Base Prospectus dated 3 June 2016
This document constitutes the base prospectus for purposes of Art. 5(4) of Directive 2003/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 4 November 2003, as amended (including by Directive 2010/73/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of
24 November 2010) (the "Prospectus Directive") of Otto (GmbH & Co KG) relating to issues of non-equity securities ("Non-Equity
Securities") within the meaning of Art. 22 No. 6(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 809/2004 of 29 April 2004, as amended (the
"Prospectus Regulation") under the Programme (as defined below) (the "Base Prospectus").
OTTO (GMBH & CO KG)
(Hamburg, Federal Republic of Germany)
2,000,000,000 Debt Issuance Programme
Under this Base Prospectus, Otto (GmbH & Co KG) (the "Issuer"), subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and
directives, may from time to time issue unsubordinated bearer notes in a minimum denomination of 1,000 per Note (together the
"Notes"). The aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Debt Issuance Programme described in this Base Prospectus (the
"Programme") outstanding will not at any time exceed 2,000,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies). The principal amount
of the Notes, the issue currency, the interest payable in respect of the Notes, the issue price, the maturity and all other specific terms
of the Notes which are applicable to the particular Series and, if applicable, Tranche of Notes (each term as defined below, see
"General description of the Programme") will be set out in the document containing the final terms (the "Final Terms") within the
meaning of Art. 26(5) of the Prospectus Regulation.
The Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF") of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in its capacity as competent
authority (the "Competent Authority") under the Prospectus Directive has approved this Base Prospectus as a base prospectus
within the meaning of Art. 5(4) of the Prospectus Directive pursuant to article 7 of the Luxembourg act relating to prospectuses for
securities (loi relative aux prospectus pour valeurs mobilières) dated 10 July 2005, as amended, which implements the Prospectus
Directive into Luxembourg law (the "Luxembourg Prospectus Law"). By approving this Base Prospectus, the CSSF gives no
undertaking as to the economic and financial soundness of the operation or the quality or solvency of the Issuer and it does not act as
competent authority for the approval of this Base Prospectus to the extent Notes are to be admitted to trading on the Euro MTF
operated by the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
Application has also been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes issued under the Programme for the period of twelve
months from the date of the publication of this Base Prospectus to be listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
and to be admitted to trading on the Euro MTF operated by the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The Luxembourg Stock Exchange's
Euro MTF is a multilateral trading facility for the purposes of the Investment Services Directive 2004/39/EC and, therefore, not an
EU-regulated market. Notes issued under the Programme may also not be listed at all.
The Notes may be offered to the public in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and/or the Republic of Austria and/or the Federal
Republic of Germany and/or The Netherlands into which the Prospectus has been passported in accordance with the respective legal
requirements. The Issuer has requested the CSSF in its capacity as Competent Authority to provide the competent authorities in
Germany, Austria and The Netherlands with a certificate of approval attesting that the Base Prospectus has been drawn up in
accordance with the Luxembourg Prospectus Law and may request the CSSF in its capacity as Competent Authority to provide
competent authorities in host Member States within the European Economic Area with a certificate of approval attesting that the
Base Prospectus has been drawn up in accordance with the Luxembourg Prospectus Law (the "Notification"). In the latter case a
supplement to the Base Prospectus will be prepared.
Each Tranche of Notes will be represented on issue by a temporary global note (each a "Temporary Global Note"). Interests in a
Temporary Global Note will be exchangeable, in whole or in part, for interest in a permanent global note (each a "Permanent
Global Note") on or after the date 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the relevant issue date (the
"Exchange Date"), upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership. The Notes are intended to be held in a manner which
would allow Eurosystem eligibility. Therefore, the Global Notes will be deposited on the issue date either (i) in classical global note
form with Clearstream Banking AG, Frankfurt am Main ("Clearstream, Frankfurt") or (ii) in new global note form with a common
safekeeper for Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme ("Clearstream, Luxembourg")
and/or any other agreed clearing system. It does not necessarily mean that the Notes will be recognised as eligible collateral for
Eurosystem monetary policy and intra-day credit operations by the Eurosystem either upon issue or at any or all times during their
life. Such recognition will depend upon satisfaction of the Eurosystem eligibility criteria applicable from time to time.
This Base Prospectus will be published in electronic form on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu). This
Base Prospectus is valid for a period of twelve months after its approval.

herein by reference (see "Documents Incorporated by Reference" below).
NOTICE
No person has been authorised to give any information or to make any representation other than those
contained in this Base Prospectus in connection with the issue or sale of the Notes and, if given or made, such
information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuer, the Arranger or
any Dealer. Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus nor any sale made in connection herewith shall,
under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the Issuer since
the date hereof or the date upon which this Base Prospectus has been most recently supplemented or that there
has been no adverse change in the financial position of the Issuer since the date hereof or the date upon which
this Base Prospectus has been most recently supplemented or that any other information supplied in
connection with the Programme is correct as of 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 the offering or sale of the Notes in certain jurisdictions may be
restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Base Prospectus comes are required by the Issuer, the

of any credit or other evaluation and should not be considered as a recommendation by any of the Issuer, the
Arranger or the Dealers that any recipient of this Base Prospectus or any other financial statements should

information contained in this Base Prospectus and its purchase of Notes should be based upon such
investigation as it deems necessary. None of the Arranger or the Dealers undertakes to review the financial
condition or affairs of the Issuer during the life of the arrangements contemplated by this Base Prospectus nor
to advise any investor or potential investor in the Notes of any information coming to the attention of any of
the Dealers or the Arranger.
This Base Prospectus may only be used for the purpose for which it has been published.
Prospective investors should have regard to the factors described under the section headed "Risk Factors" in
this Base Prospectus. This Base Prospectus identifies in general terms certain information that a prospective
investor should consider prior to making an investment in the Notes. However, a prospective investor should
conduct its own thorough analysis (including its own accounting, legal and tax analysis) prior to deciding
whether to invest in any Notes issued under the Programme as any evaluation of the suitability for an investor
of an investment in Notes issued under the Programme depends upon a prospective investor's particular
2


financial and other circumstances, as well as on specific terms of the relevant Notes and, if it does not have
experience in financial, business and investment matters sufficient to permit it to make such a determination,
it should consult its financial adviser prior to deciding to make an investment on the suitability of any Notes.
In connection with the issue of any Tranche (as defined below), the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the
stabilising manager(s) (the "Stabilising Manager(s)") (or a person 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 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 a person 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 is made and, if begun, may be ended at any
time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 calendar days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche
and 60 calendar days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche. Any stabilisation action or over-
allotment must be conducted by the relevant Stabilising Manager(s) (or a person acting on behalf of any
Stabilising Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
