(incorporated with limited liability as a Societą per Azioni in the Republic of Italy under registered number 00348170101)
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 Issuer) may from time to time issue notes governed
by Italian law (the Notes). The Notes may be denominated in any currency agreed between the Issuer and the
relevant Dealer (as defined below).
Notes will be issued in bearer form (Bearer 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 UniCredit Bank AG 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 on-going 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.
The terms and conditions of the Notes are set out herein in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes".
An investment in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. For a discussion of these risks,
see "Risk Factors".
This Base Prospectus has been approved as a base prospectus by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur
Financier (the CSSF), as competent authority under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended (the Prospectus
Regulation). The CSSF only approves this Base Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness,
comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the Prospectus Regulation. Such approval by the CSSF should not
be considered as an endorsement of the Issuer or of the quality of the Notes. Investors should make their own
assessment as to the suitability of investing in the Notes.
By approving this Base Prospectus, in accordance with 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 Issuer.
Application has 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
2014/65/EU) 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 EEA 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 25 of the Prospectus Regulation.
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 2014/65/EU), as

or material inaccuracy does not apply when this Base Prospectus is no longer valid. The validity of this
Base Prospectus ends upon expiration on 7 June 2023.



References in this Base Prospectus to Exempt Notes are to Notes for which no prospectus is required to be
published under the Prospectus Regulation and the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. 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 the 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 Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s). The Issuer
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 the Issuer,
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 Issuer 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".

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

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 (i) issued or

1060/2009 (as amended) (the CRA Regulation) or by a credit rating agency which is certified under the CRA
Regulation, and/or (ii) issued or endorsed by a credit rating agency established in the United Kingdom and
2



registered under the CRA Regulation, as it forms part of domestic law of the United Kingdom by virtue of the
European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the UK CRA Regulation) or by a credit rating agency which is certified
under the UK 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). In general, European
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 EEA and registered under the CRA Regulation or (i) the rating is provided by a
credit rating agency not established in the EEA but is endorsed by a credit rating agency established in the EEA
and registered under the CRA Regulation or (ii) the rating is provided by a credit rating agency not established in
the EEA which is certified under the CRA Regulation. In general, UK 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 UK and
registered under the UK CRA Regulation or (i) the rating is provided by a credit rating agency not established in
the UK but is endorsed by a credit rating agency established in the UK and registered under the UK CRA
Regulation or (ii) the rating is provided by a credit rating agency not established in the UK which is certified under
the UK CRA Regulation. The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) is obliged to maintain on its
website, https://www.esma.europa.eu/page/Listregistered-and-certified-CRAs, a list of credit rating agencies
registered and certified in accordance with the CRA Regulation. Please also refer to "Credit ratings assigned to
the Issuer 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.
Amounts payable under the Floating Rate Notes and/or the Reset Notes may be calculated by reference to certain
reference rates such as EURIBOR, CAD-BA-CDOR, CMS or SOFR, as specified in the relevant Final Terms. As
at the date of this Base Prospectus, Thomson Reuters Benchmark Services Limited (as administrator of CAD-BA-
CDOR) and the European Money Markets Institute (as administrator of EURIBOR) are included in the register
of administrators maintained by the ESMA under Article 36 of Regulation (EU) No. 2016/1011 (the EU
Benchmarks Regulation). As at the date of this Base Prospectus, the ICE Benchmark Administration (as
administrator of CMS) and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (as administrator of SOFR) are not included
in the register of administrators maintained by ESMA under Article 36 of the EU Benchmarks Regulation. As far
the Issuer is aware, the transitional provisions in Article 51 of the EU Benchmarks Regulation apply, such that
ICE Benchmark Administration (as administrator of CMS) is not currently required to obtain
authorization/registration (or, if located outside the European Union, recognition, endorsement or equivalence).
As far as the Issuer is aware, SOFR does not fall within the scope of the EU Benchmarks Regulation by virtue of
Article 2 of that Regulation.
Amounts payable on Inflation Linked Notes will be calculated by reference to CPI or HICP (each as defined
below). As at the date of this Base Prospectus, the administrators of CPI and HICP are not included in ESMA's
register of administrators under Article 36 of the Benchmarks Regulation.
As far as the Issuer is aware, CPI and HICP do not fall within the scope of the Benchmarks Regulation by virtue
of Article 2 of that Regulation.

pursuant to the United Kingdom (UK) Financial Conduct Authority Conduct of Business Sourcebook (COBS),
the Additional Tier 1 Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available and should not be
offered, sold or otherwise made available to retail clients (as defined in COBS 3.4) in the UK. Potential investors

Additional Tier 1 Notes:
The Issuer may at any time elect at its full discretion to cancel (in whole or
in part) for an unlimited period and on a non-cumulative basis the Interest
Amounts otherwise scheduled to be paid on an Interest Payment Date.
Without prejudice to (i) such full discretion of the Issuer to cancel the
7


General Description of the Programme
Interest Amounts and (ii) the prohibition to make payments on the
Additional Tier 1 Notes pursuant to any provisions of Italian law
implementing Article 141(2) of the CRD IV Directive and, if relevant, in
any other similar payment restriction provision(s) under the Relevant
Regulations, before the Maximum Distributable Amount is calculated,
payment of Interest Amounts on any Interest Payment Date must be
cancelled (in whole or, as the case may be, in part) if and to the extent that
such Interest Amounts:
(a)
when aggregated together with distributions on all other Own Funds
instruments of the Issuer (excluding Tier 2 Capital instruments) paid
or scheduled for payment in the then current financial year and any
potential write-ups exceed the amount of Distributable Items,
excluding any payments already accounted for in determining the
Distributable Items; and/or
(b)
when aggregated together with other distributions of the Issuer or the
UniCredit Group, as applicable, of the kind referred to in Article
141(2) of the CRD IV Directive and, if relevant, in any other similar
payment restriction provision(s) under the Relevant Regulations (or,
if different, any provisions of Italian law implementing Article
141(2) of the CRD IV Directive or, if relevant, such other
provision(s)) and the amount of any write-up (if applicable), would,
if paid, cause the Maximum Distributable Amount (if any) then
applicable to the Issuer and/or the UniCredit Group to be exceeded;
and/or
(c)
are required to be cancelled (in whole or in part) by an order to the
Issuer from the Competent Authority.
Interest shall also be cancelled if a Contingency Event occurs, as set out in
Condition 8.1 (Loss Absorption) of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes.
See Condition 7.1 (Cancellation of Interest Amounts) of the Terms and
Conditions of the Notes.
Distributable Items means, subject as otherwise defined in the Relevant
Regulations from time to time:
(a)
an amount equal to the Issuer's profits at the end of the financial year
immediately preceding the financial year in which the relevant
Interest Payment Date falls plus any profits brought forward and
reserves available for that purpose before distributions to holders of
Own Funds instruments (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes
any such distributions paid or made on Tier 2 instruments or any such
distributions which have already been provided for, by way of
deduction, in calculating the amount of Distributable Items); less
(b)
an amount equal to any losses brought forward, profits which are
non-distributable pursuant to applicable Italian law or the by-laws of
the Issuer from time to time and sums placed to non-distributable
reserves in accordance with applicable Italian law or the by-laws of
the Issuer from time to time,
those profits, losses and reserves being determined on the basis of the
Issuer's non-consolidated accounts.
Maximum Distributable Amount means any applicable maximum
distributable amount relating to the Issuer and/or the UniCredit Group, as
the case may be, required to be calculated in accordance with the CRD IV
8


General Description of the Programme
Directive and/or any other Relevant Regulation(s) (or any provision of
Italian law transposing or implementing the CRD IV Directive and/or, if
relevant, any other Relevant Regulation(s)).
Calculation of Interest Amount in case of Write-Down
Subject to Condition 7.1 (Cancellation of Interest Amounts) of the Terms
and Conditions of the Notes, in the event that a Write-Down occurs during
an Interest Period, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be cancelled
pursuant to Condition 8.1 (Loss Absorption) of the Terms and Conditions
of the Notes and the Interest Amount payable on the Interest Payment Date
immediately following such Interest Period shall be calculated in
accordance with Condition 6.3(f) (Determination of Rate of Interest and
calculation of Interest Amounts) of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes,
provided that the Day Count Fraction shall be determined as if the Interest
Period started on, and included, the Write-Down Effective Date.
Calculation of Interest Amount in case of Write-Up
Subject to Condition 7.1 (Cancellation of Interest Amounts) of the Terms
and Conditions of the Notes, in the event that a Write-Up occurs during an
Interest Period, the Interest Amount payable on the Interest Payment Date
immediately following such Interest Period shall be calculated as the sum
(rounding the resulting figure to the nearest cent, with half a cent being
rounded upwards) of the following:
(a)
the product of the applicable Rate of Interest, the Prevailing Principal
Amount before such Write-Up, and the Day Count Fraction
(determined as if the Interest Period ended on, but excluded, the date
of such Write-Up); and
(b)
the product of the applicable Rate of Interest, the Prevailing Principal
Amount after such Write-Up, and the Day Count Fraction
(determined as if the Interest Period started on, and included, the date
of such Write-Up).
Non-cumulative interest
Interest on the Additional Tier 1 Notes is not cumulative. Interest that the
Issuer elects not to pay or is prohibited from paying will not accumulate or
compound and all rights and claims in respect of such amounts shall be
fully and irrevocably cancelled and forfeited, and no payments shall be
made nor shall any Noteholders be entitled to any payment or indemnity in
respect thereof.
No restriction following cancellation of Interest Amounts
In the event that the Issuer exercises its discretion not to pay interest or is
prohibited from paying interest on any Interest Payment Date, it will not
give rise to any contractual restriction on the Issuer making distributions or
any other payments to the holders of any securities ranking pari passu with,
or junior to, the Additional Tier 1 Notes (or, for the avoidance of doubt,
Tier 2 instruments).
Loss Absorption and Reinstatement of Principal Amount
If, at any time, the Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio of the Issuer falls
below 5.125 per cent. (an Issuer Contingency Event) or the Common
Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio of the UniCredit Group falls below 5.125 per
cent. (a Group Contingency Event) or, in each case, the then minimum
9


General Description of the Programme
trigger event ratio for loss absorption applicable to Additional Tier 1
Capital instruments specified in the Relevant Regulations (excluding any
guidelines or policies of non-mandatory application) applicable to the
Issuer and/or the UniCredit Group (each, a Contingency Event), the Issuer
shall:
(a)
immediately notify the Competent Authority of the occurrence of the
relevant Contingency Event;
(b)
as soon as reasonably practicable deliver a Loss Absorption Event
Notice to Noteholders (in accordance with Condition 17 (Notices) of
the Terms and Conditions of the Notes), the Principal Paying Agent
and the Paying Agents (provided that failure or delay in delivering a
Loss Absorption Event Notice shall not constitute a default for any
purpose or in any way impact on the effectiveness of, or otherwise
invalidate, any Write-Down);
(c)
cancel any accrued and unpaid interest up to (but excluding) the
Write-Down Effective Date; and
(d)
without delay, and in any event within one month (or such shorter
period as the Competent Authority may require) from the
determination that the relevant Contingency Event has occurred,
reduce the then Prevailing Principal Amount of each Note by the
Write-Down Amount (such reduction being referred to as a Write-
Down and Written Down being construed accordingly).
Whether a Contingency Event has occurred at any time shall be determined
by the Issuer and the Competent Authority.
For the avoidance of doubt, even if the cancellation of interest pursuant to
Condition 8.1(c) of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes would cure the
relevant Contingency Event, the relevant Write-Down shall occur in any
event and any increase in the CET1 Ratio as a result of such cancellation
shall be disregarded for the purpose of calculating the relevant Write-Down
Amount in respect of such Contingency Event.
Any Write-Down of an Additional Tier 1 Note will be effected, save as may
otherwise be required by the Competent Authority and subject as otherwise
provided in these Conditions, pro rata with the Write-Down of the other
Additional Tier 1 Notes and with the concurrent (or substantially
