FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This 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 Prospectus
containing information on future earning capacity, plans and expectations regarding E.ON Group's
business and management, its growth and profitability, and general economic and regulatory conditions
and other factors that affect it.
Forward-looking statements in this Prospectus are based on current estimates and assumptions that
the Issuer 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 E.ON Group's financial
condition and results of operations, to differ materially from and be worse than results that have
expressly or implicitly been assumed or described in these forward-looking statements. E.ON Group's

6
business is also subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause a forward-looking
statement, estimate or prediction in this Prospectus to become inaccurate. Accordingly, investors are
strongly advised to read the following sections of this Prospectus: "Risk Factors", "E.ON SE as Issuer"
and such parts of the documents incorporated by reference into this Prospectus as set out under
"Documents incorporated by Reference" below. These sections include more detailed descriptions of
factors that might have an impact on E.ON Group's business and the markets in which it operates.
In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, future events described in this Prospectus may
not occur. In addition, neither the Issuer 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.
ESG RATINGS
The Issuer's exposure to Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") risks and the related
management arrangements established to mitigate those risks has been or may be assessed by several
agencies, among others, through Environmental, Social and Governance ratings ("ESG ratings").
ESG ratings may vary amongst ESG ratings agencies as the methodologies used to determine ESG
ratings may differ.
The Issuer's ESG ratings are not necessarily indicative of its current or future operating or financial
performance, or any future ability to service the Notes and are only current as of the dates on which they
were initial y issued. Prospective investors must determine for themselves the relevance of any such
ESG ratings information contained in this Prospectus or elsewhere in making an investment decision.
Furthermore, ESG ratings shal not be deemed to be a recommendation by the Issuer or any other
person to buy, sel or hold the Notes. Currently, the providers of such ESG ratings are not subject to any
regulatory or other similar oversight in respect of their determination and award of ESG ratings. For more
information regarding the assessment methodologies used to determine ESG ratings, please refer to
the relevant ratings agency's website (which website does not form a part of, nor is incorporated by
reference in, this Prospectus).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMME
I. General
Under this 35,000,000,000 Debt Issuance Programme, E.ON SE may from time to time issue the Notes
to one or more of the dealers listed on the cover page and any additional dealer appointed under the
Programme from time to time by the Issuer which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an
ongoing basis (together, the "Dealers").
Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft acts as arranger in respect of the Programme (the "Arranger").
Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. wil act as Luxembourg Listing Agent and Deutsche Bank
Aktiengesel schaft will act as fiscal agent (the "Fiscal Agent") and as paying agent (the "Paying Agent")
under the Programme.
The maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes from time to time outstanding under the
Programme wil not exceed 35,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency) (the "Programme
Amount"). The Issuer may increase the amount of the Programme in accordance with the terms of the
Dealer Agreement from time to time.
Notes may be distributed by way of offers to the public or private placements and, in each case, on a
syndicated or non-syndicated basis. The method of distribution of each tranche of Notes (the "Tranche")
will be stated in the applicable Final Terms. The Notes may be offered to qualified and non-qualified
investors, unless the applicable Final Terms include a legend entitled "PROHIBITION OF SALES TO
EEA RETAIL INVESTORS" and/or "PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK RETAIL INVESTORS".
Notes wil be issued in Tranches, each Tranche consisting of Notes which are identical in all respects.
One or more Tranches, which are expressed to be consolidated and forming a single series and identical
in al respects, but having different issue dates, interest commencement dates, issue prices and dates
for first interest payments may form a series ("Series") of Notes. Further Notes may be issued as part
of existing Series.
Notes wil be issued in such denominations as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant
Dealer(s) and as indicated in the applicable Final Terms save that the minimum denomination of the
Notes wil be, if in euro, 1,000, or, if in any currency other than euro, in an amount in such other currency
nearly equivalent to 1,000 at the time of the issue of Notes. Subject to any applicable legal or regulatory
restrictions, and requirements of relevant central banks, Notes may be issued in euro or any other
currency. Notes wil be issued with a maturity of twelve months or more. The Notes wil be freely
transferable.
Notes may be issued at an issue price of par or at a discount to, or premium over, par, as stated in the
applicable Final Terms. The issue price for Notes to be issued wil be determined at the time of pricing
on the basis of a yield which will be determined on the basis of the orders of the investors which are
received by the Dealers during the offer period. Orders will specify a minimum yield and may only be
confirmed at or above such yield. The resulting yield will be used to determine an issue price, al to
correspond to the yield.
The yield for Notes with fixed interest rates will be calculated by the use of the International Capital
Market Association ("ICMA") method, which determines the effective interest rate of notes taking into
account accrued interest on a daily basis.
The Risk Factors included in this Prospectus are limited to risks which are (i) specific to E.ON SE as
Issuer as well as the Notes, and (i ) are material for taking an informed investment decision. They are
presented in a limited number of categories depending on their nature. In each category the most
material risk factor is mentioned first.
Under this Prospectus a summary will only be drawn up in relation to an issue of Notes with a
denomination of less than 100,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies). Such an issue-specific
summary will be annexed to the applicable Final Terms.
Application has been made to list Notes on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to
trade Notes on the Regulated Market "Bourse de Luxembourg". Notes may further be issued under the
Programme which wil not be listed on any stock exchange.
Notes wil be accepted for clearing through one or more clearing systems (the "Clearing Systems") as
specified in the applicable Final Terms. These systems wil comprise those operated by Clearstream

9
Banking AG, Frankfurt am Main, Clearstream Banking S.A., Luxembourg and Euroclear Bank SA/NV.
Notes denominated in euro or, as the case may be, such other currency recognised from time to time
for the purposes of eligible collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy and intra-day credit operations by
the Eurosystem, are intended to be held in a manner, which would allow Eurosystem eligibility.
Therefore, these Notes will initially be deposited upon issue with in the case of (i) a new global note
either Clearstream Banking S.A., Luxembourg or Euroclear Bank SA/NV as common safekeeper or, (i )
a classical global note Clearstream Banking AG, Frankfurt am Main. It does not necessarily mean that
the Notes wil be recognised as eligible collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy and intra-day credit
operations by the Eurosystem either upon issue or at any or all times during their life. Such recognition
will depend upon satisfaction of the Eurosystem eligibility criteria.
II. Issue Procedures
