Except where specified otherwise, capitalised words and expressions in this Base Prospectus have the

Under this Euro 16,000,000,000 covered bond programme (the "Programme"), Crédit Agricole Italia S.p.A
(previously, Crédit Agricole Cariparma S.p.A.) ("Crédit Agricole Italia" or the "Issuer") may from time to
time issue obbligazioni bancarie garantite (the "Covered Bonds") denominated in any currency agreed
between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s). The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Covered
Bonds from time to time outstanding under the Programme will not exceed Euro 16,000,000,000 (or its
equivalent in other currencies calculated as described herein). Crédit Agricole Italia OBG S.r.l. (the
"Guarantor") has guaranteed payments of interest and principal under the Covered Bonds pursuant to a
guarantee (the "Covered Bond Guarantee") which is collateralised by a pool of assets (the "Cover Pool")
made up of a portfolio of mortgages assigned to the Guarantor by the Sellers and certain other assets held by
the Guarantor, including funds generated by the portfolio and such assets, pursuant to Article 7-bis of Italian
law No. 130 of 30 April 1999, as amended from time to time (the "Securitisation and Covered Bond
Law") and regulated by the Decree of the Ministry of Economy and Finance of 14 December 2006, No. 310,
as amended from time to time (the "Decree No. 310") and the supervisory guidelines of the Bank of Italy set
out in Part III, Chapter 3 of the "Disposizioni di vigilanza per le banche" (Circolare No. 285 of 17 December
2013), as amended and supplemented from time to time (the "Bank of Italy Regulations"). Recourse against
the Guarantor under the Covered Bond Guarantee is limited to the Cover Pool.
This Base Prospectus has been approved by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the
"CSSF"), which is the competent authority in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg for the purposes of the
Directive 2003/71/EC as amended (the "Prospectus Directive") and relevant implementing measures in
Luxembourg, as a base prospectus issued in compliance with the Prospectus Directive and relevant
implementing measures in Luxembourg for the purposes of giving information with regard to the issue of
Covered Bonds under the Programme during the period 12 months after the date hereof. The CSSF gives no
undertaking as to the economic and financial soundness of the transaction and the quality or solvency of the
Issuer in line with the provisions of article 7 (7) of the Luxembourg Law on Base Prospectuses for securities.
Application has been made for Covered Bonds issued under the Programme during the period of 12 months
from the date of this Base Prospectus to be listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and
admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, which is a regulated market
for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive 2014/65/EU (MIFID II). The Programme
also permits Covered Bonds to be issued on the basis that (i) they will be admitted to listing, trading and/or
quotation by such other or further competent authorities, stock exchanges and/or quotation systems as may
be agreed with the Issuer or (ii) they will not be admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation by any
competent authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system.

An investment in Covered Bonds issued under the Programme involves certain risks. See the section
entitled "Risk Factors" of this Base Prospectus for a discussion of certain risks and other factors to be
considered in connection with an investment in the Covered Bonds.
The Covered Bonds will be issued in dematerialised form and will be held on behalf of their ultimate owners
by Monte Titoli S.p.A. whose registered office is in Milan, at Piazza degli Affari, No.6, Italy, ("Monte
Titoli") for the account of the relevant Monte Titoli account holders. Monte Titoli will also act as depository
for Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, 42 Avenue JF
Kennedy, L-1855, Luxembourg ("Clearstream"). The Covered Bonds issued in dematerialised form will at
all times be held in book entry form and title to the Covered Bonds will be evidenced by book-entries in
accordance with the provisions of Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998, as amended and
supplemented (the "Financial Laws Consolidated Act") and implementing regulations and with the joint
regulation of the Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa ("CONSOB") and the Bank of Italy dated
13 August 2018 and published in the Official Gazette No. 201 of 30 August 2018, as subsequently amended
and supplemented. No physical document of title will be issued in respect of the Covered Bonds issued in
dematerialised form.
Each Series or Tranche may, on or after the relevant issue, be assigned a rating specified in the relevant Final
Terms by any rating agency which may be appointed from time to time by the Issuer in relation to any
issuance of Covered Bonds or for the remaining duration of the Programme, to the extent that any of them at
the relevant time provides ratings in respect of any Series of Covered Bonds. Whether or not each credit
rating applied for in relation to relevant Series of Covered Bonds will be issued by a credit rating agency
established in the European Union and registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 on credit rating
agencies as amended from time to time (the "CRA Regulation") will be disclosed in the Final Terms. The
credit ratings included or referred to in this Base Prospectus have been issued by the Rating Agencies, each
of which is established in the European Union and has been registered under the CRA Regulation as set out
in the list of credit rating agencies registered in accordance with the CRA Regulation published on the
website of the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") pursuant to the CRA Regulation (for
more information please visit the ESMA webpage http://www.esma.europa.eu/page/List-registered-and-
certified-CRAs). 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 (and such registration has not been withdrawn or suspended).
A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold Covered Bonds and may be revised or
withdrawn by any or all of the Rating Agencies and each rating shall be evaluated independently of
any other.
The Covered Bonds of each Series or Tranche will mature on the date mentioned in the applicable Final
Terms (each a "Maturity Date"). Before the relevant Maturity Date, the Covered Bonds of each Series or
Tranche will be subject to mandatory and/or optional redemption in whole or in part in certain circumstances
(as set out in the Conditions (as defined below)).
Interest amounts payable on Floating Rate Covered Bonds may be calculated by reference to one of LIBOR
and EURIBOR as specified in the relevant Final Terms. As at the date of this Base Prospectus, the European
Money Market Instiitute (as administrator of EURIBOR) is not included in ESMA's register of
administrators under article 36 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 (the "Benchmarks Regulation"). As at the
date of this Base Prospectus, the ICE Benchmark Administration (as administrator of LIBOR) is included in
ESMA's register of administrators under article 36 of the Benchmarks Regulation.
As far as the Issuer is aware, the transitional provisions in article 51 of the Benchmarks Regulation apply,
such that European Money Market Institue (as administrator of EURIBOR) is not currently required to

Prospectus before the legal proceedings are initiated.
This Base Prospectus may only be used for the purpose for which it has been published.

connection therewith, may be required to provide confirmation of its compliance with such resale or other
transfer restrictions in certain cases.
The Arranger is acting for the Issuer and no one else in connection with the Programme and will not be
responsible to any person other than the Issuer for providing the protection afforded to clients of the
Arranger or for providing advice in relation to the issue of the Covered Bonds.
In connection with the issue of any Series under the Programme, the Dealer or the Dealers (if any)
which is specified in the relevant Final Terms as the stabilising manager (the "Stabilising Manager")
or any person acting for the Stabilising Manager may over-al ot any such Series or effect transactions
with a view to supporting the market price such Series at a level higher than that which might
otherwise prevail for a limited period. However, there may be no obligation on the Stabilising
Manager (or any agent of the Stabilising Manager) to do this and there is no assurance that the
Stabilising Manager wil undertake stabilisation action. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after
the date on which adequate public disclosure of the final terms of the offer of the Covered Bonds 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 Series and 60 days after the date of the allotment of any such Series. Such
stabilising shall be in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and rules.

PRIIPs / IMPORTANT ­ EEA RETAIL INVESTORS - Unless the Final Terms in respect of any Cover
Bonds specifies "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors" as "Not Applicable", the Covered Bonds are
not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise
made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (EEA). For these purposes, a retail
investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of
Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on markets in financial instruments (as
amended, MiFID II); or (ii)a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU (as amended, the
Insurance Mediation Directive), where that customer would not qualify as a professionali client as defined
in point (10) OF article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation
MILAN-1-300135-v12

47-40333929




(EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended or superseded, the PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or sel ing the Covered
Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore
offering or selling the Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA
may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
MIFID II product governance / target market ­ The Final Terms in respect of any Covered Bonds will
include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in
respect of the Covered Bonds and which channels for distribution of the Covered Bonds are appropriate. Any
person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Covered Bonds (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 Covered Bonds (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 Covered Bonds is a manufacturer in respect of such Covered Bonds, 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.

RISK FACTORS
This section describes the principal risk factors associated with an investment in the Covered Bonds and
includes disclosure of all material risks in respect of the Covered Bonds. Prospective purchasers of Covered
Bonds should consider carefully all the information contained in this document, including the considerations
set out below, before making any investment decision. This section of the Base Prospectus is split into two
main sections ­ General Investment Considerations relating to the Covered Bonds and Investment
Considerations relating to the Issuer and the Guarantor.
All of these factors are contingencies which may or may not occur and neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor
are in a position to express a view on the likelihood of any such contingency occurring. In addition, factors
which the Issuer and the Guarantor believe may be material for the purpose of assessing the market risks
associated with Covered Bonds issued under the Programme are also described below. Each of the Issuer
and the Guarantor believes that the factors described below represent the principal risks inherent in
investing in the Covered Bonds issued under the Programme, but the inability of the Issuer or the Guarantor
to pay interest, principal or other amounts on or in connection with any Covered Bonds may occur for other
reasons which may not be considered significant risks by the Issuer and the Guarantor based on the
information currently available to them or which they may not currently be able to anticipate. Neither the
Issuer nor the Guarantor represents that the statements below regarding the risks of holding any Covered
Bonds are exhaustive. Prospective investors should also read the detailed information set out elsewhere in
this Base Prospectus (including any document incorporated by reference) and reach their own views prior to
making any investment decision.

GENERAL INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE COVERED BONDS
Issuer liable to make payments when due on the Covered Bonds
The Issuer is liable to make payments when due on the Covered Bonds. The obligations of the Issuer under
the Covered Bonds are direct, unsecured, unconditional and unsubordinated obligations, ranking pari passu
without any preference amongst themselves and equally with its other direct, unsecured, unconditional and
unsubordinated obligations. Consequently, any claim directly against the Issuer in respect of the Covered
Bonds will not benefit from any security or other preferential arrangement granted by the Issuer.
The Guarantor has no obligation to pay the Guaranteed Amounts payable under the Covered Bond Guarantee
until the occurrence of an Issuer Event of Default and service by the Representative of the Covered
Bondholders on the Issuer and on the Guarantor of an Issuer Default Notice or, if earlier, following the
occurrence of a Guarantor Event of Default and service by the Representative of the Covered Bondholders of
a Guarantor Default Notice. The occurrence of an Issuer Event of Default does not constitute a Guarantor
Event of Default. However, failure by the Guarantor to pay amounts due under the Covered Bond Guarantee
would constitute a Guarantor Event of Default which would entitle the Representative of the Covered
Bondholders to accelerate the obligations of the Issuer under the Covered Bonds (if they have not already
become due and payable) and the obligations of the Guarantor under the Covered Bond Guarantee. Although
the Receivables included in the Cover Pool are originated by the Issuer, they are transferred to the Guarantor
on a true sale basis and an insolvency of the Issuer would not automatically result in the insolvency of the
Guarantor.
Obligations under the Covered Bonds
The Covered Bonds will not represent an obligation or be the responsibility of any of the Arranger, the
Dealers, the Representative of the Covered Bondholders or any other party to the Programme, their officers,
members, directors, employees, security holders or incorporators, other than the Issuer and the Guarantor.
The Issuer and the Guarantor will be liable solely in their corporate capacity for their obligations in respect
MILAN-1-300135-v12
- 9 -
47-40333929




of the Covered Bonds and such obligations will not be the obligations of their respective officers, members,
directors, employees, security holders or incorporators.
Extraordinary Resolutions and the Representative of the Covered Bondholders
A meeting of Covered Bondholders may be called to consider matters which affect the rights and interests of
Covered Bondholders. These include (but are not limited to): instructing the Representative of the Covered
Bondholders to enforce the Covered Bond Guarantee against the Issuer and/or the Guarantor; waiving an
Issuer Event of Default or a Guarantor Event of Default; cancelling, reducing or otherwise varying interest
payments or repayment of principal or rescheduling payment dates; altering the priority of payments of
interest and principal on the Covered Bonds; and any other amendments to the Transactions Documents. A
Programme Resolution will bind all Covered Bondholders, irrespective of whether they attended the Meeting
or voted in favour of the Programme Resolution. No Resolution, other than a Programme Resolution, passed
by the holders of one Series of Covered Bonds will be effective in respect of another Series unless it is
sanctioned by an Ordinary Resolution or an Extraordinary Resolution, as the case may require, of the holders
of that other Series. Any Resolution passed at a Meeting of the holders of the Covered Bonds of a Series
shall bind all other holders of that Series, irrespective of whether they attended the Meeting and whether they
voted in favour of the relevant Resolution.
In addition, the Representative of the Covered Bondholders may agree to the modification of the Transaction
Documents without consulting Covered Bondholders to correct a manifest error or where such modification
(i) is of a formal, minor, administrative or technical nature or an error established as such to the satisfaction
of the Representative of the Covered Bondholders or (ii) in the opinion of the Representative of the Covered
Bondholders, is not or will not be materially prejudicial to Covered Bondholders. It should also be noted that
after the delivery of an Issuer Default Notice, the protection and exercise of the Covered Bondholders' rights
against the Issuer will be exercised by the Guarantor (or the Representative of the Covered Bondholders on
its behalf). The rights and powers of the Covered Bondholders may only be exercised in accordance with the
Rules of the Organisation of the Covered Bondholders. In addition, after the delivery of a Guarantor Default
Notice, the protection and exercise of the Covered Bondholders' rights against the Guarantor and the security
under the Guarantee is one of the duties of the Representative of the Covered Bondholders. The Conditions
limit the ability of each individual Covered Bondholder to commence proceedings against the Guarantor by
conferring on the Meeting of the Covered Bondholders the power to determine in accordance with the Rules
of Organisation of the Covered Bondholders, whether any Covered Bondholder may commence any such
individual actions.
Representative of the Covered Bondholders' powers may affect the interests of the Covered Bondholders
In the exercise of its powers, trusts, authorities and discretions the Representative of the Covered
Bondholders shall only have regard to the interests of the Covered Bondholders and the Other Creditors, as
applicable, but if, in the opinion of the Representative of the Covered Bondholders, there is a conflict
between these interests the Representative of the Covered Bondholders shall have regard solely to the
interests of the Covered Bondholders. In the exercise of its powers, trusts, authorities and discretions, the
Representative of the Covered Bondholders may not act on behalf of the Sel er.
If, in connection with the exercise of its powers, trusts, authorities or discretions, the Representative of the
Covered Bondholders is of the opinion that the interests of the holders of the Covered Bonds of any one or
more Series would be materially prejudiced thereby, the Representative of the Covered Bondholders shall
not exercise such power, trust, authority or discretion without the approval of such Covered Bondholders by
Extraordinary Resolution or by a written resolution of such Covered Bondholders holding not less than 25
per cent. of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Covered Bonds of the relevant Series then outstanding.
