Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 8.5 Year Non-Call Securities as described in "Terms and

The 6 Year Non-Call Conditions and the 8.5 Year Non-Call Conditions together shall be referred to as the
"Conditions", and any reference to a numbered "Condition" shall be to the relevant condition in the 6 Year
Non-Call Conditions and the 8.5 Year Non-Call Conditions, as applicable. Any reference to the "relevant

i

Securities" shall be to the 6 Year Non-Call Securities and the 8.5 Year Non-Call Securities, respectively and
any reference to the "relevant Coupons" shall be to the Coupons of the 6 Year Non-Call Securities and the
8.5 Year Non-Call Securities, respectively.
The Issuer may, at its sole discretion, elect to defer (in whole or in part) any payment of interest on the
relevant Securities, as more particularly described in Condition 5 (Optional Interest Deferral). Any amounts
so deferred, together with further interest accrued thereon (at the Prevailing Interest Rate applicable from
time to time), shall constitute Arrears of Interest (each capitalised term as defined in the Conditions). The
Issuer may pay outstanding Arrears of Interest, in whole or in part, at any time in accordance with the
Conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall pay any outstanding Arrears of Interest in whole,
but not in part, on the first occurring Mandatory Settlement Date following the Interest Payment Date on
which any outstanding Arrears of Interest was first deferred, all as more particularly described, and each
capitalised term as defined, in Condition 5.3 (Mandatory Settlement of Arrears of Interest).
The Securities are undated securities in respect of which there is no specific maturity date. The relevant
Securities will be redeemable (at the option of the Issuer) in whole, but not in part, on any date during the
Relevant Period (as defined in the Conditions) or upon any Interest Payment Date (as defined in the
Conditions) thereafter, at their principal amount together with any accrued and unpaid interest up to (but
excluding) the Redemption Date (as defined in the Conditions) and any outstanding Arrears of Interest. In
addition, upon the occurrence of a Capital Event, a Tax Event, a Withholding Tax Event, a Substantial
Purchase Event or an Accounting Event (each such term as defined in the Conditions), the relevant Securities
will be redeemable (at the option of the Issuer) in whole, but not in part, at the amount set out, and as more
particularly described, in Condition 6 (Redemption and Purchase).
The Securities constitute direct, unsecured and subordinated obligations of the Issuer and will at all times
rank pari passu and without any preference among themselves, all as more particularly described in
Condition 2 (Status and Subordination of the Securities and Coupons). In the event of an Issuer Winding-up
(as defined in the Conditions), the rights and claims of the holders of the relevant Securities against the
Issuer in respect of or arising under the relevant Securities and the relevant Coupons will rank (i) junior to
the claims of all holders of Senior Obligations of the Issuer (as defined in the Conditions), (ii) pari passu
with the claims of holders of all Parity Obligations of the Issuer (as defined in the Conditions) and (iii) senior
to the claims of holders of all Junior Obligations of the Issuer (as defined in the Conditions). The payment
obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee constitute direct, unsecured and subordinated obligations
of the Guarantor and will at all times rank pari passu and without any preference among themselves. In the
event of the Guarantor being declared in insolvency under the Spanish Insolvency Law (as defined below),
the rights and claims of holders of the relevant Securities against the Guarantor in respect of or arising under
the Guarantee will rank, as against the other obligations of the Guarantor, in the manner more particularly
described in Condition 3 (Guarantee, Status and Subordination of the Guarantee).
Payments in respect of the relevant Securities will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on
account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature of
The Netherlands or the Kingdom of Spain, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In the
event that any such withholding or deduction is made, additional amounts will be payable by the Issuer or, as
the case may be, the Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions as are more fully described in Condition 8
(Taxation).
This document constitutes a prospectus (the "Prospectus") for the purposes of Article 6 of Regulation (EU)
2017/1129 (as amended, the "Prospectus Regulation"). This Prospectus has been approved by the
Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF") as competent authority for the purposes of
the Prospectus Regulation and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980. The CSSF only approves
this Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed under
Luxembourg and EU law pursuant to the Prospectus Regulation. Such approval by the CSSF should not be
considered as an endorsement of the Issuer or the Guarantor that are the subject of this Prospectus nor as an
endorsement of the quality of the Securities. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability
of investing in the relevant Securities. The CSSF gives no undertaking as to the economic and financial
soundness of the transaction or the quality or solvency of the Issuer or the Guarantor in line with the
provisions of Article 6(4) of the Luxembourg Act dated 16 July 2019 relating to prospectuses for securities.

- ii -

Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the Securities to be listed on the official
list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to be admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's
regulated market (which is a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in
financial instruments (as amended, "MiFID II")).
The period of validity of this Prospectus shall be 12 months after the Prospectus has been approved (i.e.,
until 4 June 2021). For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor shall have any obligation
to supplement this Prospectus after the Securities have been admitted to trading.
The Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act") and are subject to United States tax law requirements. The Securities are being offered
outside the United States by the Joint Bookrunners (as defined in "Subscription and Sale") in accordance
with Regulation S under the Securities Act ("Regulation S"), and may not be offered, sold or delivered
within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption
from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
The relevant Securities will be in bearer form and each in the denomination of 100,000 and integral
multiples of 1,000 in excess thereof up to and including 199,000. The relevant Securities will initially be
represented by a temporary global security (each a "Temporary Global Security"), without interest
coupons or talons, which will be deposited with a common depositary on behalf of Euroclear Bank SA/NV
("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking, S.A. ("Clearstream, Luxembourg") on or about the Issue Date.
Interests in each Temporary Global Security will be exchangeable for interests in a permanent global
security (each a "Permanent Global Security" and together with each Temporary Global Security, the
"Global Securities") in the circumstances set out in each Temporary Global Security. Each Permanent
Global Security will be exchangeable for definitive Securities (the "Definitive Securities") in the
circumstances set out in the Permanent Global Security. See "Summary of Provisions relating to the
Securities in Global Form".
The Securities are expected to be rated BB+ by S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited ("S&P"), Ba1 by
Moody's Investors Service Ltd ("Moody's") and BB+ by Fitch Ratings España SAU ("Fitch Ratings").
Each of S&P, Moody's and Fitch Ratings is established in the European Union or the United Kingdom and
registered under Regulation (EU) No 1060/2009, as amended (the "CRA Regulation").
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.
The determination of the Prevailing Interest Rate in respect of the Securities is dependent upon the relevant
6-month Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") administered by the European Money Markets
Institute and the 5 year Swap Rate appearing on the Reuters Screen Page "ICESWAP2" provided by ICE
Benchmark Administration Limited.
As at the date of this Prospectus, each of the European Money Markets Institute and ICE Benchmark
Administration Limited is included in the register of administrators and benchmarks established and
maintained by the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") pursuant to Article 36 of
Regulation (EU) No 2016/1011 (the "Benchmarks Regulation").

and declares that, to the best of its knowledge, the information contained in this Prospectus is in accordance
with the facts and makes no omission likely to affect its import. Information appearing in this Prospectus is

The language of this Prospectus is English. Certain legislative references and technical terms have been cited

applicable law.
Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor has confirmed to the Joint Bookrunners named under "Subscription and

opinions, predictions or intentions expressed in this Prospectus on the part of the Issuer or (as the case may
be) the Guarantor are honestly held or made and are not misleading in any material respect; this Prospectus
does not omit to state any material fact necessary to make such information, opinions, predictions or
intentions (in such context) not misleading in any material respect; and all proper enquiries have been made
to ascertain and to verify the foregoing.
Neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor has authorised the making or provision of any representation or
information regarding the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Securities other than as contained in this Prospectus or
as approved for such purpose by the Issuer and the Guarantor. Any such representation or information should
not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Joint Bookrunners.
Neither the Joint Bookrunners nor any of their respective affiliates have authorised the whole or any part of
this Prospectus and none of them makes any representation or warranty or accepts any responsibility as to
the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in this Prospectus. Neither the delivery of this
Prospectus nor the offering, sale or delivery of any Security shall in any circumstances create any
implication that there has been no adverse change, or any event reasonably likely to involve any adverse
change, in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Issuer or the Guarantor since the date of this
Prospectus.
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of, or an invitation to subscribe for or purchase, any Securities.
The distribution of this Prospectus and the offering, sale and delivery of Securities in certain jurisdictions
may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus comes are required by the Issuer,
the Guarantor and the Joint Bookrunners to inform themselves about and to observe any such restrictions.
For a description of certain restrictions on offers, sales and deliveries of Securities and on distribution of this

- 2 -

As used in this Prospectus, "Repsol", "Repsol Group" and "Group" mean Repsol, S.A. together with its
consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, and the "Guarantor"
refers to Repsol, S.A. only.
The Securities are securities which, because of their nature, are normally bought and traded by a limited
number of investors who are particularly knowledgeable in investment matters, and may not be a suitable
investment for all investors. Each potential investor in the Securities must determine the suitability of that
investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should:
(i)
have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation, an investment in the Securities and the impact the Securities will have
on its overall investment portfolio;
(ii)
have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the
Securities, including where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the
potential investor's currency;
(iii)
understand thoroughly the terms of the Securities and be familiar with the behaviour of any relevant
indices and financial markets; and
(iv)
be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for
economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the
applicable risks.
Sophisticated institutional investors generally do not purchase complex financial instruments as stand-alone
investments. They purchase complex financial instruments as a way to reduce risk or enhance yield with an
understood, measured, appropriate addition of risk to their overall portfolios. A potential investor should not
invest in the Securities unless it has the knowledge and expertise (either alone or with a financial adviser) to
evaluate how the Securities will perform under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the
Securities, and the impact this investment will have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio.
Prior to making an investment decision, potential investors should consider carefully, in light of their own
financial circumstances and investment objectives, all the information contained in this Prospectus (as the
same may be supplemented) or incorporated by reference herein. Potential investors should not construe
anything in this Prospectus as legal, tax, business or financial advice. Each investor should consult with his
or her own advisers as to the legal, tax, business, financial and related aspects of a purchase of the Securities.
MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE TARGET MARKET
Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market
assessment in respect of the Securities has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the
Securities is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii)
all channels for distribution of the Securities to eligible counterparties and professional clients are
appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Securities (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 Securities (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment)
and determining appropriate distribution channels, subject to the distributor's suitability and
appropriateness obligations under MiFID II, as applicable.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA AND UK RETAIL INVESTORS
The Securities 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") or in the United Kingdom (the "UK"). 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 MiFID II; or (ii) a

- 3 -

customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU, where that customer would not qualify as a
professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently no key
information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs
Regulation") for offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to retail
investors in the EEA or in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Securities or
otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or in the UK may be unlawful
under the PRIIPs Regulation.
NO ACTIVE TRADING MARKET
The Securities are new securities which may not be widely distributed and for which there is currently no
active trading market. If the Securities are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount to
their initial offering price, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, general
economic conditions and the financial condition of the Issuer and the Guarantor. Although applications have
been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the Securities to be admitted to trading on the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market and to be listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange, there is no assurance that such applications will be accepted or that an active trading market will
develop. Accordingly, there is no assurance as to the development or liquidity of any trading market for the
Securities.
ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The financial data incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, in addition to the conventional financial
performance measures established by International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the
European Union ("IFRS-EU"), contains certain alternative performance measures (such as adjusted net
income, EBITDA, etc.) ("APMs") that are presented for the purposes of a better understanding of Repsol's
financial performance, cash flows and financial position, as these are used by Repsol when making
operational or strategic decisions for the Group. The relevant metrics are identified as APMs and
accompanied by an explanation of each such metric's components and calculation method in "Appendix I:
Alternative performance measures" to the "Consolidated Management Report 2019" and the "Consolidated
Management Report 2018", which are incorporated by reference in this Prospectus.
Such measures should not be considered as a substitute for those required by IFRS-EU.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Prospectus includes forward-looking statements that reflect the Group's intentions, beliefs or current
expectations and projections about the Group's future results of operations, financial condition, liquidity,
performance, prospects, anticipated growth, strategies, plans, opportunities, trends and the markets in which
the Group operates or intends to operate. Forward-looking statements involve all matters that are not
historical fact. These and other forward-looking statements can be identified by the words "may", "will",
"would", "should", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "project", "future", "potential", "believe",
"seek", "plan", "aim", "objective", "goal", "strategy", "target", "continue" and similar expressions or their
negatives. These forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding the Group's
present and future business and the environment in which the Group expects to operate in the future.
Forward-looking statements may be found in sections of this Prospectus entitled "Risk Factors" and
"Description of the Guarantor and the Group", in the consolidated management reports that are incorporated
by reference in this Prospectus (the "Consolidated Management Reports") and elsewhere in this
Prospectus.
These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions
and other factors that could cause the Group's actual results of operations, financial condition, liquidity,
performance, prospects, anticipated growth, strategies, plans or opportunities, as well as those of the markets
the Group serves or intends to serve, to differ materially from those expressed in, or suggested by, these
forward-looking statements.

- 4 -

Additional factors that could cause the Group's actual results, financial condition, liquidity, performance,
prospects, opportunities or achievements or industry results to differ include, but are not limited to, those
discussed under "Risk Factors".
In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events described in this Prospectus
may not occur. Additional risks that the Group may currently deem immaterial or that are not presently
known to the Group could also cause the forward-looking events discussed in this Prospectus not to occur.
Except as otherwise required by Dutch, Spanish, Luxembourg and other applicable securities laws and
regulations and by any applicable stock exchange regulations, the Group undertakes no obligation to update
publicly or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events, changed circumstances or any other reason after the date of this Prospectus. Given the uncertainty
inherent in forward-looking statements, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these statements.
HYDROCARBON AND GAS RESERVES CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
Hydrocarbon and gas reserves and resource estimates are expressions of engineering and economic analysis
and interpretation based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates that were valid when
originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available.
Additionally, by their very nature reserve and resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on
interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through
additional drilling and analysis, the estimates are likely to change. This may result in alterations to
development and production plans which may, in turn, adversely affect the Group's operations. See also
"Risk Factors--Risk Factors that May Affect the Issuer's and the Guarantor's Ability to Fulfil Their
Obligations under the Securities--Risks Related to Repsol's Business Activities and Industry--Risks related
to the Group's estimation of its oil and gas reserves".
