professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (i i) not a qualified investor as defined in the
Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key information document (KID) required by Regulation (EU) No
1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRI Ps Regulation") for offering or sel ing the Notes or otherwise making them

(i i) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law by

forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRI Ps Regulation") for offering or sel ing the Notes or
otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or sel ing
the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK
PRI Ps Regulation.

authorisation or registration pursuant to Article 2(2) of the Benchmarks Regulation, and in relation to IBA, the
transitional provisions in Article 51 of the Benchmarks Regulation apply, such that IBA is not currently required to
obtain authorisation or registration (or, if located outside the European Union, recognition, endorsement or
equivalence). In case Notes are issued which make reference to another benchmark or there was any change with
regard to any of the above benchmarks, the applicable Final Terms wil specify the name of the specific

distribution channels.
UK MiFIR PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET ­ The Final Terms in respect of any Notes wil
include a legend entitled "UK MiFIR Product Governance" which wil outline the target market assessment in

assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance
Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules") is 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.
4


A determination wil 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") or UK
MiFIR 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 wil be a

Rules.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Base Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements. A forward-looking statement is a statement
that does not relate to historical facts and events. They are based on analyses or forecasts of future results and
estimates of amounts not yet determinable or foreseeable. These forward-looking statements are identified by the
use of terms and phrases such as "anticipate", "believe", "could", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "may", "plan",
"predict", "project", "wil " and similar terms and phrases, including references and assumptions. This applies, in
particular, to statements in this Base Prospectus containing information on future earning capacity, plans and
expectations regarding each Issuer's business and management, its growth and profitability, and general
economic and regulatory conditions and other factors that affect it.
Forward-looking statements in this Base Prospectus are based on current estimates and assumptions that the
Issuer makes to the best of its present knowledge. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks,
uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results, including each Issuer's financial condition and
results of operations, to dif er material y from and be worse than results that have expressly or implicitly been
assumed or described in these forward-looking statements. Each Issuer's business is also subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties that could cause a forward-looking statement, estimate or prediction in this Base
Prospectus to become inaccurate. Accordingly, investors are strongly advised to read the fol owing sections of this
Base Prospectus: "2 Risk Factors", "7 General Description of BAWAG as Issuer", "8 General Description of
BAWAG P.S.K. as Issuer" and "9 Business Overview of BAWAG Group". These sections include more detailed
descriptions of factors that might have an impact on each Issuer's business and the markets in which it operates.
In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, future events described in this Base Prospectus may not
occur. In addition, neither the Issuers nor the Dealers assume any obligation, except as required by law, to update
any forward-looking statement or to conform these forward-looking statements to actual events or developments.
INFORMATION FROM THIRD PARTIES
Unless otherwise indicated, statements in this Base Prospectus regarding the market environment, market
developments, growth rates, market trends and the competitive situation in the markets and segments in which the
Issuers operate are based on data, statistical information, sector reports and third-party studies, as wel as the
Issuers' own estimates. Management estimates ­ unless otherwise indicated ­ are based on internal market
observations and/or studies by third parties.
To the extent that information has been sourced from third parties, this information has been accurately
reproduced by the Issuers in this Base Prospectus and, as far as the Issuers are aware and are able to ascertain
from information published by these third parties, no facts have been omitted which would render the reproduced
information inaccurate or misleading. However, market studies and analyses are frequently based on information
and assumptions that may not be accurate or technical y correct, and their methodology is, by nature, forward-
looking and speculative. The source of such third-party information is cited whenever such information is used in
this Base Prospectus. Such third-party sources include:

other data and the information it has derived from such data assists investors in gaining a bet er understanding of
the industry in which BAWAG Group operates and BAWAG Group's position therein. Each Issuer's own estimates

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMME
1.1
General
Under this EUR 10,000,000,000 Programme, each Issuer may from time to time issue Notes, including Covered
Bonds (Fundierte Bankschuldverschreibungen) denominated in any Specified Currency agreed between the
Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s). The Issuers may increase the amount of the Programme in accordance with the
terms of the Dealer Agreement (as defined herein) from time to time. The maximum aggregate principal amount of
al Notes at any time outstanding under the Programme wil not exceed EUR 10,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in
other currencies).
Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers and any additional dealer appointed
under the Programme from time to time, which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis.
Notes may be distributed by way of offer to the public or private placements and, in each case, on a syndicated or
non-syndicated basis. The method of distribution of each Tranche wil be stated in the relevant Final Terms. Notes
may be offered to non-qualified and/or qualified investors.
Notes wil be issued in Tranches, each Tranche consisting of Notes, which are identical in al respects. One or
more Tranches, which are expressed to be consolidated and forming a single series and identical in al respects,
but having different issue dates, interest commencement dates, issue prices and dates for first interest payments
may form a series of Notes (the "Series"). Further Notes may be issued as part of an existing Series. The specific
terms of each Tranche wil be set forth in the applicable Final Terms. The redemption amount under the Notes wil
be at least 100% of their principal amount. Notes wil be issued with a maturity of twelve months or more.
Notes wil 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 denomination of the Notes wil be,
if in Euro, 1,000, and, if in any currency other than Euro, an amount in such other currency at least to 1,000 at
the time of the issue of Notes. Subject to any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, and requirements of
relevant central banks, Notes may be issued in Euro or any other currency.
Notes may be issued under the Programme as Unsubordinated Notes, Senior Non-Preferred Notes or
Subordinated Notes by both Issuers. Furthermore, Notes may be issued as Covered Bonds (Fundierte
Bankschuldverschreibungen) by BAWAG P.S.K. (as described below under "14 General Information").
Notes issued pursuant to the Programme may be rated or unrated. A security rating is not a recommendation to
buy, sel or hold Notes issued under the Programme and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at
any time by the assigning rating agency. A suspension, reduction or withdrawal of the rating assigned to the Notes
issued under the Programme may adversely affect the market price of the Notes issued under the Programme.
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
Final Terms. The issue price for Notes to be issued wil be determined at the time of pricing on the basis of a yield
which wil be determined on the basis of the orders of the investors which are received by the Dealers during the
offer period. Orders wil specify a minimum yield and may only be confirmed at or above such yield. The resulting
yield wil be used to determine an issue price, al to correspond to the yield.
The yield for Notes with fixed interest rates or fixed resettable interest rates wil be calculated by the use of the
ICMA method, which determines the effective interest rate of notes taking into account accrued interest on a daily
basis.
Application wil be made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the Programme to be listed on the Official List of
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to be admitted to trading on the Regulated Market or on the professional
segment of the Regulated Market of the Luxembourg and/or on the Official Market ("Amtlicher Handel") of the
Vienna Stock Exchange. The Notes issued under this Programme may be listed on the Official List of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's and the Vienna Stock
Exchange's regulated markets. The Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the Vienna Stock Exchange do not
automatical y list Notes and may under certain circumstances refuse listing and admission to trading of the Notes.
The Programme 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 without being listed on any stock exchange.
