(incorporated with limited liability in Finland)
5,000,000,000
Euro Medium Term Covered Note Programme
_________________________________________________
This base prospectus (the "Base Prospectus") describes the 5,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Covered Note Programme (the
"Programme") of Sampo Housing Loan Bank plc (the "Issuer"). Any Notes (as defined below) issued under the Programme on or
after the date of this Base Prospectus are issued subject to the provisions described herein. This does not affect any Notes already in
issue.
Under this Programme the Issuer may from time to time issue covered notes (the "Notes") denominated in any currency agreed
between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer (as defined below).
The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Notes from time to time outstanding under the Programme will not exceed
5,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies calculated as described in the Programme Agreement described herein), subject
to increase in accordance with the terms of the Programme Agreement.
The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified under "Overview of the Programme" and any
additional Dealer appointed under the Programme from time to time by the Issuer (each, a "Dealer" and, together, the "Dealers"),
which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis. References in this Base Prospectus to the "relevant Dealer"
shall, in the case of an issue of Notes being (or intended to be) subscribed by more than one Dealer, be to all Dealers agreeing to
subscribe such Notes.
The Issuer expects to merge into Sampo Bank plc (the "Merger") and Sampo Bank plc will be the surviving entity. It is currently
expected that the Merger will take place at the earliest in September 2011. In accordance with Condition 9.3, if the Merger becomes
effective, Sampo Bank plc will assume the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes, Receipts and Coupons (as applicable) including
any additional amounts. Although the Issuer currently expects the Merger to take place, no assurance is given by the Issuer in respect
thereof.
Application has been made to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF") in its capacity as competent
authority under the Luxembourg Act dated 10 July 2005 on prospectuses for securities to approve this document as a base
prospectus. Application has also been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes issued under the Programme to be
admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market and to be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange. The Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market is a regulated market for the purposes of the Markets in
Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2004/39/EC).
Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the issue price of Notes and any other
terms and conditions not contained herein which are applicable to each Tranche of Notes (as defined under "Terms and Conditions of
the Notes") will be set out in a final terms document (the "Final Terms") which, with respect to Notes to be listed on the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange, will be filed with the CSSF.
The Programme provides that Notes may be listed on such other or further stock exchange(s) as may be agreed between the Issuer
and the relevant Dealer. The Issuer may also issue unlisted Notes.
The Issuer may agree with any Dealer that Notes may be issued in a form not contemplated by the Terms and Conditions of the Notes
herein, in which event a prospectus supplement, if appropriate, will be made available which will describe the effect of the agreement
reached in relation to such Notes.
Particular attention is drawn to the section herein entitled "Risk Factors".

or delivered within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (see "Subscription and Sale").
This Base Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Notes in any jurisdiction to
any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction. The distribution of this Base
Prospectus and the offer, sale or delivery of Notes may be restricted by law in certain jurisdictions. The Issuer, the
Arrangers, the Dealers and the Note Trustee do not represent that this Base Prospectus may be lawfully distributed, or that
any Notes may be lawfully offered, in compliance with any applicable registration or other requirements in any such
jurisdiction, or pursuant to an exemption available thereunder, or assume any responsibility for facilitating any such
distribution or offering. In particular, no action has been taken by the Issuer, the Arrangers, the Dealers or the Note Trustee
which is intended to permit a public offering of any Notes or distribution of this Base Prospectus in any jurisdiction where
action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, no Notes may be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and neither this Base

This Base Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Notes in any Member State of the European
Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a "Relevant Member State") will be made pursuant to
an exemption under the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in that Relevant Member State, from the requirement to
publish a prospectus for offers of Notes. Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant
Member State of Notes which are the subject of an offering contemplated in this Base Prospectus as completed by final
terms in relation to the offer of those Notes may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or
any Dealer to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to
Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive, in each case, in relation to such offer. Neither the Issuer nor any Dealer have
authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of Notes in circumstances in which an obligation arises for the
Issuer or any Dealer to publish or supplement a prospectus for such offer.
All references in this document to "euro" and "" refer to the currency introduced at the start of the third stage of European
economic and monetary union pursuant to the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union, as amended.
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the Stabilisation Manager(s) (or
persons acting on behalf of any Stabilisation Manager(s)) in the applicable Final Terms may over allot 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 Stabilisation Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilisation
Manager(s)) will undertake stabilising action. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which adequate
public disclosure of the offer of the relevant Tranche of 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 relevant Tranche of Notes and 60 days after the date of
allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must be conducted by the relevant
Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and
rules.

If the Merger (as defined on page 1 of this Base Prospectus) takes place, Sampo Bank plc will be the surviving entity. It is
currently expected that the Merger will take place at the earliest in September 2011. In accordance with Condition 9.3, if the
Merger becomes effective, Sampo Bank plc will assume the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes, Receipts and
Coupons (as applicable) including any additional amounts. Although the Issuer currently expects the Merger to take place,
no assurance is given by the Issuer in respect thereof.
Structure Overview
·
Programme: Under the terms of the Programme, the Issuer will issue Notes to Noteholders on
each Issue Date. The Notes will be direct, unconditional and unsubordinated obligations of the
Issuer and rank pari passu among themselves and with all other Series of Notes issued by the
Issuer under the Programme with equal priority among the Notes to receive payment out of the
statutory priority interest under the Act on Mortgage Credit Bank Operations (Laki
kiinnitysluottopankkitoiminnasta 688/2010), as amended from time to time (the "MCBA").
·
The Note Proceeds: The net proceeds from each issue of Notes will be applied by the Issuer
towards funding its lending activities in accordance with the MCBA, and the Issuer's general
business principles as outlined in "Description of the Issuer" below (including, without limitation, the
financing or refinancing of the acquisition of mortgage loans from Sampo Bank plc and the
refinancing of previous issues of Notes under the Programme).
Up to 20 per cent. (or such larger amount as may be approved by the Finnish Financial Supervisory
Authority (the "FIN-FSA") on the application of the Issuer for a specific reason and for a specified
period of time), of the aggregate amount of all the collateral in the Cover Pool (as defined below)
may temporarily consist of supplementary collateral, as defined in the MCBA, including: (i) bonds
5


and other debt obligations issued by a central government, a municipality or another public-sector
entity or a credit institution (other than one belonging to the same consolidated group as the
Issuer); (ii) guarantees granted by a public-sector entity or a credit institution referred to in (i)
above; (iii) credit insurance given by an insurance company other than one belonging to the same
"group", as defined in the Act on Supervision of Finance and Insurance Groups (Laki rahoitus- ja
vakuutusryhmittymien valvonnasta 699/2004, as amended), as the Issuer; or (iv) assets of the
issuer deposited in the Bank of Finland or a deposit bank (other than one belonging to the same
consolidated group as the Issuer). However, the aggregate amount of notes or other debt
instruments issued by credit institutions, guarantees given by credit institutions and deposits with
credit institutions may not exceed 15 per cent. of the aggregate amount of all collateral in the Cover
Pool. Supplementary collateral is only permitted where eligible mortgage loans have not yet been
granted or registered as collateral for the Notes or the total amount of collateral does not fulfill the
provisions provided for in Sections 16 and 17 of the MCBA.
The Issuer may from time to time also enter into interest rate swaps with various swap providers to
hedge against differences between (a)(i) the interest rates applicable to the mortgage loans
included in the Cover Pool, (ii) the interest rates applicable to the cash accounts of the Issuer and
(iii) the interest rates applicable to the supplementary collateral from time to time held by, or on
behalf of, the Issuer and (b) the interest rates applicable to Notes issued under the Programme
from time to time.
·
Statutory priority: The Notes will be covered in accordance with the MCBA and will therefore
benefit from and rank pari passu among themselves and with the receivables of swap
counterparties and the providers of bankruptcy liquidity loans with respect to statutory priority over
certain assets of the Issuer conferred by the MCBA (the "Cover Pool") (see "Act on Mortgage
Credit Bank Operations" below). To the extent that claims of the Note Trustee (on behalf of the
Noteholders) in relation to Notes, receivables of the swap counterparties and claims of the
providers of bankruptcy liquidity loans are not met out of the Cover Pool, the residual claims of such
creditors will rank pari passu with the unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer.
·
Cash Flows: The Issuer will apply the issue proceeds of Notes issued from time to time under the
Programme in the manner set out under "The Note Proceeds" above. The Issuer will service its
payment obligations under the Notes by applying monies received by or on behalf of the Issuer
from time to time in respect of the mortgage loans, cash, supplementary collateral and other assets
of the Issuer (including amounts received by the Issuer from time to time under any interest rate
swaps entered into by the Issuer).
·
Asset Tests and Additional Test: The Programme provides that the assets of the Issuer are subject
to asset coverage tests in respect of the Notes (see "Maintenance of Portfolio" and "Characteristics
of the Qualifying Cover Assets Pool" below).
For so long as any of the Series 2 Notes (as defined in Condition 9.1) remains outstanding, the
Notes will be covered by the same Cover Pool as the Series 2 Notes. To ensure contractual parity
with the Series 2 Notes, if the Series 2 Notes become due and repayable pursuant to Condition 9.1
of the terms and conditions of the Series 2 Notes, all Programme Notes shall automatically become
immediately due and repayable at their Early Redemption Amount, together with accrued but
unpaid interest (if any) to the date of repayment (the "Cross-Default"). The key effect of the Cross-
Default is that, for so long as any of the Series 2 Notes remains outstanding, the Noteholders of
any Series issued after the date of this Base Prospectus will receive the benefit of, inter alia, the
covenants (including the Series 2 Asset Tests (as defined and set out in "Series 2 Asset Tests"))
and events of default in the Series 2 Notes (the "Series 2 Events of Default").
At any time after all Programme Notes have become immediately due and repayable pursuant to
Condition 9.1 (pursuant to the Cross-Default) and have not been repaid, the Note Trustee may, at
its discretion and without further notice, take such action against the Issuer as it may think fit to
6


enforce repayment thereof together with accrued but unpaid interest and to enforce the provisions
of the Trust Deed, subject to the provisions of Condition 9.
