Issue Price: 100 per cent.
Demeter Investments B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) incorporated in the Netherlands, with
its corporate seat (statutaire zetel) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (the "Issuer") is offering its U.S.$750,000,000 Perpetual Fixed Spread Callable Notes (the
"Notes") secured by (i) a loan note issuance facility agreement dated 29 June 2017 (the "Facility Agreement") between the Issuer and Swiss Re Ltd (the "Loan
Notes Issuer"), (ii) certain principal and/or interest strips of direct obligations of the United States Treasury held by the Issuer from time to time (the "Demeter
Eligible Assets") and/or (iii) up to U.S.$750,000,000 Perpetual Subordinated Fixed Spread Callable Loan Notes of the Loan Notes Issuer held by the Issuer from
time to time (the "Loan Notes"). The Notes are secured, limited recourse obligations of the Issuer.
The Notes will bear interest from (and including) 6 July 2017 (the "Interest Commencement Date"), payable in arrear on each Interest Payment Date (as defined
in the "Conditions of the Notes"). From (and including) the Interest Commencement Date to (but excluding) 15 August 2022, the Notes will bear interest at a rate of
4.625 per cent. per annum and, thereafter, the Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of interest which is reset every five years and corresponds to the prevailing
yield for securities that are direct obligations of the United States Treasury, issued other than on a discount rate basis "U.S. Treasury Securities") at "constant
maturity" having a "designated maturity" of five years plus 2.764 per cent. per annum (which together is equal to the applicable Loan Notes Rate of Interest from
time to time (as described herein)), provided that interest will only be payable to the extent that a corresponding amount in aggregate is received by the Issuer in
respect of the Loan Notes, the Demeter Eligible Assets and/or the Facility Agreement, as applicable. Under certain circumstances such interest may be deferred,
as more particularly described in "Conditions of the Notes 7. Interest".
The Notes have no scheduled maturity date, but may be redeemable in the circumstances described in this series prospectus (the "Series Prospectus"). The
Notes will be issued in registered form with a minimum specified denomination of U.S.$200,000 or in integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof (the
"Specified Denomination").
The Notes are expected to be rated BBB+ by Standard & Poor's Credit Market Services Europe Limited. Standard & Poor's Credit Market Services Europe Limited
is established in the European Union and is registered under the EU Regulation on credit rating agencies (Regulation (EC) No.1060/2009), as amended.
The Issuer has established its Secured Note Programme (the "Programme") under which the Issuer may from time to time issue notes. Holders of the Notes will
not have access to the assets of the Issuer held in connection with any other notes issued pursuant to the Programme and similarly, holders of any other notes
issued pursuant to the Programme will not have access to the assets held in connection with the Notes described in this Series Prospectus.
This document is a Series Prospectus, prepared for the purposes of Article 5(1) of Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including Directive
2010/73/EC, the "Prospectus Directive"). This Series Prospectus contains information relating to the Notes issued by the Issuer. The Series Prospectus should
be read in conjunction with the base prospectus dated 17 February 2017 relating to the Programme of the Issuer which has been approved by the Central Bank

Ireland (the "Central Bank"), as competent authority under the Prospectus Directive. The Central Bank only approves this Series Prospectus as meeting the

admitted to the Official List and trading on its regulated market. There can be no assurance that any such listing will be obtained, or if obtained, will be maintained.
References in this Series Prospectus to Notes being "listed" (and all related references) shall mean that such Notes have been admitted to trading on the regulated
market of the Irish Stock Exchange and have been admitted to the Official List (the "Official List"). The regulated market of the Irish Stock Exchange is a regulated

regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. The Notes may not at any time be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the

The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Series Prospectus (which, for the

has been accurately reproduced as received and that, so far as it is aware and is able to ascertain from
the Third Party Information published, no facts have been omitted which would render the reproduced
Third Party Information inaccurate or misleading.
The Issuer has not conducted extensive due diligence on the Third Party Information, or made any
enquiries as to its own possession of non-publicly available information. The Issuer has only made very
limited enquiries in relation to the Third Party Information, and none of the Issuer, BNP Paribas, Citigroup
Global Markets Limited, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Credit Suisse Securities
(Europe) Limited ("Credit Suisse"), HSBC Bank plc, Lloyds Bank plc or UBS Limited (together the

and should make their own independent investigations and enquiries in respect of the same.
Subject to the above, the Issuer, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirms that this Series
Prospectus contains all information with respect to the Issuer and the Notes that is material in the context
of the issue and offering of the Notes, the statements contained in it relating to the Issuer are in every
material respect true and accurate and not misleading, the opinions and intentions expressed in this
Series Prospectus with regard to the Issuer are honestly held, have been reached after considering all
relevant circumstances and are based on reasonable assumptions, there are no other facts in relation to
the Issuer or the Notes the omission of which would, in the context of the issue and offering of the Notes,
make any statement in this Series Prospectus misleading in any material respect and all reasonable
enquiries have been made by the Issuer to ascertain such facts and to verify the accuracy of all such
information and statements.
No person has been authorised to give any information or to make any representation other than those
contained in this Series 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 or any Manager. Neither the Issuer nor any Manager is making an offer to sell the Notes in any
jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. Neither the delivery of this Series Prospectus nor any
sale of Notes made in connection therewith shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that
there has been no change in the affairs of the Issuer or the Loan Notes Issuer since the date of this
Series Prospectus or the date upon which this Series Prospectus has been most recently amended or
supplemented or that there has been no adverse change in the financial position of the Issuer or the
Loan Notes Issuer since the date of this Series Prospectus or the date upon which this Series
Prospectus has been most recently amended or 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

RISK FACTORS
The risk factors set out below should be read in addition to those set out in pages 19 to 67 of the Base
Prospectus and, in the event of any inconsistency, the risk factors set out below shall prevail. The risk
factors below should also be read in conjunction with the risk factors set out in the sub-section titled
"Risk Factors" in the Loan Notes Documentation included in the Appendix hereto.
Such risk factors are risk factors that are material to the Notes in order to assess the market risk
associated with them or which may affect the Issuer's ability to fulfil its obligations under them. Neither
the Issuer nor any Manager is in a position to express a view on the likelihood of any contingency
highlighted by a risk factor occurring.
For the purposes hereof, capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined herein will have the meaning
given to them in the Conditions of the Notes.
Risks Related to the Notes
Limitations on claims against the Issuer
The Notes are solely obligations of the Issuer and neither the Loan Notes Issuer nor the Eligible Assets
Obligor has any obligation to the Noteholders for payment of any amount due in respect of the Notes.
The Issuer is a special purpose vehicle established, inter alia, for the purpose of issuing the Notes. The
Notes and the other Secured Payment Obligations are limited in recourse to the Mortgaged Property
which includes, inter alia, the Issuer's rights in respect of the Facility Agreement, the Loan Notes
Collateral and the Demeter Eligible Assets. Other than the Mortgaged Property, there are no other assets
of the Issuer available to meet any outstanding claims of the Secured Creditors, including the
Noteholders.
Priority of claims
During the term of the Notes, following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event or an Enforcement Event,
the Loan Notes Issuer will first have the right to receive all Demeter Eligible Assets, Demeter Eligible
Asset Income (if any) and Demeter Facility Fees (if any) in exchange for the issuance of new Loan
Notes, in each case by reason of an Automatic Issuance Event. To the extent that there has been no
Loan Notes Bankruptcy Enforcement Event or Failure to Issue Residual Amount payable to the
Noteholders following a Failure to Issue, then no Demeter Eligible Assets (or any proceeds thereof),
Demeter Eligible Asset Income or Demeter Facility Fees will be available to any Secured Creditor (other
than the Loan Notes Issuer) upon a redemption (if any) of the Notes. Only after the Loan Notes Issuer
has taken all steps required to issue (or, in the case of a Failure to Issue, attempt to issue) such Loan
Notes and the transfer of the Demeter Eligible Assets, Demeter Eligible Asset Income (if any) and
Demeter Facility Fees (if any) (or proceeds thereof) has been settled will any Liquidation or enforcement
of the Security commence for the purposes of redeeming the Notes, and the rights of the Noteholders to
be paid amounts due under the Notes will thereafter be subordinated to (i) the payment or satisfaction of
all taxes owing by the Issuer, (ii) the fees, costs, charges, expenses and liabilities due and payable to the
Trustee including costs incurred in the enforcement of the Security (which may include, for example, the
fees of any receiver appointed by the Trustee in the case of an enforcement of the Security and, in all
instances, the Trustee's remuneration), (iii) the fees, costs, charges, expenses and liabilities due and
payable to the Enforcement Agent including costs incurred in the enforcement of the Security (which may
include, for example, the Enforcement Agent's remuneration), (iv) certain amounts owing to the Agents in
respect of reimbursement for sums paid by them in advance of receipt by them of the funds to make
such payment and (v) the fees of the Disposal Agent.
There is no assurance that the proceeds and/or assets available following (i) a Loan Notes Bankruptcy
Enforcement Event or the issue (or attempted issue) by the Loan Notes Issuer of Loan Notes following
6

an Automatic Issuance Event in exchange for the Demeter Eligible Assets (if any), Demeter Eligible
Asset Income (if any) and Demeter Facility Fees (if any) (or proceeds thereof) and (ii) payment of any
priority claims as set out above, will be sufficient to pay in full the amounts that the relevant Noteholders
would expect to receive or that such Noteholders will receive back the amount they originally invested.
The Notes have no scheduled maturity date. Noteholders may be required to bear the
financial risks of an investment in the Notes indefinitely
The Notes have no fixed date for repayment of principal. The Notes will become redeemable only under
the circumstances set out in Condition 8(b) (Redemption Following a Loan Notes Call), Condition 8(c)
(Redemption Following a Loan Notes Event), Condition 8(d) (Redemption for Taxation Reasons),
Condition 8(e) (Redemption Following an Illegality Event) and Condition 8(f) (Redemption Following the
Occurrence of an Event of Default). Noteholders only have limited enforcement remedies in the event of
non-payment of sums due under the Notes. As such, Noteholders should be aware that they may be
required to bear the financial risks of an investment in the Notes indefinitely. Refer to Condition 8
(Redemption and Purchase) and the risk factor contained in the Loan Notes Documentation entitled "The
Loan Notes have no scheduled maturity and Loan Noteholders do not have the right to call for
redemption or accelerate the Loan Notes. As such Loan Noteholders may be required to bear the
financial risks of an investment in the Loan Notes indefinitely" for more details.
Redemption of the Notes
The Notes may be redeemed upon the occurrence of any of a Loan Notes Call, a Loan Notes Event (a
Loan Notes Call and a Loan Notes Event being events relating to the Loan Notes and the Loan Notes
Issuer), a Tax Event, an Illegality Event or an Event of Default (a Tax Event, an Illegality Event and an
Event of Default being events relating to the Notes and/or the Issuer and/or amounts receivable by the
Issuer in respect of the Loan Notes and/or the Facility Agreement).
Following the occurrence of a Loan Notes Call, the Notes will become due and payable at an amount
equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate redemption amounts payable by the Loan Notes Issuer in
