MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET: PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS AND ECPS
ONLY
Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the
Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients
only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and
professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (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 Notes (by either adopting or
refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
UK MiFIR PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET: PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS AND ECPS
ONLY
Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the
Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is only eligible counterparties, as defined in the
FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook ("COBS"), and professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU)
No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("UK MiFIR");
and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any
Distributor should take into consideration the manufacturers' 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 manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
PRIIPS REGULATION / 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 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 MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive
(EU) 2016/97 (as amended, 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. 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 selling the
Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
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 UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more)
of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law
by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the
provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (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.
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 selling the Notes or otherwise making them
4

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.
Where acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed or undisclosed client when purchasing, or making or accepting an offer to
purchase, any Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) from the Issuer and/or the Joint Lead Managers the foregoing
representations, warranties, agreements and undertakings will be given by and be binding upon both the agent and its
underlying client.

"STABILISATION MANAGER") (OR ANY PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF ANY STABILISATION
MANAGER) 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

FINANCIAL DATA
Where financial data in tables in this Prospectus is labelled "audited", this means that it has been taken from the Issuer's
audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2020. The label "unaudited" is used
in tables in this Prospectus to indicate financial data that has not been taken from the Issuer's audited consolidated financial
statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2020, but was taken from the English-language translation of the
German-language interim condensed consolidated financial statements of EnBW AG for the six-month period ended
30 June 2021 or the Issuer's internal reporting system, or has been calculated based on financial data from the above-
mentioned sources.
5

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Certain terms used in this Prospectus and financial measures presented in the documents incorporated by reference are
not recognised financial measures under International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union
("IFRS") ("Alternative Performance Measures") and may therefore not be considered as an alternative to the financial
measures defined in the accounting standards in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Issuer
has provided these Alternative Performance Measures because it believes they provide investors with additional
information to assess the operating performance and financial standing of EnBW's business activities. The definition of
the Alternative Performance Measures may vary from the definition of identically named alternative performance
measures used by other companies. The Alternative Performance Measures for EnBW presented by the Issuer should not
be considered as an alternative to measures of operating performance or financial standing derived in accordance with
IFRS. These Alternative Performance Measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in
isolation or as substitutes for the analysis of the consolidated results or liabilities as reported under IFRS.
For further information, please refer to "Description of the Issuer and the Group - Alternative Performance Measures
(APM)".
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 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 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.
The Group's 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
section "Description of the Issuer and the Group" of this Prospectus. This section includes more detailed descriptions of
factors that might have an impact on the 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 Joint Lead Managers 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.
GREEN FINANCING FRAMEWORK
It will be the Issuer's intention to apply an amount equivalent to the net proceeds from the offer of the NC2028 Notes to
finance Eligible Green Projects (as defined below). The Issuer has established a framework for such issuances (the "Green
Financing Framework") which further specifies the eligibility criteria for such Eligible Green Projects. None of the Joint
Lead Managers, any of their affiliates or any other person mentioned in this Prospectus makes any representation as to
the suitability of the NC2028 Notes to fulfil environmental, social and/or sustainability criteria required by any
prospective investors. The Joint Lead Managers have not undertaken, nor are they responsible for, any assessment of the
Green Financing Framework or the Eligible Green Projects, any verification of whether the Eligible Green Projects meet
the criteria set out in the Green Financing Framework or the monitoring of the use of proceeds.
6

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 assessed by several agencies, including CDP, Sustainalytics, ISS ESG and
MSCI, among others, through Environmental, Social and Governance ratings ("ESG ratings"). Please refer to the section
"Description of the Issuer and the Group Sustainability ratings" for further information.
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 initially 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 shall not be deemed to be a recommendation
by the Issuer, the Joint Lead Managers or any other person to buy, sell 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).

RISK FACTORS
Before deciding to purchase the Notes, investors should carefully review and consider the following risk factors and the
other information contained in this Prospectus. Should one or more of the risks described below materialise, this may
have a material adverse effect on the business, prospects, shareholders' equity, assets, financial position and results of
operations (Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage) or general affairs of the Issuer or the EnBW Group. Moreover, if any
of these risks occur, the market value of the Notes and the likelihood that the Issuer will be in a position to fulfil its
payment obligations under the Notes may decrease, in which case the holders of the Notes (the "Holders") could lose all
or part of their investments. Factors which the Issuer believes may be material for the purpose of assessing the market
risks associated with the Notes are also described below.
The Issuer believes that the factors described below represent the principal risks inherent in investing in the Notes, but
the Issuer may be unable to pay interest, principal or other amounts on or in connection with the Notes for other unknown
reasons than those described below. Additional risks of which the Issuer is not presently aware could also affect the
business operations of the Issuer or the EnBW Group and have a material adverse effect on their business activities,
financial condition and results of operations. Prospective investors should read the detailed information set out elsewhere
in this Prospectus (including any documents incorporated by reference herein) and reach their own views prior to making
any investment decision.
The following risk factors are organised in categories depending on their respective nature. In each category the most
material risk factors, based on the probability of their occurrence and the expected magnitude of their negative impact,
are mentioned first.
Words and expressions defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes below shall have the same meanings in this
section.
Risk factors relating to EnBW AG and EnBW Group
The following is a description of the risk factors, which may affect the ability of the Issuer to fulfil its obligations under
the Notes.
The risk factors in this section are categorised as follows:
·
Financial Risks
·
Market Risks
·
Operational Risks
·
Regulatory / Political Risks
·
Environmental / Social / Governance Risks
Financial Risks
Risk related to Changes in Interest Rates
Key factors influencing the present value of nuclear power and pension provisions are interest and inflation rates.
There is a general risk due to any change in the discount rate applied to the pension provisions because the present value
of the pension provisions falls when the discount rate increases and increases when the discount rate falls. On the reporting
date for the annual financial statements of EnBW Group in 2020, the discount rate stood at 0.75% in comparison to the
previous year (1.1%). At the reporting date of 30 June 2021, the discount rate was 1.15%.
The future development of interest rates could have a negative impact on net debt and thus an impact on the key
performance indicator debt repayment potential.
9

Risk related to Market Prices of Financial Investments
The financial investments managed through the asset management system are subject to risks that arise from price losses
and other losses in value as a result of the volatile financial market environment. There was a sharp fall on the stock
market at the beginning of 2020 due to the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 first identified in December 2019 and its associated
disease ("COVID-19"), which was followed by a significant recovery in the second half of the year and an all-time high
in the first half of 2021. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the market situation must still be closely monitored.
To improve the risk ratio of the portfolio, greater focus is currently being given to more sustainable investments. This
could have a negative impact on net debt and thus an impact on the key performance indicator debt repayment potential.
Margins and Liquidity Risk
Due to unforeseeable liquidity developments, especially margin payments, the EnBW Group's liquidity planning is subject
to uncertainty that could lead to deviations between actual payments and planned payments. Margin and liquidity outflows
are actively monitored and controlled. The high volatility on the commodity markets resulted in high margin requirements
in 2020. Higher prices for electricity and CO2 allowances and increasing volatility on the commodity markets have
resulted in higher margin requirements. The further utilisation of liquidity cannot be excluded in this context. Potential
outflows, such as those resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, are estimated using stress scenarios for different time
periods.
As part of a liquidity management project, the processes and funds required at short notice have been further optimised.
The risk can be covered by existing credit lines.
In general, there is also a risk of additional liquidity requirements if the rating agencies downgrade the credit rating of
EnBW. This effect could have a negative impact on net debt and thus an impact on the key performance indicator debt
repayment potential, as well as an indirect impact on the key performance indicator Return on Capital Employed
("ROCE") via capital employed.
Depending on market developments and the framework conditions related to the change to renewable energies, EnBW
also identifies a general risk of a negative impact on earnings due to impairment losses on power plants and impending
losses for onerous contracts for electricity procurement agreements.
Hedging Risk
When selling generated electricity volumes, EnBW is exposed to the risk of falling electricity prices and the risk of an
unfavorable development of fuel prices in relation to electricity prices. The hedging instruments utilised in 2020 were
forwards, futures and swaps. The EnBW Group has exposure to foreign exchange risks from procurement and the hedging
of prices for its fuel requirements, as well as from gas and oil trading business. This could have a negative effect on the
key performance indicator adjusted EBITDA and thus an indirect impact on the key performance indicator debt repayment
potential via the retained cash flow and on the key performance indicator ROCE via the adjusted EBIT.
Market Risks
Competition Risk in the Energy Markets
There is a risk that the continued tense competitive situation for all EnBW brands in the electricity, gas and energy
solutions business could have a negative effect on the customer base, sales volumes and price levels. The willingness of
customers to switch suppliers and the pressure on prices remain high. This could result in a negative effect on earnings.
Risks arising from economic development
Forecasts of future economic development and the related demand for energy are essential components of EnBW's
projection of unit sales of electricity and gas. Any significant negative deviation between actual and projected economic
development exposes EnBW to numerous risks. A decline in industrial production may result in lower demand for
electricity and gas and thus lower levels of demand from EnBW customers. A decline in sales volume also results in
reduced transmissions via EnBW's grids and a decline in network revenues. Additionally, quantities already purchased
