BASE PROSPECTUS
BANQUE INTERNATIONALE À LUXEMBOURG, SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME
(Incorporated with limited liability in Luxembourg)
EUR 10,000,000,000
Programme for the issue of Euro Medium Term Notes and Warrants

On 9 November 1995, Banque Internationale à Luxembourg, société anonyme (the "Bank", "Issuer" or "BIL") entered into a U.S.$1,000,000,000
Programme for the issue of Euro Medium Term Notes and Warrants (the "Programme") and issued a Base Prospectus on that date describing the
Programme. The limit of the Programme was increased to U.S.$2,000,000,000 on 8 November 1996, to U.S.$5,000,000,000 on 16 December 1997, to
U.S.$8,000,000,000 on 21 February 2005 and to Euro 10,000,000,000 on 3 October 2005.
Any Notes or Warrants (as defined below) issued under the Programme on or after the date of this Base Prospectus are issued subject to the
provisions described herein save that any Notes or Warrants issued which are to be consolidated and form a single series with a previous issue of Notes or
Warrants shall be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to that previous issue of Notes or Warrants as set out in the prospectus applicable thereto.
Under the Programme, BIL, subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and directives, may from time to time issue medium term
Notes that rank as senior obligations of BIL (the "Senior Notes"), medium term Notes that rank as senior non preferred obligations of BIL (the "Senior Non
Preferred Notes"), medium term Notes that rank as subordinated obligations of BIL (the "Subordinated Notes" and, together with the Senior Notes and the
Senior Non Preferred Notes, the "Notes") and warrants or other similar instruments (the "Warrants"). The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding
will not at any time exceed Euro 10,000,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies).
Application has been made to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF") in its capacity as competent authority under the
Luxembourg Law dated 10 July 2005 on prospectuses for securities, as amended (the "Prospectus Act 2005") to approve this document as a base
prospectus. 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 7(7) of the Prospectus Act 2005. Application has also been made to the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange for Notes and Warrants issued under the Programme for the period of 12 months from the date of approval of this Base Prospectus to be listed on
the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the "Official List") and to be admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange (the "Regulated Market"). An application may be made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes and Warrants issued under the Programme
to be admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market and listed on the Official List. However, unlisted Notes and Warrants may be issued pursuant to the
Programme. The applicable Final Terms in respect of the issue of any Notes and the applicable Final Terms for the Warrants in respect of the issue of any
Warrants will specify whether or not such Notes or Warrants will be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on
the Regulated Market or the Euro MTF (or listed on any other stock exchange(s)).
References in this Base Prospectus to Notes or Warrants being listed (and all related references) shall mean that such Notes or Warrants 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 Euro MTF Market, however, is not a regulated market for the purposes of the afore-mentioned Directive 2014/65/EU.
The requirement to publish a prospectus under the Prospectus Directive only applies to Notes and Warrants which are to be admitted to trading on
a regulated market in the European Economic Area and/or offered to the public in the European Economic Area other than in circumstances where an
exemption is available under Article 3.2 of the Prospectus Directive (as implemented in the relevant Member State(s)). References in this Base Prospectus
to Exempt Notes and Exempt Warrants are to Notes and Warrants for which no prospectus is required to be published under the Prospectus Directive. The
CSSF has neither approved nor reviewed information contained in this Base Prospectus in connection with Exempt Notes or Exempt Warrants.
Each Tranche (as defined on page 67) 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" and together with the temporary Global Notes, the
"Global Notes"). Each Tranche of Warrants in bearer form will be represented on issue by a permanent global warrant in bearer form (each, a "permanent
Global Warrant" or "Global Warrant"). If the Global Notes are stated in the applicable Final Terms to be issued in new global note ("NGN") form, they will be
delivered on or prior to the original issue date of the relevant Tranche to a common safekeeper (the "Common Safekeeper") for Euroclear Bank SA/NV
("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"). Notes in registered form ("Registered Notes") will be represented by registered
certificates (each, a "Registered Note Certificate"), one Registered Note Certificate being issued in respect of each Noteholder's entire holding of Registered
Notes of one Series (as defined on page 67) of Notes. Registered Notes issued in global form will be represented by registered global certificates
("Registered Note Global Certificates"). If a Registered Note Global Certificate is held under the New Safekeeping Structure ("NSS") the Registered Note
Global Certificate will be delivered on or prior to the original issue date of the relevant Tranche to a Common Safekeeper for Euroclear and Clearstream,
Luxembourg.
Global Notes which are not issued in NGN form ("CGNs") and Registered Note Global Certificates which are not held under the NSS and Global
Warrants will be deposited on the issue date of the relevant Tranche with a common depositary on behalf of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg (the
"Common Depositary").
The provisions governing the exchange of interests in Global Notes for other Global Notes and definitive Notes are described in "Summary of
Provisions Relating to the Notes while in Global Form".
Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes or Warrants, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes or Warrants, the issue price of Notes or
Warrants and certain information which is applicable to each Tranche of Notes or Warrants will (other than in the case of Exempt Notes or Exempt Warrants,
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 or
Warrants to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange will also be published on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu) through
a regulatory information service. In the case of Exempt Notes or Exempt Warrants, notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes or Warrants, interest (if
any) payable in respect of Notes or Warrants, the issue price of Notes or Warrants and certain other information which is applicable to each Tranche will be
set out in a pricing supplement document (the "Pricing Supplement").

The date of this Base Prospectus is 28 June 2019
The Programme provides that Notes and Warrants may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or further stock
exchanges or markets as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer. The Issuer may also issue unlisted Notes or Warrants and/or Notes or
Warrants not admitted to trading on any market.
THE NOTES, THE WARRANTS AND THE SECURITIES (IF ANY) TO BE DELIVERED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE NOTES
AND THE WARRANTS, HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER
JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES. THE NOTES INCLUDE NOTES IN BEARER FORM THAT ARE SUBJECT TO
U.S. TAX LAW REQUIREMENTS.
NO NOTES OR INTERESTS THEREIN, MAY AT ANY TIME BE OFFERED, SOLD OR DELIVERED, DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, ANY U.S. PERSON (AS
DEFINED IN REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE
SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION (SEE "PLAN OF
DISTRIBUTION").
NO WARRANTS, OR INTERESTS THEREIN, MAY AT ANY TIME BE OFFERED, SOLD, RESOLD, TRANSFERRED,
PLEDGED, DELIVERED OR REDEEMED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, AT ANY TIME IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR
FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, ANY U.S. PERSON (AS DEFINED IN REGULATION S). FURTHERMORE, NEITHER
THE SALE OF NOR TRADING IN WARRANTS HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE UNITED STATES COMMODITY FUTURES
TRADING COMMISSION ("CFTC") UNDER THE UNITED STATES COMMODITY EXCHANGE ACT, AS AMENDED ("CEA"),
AND NO U.S. PERSON (AS DEFINED HEREIN) MAY AT ANY TIME PURCHASE, TRADE, EXERCISE OR MAINTAIN A
POSITION IN WARRANTS UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN THE APPLICABLE FINAL TERMS FOR THE WARRANTS.
FOR A DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON OFFERS AND SALES OF NOTES AND WARRANTS AND ON
THE DISTRIBUTION OF THIS BASE PROSPECTUS, SEE "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION".
The Issuer has been rated A- by Standard & Poor's Credit Market Services France S.A.S. ("Standard & Poor's"), A2 by Moody's Investors Service
Ltd. ("Moody's") and BBB+ by Fitch France S.A.S.("Fitch"). Each of S&P, Moody's and Fitch is established in the European Union and is registered under
Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 (as amended) (the "CRA Regulation"). As such each of S&P and Fitch is included in the list of credit rating agencies
published by the European Securities and Markets Authority on its website (at http://www.esma.europa.eu/page/List-registered-and-certified-CRAs) in
accordance with the CRA Regulation. Notes or Warrants issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated by any one or more of the rating agencies
referred to above. Issuers rated "A-" by Standard & Poor's are considered to have a strong capacity to meet financial commitments, but are somewhat
susceptible to adverse economic conditions and change in circumstances. Issuers rated "A2" by Moody's are considered to be subject to low credit risk.
Issuers rated "BBB" by Fitch are considered to have good credit quality. "BBB" ratings indicate that expectations of default risk are currently low. The
capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered adequate but adverse business or economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity.
The modifiers `+' or `-' may be appended to a rating to denote relative status within categories from `AA' to `B'.
Amounts payable on Floating Rate Notes will be calculated by reference to one of LIBOR or EURIBOR as specified in the applicable
Final Terms. As at the date of this Base Prospectus, ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, the administrator of LIBOR is included in ESMA's
register of administrators under Article 36 of the Regulation (EU) No. 2016/1011 (the "Benchmarks Regulation"). As at the date of this Base
Prospectus, the administrator of EURIBOR (the European Money Markets Institute) is not included in ESMA's register of administrators under
Article 36 of the Benchmarks Regulation. As far as the Issuer is aware, the transitional provisions in Article 51 of the Benchmarks Regulation
apply, such that the European Money Markets Institute is not currently required to obtain authorisation/registration (or, if located outside the
European Union, recognition, endorsement or equivalence).
As far as the Issuer is aware, the transitional provisions in Article 51 of the Benchmarks Regulation apply, such that European Money
Markets Institute is not currently required to obtain authorisation/registration (or, if located outside the European Union, recognition,
endorsement or equivalence).
A security 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.
Where a Tranche of Notes or Warrants are rated, such rating will be disclosed in the Final Terms (or Pricing Supplement, in the case of Exempt
Notes or Exempt Warrants) and will not necessarily be the same as the rating assigned to the Issuer by the relevant rating agency. 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.
Prospective investors should have regard to the factors described under the section headed "Risk Factors" in this Base Prospectus.

Responsibility Statement
The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in the Base Prospectus and the
Final Terms for each Tranche of Notes or Warrants issued under the Programme. To the best of the
knowledge of the Issuer (having taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case), the
information contained in this Base Prospectus is in accordance with the facts and does not omit
anything likely to affect the import of such information.
General
This Base Prospectus comprises a base prospectus in respect of all Notes and Warrants other
than Exempt Notes or Exempt Warrants issued under the Programme for the purposes of Article 5.4
of the Prospectus Directive. "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended or
superseded), and includes any relevant implementing measure in a relevant Member State of the
European Economic Area.
In this Base Prospectus, Exempt Notes and Exempt Warrants means an offering of such Notes
or Warrants where there is an exemption from the obligation under the Prospectus Directive to publish
a prospectus. Exempt Notes may include Dual Currency Notes, Partly Paid Notes or Notes
redeemable in one or more instalments.
This Base Prospectus is to be read in conjunction with all documents which are deemed to be
incorporated herein by reference (see "Documents Incorporated by Reference"). This Base
Prospectus shall be read and construed on the basis that such documents are incorporated and form
part of this Base Prospectus.
No person is or has been authorised by the Issuer to give any information or to make any
representation not contained or not consistent with this Base Prospectus or any other information
supplied in connection with the Programme or the Notes or Warrants and, if given or made, such
information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuer or any
of the Dealers or the Arranger (as defined in "Summary of the Programme").
Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus nor any sale made in connection herewith shall,
under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the
Issuer or the Issuer's consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole (the "BIL Group") since the date
hereof or the date upon which this Base Prospectus has been most recently supplemented or that
there has been no adverse change in the financial position of the Issuer or the BIL Group since the
date hereof or the date upon which this Base Prospectus has been most recently supplemented 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.
Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus nor the offering, sale or delivery of any Notes or
Warrants shall in any circumstances imply that the information contained herein concerning the Issuer
is correct 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 indicated in the
document containing the same. The Dealers expressly do not undertake to review the financial
condition or affairs of the Issuer during the life of the Programme or to advise any investor in the
Notes or Warrants of any information coming to their attention.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION RELATING TO THE USE OF THIS BASE PROSPECTUS AND
OFFERS OF NOTES AND WARRANTS GENERALLY
This Base Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy
any Notes or Warrants in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make the offer or
solicitation in such jurisdiction.
The distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offer or sale of Notes or Warrants may be
restricted by law in certain jurisdictions. The Issuer and the Dealers do not represent that this Base
Prospectus may be lawfully distributed, or that any Notes or Warrants may be lawfully offered, in
compliance with any applicable registration or other requirements in any such jurisdiction, or pursuant
to an exemption available thereunder, or assume any responsibility for facilitating any such
distribution or offering. In particular, unless specifically indicated to the contrary in the applicable Final
Terms, no action has been taken by the Issuer or the Dealers which is intended to permit a public
offering of any Notes or Warrants or distribution of this Base Prospectus in any jurisdiction where
action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, no Notes or Warrants may be offered or sold, directly

0013427-0003946 ICM:32639987.8
3

or indirectly, and neither this Base Prospectus nor any advertisement or other offering material may
be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in
compliance with any applicable laws and regulations. Persons into whose possession this Base
Prospectus or any Notes or Warrants may come must inform themselves about, and observe any
such restrictions on the distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offering and sale of Notes or
Warrants. In particular, there are restrictions on the distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offer
or sale of Notes or Warrants in the United States, the European Economic Area (including the United
Kingdom, Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands) and Japan, see "Plan of
Distribution".
The Notes, the Warrants and the securities (if any) to be delivered under the terms of the Notes
and the Warrants, have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction
of the United States. The Notes include Notes in bearer form that are subject to U.S. tax law
requirements.
No Notes, or interests therein, may at any time be offered, sold or delivered, directly or
indirectly, within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, any U.S. person (as defined
herein) except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and
in accordance with all applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other
jurisdiction (see "Plan of Distribution").
IMPORTANT EEA RETAIL INVESTORS - If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes or
Warrants (or Pricing Supplement, as the case may be) includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales
to EEA Retail Investors", the Notes or Warrants 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 ("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 2014/65/EU (as
amended, "MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC (as amended or
superseded, "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 the Prospectus Directive. Consequently no key information document required by
Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes
or Warrants or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and
therefore offering or selling the Notes or Warrants or otherwise making them available to any retail
investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPS Regulation.
MiFID II product governance / target market The Final Terms in respect of any Notes or
Warrants (or Pricing Supplement, in the case of Exempt Notes or Exempt Warrants) will include a
legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment made
by the relevant manufacturer(s) in respect of the Notes or Warrants and which channels for
distribution of the Notes or Warrants as appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or
recommending the Notes or the Warrants (a "distributor") should take into consideration the target
market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own
target market assessment in respect of the Notes or the Warrants (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
MiFID Product Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product
Governance Rules"), any Dealer subscribing for any Notes or Warrants is a manufacturer in respect
of such Notes or Warrants, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their
respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MiFID Product Governance Rules.
No Warrants, or interests therein, may at any time be offered, sold, resold, transferred,
pledged, delivered or redeemed, directly or indirectly, at any time in the United States or to, or for the
account or benefit of, any U.S. person (as defined herein). Furthermore, neither the sale of nor trading
in Warrants has been approved by the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission
("CFTC") under the United States Commodity Exchange Act, as amended ("CEA"), and no U.S.
person (as defined herein) may at any time purchase, trade, exercise or maintain a position in
Warrants unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms for the Warrants.
For a description of certain restrictions on offers and sales of Notes and Warrants and on the
distribution of this Base Prospectus, see "Plan of Distribution".

Neither this Base Prospectus nor any copy hereof may be sent, taken into or distributed in the
United States or to any U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S) or in any other jurisdiction where to
do so would be unlawful. This Base Prospectus may not be reproduced either in whole or in part,
without the written permission of the Issuer.
As used herein with respect to the Notes and ETF Linked Warrants, "U.S. person" means a
person that is a "U.S. person" as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act.
As used herein with respect to the Warrants (other than ETF Linked Warrants) , "U.S. person"
means a person that is any one or more of the following: (1) a "U.S. person" as defined in Regulation
S under the Securities Act, (2) a "U.S. person" as defined in the Interpretive Guidance and Policy
Statement Regarding Compliance with Certain Swap Regulations promulgated by the CFTC, as
amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, under the CEA, or (3) a person other than a
"Non-United States person" as defined in CFTC Rule 4.7.
Neither this Base Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection with the
Programme or the issue of any Notes or Warrants constitutes an offer or an invitation by or on behalf
of the Issuer or any the Dealers to any person to subscribe for, or purchase, any Notes or Warrants.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, none of the Dealers or any of their respective affiliates
(other than the Issuer in its capacity as Dealer) or the Arranger makes any representation or warranty,
express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in this Base
Prospectus or accepts any responsibility for the contents of this Base Prospectus or for any other
statement, made or purported to be made by the Arranger or a Dealer (other than the Issuer in its
capacity as Dealer) or on its behalf in connection with the Issuer or the issue and offering of the Notes
or the Warrants. Nothing contained in this Base Prospectus is, or should be relied upon as, a promise
or representation by the Arranger or a Dealer (other than the Issuer in its capacity as Dealer). The
Arranger and each Dealer (other than the Issuer in its capacity as Dealer) accordingly disclaims all
and any liability whether arising in tort or contract or otherwise (save as referred to above) which it
might otherwise have in respect of this Base Prospectus or any such statement.
Neither this Base Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection with the
Programme or any Notes or Warrants (a) is intended to provide the basis of any credit or other
evaluation or (b) should be considered as a recommendation by the Issuer or any of the Dealers that
any recipient of this Base Prospectus or any other information supplied in connection with the
Programme or any Notes or Warrants should purchase any Notes or Warrants. Each investor
contemplating purchasing the Notes or Warrants, as the case may be, should make its own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs, and its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness, of the Issuer.
None of the Dealers (other than the Issuer in its capacity as Dealer) or the Arranger undertakes
to review the financial condition or affairs of the Issuer or the BIL Group during the life of the
arrangements contemplated by this Base Prospectus nor to advise any investor or potential investor
in the Notes or Warrants of any information coming to the attention of any of the Dealers or the
Arranger.
Benchmarks Regulation: Interest and/or other amounts payable under the Notes may be
calculated by reference to certain reference rates. Any such reference rate may constitute a
benchmark for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 (the "Benchmark Regulation"). If any such
reference rate does constitute such a benchmark, the applicable Final Terms will indicate whether or
not the benchmark is provided by an administrator included in the register of administrators and
benchmarks established and maintained by the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA")
pursuant to Article 36 of the Benchmark Regulation. Transitional provisions in the Benchmark
Regulation may have the result that the administrator of a particular benchmark is not required to
appear in the register of administrators and benchmarks at the date of the Final Terms. The
registration status of any administrator under the Benchmark Regulation is a matter of public record
and, save where required by applicable law, the Issuer does not intend to update the Final Terms to
reflect any change in the registration status of the administrator.

STABILISATION
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes the Dealer or Dealers (if any)
named as the Stabilisation Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilisation
Manager(s)) may over-allot Notes, or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market
price of the 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 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 Notes, and 60 days after the date of the
allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must be
conducted by the relevant Stabilisation Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any
Stabilisation Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
Stabilisation activities are not permitted in respect of the Warrants.
In this Base Prospectus, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires,
references to "EUR" and "euro" are to the currency introduced pursuant to Article 109I(4) of the Treaty
establishing the European Community as amended by the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty
of Amsterdam and as further amended from time to time, to "GBP", "Pounds Sterling" and "Sterling"
are to the lawful currency of the United Kingdom and to "U.S.$", "USD" and "U.S. dollars" are to the
lawful currency of the United States.

SUMMARY OF THE PROGRAMME
Summaries are made up of disclosure requirements known as "Elements". These Elements are
numbered in sections A E (A.1 E.7). This Summary contains all the Elements required to be
included in a summary for the Notes or the Warrants and the Issuer. Because some Elements are not
required to be addressed, there may be gaps in the numbering sequence of the Elements. Even
though an Element may be required to be inserted in a summary because of the type of securities and
issuer, it is possible that no relevant information can be given regarding the Element. In this case a
short description of the Element should be included in the summary explaining why it is not
applicable.
Section A Introduction and warnings

Element

A.1
This summary should be read as an introduction to the Base Prospectus.
Any decision to invest in any Notes or Warrants should be based on a
consideration of this Base Prospectus as a whole, including any documents
incorporated by reference.
Where a claim relating to information contained in the Base Prospectus is
brought before a court in a Member State of the European Economic Area, the
plaintiff may, under the national legislation of the Member State where the claim
is brought, be required to bear the costs of translating the Base Prospectus
before the legal proceedings are initiated.
Civil liability attaches to the Issuer solely on the basis of this summary,
including any translation of it, but only if the summary is misleading, inaccurate
or inconsistent when read together with the other parts of this Base Prospectus
or, following the implementation of the relevant provisions of Directive
2010/73/EU (as amended or superseded) in the relevant Member State, it does
not provide, when read together with the other parts of this Base Prospectus,
key information in order to aid investors when considering whether to invest in
such Notes or Warrants.
A.2
Certain Tranches of Notes and Warrants with a denomination of less than 100,000
(or its equivalent in any other currency) may be offered in circumstances where there
