Fresenius US Finance II, Inc.
$300 million 4.50% Senior Notes due 2023
guaranteed on a senior basis by Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, Fresenius Kabi AG and Fresenius ProServe GmbH
Fresenius US Finance II, Inc. (the "Issuer") will issue on September 25, 2015 (the "Issue Date") up to $300 million aggregate principal amount of its
4.50% fixed rate senior notes due 2023 (the "Notes due 2023" or the "Notes") (the "Offering"). The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually on Janu-
ary 15th and July 15th of each year, commencing January 15, 2016. The Notes due 2023 will mature on January 15, 2023.
The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer and will rank equally with all of its existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The
Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis (the "Guarantees") by Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA (the "Parent Guarantor" or the "Company" and togeth-
er with its subsidiaries, the "Fresenius Group" or the "Group"), as well as Fresenius Kabi AG and Fresenius ProServe GmbH (together the "Subsidiary Guar-
antors" and, together with the Parent Guarantor, the "Guarantors"). Other subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor will not guarantee the Notes. The Notes and the
Guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all secured indebtedness of the Issuer and the Guarantors to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such
indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all liabilities of the Parent Guarantor's subsidiaries that are not guaranteeing the Notes.
The Notes are subject to the redemption provisions as set out elsewhere in this listing prospectus (the "prospectus").
This prospectus constitutes a prospectus within the meaning of Article 5 para. 3 of the Directive 2003/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Coun-
cil of November 4, 2003 (as amended, inter alia, by Directive 2010/73/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of November 24, 2010) (the "Prospectus
Directive") and has been drafted in accordance with the Luxembourg law on prospectuses for securities of July 10, 2005, as amended, (Loi relative aux prospectus
pour valeurs mobilières) (the "Luxembourg Prospectus Law"), which implements the Prospectus Directive into Luxembourg law.
This prospectus has been approved by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF"), in its capacity as competent authority under
the Luxembourg Prospectus Law, and will be published in electronic form on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (http://www.bourse.lu). By approv-
ing this prospectus, the CSSF gives no undertaking as to the economic or financial opportuneness of the transaction or the quality and solvency of the Issuer in line
with the provisions of Article 7 (7) of the Luxembourg law dated 10 July 2005 on prospectuses for securities. Offers for the Notes were made only pursuant to an
exception under Section 3 of the German Securities Prospectus Act (Wertpapierprospektgesetz, "WpPG") or an applicable exception under the national legislation
of the relevant member state of the EEA implementing the Prospectus Directive, as the case may be.
Application has been made to list the Notes on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to admit the Notes to trading on the regulated mar-
ket of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, a market appearing on the list of regulated markets issued by the European Commission pursuant to Directive 2014/65/EU
of May 15, 2014 on markets in financial instruments.
Investing in the Notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 1.
Notes due 2023 Issue Price: 100% plus accrued interest from the Issue date
Delivery of the Notes in book-entry form will be made through the Depository Trust Company, expected on September 25, 2015.
The Notes and the Guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
The Notes may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, except to qualified institutional buyers
in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A") and to certain non-U.S. persons in offshore
transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act ("Regulation S"). You are hereby notified that sellers of the Notes may be relying on the
exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. See "Notice to Investors" for additional information about eligi-
ble offerees and transfer restrictions.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives,
assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but
not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as "believes", "anticipates", "estimates", "intends", "expects",
"predicts", "plans", "seeks", "projects", "could" or "will" and similar formulations. These statements involve estimates,
assumptions and uncertainties which could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed in
them. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking
statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which
might not even be anticipated, and future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, could differ materially from those set
forth in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained elsewhere in this prospectus. We have based these forward-
looking statements on current estimates and assumptions made to the best of our knowledge. By their nature, such forward-
looking statements involve risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors which could cause actual results, including our
financial condition and profitability, to differ materially and be more negative than the results expressly or implicitly described in
or suggested by these statements. Moreover, forward-looking estimates or predictions derived from third parties' studies or
information may prove to be inaccurate. Consequently, we cannot give any assurance regarding the future accuracy of the
opinions set forth in this prospectus or the actual occurrence of the developments described herein. In addition, even if our future
results meet the expectations expressed here, those results may not be indicative of our performance in future periods. These risks,
uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from our projected results include, among
others, the following:
·
changes in general economic conditions, particularly economic conditions in our core markets;
·
changes in the markets in which we operate;
·
changes affecting interest rates;
·
changes affecting currency exchange rates;
·
changes in levels of competition;
·
changes in governmental and commercial insurer reimbursement for our complete products and services portfolio,
including the new Medicare reimbursement system for dialysis services;
·
changes in utilization patterns for pharmaceuticals and in our costs of purchasing pharmaceuticals;
·
the outcome of ongoing government investigations;
·
the influence of private insurers and managed care organizations;
·
the impact of recently enacted and possible future health care reforms;
·
product liability risks;
·
the outcome of ongoing potentially material litigation;
·
risks relating to the integration of acquisitions and our dependence on additional acquisitions;
vii

·
risks relating to compliance with the myriad government regulations applicable to our business including anti-
corruption acts and other comparable regulatory regimes in many of the countries in which we supply services or
products;
·
introduction of generic or new pharmaceuticals that compete with our pharmaceutical products;
·
changes in supply costs; and
·
the financial stability and liquidity of our governmental and commercial payers.
Important factors that could contribute to such differences are noted in this prospectus in the sections entitled "Risk
Factors", "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", "Business" and
"Business -- Legal Proceedings".
Our business is also subject to other risks and uncertainties that we describe from time to time in our public filings.
Developments in any of these areas could cause our results to differ materially from the results that we or others have projected or
may project. Our reported financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting methods, assumptions and
estimates that are the basis of our financial statements. The actual accounting policies, the judgments made in the selection and
application of these policies, and the sensitivities of reported results to changes in accounting policies, assumptions and estimates,
are factors to be considered along with our financial statements and the discussion below under "Results of Operations". For a
discussion of our critical accounting policies, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Critical Accounting Policies".
Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout this
prospectus. Key factors that have a direct bearing on our results of operations include, but are not limited to, those factors
indicated in this prospectus under the caption "Risk Factors".
Because the risk factors referred to in this prospectus could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those
expressed in any forward-looking statements made in this prospectus by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance
on any forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we
undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the
statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors will emerge in the future that could cause our
actual development, results of operations or performance to be materially different from what may be expressly or implicitly
assumed in forward-looking statements. It is not possible for us to predict what these new factors will be.
INDUSTRY INFORMATION
This prospectus contains or refers to numerical data, market data, analyst reports and other publicly available information
about our industry, or our estimates based largely on published market data or on numerical data derived from publicly accessible
sources. We believe that the estimates based on information that is not available from publicly accessible sources are accurate and
impartial, including data collected internally from market and competitor surveys. We have accurately reproduced and indicated
the respective source of the information in this prospectus from publicly accessible sources or otherwise acquired from third
parties. Where information in this prospectus has been specifically identified as having been extracted from third party documents,
each of the Issuer and the Guarantors confirms that this information has been accurately reproduced and that as far as the Issuer
and the Guarantors are aware and are able to ascertain from information published by that third party, no facts have been omitted
which would render the reproduced information inaccurate or misleading. You should bear in mind that we have not verified and
assume no liability for the numerical data, market data and other information from public sources. None of the Issuer, the
Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers makes any representation as to the accuracy of such information. In addition, you should bear
in mind that market studies are based on information and assumptions that may not be accurate or factually correct, and may be
forward-looking or speculative in nature.

possible that no relevant information can be given regarding the Element. In this case a short description of the Element is
included in the summary with the mention of "not applicable".

obligations of Fresenius Group as of June 30, 2015 immediately after giving effect to the
offering of the Notes. The Guarantors and certain of their respective subsidiaries will be
subject to the (restrictive) covenants in the Indenture.
(1)
Our corporate structure as of the date of this prospectus did not materially change compared with our corporate structure as of June 30, 2015. The Else
Kröner-Fresenius-Stiftung as major shareholder informed the Company in December 2014, that it held 144,695,094 ordinary shares of Fresenius SE &
Co. KGaA which represents 26.72% of the subscribed capital on December 31, 2014. On August 19, 2015, the Else Kröner-Fresenius-Stiftung informed
the Company that, as of that date, its interest in the subscribed capital of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA was 25.1%.
(2)
Each of the Guarantors has given senior guarantees for the Outstanding Senior Notes and the Notes offered hereby. Other than as marked, the Notes will
not be guaranteed by any of the other subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor.
(3)
As of June 30, 2015, Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA owned 30.98% of the outstanding ordinary voting shares of FMC AG & Co. KGaA. FMC AG & Co.
KGaA is a German partnership limited by shares. Fresenius Medical Care Management AG, the general partner of FMC AG & Co. KGaA, is a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA. Because corporate decisions are taken by the general partner for German partnerships limited by shares,
Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA has and, as long as it maintains ownership of more than 25% of the share capital of FMC AG & Co. KGaA, will retain a
factual controlling position (faktische Kontrolle) in FMC AG & Co. KGaA under the articles of association of FMC AG & Co. KGaA. Since this factual
controlling position (faktische Kontrolle) meets the control test for purposes of consolidation, Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA fully consolidates Fresenius
Medical Care in its consolidated financial statements.
Although Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA fully consolidates Fresenius Medical Care in its consolidated financial statements, in line with the Group's structure,
financing for Fresenius Medical Care and for the rest of our Group is conducted separately. There are no external joint financing facilities and no mutual
guarantees. Fresenius Kabi, Fresenius Helios and Fresenius Vamed business segments are financed primarily through Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA and
finance subsidiaries in order to minimize any structural subordination. Fresenius Medical Care is not a guarantor in respect of the 2013 Senior Credit
Agreement or the senior notes issued by Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA's financing subsidiaries, including the Notes offered hereby. As such, Fresenius
Medical Care will not be bound by the terms of the Notes issued hereunder, and neither it nor its subsidiaries will be subject to the covenants of the
Indenture or the terms of the Outstanding Senior Notes.
(4)
Fresenius US Finance II, Inc. issued US$500 million aggregate principal amount of 9.00% senior notes and 275 million aggregate principal amount of
8.75% senior notes, both of which matured on July 15, 2015. These notes have been repaid using available short-term financing sources. The proceeds of
this offering will be used to refinance these short-term financing sources.
