EMIRATES NBD BANK PJSC
(incorporated with limited liability in the United Arab Emirates)
U.S.$1,000,000,000 Perpetual Additional Tier 1 Capital Securities
The U.S.$1,000,000,000 Perpetual Additional Tier 1 Capital Securities (the "Capital Securities") shall be issued by Emirates NBD Bank PJSC (the "Issuer" or "ENBD") on 20 March 2019 (the "Issue
Date"). Interest Payment Amounts (as defined in the Conditions) shall be payable subject to and in accordance with terms and conditions set out in the "Terms and Conditions of the Capital Securities"
(the "Conditions") on the Prevailing Principal Amount (as defined in the Conditions) of the Capital Securities from (and including) the Issue Date to (but excluding) 20 March 2025 (the "First Call
Date") at a rate of 6.125 per cent. per annum. If the Capital Securities are not redeemed in accordance with the Conditions on or prior to the First Call Date, Interest Payment Amounts shall continue to
be payable from (and including) the First Call Date subject to and in accordance with the Conditions at a fixed rate, to be reset on the First Call Date and every six years thereafter, equal to the Relevant
Six-Year Reset Rate (as defined in the Conditions) plus a margin of 3.656 per cent. per annum. Interest Payment Amounts will (subject to the occurrence of a Non-Payment Event (as defined in, and as
more particularly provided in, Condition 6.1 (Interest Cancellation ­ Non-Payment Event))) be payable semi-annually in arrear on 20 March and 20 September in each year, commencing on 20 September
2019 (each, an "Interest Payment Date"). Payments on the Capital Securities will be made free and clear of, without withholding or deduction for, or on account of any present or future taxes, duties,
assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature, imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the Tax Jurisdiction (as defined in the Conditions) (the "Taxes") to the extent
described under Condition 12 (Taxation). All payments by the Issuer in respect of the Capital Securities shall be conditional upon satisfaction of the Solvency Conditions (as defined in the Conditions)
and no bankruptcy order in respect of the Issuer having been issued by a court in the United Arab Emirates, as more particularly described in Condition 4 (Status and Subordination) (see, in particular,
"Risk Factors ­ Factors which are material for the purpose of assessing the risks associated with the Capital Securities - The Capital Securities are subordinated, conditional and unsecured obligations
of the Issuer").
If a Non-Viability Event (as defined in the Conditions) occurs, a Write-down (as defined in the Conditions) shall occur on the relevant Non-Viability Event Write-down Date (as defined in the Conditions),
as more particularly described in Condition 10 (Write-Down at the Point of Non-Viability). In such circumstances, the Capital Securities shall automatically be deemed to be irrevocably and
unconditionally written-down by the relevant Write-down Amount (as defined in the Conditions) and, in the case of the Write-down Amount corresponding to the full Prevailing Principal Amount of
the Capital Securities, the Capital Securities shall be cancelled (see "Risk Factors ­ Factors which are material for the purpose of assessing the risks associated with the Capital Securities - The right to
receive repayment of the principal amount of the Capital Securities and the right for any further interest will be permanently written-down upon the occurrence of a Non-Viability Event").
The Issuer may elect, in its sole discretion, and in certain circumstances shall be required, not to pay interest falling due on the Capital Securities. Any Interest Payment Amounts not paid as aforesaid
will not accumulate and the holder of a Capital Security shall not have any claim in respect thereof.
The Capital Securities are undated and have no final maturity. Unless the Capital Securities have previously been redeemed or purchased and cancelled as provided in the Conditions, the Capital Securities
may, at the option of the Issuer, subject to the prior approval of the Regulator (as defined in the Conditions), be redeemed (in whole but not in part) at the Early Redemption Amount (as defined in the
Conditions) on the First Call Date or any Interest Payment Date thereafter. In addition, the Capital Securities may, upon the occurrence of a Tax Event or Capital Event (each as defined in the Conditions),
be redeemed (in whole but not in part) at the Tax Redemption Amount or the Capital Event Redemption Amount (each as defined in the Conditions), respectively, subject to the prior approval of the
Regulator and subject to the Conditions.
The payment obligations of the Issuer under the Capital Securities (i) constitute direct, unsecured, conditional (as described in Conditions 4.2(b) (Subordination of the Capital Securities) and 4.3 (Solvency
Conditions)) and subordinated obligations of the Issuer that rank pari passu and without preference or priority amongst themselves; (ii) rank subordinate and junior to all Senior Obligations (as defined
in the Conditions) (but not further or otherwise); (iii) rank pari passu with all Pari Passu Obligations (as defined in the Conditions); and (iv) rank in priority only to all Junior Obligations (as defined in
the Conditions). Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Conditions, to the extent that any of the Solvency Conditions are not satisfied at the relevant time or if a bankruptcy order in
respect of the Issuer has been issued by a court in the United Arab Emirates, all claims of the holders of the Capital Securities under the Capital Securities will be extinguished and the Capital
Securities will be cancelled without any further payment to be made by the Issuer under the Capital Securities.
Upon the occurrence of an Enforcement Event (as defined in the Conditions), any holder of the Capital Securities may give written notice to the Issuer at the specified office of the Fiscal Agent (as
defined in the Conditions), effective upon the date of receipt thereof by the Fiscal Agent, that such Capital Security is due and payable, whereupon the same shall, subject to Condition 10 (Write down
at the point of Non-Viability) and Condition 11.4 (Enforcement Events ­ Restrictions) become forthwith due and payable at its Early Redemption Amount (as defined in the Conditions), without
presentation, demand, protest or other notice of any kind.
An investment in the Capital Securities involves certain risks. For a discussion of these risks, see "Risk Factors".
The Capital Securities may only be offered, sold or transferred in registered form in minimum principal amounts of U.S.$200,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof. Delivery of the
Capital Securities in book-entry form will be made on the Issue Date. The Capital Securities will be represented by interests in a global certificate in registered form (the "Global Certificate") deposited
on or about the Issue Date with, and registered in the name of a nominee for, a common depositary (the "Common Depositary") for Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking
S.A. ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"). Interests in the Global Certificate will be shown on, and transfers thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by Euroclear and Clearstream,
Luxembourg. Individual Certificates (as defined in the Conditions) evidencing holdings of interests in the Capital Securities will be issued in exchange for interests in the Global Certificate only in
certain limited circumstances described herein.
This Prospectus has been approved by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF"), in its capacity as competent authority under the Luxembourg Act dated 10 July 2005 on
prospectuses for securities (the "Luxembourg Law") and Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended or superseded, the "Prospectus Directive"), as a prospectus. By approving this Prospectus, the CSSF
assumes no responsibility as to the economic and financial soundness of the Capital Securities or in respect of the quality or solvency of the Issuer pursuant to Article 7(7) of the Luxembourg Law.
Application has also been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the Capital Securities to be admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market (the "Luxembourg
Regulated Market") and to be listed on the official list (the "Luxembourg Official List"). This Prospectus has been approved by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (the "DFSA") under Rule 2.6
of the DFSA's Markets Rules (the "Markets Rules") and is therefore an approved prospectus for the purposes of Article 14 of the DIFC Law No. 1 of 2012 (the "Markets Law"). Application has also
been made to the DFSA for the Capital Securities to be admitted to the official list of securities maintained by the DFSA (the "DFSA Official List") and to Nasdaq Dubai for such Capital Securities to
be admitted to trading on Nasdaq Dubai.
References in this Prospectus to Capital Securities being "listed" (and all related references) shall mean that such Capital Securities have been (a) admitted to listing on the Luxembourg Official List and
the DFSA Official List and (b) admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Regulated Market (which is a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended ("MiFID II")) and on
Nasdaq Dubai.
This Prospectus relates to an Exempt Offer in accordance with the Markets Rules of the DFSA. This Prospectus is intended for distribution only to persons of a type specified in the Markets Rules. It
must not be delivered to, or relied on by, any other person. The DFSA does not accept any responsibility for the content of the information included in this Prospectus, including the accuracy or
completeness of such information. The liability for the content of this Prospectus lies with the Issuer. The DFSA has also not assessed the suitability of the Capital Securities to which this Prospectus
relates to any particular investor or type of investor. If you do not understand the contents of this Prospectus or are unsure whether the Capital Securities to which this Prospectus relates are suitable for
your individual investment objectives and circumstances, you should consult an authorised financial adviser.
Amounts payable under the Capital Securities, following the First Call Date, will be calculated by reference to rates for U.S. Treasury securities which are published by the U.S. Federal Reserve System.
As of the date of this Prospectus, the U.S. Department of Treasury does not appear on the register of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by the European Securities and Markets
Authority ("ESMA") pursuant to Article 36 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 (the "Benchmarks Regulation"). As far as the Issuer is aware, the U.S. Department of Treasury does not fall within the scope
of the Benchmarks Regulation by virtue of article 2 of the Benchmarks Regulation.
The Issuer has been assigned long-term credit ratings of A+ (stable outlook) and A3 (stable outlook) by Fitch Ratings Limited ("Fitch") and Moody's Investors Service Cyprus Ltd ("Moody's"),
respectively. The Issuer has been assigned short-term credit ratings of F1 and P-2 by Fitch and Moody's, respectively. As at the date of this Prospectus, the Capital Securities are not rated. Each of Fitch
and Moody's is established in the European Union and is registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009, as amended (the "CRA Regulation"). As such each of Fitch and Moody's is included in the
list of credit rating agencies published by ESMA on its website (at https://www.esma.europa.eu/supervision/credit-rating-agencies/risk) in accordance with the CRA Regulation.
A 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 Capital Securities have not been, nor will be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or
other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered, sold or delivered 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 state securities laws. Accordingly, the
Capital Securities may be offered or sold solely to persons who are not U.S. Persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S. Each purchaser of the Capital Securities is hereby notified that
the offer and sale of Capital Securities to it is being made in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Regulation S.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
This Prospectus complies with the requirements in Part 2 of the Markets Law and Chapter 2 of the Markets
Rules and comprises a prospectus for the purposes of Article 5.3 of the Prospectus Directive, and for the
purpose of giving information with regard to the Issuer and its subsidiaries (each a "Subsidiary") taken as
a whole (together, the "Group") and the Capital Securities which, according to the particular nature of the
Issuer and the Capital Securities, is necessary to enable investors to make an informed assessment of the
assets and liabilities, financial position, profit and losses and prospects of the Issuer.
The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Prospectus. To the best of the
knowledge of the Issuer (having taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case), the information
contained in this Prospectus is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the
import of such information.
Certain information contained in "Risk Factors", "Description of the Issuer ­ ENBD's Competition",
"Overview of the UAE and the Emirate of Dubai" and "The United Arab Emirates Banking and Financial
Services System" (as indicated therein) has been extracted from independent, third party sources. The Issuer
confirms that all third party information contained in this Prospectus has been accurately reproduced and
that, as far as it is aware and is able to ascertain from information published by the relevant third party
sources, no facts have been omitted which would render the reproduced information inaccurate or
misleading. The source of third party information contained in this Prospectus is stated where such
information appears in the Prospectus.
The accuracy or completeness of the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus
has not been independently verified by the Joint Lead Managers or any of their respective directors, officers,
affiliates, advisers or agents. Accordingly, no representation, warranty or undertaking, express or implied,
is made and no responsibility or liability is accepted by the Joint Lead Managers or any of their respective
directors, officers, affiliates, advisers or agents (i) as to the accuracy or completeness of the information
contained or incorporated in this Prospectus or any other information provided by the Issuer in connection
with the Capital Securities or their distribution or (ii) for any acts or omissions of the Issuer or any other
person in connection with the Prospectus or the issue and offering of the Capital Securities. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, the Joint Lead Managers do not accept any liability in relation to the information
contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus or any other information provided by the Issuer

No person is or has been authorised by the Issuer or the Joint Lead Managers to give any information or to
make any representation not contained in or not consistent with this Prospectus or any other information
supplied in connection with the issuance of the Capital Securities and, if given or made, such information
or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuer or any of the Joint Lead
Managers.
Neither this Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection with the issuance of the Capital
Securities: (a) is intended to provide the basis of any credit or other evaluation; or (b) should be considered
as a recommendation by the Issuer or any of the Joint Lead Managers that any recipient of this Prospectus
or any other information supplied in connection with the issuance of the Capital Securities should purchase
any Capital Securities. Each investor contemplating purchasing any Capital Securities should make its own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs, and its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness, of the Issuer. Neither this Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection
with the issuance of the Capital Securities constitutes an offer or invitation by or on behalf of the Issuer or
any of the Joint Lead Managers to any person to subscribe for or to purchase any Capital Securities.
Neither the delivery of this Prospectus nor the offering, sale or delivery of any Capital Securities shall in
any circumstances imply that the information contained herein concerning the Issuer is correct at any time

Capital Securities is correct as of any time subsequent to the date indicated in the document containing the
same. The Joint Lead Managers expressly do not undertake to review the financial condition or affairs of
the Issuer during the life of the issuance or to advise any investor in the Capital Securities of any information
coming to their attention.
Investors should review, inter alia, the information contained or incorporated by reference in this
Prospectus when deciding whether or not to purchase any Capital Securities.

The Capital Securities have not been, nor will be, registered under the Securities Act or with any securities
regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered, sold or
delivered within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons except pursuant to an
exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the Capital Securities may be offered or sold solely to persons
who are not U.S. Persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S.
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Capital Securities
in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make the offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction.
The distribution of this Prospectus and the offer or sale of Capital Securities may be restricted by law in
certain jurisdictions. The Issuer and the Joint Lead Managers do not represent that this Prospectus may be
lawfully distributed, or that any Capital Securities may be lawfully offered, in compliance with any
applicable registration or other requirements in any such jurisdiction, or pursuant to an exemption available
thereunder, or assume any responsibility for facilitating any such distribution or offering. In particular, no
action has been taken by the Issuer or the Joint Lead Managers which is intended to permit a public offering
of any Capital Securities or distribution of this Prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose
is required. Accordingly, no Capital Securities may be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and neither
this Prospectus nor any advertisement or other offering material may be distributed or published in any
jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with any applicable laws and
regulations. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus or any Capital Securities may come must inform
themselves about, and observe, any such restrictions on the distribution of this Prospectus and the offering
and sale of any Capital Securities. In particular, there are restrictions on the distribution of this Prospectus
and the offer or sale of any Capital Securities in the United States, the United Kingdom, the European
Economic Area (the "EEA"), the Kingdom of Bahrain, the State of Qatar (including the Qatar International
Financial Centre), the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Dubai International Financial Centre, the UAE
(excluding the Dubai International Financial Centre), Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore (see "Subscription
and Sale").
The Capital Securities may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Each potential investor in
the Capital Securities must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own
circumstances, and is advised to consult its own tax advisers, legal advisers and business advisers as
to tax, legal, business and related matters (as applicable) concerning the purchase of any Capital
Securities.
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:
(a)
has sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Capital Securities,
the merits and risks of investing in the Capital Securities and the information contained or
incorporated by reference in this Prospectus or any applicable supplement;
(b)
has access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation, an investment in the Capital Securities and the impact the Capital
Securities will have on its overall investment portfolio;
(c)
has sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Capital
Securities, including where the currency for payments of principal or interest is different from the
potential investor's currency;
(d)
understands thoroughly the terms of the Capital Securities and is familiar with the behaviour of
any relevant indices and financial markets; and
(e)
is able to evaluate possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect
its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
The Capital Securities are complex financial instruments. Sophisticated institutional investors generally do
not purchase complex financial instruments as stand-alone investments. They purchase complex financial
instruments as a way to reduce risk or enhance yield with an understood, measured, appropriate addition of
risk to their overall portfolios. A potential investor should not invest in the Capital Securities unless it has
the expertise (either alone or with a financial adviser) to evaluate how the Capital Securities will perform
233750-4-18367-v3.0
- ii-
75-40705390




under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Capital Securities and the impact this
investment will have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio.
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: (a) the
Capital Securities are legal investments for it; (b) the Capital Securities can be used as collateral for various
types of borrowing; and (c) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any Capital Securities.
Financial institutions should consult their legal advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the
appropriate treatment of Capital Securities under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Prospectus includes forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical
facts included in this Prospectus including, without limitation, any statements regarding the financial
position of the Issuer, or the business strategy, management plans and objectives for future operations of
the Issuer, may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may", "will", "expect", "intend", "estimate",
"anticipate", "believe", "continue" or similar terminology. Although the Issuer believes that the
expectations reflected in their forward-looking statements are reasonable at this time, there can be no
assurance that these expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the Issuer's actual results, performance or
achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any expressed or implied by forward-
looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be based on numerous assumptions regarding the
Issuer's present, and future, business strategies and the environment in which the Issuer expects to operate
in the future. Important factors that could cause the Issuer's actual results, performance or achievements to
differ materially from any in the forward-looking statements are discussed in this Prospectus (see "Risk
Factors"). Forward-looking statements speak only as at the date of this Prospectus and, subject as required
by applicable law or regulation, the Issuer expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements in this Prospectus to reflect any change in the expectations
of the Issuer or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any forward-looking statements
are based. Given the uncertainties of forward-looking statements, the Issuer cannot assure potential
investors that any projected results or events will be achieved and the Issuer cautions potential investors
not to place undue reliance on these statements.
MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS AND ECPS ONLY
TARGET MARKET
Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in
respect of the Capital Securities has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Capital Securities
is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels
for distribution of the Capital Securities to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate.
Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Capital Securities (a "distributor") should
take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to
MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Capital Securities
(by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate
distribution channels.
PRIIPS REGULATION / PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS
The Capital Securities 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 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 MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC (as amended or superseded),
where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of
MiFID II. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as
amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Capital Securities or otherwise making them
available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Capital
Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the
PRIIPs Regulation.

SINGAPORE SECURITIES AND FUTURES ACT PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION
Solely for the purposes of its obligations pursuant to Section 309B(1)(a) and Section 309B(1)(c) of the
Securities and Futures Act, Chapter 289 of Singapore, as amended or modified from time to time (the
"SFA"), the Issuer has determined, and hereby notifies all relevant persons (as defined in Section 309(A)

and Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018) and Excluded Investment Products (as defined
in MAS Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and MAS Notice FAA-N16: Notice
on Recommendations on Investment Products).
STABILISATION
In connection with the issue of the Capital Securities, HSBC Bank plc (the "Stabilisation Manager") (or
persons acting on behalf of the Stabilisation Manager) may over-allot Capital Securities or effect
transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Capital Securities 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 terms of the offer of the Capital
Securities is made and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of thirty
(30) days after the issue date of the Capital Securities and sixty (60) days after the date of the allotment of
the Capital Securities. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must be conducted by the Stabilisation
Manager (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilisation Manager) in accordance with all applicable laws
and rules.

Summary of Alternative Performance Measures
The list below presents "Alternative Performance Measures" as defined in the ESMA Guidelines ("ESMA Guidelines") on Alternative Performance Measures. These financial
measures presented by ENBD in this Prospectus provide useful supplementary information to both investors and ENBD's management, as they facilitate the evaluation of
company performance and should be read in conjunction with ENBD's financial statements incorporated by reference into this Prospectus. The basis of calculating these
performance measures along with the rationale for including them is explained below but it is to be noted that, since not all companies calculate financial measurements in the
same manner, these are not always comparable to measurements used by other companies:

RISK FACTORS
The Issuer believes that the following factors may affect its ability to fulfil its obligations under the Capital
Securities. All of these factors are contingencies which may or may not occur and the Issuer is not in a
position to express a view on the likelihood of any such contingency occurring.
In addition, factors which are material for the purpose of assessing the market risks associated with the
Capital Securities are also described below.
If any of the risks described below actually materialise, the Issuer's and/or the Group's business, results of
operations, financial condition or prospects could be materially and adversely affected. If that were to
occur, the trading price of the Capital Securities could decline and investors could lose all or part of their
investment.
The Issuer believes that the factors described below represent all the material risks inherent in investing in
the Capital Securities, but the inability of the Issuer to pay interest, principal or other amounts on or in
connection with any Capital Securities may occur for other reasons which may not be considered
significant risks by the Issuer based on information currently available to it or which it may not currently
be able to anticipate. Prospective investors should also read the detailed information set out elsewhere in
this Prospectus and reach their own views prior to making any investment decision.
Words and expressions defined in "Terms and Conditions of the Capital Securities" shall have the same
meanings in this section.
Factors that may affect ENBD's ability to fulfil its obligations under or in connection with the Capital
Securities
Risks relating to the business of ENBD
In the course of its business activities, ENBD is exposed to a variety of risks, the most significant of which
are market risks, liquidity risks, credit risks and operational risks. Difficult macro-economic and financial
market conditions have affected and could continue to materially adversely affect ENBD's business.
Market risks
ENBD is exposed to diverse financial instruments including fixed income products, foreign currencies,
equities and commodities and deals in both physical as well as cash and derivative instruments. Market risk
is the risk that the value of financial instruments in the Group's inventories (with the inclusion of some
other financial assets and liabilities) will produce a loss because of changes in future market conditions.
ENBD, in common with other financial institutions, is susceptible to changes in the macroeconomic
environment and the performance of financial markets generally. Dubai enjoys a relatively diverse
economy, and the three biggest sectors are trading, transport and storage and financial services and
insurance (comprising 24.8 per cent., 11.9 per cent. and 11.8 per cent., respectively, of Dubai's GDP at
constant prices in the first quarter of 2017 (according to preliminary estimates by the Dubai Statistics
Centre)). However any significant impact on international oil prices may have a negative impact on regional
spending and liquidity, and consequently, is likely to affect Dubai's economy indirectly through its impact
on the trade, construction, real estate, tourism and banking sectors in particular, given the openness of the
economy which has no capital or exchange controls.
As at the date of this Prospectus, the global macroeconomic climate remains volatile. Investor confidence
in international debt and equity markets (and, in turn, the performance of those markets) could be adversely
impacted by recent political events. In particular, the United Kingdom's "leave" vote in the June 2016
referendum on its membership of the European Union ("EU") and the election of Donald J. Trump as
President of the United States has resulted in periods of significant under and (as applicable) over
performance in financial markets including, for example, the strong performance of U.S. equities in the
period since the Trump administration came into office. Additionally, the impact of "Brexit" on the general
political and macro-economic conditions in the United Kingdom and across the EU is expected to continue
to be significant, for instance until the precise terms of a United Kingdom exit from the EU become clearer.
Movements in global interest rates have also continued to be unpredictable. The decision of the U.S. Federal
Reserve to raise interest rates in December 2015 for the first time since 2006, and again in December 2016,
1

will likely further exacerbate the reduced liquidity environment and contribute to the prevailing mood of
economic uncertainty. Any slowdown in the global economic environment, together with any reduction in
Governmental spending and the likely impact on the level of economic activity in Dubai and the UAE, may
have an adverse effect on ENBD's credit risk profile.
At a regional level, and notwithstanding the partial increase in global crude oil prices through 2017 to 2018
(according to the OPEC Monthly Oil Market Report ­ January 2019, the average price of the OPEC
Reference Basket was approximately U.S.$52.43 per barrel for the year ended 31 December 2017 and
U.S.$69.78 per barrel for the year ended 31 December 2018), the oil-producing economies of the Gulf Co-
operation Council ("GCC") states, including the UAE, have continued to be affected by budget deficits and
a decrease in fiscal revenues which can lead to lower public spending. Government fiscal deficits have
resulted in weakened net asset positions, larger external financing needs and/or continued lower
government spending. This has resulted in the downgrading, or placing on "creditwatch", of a number of
GCC sovereigns including, particularly, the Sultanate of Oman and the Kingdom of Bahrain.
In the UAE, the prevailing low oil price environment has stimulated a federal government led policy of
rationalisation of fiscal spending which, in turn, has led to an ongoing transformation within the UAE
economy. The federal government has scaled back capital transfers to government-related entities, cut
government investment, raised electricity and water tariffs and removed fuel subsidies. Further, with effect
from 1 January 2018, the federal government has introduced a value-added tax ("VAT") regime in the UAE
at a rate of 5 per cent.
These significant fiscal reforms have become an integral part of a broader federal government strategy
aimed at reducing fiscal expenditure generally and fiscal dependency on hydrocarbon related revenues.
When taken in totality with the ongoing oil price volatility, the diversion of significant fiscal revenues to
the Saudi Arabian led military intervention in the Republic of Yemen since 2015 and domestic job losses
in both the private and public sectors across the UAE (and particularly within Abu Dhabi), the impact on
the UAE economy since early 2015 has been, and is expected to continue to be, significant. This ongoing
transformative process in the domestic economy may have a material adverse effect on ENBD's loan
portfolio and its credit risk profile generally.
Further, and in response to the ongoing volatility through 2015 and 2016, certain regional oil producing
countries that have traditionally "pegged" their domestic currencies to the U.S. dollar have faced pressure
to remove these foreign exchange "pegs". During 2015, each of Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan chose to unwind
the U.S. dollar peg of their domestic currencies. While the likelihood of the GCC states pursuing a similar
course of action is unclear (the Central Bank of the UAE (the "UAE Central Bank") has, as recently as
June 2016, re-iterated its intention to retain the UAE dirham peg against the U.S. dollar), there remains a
risk that any such future de-pegging by the GCC states (in the event that the current challenging market
conditions or the volatility in global crude oil prices seen since mid-2014 persist for a prolonged period)
would pose a systemic risk to the regional banking systems by virtue of the inevitable de-valuation of any
such de-pegged currency against the U.S. dollar and the impact this would have on the open cross-currency
positions held by regional banks, including ENBD.
These volatile market conditions have resulted in reduced liquidity, widening of credit spreads and lack of
price transparency in credit and capital markets. For instance, economic growth in the UAE is estimated to
have slowed to 0.8 per cent. in 2017 from 3.0 per cent. in 2016 and 5.1 per cent. in 2015 and it is estimated
that economic growth in 2018 was 2.4 per cent. (source: Bloomberg and ENBD internal research (real
GDP%)). Non-oil growth in the UAE slowed as external demand softened and lower oil prices led to a
slowdown in government spending. The adverse market conditions have impacted investment markets both
globally and in the UAE, with increased volatility in interest rates and exchange rates. The decision of the
U.S. Federal Reserve to raise interest rates could adversely impact ENBD's net profit margins and
borrowing costs. The business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of ENBD may be
materially adversely affected by a continuation of the general unfavourable economic conditions in the
other countries of the GCC and emerging markets generally as well as by United States, European and
international trading market conditions and/or related factors.
Whilst ENBD believes that it has implemented the appropriate policies, systems and processes to minimise
these risks (please see "Description of the Issuer ­ Risk Management"), investors should note that a
worsening of current financial market conditions could lead to further decreases in investor and consumer
confidence, further market volatility, further economic disruption and, as a result, could have an adverse
