all information with regard to the Issuer and the Notes which is material in the context of the Programme and
the issue and offering of the respective Notes thereunder, that the information contained herein with respect
to the Issuer and the Notes is accurate in all material respects and not misleading and that there are no other
facts with respect to the Issuer or the Notes the omission of which would make the Prospectus as a whole or

tain all facts and to verify the accuracy of all statements contained therein.
No person is authorised to give any information or to make any representation regarding the Issuer or the Notes
which is not contained in or not consistent with this Prospectus or any other document entered into in relation
to the Programme or any written information supplied by the Issuer or any of the Dealers and, if given or made,
such information and representations must not be relied upon as having been authorised by or on behalf of the
Issuer or any of the Dealers.
This Prospectus is valid for 12 months following its date of approval. The delivery of this Prospectus or any Final
Terms and the offering, sale or delivery of any Notes may not be taken as an implication that the information
contained in such documents is accurate and complete subsequent to their respective dates of issue or that
there has been no adverse change in the financial condition of the Issuer since such date or that any other

Terms and, accordingly, and to the extent permitted by the laws of any relevant jurisdiction, none of these
persons accepts any responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in any of

The distribution of this Prospectus, any document incorporated herein by reference and any Final Terms and
the offering, sale and delivery of the Notes in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose
ii



Bayerische Landesbank Debt Issuance Programme Prospectus dated 17 May 2021
possession this Prospectus or any Final Terms come are requested by the Issuer and the Dealers to inform
themselves about and to observe any such restrictions.
For a description of certain restrictions on offers, sales and deliveries of Notes and on the distribution of the
Prospectus or any Final Terms and other offering material relating to the Notes, see "Selling Restrictions". In
particular, the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, and will include Notes
in bearer form that 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 U.S. persons.
Each Dealer and/or each further financial intermediary subsequently reselling or finally placing Notes issued
under the Programme is entitled to use the Prospectus as set out in section 3 "Consent to the Use of the
Prospectus".
The language of the Prospectus is English. Any part of this Prospectus in the German language constitutes a
translation. In respect of the issue of any Tranche of Notes under the Programme, the German text of the Con-
ditions may be controlling and binding if so specified in the relevant Final Terms.
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 under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product Governance Rules"). Any person
subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the
target market assessment under the MiFID Product Governance Rules; 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. The Final Terms in
respect of any Notes may further 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 under the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK
MiFIR Product Governance Rules"). Any distributor should take into consideration the target market assess-
ment; however, a distributor subject to 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 MiFID Product
Governance rules under the MiFID Product Governance Rules and/or 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
MiFID Product Governance Rules and/or the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules.
If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes include 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 European Economic Area ("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; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU, 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 re-
quired 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 Final Terms in respect of any Notes include a legend entitled "PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK RETAIL IN-
VESTORS", 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 United Kingdom (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(1) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/565 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of
the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA"), as amended by the Markets in Financial Instruments
iii



Bayerische Landesbank Debt Issuance Programme Prospectus dated 17 May 2021
(Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Article 68(1) of the Financial
Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001, where that customer would not qualify as a
professional client as defined in point (8) of Article 2(28) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK
domestic law by virtue of the EUWA, as amended by the Markets in Financial Instruments (Amendment) (EU
Exit) Regulations 2018. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014
as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EU-WA (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 or in the UK may be
unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
Interest amounts payable under Floating Rate Notes, Fixed to Floating Rate Notes and Fixed Rate Notes with
Reset Mechanism are calculated by reference to (i) EURIBOR (Euro Interbank Offered Rate) which is provided
by the European Money Markets Institute ("EMMI"); or (ii) STR (Euro short-term Rate) which is provided by
the European Central Bank; or (iii) SONIA (Sterling Overnight Index Average) which is provided by the Bank of
England; or (iv) SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) which is provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York; or (v) SARON (Swiss Average Rate Overnight) which is provided by SIX Swiss Exchange ("SIX"); or (vi) the
BBSW (Bank Bill Swap Rate) which is provided by ASX Limited ("ASX"); or (vii) a euro swap rate which is provided
by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited ("IBA"). As at the date of this Prospectus, each of EMMI and ASX
appear whereas the European Central Bank, Bank of England, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and SIX
and IBA are not included in the register of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by the
European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) pursuant to Article 36 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011, as
amended (the "Benchmark Regulation"). As far as the Issuer is aware, the transitional provisions in Article 51
of the Benchmark Regulation apply, such that SIX and IBA are not currently required to obtain authorisation or
registration (or, if located outside the European Union, recognition, endorsement or equivalence). As central
banks, the European Central Bank, Bank of England and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York are not subject
to the Benchmark Regulation.
This Prospectus may only be used for the purpose for which it has been published.
Each Dealer and/or each further financial intermediary subsequently reselling or finally placing Notes issued
under the Programme is entitled to use the Prospectus as set out in "Consent to the Use of the Prospectus"
below.
This Prospectus and any Final Terms may not be used for the purpose 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 an offer or solicitation.
This Prospectus and any Final Terms do not constitute an invitation to subscribe for or purchase any Notes.
In connection with the issue of any tranche of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the stabilising
manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any stabilising manager(s)) in the applicable Final Terms may over-
allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the 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 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 stabilising manager(s) (or person(s)
acting on behalf of any stabilising manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
In this Prospectus, al references to "EUR", "" or "euro" are to the single currency of certain member states of
the European Union.
The information on any website referenced in the Prospectus, except for information contained in a document
incorporated in this Prospectus by reference which can be viewed on such website, do not form part of the
Prospectus and have not been scrutinized or approved by the CSSF.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements. A forward-looking statement is a statement that
does not relate to historical facts and events. They are based on 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 the Prospectus containing information on future earning capacity, plans
and expectations regarding Bayerische Landesbank'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 Issuer
makes to the best of its present knowledge. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertain-
ties and other factors which could cause actual results, including Bayerische Landesbank'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. Bayerische Landesbank's business is also sub-
ject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause a forward-looking statement, estimate or prediction
in this Prospectus to become inaccurate. Accordingly, investors are strongly advised to read the following sec-
tions of this Prospectus: "Risk Factors" and "Bayerische Landesbank". These sections include more detailed de-
scriptions of factors that might have an impact on Bayerische Landesbank'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, neither the Issuer nor the Dealers assume 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.
