APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds of $4,989,800,000 from the sale of the Notes offered hereby will be used in the general
operations of the EIB, including disbursements of loans heretofore or hereafter granted by the EIB.
DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
The following description of the particular terms of the Notes offered hereby (referred to in the accompanying
prospectus as the "Securities") supplements, and to the extent, if any, inconsistent therewith replaces, the description
of the general terms and provisions to the Securities set forth in the accompanying prospectus to which description
reference is hereby made. Such descriptions do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the Fiscal Agency Agreement, copies of which are available for inspection at the Fiscal Agent's office
at Citigroup Centre, 25 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5LB, United Kingdom, and to the form of
Global Note filed by the EIB with the SEC.
General
The 0.875% Notes due 2017 offered hereby (the "Notes") will be issued under a fiscal agency agreement dated
as of November 23, 2011 (the "Fiscal Agency Agreement", as described in the accompanying prospectus), between
the EIB and Citibank, N.A., London Branch, as fiscal agent (the "Fiscal Agent"). Interest will be paid on the Notes
at the rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and will be payable April 18 and October 18 of
each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), with the initial payment on April 18, 2014 (short first coupon for the
period from and including March 5, 2014 to but excluding April 18, 2014). The Notes will bear interest from March
5, 2014. The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund or to redemption prior to maturity. Registration or transfer of
Notes will be effected without charge to the holders thereof.
If an Interest Payment Date or the maturity date is a day on which banking institutions are authorized or
obligated by law to close in New York or in a place of payment, then payment of principal or interest need not be
made on that Interest Payment Date or the maturity date. The EIB may make the required payment on the next
succeeding day that is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law to close in New
York or in the place of payment. The payment will be made with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest
Payment Date or maturity date and no additional interest shall accrue for the period from the Interest Payment Date
or maturity date to the date of actual payment.
Payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes made at the offices of the Fiscal Agent and any paying
agent (a "Paying Agent") shall be subject in all cases to any fiscal or other laws and regulations applicable thereto.
Consequently, neither the EIB nor any Paying Agent will make any additional payment in the event of a withholding
tax being required in respect of any payment under or in connection with the Notes. Neither the EIB nor any Paying
Agent shall be liable to any holders of the Notes or other person for commissions, costs, losses or expenses in
relation to or resulting from such payments. In addition to the Notes, the EIB may issue from time to time other
series of Securities under the Fiscal Agency Agreement consisting of notes, bonds, debentures or other unsecured
evidences of indebtedness.
The Fiscal Agent will be responsible for:
·
maintaining a record of the aggregate holdings of Notes;
·
ensuring that payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes received by the Fiscal Agent from
the EIB are duly credited to the holders of the Notes; and
·
transmitting to the EIB any notices from the holders of the Notes.
The Notes shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, except
with respect to authorization and execution by the EIB which shall be governed by the Statute of the EIB (the
"Statute") set forth in a Protocol annexed to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, as amended and
supplemented from time to time (the "Treaty").
S-6

Payment of Principal and Interest
Interest will be payable to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the
date that is ten calendar days prior to each Interest Payment Date. The principal of and interest on the Notes will be
paid in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public
and private debts. The EIB may change or terminate the designation of paying agents from time to time. Payments
of principal and interest at such agencies will be subject to applicable laws and regulations, including any
withholding or other taxes, and will be effected by check, or, under certain circumstances, by transfer to an existing
United States dollar account maintained by such holder with a bank in New York City. Interest will be calculated on
the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months unadjusted.
The EIB will redeem the Notes on April 18, 2017 at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid
interest to date.
The EIB shall have the right at any time to purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise. Any Notes so
purchased may be resold at the EIB's discretion if not surrendered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation.
The Fiscal Agent is not a trustee for the holders of the Notes and does not have the same responsibilities or
duties to act for such holders as would a trustee.
The Notes will be sold in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.
Further Issues
The EIB may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the Notes, create and issue
further notes ranking pari passu with the Notes in all respects (or in all respects except for the payment of interest
accruing prior to the issue date of such further notes or except for the first payment of interest following the issue
date of such further notes) and such further notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes and
shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Notes.
Notices
All notices will be published in English in London in the Financial Times, in New York in The Wall Street
Journal (Eastern Edition) and, so long as any of the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the
rules of that Exchange so require, on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange at http://www.bourse.lu. If at
any time publication in any such newspaper is not practicable, notices will be valid if published in an English
language newspaper with general circulation in the respective market regions as determined by the EIB. Any such
notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once on
different dates, on the first date on which publication is made.
Regarding the Fiscal Agent
Citibank, N.A., London Branch will be acting in its capacity as Fiscal Agent through its office located at
Citigroup Centre, 25 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5LB, United Kingdom.
S-7

UNDERWRITERS
Under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement dated February 26, 2014
(the "Underwriting Agreement"), the underwriters named below (the "Underwriters") have severally agreed to
purchase, and the EIB has agreed to sell to them, severally, the respective principal amount of the Notes set forth
opposite their respective names below:
Principal Amount

$1,633,333,000
Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch ...................................................
$1,633,333,000
Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc ..............................................

Merrill Lynch International .................................................................
$25,000,000
Nomura International plc ....................................................................
$25,000,000

$5,000,000,000

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of
the Notes are subject to, among other things, the approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and certain other
conditions. The Underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all the Notes if any are taken.
The Underwriters propose initially to offer the Notes to the public at the public offering price set forth on the
cover page of this prospectus supplement.
In order to facilitate the offering of the Notes, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc (or any person acting for
it) as lead stabilization agent (the "Lead Stabilization Agent") may over-allot the 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, there is no assurance that the Lead Stabilization Agent (or any person acting for it) will undertake
stabilization action. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of
the terms of the offer of the Notes 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 Notes and 60 days after the date of allotment of the Notes. Any
stabilization action or over-allotment of the Notes must be conducted by the Lead Stabilization Agent (or any person
acting for it) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
Certain of the Underwriters and their affiliates engage in transactions with, and perform services for, the EIB in
the ordinary course of business and have engaged, and may in the future engage, in commercial banking and
investment transactions with the EIB.
The Notes are offered for sale in those jurisdictions in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and elsewhere
where it is lawful to make such offers.
Each of the Underwriters has represented and agreed that it and each of its affiliates has not and will not offer,
sell or deliver any of the Notes directly or indirectly, or distribute this prospectus supplement or the prospectus or
any other offering material relating to the Notes, in or from any jurisdiction except under circumstances that will
result in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations thereof and that will not impose any obligations on the
EIB except as set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.
In particular, each Underwriter has represented and agreed that:
(i) it and each of its affiliates has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only
communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity
(within the meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA")) received by it
S-8

in connection with the issue or sale of any Notes in circumstances in which section 21(1) of the FSMA does not
apply to the EIB;
(ii) it and each of its affiliates has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA
with respect to anything done by it in relation to any Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United
Kingdom;
(iii) the Notes have not been and will not be qualified for sale under the securities laws of Canada or any
province or territory thereof;
(iv) it and each of its affiliates has not offered or sold, and will not offer or sell, any Notes, directly or
indirectly, in Canada or to, or for the benefit of, any resident thereof, except pursuant to available exemptions
from applicable Canadian provincial and territorial laws; and
(v) the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law
of Japan (Law No. 25 of 1948, as amended) (the "FIEL"), and the Notes will not be offered or sold, directly or
indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, any resident of Japan (which term as used herein means any
person resident in Japan, including any corporation or other entity organized under the laws of Japan), or to
others for re-offering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, any resident of Japan,
except pursuant to any exemption from the registration requirements of, and otherwise in compliance with, the
FIEL and any other applicable laws, regulations and ministerial guidelines of Japan.
Purchasers of the Notes may be required to pay stamp taxes and other charges in accordance with the laws and
practices of the country of purchase in addition to the issue price set forth on the cover page hereof.
Expenses associated with this offering are estimated to be $125,000.
The EIB has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about March 5, 2014.
Trades of securities in the secondary markets generally are required to settle in three business days, referred to as
T+3, unless the parties to the trade agree otherwise. Accordingly, by virtue of the fact that the initial delivery of the
Notes will not be made on a T+3 basis, investors who wish to trade the Notes before a final settlement will be
required to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.
TAXATION
The following paragraph should replace the second bullet under "Taxation--United States Taxation--Tax
Consequences to U.S. Holders--U.S. Dollar Denominated Securities--Sale or Retirement of Securities" in the
attached prospectus:
·
Your gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss, and will be long term capital gain or loss if you held
the security for more than one year. For an individual, long term capital gain generally will be subject to
reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.
The following paragraph should follow the section entitled "Taxation--United States Taxation--Tax
Consequences to U.S. Holders--Information Reporting and Backup Withholding" in the attached prospectus:
U.S. Return Disclosure Requirements
If you hold certain "specified foreign financial assets", which may include the Notes, you may be required to
report information relating to such assets, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for assets held in
accounts maintained by certain financial institutions), by attaching a complete IRS Form 8938 (Statement of
Specified Foreign Financial Assets) with your tax return for each year in which you hold an interest in such assets.
"Specified foreign financial asset" generally includes any financial account maintained with a non-U.S. financial
S-9

institution and may also include the Notes if they are not held in an account maintained with a financial institution.
Penalties may apply for failure to properly complete and file IRS Form 8938.
