The Notes will be senior obligations of the Issuer and will rank pari passu with all other indebtedness of the Issuer that is not subordinated to the

Issuer's obligations under Issuer Facilities Agreement, the Existing Issuer Notes and certain hedging liabilities) will be secured by pledges over (i)

capital of Schaeffler AG) held by the Issuer and (ii) 41,937,694 common shares in Continental AG held by the Issuer (representing 21.0% of the total
share capital of Continental AG), in each case as described in this Listing Memorandum (the "Collateral"). As of the Issue Date, the Notes will not be
guaranteed by any of the Issuer's subsidiaries and will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of any of the Issuer's
subsidiaries (in particular, Schaeffler AG and its subsidiaries). The Notes will be effectively subordinated to any existing and future indebtedness of
the Issuer that is secured by property or assets that do not secure the Notes, to the extent of the value of the property and assets securing such
indebtedness.
The restrictive covenants in the indenture that will govern the Notes (the "Indenture") will only apply to the Issuer and not to Schaeffler AG and its
subsidiaries or any future subsidiaries that are designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture). See "Risk Factors--Risks related
to the Notes and our Structure--Schaeffler AG and its subsidiaries will be Unrestricted Subsidiaries under the Indenture and will not be subject to the
restrictive covenants in the Indenture, will not guarantee the Notes and will not provide any Collateral."
All or part of the Collateral may be released or impaired without the consent of the holders under certain circumstances and are subject to
certain limitations.

Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market
assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes
is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels
for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any
person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into
consideration the manufacturers' 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 manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate
distribution channels.
The Notes are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or
resold except as permitted under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable securities laws of any other
jurisdiction pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom. Prospective purchasers should be
aware that they may be required to bear the financial risks of this investment for an indefinite period
of time. See "Transfer Restrictions."
IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERING OF NOTES, DEUTSCHE BANK AG, LONDON BRANCH, WITH
RESPECT TO THE EURO NOTES AND CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS LIMITED WITH RESPECT TO THE
DOLLAR NOTES (EACH A "STABILIZING MANAGER") (OR PERSONS ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE
STABILIZING MANAGER) MAY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OVER ALLOT

iii



NOTES OR EFFECT TRANSACTIONS WITH A VIEW TO STABILIZING OR MAINTAINING THE MARKET
PRICE OF THE NOTES AT A LEVEL HIGHER THAN THAT WHICH MIGHT OTHERWISE PREVAIL.
HOWEVER, THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT THE STABILIZING MANAGER WILL UNDERTAKE ANY
SUCH STABILIZATION ACTION. SUCH STABILIZATION ACTION, IF COMMENCED, MAY BEGIN ON OR
AFTER THE DATE OF ADEQUATE PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF THE FINAL TERMS OF THE OFFERING OF
THE NOTES AND MAY BE ENDED AT ANY TIME, BUT IT MUST END NO LATER THAN THE EARLIER OF
30 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH THE ISSUER RECEIVED THE PROCEEDS OF THE
ISSUE AND 60 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF ALLOTMENT OF THE NOTES.
Notice to U.S. Investors
Each purchaser of Notes will be deemed to have made the representations, warranties and
acknowledgements that are described in this Listing Memorandum under "Transfer Restrictions." The
Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of
any state of the United States and are subject to certain restrictions on transfer. Prospective
purchasers are hereby notified that the seller of the Notes may be relying on the exemption from the
provisions of Section 5 of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. For a description of certain
further restrictions on resale or transfer of the Notes, see "Transfer Restrictions." The Notes may not
be offered to the public within any jurisdiction. By accepting delivery of this Listing Memorandum,
you agree not to offer, sell, resell, transfer or deliver, directly or indirectly, any Note to the public.
We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment on the Notes on or about the
date specified on the cover page of this Listing Memorandum, which will be ten business days (as
such term is used for purposes of Rule 15c61 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act")) following the date of pricing of the Notes (this settlement cycle is
being referred to as "T+10"). Under Rule 15c61 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market
generally are required to settle in two business days unless the parties to any such trade expressly
agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on the date of this Listing
Memorandum or the next seven successive business days will be required to specify an alternative
settlement code at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes
who wish to make such trades should consult their own advisors. See "Plan of Distribution."
Notice to Canadian Investors
The Notes may be sold in Canada only to purchasers purchasing, or deemed to be purchasing, as
principal that are accredited investors, as defined in National Instrument 45106 Prospectus
Exemptions or subsection 73.3(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario), and are permitted clients, as
defined in National Instrument 31103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing
Registrant Obligations. Any resale of the Notes must be made in accordance with an exemption from,
or in a transaction not subject to, the prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws.
Securities legislation in certain provinces or territories of Canada may provide a purchaser with
remedies for rescission or damages if this Listing Memorandum (including any amendment thereto)
contains a misrepresentation, provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by
the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser's
province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities
legislation of the purchaser's province or territory for particulars of these rights or consult with a
legal advisor.
Pursuant to section 3A.3 of National Instrument 33105 Underwriting Conflicts ("NI 33105"), the
Initial Purchasers are not required to comply with the disclosure requirements of NI 33105 regarding
underwriter conflicts of interest in connection with the offering.

iv



Notice to Certain European Investors
European Economic Area. This Listing Memorandum has been prepared on the basis that any offering
of Notes in any member state of the European Economic Area (the "EEA") will be made pursuant to
an exemption under Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, the "Prospectus Directive") from the
requirement to publish a prospectus for offerings of notes. This Listing Memorandum is not a
prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Directive. No prospectus is required in accordance
with the Prospectus Directive for this issuance of Notes.
The Notes are not intended to be offered or sold to any retail investor in the EEA. For the purposes of
this provision the expression "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of the following
(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 2002/92/EC (as amended or
superseded, the "Insurance Mediation 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 Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended or superseded, the "Prospectus Directive").
PRIIPS Regulation. The Notes are not intended to be offered or sold to and should not be offered or
sold to any retail investor in the EEA. Consequently no key information document required by
Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the
Notes to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes to
any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation. Each subscriber for or
purchaser of the Notes in the Offering located within a member state of the EEA will be deemed to
have represented, acknowledged and agreed that it is not a retail investor. The Issuer, the Initial
Purchasers and their affiliates and others will rely upon the trust and accuracy of the foregoing
representation, acknowledgement and agreement.
MiFID II Product Governance / Professional investors and Eligible counterparties only target market.
Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market
assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes
is "eligible counterparties" and "professional clients" only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all
channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are
appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor")
should take into consideration the manufacturer's 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 manufacturer's target market assessment) and determining
appropriate distribution channels.
Austria. The Notes may be offered and sold in the Republic of Austria only in compliance with the
Austrian Capital Markets Act (Kapitalmarktgesetz) and other laws applicable in the Republic of
Austria governing the offer and sale of the Notes in the Republic of Austria. The Notes are not
registered or otherwise authorized for public offer in the Republic of Austria under the Austrian
Capital Markets Act or any other securities laws in the Republic of Austria and this Listing
Memorandum has not been and/or will not be published pursuant to the Austrian Capital Markets
Act. The Notes may only be marketed to investors in the Republic of Austria on the basis of, and in
accordance with, an exemption from the obligation to publish a prospectus pursuant to section 3 of
the Austrian Capital Markets Act. Accordingly, the Notes may not be, and are not being, offered or
advertised publicly and the Notes will only be available to, and this Listing Memorandum and any
other offering material in relation to the Notes is directed only at, persons to whom such offer or
disclosure may be lawfully made. Any resale of the Notes in Austria may only be made in accordance
with the Austrian Capital Markets Act and other applicable laws and in any case only on the basis of,
and in accordance with, an exemption from the obligation to publish a prospectus pursuant to
section 3 of the Austrian Capital Markets Act.

v



Germany. The Offering is not a public offering in the Federal Republic of Germany ("Germany"). The
Notes may only be offered, sold and acquired in accordance with the provisions of the German
Securities Prospectus Act (the "Securities Prospectus Act", Wertpapierprospektgesetz, WpPG), as
amended, the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 809/2004 of April 29, 2004 as amended,
Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 and any other laws applicable in Germany governing the issue,
offering and sale of securities. No application has been made under German law to permit a public
offer of the Notes in Germany. This Listing Memorandum has not been approved under the
Securities Prospectus Act or the Prospectus Directive for purposes of a public offer of the Notes and
accordingly the Notes may not be, and are not being, offered or advertised publicly or by public
promotion in Germany. Therefore, this Listing Memorandum is strictly for private use and the offer is
only being made to recipients to whom the document is personally addressed and does not
constitute an offer or advertisement to the public. The Notes will only be available to, and this Listing
Memorandum and any other offering material in relation to the Notes is directed only at, persons
who are qualified investors (qualifizierte Anleger) within the meaning of Section 2, No. 6 of the
Securities Prospectus Act or in circumstances where another exemption in accordance with Section
3(2) of the Securities Prospectus Act applies. Any resale of the Notes in Germany may only be made
in accordance with the Securities Prospectus Act and other applicable laws. The Company has not,
and does not intend to, file a securities prospectus with the German Federal Financial Supervisory
Authority ("BaFin", Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht) or obtain a notification to BaFin
from another competent authority of a member state of the European Economic Area, with which a
securities prospectus may have been filed, pursuant to Section 17(3) of the Securities Prospectus Act.
France. This Listing Memorandum has not been prepared in the context of a public offering in France
within the meaning of Article L. 4111 of the Code Monétaire et Financier and Title I of Book II of the
Règlement Général of the Autorité des marchés financiers (the "AMF") and therefore has not been
submitted for clearance to the AMF. Consequently, the Notes have not been and will not be, directly
or indirectly, offered or sold to the public in France, and neither this Listing Memorandum nor any
other offering material relating to the Notes has been or will be distributed or caused to be
distributed to the public in France. Such offers, sales and distribution of the Notes have been and will
only be made in France to (a) providers of investment services relating to portfolio management for

Forwardlooking Statements
This Listing Memorandum contains forwardlooking statements and other information that involves
risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The words "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "estimate,"
"expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "project," "should" and similar expressions are used to identify
forwardlooking statements. Forwardlooking statements are statements that are not historical facts;
they include statements about our beliefs and expectations and the assumptions underlying them.
These statements are based on plans, estimates and projections as they are currently available to our
management. Forwardlooking statements therefore speak only as of the date they are made, and
we undertake no obligation to update any of them in light of new information or future events.
By their very nature, forwardlooking statements involve risks and uncertainties. These statements
are based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward
looking statements. Actual results may differ from those set forth in the forwardlooking statements
as a result of various factors including, but not limited to:
market trends and technological developments, including trends toward electric mobility;
the performance of the global economy, political uncertainty and the performance of the
economy in the regions in which we operate;
cyclicality in our industry;
competition in our business environment;
our dependence on a limited number of customers for the sale of a substantial portion of our
products, the significant bargaining power of our major customers, and risks from any decline in
the creditworthiness of our customers;
risks arising from our efforts to expand in a number of growth markets;
risks relating to our ability to successfully integrate recent or future acquisitions;
our dependence on a limited number of key suppliers for certain critical components used in our
production and manufacturing processes, and our exposure to fluctuations in prices of raw
materials and energy;
our ability to maintain the high quality of our products and the punctual delivery of ordered
goods, and our ability to fight lower quality counterfeit products illegally sold under our brand
names;
our ability to obtain the adequate funding for our research, development and growth activities
and adequate insurance coverage for our operations;
our ability to retain qualified executives and key employees and to maintain positive relationships
with our employees and employee representatives;
changes in interest rates and changes in exchange rates;
various legal, regulatory and tax risks; and
other risks related to our financing, to our business operations and the markets in which we
operate.
Should one or more of such risks and uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those indicated in the applicable forward
looking statements. Any forwardlooking statement or information contained in this Listing
Memorandum speaks only as of the date the statement was made.
