Description détaillée Belfius Bank est une banque belge offrant une gamme de services financiers aux particuliers et aux entreprises, incluant des comptes courants, des crédits, des investissements et des assurances.

L'analyse rétrospective d'un instrument financier, l'obligation de type corporatif identifiée par le code ISIN XS0465282985, révèle les caractéristiques d'une émission antérieure de Belfius Bank, un acteur financier majeur en Belgique ; Belfius Bank est une banque universelle opérant principalement sur le marché belge, offrant une gamme étendue de services bancaires et d'assurance aux particuliers, aux entreprises et aux entités publiques, et est issue de la nationalisation de Dexia Banque Belgique par l'État belge en 2011, se positionnant depuis comme une institution financière stable et d'importance systémique contribuant activement au financement de l'économie locale. Cette émission spécifique, dont le pays d'origine était la Belgique, était libellée en dollars australiens (AUD) et représentait une taille totale substantielle de 100 000 000 AUD. Proposant un taux d'intérêt nominal fixe de 7,25%, cette obligation prévoyait une fréquence de paiement annuelle de ses coupons. L'acquisition de cette obligation nécessitait un investissement minimal de 2 000 AUD, permettant ainsi l'accès à différentes catégories d'investisseurs. La date d'échéance de cet instrument financier était fixée au 15 décembre 2016, date à laquelle, conformément à ses termes et conditions, l'obligation est arrivée à maturité et a été remboursée à 100% de sa valeur nominale aux porteurs, reflétant ainsi un processus d'extinction ordonné de la dette.









BELFIUS BANK SA/NV
(incorporated with limited liability in Belgium)
Euro 10,000,000,000
Euro Medium Term Note Programme
Under the Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "Programme") described in this base prospectus (which expression shall include this base prospectus as
amended and/or supplemented from time to time and all documents incorporated by reference herein, the "Base Prospectus"), Belfius Bank SA/NV ("Belfius
Bank" or the "Issuer"), subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and directives, may from time to time issue Euro Medium Term Notes that rank
as senior obligations of the Issuer (the "Senior Notes") and Euro Medium Term Notes that rank as subordinated obligations of the Issuer (the "Subordinated
Notes" and together with the Senior Notes, the "Notes"). The Senior Notes may be either senior preferred notes (the "Senior Preferred Notes") or senior non-
preferred notes (the "Senior Non-Preferred Notes"). It is the intention of the Issuer that the Senior Notes shall, for supervisory purposes, be treated as
MREL/TLAC-Eligible Instruments (as defined below).
The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding will not at any time exceed EUR 10,000,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies).
This Base Prospectus has been approved as a base prospectus for the purposes of Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "Prospectus Regulation") on
3 May 2022 by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF") in its capacity as competent authority under the Prospectus Regulation and
the Luxembourg law of 16 July 2019 on prospectuses for securities (loi relative aux prospectus pour valeurs mobilières), as amended (the "Luxembourg
Prospectus Law"). It contains information relating to the issue by the Issuer of Notes and must be read in conjunction with the documents incorporated by
reference herein. The CSSF has only approved this Base Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the
Prospectus Regulation. This approval should not be considered as an endorsement of the Issuer or of the quality of the Notes that are the subject of this Base
Prospectus. In accordance with Article 6(4) of the Luxembourg Prospectus Law, the CSSF does not make any representation as to the economic or financial
opportunity of the Notes nor as to the quality and solvency of the Issuer. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in any
Notes. The Issuer has requested the CSSF to notify the Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority (Autoriteit voor Financiële Diensten en Markten/Autorité
des Services et Marchés Financiers) of the approval of the Base Prospectus in accordance with Article 25 of the Prospectus Regulation.
The CSSF has neither reviewed nor approved the information contained in this Base Prospectus in relation to any issuance of any Notes that are not 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 (the "Market") and
for which a prospectus is not required in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation.
This Base Prospectus shall be valid for a period of one year from its date of approval, being until 3 May 2023. The obligation to supplement this Base Prospectus
in the event of a significant new factor, material mistake or material inaccuracy does not apply when this Base Prospectus is no longer valid.
In relation to any Notes, this Base Prospectus must be read as a whole and together with the applicable Final Terms (as defined below). Any Notes issued under
the Programme on or after the date of this Base Prospectus are issued subject to the provisions described or incorporated by reference herein. The issue price and
amount of the relevant Notes will be determined at the time of the offering of each Tranche based on the then prevailing market conditions.
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 this
Base Prospectus to be listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Market. References in this Base Prospectus to
Notes being "listed" (and all related references), except where the context otherwise requires, shall mean that such Notes have been listed and admitted to trading
on the Market. The Market is a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments and amending Directive 2002/92/EC
and Directive 2011/61/EU (recast), as amended. No certainty can be given that the application for the listing of any Notes will be granted. Furthermore, admission
of the Notes to the official list and trading on the Market is not an indication of the merits of the Issuer or the Notes. Unlisted Notes may also be issued pursuant
to the Programme. The applicable Final Terms in respect of the issue of any Notes will specify whether or not such Notes will be listed on the official list and
admitted to trading on the Market (or any other stock exchange).
The Notes issued will be in dematerialised form in accordance with the Belgian Companies and Associations Code and will be represented by a book-entry in the
records of the clearing system operated by the National Bank of Belgium (the "NBB") or any successor thereto (the "Securities Settlement System").
The Programme has been rated A in respect of Senior Preferred Notes with a maturity of one year or more, A-1 in respect of Senior Preferred Notes with a
maturity of less than one year, BBB+ in respect of Senior Non-Preferred Notes and BBB in respect of the Subordinated Notes by S&P Global Ratings Europe
Limited ("Standard & Poor's") and A1 in respect of Senior Preferred Notes with a maturity of one year or more, Prime-1 in respect of Senior Preferred Notes
with a maturity of less than one year, Baa1 in respect of Senior Non-Preferred Notes and Baa2 in respect of the Subordinated Notes by Moody's France SAS
("Moody's"). Each of Moody's and Standard & Poor's is established in the European Union and is included in the updated list of credit rating agencies registered
in accordance with Regulation (EC) No.1060/2009 on credit rating agencies, as amended by Regulation (EU) No 513/2011, as amended (the "EU CRA
Regulation") published on the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA")'s website (https://www.esma.europa.eu/) (on or about the date of this Base
Prospectus). Tranches of Notes (as defined in "Overview of the Programme") to be issued under the Programme will be rated or unrated. Where a Tranche of
Notes is to be rated, such rating will not necessarily be the same as the ratings assigned to the Programme. Whether or not a rating in relation to any Tranche of
Notes will be treated as having been issued by a credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered under the EU CRA Regulation will be
disclosed in the applicable Final Terms. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or
withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any U.S. state securities
laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons as defined in Regulation S
under the Securities Act ("Regulation S") except pursuant to an exemption from or in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities
Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available, and should not be offered, sold or
otherwise made available, in Belgium to "consumers" (consommateurs/consumenten) within the meaning of the Belgian Code of Economic Law (Code de droit
économique/Wetboek van economisch recht), as amended.
Prospective investors should have regard to the factors described under the section headed "Risk Factors" in the Base Prospectus. This Base Prospectus
does not describe all of the risks of an investment in the Notes.

Important information
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
GENERAL
This Base Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Notes in any Member State of the
European Economic Area (each, a "Relevant State") will be made pursuant to an exemption under the
Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of Notes. Accordingly, any person
making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant State of Notes which are the subject of an offering
contemplated in this Base Prospectus as completed by the final terms ("Final Terms") in relation to the offer
of those Notes may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for Belfius Bank or any Dealer
(as defined in "Overview of the Programme" below) to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the
Prospectus Regulation or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation, in each
case in relation to such offer. Neither Belfius Bank nor any Dealer has authorised, nor do they authorise, the
making of any offer of Notes in circumstances in which an obligation arises for Belfius Bank or any Dealer to
publish or supplement a prospectus for such offer. The expression "Prospectus Regulation" means Regulation
(EU) 2017/1129. This Base Prospectus has been prepared on the basis of Annexes 7 and 15 of Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980.
This Base Prospectus is to be read in conjunction with all documents which are incorporated herein by reference
(see "Documents Incorporated by Reference"). This Base Prospectus should be read and construed together
with any amendments or supplements hereto and, in relation to any Tranche of Notes, should be read and
construed together with the applicable Final Terms. Unless specifically incorporated by reference into this Base
Prospectus, information contained on websites mentioned herein does not form part of this Base Prospectus and
has not been scrutinised or approved by the CSSF.
Belfius Bank accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Base Prospectus and the Final Terms
for each Tranche of Notes issued under the Programme. To the best of the knowledge of Belfius Bank, the
information contained in this Base Prospectus is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely
to affect the import of such information.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, none of the Dealers or the Arranger accept any responsibility for the
contents of this Base Prospectus or for any other statement made or purported to be made by the Arranger or a
Dealer or on its behalf in connection with Belfius Bank or the issue and offering of the Notes. The Arranger
and each Dealer accordingly disclaim all and any liability whether arising in tort or contract or otherwise (save
as referred to above) which they might otherwise have in respect of this Base Prospectus or any such statement.
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 Belfius Bank, the Arranger or
the Dealers that any recipient of this Base Prospectus or any other financial statements should purchase 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 Dealers or the Arranger undertakes to review the financial condition or affairs of Belfius Bank 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. Investors should
review, amongst other things, the most recent financial statements of the Issuer when deciding whether or not
to purchase any Notes. Neither the Arranger nor the Dealers owe any fiduciary duties to any person in
connection with this Base Prospectus. No responsibility is accepted by the Dealers or the Arranger or any of
their directors, affiliates, advisers or agents for any act or omission of the Issuer or any other person (other than
the relevant Dealer or Arranger) in connection with the issue and offering of the Notes.
No person is or 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

2


Important information
information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised by Belfius Bank or any of the
Dealers or the Arranger (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 Belfius Bank since the date hereof or the date upon which this
Base Prospectus has been most recently amended or supplemented, or that there has been no adverse change in
the financial position of the Issuer since the date hereof or the date upon which this Base Prospectus has been
most recently amended or 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.
In the case of any Notes which are to be admitted to trading on a regulated market within the European
Economic Area or offered to the public in a Member State of the European Economic Area in circumstances
which would otherwise require the publication of a prospectus under the Prospectus Regulation, the minimum
specified denomination shall be EUR 100,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency as at the date of issue of
the Notes).
This Base Prospectus contains or incorporates by reference certain statements that constitute forward-looking
statements. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements relating to the Issuer's
business strategies, trends in its business, competition and competitive advantage, regulatory changes, and
restructuring plans. Words such as believes, expects, projects, anticipates, seeks, estimates, intends, plans or
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of
identifying such statements. The Issuer does not intend to update these forward-looking statements except as
may be required by applicable securities laws. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent
risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that predictions, forecasts, projections and
other outcomes described or implied in forward-looking statements will not be achieved. A number of important
factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the plans, objectives,
expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors include:
(i) the ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and access to capital markets; (ii) market and interest rate
fluctuations; (iii) the strength of global economy in general and the strength of the economies of the countries
in which the Issuer conducts operations; (iv) the potential impact of sovereign risk, particularly in certain
European Union countries which have recently come under market pressure; (v) adverse rating actions by credit
rating agencies; (vi) the ability of counterparties to meet their obligations to the Issuer; (vii) the effects of, and
changes in, fiscal, monetary, trade and tax policies, and currency fluctuations; (viii) the possibility of the
imposition of foreign exchange controls by government and monetary authorities; (ix) operational factors, such
as systems failure, human error, or the failure to implement procedures properly; (x) actions taken by regulators
with respect to the Issuer's business and practices in one or more of the countries in which the Issuer conducts
operations; (xi) the adverse resolution of litigation and other contingencies; (xii) the impact of events such as
the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine on the operations and financial position of the Issuer; and
(xiii) the Issuer's success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing. The foregoing list of important factors
is not exclusive; when evaluating forward-looking statements, investors should carefully consider the foregoing
factors and other uncertainties and events, as well as the other risks identified in this Base Prospectus.
This Base Prospectus contains various amounts and percentages which have been rounded and, as a result, when
those amounts and percentages are added up, they may not total.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION RELATING TO THE USE OF THIS BASE PROSPECTUS
AND OFFER OF THE NOTES GENERALLY
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 Belfius Bank, the
Dealers and the Arranger to inform themselves about and to observe any such restriction. For a description of

3


Important information
certain restrictions on offers and sales of Notes and on distribution of this Base Prospectus, see "Subscription
and Sale".
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"). Subject to certain exceptions, Notes may not be offered, sold or delivered within the
United States or to U.S. persons.
The Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Investors should make their own assessment as to
the suitability of an investment in the Notes. In particular, each potential investor may wish to consider, either
on its own or with the help of its financial and other professional advisers, whether it:
(i)
has sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Notes, the merits and
risks of investing in the Notes and the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Base
Prospectus or any applicable supplement;
(ii)
has access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its particular
financial situation, an investment in the Notes and the impact the Notes will have on its overall
investment portfolio;
(iii)
has sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Notes,
including Notes where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the potential
investor's currency;
(iv)
understands thoroughly the terms of the Notes and is familiar with the behaviour of any relevant financial
markets; and
(v)
is able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for economic,
interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments. The investment activities of certain investors
are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain authorities. Each
potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what extent (i) Notes are legal
investments for it, (ii) Notes can be used as collateral for various types of borrowing and (iii) other restrictions
apply to its purchase or pledge of any Notes. Financial institutions should consult their legal advisors or the
appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of Notes under any applicable risk-based capital
or similar rules.
Any decision to invest in the Notes should be based on a consideration of the Base Prospectus as a whole by
the investors.
This Base Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection with the issue of Notes constitutes an
offer of, or an invitation by or on behalf of Belfius Bank, the Dealers or the Arranger to subscribe for, or
purchase, any Notes.
The Notes where the Reference Rate is SONIA, SOFR or STR may only be held by, and may only be
transferred to, Eligible Investors referred to in Article 4 of the Belgian Royal Decree of 26 May 1994 holding
their Notes in an exempt securities accounts that has been opened with a financial institution that is a direct or
indirect participant in the Securities Settlement System operated by the National Bank of Belgium.
Prohibition of sales to 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 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, as amended ("MiFID
II"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU, as amended (the "Insurance Distribution

4


Important information
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 Regulation. Consequently,
no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as amended (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.
Prohibition of sales to UK retail investors ­ If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes includes a legend
entitled "Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors", the Notes 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 United
Kingdom (the "UK"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail
client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by
virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of the
provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended (the "FSMA 2000") and any rules or
regulations made under the FSMA 2000 to implement the Insurance Distribution Directive, where that customer
would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014
as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2
of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently, no key
information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of
the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available
to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making
them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
Prohibition of sales to consumers in Belgium ­ The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise
made available, and will not be offered, sold or otherwise made available, in Belgium to "consumers"
(consommateurs/consumenten) within the meaning of the Belgian Code of Economic Law (Code de droit
économique/Wetboek van economisch recht), as amended.
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. A
distributor subject to MiFID II is, however, 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.
UK MiFIR product governance / target market ­ The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a
legend entitled "UK MiFIR 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 distributor should take into
consideration the target market assessment. A distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention
and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules") is, however, 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 UK MiFIR Product
Governance Rules, any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but

5


Important information
otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for
the purpose of the UK MIFIR Product Governance Rules.
Benchmark Regulation ­ Amounts payable under the Notes may be calculated by reference to certain
reference rates. Any such reference rate may constitute a benchmark for the purposes of
Regulation (EU) 2016/1011, as amended (the "EU Benchmark Regulation"). If any such reference rate does
constitute such a benchmark, the applicable Final Terms will indicate whether or not the benchmark is provided
by an administrator included in the register of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by
the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") pursuant to Article 36 of the EU Benchmark
Regulation. Not every reference rate will fall within the scope of the EU Benchmark Regulation. Transitional
provisions in the EU Benchmark Regulation may have the result that the administrator of a particular benchmark
is not required to appear in the register of administrators and benchmarks at the date of the relevant Final Terms
(or, if located outside the European Union, recognition, endorsement or equivalence). The registration status of
any administrator under the EU Benchmark Regulation is a matter of public record and, save where required
by applicable law, the Issuer does not intend to update the relevant Final Terms to reflect any change in the
registration status of the administrator.
Amounts payable under the Notes may be calculated by reference to EURIBOR, SONIA, STR or SOFR, as
specified in the relevant Final Terms (or such other benchmark as may be specified in the relevant Final Terms).
As at the date of this Base Prospectus, the European Money Markets Institute (as administrator of EURIBOR)
is included in ESMA's register of administrators under Article 36 of the EU Benchmark Regulation. As at the
date of this Base Prospectus, the Bank of England (as administrator of SONIA), the European Central Bank (as
administrator of STR) and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (as administrator of SOFR) do not appear
in ESMA's register of administrators under the EU Benchmark Regulation. As far as the Issuer is aware, SONIA,
STR and SOFR do not fall within the scope of the EU Benchmark Regulation by virtue of Article 2 of the EU
Benchmark Regulation.
Notes issued as Green Bonds
None of the Issuer, the Arranger nor the Dealers accepts any responsibility for any social, environmental or
sustainability assessment of any Notes issued as Green Bonds or makes any representation or warranty or
assurance whether such Notes will meet any investor expectations or requirements regarding such "green",
"sustainability" or similar labels. None of the Arranger nor the Dealers are responsible for the use of proceeds
for any Notes issued as Green Bonds, nor the impact or monitoring of such use of proceeds.
No representation or assurance is given by the Issuer, the Arranger or the Dealers as to the suitability or
reliability of any opinion or certification of any third party made available in connection with an issue of Notes
issued as Green Bonds, nor is any such opinion or certification a recommendation by the Issuer, the Arranger
or any Dealer or any other person to buy, sell or hold any such Notes.
In the event any such Notes are, or are intended to be, listed or admitted to trading on a dedicated "green",
"sustainability" or other equivalently-labelled segment of a stock exchange or securities market, no
representation or assurance is given by the Issuer, the Arranger, the Dealers or any other person that such listing
or admission will be obtained or maintained for the lifetime of the Notes.
Any information on, or accessible through, the Issuer's website relating to the Issuer's Green Bond Framework
(as defined in the section headed "Use of Proceeds") and the information in the Green Bond Framework and
any second party opinion is not part of, nor is it incorporated in, this Base Prospectus and should not be relied
upon in connection with making any investment decision with respect to the Notes. In addition, no assurance
or representation is given by the Issuer, the Arranger, the Dealers or any other person as to the suitability or
reliability for any purpose whatsoever of any opinion, report or certification of any third party in connection
with the offering of the Notes. Any such opinion, report or certification and any other document related thereto
is not, nor shall it be deemed to be, incorporated in and/or form part of this Base Prospectus. Any such opinion

6


Important information
is only current as of the date that opinion was initially issued. Prospective investors must determine for
themselves the relevance of any such opinion and/or the information contained therein and/or the provider of
such opinion for the purpose of any investment in the Notes.
STABILISATION
In connection with the issue of any Tranche (as defined in the section "Overview of the Programme - Method
of Issue") of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the stabilising manager(s) (the "Stabilising
Manager(s)") (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) in the applicable Final Terms may
over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of 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 final 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 days after
the issue date of the relevant Tranche and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche. Any
stabilisation action or over-allotment must be conducted by the relevant Stabilising Manager(s) (or person(s)
acting on behalf of any Stabilising Managers) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
CURRENCIES
In this Base Prospectus, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, references to "U.S.$" are
to the lawful currency of the United States, to "euro", "EUR" and "" are to the lawful currency of the Member
States of the European Union that have adopted or adopt the single currency in accordance with the Treaty
establishing the European Union, as amended, and to "£" are to Sterling, the lawful currency of the United
Kingdom.
