information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuer or any

date indicated in the document containing the same.
The distribution of this Prospectus and the offering or sale of the Notes and any related guarantee in
certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus comes
are required by the Issuer and the Managers to inform themselves about and to observe any such
restriction. The Notes and any related guarantee have not been and will not be registered under the

Prospective investors should have regard to the factors described under the section headed "Risk Factors" in

should consider prior to making an investment in the Notes. However, a prospective investor should conduct
its own thorough analysis (including its own accounting, legal and tax analysis) prior to deciding whether to
invest in any Notes as any evaluation of the suitability for an investor of an investment in the Notes pends
upon a prospective investor's particular financial and other circumstances, as well as on the specific terms of
the Notes and, if it does not have experience in financial, business and investment matters sufficient to
permit it to make such a determination, it should consult its financial adviser prior to deciding to make an
investment on the suitability of the Notes.

LATER THAN THE EARLIER OF 30 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE ISSUE DATE OF THE NOTES
AND 60 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF THE ALLOTMENT OF THE NOTES. ANY
STABILISATION ACTION OR OVER-ALLOTMENT MUST BE CONDUCTED BY THE RELEVANT
STABILISING MANAGER (OR A PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF ANY STABILISING

Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements
The statements contained herein may include prospects, future expectations and other forward-looking
statements that are based on management's current views and assumptions and involve known and unknown
risks and uncertainties. Actual results, performance or events may differ materially from those expressed in
such forward-looking statements. Such deviations may arise, without limitation, because of changes in the
general economic condition and competitive situation, particularly in the Allianz Group's core business and
core markets, or the impact of acquisitions, related integration issues and reorganization measures.
Deviations may also arise from the frequency and severity of insured loss events, including natural
catastrophes, and from the development of loss expenses, mortality and morbidity levels and trends,
persistency levels, and, particularly in our banking business, the extent of credit defaults. In addition, the
performance of the financial markets (particularly market volatility, liquidity and credit defaults) as well as
changes in interest rate levels, currency exchange rates and changes in national and international laws and
regulations, particularly tax regulation, may have a relevant impact. Many of these factors may be more
likely to occur, or more pronounced, as a result of terrorist activities and their consequences. The company
assumes no obligation to update any forwardlooking statement.

RISK FACTORS
Risk factors relating to Allianz SE/Allianz Group
The following is a description of risk factors in relation to Allianz SE. The realisation of any of the risks
described below may affect the ability of Allianz SE to fulfil its payment obligations in relation to the Notes
and/or may adversely affect the market price of Notes and can lead to losses for the Noteholders if they sell
Notes before they fall due for redemption. As a result, investors are exposed to the risk of losing their
investment in whole or in part. Additional risks not currently known to Allianz SE or Allianz Group that are
now immaterial may result in material risks in the future.
Words and expressions defined in the Terms and Conditions shall have the same meanings in this section.
Risks arising from the financial markets
The share price of Allianz SE has been and may continue to be volatile.
The share price of Allianz SE has been volatile in the past and may continue to be affected in particular in
the wake of the ongoing global financial crisis. The share price and trading volume of Allianz SE's common
stock may continue to be subject to significant fluctuations due in part to the high volatility in the securities
markets generally, and in financial institutions' shares in particular, as well as developments which impact
the Allianz Group's financial results. Factors other than the Allianz Group's financial results that may affect
Allianz SE's share price include but are not limited to: market expectations of the performance and capital
adequacy of financial institutions generally; investor perception of and the actual performance of other
financial institutions; investor perception of the success and impact of the Allianz Group's strategy; a
downgrade or rumored downgrade of the Allianz Group companies' credit ratings; potential litigation or
regulatory action involving the Allianz Group or any of the industries the Allianz Group has exposure to
through the Allianz Group's insurance, asset management and corporate and other activities; announcements
concerning the bankruptcy or other similar reorganization proceedings involving, or any investigations into
the accounting practices of, any insurance or reinsurance companies, banks or asset management companies
outside the Allianz Group; and general market volatility and liquidity conditions.
The Allianz Group's financial condition, liquidity needs, access to capital and cost of capital may be
significantly affected by adverse developments in the capital and credit markets.
If the capital and credit markets experience extreme volatility and disruption, the availability of liquidity and
credit capacity for certain issuers may be constrained, in particular in the wake of the ongoing global
financial crisis. The ability of the Allianz Group to meet its financing needs in an environment like this
depends on the availability of funds in the international capital markets. The financing of the Allianz Group's
activities includes, among other means, funding through commercial paper facilities and medium- and long-
term debt issuances. A sustained break-down of such markets could have a materially adverse impact on the
availability and cost of funding as well as on the refinancing structure of the Allianz Group. The availability
of financing will depend on a variety of factors such as market conditions, the general availability of credit,
the volume of trading activities, the overall availability of credit to the financial services industry, the credit
ratings and credit capacity of the Allianz Group companies, as well as the possibility that customers or
lenders could develop a negative perception of the Allianz Group's long- or short-term financial prospects if
the Allianz Group companies incur large investment losses or if the level of the Allianz Group's business
activity decreases due to a market downturn. Similarly, the Allianz Group's access to funds may be impaired
if regulatory authorities or rating agencies take negative actions against the Allianz Group companies. The
Allianz Group's internal sources of liquidity may prove to be insufficient, in which case the Allianz Group
may not be able to successfully obtain additional financing on favorable terms, or at all.
9


In addition, the ability of the Allianz Group to meet its financial needs also depends on the availability of
funds across the Group (e.g., in the form of intra-group loans or an international cash pooling infrastructure).
A worldwide persistent collapse of financial markets and downturn affecting many of the Group's operating
entities, however, may reduce the Group's flexibility in internally transferring funds.
Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the capital and credit markets may also limit the Allianz Group's
access to capital required to operate its business, most significantly the insurance operations. Such market
conditions may limit the Allianz Group's ability to replace, in a timely manner, maturing liabilities; satisfy
regulatory capital requirements; generate fee income and market-related revenue to meet liquidity needs; and
access the capital necessary to grow its business. As such, the Allianz Group may be forced to delay raising
capital, issue shorter tenor securities than preferred, or bear an unattractive cost of capital, any of which
could decrease the Allianz Group's profitability and significantly reduce the Allianz Group's financial
flexibility. The Allianz Group's results of operations, financial condition and regulatory capital position
could be materially adversely affected by disruptions in the financial markets.
Furthermore, a limited amount of the Allianz Group's funds is invested in private equity or other alternative
assets classes. The value of these investments may be impacted by turbulences in the financial markets.
Therefore, it may be difficult to renew the debt structure of leveraged investments.
The Allianz Group has been and may continue to be adversely affected by the development of the global
economy in general and global capital markets in particular. The Allianz Group's management cannot
assess how the global economy and the global capital markets will develop in the near future.
The Allianz Group's financial results are, amongst others, subject to market risk. Risk can arise, among
others, from adverse changes in interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, equity prices and other
relevant parameters, such as market volatility. The crisis in the North American mortgage market and the
subsequent crisis in the global capital markets have led to a re-evaluation of risks, particularly credit risks. In
addition, the Euro zone sovereign debt crisis and concerns over the viability of the European Union have
further increased uncertainties in the capital markets. The probability of default has increased for many asset
classes, including sovereign debt, resulting in a multitude of credit rating downgrades and widening credit
spreads. In addition, price volatility of many financial assets such as equities, credit and structured products
has increased significantly. At the same time, liquidity in the markets for these assets has fallen substantially,
making it difficult to sell certain assets at reasonable prices.
While the risks to the global economy are still substantial, the market continues to be concerned about a
potential increase in inflation, rising energy costs including oil prices, rising unemployment, limited
availability and higher cost of credit, continued pressure on real estate and mortgage markets, sovereign
indebtedness, in many developed countries, particularly the Eurozone and the United States, as well as
geopolitical and other risks. As a consequence, volatility may remain high or may even increase, and that the
prospects for the global economy and global capital markets remain challenging. There is a risk that the
global economic recovery remains subdued, or even turns into a recession.
Within the eurozone, adverse scenarios being driven by the uncertainty surrounding the European sovereign
debt crisis might lead to a Euro crisis. The sovereign debt-related difficulties in several other eurozone
countries, including, but not limited to, Greece, Italy, Ireland, Portugal and Spain, together with the risk of
contagion to other more stable countries, particularly France and Germany. To address the high levels of
public debt, many countries are curbing their government spending, thereby negatively affecting their
respective gross domestic products. This situation has also raised a number of questions regarding the
stability and overall standing of the eurozone, raising questions regarding the potential reintroduction of
national currencies in one or more eurozone countries or, in particularly dire circumstances, the
abandonment of the Euro.
