OESTERREICHISCHE KONTROLLBANK AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT
Incorporation, Duration, Business and Registered Office
The Bank is an Austrian banking corporation which was incorporated under the laws of the Republic of
Austria ("Austria") in 1946 for an indefinite period of time.
The business of the Bank consists of the provision of specialized services in the Austrian economy outside
routine commercial banking functions. In 1950 the Bank became involved in the financing and promotion of
Austrian exports. Since the original adoption of the Export Promotion Act in 1964, which was replaced on
June 1, 1981 by the Export Guarantees Act of 1981 and which has since been amended (the "Export Guarantees
Act"), the Bank has acted as the sole agent of Austria for the administration of guarantees issued by Austria
thereunder covering commercial, political and foreign exchange risks in connection with Austrian exports. The
Bank also provides medium- and long-term financing to Austrian banks and foreign importers for export
transactions the repayment of which is guaranteed by Austria under the Export Guarantees Act. Substantially all
borrowings by the Bank in connection with export loan financing are guaranteed either as to principal and
interest, as to foreign exchange risk or as to both by Austria under the Export Financing Guarantees Act of 1981,
as amended (the "Export Financing Guarantees Act"). The Bank also engages in certain other financial activities
including non-export related lending to Austrian public entities, money market dealings and the organization and
administration of domestic bond issues. The Bank also operates the clearing system of the Vienna Stock
Exchange (in which context the Bank may be registered as the holder of shares of foreign companies which are
traded on the Vienna Stock Exchange). The Bank does not accept deposits from the general public or engage in
general lending or other commercial banking activities.
The Bank's registered office is at Am Hof 4, A-1010 Vienna, Austria.
Share Capital
The authorized share capital of the Bank is EUR 130 million divided into 880,000 ordinary no par value
shares, all of which are issued and fully paid. The shares are in registered form.
CAPITALIZATION
See "Oesterreichische Kontrollbank Aktiengesellschaft--Capitalization" in Exhibit (d) to amendment no. 1
to the Annual Report on Form 18-K, dated September 3, 2014, incorporated by reference into the Prospectus.
There has been no material change in the long-term indebtedness and capital accounts of the Bank since
September 3, 2014.
GENERAL INFORMATION

Management (Vorstand) of the Bank.

3.
This International Prospectus Supplement, together with the accompanying Prospectus Supplement dated
February 3, 2015 and the Prospectus dated October 9, 2012 (including the information incorporated therein
by reference), fulfills the requirements for a simplified prospectus pursuant to Chapter 2 of Part III of the
Luxembourg Prospectus Act, as amended. It does not constitute a prospectus pursuant to Part II of the
Luxembourg Prospectus Act transforming Directive 2003/71/EC (the "Prospectus Directive") into law in
Luxembourg. Accordingly, this International Prospectus Supplement, together with the accompanying
Prospectus Supplement dated February 3, 2015, and the Prospectus dated October 9, 2012 (including the
information incorporated therein by reference), 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 Notes issued pursuant to this International Prospectus
Supplement will therefore not qualify for the benefit of the single European passport pursuant to the
Prospectus Directive.
4.
The Notes have been accepted for clearance through Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear
(Common Code 118814363, ISIN US676167BM09, CUSIP 676167BM0).
5.

(without charge) its audited annual financial statements at the offices of Banque Internationale a`
Luxembourg, société anonyme (the "Listing Agent"). The Bank does not publish interim financial
statements.
6.
As long as any of the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the Bank will make available
(without charge) its corporate statutes (Satzung), as amended from time to time, at the offices of the Listing
Agent.
7.
As long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange so require, all notices relating to the Notes will be published in a daily newspaper of general
circulation in Luxembourg, which newspaper will normally be the Luxemburger Wort. Such notices may
also be published on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu).
8.
The Bank will also make available a copy of its Annual Report on Form 18-K, dated May 15, 2014, as
amended by Amendment No. 1 dated September 3, 2014, Amendment No. 2 dated October 1, 2014 and
Amendment No. 3 dated January 30, 2015, each incorporated into the Prospectus, on the website of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu).
9.
Except as disclosed herein or in the Prospectus Supplement, there has been no material adverse change in
the financial position or results of operations of the Bank since December 31, 2013.
10. The Bank is not involved in, nor does the Bank have knowledge of any threat of, any legal, arbitration,
administrative or other proceedings (whether as defendant or otherwise) the outcome of which is or may be
material in the context of the issue of the Notes.
11. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly known as Bankers Trust Company) will act as fiscal
agent and principal paying agent (the "Fiscal Agent") in respect of the Notes pursuant to a Fiscal Agency
Agreement dated May 11, 1998 as amended by Supplemental Agency Agreement dated as of September 30,
2000 (the "Fiscal Agency Agreement") among the Bank, the Guarantor and the Fiscal Agent. The address of
the Fiscal Agent is 280 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10017. Payment of principal of and interest on
the Notes will be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes.

Agency Agreement, the Underwriting Agreement and the documents referred to in "Where You Can Find
More Information" in the Prospectus Supplement may be obtained as from the date hereof free of charge at
the registered offices of the Bank in Vienna, Austria and the Listing Agent in Luxembourg.
13. The Bank's registered offices are situated at Am Hof 4, A-1010 Vienna, Austria, and the Bank is registered
at the Companies Register in Vienna under No. FN 857496.
14. The Notes are represented by one or more global certificates in registered form which will be deposited on
or about February 10, 2015 with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as custodian for the Depositary
Trust Company. The guarantee is attached to each global certificate and is signed by a representative of the
Republic of Austria. For more information see "Clearing and Settlement" in the Prospectus. Copies of the
Notes and the Guarantee may be obtained as from the date hereof free of charge at the registered offices of
the Bank in Vienna, Austria, and the Listing Agent in Luxembourg.

between the Bank and the noteholders. In the case that definitive certificates will be issued, notice will be
made by the Bank describing the modalities of payment and transfer in Luxembourg.

Under the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters are committed to take and
pay for all of the Notes, if any are taken.
Each Underwriter, on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates that participates in the initial distribution of the
Notes, has represented and agreed that: (a) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only
communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within
the meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA")) received by it in
connection with the issue or sale of such Notes in circumstances in which section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply
to the Bank or the Guarantor; and (b) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA
with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

S

Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a "Relevant Member State"), with effect
from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State
(the "Relevant Implementation Date") it has not made and will not make an offer of the Notes to the public in

PD Amending Directive, 150, natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the

such offer of Notes shall require the Bank or any Underwriter to publish a prospectus pursuant to
Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression an "offer of Notes to the public" in relation to any Notes
in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information
on the terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe
for the Notes, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus
Directive in that Member State, the expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC (and
amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant
Member State), and includes any relevant implementing measure in the Relevant Member State and the
expression "2010 PD Amending Directive" means Directive 2010/73/EU.
Each of the Underwriters, on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates that participates in the initial
distribution of the Notes represents and agrees with the Bank that it has not offered or sold and will not offer or
sell any Notes, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, any resident of Japan (which term as
used herein means any person resident in Japan, including any corporation or other entity organized under the
laws of Japan) or to others for re-offering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the benefit of a
resident of Japan, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of, and otherwise in
compliance with, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan (Law No. 25 of 1948, as amended) and
any other applicable laws, regulations and ministerial guidelines of Japan.
Each of the Underwriters, on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates that participates in the initial
distribution of the Notes, agrees that it and each such affiliate has not offered, sold or delivered and it and they
will not offer, sell or deliver, directly or indirectly, any of the Notes or distribute the Prospectus, the Prospectus
Supplement or any other offering material relating to the Notes, in or from any jurisdiction except under
circumstances that will, to the best of its or their knowledge and belief after reasonable investigation, result in
compliance with the applicable laws and regulations thereof.
Any offering or sale of the Notes in the United States by Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, Goldman
Sachs International and HSBC Bank plc will be made through their respective registered broker-dealer affiliates.
The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters are subject to certain
conditions, including approval of certain legal matters by counsel. In addition, the Underwriters, after
consultation with the Bank, may terminate the Underwriting Agreement under certain circumstances.
The Notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We intend to apply to list the
Notes on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. We have been advised by the Underwriters
that they intend to make a market in the Notes. The Underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may
discontinue market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the
trading market for the Notes.
