10 July 2005 concerning the prospectus relating to transferable securities (as amended by the Luxembourg laws
dated 3 July 2012, 21 December 2012 and 10 May 2016, the "Luxembourg Prospectus Law"), which
implements Directive 2003/71/EC of 4 November 2003 on the prospectus to be published when securities are
offered to the public or admitted to trading (as amended and supplemented from time to time, including by
Directive 2010/73/EU and Directive 2010/78/EU, as a base prospectus issued in compliance with the Luxembourg
Prospectus Law for the purpose of giving information with regard to the notes ("Notes") issued under the Euro
Medium Term Note Programme (the "Programme") described in this Base Prospectus during the period of
twelve (12) months after the date hereof. Application has been made for the Notes, during the period of twelve
(12) months after the date hereof, to be admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's Regulated
Market (Bourse de Luxembourg) and to be listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, which is
a regulated market as defined in the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive 2004/39/EC as amended (a
"Regulated Market") and published on the list of the regulated markets in the Official Journal of the European
Union. Pursuant to article 7(7) of the Luxembourg Prospectus Law, by approving this Base Prospectus, the CSSF
gives no undertaking as to the economic and financial characteristics of the Notes to be issued hereunder or the
quality or solvency of ArcelorMittal ("ArcelorMittal", the "Issuer" or the "Company"). The Programme also
permits Notes to be issued on the basis that they will not be admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation by any
competent authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system or to 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. In the case of any Notes which are to be listed and admitted to trading on a Regulated Market within the
European Economic Area and/or offered to the public in a Member State of the European Economic Area which
would otherwise require the publication of a prospectus under the Prospectus Directive (as defined herein) in
respect of such offering, the minimum specified denomination shall be 100,000 (or its equivalent in any other
currency as at the date of issue of the Notes).
Notes issued under the Programme may, or may not, be rated. The rating (if any) may be specified in the relevant

(EU) No 1060/2009 as amended (the "CRA Regulation") will be disclosed in the Final Terms. The list of
registered and certified rating agencies published by the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA")
will appear on its website (http://www.esma.europa.eu/page/List-registered-and-certified-CRAs) in accordance
with the CRA Regulation (as of 1 December 2015). A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities
and may be subject to suspension, change, or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.

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 the import
of such information.
Each Tranche (as defined herein) of Notes will be issued on the terms set out herein under
"Terms and Conditions of the Notes" (the "Conditions") as completed by a document specific
to such Tranche called final terms (the "Final Terms"). This Base Prospectus must be read and
construed together with any supplements hereto and with any information incorporated by
reference herein and, in relation to any Tranche of Notes, must be read and construed together
with the relevant Final Terms.
No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representation
concerning the Issuer, the Programme or the Notes, other than as contained or incorporated by
reference in this Base Prospectus and, if given or made, any such other information or
representation should not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Issuer or any Dealer.
Neither the Dealers (as defined herein) nor any of their respective affiliates have authorised the
whole or any part of this Base Prospectus and none of them makes any representation or
warranty or accepts any responsibility as to the accuracy or completeness of the information
contained in this Base Prospectus. Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus or any Final
Terms nor the offering, sale or delivery of any Note shall, in any circumstances, create any
implication that the information contained in this Base Prospectus is true subsequent to 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, or any event reasonably likely to
involve any adverse change, in the prospects or financial or trading position of the Issuer since
the date thereof or, if later, 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 at 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 any Final Terms and the offering, sale and delivery
of the Notes in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession
this Base Prospectus or any Final Terms comes are required by the Issuer and the Dealers to
inform themselves about and to observe any such restrictions. Any investor purchasing the
Notes under this Base Prospectus and any Final Terms is solely responsible for ensuring that
any offer or resale of the Notes it purchased under this Base Prospectus and any Final Terms
occurs in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. For a description of certain
restrictions on offers, sales and deliveries of Notes and on the distribution of this Base
Prospectus or any Final Terms and other offering material relating to the Notes, see
"Subscription and Sale". In particular, Notes have not been and will not be registered under the
4

United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Notes that are not
in registered form for U.S. federal tax purposes are subject to U.S. tax law requirements.
Subject to certain exceptions, Notes that are not in registered form for U.S. federal tax purposes
may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to U.S. persons.
Neither this Base Prospectus nor any Final Terms constitutes an offer or an invitation to
subscribe for or purchase any Notes and should not be considered as a recommendation by the
Issuer, the Dealers or any of them that any recipient of this Base Prospectus or any Final Terms
should subscribe for or purchase any Notes. Each recipient of this Base Prospectus or any Final
Terms shall be taken to have made its own investigation and appraisal of the condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Issuer.

Programme will not exceed 10,000,000,000 (and for this purpose, any Notes denominated in
another currency shall be translated into euro at the date of the agreement to issue such Notes

Programme may be increased from time to time, subject to compliance with the relevant
provisions of the Dealer Agreement as defined under "Subscription and Sale".

accordingly, figures shown for the same category presented in different tables may vary slightly
and figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures
which precede them.
This Base Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that, except to the extent sub-paragraph (ii)
below may apply, any offer of Notes in any Member State of the European Economic Area
(each, a "Member State") will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus
Directive, as implemented in that Member State, from the requirement to publish a prospectus
for offers of Notes. Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in that
Member State of Notes which are the subject of an offering contemplated in this Base
Prospectus as completed by Final Terms in relation to the offer of those Notes may only do so
(i) in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or any Dealer to publish a
prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus
pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive, in each case, in relation to such offer, or (ii)
if a prospectus for such offer has been approved by the competent authority in that Member
State or, where appropriate, approved in another Member State and notified to the competent
authority in that Member State and (in either case) published, all in accordance with the
Prospectus Directive, provided that any such prospectus has subsequently been completed by
Final Terms which specify that offers may be made other than pursuant to Article 3(2) of the
Prospectus Directive in that Member State, such offer is made in the period beginning and
5

ending on the dates specified for such purpose in such prospectus or final terms, and the Issuer
has consented in writing to its use for the purpose of such offer. Except to the extent
sub-paragraph (ii) above may apply, neither the Issuer nor any Dealer have authorised, nor do
they authorise, the making of any offer of Notes in circumstances in which an obligation arises
for the Issuer or any Dealer to publish or supplement a prospectus for such offer. The
expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended and
supplemented from time to time, including by Directive 2010/73/EU and any relevant
implementing measure in the Member State).
This document is only being distributed to and is only directed at (i) persons who are outside the
United Kingdom or (ii) investment professionals falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial
Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (the "Order") or (iii) high
net worth entities, and other persons to whom it may lawfully be communicated, falling within
Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order (all such persons together being referred to as "Relevant
Persons"). Any Notes will only be available to, and any invitation, offer or agreement to
subscribe, purchase or otherwise acquire such Notes will be engaged in only with Relevant
Persons. Any person who is not a Relevant Person should not act or rely on this document or
any of its contents.

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 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 final terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche of Notes
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 of Notes and 60 calendar
days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes. Any stabilisation
action or over-allotment must be conducted by the Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons
acting on behalf of the Stabilising Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and
rules.
