unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by
UNICREDIT S.p.A.
in the case of Notes issued by UniCredit Bank Ireland p.l.c. and UniCredit International Bank
(Luxembourg) S.A.
60,000,000,000 EURO MEDIUM TERM NOTE PROGRAMME
Under the 60,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the Programme) described in this document
(the Base Prospectus), UniCredit S.p.A. (UniCredit or the Parent), UniCredit Bank Ireland p.l.c. (UniCredit
Ireland) and UniCredit International Bank (Luxembourg) S.A. (UniCredit International Luxembourg) (each
an Issuer and together the Issuers) may from time to time issue notes (the Notes) denominated in any currency
agreed between the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer (as defined below). The payment of all amounts due
in respect of Notes issued by UniCredit Ireland and by UniCredit International Luxembourg (the Guaranteed
Notes) will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by UniCredit (in such capacity, the Guarantor).
Notes may be issued in bearer or registered form (respectively Bearer Notes and Registered Notes). The
maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Notes from time to time outstanding under the Programme will not
exceed 60,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies calculated as described herein), subject to increase
as described herein.
The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified under "Overview of the
Programme" and any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme from time to time by the Issuer (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 the case of an issue of Notes being (or
intended to be) subscribed by more than one Dealer, be to all Dealers agreeing to subscribe for such Notes.
An investment in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. For a discussion of these risks
see "Risk Factors".
Applications have been made to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the CSSF) in its
capacity as competent authority under the laws of Luxembourg, for the approval of this document as three base
prospectuses in accordance with Article 5.4 of Directive 2003/71/EC (the Prospectus Directive) as amended
(which includes the amendments made by Directive 2010/73/EU (the 2010 PD Amending Directive) to the
extent that such amendments have been implemented in a relevant Member State of the European Economic
Area) and Article 8.4 of the Luxembourg Act dated 10 July 2005 on prospectuses for securities (the Prospectus




Act 2005). The CSSF assumes no responsibility as to the economic and financial soundness of the transactions
contemplated by this Base Prospectus or the quality or solvency of the Issuers in accordance with Article 7.7 of
the Prospectus Act 2005. Application has also been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes issued
under the Programme to be admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market (as
contemplated by Directive 2004/39/EC) and to be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange. Application may also be made for notification to be given to competent authorities in other Member
States of the European Economic Area in order to permit Notes issued under the Programme to be offered to the
public and admitted to trading on regulated markets in such other Member States in accordance with the
procedures under Article 18 of the Prospectus Directive.
References in this Base Prospectus to Notes being listed (and all related references) shall mean that such Notes
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 2004/39/EC).
The requirement to publish a prospectus under the Prospectus Directive only applies to Notes 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 are to Notes 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.
Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the issue price of
Notes and certain other information which is applicable to each Tranche (as defined under "Terms and
Conditions of the Notes") of Notes will (other than in the case of Exempt Notes, 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 to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange will also be published on the website of the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu). In the case of Exempt Notes, notice of the aggregate nominal amount of
Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the issue price of Notes and certain other information which
is applicable to each Tranche will be set out in a pricing supplement document (the Pricing Supplement).
The Programme provides that Notes may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or
further stock exchange(s) or markets as may be agreed between the Issuers, the Guarantor and the relevant
Dealer. The Issuers may also issue unlisted Notes and/or Notes not admitted to trading on any market. The
CSSF has neither approved nor reviewed information contained in this Base Prospectus in connection with
Exempt Notes.
As more fully set out in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes ­ Taxation", in the case of payments by UniCredit
as Issuer or (in the case of Guaranteed Notes) as Guarantor, additional amounts will not be payable to holders of
the Notes or of the interest coupons appertaining to the Notes (the Coupons) with respect to any withholding or
deduction pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No. 239 of 1 April 1996 (as amended or supplemented) and
related regulations of implementation which have been or may subsequently be enacted (Decree 239). In
addition, certain other (more customary) exceptions to the obligation of the relevant Issuer and (in the case of
Guaranteed Notes) the Guarantor to pay additional amounts to holders of the Notes with respect to the
imposition of withholding or deduction from payments relating to the Notes also apply, also as more fully set
out in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes ­ Taxation".
Except with respect to the information set out in this Base Prospectus under the heading "Book Entry Clearance
Systems", each of UniCredit and (insofar as the contents of this Base Prospectus relate to it) UniCredit Ireland
and UniCredit International Luxembourg, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirms that this Base
Prospectus contains or incorporates all information which is material in the context of the issuance and offering
of Notes, that the information contained or incorporated in this Base Prospectus is true and accurate in all
material respects and is not misleading, that the opinions and intentions expressed in this Base Prospectus are
honestly held and that there are no other facts the omission of which would make this Base Prospectus or any of
such information or the expression of any such opinions or intentions misleading. UniCredit, UniCredit Ireland
and UniCredit International Luxembourg accept responsibility accordingly.
The information relating to each of the Depository Trust Company (DTC), Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V.
(Euroclear) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (Clearstream, Luxembourg) has been accurately

2



reproduced from information published by each of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg respectively.
So far as each of UniCredit, UniCredit Ireland and UniCredit International Luxembourg is aware and is able to
ascertain from information published by the Clearing Systems, no facts have been omitted which would render
the reproduced information misleading.
The rating of certain Series of Notes to be issued under the Programme may be specified in the applicable Final
Terms. Whether or not each credit rating applied for in relation to a relevant Series of Notes will be issued by a
credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 (as
amended) (the CRA Regulation), and whether such credit rating agency 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,
will be disclosed in the Final Terms (or Pricing Supplement, in the case of Exempt Notes). Please also refer to
"Credit ratings assigned to the Issuers, the Guarantor or any Notes may not reflect all the risks associated with
an investment in those Notes" in the "Risk Factors" section of this Base Prospectus.

under the Programme: (a) the base prospectus for UniCredit in respect of non-equity securities within the
meaning of Article 22 No. 6 (4) of the Commission Regulation (EC) No. 809/2004 of 29 April 2004, as
amended (Non-Equity Securities); (b) the base prospectus for UniCredit Ireland in respect of Non-Equity
Securities; and (c) the base prospectus for UniCredit International Luxembourg in respect of Non-Equity

The Issuers and the Guarantor (the Responsible Persons) accept responsibility for the information
contained in this Base Prospectus and the Final Terms for each Tranche of Notes issued under the
Programme. To the best of the knowledge of the Responsible Persons, each 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 contains no omissions likely to affect its import.
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 representation, warranty or undertaking, express or implied, is made by any of the Dealers or any of
their respective affiliates or the Trustee and no responsibility or liability is accepted by any of the Dealers
or by any of their respective affiliates or the Trustee as to the accuracy or completeness of the
information contained or incorporated in this Base Prospectus or of any other information provided by
the Issuers or the Guarantor in connection with the Programme. No Dealer or any of their respective
affiliates or the Trustee accepts any liability in relation to the information contained or incorporated by
reference in this Base Prospectus or any other information provided by the Issuers or the Guarantor in
connection with the Programme.
This Base Prospectus contains industry and customer-related data as well as calculations taken from
industry reports, market research reports, publicly available information and commercial publications. It
is hereby confirmed that (a) to the extent that information reproduced herein derives from a third party,
such information has been accurately reproduced and (b) insofar as the Issuers are aware and are able to
ascertain from information derived from a third party, no facts have been omitted which would render
the information reproduced inaccurate or misleading.
Commercial publications generally state that the information they contain originates from sources

been independently verified by the Issuers.
No person is or has been authorised by the Issuers, the Guarantor or the Trustee to give any information
or to make any representation not contained in or not consistent with this Base Prospectus or any other

considered as a recommendation by the Issuers, the Guarantor, any of the Dealers or the Trustee that any
recipient of this Base Prospectus or of any other information supplied in connection with the Programme
or any Notes should purchase any Notes. Each investor contemplating purchasing any Notes should make
its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs, and its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness, of the relevant Issuer and/or the Guarantor. Neither this Base Prospectus nor any other
information supplied in connection with the Programme or the issue of any Notes constitutes an offer or
invitation by or on behalf of the Issuers, the Guarantor, any of the Dealers or the Trustee to any person to

IMPORTANT INFORMATION RELATING TO NON-EXEMPT OFFERS OF NOTES
Restrictions on Non-exempt offers of Notes in Relevant Member States
Certain Tranches of Notes with a denomination of less than 100,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency)
may be offered in circumstances where there is no exemption from the obligation under the Prospectus Directive
to publish a prospectus. Any such offer is referred to as a Non-exempt Offer. This Base Prospectus has been
prepared on a basis that permits Non-exempt Offers of Notes. However, any person making or intending to
make a Non-exempt Offer of Notes in any Member State of the European Economic Area which has
implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a Relevant Member State) may only do so if this Base Prospectus
has been approved by the competent authority in that Relevant Member State (or, where appropriate, approved
in another Relevant Member State and notified to the competent authority in that Relevant Member State) and
published in accordance with the Prospectus Directive, provided that the Issuers have consented to the use of
this Base Prospectus in connection with such offer as provided under "Consent given in accordance with Article
3.2 of the Prospectus Directive (Retail Cascades)" and the conditions specified in or attached to that consent are
complied with by the person making the Non-exempt Offer of such Notes.
Save as provided above, none of the Issuers, the Guarantor and any Dealer have authorised, nor do they
authorise, the making of any Non-exempt Offer of Notes in circumstances in which an obligation arises for the
Issuers or any Dealer to publish or supplement a prospectus for such offer.
Consent given in accordance with Article 3.2 of the Prospectus Directive (Retail Cascades)
In the context of a Non-exempt Offer of such Notes, the Issuers and the Guarantor accept responsibility, in the
jurisdictions to which the consent to use the Base Prospectus extends, for the content of this Base Prospectus
under Article 6 of the Prospectus Directive in relation to any person (an Investor) who acquires any Notes in a
Non-exempt Offer made by any person to whom the relevant Issuer has given consent to the use of this Base
Prospectus (an Authorised Offeror) in that connection, provided that the conditions attached to that consent are
complied with by the Authorised Offeror. The consent and conditions attached to it are set out under "Consent"
and "Common Conditions to Consent" below.
None of the Issuers, the Guarantor or any Dealer makes any representation as to the compliance by an
Authorised Offeror with any applicable conduct of business rules or other applicable regulatory or securities law
requirements in relation to any Non-exempt Offer and none of the Issuers or any Dealer has any responsibility
or liability for the actions of that Authorised Offeror.
Save as provided below, none of the Issuers, the Guarantor and any Dealer has authorised the making of
any Non-exempt Offer by any offeror and the Issuers have not consented to the use of this Base
Prospectus by any other person in connection with any Non-exempt Offer of Notes. Any Non-exempt
Offer made without the consent of the relevant Issuer is unauthorised and none of the relevant Issuer,
and, if the Notes are Guaranteed Notes, the Guarantor and each and any Dealer accepts any
responsibility or liability for the actions of the persons making any such unauthorised offer. If, in the
context of a Non-exempt Offer, an Investor is offered Notes by a person which is not an Authorised Offeror, the
Investor should check with that person whether anyone is responsible for this Base Prospectus for the purposes
of Article 6 of the Prospectus Directive in the context of the Non-Exempt Offer and, if so, who that person is. If
the Investor is in any doubt about whether it can rely on this Base Prospectus and/or who is responsible for its
contents it should take legal advice.

Conditions to Consent":

Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2004/39/EC); and
(ii)

the relevant Dealer as is available to such financial intermediary or which is within

and the financial intermediary submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English
