NEDERLANDSE WATERSCHAPSBANK N.V.
(Incorporated in the Netherlands with its statutory seat in The Hague)
75,000,000,000 Debt Issuance Program
Under this 75,000,000,000 Debt Issuance Program (the `Program') Nederlandse Waterschapsbank N.V. (the
`Issuer' or `NWB Bank') may from time to time issue notes (the `Notes') denominated in any currency agreed
between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer (as defined below). As set out herein, the Notes will not be subject to any
maximum maturity but will have a minimum maturity of one month. The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all
Notes from time to time outstanding will not exceed 75,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency
calculated as described herein).
The Notes will be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified below and any additional Dealer
appointed for the duration of the Program or, with regard to an issue of a particular tranche of Notes, for the purposes
of that tranche (each a `Dealer' and together the `Dealers'). The Dealer or Dealers with whom the Issuer agrees or
proposes to agree on the issue of any Notes is or are referred to as the `relevant Dealer' in respect of those Notes.
The Notes will be issued in series (each a `Series') each of which will comprise one or more tranches (each a
`Tranche').
This document constitutes a base prospectus dated 28 April 2023 (the `Base Prospectus') within the meaning of
Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, the `Prospectus Regulation'). The Base Prospectus is issued in replacement
of a prospectus dated 29 April 2022, which does not affect any notes issued prior to the date of this Base Prospectus.
This Base Prospectus has been approved by the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (Stichting Autoriteit
Financiële Markten, the `AFM'), which is the Dutch competent authority for the purpose of the Prospectus Regulation,
as a base prospectus issued in compliance with the Prospectus Regulation in the Netherlands for the purpose of giving
information with regard to the issue of Notes during the period of twelve months after the date hereof.
This Base Prospectus shall be valid for use only by the Issuer for a period of up to 12 months after its approval
by the AFM and shall expire on 28 April 2024, at the latest.
The obligation to supplement this Base Prospectus, in the event of significant new factors, material mistakes or
material inaccuracies only, shall cease to apply upon the expiry of the validity period of this Base Prospectus. The
AFM only approves this Base Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency
imposed by the Prospectus Regulation. Such approval should not be considered as an endorsement of the Issuer that
is the subject of this Base Prospectus nor as an endorsement of the quality of any Notes that are the subject of this
Base Prospectus. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in the securities.
Application may be made for Notes to be admitted to trading on Euronext Amsterdam (`Euronext Amsterdam'), the
regulated market of Euronext Amsterdam N.V., the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the
`Luxembourg Stock Exchange'), Euronext Paris (`Euronext Paris'), the regulated market of Euronext Paris S.A.
and Eurex Deutschland (`Eurex Deutschland'), the regulated market of Eurex Frankfurt AG. In addition, Notes may
be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on any other stock exchange or market specified in the applicable
Final Terms. The Program also permits Notes to be issued on the basis that they will not be admitted to listing, trading
and/or quotation by any listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system.
The AFM has been requested by the Issuer to provide the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur
Financier (the `CSSF'), the French Autorité des marchés financiers (the `AMF') and the German Bundesanstalt für
Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht (the `BaFin') with a certificate of approval attesting that the Base Prospectus has been
drawn up in accordance with Article 25 of the Prospectus Regulation.

The AFM shall notify the European Securities and Markets Authority (`ESMA') of the approval of this Base
Prospectus and any supplement hereto at the same time as such approval is notified to the Issuer. In addition, the AFM
shall provide ESMA with a copy of this Base Prospectus and any supplement hereto.
The Program has been rated AAA (in respect of Notes with a maturity of more than one year) and A-1+ (in respect of
Notes with a maturity of one year or less) by S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited (`S&P') and has been rated P-1 (in
respect of short-term Notes) and Aaa (in respect of senior unsecured medium-term Notes) by Moody's France S.A.S.
or any other registered Moody's branch (`Moody's'). Series of Notes may be rated or unrated. Where a Series of Notes
is rated, such rating will not necessarily be the same as the ratings assigned to the Program. A security 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. As of the date of this Base Prospectus, each of S&P and Moody's is established in the
European Union and is registered under Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of 16 September 2009 on credit rating
agencies (as amended and supplemented, the `CRA Regulation').
The rating of a certain Series of Notes, if applicable, will be specified in the applicable Final Terms. Whether or not
each credit rating applied for in relation to such Series of Notes will be issued by a credit rating agency established in
the European Union and registered or certified under the CRA Regulation will be disclosed clearly and prominently
in the Final Terms.
The Issuer may agree with any Dealer that Notes may be issued in a form not contemplated by the Terms and
Conditions of the Notes as set out herein, in which case a supplement, a new base prospectus or a drawdown
prospectus, as appropriate, will be made available which will describe the effect of the agreement reached in relation
to such Notes and, if relevant, which will be subject to the prior approval of the AFM.
The information on the websites to which a hyperlink has been included in this Base Prospectus does not form part of
this Base Prospectus and has not been scrutinized or approved by the AFM.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the
`Securities Act') or any U.S. state securities laws, and the Notes may not be offered, sold or delivered within the
United States, or to or for the account or benefit of U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S (`Regulation S') under
the Securities Act), except pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements
of the Securities Act, applicable U.S. state securities laws or pursuant to an effective registration statement. The Notes
may be offered and sold (a) in bearer form outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S
and (b) in registered form within the United States, to persons who are `qualified institutional buyers' (`QIBs') within
the meaning of and in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act (`Rule 144A') and outside the United States to
non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S. Prospective purchasers who are QIBs are hereby notified that
sellers of the Notes may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act
provided by Rule 144A. For a description of these and certain further restrictions on offers, sales, and transfers of
Notes and distribution of this Base Prospectus, see `Plan of Distribution' and `Transfer Restrictions'. Notes in bearer
form are subject to U.S. tax law requirements.
An investment in the Notes involves certain risks. Prospective investors should have regard to the risk factors
described under `Risk Factors' in this Base Prospectus.
This Base Prospectus must be read and construed together with any amendments or supplements hereto and with the
documents incorporated by reference herein (which can be found on the website of the Issuer, https://nwbbank.com
and may be obtained by contacting the Issuer by telephone (+31 70 416 62 66) or by e-mail: [email protected]),

Terms.

(`NGN') form, with a common safekeeper for Euroclear
Bank SA/NV (`Euroclear') and Clearstream Banking,
S.A. (`Clearstream, Luxembourg') or (ii) if the Bearer

Global Note' and together with the Temporary Bearer
Global Notes, the `Bearer Global Notes') or Bearer Notes
in definitive form (`Definitive Bearer Notes') from the
40th day after the date on which the Temporary Bearer
Global Note is issued upon certain conditions including, in
the case of a Temporary Bearer Global Note where the
issue is subject to the TEFRA D Rules, upon certification
of non-U.S. beneficial ownership as required by U.S.
Treasury regulations. The applicable Final Terms will
specify that a Permanent Bearer Global Note is
exchangeable for Definitive Bearer Notes either (i) upon
not less than 30 days' notice or (ii) upon the occurrence of
certain Exchange Events, as described in `Form of the
Notes' herein. Any interest in a Bearer Global Note will be
transferable only in accordance with the rules and
procedures for the time being of either Euroclear and/or
Clearstream, Luxembourg as appropriate.

Registered Notes
The Registered Notes of each Tranche offered and sold in
`offshore transactions' within the meaning of Regulation
S will be sold to non-U.S. persons outside the United
States and will initially be represented by a global note in
registered form (a `Regulation S Global Note'). The
Registered Notes of each Tranche offered and sold in the
United States or to U.S. persons may only be offered and
sold in private transactions to QIBs and will initially be
represented by a global note in registered form (a `Rule
144A Global Note' and, together with a Regulation S
Global Note, the `Registered Global Notes' and together
with Bearer Global Notes, `Global Notes').

Registered Global Notes will (i) be deposited with a
custodian for, and registered in the name of a nominee of,
The Depository Trust Company (`DTC') and/or (ii) be
deposited with a common depositary or common
safekeeper, as the case may be for Euroclear and/or
Clearstream, Luxembourg, and registered in the name of a
common nominee of, Euroclear and Clearstream,
Luxembourg or in the name of a nominee of the common
safekeeper as specified in the applicable Final Terms.

The Registered Global Notes will be subject to certain
restrictions on transfer set forth therein and will bear a
legend regarding such restrictions (see `Plan of
Distribution' and `Transfer Restrictions'). In addition, no

will be able to transfer such interest, except in accordance
with the applicable procedures of DTC, Euroclear and
Clearstream, Luxembourg, in each case to the extent
applicable.
Fixed Rate Notes
Interest on Fixed Rate Notes will be payable on the date or
dates specified in the applicable Final Terms and on

Count Fraction as may be agreed between the Issuer and
the relevant Dealer (as specified in the applicable Final

formula's specified in Condition 5.2(c) and/or Condition
7.8 of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes, respectively,

Terms.
