Responsibility Statement
The State accepts sole responsibility for the information contained in this Simplified Prospectus and confirms that to
the best of its knowledge the information contained herein is in accordance with the facts and that the Simplified
Prospectus makes no omission likely to affect its import.
The State has confirmed to the dealers set forth in the section "Summary of the Programme ­ Dealers" (each a "Dealer"
and together the "Dealers" which term shall include any further dealer appointed under the dealer agreement relating
to the Programme) that this Simplified Prospectus contains all information which is necessary to enable investors to
make an informed assessment of the rights attaching to the Instruments.
Notice
No person is or has been authorised by the State or any of the Dealers to give any information or to make any
representation which is not contained in or not consistent with this Simplified Prospectus or any other information
supplied in connection with the Programme and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be
relied upon as having been authorised by or on behalf of the State or any of the Dealers.
The State has confirmed that this Simplified Prospectus is true and accurate in all material respects and is not
misleading; that any opinions and intentions expressed herein are honestly held and based on reasonable assumptions;
that there are no other facts with respect to the State, the omission of which would make any statement, whether of fact
or opinion, in this Simplified Prospectus misleading in any material respect; and that all reasonable enquiries have
been made to ascertain all facts and to verify the accuracy of all statements contained herein.
Neither the delivery of this Simplified Prospectus nor any supplement or any Final Terms nor the issue, offer, sale or
delivery of any State Treasury Notes shall, in any circumstances, imply that the information contained in such
documents is accurate and complete at any time subsequent to the date hereof 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 Dealers expressly do not undertake to review the financial
condition or affairs of the State during the life of the Programme or to advise any investor in the State Treasury Notes
of any information coming to their attention. Investors should review, inter alia, the most recently published
supplements to this Simplified Prospectus when deciding whether or not to purchase any State Treasury Notes.
The State has undertaken with the Dealers that it will, (i) on or before the anniversary of the date of this Simplified
Prospectus, (ii) in the event of any significant new factor, material mistake or inaccuracy relating to the information
included in this Simplified Prospectus which is capable of affecting the assessment of any Bearer Notes or Collective
Debt Registered Claims (including, but not limited to, any amendment or modification of the Conditions of Borrowing
which would make the Simplified Prospectus inaccurate or misleading) and which arises between the time when the
Simplified Prospectus is approved and the time when trading of a relevant Tranche of Bearer Notes or Collective Debt
Registered Claims shall begin or (iii) in the event of any adverse change in the condition of the State which is material
in the context of any Borrowing under the Programme and which is not already reflected in this Simplified Prospectus,
prepare a supplement to this Simplified Prospectus or, as the case may be, publish a new simplified prospectus for use
in connection with any subsequent issue of any Borrowing under the Programme. Any such supplement shall be
approved by the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, in case such approval by the Luxembourg Stock Exchange is required.

the State (Federal State of Saxony-Anhalt, Ministry of Finance, Editharing 40, 39108 Magdeburg, Germany), (ii) the
specified offices of the Fiscal Agent (Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft, Taunusanlage 12, 60325 Frankfurt am Main,
Germany) and the Paying Agents for the time being in Germany (Federal State of Saxony-Anhalt, Ministry of Finance,
Referat 33 Geld- und Kapitalmarktgeschäfte, Editharing 40, 39108 Magdeburg, Germany) and Deutsche Bank
Aktiengesellschaft, Taunusanlage 12, 60325 Frankfurt, Germany, and (iii) the website of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange, being www.bourse.lu, where this Simplified Prospectus, any such supplement or new simplified prospectus
will also be viewable.
To the extent permitted by the laws of any relevant jurisdiction, neither Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft as Arranger

for the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in this Simplified Prospectus or any supplement or
amendment hereof nor for any information contained in any Final Terms (the "Final Terms").

The distribution of this Simplified Prospectus, any document incorporated herein by reference and any Final Terms
and the offering, sale and delivery of the State Treasury Notes in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons
into whose possession this Simplified Prospectus or any Final Terms come are required to inform themselves about
and to observe any such restriction (see the section entitled "Selling Restrictions"). In particular, the State Treasury
Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) and may
include Notes in bearer form which are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, Notes may
not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States of America or to U.S. persons.
The Final Terms in respect of any Instruments may include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which
will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Instruments and which channels for distribution of the
Instruments are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Instruments (a
"Distributor") should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a Distributor subject to Directive
2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II") is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of
the Instruments (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution
channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each 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 any
Instruments is a manufacturer in respect of such Instruments, but otherwise neither the State nor the Arranger nor the
other Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MIFID Product
Governance Rules.
Neither this Simplified Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection with the Programme or the
issue of any State Treasury Notes under the Programme constitutes an offer or invitation by or on behalf of the
State or any of the Dealers to any person to subscribe for or to purchase any State Treasury Notes.
Neither this Simplified Prospectus nor any Final Terms may be used by anyone for the purpose of an offer to
sell or the solicitation of an offer to subscribe for or to purchase any State Treasury Notes in any jurisdiction to
any person to whom it is unlawful to make the offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction.
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of State Treasury Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the
stabilising manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any stabilising manager(s)) in the relevant Final Terms
may over-allot State Treasury Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the
State Treasury 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 State Treasury 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 State
Treasury Notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of State Treasury Notes. Any
stabilisation action or over-allotment must be conducted by the relevant stabilising manager(s) (or persons
acting on behalf of any stabilising manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Simplified Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements. A forward-looking statement is a statement
that does not relate to historical facts and events. They are based on analyses or forecasts of future results and
estimates of amounts not yet determinable or foreseeable. These forward-looking statements are identified by the use
of terms and phrases such as "anticipate", "believe, "could", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "may", "plan", "predict",
"project", "will" and similar terms and phrases, including references and assumptions. This applies, in particular, to
statements in this Simplified Prospectus containing information on future State budget, the State's Medium-Term
Financial Plan, its funding, and general economic and regulatory conditions and other factors that affect it.
Forward-looking statements in this Simplified Prospectus are based on current estimates and assumptions that the State
makes to the best of its present knowledge. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and
other factors which could cause actual results, including the State's financial condition and its revenues and
expenditures to differ materially from and be worse than results that have expressly or implicitly been assumed or
described in these forward-looking statements. The State's economic performance is also subject to a number of risks

7



and uncertainties that could cause a forward-looking statement, estimate or prediction in this Simplified Prospectus to
become inaccurate. Accordingly, investors are strongly advised to read the section entitled "Federal State of Saxony-
Anhalt". This section includes a more detailed description of factors that might have an impact on the State's economic
performance, revenues and expenditures, and financial condition.
In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, future events described in this Simplified Prospectus may not
occur. In addition, neither the State nor the Dealers assume any obligation, except as required by law, to update any
forward-looking statement or to conform these forward-looking statements to actual events or developments.
