The Bonds will be issued in the form of dematerialised bonds registered in, and held through, Verdipapirsentralen
ASA (the "VPS"). VPS is the Norwegian paperless centralised securities registry. It is a computerised book-entry
system in which the ownership of, and all transactions relating to, registered securities must be recorded. All
transactions relating to securities registered with VPS are made through computerised book entries. VPS confirms
each entry by sending a transcript to the registered holder irrespective of any beneficial ownership. To effect such
entries, the individual holder of securities must establish a securities account with an account agent. Norwegian
banks, the Bank of Norway, authorised securities brokers in Norway and credit institutions and authorised
securities brokers with its head office in another EEA state and which are subject to supervision in their home state
are allowed to act as account agents. It is also possible to register a holding of securities through a nominee
approved by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway. The entry of a transaction in VPS is prima facie
evidence in determining the legal rights of parties as against the issuing entity or a third party claiming an interest
in the given security. VPS is liable for any economic loss resulting from an error in connection with its registration
activities unless the error is caused by matters outside the control of the VPS and which the VPS could not
reasonably be expected to avoid or overcome. The VPS's liability is as a main rule limited to NOK 500,000,000 for
each error. The VPS is only liable for indirect economic loss to the extent such indirect economic loss is a result of
wilful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the VPS. In cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence on
the part of VPS, the above-mentioned liability cap does not apply. The courts may reduce or set aside VPS's
liability if the person making the claim has wilfully or negligently contributed to the loss.
The Bonds may be transferred in book-entry form only. The Bonds will be issued in a denomination of
NOK 500,000.
Clearing through Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, Luxembourg ("CBL") and Euroclear SA/NV
("Euroclear"), each an international central securities depositary (together the "ICSDs"), will also be possible upon
issue of the Bonds.
In this Simplified Prospectus references to "NOK" or "Norwegian Kroner" or "Kroner" or "Kr" are to the currency
of Norway and references to "euro" or "EUR" or "" are to the single unified currency of the members of the
European Union that have adopted the euro in accordance with the Treaty on European Union, as amended.

THIS PROSPECTUS
This prospectus (hereinafter, the "Prospectus") has been drawn up in order to permit the admission of the Bonds
to listing on the official list and to trading on the regulated market "Bourse de Luxembourg" of the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange (the "Luxembourg Stock Exchange"). The Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market is a
regulated market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive 2004/39/EC (the "Regulated
Market").
This Prospectus fulfils the requirements for a simplified prospectus pursuant to Chapter 2 of Part III of the Loi
relative aux prospectus pour valeurs mobilières (the "Luxembourg Prospectus Act") and application has been
made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the approval of this Prospectus. It does not constitute a prospectus
for the purposes of Directive 2003/71/EC (the "Prospectus Directive"), as amended by Directive 2010/73/EU of
the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010, nor does it constitute a prospectus pursuant to
Part II of the Luxembourg Prospectus Act transforming the Prospectus Directive into law in Luxemburg.
Accordingly, this Prospectus does not purport to meet the format and the disclosure requirements of the
Prospectus Directive and Commission Regulation (EC) No 809/2004 implementing the Prospectus Directive, and it
has not been, and will not be, submitted for approval to any competent authority within the meaning of the
Prospectus Directive. The Bonds will therefore not qualify for the benefit of the single European passport pursuant
to the Prospectus Directive.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
KfW with its registered office at Palmengartenstraße 5-9, 60325 Frankfurt am Main, Federal Republic of Germany,
accepts responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus and has taken all reasonable care to ensure that the facts
stated therein are true and accurate and that no material facts have been omitted.

NOTICE
No person has been authorised to give any information or to make any representations, other than those
contained in this Prospectus, in connection with the issue and sale of the Bonds, and, if given or made, such
information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuer or the Manager
(the "Manager") named on the cover page of this Prospectus.
Neither the delivery of this Prospectus nor any offering, sale or delivery of any Bonds shall, under any
circumstances, create any implication (i) that the information in this Prospectus is correct as of any time
subsequent to the date hereof or, as the case may be, subsequent to the date on which this Prospectus has been
most recently amended or supplemented, or (ii) that there has been no adverse change in the financial situation of
the Issuer which is material in the context of the issue and offering of the Bonds since the date of this Prospectus
or, as the case may be, the date on which this Prospectus has been most recently amended or supplemented or
(iii) that any other information supplied in connection with the issue of the Bonds is correct at any time subsequent
to the date on which it is supplied or, if different, the date indicated in the document containing the same.
To the extent permitted by the laws of any relevant jurisdiction the Manager accepts no responsibility for the
accuracy and completeness of the information contained in this Prospectus. This Prospectus does not constitute
an offer or an invitation by the Issuer or by the Manager to subscribe for or purchase any of the Bonds. Neither this
Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection with the Bonds should be considered as a
recommendation by the Issuer or the Manager to a recipient hereof and thereof that such recipient should
purchase any Bonds. This Prospectus may not be used for or in connection with any offer or invitation in any
jurisdiction or in any circumstances in which such offer or invitation is unlawful or unauthorised.
No action has been taken by the Issuer or the Manager other than as set out in this Prospectus that would permit a
public offering of the Bonds, or possession or distribution of this Prospectus or any other offering material in any
country or jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, no Bonds may be offered or sold,
directly or indirectly, and neither this Prospectus (nor any part hereof) nor any offering circular, prospectus, form of
application, advertisement or other offering materials may be issued, distributed or published in any country or
jurisdiction except in compliance with applicable laws, orders, rules and regulations, and the Manager has
represented that all offers and sales by it have been made on such terms.
This Prospectus does not constitute, and may not be used for the purposes of, an offer or solicitation by anyone in
any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorised or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make
such offer or solicitation.
The distribution of this Prospectus (or of any part thereof) and the offer, sale and delivery of the Bonds in certain
jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus (or any part thereof) comes
are required by the Issuer and the Manager to inform themselves about and to observe any such restrictions. In
- 6 -

particular, the Bonds represent obligations of the Issuer only, and do not represent obligations of the Manager or
any of its respective affiliates or any affiliate of the Issuer or any other third person or entity.
For a further description of certain restrictions on offerings and sales of the Bonds and distribution of this
Prospectus (or of any part thereof) see "SELLING RESTRICTIONS".

In connection with the issue and distribution of the Bonds, the Manager, or any person acting for it, may
over-allot Bonds or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Bonds at a level
higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the Manager or any
person acting for it will undertake such action. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on
which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the Bonds is made and, if begun, may be
ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 calendar days after the issue date of the
Bonds and 60 calendar days after the date of the allotment of the Bonds. In doing so, the Manager or any
person acting for it shall act as principal and not as agent of the Issuer. Any stabilisation action or over-
allotment must be conducted by the Manager or any person acting for it in accordance with all applicable
laws and rules.

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Each person contemplating making an investment in the Bonds (each a "Potential Investor") must make its own
investigation and analysis of the creditworthiness of the Issuer and its own determination of the suitability of any
such investment, with particular reference to its own investment objectives and experience, and any other factors
which may be relevant to it in connection with such investment, either alone or with the help of a financial adviser.
In particular, each Potential Investor should:
(i)
have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Bonds, the merits
and risks of investing in the Bonds and the information contained in this Prospectus;
(ii)
have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation and the investment(s) it is considering, an investment in the Bonds and
the impact the Bonds will have on its overall investment portfolio;
(iii)
have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the relevant
Bonds, including where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the currency
in which the Potential Investor undertakes its principal financial activities;
(iv)
understand thoroughly the terms and conditions of the Bonds and be familiar with the behaviour of
financial markets and of any financial variable which might have an impact on the return on the
Bonds (e.g. interest rates, currencies, or any indices);
(v)
be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for
economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the
applicable risks; and
(vi)
be aware that there is no assurance that a liquid secondary market for the Bonds develops or, if it so
develops, that it will continue to exist until maturity of the Bonds and that it might not be able to sell
the Bonds at any time at fair market prices if no liquid secondary market for the Bonds develops or if
it ceases to exist prior to maturity of the Bonds.
Prospective purchasers should also consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of the purchase,
ownership and disposition of Bonds. Under certain circumstances, the Issuer or any other non-United States
financial institution through which payments under the Bonds are made may be required to withhold U.S. tax in
respect of Bonds issued after January 1, 2013 pursuant to the foreign account provisions of the U.S. Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act of 2010 (FATCA) for more information, see "TAXATION".
