S-6

APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
The Treaty on European Union aims to establish an internal market that works for the sustainable development of Europe. Ensuring an
appropriate regulatory environment is a priority area of the EU's Capital Markets Union. The European Commission's Action Plan on "Financing
Sustainable Growth" has been designed to help reorient capital flows towards sustainable investment.
For this purpose, an EU regulation proposal of May 2018 (the "Proposal") aims to stimulate companies to measure the impact of their
activities on sustainable objectives via the development of a shared understanding of sustainability. The Proposal underlines that the European
Union is committed to the implementation of the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (the "Agenda") and takes on board in
all its actions and policy initiatives the Agenda's Sustainable Development Goals.
The task of the EIB is to contribute to the balanced and steady development of the internal market in the interest of the European Union. In
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/33745/000095015720000623/form424b5.htm[5/14/2020 11:22:26 AM]

July 2007, in congruence with the EU Energy Action Plan, the EIB issued the first Climate Awareness Bond (CAB) with a focus on renewable
energy and energy efficiency. The goal was to increase accountability of disbursements via precise eligibility criteria and to provide transparent
impact assessment to capital markets.
Sustainability Awareness Bonds (SABs) complement CABs by extending the same approach from climate to further areas of environmental
and social sustainability. The proceeds of the Notes will be allocated to the EIB's lending to activities contributing to sustainability objectives in
line with EU legislation, e.g. those included in the Proposal at this stage:
? sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources;
? transition to a circular economy, waste prevention and recycling;
? pollution prevention and control;
? protection of healthy ecosystems.
Sustainability objectives and activities are subject to revision in the context of EU legislative developments. Such revisions will not be notified
to any holders of the Notes.
The net proceeds of $989,220,000 from the sale of the Notes (which proceeds may be converted into euro) will be allocated within the EIB's
treasury to a sub-portfolio of the operational money market portfolio. So long as the Notes are outstanding, the balance of the sub-portfolio will be
reduced by amounts matching disbursements made to eligible lending projects. Pending such disbursement, the sub-portfolio will be invested in
money market instruments.

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
The following description of the particular terms of the 0.875% Notes due 2030 offered hereby (the "Notes", referred to in the accompanying
prospectus as the "Securities") supplements, and to the extent, if any, inconsistent therewith replaces, the description of the general terms and
provisions to the Securities set forth in the accompanying prospectus to which description reference is hereby made. Such descriptions do not
purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Fiscal Agency Agreement, copies of which are available for inspection
at the Fiscal Agent's office at Citigroup Centre, Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5LB, United Kingdom, and to the form of Global
Note filed by the EIB with the SEC.
General
The Notes will be issued under a fiscal agency agreement dated as of May 18, 2018 (the "Fiscal Agency Agreement", as described in the
accompanying prospectus), between the EIB and Citibank, N.A., London Branch, as fiscal agent (the "Fiscal Agent").

Interest will be paid on the Notes at the rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and will be payable May 17 and
November 17 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), with the initial payment on November 17, 2020 (short first coupon for the period
from, and including, May 19, 2020 to, but excluding, November 17, 2020). The Notes will bear interest from May 19, 2020. The Notes are not
subject to any sinking fund or to redemption prior to maturity. Registration or transfer of Notes will be effected without charge to the holders
thereof.

If any Interest Payment Date or the maturity date is a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law to close in New
York or in a place of payment, then payment of principal or interest need not be made on that Interest Payment Date or the maturity date. The EIB
may make the required payment on the next succeeding day that is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law to
close in New York or in the place of payment. The payment will be made with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or
maturity date and no additional interest shall accrue for the period from the Interest Payment Date or maturity date to the date of actual payment.
Payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes made at the offices of the Fiscal Agent or any paying agent shall be subject in all cases to
any fiscal or other laws and regulations applicable thereto. Consequently, neither the EIB nor any paying agent will make any additional payment
in the event of a withholding tax being required in respect of any payment under or in connection with the Notes. Neither the EIB nor any paying
agent shall be liable to any holder of the Notes or other person for commissions, costs, losses or expenses in relation to or resulting from such
payments. In addition to the Notes, the EIB may issue from time to time other series of securities under the Fiscal Agency Agreement consisting of
notes, bonds, debentures or other unsecured evidences of indebtedness.
The Fiscal Agent will be responsible for:

?
maintaining a record of the aggregate holdings of Notes;

?
ensuring that payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes received by the Fiscal Agent from the EIB are duly credited to the
holders of the Notes; and
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/33745/000095015720000623/form424b5.htm[5/14/2020 11:22:26 AM]

?
transmitting to the EIB any notices from the holders of the Notes.
The Notes shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, except with respect to authorization
and execution by the EIB which shall be governed by the Statute of the EIB (the "Statute") set forth in a Protocol annexed to the Treaty on the
Functioning of the European Union, as amended or supplemented from time to time (the "Treaty").

S-7

Payment of Principal and Interest

Interest will be payable to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the date that is ten calendar days
prior to each Interest Payment Date. The principal of and interest on the Notes will be paid in such coin or currency of the United States as at the
time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. The EIB may change or terminate the designation of paying agents
from time to time. Payments of principal and interest at such agencies will be subject to applicable laws and regulations, including any withholding
or other taxes, and will be effected by check, or, under certain circumstances, by transfer to an existing United States dollar account maintained by
such holder with a bank in New York City. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months
unadjusted.
The EIB will redeem the Notes on May 17, 2030 at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest to date.
The EIB shall have the right at any time to purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise. Any Notes so purchased may be resold at the
EIB's discretion if not surrendered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation.
The Fiscal Agent is not a trustee for the holders of the Notes and does not have the same responsibilities or duties to act for such holders as
would a trustee.
The Notes will be sold in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.
Further Issues
The EIB may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the Notes, create and issue further notes ranking pari passu
with the Notes in all respects (or in all respects except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such further notes or except for
the first payment of interest following the issue date of such further notes) and such further notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with
the Notes and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Notes.
Notices
All notices will be published in English in London in the Financial Times, in New York in The Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition) and, so
long as any of the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of that Exchange so require, on the website of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange at http://www.bourse.lu. If at any time publication in any such newspaper is not practicable, notices will be valid if
published in an English language newspaper with general circulation in the respective market regions as determined by the EIB. Any such notice
shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once on different dates, on the first date on which
publication is made.

Regarding the Fiscal Agent
Citibank, N.A., London Branch will be acting in its capacity as Fiscal Agent through its office located at Citigroup Centre, Canada Square,
Canary Wharf, London E14 5LB, United Kingdom.

Under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement dated May 12, 2020 (the "Underwriting Agreement"),
the underwriters named below (the "Underwriters") have severally agreed to purchase, and the EIB has agreed to sell to them, severally, the
respective principal amount of the Notes set forth opposite their respective names below:
Principal
Amount of
Name

Notes

BNP Paribas
$250,000,000
Citigroup Global Markets Limited
$250,000,000
Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft
$250,000,000
Merrill Lynch International
$250,000,000

$1,000,000,000
The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the Notes are subject to,
among other things, the approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and certain other conditions. The Underwriters are obligated to take and
pay for all the Notes if any are taken.
The Underwriters propose initially to offer the Notes to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus
supplement.
In order to facilitate the offering of the Notes, Merrill Lynch International (or any person acting for it) as lead stabilization agent (the "Lead
Stabilization Agent") may over-allot the Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Notes at a level higher than
that which might otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the Lead Stabilization Agent (or any person acting for it) will undertake
stabilization action. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the
Notes is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the Notes and 60
days after the date of allotment of the Notes. Any stabilization action or over-allotment of the Notes must be conducted by the Lead Stabilization
Agent (or any person acting for it) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.

Certain of the Underwriters and their affiliates engage in transactions with, and perform services for, the EIB in the ordinary course of business
and have engaged, and may in the future engage, in commercial banking and investment transactions with the EIB. In addition, as a result of
upfront payments that may be made by certain of the Underwriters in connection with some of the costs incurred by the EIB in relation to issuance
of the Notes, the actual net amounts received by such Underwriters may be lower than the Underwriters' discounts and commissions set forth in
this prospectus supplement.

The Notes are offered for sale in those jurisdictions in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and elsewhere where it is lawful to make such
offers.
Each of the Underwriters has represented and agreed that it and each of its affiliates has not and will not offer, sell or deliver any of the Notes
directly or indirectly, or distribute this prospectus supplement or the prospectus or any other offering material relating to the Notes, in or from any
jurisdiction except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations thereof and that will not impose any
obligations on the EIB except as set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.
In particular, each Underwriter has represented and agreed that:
(i) it and each of its affiliates has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be
communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and
Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA")) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any Notes in circumstances in which section 21(1) of
the FSMA does not apply to the EIB;

S-9

(ii) it and each of its affiliates has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by
it in relation to any Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom;

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/33745/000095015720000623/form424b5.htm[5/14/2020 11:22:26 AM]

(iii) the Notes have not been and will not be qualified for sale under the securities laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof;
(iv) it and each of its affiliates has not offered or sold, and will not offer or sell, any Notes, directly or indirectly, in Canada or to, or for
the benefit of, any resident thereof, except pursuant to available exemptions from applicable Canadian provincial and territorial laws; and
(v) the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan (Act No. 25 of 1948,
as amended) (the "FIEA"), and the Notes will not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, any resident of
Japan (which term as used herein means any person resident in Japan, including any corporation or other entity organized under the laws of
Japan), or to others for re-offering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, any resident of Japan, except pursuant
to an exemption from the registration requirements of, and otherwise in compliance with, the FIEA and any other applicable laws, regulations
and ministerial guidelines of Japan.

The EIB does not fall under the scope of application of the MiFID II package. Consequently, the EIB does not qualify as an "investment firm",
"manufacturer" or "distributor" for the purposes of MiFID II. Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target
market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties, professional
clients and retail clients, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate, subject to the distributor's
suitability and appropriateness obligations under MiFID II, as applicable. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a
"distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible
for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market
assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels, subject to the distributor's suitability and appropriateness obligations under MiFID
II, as applicable.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression "manufacturer" means any Underwriter that is a manufacturer under MiFID II and the
expression "MiFID II" means Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended.
Purchasers of the Notes may be required to pay stamp taxes and other charges in accordance with the laws and practices of the country of
purchase in addition to the issue price set forth on the cover page hereof.
Expenses associated with this offering are estimated to be $175,000.
The EIB has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about May 19, 2020. Trades of securities in the secondary
markets generally are required to settle in two business days, referred to as T+2, unless the parties to the trade agree otherwise. Accordingly, by
virtue of the fact that the initial delivery of the Notes will not be made on a T+2 basis, investors who wish to trade the Notes before a final
settlement will be required to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.
