Application has been made to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the CSSF) in its capacity as competent authority under the loi relative aux prospectus pour
valeurs mobilières dated 10 July 2005, as amended, which implements the Prospectus Directive (the Luxembourg Act) to approve this document as a base prospectus. Such
application does not extend to money market instruments (as defined in the Prospectus Directive) having a maturity of less than one year or to Notes (which are not publically
offered) to be admitted to trading on the EuroMTF (as defined below). By approving this Base Prospectus, the CSSF gives no undertaking as to the economic or financial
opportuneness of the transaction or the quality or solvency of the Issuers in line with the provisions of article 7(7) of the Luxembourg Act. Application has also been made to the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes issued under the Programme to be admitted to trading on (i) the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market and to be listed on the

The EuroMTF is not a regulated market within the meaning of the Markets in Financial Instrument Directive 2004/39/EC of 21 April 2004 as amended but it is subject to the
supervision of the CSSF. Notes issued under the Programme may also be unlisted or listed and admitted to trading on any other market, including any other Regulated Market in any
Member State of the EEA and/or offered to the public in any Member State of the EEA. The applicable Final Terms in respect of the issue of any Notes (as defined below) will specify
whether or not such Notes will be listed and admitted to trading on any market and/or offered to the public in any Member State of the EEA and, if so, the relevant market.
Application has also been made to SIX Swiss Exchange to approve this document as an "issuance programme" for the listing of derivatives and an "issuance programme" for the
listing of bonds, both in accordance with the listing rules of SIX Swiss Exchange. In respect of Notes to be listed on SIX Swiss Exchange, this Base Prospectus and the applicable
Final Terms will constitute the listing prospectus pursuant to the listing rules of SIX Swiss Exchange.
The Notes and any guarantee thereof have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) or under the
securities law of any state or political sub-division of the United States, and trading in the Notes has not been approved by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (the CFTC)
under the United States Commodities Exchange Act, as amended (the CEA). No person has registered and no person will register as a commodity pool operator of any Issuer under
the CEA and the rules thereunder (the CFTC Rules) of the CFTC, and no Issuer has been and no Issuer will be registered as an investment company under the United States
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the Investment Company Act). The Notes are being offered and sold in reliance on an
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S thereunder (Regulation S).
Accordingly, the Notes may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred except in an "offshore transaction" (as defined under Regulation S) to or for the account or benefit
of a person who (a) is not a U.S. person as defined in Rule 902(k)(1) of Regulation S; and (b) is not a person who comes within any definition of U.S. person for the purposes of the
CEA or any CFTC Rule, guidance or order proposed or issued under the CEA (for the avoidance of doubt, any person who is not a "Non-United States person" defined under CFTC
Rule 4.7(a)(1)(iv), but excluding, for purposes of subsection (D) thereof, the exception for qualified eligible persons who are not "Non-United States persons," shall be considered a
U.S. person) (such a person or account, Permitted Transferee). The Notes described herein are available only to Permitted Transferees.
The CSSF has neither reviewed nor approved any information in this Base Prospectus pertaining to Notes listed on SIX Swiss Exchange and the CSSF assumes no responsibility in
relation to issues of Notes listed on SIX Swiss Exchange.

including qualified institutional buyers.
Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the issue price of Notes which are applicable to each Tranche (as defined in the Terms
and Conditions of the Notes) of Notes will be set out in a final terms document (the Final Terms) which (except in the case of Private Placement Notes (as defined in the sections
entitled "Terms and Conditions of the German Law Notes")) will be filed with the CSSF. The Programme provides that Notes may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be,
on such other or further stock exchanges or markets as may be agreed between the relevant Issuer, the Guarantor and the relevant Purchaser. Each Issuer may also issue unlisted
Notes and/or Notes not admitted to trading on any market.
The Notes may be rated at the latest on the relevant Issue Date by one or more rating agencies. The rating(s) of the Notes (if any) will be specified in the applicable Final Terms,
including as to whether or not such credit ratings are issued by credit rating agencies established in the European Union, registered (or which have applied for registration) under
Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council dated 16 September 2009, as amended (the CRA Regulation) and are included in the list of registered
credit rating agencies published at the website of the European Securities and Markets Authority (www.esma.europa.eu).










In general, European regulated investors are restricted from using a rating for regulatory purposes if such rating is not issued by a credit rating agency established in the European
Union and registered under the CRA Regulation unless the rating is provided by a credit agency operating in the European Union before 7 June 2010 which has submitted an
application for registration in accordance with the CRA Regulation and such registration is not refused. A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be
subject to suspension, change, or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency without notice.

Annex XXII of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 as amended. These elements are numbered in Sections A

Summary


deflationary risk should be kept under control by the intervention of the ECB which
has announced the implementation of a more accommodative monetary policy and
the use of its balance sheet to support growth. The depreciation of the euro and
falling oil prices should help boost exports and stimulate domestic demand. The US
economy should stay on a positive track and the Fed is expected to begin tightening
its monetary policy mid-year. Emerging countries have entered a phase of more
moderate growth, in particular China. Russia's economy is struggling with the
consequences of the Ukrainian crisis coupled with the drop in commodity prices.
From a regulatory standpoint, 2014 saw the implementation of the Banking Union.
The European Central Bank took the helm of the Single Supervisory Mechanism,
overseeing some 130 euro zone banks, with the aim of strengthening the banking
system, restoring the confidence of economic operators, harmonising banking
supervision rules and reducing the link between banks and their national authorities.
In terms of regulatory ratios, the Group can already meet the new requirements.]
