This Base Prospectus has been approved by the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier
(the "CSSF"), which is the Luxembourg competent authority under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to
the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market, and repealing Directive 2003/71/EC (the "EU Prospectus
Regulation"), as a base prospectus (the "Base Prospectus") issued in compliance with the EU Prospectus
Regulation and the Luxembourg law of 16 July 2019 on prospectuses for securities for the purpose of giving
information with regard to the notes ("Notes") issued under the 10,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note
Programme (the "Programme") described in this Base Prospectus during the period of twelve (12) months after
the date hereof. The CSSF has only approved this Base Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness,
comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the EU Prospectus Regulation. Such an approval should not be
considered as an endorsement of ArcelorMittal ("ArcelorMittal", the "Issuer" or the "Company") nor as an
endorsement of the quality of any Notes that are the subject of this Base Prospectus. The CSSF assumes no
responsibility for the economic or financial soundness of the transactions contemplated by this Base Prospectus
or the quality or solvency of the Issuer. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of
investing in such Notes. Application has been made for the Notes, during the period of twelve (12) months after
the date hereof, to be admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's Regulated Market (Bourse de
Luxembourg) and to be listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, which is a regulated market
(a "Regulated Market") as defined in the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended
("EU MiFID II") and published on the list of the regulated markets in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Base Prospectus shall be valid until 15 December 2024, 12 months after the date of approval by the CSSF,
provided that it is completed until such date by any supplement pursuant to Article 23 of the EU Prospectus
Regulation, following the occurrence of a significant new factor, a material mistake or a material inaccuracy
relating to the information included in this Base Prospectus which may affect the assessment of the Notes. The
Programme also permits Notes to be issued on the basis that they will not be admitted to listing, trading and/or
quotation by any competent authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system or to be admitted to listing, trading
and/or quotation by such other or further competent authorities, stock exchanges and/or quotation systems as may
be agreed with the Issuer. In the case of any Notes which are to be listed and admitted to trading on a Regulated
Market within the European Economic Area ("EEA") and/or offered to the public in a Member State of the EEA
which would otherwise require the publication of a prospectus under the EU Prospectus Regulation (as defined
herein) in respect of such offering, the minimum specified denomination shall be 100,000 (or its equivalent in
any other currency as at the date of issue of the Notes).
Notes issued under the Programme may, or may not, be rated. The rating (if any) may be specified in the relevant
Final Terms (as defined herein). Whether or not each credit rating applied for in relation to a relevant Series of
Notes (as defined herein) will be (i) issued or endorsed by a credit rating agency established in the EEA and
registered under Regulation (EU) No 1060/2009, as amended (the "EU CRA Regulation") and/or (ii) issued or
endorsed by a credit rating agency established in the United Kingdom ("UK") and registered or certified under
the Regulation (EU) No 1060/2009 as it forms part of domestic law of the United Kingdom by virtue of the
1


European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "UK CRA Regulation"), will be disclosed in the relevant Final
Terms. The list of registered rating agencies published by the European Securities and Markets Authority
("ESMA") will appear on its website (http://www.esma.europa.eu/page/List-registered-and-certified-CRAs) in
accordance with the EU CRA Regulation. A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and
may be subject to suspension, change, or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. In general, EEA
regulated investors are restricted from using a credit rating for regulatory purposes if such a credit rating is not
issued by a credit rating agency established in the EEA and registered under the EU CRA Regulation. This general
restriction will also apply in the case of credit ratings issued by third country non-EEA credit rating agencies,
unless an exception applies, including the relevant credit ratings having been endorsed by an EEA-registered
credit rating agency. Investors regulated in the UK are subject to similar restrictions under the UK CRA
Regulation.
Investing in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. The principal risk factors that may
affect the abilities of the Issuer to fulfil its respective obligations under the Notes are discussed under "Risk
Factors" below.

Final Terms (as defined below) for each Tranche of Notes issued under the Programme. To the best of the

Conditions of the Notes" (the "Conditions") as completed by a document specific to such Tranche called final
terms (the "Final Terms"). This Base Prospectus must be read and construed together with any supplements
hereto and with any information incorporated by reference herein and, in relation to any Tranche of Notes,
must be read and construed together with the relevant Final Terms.
No person has been authorised to give any information or to make any representation concerning the Issuer,
the Programme or the Notes, other than as contained or incorporated by reference in this Base Prospectus and,
if given or made, any such other information or representation should not be relied upon as having been
authorised by the Issuer or any Dealer.
Neither the Dealers (as defined herein) nor any of their respective affiliates have authorised the whole or any
part of this Base Prospectus and none of them makes any representation or warranty or accepts any
responsibility as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in this Base Prospectus or any
3


responsibility for the acts or omissions of the Issuer or any other person (other than the relevant Dealer) in
connection with the issue and offering of the Notes. Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus or any Final
Terms nor the offering, sale or delivery of any Note shall, in any circumstances, create any implication that
the information contained in this Base Prospectus is true subsequent to the date hereof or the date upon which
this Base Prospectus has been most recently amended or supplemented or that there has been no adverse
change, or any event reasonably likely to involve any adverse change, in the prospects or financial or trading
position of the Issuer since the date thereof or, if later, the date upon which this Base Prospectus has been most
recently amended or supplemented or that any other information supplied in connection with the Programme
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.
The distribution of this Base Prospectus and any Final Terms and the offering, sale and delivery of the Notes
in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Base Prospectus or any
Final Terms comes are required by the Issuer and the Dealers to inform themselves about and to observe any
such restrictions. Any investor purchasing the Notes under this Base Prospectus and any Final Terms is solely
responsible for ensuring that any offer or resale of the Notes it purchased under this Base Prospectus and any
Final Terms occurs in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. For a description of certain restrictions
on offers, sales and deliveries of Notes and on the distribution of this Base Prospectus or any Final Terms and
other offering material relating to the Notes, see "Subscription and Sale". In particular, Notes have not been
and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
and Notes that are not in registered form for U.S. federal tax purposes are subject to U.S. tax law requirements.
Subject to certain exceptions, Notes that are not in registered form for U.S. federal tax purposes may not be
offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to U.S. persons.
Neither this Base Prospectus nor any Final Terms constitutes an offer or an invitation to subscribe for or
purchase any Notes and should not be considered as a recommendation by the Issuer, the Dealers or any of
them that any recipient of this Base Prospectus or any Final Terms should subscribe for or purchase any Notes.
Each recipient of this Base Prospectus or any Final Terms shall be taken to have made its own investigation
and appraisal of the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Issuer.
The maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any one time under the Programme will not
exceed 10,000,000,000 (and for this purpose, any Notes denominated in another currency shall be translated
into euro at the date of the agreement to issue such Notes calculated in accordance with the provisions of the
Dealer Agreement). The maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be outstanding at any one
time under the Programme may be increased from time to time, subject to compliance with the relevant
provisions of the Dealer Agreement as defined under "Subscription and Sale".
In this Base Prospectus, unless otherwise specified, references to a "Member State" are references to a

The requirement to publish a prospectus under the EU Prospectus Regulation only applies to Notes which are
to be admitted to trading on a Regulated Market and/or offered to the public in the EEA other than in
circumstances where an exemption is available under Article 1(4) and/or 3(2) of the EU Prospectus Regulation.
This document is only being distributed to and is only directed at (i) persons who are outside the United
Kingdom or (ii) investment professionals falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets
Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (the "Order") or (iii) high net worth entities, and other persons
to whom it may lawfully be communicated, falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (e) of the Order (all such persons
together being referred to as "Relevant Persons"). Any Notes will only be available to, and any invitation,
offer or agreement to subscribe, purchase or otherwise acquire such Notes will be engaged in only with
Relevant Persons. Any person who is not a Relevant Person should not act or rely on this document or any of
its contents.
For a more complete description of certain restrictions on offering and sale of Notes and on distribution of this
Base Prospectus and any Final Terms, see "Subscription and Sale".
Copies of this document will be available free of charge during normal business hours on any week day (except
public holidays) at the offices of the Issuer.
This document will be published on the website of the Issuer at

Stock Exchange at www.luxse.com.
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the
stabilisation manager(s) (the "Stabilisation Manager(s)") (or persons acting on behalf of any
Stabilisation Manager(s)) in the applicable Final Terms may over allot Notes or effect transactions with
a view to supporting the market 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 final 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
calendar days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche of Notes and 60 calendar days after the date
of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must be
conducted by the Stabilisation Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilisation Manager(s))
in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Base Prospectus contains forward-looking statements based on estimates and assumptions. Forward-
looking statements include, among other things, statements concerning the business, future financial condition,
results of operations and prospects of ArcelorMittal, including its subsidiaries. These statements usually
contain the words "believes", "plans", "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "estimates" or other similar
expressions. For each of these statements, you should be aware that forward-looking statements involve known
and unknown risks and uncertainties. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in these forward-
looking statements are reasonable, there is no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated will
be realised or, even if realised, that they will have the expected effects on the business, financial condition,
results of operations or prospects of ArcelorMittal.
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which the statements were made, and no
obligation has been undertaken to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made in this
3


prospectus or elsewhere as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by
applicable laws and regulations.
PRIIPs / 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 Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended ("EU MiFID II"), or (ii) a customer
within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where
that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of EU MiFID
II. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the
"EU PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail
investors (as defined above) in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or
otherwise making them available to any such retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs
Regulation.
PRIIPs / IMPORTANT / PROHIBITION ON 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 domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA"); or (ii) a
customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA")
and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement the Insurance Distribution Directive, 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 domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently no key information
document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of 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.
Product Governance under EU MiFID II
A determination will be made in relation to each issue of Notes about whether, for the purpose of the product
governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "EU 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 EU
MiFID II Product Governance Rules.
The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "EU 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
EU 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.
Product Governance under UK MiFIR
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the UK MiFIR product
governance rules set out in the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the
4


"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.
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 Distributor should take into consideration the target market assessment;
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.
Singapore - Product classification pursuant to Section 309B of the Securities and Futures Act 2001
The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "Singapore Securities and Futures Act
Product Classification" which will state the product classification of the Notes pursuant to Section 309B(1) of
the Securities and Futures Act 2001 of Singapore, as modified or amended from time to time (the "SFA").
The Issuer will make a determination and provide the appropriate written notification to "relevant persons" in
relation to each issue about the classification of the Notes being offered for the purposes of Section 309B(1)(a)
and Section 309B(1)(c) of the SFA.
