Alpha Trains Finance S.A. (the Issuer) has authorised the establishment of a multicurrency programme for the issuance of a single
class of Bonds designated as the Bonds (the Programme). There is no provision under the Programme for the issuance of other
classes of Bonds.
Each of Alpha Trains Holdco II S.à r.l. (the Parent), Alpha Trains Group S.à r.l. (AT Group ), Alpha Trains Iberia, S.A.U. (AT
Iberia), Alpha Trains Luxembourg S.à r.l. (AT Lux ), Alpha Trains Europa GmbH (AT Europa), Alpha Trains (Locomotives)

(AT ENR) (together, the Guarantors) has guaranteed the payments of all amounts due in respect of the Bonds pursuant to
guarantees which are secured over the property of each of the Guarantors.
Application has been made to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the CSSF) in its capacity as the competent
authority under the Prospectus Act 2005 dated 10 July 2005 on prospectuses for securities, as amended (the Prospectus Act 2005) to
approve this document as a prospectus. The CSSF assumes no responsibility for the financial soundness of the transactions
contemplated by this Prospectus or the quality or solvency of the Issuer in accordance with Article 7(7) of the Prospectus Act 2005.
Application has also been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the listing of the Bonds on the Official List of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admission to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market.
References in this Prospectus to Bonds being listed (and all related references) shall mean that such Bonds 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 Directive 2004/39/EC (the
Markets in Financial Instruments Directive). This Prospectus comprises a base prospectus for the purposes of EU Directive
2003/71/EC, as amended (which includes the amendments made by Directive 2010/73/EU to the extent that such amendments have
been implemented in the Relevant Member State) (the Prospectus Directive).
The Issuer may also issue unlisted Bonds and/or Bonds not admitted to trading on any regulated or unregulated market
(Exempt Bonds). Exempt Bonds do not form part of this Prospectus and will not be issued pursuant to this Prospectus and
the CSSF has neither approved nor reviewed information contained in this Prospectus in connection with the Exempt Bonds.
All Bonds will have the benefit of the Guarantee and share equally in the Security granted by the Obligors in respect of the
Charged Property.
The Bonds 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 Prospectus to the "relevant Dealer" shall, in
the case of an issue of Bonds being (or intended to be) subscribed by more than one Dealer or in respect of which subscriptions will
be procured by more than one Dealer, be to all Dealers agreeing to subscribe for such Bonds or to procure subscriptions for such
Bonds, as the case may be.
The Bonds have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the
Securities Act) or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the
United States and may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to U.S. persons
except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements
of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the Bonds are being offered,
sold or delivered (a) in the United States only to qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) (as defined in


2






Rule 144A (Rule 144A) under the Securities Act) in reliance on, and in compliance with, Rule 144A,
and (b) to Persons (other than U.S. Persons) (each as defined in Regulation S) outside the United
States in reliance on Regulation S (Regulation S) under the Securities Act. Each purchaser of the
Bonds will be deemed to have made the representations described in "Subscription and Sale" and is
hereby notified that the offer and sale of Bonds to it is being made in reliance on the exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. In addition, until 40 days
after the commencement of the offering, an offer or sale of any of the Bonds within the United States
by any dealer (whether or not participating in the offering) may violate the registration requirements
of the Securities Act if the offer or sale is made otherwise than in accordance with Rule 144A.
See "Risk Factors" below to read about certain factors that prospective investors should consider before buying any of the
Bonds.

Under the Programme, the Issuer may, subject to all applicable legal and regulatory requirements, from time to time issue Bonds in
bearer or registered form (respectively Bearer Bonds and Registered Bonds). Copies of the final terms for each Tranche of Bonds
to be admitted to the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the Final Terms) or the pricing supplement (in the case of
Exempt Bonds) (the Pricing Supplement) will be available (in the case of all Bonds) from the specified office set out below of BNP
Paribas Trust Corporation UK Limited as bond trustee (the Bond Trustee), (in the case of Bearer Bonds) from the specified office
set out below of each of the Paying Agents and (in the case of Registered Bonds) from the specified office set out below of each of
the Registrar and the Transfer Agent. Copies of the Prospectus, any supplement to the Prospectus and each Final Terms in relation to
the Bonds to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange will also be published on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
(www.bourse.lu).
Bonds issued under the Programme shall comprise a single class (the Bonds). Bonds will be issued in series on each Issue Date
(each a Series). The Bonds may comprise one or more tranches (each a Tranche), with each Tranche pertaining to, among other
things, the currency, interest rate and maturity date of the relevant Tranche. Each Tranche may be zero-coupon, fixed rate, floating
rate, index-linked or instalment Bonds and may be denominated in Sterling, Euro or U.S. dollars (or in other currencies subject to
compliance with applicable laws).
The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Bonds from time to time outstanding under the Programme will not exceed
5,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies calculated as described in this Prospectus) unless increased from time to time by
the Issuer.
Details of the aggregate principal amount, interest (if any) payable, the issue price and any other conditions not contained in this
Prospectus which are applicable to each Tranche of each Series of Bonds will be set forth in a set of Final Terms, Pricing Supplement
or in a separate prospectus specific to such Tranche (a Drawdown Prospectus). See "Final Terms, Pricing Supplements and
Drawdown Prospectuses" below.
In the case of a Tranche of Bonds which is the subject of a Drawdown Prospectus, each reference in this Prospectus to information
being specified or identified in the relevant Final Terms or Pricing Supplement, as the case may be, shall be read and construed as a
reference to such information being specified or identified in the relevant Drawdown Prospectus, unless the context requires
otherwise. In the case of Bonds to be admitted to the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the Final Terms will be
delivered to the CSSF on or before the relevant date of issue of the Bonds of such Tranche.
Ratings ascribed to all of the Bonds reflect only the views of Moody's Investor Services Ltd (Moody's) and Fitch Ratings Ltd (Fitch)
and, together with Moody's and any further or replacement rating agency appointed by the Issuer, the Rating Agencies). A credit
rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal at any time by
any one or all of the Rating Agencies. A suspension, reduction or withdrawal of the rating assigned to any of the Bonds may
adversely affect the market price of such Bonds.
Each of Moody's and Fitch is established in the European Union and is registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 as amended
(the CRA Regulation).
If any withholding or deduction for or on account of tax is applicable to the Bonds, payments on the Bonds will be made subject to
such withholding or deduction, without the Issuer being obliged to pay any additional amounts in consequence.
In the case of Bonds which are to be admitted to trading on a regulated market within the European Economic Area or offered to the
public in a member state of the European Economic Area in circumstances which require the publication of a prospectus under the
Prospectus Directive, the minimum specified denomination shall be 100,000 or not less than the equivalent of 100,000 in any other
currency as at the date of issue of such Bonds.
If issued under the relevant Final Terms or Pricing Supplement, as the case may be, Bonds that are Bearer Bonds may be represented
initially by one or more temporary global Bonds (each a Temporary Global Bond) (which may be held either in new global Bond
form or classic global Bond form), without interest coupons or principal receipts, which will be deposited with a common depositary
(in the case of Temporary Global Bonds in classic global Bond form) or a common safekeeper (in the case of Temporary Global
Bonds in new global Bond form) for Euroclear Bank SA/NV (Euroclear) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (Clearstream,
Luxembourg) on or about the Issue Date of such Tranche. Each such Temporary Global Bond will be exchangeable for a permanent
global Bond (each a Permanent Global Bond) or definitive Bonds in bearer form as specified in the relevant Final Terms or Pricing
Supplement following the expiration of 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the relevant Issue Date, upon
certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership and as may be required by U.S. tax laws and regulations, as described in the section
"Forms of the Bonds". Bearer Bonds are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the Bearer Bonds may
not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to United States persons.
If issued under the relevant Final Terms or Pricing Supplement, as the case may be, Bonds that are Registered Bonds will be
represented on issue by two global certificates in registered form (the Global Bonds), one of which will be issued in respect of the
Bonds offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A (the Rule 144A Global Bond) and the other of which will be issued in respect of
the Bonds offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S (the Regulation S Global Bond), both of which will be registered and will be
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for the Depository Trust Company (DTC) or the name of a nominee of a common
depositary for Euroclear, as operator of the Euroclear System, and Clearstream, Luxembourg. It is expected that delivery of the
Global Bonds will be made prior to the first date on which Bonds are issued under this Programme (the Initial Issue Date). Bonds in
definitive, certificated and fully registered form will be issued only in the limited circumstances described in this Prospectus. In each
case, purchasers and transferees of Bonds will be deemed to have made certain representations and agreements. See "Subscription
and Sale" below.

the Programme is correct or that there has been no adverse change in the financial position of the Issuer or
the other Obligors as of any time subsequent to the date indicated in the document containing such
information. None of the Dealers, the Arrangers, the Bond Trustee, the Security Trustee or any of the Hedge
Counterparties, the Original Initial ACF Lenders, the Original Initial ACF Lenders, Capex Facility
Providers, each Facility Agent under each Authorised Credit Facility, the Agents, the Initial Liquidity

be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus comes are required by the Issuer, the

Eurosystem monetary policy and intraday credit operations by the Eurosystem either upon issue or at any or
all times during their life. Such recognition will depend upon satisfaction of the Eurosystem eligibility
criteria.

will be obligations solely of the Issuer.

otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the Stabilising Manager(s) (or person(s) acting on
behalf of the Stabilising Manager) will undertake stabilisation action. Any stabilisation action may begin on
or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche of
Bonds 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 relevant Tranche of Bonds and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the
relevant Tranche of Bonds. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must be conducted by the relevant
Stabilising Manager(s) (or person(s) acting on behalf of the Stabilising Manager(s)) in accordance with all
applicable laws and rules.

including Bonds with principal or interest payable in one or more currencies, or where the currency
for principal or interest payments is different from the potential investor's currency;

indices and financial markets;

applicable risks.

whether and to what extent Bonds are legal investments for it. Bonds can be used as security for
indebtedness and other restrictions apply to the purchase or pledge of any Bonds. Financial institutions
should consult their legal advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of
Bonds under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.

issue of Bonds, that, if there shall occur between the time when this Prospectus is approved and the final
closing of any offer of Bonds, or as the case may be, the time when trading on the regulated market begins,

for the purpose of making an informed assessment of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and
losses and prospects of the Issuer and the rights attaching to the Bonds, the Issuer shall prepare a supplement

Luxembourg Law on Prospectuses for securities) or publish a replacement prospectus for use in connection
with any subsequent issue by the Issuer of Bonds and will supply to each Dealer and the Bond Trustee such
number of copies of such supplement hereto or replacement prospectus as such Dealer and Bond Trustee
may reasonably request. The Issuer will also supply to the CSSF (following approval of such supplement by
the CSSF) such number of copies of such supplement hereto or replacement prospectus as may be required
and will make copies available, free of charge, upon oral or written request, at the specified offices of the
Paying Agents and in respect of Registered Bonds, the Registrar and the Transfer Agent.
If the terms of the Programme are modified or amended in a manner which would make this Prospectus, as

supplement to this Prospectus or publish a replacement prospectus for use in connection with any subsequent
issue by the Issuer of Bonds.
