Euro Medium Term Note Programme
Due from One month from the date of original issue
Under the Euro Medium Term Note Programme described in this Base Prospectus (the Programme), Länsförsäkringar Bank AB (publ) (the Issuer or
the Bank), subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and directives, may from time to time issue Euro Medium Term Notes (the Notes).
Under the Programme, Notes may be (i) senior preferred notes with the ranking described in Condition 3(a) of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes
(the Senior Preferred Notes), (ii) senior non-preferred notes with the ranking described in Condition 3(b) of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes
(the Senior Non-Preferred Notes) or (iii) subordinated notes with the ranking described in Condition 3(c) of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes
(the Subordinated Notes). The aggregate nominal amount of Notes outstanding will not at any time exceed EUR 4,000,000,000 (or the equivalent in
other currencies).
An investment in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. For a discussion of some of these risks see "Risk Factors".
This Base Prospectus has been approved as a base prospectus by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the CSSF) as competent
authority under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the Prospectus Regulation). The CSSF only approves this Base Prospectus as meeting the standards
of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the Prospectus Regulation. Approval by the CSSF should not be considered as an
endorsement of the Issuer or of the quality of the Notes. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in the Notes.
The CSSF assumes no responsibility for the economic and financial soundness of the transactions contemplated by this Base Prospectus or the quality
or solvency of the Issuer in accordance with Article 6(4) of the Luxembourg Act dated 16 July 2019 on prospectuses for securities. Application has
been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the Notes to be listed on the official list and traded on the Regulated Market of the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange.
In relation to Notes which are admitted to trading on a regulated market in the European Economic Area (the EEA), this Base Prospectus (as
supplemented as at the relevant time, if applicable) is valid for a period of one year from the date hereof. The obligation to supplement this Base
Prospectus in the event of a significant new factor, material mistake or material inaccuracy does not apply when this Base Prospectus is no longer
valid and the validity of this Base Prospectus will expire on 30 March 2023.
References in this Base Prospectus to Notes being listed (and all related references) shall mean that such Notes have been admitted to trading on
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market and have been admitted to the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The Luxembourg
Stock Exchange's Regulated Market is a regulated market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2014/65/EU).
The requirement to publish a prospectus under the Prospectus Regulation only applies to Notes which are to be admitted to trading on a regulated
market in the EEA and/or offered to the public in the EEA other than in circumstances where an exemption is available under Article 1(4) and/or 3(2)
of the Prospectus Regulation. The requirement to publish a prospectus under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the FSMA) only applies
to Notes which are admitted to trading on a UK regulated market as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 on markets in financial instruments as it
forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EUWA) (UK MiFIR) and/or offered to the public in the United
Kingdom other than in circumstances where an exemption is available under section 86 of the FSMA.
References in this Base Prospectus to Exempt Notes are to Notes for which no prospectus is required to be published under the Prospectus Regulation
and the FSMA. The CSSF has neither approved nor reviewed information contained in this Base Prospectus in connection with Exempt Notes.
Each Series (as defined in "Overview of the Programme") of Notes in bearer form 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). Notes in registered form will be
represented by registered certificates (each a Certificate), one Certificate being issued in respect of each Noteholder's entire holding of Registered
Notes of one Series. Global Notes and Certificates may (or in the case of Notes listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange will) be deposited on the
issue date with a common depositary or, as the case may be, a common safekeeper on behalf of Euroclear Bank SA/NV (Euroclear) and Clearstream
Banking S.A. (Clearstream, Luxembourg). The provisions governing the exchange of interests in Global Notes for other Global Notes and definitive
Notes are described in "Overview of Provisions Relating to the Notes while in Global Form".
Tranches of Notes (as defined in "Overview of the Programme") may be rated or unrated. Where a Tranche of Notes is rated, such rating will be
specified in the relevant Final Terms (or Pricing Supplement, in the case of Exempt Notes). It is expected that the Senior Preferred Notes will be rated
A by S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited (S&P) and A1 by Moody's Investors Service (Nordics) AB (Moody's). A rating is not a recommendation to
buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. See "Overview of
the Programme" for the meanings of the ratings set out above. Both S&P and Moody's are established in the EEA and registered under Regulation
(EC) No. 1060/2009 (as amended) (the CRA Regulation). As such, each of S&P and Moody's is included in the list of credit rating agencies published
by the European Securities and Markets Authority on its website in accordance with the CRA Regulation. Neither S&P nor Moody's is established in
the United Kingdom and, accordingly, any ratings assigned to the Notes by Moody's and/or S&P will be endorsed by S&P Global Ratings UK Limited
and Moody's Investors Service Limited, respectively, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of
the EUWA (the UK CRA Regulation) for use in the United Kingdom. Each of S&P Global Ratings UK Limited and Moody's Investors Service Limited
is established in the United Kingdom and registered in accordance with the UK CRA Regulation.
Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the issue price of Notes and certain other information
which is applicable to each Tranche of Notes will (other than in the case of Exempt Notes, as defined above) be set out in a final terms document (the
Final Terms) which will be filed with the CSSF. Copies of Final Terms in relation to Notes to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange will also be
published on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu). In the case of Exempt Notes, notice of the aggregate nominal amount
of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the issue price of Notes and certain other information which is applicable to each Tranche will
be set out in a pricing supplement document (the Pricing Supplement).

merits and risks of investing in the Notes and the information contained or incorporated by
reference in this Base Prospectus or any applicable supplement;
(i )
has access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation, an investment in the Notes and the impact the Notes will have on
its overall investment portfolio;

has sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the
Notes, including Notes where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from
the potential investor's currency;
(iv)
understands thoroughly the terms of the Notes and is familiar with the behaviour of financial
markets; and
(v)
is able to evaluate possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may

investors are subject to investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain authorities.
Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what extent (1)
Notes are legal investments for it, (2) Notes can be used as collateral for various types of borrowing
and (3) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any Notes. Financial institutions should
consult their legal advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of Notes

or in the case of Exempt Notes, the Pricing Supplement, 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 the Notes (a distributor) should take into consideration the target market assessment;

market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment)
and determining appropriate distribution channels.
A determination wil be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID II
Product Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the MiFID II Product Governance
Rules), any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise
neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates wil be a manufacturer for the
purpose of the MiFID II Product Governance Rules.
UK MiFIR PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET The Final Terms in respect of any Notes,
or in the case of Exempt Notes, the Pricing Supplement, may include a legend entitled "UK MiFIR
Product Governance" which wil 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 the Notes (a distributor) should take into consideration the target market assessment;
however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance
Sourcebook (the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules) 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 in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the UK MiFIR
Product Governance Rules, any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such
Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a
manufacturer for the purpose of the UK MIFIR Product Governance Rules.

IMPORTANT EEA RETAIL INVESTORS
If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes (or Pricing Supplement, in the case of Exempt Notes) includes
a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA 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 (the EEA). 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
4

2014/65/EU (as amended, MiFID II); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97

as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii ) 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 has been prepared and
therefore offering or sel ing the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the

a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to 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

2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (i ) a customer within the meaning
of the provisions of the FSMA and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive
(EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of
Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or
(i i) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of
domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation
(EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the UK PRIIPs Regulation)
for offering or sel ing the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has
been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any
retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
