equivalent in other currencies subject to increase as described herein). The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified under
"Overview of the Programme" or any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme from time to time by the Issuer (each a "Dealer" and together the
"Dealers"), which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis. References in this Offering Circular to the "relevant Dealer" shall, in the case of
an issue of Notes being (or intended to be) subscribed for by more than one Dealer, be to all Dealers agreeing to subscribe for such Notes.
An application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the "LuxSE") in its capacity as competent authority under Part IV of the Luxembourg Law dated
July 10, 2005 on prospectus for securities, as amended (the "Luxembourg Prospectus Law") and the rules and regulations of the LuxSE (the "LuxSE Rules") to
approve this document as a prospectus. An application has also been made for the Notes to be admitted to trading on the Euro MTF market, which is a market
operated by the LuxSE, and listed on the Official List of the LuxSE (the "Official List"). The Euro MTF market is not a regulated market pursuant to the provisions
of the Directive 2004/39/EC. This Offering Circular comprises information about the Issuer and the Notes for the purposes of Part 2 of the LuxSE Rules. The
relevant Pricing Supplement (the "Pricing Supplement") in respect of the issue of any Notes will specify whether or not such Notes will be listed on the LuxSE or
any other stock exchange. This Offering Circular constitutes a base prospectus, and a Pricing Supplement will constitute final terms, for the purpose of the
Luxembourg Prospectus Law.
This document does not constitute a prospectus for the purposes of article 3 of Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended (the "Prospectus Directive"). The Issuer has
prepared this Offering Circular solely for the use in connection with the listing of Notes issued under the Programme on the Euro MTF market. If any Green Bonds
(as defined herein) are to be issued under the Programme and listed on the LuxSE, the Issuer may also apply for such Notes be listed on the Luxembourg Green
Exchange ("LGX"). This Offering Circular only be used for the purposes for which it has been published. The Notes may not be offered to the public or indirectly to
the public unless the requirements of the Luxembourg Prospectus Law have been satisfied. Any person making or intending to make any offer of the Notes in any
Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive may only do so in circumstances in which no obligations arises for
the Issuer to prepare a prospectus pursuant to article 3 of the Prospectus Directive. The Issuer has not authorised, nor does the Issuer authorise, the making of any
offer of the Notes in circumstances in which an obligation arises for it to publish a prospectus for such offer in any jurisdiction.
The Notes of each Series issued in bearer form ("Bearer Notes") will be represented on issue by a temporary global note in bearer form (each a "Temporary Global
Note") or a permanent global note in bearer form (each a "Permanent Global Note") (collectively, the "Global Notes"). Notes in registered form ("Registered
Notes") will be represented by registered certificates (each a "Certificate"), one Certificate being issued in respect of each Noteholder's entire holding of Notes in
registered form of one Series. Certificates representing Registered Notes that are held in one or more clearing systems are referred to as global certificates ("Global
Certificates"). Global Notes and Global Certificates may be deposited on the relevant issue date with a common depositary on behalf of Euroclear Bank SA/NV
("Euroclear") and/or Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"), and, provided a CMU Lodging and Paying Agent is appointed, Global Certificates
may be registered with a sub-custodian for the Central Moneymarkets Unit Service (the "CMU Service") operated by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (the
"HKMA"). Interests in a Temporary Global Note will be exchangeable, in whole or in part, for interests in 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, upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or with any securities
regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States, and the Notes may include Bearer Notes that are subject to U.S. tax law requirements.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes may not be offered, sold, or, in the case of Bearer Notes, delivered within the United States or to, or for the account or
benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder). Registered Notes are subject to certain
restrictions on transfer, see "Subscription and Sale".
The Programme has been assigned ratings of "(P) A1 long-term" and "(P) P-1 short-term" by Moody's Investors Service Hong Kong Ltd. ("Moody's"). These
ratings are only correct as at the date of this Offering Circular. Tranches of Notes to be issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated. Where a Tranche of
Notes is to be rated, such rating will be disclosed in the Pricing Supplement and will not necessarily be the same as the ratings assigned to the Programme. Moody's
is not established in the European Union nor registered under Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 (as amended) on credit rating agencies. A rating is not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction, revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.

experience in financial and business matters to evaluate the information contained in this Offering Circular and in the applicable Pricing Supplement and the merits
and risks of investing in a particular issue of Notes in the context of their financial position and particular circumstances. Investors also should have the financial

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS ­ The Notes are not intended, from 1 January
2018, to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and, with effect from such date, should not be
offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail

iii



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 ("MiFID II"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC ("IMD"),
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 Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, the "Prospectus
Directive"). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the
"PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors
in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available
to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
