Under this U.S.$20,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "Programme"), Glencore Finance
(Europe) Limited and Glencore Capital Finance DAC may from time to time issue notes (the "Notes")
unconditionally (subject, in the case of Glencore (Schweiz) AG, to applicable Swiss law) and irrevocably
guaranteed by Glencore plc ("Glencore" or the "Company"), Glencore International AG and Glencore
(Schweiz) AG (each a "Guarantor" and together, the "Guarantors") and denominated in any currency agreed
between the relevant Issuer (as defined below), the Guarantors and the relevant Dealer (as defined below).
In this Base Prospectus, references to the "Issuer" are to either Glencore Finance (Europe) Limited or Glencore
Capital Finance DAC, as the case may be, as the issuer of Notes under the Programme as specified in the
relevant Final Terms (as defined below) and references to the "relevant Issuer" shall be construed accordingly.
The maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any one time under the Programme will not
exceed U.S.$20,000,000,000 (and for this purpose, any Notes denominated in another currency shall be
translated into U.S. dollars at the date of the agreement to issue such Notes (calculated in accordance with the
provisions of the Dealership Agreement (as defined under "Subscription and Sale")). The maximum aggregate
principal amount of Notes which may be outstanding at any one time under the Programme may be increased
from time to time, subject to compliance with the relevant provisions of the Dealership Agreement as defined
under "Subscription and Sale".
The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified under "General
Description of the Programme" and any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme from time to time
by the Issuers and each Guarantor (each a "Dealer" and together the "Dealers"), which appointment may be for
a specific issue or on an ongoing basis. References in this Base Prospectus to the "relevant Dealer" shall, in
relation to an issue of Notes being (or intended to be) subscribed by more than one Dealer, be to the lead
manager of such issue and, in relation to an issue of Notes subscribed by one Dealer, be to such Dealer.
Application has been made for Notes issued under the Programme for the period of 12 months after the
publication of this Base Prospectus to be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and
admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the "Luxembourg Stock
Exchange's Regulated Market"). References in the Base Prospectus to Notes being "listed" (and all related
references) shall mean that such Notes have been listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to
trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's Regulated Market. The Luxembourg Stock Exchange's
Regulated Market is a regulated market for the purposes of the Directive of the European Parliament and the
Council on markets in financial instruments 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"). The Programme also
permits Notes to be issued on the basis that they will not be admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation by any
listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system or to be admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation
by such other or further listing authorities as may be agreed with the relevant Issuer ("Exempt Notes"). The
Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF") has neither approved nor
reviewed information contained in this Base Prospectus in connection with any Exempt Notes. Notice of the
aggregate nominal amount of the Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the issue price of Notes
and any other terms and conditions which are applicable to each Tranche (as defined under "Terms and
Conditions of the Notes") of Notes will be set out in the applicable final terms (the "Final Terms") which, with
respect to the Notes to be admitted to listing on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to
trading on the Regulated Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, will be filed with the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange and the CSSF. In the case of any Notes which are to be admitted to trading on a regulated market
within the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom or offered to the public in a Member State of the
European Economic Area or the United Kingdom in circumstances which require the publication of a prospectus
under the Prospectus Regulation (as defined herein), the minimum specified denomination shall be 100,000
(or its equivalent in any other currency as at the date of issue of the Notes).

This Base Prospectus is valid for a period of twelve months from its date of approval and will expire on 24
August 2021. The obligation to supplement this Base Prospectus in the event of significant new factors, material
mistakes or material inaccuracies will not apply when this Base Prospectus is no longer valid.
This document is a base prospectus which comprises two base prospectuses (a base prospectus in respect of
Glencore Finance (Europe) Limited and a base prospectus in respect of Glencore Capital Finance DAC) for the
purposes of Article 8 of the Prospectus Regulation and for the purpose of giving information with regard to
each Issuer and each Guarantor, which, according to the particular nature of each Issuer and each Guarantor
and the Notes, is necessary to enable investors to make an informed assessment of the liabilities, financial
position, profit and losses and prospects of the relevant Issuer. References in this Base Prospectus to the
"Group" are to references to the Company and its subsidiaries and any subsidiary thereof from time to time.
The companies in which Glencore directly and indirectly has an interest are separate and distinct legal entities.
In this document, "Glencore" and "Group" is used for convenience only where references are made to Glencore
plc and its subsidiaries in general. These collective expressions are used for ease of reference only and do not
imply any other relationship between the companies. These expressions are also used where no useful purpose
is served by identifying the particular company or companies.
This document comprises a base prospectus in respect of each of Glencore Finance (Europe) Limited and
Glencore Capital Finance DAC and for that purpose, this whole document is referred to herein as the "Base
Prospectus". This Base Prospectus has been approved by the CSSF (which is the Luxembourg competent
authority for the purpose of the Prospectus Regulation) as a base prospectus issued in compliance with the
Prospectus Regulation for the purpose of giving information with regard to the issue of Notes issued under the
Programme described in this Base Prospectus during the period of twelve months after the date hereof. By
approving this Base Prospectus in accordance with Article 20 of the Prospectus Regulation, the CSSF does not
engage in respect of the economic or financial opportunity of the operation or the quality and solvency of the
Issuers in accordance with the provisions of article 6(4) of the Luxembourg Act dated 16 July 2019 (as amended)
relating to prospectuses for securities (loi relative aux prospectus pour valeurs mobilières). The CSSF only
approved this Base Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency
imposed by the Prospectus Regulation. Such approval should not be considered as an endorsement of the quality
of the securities that are subject of this Base Prospectus.
Prospective investors should have regard to the factors described under the section headed "Risk Factors" in
this Base Prospectus. Each prospective Noteholder must determine the suitability of that investment in light of
its own circumstances. In particular, each prospective Noteholder should:

have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the relevant Notes, the
merits and risks of investing in the relevant Notes and the information contained in, or incorporated by
reference into, this Base Prospectus or any applicable supplement;

have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its particular
financial situation, an investment in the relevant Notes and the impact the relevant Notes will have on
its overall investment portfolio;

have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the relevant
Notes, including where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the prospective
Noteholder's local currency;

understand thoroughly the terms of the relevant Notes and be familiar with the behaviour of any relevant
indices and financial markets; and

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.

The Programme is, as of the date of this Base Prospectus, rated:

Baa1 in respect of the Notes by Moody's Investors Service Ltd. ("Moody's"). Obligations rated Baa are
judged to be medium-grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain
speculative characteristics. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its
generic rating category (source: https://www.moodys.com/Pages/amr002002.aspx); and

BBB+ in respect of the Notes by S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited ("S&P"). An obligation rated
`BBB' exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to weaken the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the
obligation. The plus (+) sign shows relative standing within the rating categories (source:
https://www.standardandpoors.com/en_US/web/guest/article/-/view/sourceId/504352).
Moody's is established in the United Kingdom and is registered under Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 on credit
rating agencies, as amended (the "CRA Regulation"). S&P is established in the European Union and is
registered under the CRA Regulation. Notes issued under the Programme may also be rated by Fitch Ratings,
Inc. (or any of its affiliates) ("Fitch"). Fitch Ratings, Inc. is not established in the European Union or the United
Kingdom and has not applied for registration under the CRA Regulation, but ratings given by it are endorsed
by Fitch Ratings Ltd which is established in the United Kingdom and registered under the CRA Regulation.
The relevant Fitch entity which provides a rating in respect of the Notes is expected to be established in either
the European Union or the United Kingdom and registered under the CRA Regulation or, if the relevant entity
is not established in the European Union or the United Kingdom and if it has not applied for registration under
the CRA Regulation, will be endorsed by Fitch Ratings Ltd which is established in the United Kingdom and
registered under the CRA Regulation. Further information relating to the registration of rating agencies under
the CRA Regulation and a current list of registered credit rating agencies can be found on the website of the
European Securities and Markets Authority.
Tranches of Notes issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated. Where a Tranche of Notes is rated, the
applicable rating(s), which will not necessarily be the same as the rating applicable to the Programme, will be
specified in the relevant Final Terms. In general, European and United Kingdom regulated investors are
restricted from using a rating for regulatory purposes if such rating is not issued by a credit rating agency
established in the European Union or the United Kingdom and registered under the CRA Regulation.
A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision, suspension,
change or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.
Amounts payable under any floating rate notes ("Floating Rate Notes") may be calculated by reference to one
of LIBOR or EURIBOR (each as defined herein), as specified in the applicable Final Terms. As at the date of
this Prospectus, the European Money Markets Institute, the administrator of EURIBOR and IBA (ICE
Benchmark Administration Ltd), the administrator of LIBOR, appear on 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 (Regulation (EU) 2016/1011) (the "BMR").
This document should be read and construed together with any supplements hereto and with any other
documents incorporated by reference herein and, in relation to any Tranche of Notes, should be read and
construed together with the relevant Final Terms.

consistent with this Base Prospectus or any other document entered into in relation to the Programme or any
information supplied by any Issuer or any Guarantor or such other information as is in the public domain and,
if given or made, such information or representation should not be relied upon as having been authorised by
any of the Issuers, the Trustee, the Guarantors or the Dealers.
5

No representation or warranty is made or implied by the Dealers or any of their respective affiliates, and neither
the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates makes any representation or warranty or accepts any
responsibility as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in this Base Prospectus. Neither
the delivery of this Base Prospectus or any Final Terms nor the offering or delivery of any Note shall, in any
circumstances, create any implication that the information contained in this Base Prospectus is true subsequent
to the date hereof or the date upon which this Base Prospectus has been most recently amended or supplemented
or that there has been no adverse change, or any event reasonably likely to involve any adverse change, in the
condition (financial or otherwise) of any Issuer or any Guarantor since the date thereof or, if later, the date upon
which this Base Prospectus has been most recently amended or supplemented or that any other information
supplied in connection with the Programme is correct at any time subsequent to the date on which it is supplied
or, if different, the date indicated in the document containing the same.
MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE/TARGET MARKET  The Final Terms in respect of any Notes will
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; 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 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 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 MiFID Product
Governance Rules.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA AND 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
retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA") or 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; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (the "Insurance Distribution
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 Regulation. Consequently, no key
information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or
selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or in the UK has been
prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor
in the EEA or in the UK may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
An investment in any Notes issued by Glencore Capital Finance DAC does not have the status of a bank deposit
and is not within the scope of the deposit protection scheme operated by the Central Bank of Ireland. Glencore
Capital Finance DAC is not and will not be regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland arising from the issue of
any Notes.
SINGAPORE SFA PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION In connection with Section 309B of the Securities and
Futures Act (Chapter 289) of Singapore (the "SFA") and the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products)
Regulations 2018 of Singapore (the "CMP Regulations 2018"), unless otherwise specified before an offer of
Notes, the relevant Issuer has determined, and hereby notifies all relevant persons (as defined in Section
309A(1) of the SFA), that the Notes are `prescribed capital markets products' (as defined in the CMP
Regulations 2018) and Excluded Investment Products (as defined in MAS Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the
Sale of Investment Products and MAS Notice FAA-N16: Notice on Recommendations on Investment Products).

The distribution of this Base Prospectus and any Final Terms and the offering and delivery of the Notes in
certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Base Prospectus or any Final
Terms comes are required by the Issuers, any Guarantor and the Dealers to inform themselves about and to
observe any such restrictions. For a description of certain restrictions on offers and deliveries of Notes and on
the distribution of this Base Prospectus or any Final Terms and other offering material relating to the Notes, see
"Subscription and Sale". In particular, the Notes and the Guarantees of the Notes have not been and will not be
registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) (the "Securities Act") and are subject to
U.S. tax law requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes and the Guarantees of the Notes may not be
offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to U.S. persons (as defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder). Neither this Base Prospectus nor any Final Terms
constitutes an offer or an invitation to subscribe for any Notes and should not be considered as a
recommendation by the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Dealers or any of them that any recipient of
this Base Prospectus or any Final Terms should subscribe for any Notes. Each recipient of this Base Prospectus
or any Final Terms shall be taken to have made its own investigation and appraisal of the condition (financial
or otherwise) of the relevant Issuer and the Guarantors.
Any Issuer and the Guarantors may agree with any Dealer that Notes may be issued in a form not contemplated
by the Terms and Conditions of the Notes herein, in which event (in the case of Notes intended to be admitted
to listing on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to trading on the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange's Regulated Market) a supplement to this Base Prospectus, if appropriate, will be made available
which will describe the effect of the agreement reached in relation to such Notes.
In this Base Prospectus, unless otherwise specified, references to a "Member State" are references to a Member
State of the European Economic Area, references to "Prospectus Regulation" mean Regulation (EU) 2017/1129,
references to "U.S." and "United States" are to the United States of America, references to "U.S.$", "USD" and
"U.S. dollars" are to United States dollars, references to "EUR", "" or "Euro" are to the currency introduced
at the start of the third stage of European economic and monetary union, and as defined in Article 2 of Council
Regulation (EC) No 974/98 of 3 May 1998 on the introduction of the Euro, as amended, references to "pound
sterling" or "£" are to the lawful currency of the United Kingdom, references to "ZAR" are to South African
rand, references to "Swiss Francs" are to the lawful currency of Switzerland, references to "Australian dollars"
are to the lawful currency of Australia, references to "Canadian dollars" or "C$" are to the lawful currency of
Canada, references to "Colombian peso" are to the lawful currency of Colombia and references to "Kazakhstani
tenge" are to the lawful currency of Kazakhstan.
Certain figures included in this Base Prospectus have been subject to rounding adjustments; accordingly, figures
shown for the same category presented in different tables may vary slightly and figures shown as totals in certain
tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures which precede them.
This Base Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Notes in any Member State or the United
Kingdom will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to
publish a prospectus for offers of Notes. Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in that
Member State or the United Kingdom (as applicable) of Notes which are the subject of an offering contemplated
in this Base Prospectus as completed by Final Terms in relation to the offer of those Notes may only do so in
circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuers, the Guarantors or any Dealer to publish a prospectus
pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the
Prospectus Regulation, in each case, in relation to such offer. None of the Issuers, the Guarantors nor any Dealer
has authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of Notes in circumstances in which an obligation
arises for the Issuers, the Guarantors or any Dealer to publish or supplement a prospectus for such offer and the
relevant Issuer has consented in writing to its use for the purpose of such offer.
7

In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes, one or more relevant Dealers (in such capacity, the
"Stabilisation Manager(s)") (or any person 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 any person acting on behalf of any Stabilisation
Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES Certain alternative performance measures ("APMs") as
described in the ESMA Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (the "ESMA Guidelines") published
on 5 October 2015 by the ESMA and which came into force on 3 July 2016 are included or referred to in this
Prospectus. APMs are not defined or specified under the requirements of IFRS (as defined herein), but are
derived from the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Glencore considers that these measures
provide useful information to enhance the understanding of financial position and performance. The APMs
should be viewed as complementary to, rather than a substitute for, the information presented in the financial
statements. An explanation of each such APM's components and calculation method can be found at pages 228
to 234 (incorporated by reference herein) of Glencore's Annual Report 2019.
