of production and to execute on its project portfolio.
RISKS RELATED TO THE NOTES AND GUARANTEES
The substitution of Equinor as the issuer of the Notes could cause you to realize taxable gain or loss for U.S. tax purposes and/or taxable gain or loss
(including currency gains or losses) for Norwegian tax purposes, if any, on any such Notes that you hold.
The terms of the Notes will permit us to transfer the obligations of Equinor, as issuer of the Notes of any series, to any Subsidiary (as defined under
"Description of Notes and Guarantees--Mergers and similar events; issuer substitution"), so long as the obligations of that Subsidiary are fully and
unconditionally guaranteed by Equinor on the same terms as Equinor Energy's guarantee of such Notes.
Under U.S. tax law, the change in the obligor on the Notes could be treated as a disposition of such Notes that you hold, resulting in your realization
of gain or loss on such Notes even though you continue to hold the Notes and receive no distribution in connection with the deemed disposition. Under
Norwegian tax law, the change in the obligor on the Notes could be treated as a realization of such Notes that you hold for Norwegian tax

S-3
Table of Contents
purposes. If you are resident in Norway or subject to tax in Norway as a result of being involved in business activities in Norway and the holding of Notes
is effectively connected with such business activities, a realization of Notes could result in Norwegian income taxation of gains or losses (including
currency gains or losses), if any, related to the Notes that you hold. See "Taxation" for discussion of possible tax consequences.
The Guarantees provided by Equinor Energy will automatically and unconditionally be released in certain circumstances.
The guarantees of Equinor Energy will automatically and unconditionally be terminated, without the consent of the Trustee or the holders, at
substantially the same time that the aggregate amount of indebtedness for borrowed money for which Equinor Energy is an obligor (as a guarantor,
co-issuer or borrower, and subjection to certain exceptions described under "Description of Notes and Guarantees--Guarantor" below) does not exceed
10% of the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness for borrowed money of Equinor and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. If the guarantees are
released, Equinor is not required to replace them, and the Notes will not have the benefit of an Equinor Energy or any other guarantee for their remaining
maturity.
We may be subject to a change in the Norwegian tax regime that could introduce a withholding tax on interest payments.
In February 2020, the Norwegian Ministry of Finance issued a consultation paper relating to withholding tax on interest payments from Norwegian
sources. According to the consultation paper it is proposed to introduce a standard 15% withholding tax on interest payments to related parties resident in
low tax jurisdictions and a standard 15 % withholding tax on royalty payments from entities resident for tax purposes in Norway to foreign related parties.
The new rules are proposed to be introduced with effect from January 1, 2021. The Ministry of Finance does not propose to introduce withholding tax on
interest payments to creditors other than related parties (that is, where there is direct or indirect ownership or control of at least 50%) resident for tax
purposes in a low tax jurisdiction. This means that the Ministry of Finance does not propose to introduce withholding tax on interest payments to
independent banks or other finance institutions or on bonds held by unrelated parties, and therefore interest payments under the Notes should not be subject
to Norwegian withholding tax. However, if future legislation were to require withholding of Norwegian taxes on interest payments on the Notes, Equinor
would be required, subject to certain exceptions, to pay additional amounts so that the net amounts received by the noteholder will equal the amount that
would have been received without such withholding or deduction, as described under "Description of the Notes and the Guarantees--Payment of additional
amounts." The requirement to pay such additional amounts on the Notes (and potentially other outstanding indebtedness) could materially impact our cash
flows. In addition, if Equinor were to become liable to pay additional amounts as a result of any such new legislation, it may be able to redeem the Notes
for their principal amounts plus accrued and unpaid interest and any related additional amounts, and there can be no assurance that you will be able to
reinvest the amounts received upon such redemption at a rate that will provide the same rate of return as your investment in the Notes.

Further issuances: Equinor may, at its sole option, at any time and without the consent of the then-existing noteholders, "reopen" any series of Notes
and issue an unlimited principal amount of additional Notes of such series in one or more transactions subsequent to the date of this prospectus
supplement with terms (other than the issuance date, issue price and, possibly, the CUSIP, the first interest payment date and the date interest starts
accruing) identical to the Notes of such series issued hereby. These additional Notes will be deemed part of the same series as the Notes of such
series offered hereby and will provide the holders of these additional Notes the right to vote together with holders of the Notes of such series issued
hereby. Equinor may reopen a series of Notes only if the additional Notes issued will be fungible with the original Notes of such series for United
States federal income tax purposes.

·
No negative pledge or sale and leaseback covenants: The covenants described in the accompanying prospectus on page 34 under the heading
"Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees--Covenants" shall not apply to the Notes, and so the Notes shall not benefit from a negative pledge
or limitation on sale and leaseback transactions.

On or after (i) March 6, 2025 (one month prior to maturity) with respect to the 2025 Notes, (ii) February 6, 2027 (two months prior to maturity) with
respect to the 2027 Notes (iii) January 6, 2030 (three months prior to maturity) with respect to the 2030 Notes (iv) October 6, 2039 (six months prior
to maturity) with respect to the 2040 Notes and (v) October 6, 2049 (six months prior to maturity) with respect to the 2050 Notes, Equinor has the
right to redeem the Notes of any series, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
For purposes of determining the optional make-whole redemption price, the following definitions are applicable:
"Treasury rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated
(on a day count basis), of the comparable treasury issue, assuming a price for the comparable treasury issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal
amount) equal to the comparable treasury price for such redemption date.
"Comparable treasury issue" means the U.S. Treasury security or securities selected by the quotation agent as having an actual or interpolated
maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with
customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.
"Comparable treasury price" means, with respect to any redemption date, the average of the reference treasury dealer quotations for such redemption
date.
"Quotation agent" means one of the reference treasury dealers appointed by Equinor.
"Reference treasury dealer" means Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, or
their respective affiliates which are primary U.S. government securities dealers, and their respective successors, and two other primary U.S.
government securities dealers selected by Equinor, provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government
securities dealer in the United States (a "primary treasury dealer"), Equinor shall substitute therefor another primary treasury dealer.

Table of Contents
"Reference treasury dealer quotations" means with respect to each reference treasury dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by
the quotation agent, of the bid and asked prices for the comparable treasury issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount)
quoted in writing to the quotation agent by such reference treasury dealer at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third business day preceding such
redemption date.

Mergers and similar events; issuer substitution: Neither we nor Equinor Energy may (i) consolidate or merge with another person or (ii) sell or lease
substantially all of our and our subsidiaries' or its and its subsidiaries' assets, in each case taken as a whole, to another person (other than one or
more of our direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries), whether such sale or lease is made directly or indirectly through one or more wholly owned
subsidiaries holding such assets or a portion thereof, or (iii) buy or lease substantially all of the assets of another person (other than our direct or
indirect wholly owned subsidiary), unless all the following conditions, among others, are met:

·
Where we or Equinor Energy merge out of existence or sell or lease substantially all of our or its assets, the other person must assume our or
Equinor Energy's obligations on the Notes or the guarantee of the Notes, as applicable, and under the Indenture. The other person's

assumption of these obligations must include the obligation to pay additional amounts described later under "--Payment of additional
amounts" with respect to taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed by its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or tax
residency; and

·
The merger, sale or lease of assets or other transaction must not cause a default on the Notes, and neither we nor Equinor Energy must
already be in default, unless the merger or other transaction would cure the default. For purposes of this no-default test, a default would
include an event of default that has occurred and not been cured, as described in the accompanying prospectus under "Description of Debt

Securities and Guarantees--Default and Related Matters--Events of Default--What is an Event of Default?" A default for this purpose
would also include any event that would be an event of default if the requirements for giving us default notice or the default having to exist
for a specific period of time were disregarded.
In addition, we are permitted to transfer the obligations of Equinor, as issuer of the Notes of any series, to any subsidiary, so long as (i) that
subsidiary executes a supplemental indenture in which it agrees to be bound by the terms of such Notes and the Indenture, including the obligation to
pay additional amounts described under "--Payment of additional amounts" with respect to taxes, assessments and other governmental charges
imposed by its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or tax residency and (ii) the obligations of that subsidiary are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by Equinor on the same terms as Equinor Energy's guarantee of such Notes. If that subsidiary is not incorporated in the Kingdom of
Norway, United States or United Kingdom, the country in which it is incorporated must be a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation
and Development (or any successor). The provisions of the Indenture with respect to consolidation, merger or sale or lease of assets will continue to
apply to Equinor in its capacity as guarantor of the Notes of the applicable series. Under U.S. tax law, the change in the obligor on the Notes of any
series could be treated as a disposition of such Notes that you hold, resulting in your realization of gain or loss on such Notes even though you

continue to hold the Notes and receive no distribution in connection with the deemed disposition. A change in the obligor might also result in
possible other adverse tax consequences. See "Taxation" for discussion of possible tax consequences.
No vote by holders of the Notes approving any of these actions is required, unless as part of the transaction we make changes to the Indenture
requiring your approval, as described in the accompanying prospectus under "Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees--Special Situations
-- Modification and Waiver". We may take these actions as part of a transaction involving outside third parties or as part of an internal corporate
reorganization. We may take these actions even if they result in a lower credit rating being assigned to the Notes of the applicable series or additional
amounts becoming payable in respect of

withholding tax and the Notes of the applicable series thus being subject to the optional redemption described under "--Optional tax redemption "
below.

·
Guarantee: Equinor Energy fully and unconditionally guarantees the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes,
including additional amounts, as described under "--Payment of additional amounts," if any, and sinking fund payments, if any, which may be
payable in respect of the Notes. Equinor Energy guarantees the payment of such amounts when such amounts become due and payable, whether at
the stated maturity of the Notes, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise.
Equinor Energy will automatically and unconditionally be released from all obligations under its guarantee and the guarantee shall thereupon
terminate and be discharged of no further force or effect, in the event that at substantially the same time as its guarantee of the Notes is terminated,
the aggregate amount of indebtedness for borrowed money for which Equinor Energy is an obligor (as a guarantor, co-issuer or borrower) does not
exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness for borrowed money of Equinor and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as of
such time. For purposes of this paragraph, the amount of Equinor Energy's indebtedness for borrowed money shall not include (x) any other debt the
terms of which permit the termination of Equinor Energy's guarantee of such debt under similar circumstances (including all debt issued under the
Indenture on or after November 18, 2019), as long as Equinor Energy's obligations in respect of such other debt are terminated at substantially the
same time as its guarantee of the Notes, and (y) any debt that is being refinanced at substantially the same time that the guarantee of the Notes is
being released, provided that any obligations of Equinor Energy in respect of the debt that is incurred in the refinancing shall be included in the
calculation of Equinor Energy's indebtedness for borrowed money.

·
Optional tax redemption: Equinor and Equinor Energy have the option to redeem the Notes of any series, in whole and not in part, at any time in the
two situations described below at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes of the applicable series plus accrued interest and any
additional amounts due on the date fixed for redemption upon providing between 30 and 60 days' notice.
The first situation is where, as a result of changes in or amendment to, or changes in the official application or interpretation of, any laws or
regulations or rulings, or changes in the official application or interpretation of, or any execution of or amendment to, any treaties on or after April 1,
2020 in the jurisdiction where Equinor or Equinor Energy is incorporated or, if different tax resident, Equinor or Equinor Energy, as applicable,
would be required to pay additional amounts as described below under "--Payment of additional amounts". If Equinor or Equinor Energy is
succeeded by another entity, the applicable jurisdiction will be the jurisdiction in which such successor entity is organized or incorporated or, if
different, tax resident, and the applicable date will be the date the entity became a successor. Equinor or Equinor Energy do not have the option to
redeem the Notes of the applicable series in this case if either Equinor or Equinor Energy, as applicable, could have avoided the payment of additional
amounts or the deduction or withholding by using reasonable measures available to Equinor or Equinor Energy, as applicable.
The second situation is where, following a merger, consolidation, sale or lease of Equinor's or Equinor Energy's assets to a person that assumes
Equinor's or Equinor Energy's obligations under the applicable series of Notes, that person is required to pay additional amounts as described below
under "--Payment of additional amounts". Equinor, Equinor Energy or the other person would have the option to redeem the Notes of the applicable
series in this situation even if the additional amounts became payable immediately after such assumption. None of Equinor, Equinor Energy or that
person has any obligation under the Indenture to seek to avoid the obligation to pay additional amounts in this situation. Equinor, Equinor Energy or
the other person, as applicable, shall deliver to the trustee an officer's certificate to the effect that the circumstances required for redemption exist.

·
Payment of additional amounts: None payable under current law. The government or any political subdivision or taxing authority of such
government of any jurisdiction where Equinor or Equinor Energy is

incorporated (currently the Kingdom of Norway) or, if different, tax resident may require Equinor or Equinor Energy to withhold amounts from
payments on the principal or interest on the Notes of any series or payment under the guarantees for taxes, assessments or any other governmental
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1140625/000119312520096018/d912625d424b2.htm[4/3/2020 8:08:25 AM]


424B2
charges. If any such jurisdiction requires a withholding of this type, Equinor or Equinor Energy may be required to pay the noteholder additional

amounts so that the net amount the noteholder receives will be the amount specified in the Notes. However, in order for the noteholder to be entitled
to receive the additional amounts, the noteholder must not be resident in the jurisdiction that requires the withholding. Equinor and Equinor Energy
will not have to pay additional amounts under any or any combination of the following circumstances:

·
The tax, assessment or governmental charge would not have been imposed but for the fact that the noteholder, or a fiduciary, settlor,
beneficiary or member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, the noteholder, if the noteholder is an estate, trust, partnership or

corporation, was or is connected to the taxing jurisdiction, other than by merely holding the Notes or receiving principal or interest in respect
thereof. These connections include where the noteholder or related party:


· is or has been a citizen or resident of the jurisdiction;


· is or has been present or engaged in trade or business in the jurisdiction; or


· has or had a permanent establishment in the jurisdiction.

·
The tax, assessment or governmental charge is imposed due to the presentation of the Notes (where presentation is required) for payment on a

date more than 30 days after the Notes of the applicable series became due or after the payment was provided for, whichever occurs later.

·
The tax, assessment or governmental charge is on account of an estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax,

assessment or other governmental charge.


·
The tax, assessment or governmental charge is for a tax or governmental charge that is payable in a manner that does not involve withholding.

·
The tax, assessment or governmental charge is imposed or withheld because the noteholder or beneficial owner failed to comply with any of

Equinor's following requests:


· to provide information about the nationality, residence or identity of the noteholder or beneficial owner, or


· to make a declaration or other similar claim or satisfy any information or reporting requirements,
in each case that the statutes, treaties, regulations or administrative practices of the taxing jurisdiction require as a precondition to exemption from all
or part of such tax, assessment or governmental charge.

·
The tax, assessment or governmental charge is imposed on a noteholder or beneficial owner who could have avoided such withholding or

deduction by presenting its Notes for payment (where presentation is required) to a different paying agent.

·
The noteholder is a fiduciary, partnership or other entity that is not the sole beneficial owner of the payment of the principal of, or any interest
on, the Notes, and the laws of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) require the payment to be

included in the income of a beneficiary or settlor for tax purposes with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such partnership or a beneficial
owner who would not have been entitled to such additional amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the
noteholder of the Notes.
The foregoing provisions will also apply to any present or future taxes, assessments or governmental charges imposed by any jurisdiction in which
Equinor's or Equinor Energy's successor (including a successor as a result of the substitution of Equinor as issuer as described in "--Mergers and
similar events; issuer substitution") is organized or incorporated or, if different, tax resident. If Equinor is substituted as issuer then the foregoing
provisions will continue to apply to Equinor in its capacity as guarantor.

Notwithstanding foregoing provisions, neither Equinor or Equinor Energy (nor any successor thereto, paying agent or any other person) shall be
required to pay any additional amounts with respect to any withholding or deduction imposed pursuant to Section 1471-1474 of the United States
Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") (and any current and future regulations or official interpretations thereof) ("FATCA"), the laws of Norway
implementing FATCA or any agreement between Equinor, Equinor Energy (or any successor thereto) and any taxing or governmental authority
entered into for FATCA purposes.

Day count convention: Following unadjusted. If any payment is due in respect of the Notes of a series on a day that is not a business day, it will be
made on the next following business day, provided that no interest will accrue on the payment so deferred.

·
Business day: A "business day" with respect to the Notes is any weekday on which banking or trust institutions in neither New York nor Oslo are
authorized generally or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close.

·
Denomination: The Notes will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
