MEDIOBANCA - Banca di Credito Finanziario S.p.A.

Under the Euro 40,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "Programme") described
in this Base Prospectus (as defined below), each of Mediobanca - Banca di Credito Finanziario S.p.A.
("Mediobanca") and Mediobanca International (Luxembourg) S.A. ("Mediobanca International")
(each an "Issuer" and together the "Issuers") may from time to time issue unsubordinated notes
("Senior Notes") and Mediobanca may from time to time issue subordinated notes ("Subordinated
Notes" and, together with the Senior Notes, the "Notes"), subject in each case to compliance with all
relevant laws, regulations and directives. The payment of all amounts due in respect of any Senior
Notes issued by Mediobanca International will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by
Mediobanca (in such capacity, the "Guarantor") under a deed of guarantee and subject to the
limitations thereof executed by the Guarantor and dated 11 December 2015 (the "Deed of
Guarantee") (see "Summary of the Programme Section B.18 Guarantee" on page 17 and "General
Description of the Euro 40,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme Status of the
Guarantee" on page 35). Notes issued under the Programme will have denominations of not less than
Euro 1,000 (or, where the Notes are denominated in a currency other than euro, the equivalent amount
in such other currency).
An investment in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. For a discussion of
these risks, see "Risk Factors" beginning on page 47.
This Base Prospectus has been approved by the Central Bank of Ireland (the "Central Bank") as
competent authority under the Directive 2003/71/EC as amended (the "Prospectus Directive"), the
Central Bank only approves this Base Prospectus as meeting the requirements imposed under Irish and
EU law pursuant to the Prospectus Directive and such approval relates only to the Notes which are to
be admitted to trading on a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2004/39/EC and/or which
are to be offered to the public in any Member State of the European Economic Area. Application will
1

be made to the Irish Stock Exchange for Notes issued under the Programme during the period of 12
months after the date hereof to be admitted to the official list (the "Official List") and to trading on its
regulated market (the "Main Securities Market"). The Main Securities Market is a regulated market
for the purpose of Directive 2004/39/EC, as amended.
The Programme provides that Notes may be listed or admitted to trading (as the case may be) on such
other or further stock exchange(s) or market(s) as may be agreed between the relevant Issuer, the
Guarantor (where applicable) and the relevant Dealer (as defined in "Plan of Distribution").
Unlisted Notes or Notes not admitted to trading on any market may also be issued. This Base
Prospectus comprises two base prospectuses (one for each Issuer, each of which referred to herein as
the "Base Prospectus") for the purposes of the Prospectus Directive.
The Central Bank may, at the request of the relevant Issuer, send to the competent authority of another
European Economic Area Member State (i) a copy of this Base Prospectus; (ii) a certificate of
approval pursuant to Article 18 of the Prospectus Directive attesting that this Base Prospectus has
been drawn up in accordance with the Prospectus Directive (an "Certificate of Approval"); and (iii) if
so required by such competent authority, a translation of the summary set out on pages from 9 to 34 of
this Base Prospectus.
Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the issue
price of Notes and any other terms and conditions not contained herein which are applicable to each
Tranche (as defined below) of Notes will be set out, in the final terms (the "Final Terms") which, with
respect to Notes to be listed on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange, will be delivered to the
Irish Stock Exchange.
For the terms and conditions of the Senior Notes to be issued under the Programme see "Terms and
Conditions of the Senior Notes" below (the "Senior Notes Conditions") and for the terms and
conditions of the Subordinated Notes to be issued under the Programme see "Terms and Conditions of
the Subordinated Notes" below (the "Subordinated Notes Conditions" and, together with the Senior
Notes Conditions, the "Terms and Conditions of the Notes" or the "Conditions").
The Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold within the United
States or to, or for the account or benefit of, any U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S under the
Securities Act) except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Notes will be offered and sold in offshore
transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes
will be in bearer form and as such are subject to certain U.S. tax law requirements.

In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes under the Programme, the Dealer or Dealers (if
any) named as the stabilising manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)
(the "Stabilising 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, there is no assurance that the Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons
acting on behalf of a Stabilising Manager) will undertake stabilisation action. 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 be ended at any time, but it must end no later
than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche of Notes and 60 days after the
date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must

Manager) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.

Notes may be issued on a continuous basis in series (each a "Series") having one or more issue dates
and on terms otherwise identical (or identical other than in respect of the first payment of interest), the
Notes of each Series being intended to be interchangeable with all other Notes of that Series. Each
Series may be issued in tranches (each a "Tranche") on different issue dates. The specific terms of
each Tranche (which, save in respect of the issue date, issue price, first payment of interest and
principal amount of the Tranche, will be identical to the terms of other Tranches of the same Series)
will be set forth in the relevant Final Terms, the form of which is set out in "Form of Final Terms"
below.

will not exceed Euro 40,000,000,000 (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, as defined under "Plan of Distribution"). 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.

"Member State" are references to Member States of the European Economic Area, references to"$",
"U.S.$", "USD" and "US Dollars" are to the lawful currency of the United States of America;
