On the Initial Issue Date, The Brussels Airport Company NV/SA (TBAC) will be merged into Brussels Airport Holding NV/SA (BAH) (the Permitted
Merger) and BAH will (i) automatically acquire all assets, liabilities, rights and obligations of TBAC and (ii) be renamed Brussels Airport Company NV/SA
(BAC). BAH, and consequently BAC following the Permitted Merger, will be the issuer of the Bonds (as defined below) (the Issuer). BAH has established a
multicurrency programme for the issuance by the Issuer of bonds (the Bonds) from time to time on and after the Initial Issue Date, denominated in any
currency agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer (as defined below) (the Programme). The aggregate nominal amount of Bonds outstanding will
not at any time exceed EUR 5,000,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies). Distributienet ­ Beheer Brussels Airport NV (DNB) and (prior to the
Permitted Merger (defined above)) TBAC will guarantee the obligations of the Obligors (defined below) under the Finance Documents (including the
obligations of the Issuer under the Bonds) in accordance with the terms of the Security Trust and Intercreditor Deed (defined below).
This offering circular (the Offering Circular) includes information on the terms of the Bonds, including security, covenants and transfer restrictions. This
Offering Circular constitutes a base prospectus for the purpose of the Luxembourg Act dated 10 July 2005 relating to prospectuses for securities, as amended
(the Prospectus Act 2005). Application has been made to list the Bonds issued under the Programme on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to admit them
to trading on the Euro MTF market on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the Euro MTF Market). Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange in its capacity as competent authority (the Competent Authority) under Part IV of the Prospectus Act 2005 for the approval of this Offering
Circular as a base prospectus and application may be made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Bonds issued under the Programme to be listed on the Euro
MTF Market operated by the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the Euro MTF Market is not a regulated market pursuant to the provisions of Directive
2004/39/EC (the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive) but is subject to the supervision of the financial sector and exchange regulator, the
Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF)) and listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the Official List), during the
period of twelve months from the date hereof. References in this Offering Circular to Bonds being "listed" (and all related references) shall mean that such
Bonds have been admitted to the Official List and admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market. The Euro MTF Market is not a regulated market pursuant to
the provisions of Directive 2004/39/EC.
The Bonds may be issued, on a continuing basis, to one or more of the Dealers specified under "Parties and Some Characteristics of the Programme" and any
additional Dealer appointed under the Programme from time to time by the Issuer, which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis.
References in this Offering Circular to the relevant Dealer shall, in the case of an issue of Bonds being (or intended to be) subscribed by more than one
Dealer or in respect of which subscriptions will be procured by more than one Dealer, be to all Dealers agreeing to subscribe for such Bonds or to procure
subscriptions for such Bonds, as the case may be.
Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Bonds, interest (if any) payable in respect of Bonds, the issue price of Bonds and any other terms and conditions
not contained herein which are applicable to each Series (as defined herein) of Bonds will be set out in a final terms document (the Final Terms) which, with
respect to Bonds to be traded on the Euro MTF Market, will be delivered to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
The Programme provides that Bonds may be listed on such other or further stock exchange(s) as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer.
The Issuer may also issue unlisted Bonds and/or Bonds not admitted to trading on the Market.
Bonds issued under the Programme and the guarantees thereof have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Securities Act), or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered, sold,
pledged or delivered within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act
(Regulation S)) except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws.
Accordingly, the Bonds may be offered or sold in offshore transactions to persons that are not U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S. For a description of
certain restrictions on resales and transfers, as to which each purchaser of Bonds will be deemed to have acknowledged, represented and agreed, see
"Subscription and Sale" in this Offering Circular.
The Bonds have not been approved or disapproved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), any federal or state securities commission in
the United States or any other U.S. regulatory authority, nor have any of the foregoing authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Bonds or the accuracy or adequacy of this Offering Circular.
Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.
The Issuer may agree with any Dealer that Bonds may be issued in a form not contemplated by the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds herein, in which event
a new Offering Circular, in the case of listed Bonds only, if appropriate, will be made available which will describe the effect of the agreement reached in
relation to such Bonds.
The Bonds will be issued in dematerialised form (gedematerialiseerd/dématérialisé) in accordance with Articles 468 et seq. of the Belgian Company Code
(Wetboek van Vennootschappen/Code des Sociétés) (the Belgian Company Code) and cannot be physically delivered. The Bonds will be represented
exclusively by book entry in the records of the clearing system operated by the National Bank of Belgium (NBB) or any successor thereto (the Clearing
System). Access to the Clearing System is available through those of its Clearing System participants whose membership extends to securities such as the
Bonds. Clearing System participants include certain banks, stockbrokers (beursvennootschappen/sociétés de bourse), and Euroclear Bank N/SA (Euroclear)
and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, Luxembourg (Clearstream, Luxembourg). Accordingly, the Bonds will be eligible to clear through, and
therefore accepted by, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and investors can hold their Bonds within securities accounts in Euroclear and Clearstream,
Luxembourg. Bonds shall only be issued under the Programme insofar these can be cleared through the Clearing System and shall only be issued in
accordance with the rules of the Clearing System.
An investment in Bonds issued under the Programme involves certain risks. Please see "Risk Factors" beginning on page 1.
The Bonds to be issued under the Programme are expected on issue to be assigned a "Baa1" rating by Moody's Investors Service Limited (Moody's) and a
"BBB" rating by Fitch Ratings Ltd (Fitch and, at the Initial Issue Date together with Moody's, the Rating Agencies). Each Rating Agency is established in
the European Union and registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 (as amended) (the CRA Regulation). As such each of Moody's and Fitch is
included in the list of credit agencies published by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on its website (at www.esma.europa.eu/page/list-
registered-and-certified-CRAs) in accordance with the CRA Regulation. Bonds issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated by any one or more of
the Rating Agencies. Where a Series or Tranche of Bonds is rated, such rating will be disclosed in the applicable Final Terms. Such rating will not
necessarily be the same as the rating assigned to the Programme. Whether or not a rating in relation to any Tranche of Bonds will be treated as having been
issued by a credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered under the CRA Regulation will be disclosed in the relevant Final Terms. 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. Please also refer to "Credit ratings may not reflect all risks relating to the Bonds" in the Risk Factors section of this Offering Circular.

IMPORTANT NOTICES
This Offering Circular is being distributed only to, and is directed only at, relevant persons. This Offering
Circular, or any of its contents, must not be acted on or relied on by persons who are not relevant persons.
Any investment or investment activity to which this Offering Circular relates is available only to, and any
invitation, offer or agreement to subscribe, purchase or otherwise acquire such investments will be engaged
in only with, relevant persons.
Neither the delivery of this Offering Circular nor the offering, sale or delivery of any Bonds shall in any
circumstances imply that the information contained herein concerning the Issuer or the Obligors is correct at
any time subsequent to the date hereof or that any other information supplied in connection with the
Programme is correct or that there has been no adverse change in the financial position of the Issuer or the
Obligors as of any time subsequent to the date indicated in the document containing the same. None of the
Dealers, the Bond Trustee, the Security Trustee or the Agents (defined below) undertakes to review the
financial condition or affairs of any of the Issuer or the Obligors during the life of the Programme or to

ii





This Offering Circular is not intended to provide the basis of any credit or other evaluation and should not be
considered as a recommendation by the Issuer, any Obligor, any Dealer, the Bond Trustee, the Security
Trustee or any Agent that any recipient of this Offering Circular should purchase any of the Bonds.
Each person contemplating making an investment in the Bonds must make its own investigation and analysis
of the creditworthiness of the Issuer and the Obligors and its own determination of the suitability of any such
investment, with particular reference to its own investment objectives and experience and any other factors
which may be relevant to it in connection with such investment. A prospective investor who is in any doubt
whatsoever as to the risks involved in investing in the Bonds should consult independent professional
advisers.
In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the Issuer and the
Obligors and the terms of the Bonds being offered, including the merits and risks involved.
The Bonds may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Each potential investor in the Bonds must
determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential
investor should:

have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Bonds, the merits
and risks of investing in the Bonds and the information contained in this Offering Circular, any
supplemental Offering Circular or any applicable Final Terms;

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

have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Bonds,
including Bonds with principal or interest payable in one or more currencies or where the currency
for principal or interest payments is different from the potential investor's currency;

understand thoroughly the terms of the Bonds 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 Bonds are complex financial instruments. 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 Bonds which are complex financial instruments
unless it has the experience (either alone or with a financial adviser) to evaluate how the Bonds will perform
under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Bonds and the impact this investment will
have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio.
In addition, the investment activities of certain investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations,
or review or regulation by certain authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to
determine whether and to what extent Bonds are legal investments for it, Bonds can be used as security for
indebtedness and other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any Bonds. Financial institutions
should consult their legal advisors or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of
Bonds under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.
The distribution of this Offering Circular and the offering, sale or delivery of the Bonds in certain
jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Offering Circular comes are


iii





required by the Issuer, the Obligors and the Dealers to inform themselves about and to observe any such
restrictions. This Offering Circular does not constitute, and may not be used for the purposes of, an offer to
or solicitation by any person to subscribe or purchase any Bonds in any jurisdiction or in any circumstances
in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorised or is unlawful.
In connection with the issue of any Series of Bonds, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as Stabilising
Manager(s) (or any person acting on their behalf) (Stabilising Manager(s)) may over-allot Bonds or effect
transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Bonds at a level higher than that which might
otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the Stabilising Manager(s) (or any person acting on
behalf of a Stabilising Manager) will undertake stabilisation action. Any stabilisation action may begin on or
after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the relevant Series of Bonds is
made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the
Issue Date of the relevant Series of Bonds and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Series of
Bonds. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must be conducted by the relevant Stabilising Manager(s)
(or any person(s) acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and
rules.

OVERVIEW OF BRUSSELS AIRPORT AND THE PROGRAMME
The following does not purport to be complete and is taken from, and is qualified in its entirety by, the
remainder of this Offering Circular and, in relation to the Conditions of any particular Series of Bonds, the
applicable Final Terms.
OVERVIEW
As at the date of this Offering Circular, The Brussels Airport Company NV/SA (TBAC) is the owner and
operator of Brussels' airport in Zaventem (Brussels Airport), the principal airport serving Brussels and
Belgium. Following the Permitted Merger (described below), Brussels Airport Holding NV/SA (BAH) will
be renamed Brussels Airport Company NV/SA (BAC) and become the direct owner and operator of Brussels
Airport. Brussels Airport is located, both politically and economically, at the centre of the European Union,
providing Brussels Airport with a large catchment area, spanning across Belgium, the South of the
Netherlands and the North-East of France. Approximately 20 million people live within a 90-minute drive
from Brussels Airport.
In the financial year ending 31 December 2012, 19 million passengers used Brussels Airport (Source: TBAC
Monthly Management Reporting December 2012). The estimated maximum physical capacity of the airport
is 25 million passengers per annum (Source: TBAC Aviation Development team), providing it with
significant additional capacity for passenger growth in the medium to long term.
Brussels Airport serves 195 destinations worldwide with a diversified route network (Source: TBAC Central
Database). Destinations within the European Union accounted for 55% and destinations to outside the
European Union accounted for 45% in the financial year ending 31 December 2012 (Source: TBAC Central
Database). As at the date of this Offering Circular, no individual route represents more than 5% of total
passenger traffic (Source: TBAC Central Database). As at the date of this Offering Circular, Brussels
Airport has a broad base of airlines with 78 main carriers operating regularly therefrom (Source: TBAC
Central Database). Brussels Airport also benefits from a low dependency upon a single airline compared
with other major European airports: in the financial year ending 31 December 2012, Brussels Airlines
accounted for 31% of the total passenger traffic at Brussels Airport (Source: TBAC Monthly Management
Information Pack December 2012).
Non-aeronautical income is an important component of the Group's revenue mix, principally derived from
retail concessions, car parking and revenue from ownership of properties in the vicinity of the airport. With
over 18,000 square metres of terminal space allocated to retail activities at Brussels Airport, the airport, as at
the date of this Offering Circular, includes 49 retail outlets, 32 food and beverage outlets (Source: TBAC
Monthly Sales Report April 2013) as well as 480 advertising sites (Source: TBAC Advertising) within the
pier and landside areas. Non-aeronautical income accounted for 34.4% of the Group's revenues in the
financial year ending 31 December 2012 (Source: TBAC Monthly Management Reporting December 2012).
In the twelve months to 31 December 2012 net retail income per passenger (including car parks, but
excluding advertising) was EUR 3.89 (compared with EUR 3.74 for the twelve months to 31 December
2011) (Source: TBAC Monthly Management Reporting December 2012).
PERMITTED MERGER AND LICENCE RENEWAL
On the Initial Issue Date, TBAC will be merged into its parent company, Brussels Airport Holding NV/SA
(BAH) and BAH will (i) automatically acquire the airport and all assets, liabilities, rights and obligations of
TBAC (including 100 per cent of the shares in TBAC's subsidiary company DNB, which is the entity that
manages the electricity distribution network at Brussels Airport) and (ii) be renamed Brussels Airport
Company NV/SA (BAC) (together the Permitted Merger). The Permitted Merger triggers the obligation to
renew the Licence under article 47 of the Transformation Decree (the Licence Renewal). The Licence


viii





Renewal will enter into force on the day of the Permitted Merger. See "Airport Regulation" below for full
details.
In this Offering Circular, the Company means (i) TBAC prior to the Permitted Merger and (ii) the Issuer on
and after the Permitted Merger and Licence Renewal.
