Prospectus"), Fiat Finance and Trade Ltd. société anonyme ("FFT"), Fiat Finance Canada Ltd. ("FFC") and Fiat Finance North America, Inc.
("FFNA") (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 (each as defined below). The payments of all amounts due in respect of Notes will be
unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Fiat S.p.A. ("Fiat" or the "Guarantor'').
An investment in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. For a discussion of these risks see, "Risk Factors".
Application has been made to the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority (the "IFSRA"), as competent authority under the Prospectus
Directive, for the Base Prospectus to be approved. Such approval relates only to the Notes which are to be admitted to trading on the Regulated
Market (as defined below) or other regulated market for the purposes of Directive 93/22/EEC or which are to be offered to the public in any
member state of the European Economic Area. There can be no assurance that any such admission to trading will be obtained. Application has
been made to the Irish Stock Exchange Limited (the "Irish Stock Exchange") for Notes issued under the Programme during the 12 months from
the date of the Base Prospectus to be admitted to the Official List and to be listed on the Regulated Market of the Irish Stock Exchange. References
in the Base Prospectus to "Irish Stock Exchange" (and all related references) shall mean the Regulated Market. In addition, references in the Base
Prospectus to the Notes being "listed" (and all related references) shall mean that such Notes have been admitted to trading on and are listed on
the Irish Stock Exchange or, as the case may be, an FIMD Regulated Market (as defined below). The Regulated Market of the Irish Stock
Exchange is a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 93/22/EEC (the "Financial Instrument Markets Directive") and each such regulated
market being an "FIMD Regulated Market". This document may be used to list Notes on the regulated market of the Irish Stock Exchange (the
"Regulated Market") pursuant to the Programme. The Programme provides that Notes may be listed on such other or further stock exchange(s)
as may be agreed between the relevant Issuer, the Guarantor and the relevant Dealer. Each Issuer may also issue unlisted Notes. The maximum
aggregate nominal amount of all Notes from time to time outstanding under the Programme will not exceed Euro 15,000,000,000 (or its
equivalent in other currencies, subject to increase as provided herein). The Notes will be issued in such denominations as may be agreed between
the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s) and as specified in the applicable Final Terms, save that the minimum denomination of each Note
will be such amount as may be allowed or required from time to time by the relevant central bank (or equivalent body) or any laws or regulations
applicable to the relevant Specified Currency and save that the minimum denomination of each Note admitted to trading on a regulated market
situated or operating within the European Economic Area (the "EEA") and/or offered to the public in an EEA State in circumstances which require
the publication of a prospectus under the Prospectus Directive will be 50,000 (or, if the Notes are denominated in a currency other than euro,
the equivalent amount in such currency).
Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the issue price of Notes and any other terms and
conditions not contained herein which are applicable to each Tranche (as defined under "Terms and Conditions of the Notes") of Notes will be
set out in final terms (the "Final Terms") which, with respect to Notes to be listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, will be delivered to the IFSRA
on or before the date of issue of the Notes of such Tranche. Copies of the Final Terms relating to Notes which are listed on the Irish Stock
Exchange or offered in circumstances which require a prospectus to be published will be available free of charge, at the registered office of each
Issuer and the Guarantor.
