Restrictions on distribution
The distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offering or sale of Notes in certain jurisdictions may be
restricted by law. Each of the Issuers, the Guarantor and the Dealers do not represent that this Base
Prospectus may be lawfully distributed, or that any Notes may be lawfully offered, in compliance with any
applicable registration or other requirements in any such jurisdiction, or pursuant to an exemption
available thereunder, or assume any responsibility for facilitating any such distribution or offering. No
Notes may be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, to the public, and neither this Base Prospectus nor
any advertisement or other offering material may be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except
under circumstances that will result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations. Persons
into whose possession this Base Prospectus, any Notes may come must inform themselves about, and
observe any such restrictions on the distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offering and sale of
Notes. In particular, the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and are
subject to U.S. tax law requirements.
This Base Prospectus has been prepared by the Issuers and the Guarantor for use in connection with the
offer and sale of Notes in reliance upon Regulation S of the Securities Act outside the United States to
non-U.S. persons or in transactions otherwise exempt from registration. Its use for any other purpose in
the United States is not authorised. It may not be copied or reproduced in whole or in part nor may it be
distributed or any of its contents disclosed to anyone other than the prospective investors to whom it is
originally submitted.
The Notes have not been approved or disapproved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any
state securities commission in the United States or any other U.S. regulatory authority, nor have any of
the foregoing authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Notes or the accuracy
or the adequacy of this Base Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the
United States.
For a description of additional restrictions on the distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offer or
sale of Notes in the United States, the European Economic Area (including the United Kingdom and
Italy) and other jurisdictions, see "Plan of Distribution".
PRIIPs/ IMPORTANT - EEA AND UK RETAIL INVESTORS - If the Final Terms in respect of any
Notes includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA and 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 European Economic Area ("EEA") or in the
United Kingdom ("UK"). 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, "MiFID
II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU, (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 MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU)
2017/1129 (the "Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently, no key information document required 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 or in the UK has been prepared and
therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the
EEA or in the UK may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET - 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. Any
person subsequently offering, selling or recommending such Notes (a "distributor") should take into
consideration the target market assessment; 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. A determination will be
made at the time of issue about whether, for the purpose of the product governance rules under EU
Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product Governance Rules"), any Dealer subscribing for a
Tranche of Notes is a manufacturer in respect of that Tranche, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the
v





Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MiFID Product
Governance Rules.
Notification under Section 309B(1)(c) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289) of Singapore
(the SFA) - Unless otherwise stated in the Final Terms in respect of any Notes, all Notes issued or to be
issued under the Programme shall be prescribed capital markets products (as defined in the Securities
and Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018) and Excluded Investment Products (as
defined in MAS Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and MAS Notice FAA-
N16: Notice on Recommendations on Investment Products).
Benchmarks Regulation - Amounts payable under the Notes may be calculated by reference to
EURIBOR, LIBOR, LIBID, LIMEAN or CMS which are respectively provided by the European Money
Markets Institute ("EMMI") for EURIBOR and ICE Benchmark Administration Limited ("ICE") for
LIBOR and CMS. At the date of this Base Prospectus, both ICE and EMMI have been authorised as
regulated benchmark administrators pursuant to Article 34 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 (the
"Benchmarks Regulation") and appear on the public register of administrators established and
maintained by the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") pursuant to Article 36 of the
Benchmarks Regulation.

STABILISATION
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) (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, 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 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 be conducted by the relevant Stabilising
Manager(s) (or person(s) acting on behalf of any Stabilising 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.
The maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any one time under the Programme
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.
In this Base Prospectus, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires: references to
"Member State" are references to Member States of the European Economic Area, references to the
"UK" are references to the United Kingdom; references to"$", "U.S.$", "USD" and "US Dollars" are
to the lawful currency of the United States of America; references to "Euro" are to the single currency
introduced at the start of the third stage of the European Economic and Monetary Union pursuant to the
Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended; references to "£" "GBP" and "Pounds
Sterling" are to the lawful currency of the United Kingdom; and references to "Yen" are to the lawful
currency of Japan.
Tranches of Notes issued under the Programme will be rated or unrated. Where a Tranche of Notes is
rated, such rating will not necessarily be the same as the rating(s) described herein or the rating(s)
assigned to Notes already issued. Where a Tranche of Notes is rated, the applicable rating(s) will be
specified in the relevant Final Terms. Whether or not each credit rating applied for in relation to a
relevant Tranche of Notes will be (1) issued by a credit rating agency established in the EEA or in the UK

RISK FACTORS
Any investment in the Notes is subject to a number of risks. In purchasing Notes, investors assume the risk
that the relevant Issuer and the Guarantor (if applicable) may become insolvent or otherwise be unable to
make all payments due in respect of the Notes.
The Issuers have identified and described in this section a number of factors which could materially
adversely affect their businesses and ability to make payments due under the Notes. Most of these factors
are contingencies that may or may not occur. However, the inability of the relevant Issuer or the
Guarantor to pay interest or repay principal on the Notes may occur for other reasons which may not be
considered significant risks by the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor based on the information currently
available to them or which they may not currently be able to anticipate.
The risks that are specific to the Issuer are presented in 3 categories, and those specific to the Notes are
presented in 2 categories, in each case with the most material risk factor presented first in each category
and the remaining risk factors presented in an order which is not intended to be indicative either of the
likelihood that each risk will materialise or of the magnitude of its potential impact on the business,
financial condition and results of operations of the Issuers.
Prospective investors should also read the detailed information set out elsewhere and incorporated by
reference in this Base Prospectus and consider carefully whether an investment in the Notes is suitable
for them in the light of the information in this Base Prospectus and their personal circumstances, based
upon their own judgement and upon advice from such financial, legal and tax advisers as they have
deemed necessary, prior to making any investment decision.
Words and expressions defined in "Terms and Conditions of the English Law Notes" and "Terms and
Conditions of the Italian Law Notes" or elsewhere in this Base Prospectus have the same meaning in this
section. Prospective investors should read the whole of this Base Prospectus, including the information
incorporated by reference. Unless otherwise specified, the term "Terms and Conditions" shall refer to
both the Terms and Conditions of the English Law Notes and the Terms and Conditions of the Italian Law
Notes and any reference to a "Condition" shall be to both a Condition under the Terms and Conditions of
the English Law Notes and a Condition under the Terms and Conditions of the Italian.

MATERIAL RISKS THAT ARE SPECIFIC TO THE ISSUERS AND THAT MAY AFFECT
THE ISSUERS' ABILITY TO FULFIL THEIR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE NOTES
The risks below have been classified into the following categories:
(A)
Risks relating to the Issuers' activities and the market where the Issuers operate;
(B)
Risks relating to the Issuers' financial situation;
(C)
Risks relating to the legal and regulatory framework.
(A)
RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE ISSUERS' ACTIVITIES AND THE MARKET WHERE THE ISSUERS
AND THE GROUP OPERATE.
Systemic risks in connection with the economic/financial crisis and the Covid-19 Pandemic
The evolution of the macroeconomic scenario could negatively affect the economic and financial situation
of the Issuer and/or of the Mediobanca Group, and in particular its liquidity, profitability and capital
solidity, leading the Issuers and/or the Mediobanca Group to incur losses, increase the cost of financing
and reduce the value of assets held.
The Issuers' performance is also influenced by the general economic situation, both national and for the
Eurozone as a whole, and by the trend on financial markets, in particular by the solidity and growth
prospects of the geographical areas in which the Issuers operate. The macroeconomic scenario currently
reflects considerable areas of uncertainty, in relation to: (a) the trends in the real economy with reference
to the prospects of recovery and growth in the national economy and/or resilience of growth in the
economies of those countries, such as the United States and China, which have delivered growth, even
