Issue Procedures
General
The Issuer and the relevant Dealer will agree on the terms and conditions applicable to each particular
tranche of Notes (the "Conditions"), which will be constituted by the Terms and Conditions as
completed, modified, supplemented or replaced by the provisions of the applicable Pricing
Supplement as provided below. The Pricing Supplement relating to each tranche of Notes will specify:
­
whether the Conditions are to be Long-Form Conditions or Integrated Conditions (each as described
below); and
­
whether the Conditions will be in the English language or the German language or both (and, if both,
whether the English language version or the German language version is controlling).
As to the controlling language of the respective Conditions, the Issuer anticipates that, in general,
subject to any stock exchange or legal requirements applicable from time to time, and unless
otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer:
­
In the case of Notes publicly offered, in whole or in part, in the Federal Republic of Germany or
distributed, in whole or in part, to non-professional investors in the Federal Republic of Germany,
German will be the controlling language. If, in the event of such public offer or distribution to non-
professional investors, however, English is chosen as controlling language, a German language
translation of the Conditions will be available from the respective offices of the Paying Agent in the
Federal Republic of Germany and the Issuer, and in the case of Notes issued by Volkswagen
Leasing GmbH, Volkswagen Financial Services N.V. or Volkswagen Finance Japan KK, the
Guarantor specified on page 117 and 118 of this Information Memorandum.
As to whether Long-Form Conditions or Integrated Conditions will apply, the Issuer anticipates that:
­
Long-Form Conditions will generally be used for Notes which are not publicly offered.
­
Integrated Conditions will be required where the Notes are to be publicly offered, in whole or in
part, or to be distributed, in whole or in part, to non-professional investors.
Long-Form Conditions
If the Pricing Supplement specifies that Long-Form Conditions are to apply to the Notes, the provisions
of the applicable Pricing Supplement and the Terms and Conditions, taken together, shall constitute the
Conditions. Such Conditions will be constituted as follows:
­
the blanks in the provisions of the Terms and Conditions which are applicable to the Notes will be
deemed to be completed by the information contained in the Pricing Supplement as if such
information were inserted in the blanks of such provisions;
­
the Terms and Conditions will be modified, supplemented or replaced by the text of any provisions
of the Pricing Supplement modifying, supplementing or replacing, in whole or in part, the provisions
of the Terms and Conditions;
­
alternative or optional provisions of the Terms and Conditions as to which the corresponding
provisions of the Pricing Supplement are not completed or are deleted will be deemed to be
deleted from the Conditions; and
­
all instructions and explanatory notes set out in square brackets in the Terms and Conditions and
any footnotes and explanatory text in the Pricing Supplement will be deemed to be deleted from
the Conditions.
Where Long-Form Conditions apply, each Global Note representing the Notes of the relevant Series will
have the Pricing Supplement and the Terms and Conditions attached. If Definitive Notes are delivered
in respect of the Notes of such Series, they will have endorsed thereon either (i) the Pricing
Supplement and the Terms and Conditions in full, (ii) the Pricing Supplement and the Terms and
Conditions in a form simplified by the deletion of non-applicable provisions, or (iii) Integrated
Conditions, as the Issuer may determine.
