Each Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Base Prospectus and the Final
Terms for each Tranche of Notes issued under the Programme. To the best of the knowledge of the
Issuers (each having taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case) the information
contained in this Base Prospectus is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely to
affect the import of such information.
This Base Prospectus is to be read in conjunction with all documents which are deemed to be
incorporated herein by reference (see "Documents Incorporated by Reference" below). This Base
Prospectus shall be read and construed on the basis that such documents are incorporated and form
part of this Base Prospectus.
Under this Programme, BST and SGPS may from time to time issue Notes denominated in any currency
agreed between the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer (as defined herein).
Other than in relation to the documents which are deemed to be incorporated by reference (see
"Documents Incorporated by Reference"), the information on the websites to which this Base
Prospectus refers does not form part of this Base Prospectus and has not been scrutinised or
approved by the CSSF.
The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Notes from time to time outstanding under the
Programme will not exceed EUR 10,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies calculated as
described herein), subject to increase as described herein.
The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified under "General
Description of the Programme" and any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme from time
to time by the Issuers (each a "Dealer" and together the "Dealers"), which appointment may be for a
specific issue or on an ongoing basis. References in this Base Prospectus to the "relevant Dealer"
shall, in the case of an issue of Notes being (or intended to be) subscribed by more than one Dealer,
be to all Dealers agreeing to subscribe for such Notes.
The Dealers have not independently verified the information contained herein. Accordingly, no
representation, warranty or undertaking, express or implied, is made and no responsibility or liability
is accepted by the Dealers as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained or
incorporated in this Base Prospectus or any other information provided by the Issuers in connection
with the Programme. No Dealer accepts any liability in relation to the information contained or
incorporated by reference in this Base Prospectus or any other information provided by the Issuers in
connection with the Programme.
No person is or has been authorised by the Issuers to give any information or to make any
representation not contained in or not consistent with this Base Prospectus or any other information
supplied in connection with the Programme or the Notes and, if given or made, such information or
representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuers or any of the Dealers.
Neither this Base Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection with the Programme

considered as a recommendation by the Issuers or any of the Dealers that any recipient of this Base
Prospectus or any other information supplied in connection with the Programme or any Notes should
purchase any Notes. Each investor contemplating purchasing any Notes should make its own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs, and its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness, of the Issuers. Neither this Base Prospectus nor any other information supplied in
connection with the Programme or the issue of any Notes constitutes an offer or invitation by or on
behalf of the Issuers or any of the Dealers to any person to subscribe for or to purchase any Notes.
Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus nor the offering, sale or delivery of any Notes shall in any
circumstances imply that the information contained in it concerning the Issuers is correct at any time

correct as of any time subsequent to the date indicated in the document containing the same. The
Dealers expressly do not undertake to review the financial condition or affairs of the Issuers during


3





the life of the Programme or to advise any investor in Notes issued under the Programme of any
information coming to their attention. Investors should review, inter alia, the most recently published
documents incorporated by reference into this Base Prospectus when deciding whether or not to
purchase any Notes.
Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the
issue price of Notes and certain other information which is applicable to each Tranche (as defined
under "Terms and Conditions of the Notes") of Notes will be set out in a final terms document (the
"Final Terms") which, with respect to Notes to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange will be
filed with the CSSF. Copies of Final Terms in relation to Notes to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange will also be published on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu).
The Programme provides that Notes may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such
other or further stock exchanges or markets as may be agreed between the relevant Issuer and the
relevant Dealer. The Issuers may each issue unlisted Notes and/or Notes not admitted to trading on
any market or Notes listed or admitted to trading on other stock exchanges.
IMPORTANT ­ EEA RETAIL INVESTORS ­ If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes includes a legend
entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", 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 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, 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
Regulation. Consequently, 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.
IMPORTANT ­ UK RETAIL INVESTORS ­ If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes includes a legend
entitled "Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors", 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 the UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a
retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of UK
domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the
Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ("FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA
to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client,
as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic
law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the UK Prospectus Regulation.
Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part
of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the
Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore
offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may
be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
MiFID II product governance / target market ­ The Final Terms in respect of any Notes 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 II 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 will be a manufacturer for the purpose
of the MiFID II Product Governance Rules.
UK MiFIR product governance / target market ­ The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include
a legend entitled "UK MiFIR 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 "UK distributor") should take into
consideration the target market assessment; however, a UK distributor subject to the FCA Handbook


4





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.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the 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 will be
a manufacturer for the purpose of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules.
EU Benchmarks Regulation - Amounts payable under the Notes may be calculated by reference to
Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR"), which is provided by the European Money Markets Institute
("EMMI"). As at the date of this Base Prospectus, EMMI is included in ESMA's register of administrators
under Article 36 of Regulation (EU) No. 2016/1011 (the "EU Benchmarks Regulation").
NOTIFICATION UNDER SECTION 309B(1)(c) OF THE SECURITIES AND FUTURES ACT 2001 (2020
REVISED EDITION) OF SINGAPORE (as amended or modified from time to time, the "SFA")
Unless otherwise stated in the Final Terms in respect of any Notes, all Notes issued or to be issued
under the Programme shall be prescribed capital markets products (as defined in the Securities and
Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018 of Singapore) and Excluded Investment Products
(as defined in MAS Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and MAS Notice
FAA-N16: Notice on Recommendations on Investment Products).
This Base Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that any Notes with a minimum denomination
of less than EUR 100,000 (or equivalent in another currency) will with respect to the EEA (i) only be
admitted to trading on an EEA regulated market (as defined in MiFID II), or a specific segment of an
EEA regulated market, to which only qualified investors (as defined in the Prospectus Regulation) can
have access (in which case they shall not be offered or sold to non-qualified investors) or (ii) only be
offered to the public in an EEA Member State pursuant to an exemption under Article 1(4) of the
Prospectus Regulation.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION RELATING TO THE USE OF THIS BASE PROSPECTUS AND OFFER OF
NOTES GENERALLY
This Base Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Notes
in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make the offer or solicitation in such
jurisdiction.
The distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offer or sale of Notes may be restricted by law in
certain jurisdictions. The Issuers and the Dealers do not represent that this Base Prospectus may be
lawfully distributed, or that any Notes may be lawfully offered, in compliance with any applicable
registration or other requirements in any such jurisdiction, or pursuant to an exemption available
thereunder, or assume any responsibility for facilitating any such distribution or offering. In particular
no action has been taken by the Issuers or the Dealers which is intended to permit a public offering of
any Notes outside Luxembourg or distribution of this document in any jurisdiction where action for
that purpose is required. Accordingly, no Notes may be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and
neither this Base Prospectus nor any advertisement or other offering material may be distributed or
published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with any
applicable laws and regulations. Persons into whose possession this Base Prospectus or any Notes
may come must inform themselves about, and observe, any such restrictions on the distribution of
this Base Prospectus and the offering and sale of Notes. In particular, there are restrictions on the
distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offer or sale of Notes in the United States, Singapore,
Japan, Switzerland, UK and the EEA (including Belgium and France) (see "Subscription and Sale").
Prospective investors should understand the risks of investing in any type of Note before they make
their investment decision. They should make their own independent decision to invest in any type of
Note and as to whether an investment in such Note is appropriate or proper for them based upon their
own judgment and upon advice from such advisers as they consider necessary.
The Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Each potential investor in the Notes must
determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each


5





potential investor may wish to consider, either on its own or with the help of its financial and other
professional advisers, whether it:
(i)
has sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Notes, the
merits and risks of investing in the Notes and the information contained or incorporated by
reference in this Base Prospectus or any applicable supplement;
(ii)
has access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation, an investment in the Notes and the impact the Notes will have on
its overall investment portfolio;
(iii)
has sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the
Notes, including Notes where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from
the potential investor's currency;
(iv)
understands thoroughly the terms of the Notes and is familiar with the behaviour of financial
markets; and
(v)
is able to evaluate possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may
affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments. The investment activities of certain
investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain
authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what
extent (1) Notes are legal investments for it (2) Notes can be used as collateral for various types of
borrowing and (3) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any Notes. Financial institutions
should consult their legal advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate
treatment of Notes under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, (the "Securities Act") and are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. Subject to certain
exceptions, Notes may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to, or for the
account or benefit of, U.S. persons (see "Subscription and Sale").
