Daimler International Finance B.V. is a Netherlands-based subsidiary of Daimler AG, primarily engaged in financing and treasury activities for Daimler's global operations.

This financial article details a specific bond issuance by Daimler International Finance B.V., identified by ISIN DE000A2RYD83, which has recently reached its full maturity. Daimler International Finance B.V. serves as a dedicated financing vehicle for Daimler AG, now known as Mercedes-Benz Group AG, a global leader in the automotive industry headquartered in Germany. As a key instrument for the group's capital market activities, this entity facilitates the raising of funds in international debt markets to support the extensive operations, strategic investments, and research and development initiatives of the parent company across its luxury car, vans, and mobility services segments worldwide. The bond, denominated in Euro (EUR), was issued from Germany and carried a fixed annual interest rate of 0.625%. With a substantial total issue size of 1,500,000,000 EUR, it represented a significant component of the issuer's funding strategy, offering a minimum lot size for investment set at 1,000 EUR. Its last reported market price before its scheduled redemption was 100% of its nominal value, indicative of its standing in the market. This debt instrument, which featured an annual payment frequency, reached its maturity date on February 27, 2023, and has since been fully redeemed and repaid to bondholders, thereby concluding its life cycle in the fixed income market.

Neither the delivery of this Prospectus nor the offering, sale, issue or delivery of any Notes shall, in any

should review, inter alia, the most recently published financial statements of the relevant Issuer and the
Guarantor (if applicable) when deciding whether or not to subscribe for or purchase any Notes.
Each Issuer and the Guarantor have undertaken with the Dealers to supplement this Prospectus in accordance
with Article 13 of the Prospectus Act or publish a new Prospectus in the event that any significant new factor,
material mistake or inaccuracy relating to the information included in this Prospectus which is capable of
affecting the assessment of the Notes to be issued under the Programme arises or is noted between the time
when this Prospectus is approved and the final closing of any Tranche of Notes offered to the public or, as
the case may be, trading of any Tranche of Notes on a regulated market begins, whichever occurs later. Such
supplement or new Prospectus will be obtainable free of charge during normal business hours from the
Issuing Agent (Citibank, N.A., London Branch, Citigroup Centre, Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London
E14 5LB, United Kingdom), the Paying Agent in Germany (Citibank Europe plc, Germany Branch,

Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch, 60, avenue J.F. Kennedy, L-2085 Luxembourg), DAG (Daimler
AG, Mercedesstraße 137, 70327 Stuttgart, Germany), MBAP (Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific Pty Ltd, 44
Lexia Place, Mulgrave, Victoria 3170, Australia), DIF (Daimler International Finance B.V., Ravenswade 4,

Corporation, Corporation Trust Center, 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801, USA) and MBFJ
(Mercedes-Benz Finance Co., Ltd., 12-4, Higashi Shinagawa 4-chome, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo 140-0002,
Japan). Such supplement or new Prospectus will also be viewable on, and obtainable free of charge from, the
website of Daimler AG (www.daimler.com/investors/refinancing/bonds) and the website of the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu).
The Notes may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and neither this document nor any other offering
material may be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in
compliance with any applicable laws or regulations.
If the relevant Final Terms include a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to Retail Investors in the European
Economic Area", the Notes 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 a member state of 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; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 20 January 2016 on insurance distribution, as amended, where that
customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or
(iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive. If the relevant Final Terms include the
above-mentioned legend, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014, as
amended (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to
retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making
them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
If the relevant Final Terms in respect of any Notes specify "Prohibition of Sales to Retail Investors in the
European Economic Area" as "Not Applicable", except to the extent sub-paragraph (ii) below may apply, in

3

relation to each Member State of the EEA which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a
"Relevant Member State") any offer of Notes will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus
Directive, as implemented in 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/placement 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 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 Relevant
Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member State and notified to the
competent authority in that Relevant 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
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 relevant Final Terms, as applicable and the Issuer has consented in
writing to the use of such prospectus for the purpose of such offer.
Except to the extent sub-paragraph (ii) above may apply, neither the Issuers nor the Guarantor nor any
Dealer have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of Notes in circumstances in which an
obligation arises for the Issuers or the Guarantor or any Dealer to publish or supplement a prospectus for
such offer.
Each Dealer and/or further financial intermediary subsequently reselling or finally placing Notes to be issued
under the Programme may be entitled to use this Prospectus as set out in the section entitled "Consent to the
Use of this Prospectus".
The relevant Final Terms may include a legend entitled "MiFID II 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 Product
Governance Rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product Governance Rules"), any
Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise neither the
relevant Issuer, the Guarantor, the Arranger, any of the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a
manufacturer for the purpose of the MiFID Product Governance Rules.
Tranches of Notes may be rated or unrated. Where a Tranche of Notes is rated, such credit rating and the
respective rating agency will be specified in the relevant Final Terms. Any credit ratings assigned to the
Notes are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell the Notes inasmuch as such ratings do not comment
as to market price or suitability for a particular investor. There is no assurance that these ratings will remain
in effect for any given period of time or that the ratings will not be revised or withdrawn entirely in the future
by the respective rating organizations if in their judgment circumstances so warrant.
Any credit ratings assigned to the Notes may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to structure
and other factors on the value of the Notes. In addition, real or anticipated changes in any credit ratings
assigned to the Notes will generally affect the market value of the Notes.
Any credit ratings in respect of the Notes or an Issuer are, in respect of an offer or invitation for the issue,
sale or purchase of Notes in Australia (including an offer or invitation which is received by a person in
Australia), for disclosure or distribution only to a person who is not a "retail client" within the meaning of
section 761G of the Corporations Act but is a sophisticated investor, professional investor or other investor
in respect of whom disclosure is not required under Parts 6D.2 or 7.9 of the Corporations Act and, in all

4

cases, who is otherwise permitted to receive credit ratings in accordance with applicable law in any
jurisdiction in which the person may be located. Anyone who is not such a person is not entitled to receive
this Prospectus and anyone who receives this Prospectus must not distribute it to any person who is not
entitled to receive it.
Interest amounts payable on Notes with a fluctuating rate of interest ("Floating Rate Notes") will be
calculated by reference to a specific benchmark which will be provided by an administrator.
As at the date of this Prospectus, the specific benchmark applicable to an issue of Floating Rate Notes has
not yet been determined. However, amounts payable under Floating Rate Notes may be calculated by
reference to (i) BBSW (Bank Bill Swap Rate) which is provided by ASX Limited ("ASX"), (ii) CDOR
(Canadian Dollar Offered Rate) which is provided by Refinitiv Benchmark Services (UK) Limited ("RBSL"),
(iii) EURIBOR (Euro Interbank Offered Rate) which is provided by the European Money Markets Institute
("EMMI"), (iv) LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) which is provided by the ICE Benchmark
Administration Limited ("IBA"), (v) SIBOR (Singapore Interbank Offered Rate) which is provided by ABS
Benchmarks Administration Co Pte Ltd ("ABS Co."), (vi) STIBOR (Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate)
which is provided by the Swedish Bankers' Association ("SBA"), or (vii) another benchmark. As at the date
of this Prospectus, only IBA and RBSL appear on the register (the "ESMA Register") of administrators and
benchmarks established and maintained by the European Securities and Markets Authority (the "ESMA")
pursuant to Article 36 of the Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 of the European Parliament and of the Council
of June 8, 2016 on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts or to measure
the performance of investment funds and amending Directives 2008/48/EC and 2014/17/EU and Regulation
(EU) No 596/2014 (the "Benchmarks Regulation"). As at the date of this Prospectus, neither ASX, EMMI,
ABS Co. nor SBA appear in the ESMA Register. As far as the Issuers are aware, the transitional provisions
in Article 51 of the Benchmarks Regulation apply, so that neither ASX, EMMI, ABS Co. nor SBA are
currently required to obtain authorisation or registration (or, if located outside the European Union,
recognition, endorsement or equivalence).
The Final Terms will specify the name of the specific benchmark and the relevant administrator. In such case
the Final Terms will further specify if the relevant administrator is included in the ESMA Register or
whether the transitional provisions in Article 51 of the Benchmarks Regulation apply.
IN CONNECTION WITH THE ISSUE OF ANY TRANCHE OF NOTES, THE DEALER OR
DEALERS (IF ANY) NAMED AS THE STABILISATION MANAGER(S) IN THE APPLICABLE
FINAL TERMS (OR PERSONS ACTING ON BEHALF OF ANY STABILISATION MANAGER(S))
MAY OVER-ALLOT NOTES OR EFFECT TRANSACTIONS (IN EACH CASE OUTSIDE
AUSTRALIA AND NOT ON A FINANCIAL MARKET OPERATED IN AUSTRALIA) 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 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 STABILISATION
MANAGER(S) (OR PERSONS ACTING ON BEHALF OF ANY STABILISATION MANAGER(S))
IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND RULES.
This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that
do not relate to historical facts and events. They are based on the 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", "will" and similar terms and phrases, including references and assumptions. This
applies, in particular, to statements in this Prospectus containing information on future earnings capacity,

5

plans and expectations regarding each of the relevant 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 Prospectus are based on current estimates and assumptions that the
relevant 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 of the relevant Issuer's
financial condition and results of operations, to differ materially from and be worse than results that have
expressly or implicitly been assumed or described in these forward-looking statements. Each of the relevant
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 Prospectus to become inaccurate. Accordingly, potential investors
are strongly advised to read the following sections of this Prospectus: "Summary", "Risk Factors",
"Description of DAG", "Description of MBAP", "Description of DIF", "Description of DCFI", "Description
of DFNA" and "Description of MBFJ". These sections include more detailed descriptions of factors that
might have an impact on each of the relevant Issuer's business and the markets in which it operates.
In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, future events described in this Prospectus may not
occur. In addition, none of the Issuers assumes 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.
In this Prospectus, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, the terms "AUD", "AU $" or
"Australian dollars" denote the currency of the Commonwealth of Australia, "CAD", "CAD $" or
"Canadian dollars" the currency of Canada, "US $", "$" or "U.S. dollars" the currency of the United States
of America and "¥", "Yen" or "Japanese yen" the currency of Japan. References to "", "EUR" or "Euro"

Union pursuant to the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended.
