GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMME
I. GENERAL
Under this 20,000,000,000 Medium Term Note Programme, E.ON, E.ON International Finance and
E.ON UK Finance may from time to time issue notes (the "Notes") to one or more of the following
Dealers: ABN AMRO Bank N. V., Barclays Bank PLC, Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank AG, Baye-
rische Landesbank, BNP Paribas, Calyon, Citigroup Global Markets Limited, Commerzbank Aktieng-
esellschaft, Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft, Dresdner Bank Aktiengesellschaft, HSBC Bank plc,
J. P. Morgan Securities Ltd., Mitsubishi UF J Securities International plc, The Royal Bank of Scotland
plc, WestLB AG and any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme from time to time by the
Issuer(s), which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis (together, the "Deal-
ers").
Deutsche Bank acts as arranger in respect of the Programme (the "Arrangers").
The maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding at any one time under the Pro-
gramme will not exceed 20,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency). The Issuers may
increase the amount of the Programme in accordance with the terms of the Dealer Agreement from
time to time.
Notes issued by E.ON International Finance and Notes issued by E.ON UK Finance will have the ben-
efit of a Guarantee (the "Guarantee") given by E.ON. The Guarantee constitutes an irrevocable, unse-
cured and unsubordinated obligation of the Guarantor ranking pari passu with all other unsecured
and unsubordinated obligations of the Guarantor.
Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers. Notes may be distributed
by way of public offer or private placements and, in each case, on a syndicated or non-syndicated
basis. The method of distribution of each tranche ("Tranche") will be stated in the relevant final terms
(the "Final Terms").
Notes will be issued in Tranches, each Tranche in itself consisting of Notes which are identical in all
respects. One or more Tranches, which are expressed to be consolidated and forming a single series
and identical in all respects, but having different issue dates, interest commencement dates, issue
prices and dates for first interest payments may form a series ("Series") of Notes. Further Notes may
be issued as part of existing Series. The specific terms of each Tranche will be set forth in the appli-
cable Final Terms.
Notes will be issued in such denominations as may be agreed between the relevant Issuer and the
relevant Dealer(s) and as indicated in the applicable Final Terms save that the minimum denomina-
tion of the Notes will be, if in euro, 1,000, and if in any currency other than euro, an amount in such
other currency equal to or exceeding the equivalent of 1,000 at the time of issue of Notes.
Notes will be issued with a maturity of twelve months or more.
Notes may be issued at an issue price which is at par or at a discount to, or premium over, par, as
stated in the relevant Final Terms.
Application has been made to list Notes on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to
trade Notes on the market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange appearing on the list of regulated
markets issued by the European Commission (Regulated Market "Bourse de Luxembourg"). The Pro-
gramme provides that Notes may be listed on other or further stock exchanges, as may be agreed
between the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s) in relation to each issue. Notes may further be
issued under the Programme which will not be listed on any stock exchange.
Notes will be accepted for clearing through one or more Clearing Systems as specified in the appli-
cable Final Terms. These systems will include those operated by Clearstream Banking, Société ano-
nyme and Euroclear Bank S. A./N. V. as operator of the Euroclear system.
5

Banque de Luxembourg will act as Luxembourg Listing Agent and Citibank, N. A., London Office will
act as fiscal agent (the "Fiscal Agent").
Banque de Luxembourg and other institutions, all as indicated in the applicable Final Terms, will act
as paying agents (the "Paying Agents") under the Programme.
II. ISSUE PROCEDURES
General
The relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s) will agree on the terms and conditions applicable to
each particular Tranche of Notes (the "Conditions"). The Conditions will be constituted by the Terms
and Conditions of the Notes set forth below (the "Terms and Conditions") as completed, modified or
replaced by the provisions of the Final Terms (the "Final Terms"). The Final Terms 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 German language or the English language or both (and, if
both, whether the German language version or the English language version is controlling).
As to whether Long-Form Conditions or Integrated Conditions will apply, the relevant Issuer antici-
pates that:
Long-Form Conditions will generally be used for Notes sold on a non-syndicated basis and which
are not publicly offered.
Integrated Conditions will generally be used for Notes sold and distributed on a syndicated basis.
Integrated Conditions will be required where the Notes are to be publicly offered, in whole or in
part, or are to be distributed, in whole or in part, to non-professional investors.
As to the controlling language of the respective Conditions, the relevant Issuer anticipates that, in
general, subject to any stock exchange or legal requirements applicable from time to time, and unless
otherwise agreed between the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer:
in the case of Notes sold and distributed on a syndicated basis, German will be the controlling
language.
in the case of Notes publicly offered, in whole or in part, in the Federal Republic of Germany
("Germany"), or distributed, in whole or in part, to non-professional investors in Germany, Ger-
man will be the controlling language. If, in the event of such public offer or distribution to non-
professional investors, however, English is chosen as the controlling language, a German lan-
guage translation of the Conditions will be available from the principal offices of the Fiscal Agent
and E.ON, as specified on the back cover of this Prospectus.
Long-Form Conditions
If the Final Terms specify that Long-Form Conditions are to apply to the Notes, the provisions of the
applicable Final Terms 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 Final Terms as if such information
were inserted in the blanks of such provisions;
the Terms and Conditions will be modified or replaced by the text of any provisions of the Final
Terms modifying 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 pro-
visions of the Final Terms are not completed or are deleted will be deemed to be deleted from the
Conditions; and
6

all instructions and explanatory notes set out in square brackets in the Terms and Conditions and
any footnotes and explanatory text in the Final Terms will be deemed to be deleted from the Con-
ditions.
Where Long-Form Conditions apply, each global note representing the Notes of the relevant Series
will have the Final Terms and the Terms and Conditions attached.
Integrated Conditions
If the Final Terms specify that Integrated Conditions are to apply to the Notes, the Conditions in
respect of such Notes will be constituted as follows:
all of the blanks in all applicable provisions of the Terms and Conditions will be completed accord-
ing to the information contained in the Final Terms and all non-applicable provisions of the Terms
and Conditions (including the instructions and explanatory notes set out in square brackets) will
be deleted; and/or
the Terms and Conditions will be otherwise modified or replaced, in whole or in part, according to
the information set forth in the Final Terms.
Where Integrated Conditions apply, the Integrated Conditions alone will constitute the Conditions.
The Integrated Conditions will be attached to each global note representing Notes of the relevant
Series.
