IMPORTANT NOTICES
This document replaces the previous Offering Circular dated 12 December 2018 in its entirety.
The Issuer having made all reasonable enquiries confirms that this Offering Circular together with the
relevant Pricing Supplement (as defined herein) contains all information which is material in the context of
the issue of Notes by the Issuer, that the statements contained in this Offering Circular relating to the Issuer
and the Notes to be issued by it are true and accurate in all material respects and not misleading in any
material respect and that, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Issuer, there are no other facts the
omission of which would, in the context of the issue of the Notes, make any statement in this Offering
Circular misleading in any material respect and that all reasonable enquiries have been made to ascertain
such facts and to verify the accuracy of all such statements and that the opinions and intentions expressed
herein are honestly held. Accordingly, the Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this
Offering Circular.
This Offering Circular must be read in conjunction with all documents deemed to be incorporated by
reference (see under "Documents Incorporated by Reference") and shall be construed accordingly.
No person has been authorised to give any information or to make any representation regarding the Issuer
or the Notes other than as contained or incorporated by reference in this Offering Circular or in any
published information or as approved for such purpose by the Issuer and, if given or made, any such
information or representation should not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuer or the
Dealers named under "Subscription and Sale" or any of them.
Neither the delivery of this Offering Circular or any Pricing Supplement nor the offering, sale or delivery
of any Notes shall, in any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs
of the Issuer since the date hereof or the date upon which this Offering Circular has been most recently
amended or supplemented or in respect of the Issuer since the balance sheet date of the most recent financial
statements relating to it which are deemed to be incorporated into this Offering Circular by reference.
This Offering Circular may be used in connection with the listing of not more than EUR 25,000,000,000 in
aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time (or the equivalent in any other currency at the
date of the agreement for the issue of such Notes).
The distribution of this Offering Circular and any Pricing Supplement and the offering, sale and delivery
of the Notes in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Offering
Circular or any Pricing Supplement comes are required by the Issuer and the Dealers to inform themselves
about and to observe any such restrictions. For a description of certain restrictions on offers, sales and
deliveries of Notes and on the distribution of this Offering Circular or any Pricing Supplement and other
offering material relating to the Notes see "Subscription and Sale". In particular, the Notes have not been
and will not 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 Notes
in bearer form are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. The Notes may not be offered, sold or (in the case
of Notes in bearer form) delivered within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S.
persons (as defined in Regulation S) except in certain transactions exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act.
Neither the Offering Circular nor any Pricing Supplement 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 Arranger,
the Dealers or any of them that any recipient of the Offering Circular or any Pricing Supplement should
subscribe for or purchase any Notes. Each recipient of this Offering Circular or any Pricing Supplement
shall be taken to have made its own investigations and appraisal of the conditions (financial or otherwise)
of the Issuer.
In this Offering Circular, references to "EUR" and "Euro" are to the single currency introduced at the start

"U.S. Dollars" or "USD" are to the lawful currency of the United States of America and references to
"Renminbi", "RMB" or "CNY" are to the lawful currency of the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"
or "China"), excluding the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macau Special Administrative
Region and Taiwan.

- i -

MiFID II Product Governance/Target Market
The Pricing Supplement in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "MiFID II investment firms'
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;
however, a Distributor subject to MiFID II 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.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID II
product governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID II Product Governance
Rules"), any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise
neither the Issuer, the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer
for the purpose of the MiFID II Product Governance Rules.
Product Classification Pursuant to Section 309B of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289 of
Singapore)
The Pricing Supplement in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "Singapore Securities and
Futures Act Product Classification" which will state the product classification of the Notes pursuant to
section 309B(1) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289 of Singapore) (as modified or amended
from time to time, the "SFA"). Any such legend included on the relevant Pricing Supplement will constitute
notice to "relevant persons" for the purposes of section 309B(1)(c) of the SFA.
Benchmarks Regulation
Interest and/or other 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
(the "Benchmarks Regulation"). If any such reference rate does constitute such a benchmark, the
applicable Pricing Supplement will indicate whether or not the benchmark is provided by an administrator
included in the register of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by ESMA pursuant
to Article 36 (Register of administrators and benchmarks) of the Benchmarks Regulation. Transitional
provisions in the Benchmarks 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
applicable Pricing Supplement. The registration status of any administrator under the Benchmarks
Regulation is a matter of public record and, save where required by applicable law, the Issuer does not
intend to update the applicable Pricing Supplement to reflect any change in the registration status of the
administrator. For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer is not subject to the Benchmarks Regulation.
Stabilisation
In connection with the issue of any Tranche (as defined in the "Summary of the Programme") of Notes, the
Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the Stabilising Manager(s) (or person(s) acting on behalf of any
Stabilising Manager(s)) in the applicable Pricing Supplement 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 and will act as the central point responsible for handling any request from a competent authority
and public disclosures of information, in each case as required by Article 6(5) of Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of 8 March 2016 with regard to regulatory technical standards for the
conditions applicable to buy-back programmes and stabilisation measures. 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 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 days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche of
Notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes. Any stabilisation action
or over-allotment must be conducted by the relevant Stabilising Manager(s) (or person(s) acting on behalf
of any Stabilising Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.

RISK FACTORS
This section does not describe all the risks of an investment in the Notes. Prospective purchasers should
also read the detailed information set out elsewhere in this Offering Circular and consult their own
professional advisers about the risks associated with investment in a particular series of Notes and the
suitability of investing in those Notes in the light of their particular circumstances.
Risks related to Structured Notes
The Notes may be issued in the form of structured notes. Structured notes are Notes in relation to which
principal and/or interest is linked to exchange rates, commodity prices, interest rates, credit events or other
assets, indices, formulae or events or which may be redeemed early at the option of the Issuer.
An investment in structured notes may entail significant risks not associated with similar investments in
conventional debt securities, including the risks that the resulting interest rate will be less than that payable
on a conventional debt security at the same time and/or that an investor could lose all or a substantial portion
of the principal amount of its investment.
Historical values should not be taken as an indication of future values.
General risks related to the Notes
Modification, waivers and substitution
The conditions of the Notes contain provisions for calling meetings of Holders to consider matters affecting
their interests generally. These provisions permit defined majorities to bind all Holders including Holders
who did not attend and vote at the relevant meeting and Holders who voted in a manner contrary to the
majority.
No consent or approval of Holders of Notes is required for a variation of the "Terms and Conditions of the
Notes" applicable to such Notes and/or the Fiscal Agency Agreement in order to effect a Benchmark
Amendment (as defined in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes").
There is no active trading market for the Notes
Notes issued under the Programme will be new securities which may not be widely distributed and for
which there is currently no active trading market (unless in the case of any particular Tranche, such Tranche
is to be consolidated with and form a single series with a Tranche of Notes which is already issued). If the
Notes are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount to their initial offering price,
depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, general economic conditions and
the financial condition of the Issuer. Accordingly, there is no assurance as to the development or liquidity
of any trading market for any particular Tranche of Notes. Illiquidity may have a severely adverse effect
on the market value of Notes. Investors may not be able to sell their Notes easily or at prices that will
provide them with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market.
Because the Global Notes are held by or on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, investors will have
to rely on their procedures for transfer, payment and communication with the Issuer
Notes issued under the Programme may be represented by one or more Global Notes. Such Global Notes
will be deposited with a common depositary or a common safekeeper for Euroclear and/or Clearstream.
Except in the circumstances described in the relevant Global Note, investors will not be entitled to receive
definitive Notes. Euroclear and/or Clearstream will maintain records of the beneficial interests in the Global
Notes. While the Notes are represented by one or more Global Notes, investors will be able to trade their
beneficial interests only through Euroclear and/or Clearstream.
While the Notes are represented by one or more Global Notes, the Issuer will discharge its payment
obligations under the Notes by making payments to or to the order of the common depository or common
safekeeper (as applicable) for Euroclear and Clearstream or a nominee thereof for distribution to their
account holders. A holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note must rely on the procedures of Euroclear
and/or Clearstream to receive payments under the relevant Notes. The Issuer has no responsibility or
liability for the records relating to, or payments made in respect of, beneficial interests in the Global Notes.
