Under this Euro 30,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "Programme"), Landesbank Sachsen Girozentrale (the "Bank") and Sachsen LB
Europe plc ("SLB Europe" and, together with the Bank, the "Issuers" and each, in relation to Notes issued by it, an "Issuer") may from time to time issue notes (the
"Notes" which will include Senior Notes and Subordinated Notes in bearer form (each as defined herein) and will also if Notes will be issued by the Bank, include
mortgage and public sector Pfandbriefe in bearer or registered form (the "Pfandbriefe") unless specified otherwise herein).
The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Notes from time to time outstanding will not exceed Euro 30,000,000,000 (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 on page 7 and any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme
from time to time, which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis (each a "Dealer" and together the "Dealers"). The Programme is, and Notes
issued under it may be, denominated in "Euro".
Application has been made to list Notes (including Pfandbriefe) in bearer form issued pursuant to the Programme on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange during
the period of 12 months after the date of this Offering Circular. Application has also been made by SLB Europe to the Irish Stock Exchange Limited (the "Irish Stock
Exchange") for the Notes issued by SLB Europe under the Programme within 12 months of this Offering Circular to be admitted to the Official List of the Irish Stock
Exchange (the "Official List"). Pfandbriefe issued by the Bank under the Programme in registered form will not be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Notice
of the aggregate nominal amount of, interest (if any) payable in respect of, the issue price of, and any other Terms and Conditions not contained herein which are

This document (except as provided herein) comprises listing particulars ("Listing Particulars") approved by the Irish Stock Exchange in relation only to Notes
to be issued by SLB Europe during the period of 12 months from the date of these Listing Particulars. A copy of these Listing Particulars have been delivered for
registration to the Registrar of Companies in Ireland as required by the European Communities (Stock Exchange) Regulations 1984 (as amended) of Ireland. Copies

Conditions of the Notes), the legal contracts prepared in connection with the Programme will be amended and a supplement to this Offering Circular will be prepared.
The Programme provides that Notes (including Pfandbriefe) in bearer form may be listed on such other or further stock exchange(s) as may be agreed between
the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer. The Issuers may also issue unlisted Notes. The applicable Pricing Supplement or, as the case may be, Supplemental Offering
Circular, in respect of a Series will specify whether or not such Notes, in the case of SLB Europe, will be listed on the Irish Stock Exchange (or any other Stock
Exchange).
References in this Offering Circular 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 purchase such Notes.
The Notes of each Series will initially be represented by a temporary global note (each a "Temporary Global Note") which will be deposited on or before the
issue date thereof with a common depositary on behalf of Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. as operator of the Euroclear System ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking, société
anonyme ("Clearstream, Luxembourg") and/or any other agreed clearance system and which will be exchangeable for a permanent global note (each a "Permanent

Services, a Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. The Notes issued under the Programme by SLB Europe have been rated by Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services and Fitch Ratings, Ltd.. Notes issued pursuant to the Programme may be rated or unrated. Where an issue of Notes is rated, its rating will not necessarily be
the same as the rating applicable to the Programme. A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or
withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.
The Issuers may agree with any Dealer and the Issuing Agent that Notes may be issued in a form not contemplated by the Terms and Conditions of the Notes
in which case the applicable Pricing Supplement will specify the form and the Terms and Conditions of such Notes.
This Offering Circular is only valid for one year from its date and supersedes and replaces the Offering Circular dated 19 August 2003 issued by the Issuers.

informed assessment of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses and prospects of the Issuer, and

for use in connection with any subsequent offering of the Notes, and shall supply to each Dealer such number of
copies of such supplement hereto as such Dealer may reasonably request.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMME
Under the Programme, the Issuers may from time to time issue Notes denominated in any currency (including
Euro), subject to the provisions set out herein. A summary of the Terms and Conditions of the Programme and the
Notes follows. The applicable terms of any Notes will be agreed between the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer
prior to the issue of the Notes and will be set out in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes endorsed on, or attached
to, the Notes, as may be modified and supplemented by the applicable Pricing Supplement attached to, or endorsed
on, such Notes, as more fully described under "Form of the Notes" below.
This Offering Circular and any supplement will only be valid for listing Notes in an aggregate nominal amount
which, when added to the aggregate nominal amount then outstanding of all Notes previously or simultaneously
issued under the Programme, does not exceed Euro 30,000,000,000 or its equivalent in other currencies either as of
the date on which agreement is reached for the issue of Notes or on the preceding day on which commercial banks
and foreign exchange markets are open for business in London. For the purpose of calculating the Euro equivalent of
the aggregate nominal amount of Notes issued under the Programme from time to time:
(i) the Euro equivalent of Notes denominated in another currency shall be determined, at the discretion of the
Issuer, either as of the date on which agreement is reached for the issue of Notes or on the preceding day on
which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets are open for business in London, in each case on the
basis of the spot rate for the sale of the Euro against the purchase of such currency in the London foreign
exchange market, quoted by any leading international bank selected by the relevant Issuer on the relevant day
of calculation;
(ii)
the Euro equivalent of dual-currency Notes, indexed Notes and partly-paid Notes (each as referred to in
"Summary of the Programme and of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes and the Pfandbriefe") shall be
calculated in the manner specified above by reference to the original nominal amount on issue of such Notes
(in the case of partly-paid Notes regardless of the subscription price paid); and
(iii) the Euro equivalent of zero-coupon Notes (as referred to in "Summary of the Programme and of the Terms and
Conditions of the Notes and the Pfandbriefe") and other Notes issued at a discount or a premium shall be
calculated in the manner specified above by reference to the net proceeds received by the relevant Issuer for the
relevant issue.

Notes may be issued by the Bank as Mortgage Pfandbriefe

with a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or
any other agreed clearance system and which will be exchangeable as described
therein either for definitive Pfandbriefe or for a permanent global Pfandbrief not

and on redemption.
Interest will be calculated on an Actual/Actual ISMA basis (or such other basis as

Floating Rate Notes:
Floating Rate Notes will bear interest at a rate determined either:
·
on the same basis as the floating rate under a notional interest rate swap
transaction in the relevant currency governed by an agreement incorporating
the 2000 ISDA Definitions (as may be published by the International Swaps
and Derivatives Association, Inc., and as amended and updated as at the
Issue Date of the first Series of the Notes of the relevant Series); or
·
on the basis of a reference rate appearing on the agreed screen page of a
commercial quotation service; or
·
on such other basis as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant
Dealer, as indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement.
The Margin (if any) relating to such floating rate will be agreed between the Issuer
and the relevant Dealer for each Series of Floating Rate Notes.

Payments of principal in respect of Indexed Redemption Amount Notes or of
interest in respect of Indexed Interest Notes will be calculated by reference to such
index, reference asset value and/or formula as the Issuer and the relevant Dealer
may agree, as indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement.
Other provisions in relation to
Floating Rate Notes and Indexed Interest Notes may also have a maximum
Floating Rate Notes and
interest rate, a minimum interest rate or both (as indicated in the applicable
Indexed Interest Notes:
Pricing Supplement).
Interest on Floating Rate Notes and Indexed Interest Notes in respect of each
Interest Period, as selected prior to issue by the Issuer and the relevant Dealer, will
be payable on such Interest Payment Dates specified in, or determined pursuant
to, the applicable Pricing Supplement and will be calculated, subject to Condition
2 of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes, on the basis of the actual number of
days in the Interest Period concerned divided by 360 (or 365/366 in the case of
Notes denominated in Sterling) unless otherwise indicated in the applicable
Pricing Supplement.
9

Dual-Currency Notes:
Payments (whether in respect of principal or interest and whether at maturity or
otherwise) in respect of dual-currency Notes will be made in such currencies, and
based on such rates of exchange, as the Issuer and the relevant Dealer may agree,
as indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement.
Zero-Coupon Notes:
Zero-coupon Notes will be offered and sold at a discount to their nominal amount
and will not bear interest other than in the case of late payment.
Other Notes:
The relevant Issuer may agree with any Dealer and the Issuing Agent that Notes
may be issued in a form not contemplated by the Terms and Conditions of the
Notes, in which case the applicable Pricing Supplement will specify the form and
the Terms and Conditions of such Notes. Such Notes may or may not be listed on
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or, in the case of SLB Europe, on the Irish Stock
Exchange.
Redemption:
The Pricing Supplement relating to each Series of Notes will indicate either that
the Notes of such Series cannot be redeemed prior to their stated maturity (other
than in specified instalments (see below), if applicable, or for taxation reasons or
following an Event of Default) or that such Notes will be redeemable at the option
of the Issuer and/or the Noteholders upon giving either not less than 30 days'
irrevocable notice or such other notice period (if any) as is indicated in the
applicable Pricing Supplement to the Noteholders or the Issuer, as the case may
be, on a date or dates specified prior to such stated maturity and at a price or prices
and on such terms as are indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement.
Unless otherwise permitted by then current laws and regulations, Notes (including
Notes denominated in Sterling) which have a maturity of less than one year and

The Pricing Supplement may provide that Notes may be repayable in two or more
instalments of such amounts and on such dates as are indicated in the applicable
Pricing Supplement.
Denomination of Notes:
Notes will be issued in such denominations as may be agreed between the Issuer
and the relevant Dealer and as indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement
save that the minimum denomination of each Note will be such as may be allowed
or required from time to time by the relevant central bank, stock exchange (or
equivalent authority) or any laws or regulations applicable to the relevant
currency.
Unless otherwise permitted by then current laws and regulations, Notes (including
Notes denominated in Sterling) which have a maturity of less than one year and
in respect of which the issue proceeds are to be accepted by the relevant Issuer in
the United Kingdom or whose issue otherwise constitutes a contravention of
section 19 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 will have a minimum
denomination of £100,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies).
Taxation:
All payments in respect of the Notes will be made without deduction for or on
