ALLIANZ FINANCE II B.V.
(incorporated with limited liability in Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
ALLIANZ FINANCE III B.V.
(incorporated with limited liability in Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
25,000,000,000 Debt Issuance Programme
guaranteed by
ALLIANZ SE
Under this Base Prospectus, Allianz SE, Allianz Finance II B.V. and Allianz Finance III B.V. (the "Issuers" and each an
"Issuer"), subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and directives, may from time to time issue
unsubordinated bearer notes in a minimum denomination of 1,000 per Note (together the "Notes"). The aggregate
principal amount of Notes issued under the Debt Issuance Programme described in this Base Prospectus (the
"Programme") outstanding will not at any time exceed 25,000,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies). Notes
issued by Allianz Finance II B.V. or issued by Allianz Finance III B.V. will be guaranteed by Allianz SE (in such capacity
the "Guarantor"). The principal amount of the Notes, the issue currency, the interest payable in respect of the Notes, the
issue prices and maturities of the Notes and all other terms and conditions which are applicable to a particular Series and, if
applicable, Tranche of Notes (each term as defined below, see "General description of the Programme") will be set out in
the document containing the final terms (each "Final Terms") within the meaning of Art. 26(5) of the Prospectus
Regulation.
The Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF") of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in its capacity as
competent authority (the "Competent Authority") under the Prospectus Directive has approved this Base Prospectus as a
base prospectus within the meaning of Art. 5(4) of the Prospectus Directive pursuant to article 7 of the Luxembourg act
relating to prospectuses for securities (loi relative aux prospectus pour valeurs mobilières) dated 10 July 2005, as amended,
which implements the Prospectus Directive into Luxembourg law (the "Luxembourg Prospectus Law"). By approving this
Base Prospectus, CSSF gives no undertaking as to the economic and financial soundness of the operation or the quality or
solvency of the Issuers and the Guarantor (if any).
Application has also been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes issued under the Programme for the period of
twelve months from the date of the publication of this Base Prospectus to be listed on the official list of the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange (the "Official List") and to be admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market
"Bourse de Luxembourg", appearing on the list of regulated markets issued by the European Commission, and may be made
on any other regulated market in a Member State (a "Regulated Market") of the European Economic Area ("EEA"). The
Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market is a Regulated Market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial
Instruments Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended,"MiFID II"). However, Notes may be listed on any other stock exchange or
may be unlisted as specified in the relevant Final Terms.
The Notes may be offered to the public in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg ("Luxembourg"). The Issuer may request the
CSSF in its capacity as Competent Authority under Luxembourg Prospectus Law to provide competent authorities in host
Member States within the EEA with a certificate of approval attesting that the Base Prospectus has been drawn up in
accordance with the Luxembourg Prospectus Law ("Notification").
Each Tranche of Notes will be represented on issue either by a temporary global note (each a "Temporary Global Note")
or a permanent global note (each a "Permanent Global Note") only (the Temporary Global Note and the Permanent Global
Note, each a "Global Note"). Interests in a Temporary Global Note will be exchangeable, in whole or in part, for interest in
a Permanent Global Note on or after the date 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the relevant

issue date (the "Exchange Date"), upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership. The Notes are intended to be held
in a manner which would allow Eurosystem eligibility. Therefore, the Global Notes will be deposited on the issue date
either (i) in classical global note form with Clearstream Banking AG, Frankfurt am Main ("Clearstream, Frankfurt") or
(ii) in new global note form with a common safekeeper for Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and Clearstream
Banking, société anonyme ("Clearstream, Luxembourg") and/or any other agreed clearing system. It does not necessarily
mean that the Notes will be recognised as eligible collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy and intra-day credit operations
by the Eurosystem either upon issue or at any or all times during their life. Such recognition will depend upon satisfaction
of the Eurosystem eligibility criteria applicable from time to time.
This Base Prospectus will be published in electronic form on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
(www.bourse.lu). This Base Prospectus is valid for a period of twelve months after its approval.

This Base Prospectus comprises three base prospectuses for the purposes of giving information with regard to
the Issuers, the Guarantor, the Guarantor and its subsidiaries taken as a whole (the "Group" or "Allianz
Group") and the Notes which, according to the particular nature of the Issuers, the Guarantor and the Notes, is
necessary to enable investors to make an informed assessment of the assets and liabilities, financial position,
profit and losses and prospects of the Issuers and the Guarantor.
Allianz Finance II B.V. in respect of itself only, Allianz Finance III B.V. in respect of itself only and Allianz SE
in their capacity as issuers (the "Issuers" and each an "Issuer") and Allianz SE in its capacity as Guarantor (the
"Guarantor") accept responsibility for the information contained in this Base Prospectus. To the best of the
knowledge of the Issuers and the Guarantor, having taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case, the
information contained in this Base Prospectus is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely
to affect its import.
This Base Prospectus is to be read in conjunction with those pages of the documents which are incorporated
herein by reference (see "Documents Incorporated by Reference" below).
No person has been authorised to give any information or to make any representation other than those contained
in this Base Prospectus in connection with the issue or sale of the Notes and, if given or made, such information
or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuers, the Guarantor or the
Arranger or any Dealer (as defined in "Overview of the Programme"). Neither the delivery of this Base
Prospectus nor any sale made in connection herewith shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that
there has been no change in the affairs of each of the Issuers or the Guarantor since the date hereof or the date
upon which this Base Prospectus has been most recently supplemented or that there has been no adverse change
in the financial position of each of the Issuers or the Group since the date hereof or the date upon which this
Base Prospectus has been most recently supplemented or that any other information supplied in connection with
the Programme is correct as of any time subsequent to the date on which it is supplied or, if different, the date
indicated in the document containing the same.
The distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offering or sale of the Notes in certain jurisdictions may be
restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Base Prospectus comes are required by the Issuers, the
Guarantor and the Arranger to inform themselves about and to observe any such restriction. Neither the Notes
nor any guarantee in respect of the Notes have been or will be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act") or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of
the United States. The Notes will be issued in bearer form and are subject to certain U.S. tax law requirements.
Subject to certain exceptions, Notes may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to, or for
the account or benefit of, any U.S. person. The term "U.S. person" has the meaning ascribed to it in Regulation
S under the Securities Act ("Regulation S") and the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code") and regulations thereunder. The Notes are being offered and sold outside the United States to non-U.S.
persons pursuant to Regulation S and may not be legally or beneficially owned at any time by any U.S. person.
For a description of certain restrictions on offers and sales of Notes and on distribution of this Base Prospectus,
see "Subscription and Sale".
This Base Prospectus does not constitute an offer of, or an invitation by or on behalf of the Issuers, the
Guarantor or any Dealer to subscribe for, or purchase, any Notes.
MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET The Final Terms in respect of any Notes
will include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in
respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently
offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the 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 target market assessment) and determining
appropriate distribution channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID Product
Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product Governance Rules"), any
Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger
nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MiFID Product
Governance Rules.
PRIIPs / IMPORTANT EEA RETAIL INVESTORS If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes include a
legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or
otherwise made available to and, with effect from such date, should not be offered, sold or otherwise made
available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or
3

more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the
meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC (the "Insurance Mediation Directive"), where that customer would not
qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified
investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive. Consequently, no key information document required by
Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise
making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the
Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs
Regulation.
BENCHMARK REGULATION STATEMENT IN RELATION TO ADMINISTRATOR'S
REGISTRATION Amounts payable under floating rate Notes issued under the Programme are calculated by
reference to (i) the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") which is provided by the European Money
Markets Institute ("EMMI"), or (ii) the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") which is provided by the
ICE Benchmark Association ("IBA"). As at the date of this Prospectus, each of EMMI and IBA does not appear
on the register of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by the European Securities and
Markets Authority ("ESMA") pursuant to Article 36 of the Benchmark Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/1011)
(the "Benchmark Regulation"). As far as the Issuers are aware, the transitional provisions in Article 51 of the
Benchmark Regulation apply, such that EMMI and IBA are not currently required to obtain authorisation or
registration (or, if located outside the European Union, recognition, endorsement or equivalence).
The Arranger and the Dealers have not separately verified the information contained in this Base Prospectus.
Neither the Arranger nor any of the Dealers makes any representation, expressly or implied, or accepts any
responsibility, with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any information contained in this Base
Prospectus. Neither this Base Prospectus nor any other financial statements are intended to provide the basis of
any credit or other evaluation and should not be considered as a recommendation by any of the Issuers, the
Guarantor, the Arranger or the Dealers that any recipient of this Base Prospectus or any other financial
statements should purchase the Notes. Each potential purchaser of Notes should determine for itself the
relevance of the information contained in this Base Prospectus and its purchase of Notes should be based upon
such investigation as it deems necessary. None of the Arranger or the Dealers undertakes to review the financial
condition or affairs of each of the Issuers or the Guarantor during the life of the arrangements contemplated by
this Base Prospectus nor to advise any investor or potential investor in the Notes of any information coming to
the attention of any of the Dealers or the Arranger.
This Base Prospectus may only be used for the purpose for which it has been published.
Prospective investors should have regard to the factors described under the section headed "Risk Factors" in this
Base Prospectus. This Base Prospectus identifies in general terms certain information that a prospective investor
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 issued under the Programme as any evaluation of the suitability for an investor of an investment in
Notes issued under the Programme depends upon a prospective investor's particular financial and other
circumstances, as well as on specific terms of the relevant 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 any Notes.
In connection with the issue of any Tranche (as defined below), the Dealer or Dealers (if any) acting as
stabilisation manager(s) (the "Stabilisation Manager(s)") (or a person 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, stabilisation
may not necessarily occur. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public
disclosure of the terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche is made and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it
must end no later than the earlier of 30 calendar days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche and 60 calendar
days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche or, as the case may be, such other date(s) as may be
applicable to any such stabilising activities in the jurisdiction where such stabilising activities are to be effected.
Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must be conducted by the relevant Stabilisation Manager(s) (or a
person acting on behalf of any Stabilisation Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
Certain terms used in this Base Prospectus and financial measures presented in the documents incorporated by
reference are not recognized financial measures under IFRS ("Alternative Performance Measures") and may
therefore not be considered as an alternative to the financial measures defined in the accounting standards in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Issuers have provided these Alternative
Performance Measures because they believe they provide investors with additional information to assess the
economic situation of the Issuers' business activities. The definition of the Alternative Performance Measures
4

may vary from the definition of identically named alternative performance measures used by other companies.
The Alternative Performance Measures used by the Issuers should not be considered as an alternative to
measures derived in accordance with IFRS as measures of operating performance. These Alternative
Performance Measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as
substitutes for analysis of results as reported under IFRS.
In this Base Prospectus, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, references to "CHF" are to
the currency of Switzerland, references to "EUR", "euro", "Euro" and "" are to the currency introduced at the
third stage of European economic and monetary union pursuant to the Treaty establishing the European
Community as amended by the Treaty on European Union, references to "Sterling" and "£" are to the currency
of the United Kingdom and references to "US$", "USD" and "U.S. dollars" are to the currency of the United
States.

B.4b
Known trends affecting the Issuer and the In the property-casualty sector, premium growth is expected
industries in which it operates
to accelerate in 2018, reflecting higher inflation and the
ongoing broad based recovery of the global economy. In the
life sector, global industry profitability could also improve in
2018, albeit only modestly. The improvement would be
mainly a result of recent management actions which steered
insurance portfolios towards less capital intensive business
lines and investment portfolios towards riskier but higher-
yielding asset classes. For the asset management industry,
2018 might bring higher financial market volatility due to the
geopolitical uncertainty.
