business of the Issuer. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, assumptions
and other factors that may cause the actual results, including the financial position and profitability of the Issuer, to be
materially different from or worse than those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The Issuer
does not assume any obligation to update such forward-looking statements and to adapt them to future events or
developments.
Neither the Arranger nor any Dealer nor any other person mentioned in this Prospectus, excluding the Issuer, is
responsible for the information contained in this Prospectus or any supplement thereof, or any Final Terms or any
other document incorporated herein by reference, and accordingly, and to the extent permitted by the laws of any
relevant jurisdiction, none of these persons accepts any responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the
information contained in any of these documents.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the

exceptions, Notes may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States of America or to U.S. persons.

or that any other information supplied in connection with the Programme is accurate at any time subsequent to the date
on which it is supplied or, if different, the date indicated in the document containing the same.

This 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 which has implemented Directive 2003/71/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 4 November 2003, as amended (the "Prospectus Directive") (each, a

that Relevant 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 Relevant Member State of Notes which are the subject of an offering
contemplated in this 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

Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in that Relevant Member State, in each case, in relation to such

in that Relevant Member State, 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 Relevant
Member State and such offer is made in the period beginning and ending on the dates specified for such purpose in
such prospectus or final terms, as applicable. Except to the extent sub-paragraph (ii) above may apply, neither the

This Prospectus may be used for subsequent offers by Dealers and/or further financial intermediaries only insofar as
and for the period so specified in the Final Terms for the relevant tranche of Notes (each a "Tranche").

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, THERE IS NO
ASSURANCE THAT THE STABILISING MANAGER(S) (OR PERSONS ACTING ON BEHALF OF A
STABILISING MANAGER) WILL UNDERTAKE STABILISATION ACTION. 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 BE ENDED 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

INVESTING IN THE NOTES UNDER THE LAWS OF GERMANY, THE UNITED STATES AND ITS
CONSTITUENT JURISDICTIONS, AND ANY OTHER JURISDICTIONS WHERE THE PURCHASER
MAY BE SUBJECT TO TAXATION.

2000/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Directive 93/22/EEC, that if, while
Notes of an Issuer are outstanding and listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and are admitted to
trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, there shall occur any adverse change in the
business or financial position of the Issuer or any change in the information set out under "Terms and Conditions of the
Notes", that is material in the context of issuance under the Programme which is not reflected in this Prospectus (or

Trends
SAP customer companies of all sizes continually evaluate, expanding into new
regions, approaches for engaging new customer segments in emerging markets
and elsewhere, entering into adjacent vertical industries, and increasing
networking at the enterprise level.
Three major technology trends -- in-memory computing, enterprise mobility, and
the cloud -- have triggered change in the world of IT and SAP is playing an
important role in accelerating that change. Those trends are changing not only the
way enterprises adopt and deploy business technology, but also fundamentally
the way that work is done. The pervasiveness of the cloud and mobile devices,
together with the power of in-memory computing, allow people to connect and
collaborate wherever and whenever they choose. We believe that the convergence
of these technologies has the potential to create enormous business value and
power new business models both in developed countries and emerging markets.
Connectivity of people and devices through mobile technology has increased at
an exponential rate. There are more than five billion mobile subscribers in the
world today, and in the future, we expect that hundreds of billions of objects --
automobiles, household appliances, machines -- will be connected in real time.
This machine-to-machine connectivity or Internet of Things will drive enormous
business value and we are already seeing examples of this in smart utility grids
and smart buildings.
The explosion of Big Data in an increasingly connected world where people and
devices exchange information continues at an unprecedented rate. Enterprise data
volume is increasing by over 50% to 60% every year while IT budgets are
growing at only 5%. Our customer businesses of all sizes and in all industries
must increase their focus on analyzing volumes of data for new insights, greater
customer intimacy, and competitive advantage. In this environment, in-memory
computing delivers a dramatic change in computing, analytics, and data storage.
It leverages advances in multicore processing and more affordable servers,
storing information in the main memory rather than in relational databases, to
greatly accelerate processing times.
To increase efficiency and lower costs of ownership, enterprises are rapidly
embracing cloud computing and virtualization, as well as changes in data storage
through in-memory computing, to rethink the way they invest in information
technology. These advances are simplifying and removing layers from the
traditional technology stack. SAP is helping drive change as customers reduce the
amount they spend on hardware and services in favor of investment in software-
based innovation. Increasingly, customers are looking to embrace social net-
working and collaboration technologies as a part of their cloud road map. We are
developing a new category of cloud applications with a people-centric approach.
Enterprise mobility continues to transform the way work is done and businesses
are run. Smartphones already outsell PCs. By 2013, mobile devices are expected
to be the primary method of Internet access worldwide. A mobile workforce is

seen as becoming more productive, since employees can now do their job any
time, from any location, rather than being tethered to their office desktop.

Recent Events
In May 2012, we announced that SAP and Ariba have entered into an agreement
that SAP acquire Ariba, the leading cloud-based business commerce network. We
expect to close the acquisition at the end of the third or in the fourth quarter after
all regulatory evaluations and approvals.
In the middle of April 2012, the SAP Supervisory Board appointed Lars Dalgaard
to the SAP Executive Board. In addition, SAP has created a Global Managing
Board in May 2012 to lead the company. This body was established in addition to
the SAP Executive Board, which retains ultimate responsibility for overseeing
and deciding on the activities of the company. The Global Managing Board
allows SAP to appoint a broader range of global leaders to help steer the
organization. All Executive Board members as well as Robert Enslin, President
of SAP`s Sales Organization, will join the Global Managing Board.
