assumes no responsibility for the economic and financial soundness of the transactions contemplated by this Offering Circular or the quality
or solvency of the Issuers in accordance with Article 7(7) of the Prospectus Act 2005.
The Programme provides that Notes may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or additional stock exchange(s), or
market(s), as may be agreed between the relevant Issuer, the Guarantor (in the case of Guaranteed Notes) and the relevant Dealer. References in this
Offering Circular to Notes being listed (and all related references) shall mean that such Notes have been admitted to the official list and to trading on
(i) the Regulated Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or (ii) the Euro MTF Market.
Notice of, inter alia, the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes and the issue price of Notes which are
applicable to each Tranche of Notes will be set out in the applicable Final Terms (the Final Terms) which, with respect to all Notes to be listed on the

jurisdiction of the United States, and the Notes may include Bearer Notes that are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. The Notes may not be offered
or sold or, in the case of Bearer Notes, delivered in the United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the
Securities Act (Regulation S)) unless the Notes are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the

IMPORTANT INFORMATION RELATING TO OFFERS OF NON-EXEMPT PD NOTES WHERE
THERE IS NO EXEMPTION FROM THE OBLIGATION UNDER THE PROSPECTUS
DIRECTIVE TO PUBLISH A PROSPECTUS
Restrictions on offers of Non-Exempt PD Notes in Relevant Member States where there is no
exemption from the obligation under the Prospectus Directive to publish a prospectus
Non-Exempt PD Notes 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 Offering Circular has been prepared on a basis that permits Non-exempt Offers of Non-Exempt
PD Notes. However, any person making or intending to make a Non-exempt Offer of Non-Exempt PD
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 Offering Circular 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 NAB has consented to the use of this Offering
Circular in connection with such offer as provided under "Consent given in accordance with Article 3.2 of
the Prospectus Directive (Retail Cascades)" below and the conditions attached to that consent are complied
with by the person making the Non-exempt Offer of such Non-Exempt PD Notes.
Save as provided above, neither the Issuer nor any Dealer has authorised, nor do they authorise, the making
of any Non-exempt Offer of Non-Exempt PD Notes in circumstances in which an obligation arises for NAB
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 Non-Exempt PD Notes, NAB accepts responsibility, in the
jurisdictions to which the consent to use the Offering Circular extends, for the content of this Offering
Circular 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 NAB has given consent to the use of this
Offering Circular (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 NAB 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 NAB or any Dealer has any responsibility or liability for the
actions of that Authorised Offeror.
0083121-0000178 ICM:15901154.17

Save as provided below, neither the Issuer nor any Dealer has authorised the making of any Non-
exempt Offer by any offeror and NAB has not consented to the use of this Offering Circular by any
other person in connection with any Non-exempt Offer of Non-Exempt PD Notes. Any Non-exempt
Offer made without the consent of NAB is unauthorised and neither NAB nor 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 Offering Circular 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 Offering Circular and/or who is
responsible for its contents it should take legal advice.
