GENERAL INFORMATION
Consent to the Use of the Prospectus
With respect to Article 3 (2) of the Prospectus Directive, the relevant Issuer may consent, to the extent
and under the conditions, if any, indicated in the relevant Final Terms, to the use of the Prospectus for
a certain period of time or as long as the Prospectus is valid in accordance with Article 11 (2) of the
Luxembourg act relating to prospectuses for securities (Loi relative aux prospectus pour valeurs
mobilières) which implements the Prospectus Directive and accepts responsibility for the content of the
Prospectus also with respect to subsequent resale or final placement of Notes by any financial
intermediary which was given consent to use the prospectus, if any. For further information, please refer
below to the Part C ("CONSENT TO THE USE OF THE PROSPECTUS") of this Prospectus and the
relevant Final Terms.
Requirements
This Prospectus contains as of the date hereof all such information as investors and their professional
advisers would reasonably require, and reasonably expect to find, for the purpose of making an informed
assessment of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses, and prospects of the
Issuers and the Guarantor and of the rights attached to the relevant Notes.
Responsibility of the Dealers
The Dealers have not independently verified the information contained herein. Accordingly, no
representation, warranty or undertaking, whether expressed or implied, is made, and no responsibility
is accepted, by the Dealers (in their capacity as Dealers) with respect to the accuracy or completeness
of this Prospectus or any further information supplied in connection with the Programme. The Dealers
accept no liability in relation to this Prospectus or its distribution or with regard to other information
supplied by the Issuers or the Guarantor herein, save for mandatory provisions of law.
In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, certain Dealers and their affiliates may
make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related
derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the
accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or
instruments of the Issuer or Issuer's affiliates. Certain of the Dealers or their affiliates that have a lending
relationship with the Issuer routinely hedge their credit exposure to the Issuer consistent with their
customary risk management policies. Typical y, such Dealers and their affiliates would hedge such
exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or
the creation of short positions in securities, including potential y the Notes issued under the Programme.
Any such positions could adversely affect future trading prices of Notes issued under the Programme.
The Dealers and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express
independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or
recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.
Exclusiveness
The Issuers and the Guarantor have not authorised the making or provision of any representation or
information regarding the Issuers or the Notes other than as contained or incorporated by reference in
this Prospectus, or any final terms the form of which is described in Part F.IV of this Prospectus (for each
Tranche, the "Final Terms", which document may also include information relating to the relevant
Tranche of Notes other than the relevant Terms and Conditions (as defined below)) or as approved for
such purpose by the Issuers. Any such representation or information should not be relied upon as having
been authorised by any Issuer or Dealer or the Guarantor.
Significance of Delivery
Neither the delivery of this Prospectus and any Final Terms nor the offering, sale or delivery of any Note
shal in any circumstances create any implication that there has been no adverse change in the financial
situation of any Issuer or the Guarantor since the date hereof.
The delivery of this Prospectus or any Final Terms or the offering, sale or delivery of any Note does not
at any time imply that the information contained herein concerning the Issuers and the Guarantor is
correct at any time subsequent to the date thereof or that any other written information delivered in
6

connection therewith is correct as at any time subsequent to the date indicated in the document
containing the same.
Restriction on Distribution
The distribution of this Prospectus and any Final Terms and the offering, sale and delivery of the Notes
in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus comes
are required by the Issuers, the Guarantor and the Dealers to inform themselves about and to observe
any such restrictions. For a description of certain restrictions on offers, sales and deliveries of Notes
and on distribution of this Prospectus and other offering material relating to the Notes please refer to the
Selling Restrictions set out in Part G of this Prospectus. In particular, the Notes and the Guarantee have
not been, and wil not be, registered under the Securities Act and may include Notes in bearer form
which are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes and the
Guarantee may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to, or for the account or
benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act).
Exclusion
This Prospectus on its own does not constitute an offer or an invitation to subscribe for or purchase any
Notes and should not be considered as a recommendation by any Issuer, the Guarantor or any Dealer
that any recipient of this Prospectus should subscribe for or purchase any Notes. Each recipient shall
be taken to have made its own investigation and appraisal of the financial condition and affairs as well
as of the creditworthiness of any Issuer and of the Guarantor. This Prospectus may not be used for the
purpose of an offer or solicitation by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not
authorised or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation. This Prospectus is
not intended to provide the basis of any credit or other evaluation.
Stabilisation
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the
stabilising manager(s) in the applicable Final Terms (or persons acting on behalf of a stabilizing
manager) may over-allot 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, stabilisation may not
necessarily occur. 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 Notes is made and, if begun, may cease
at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant
Tranche or Notes and 60 days after the date of the al otment of the relevant Tranche of Notes.
Any such stabilisation action so taken will be, in all material respects, permitted by or otherwise
in accordance with all relevant requirements applicable to such actions in the jurisdictions where
such actions are effected (including rules and other regulatory requirements governing any
stock exchange where such Notes are listed).
Benchmark Regulation
Interest amounts payable under floating rate Notes may be calculated by reference to (i) Euro Interbank
Offered Rate (the "EURIBOR"), which is currently provided by the European Money Markets Institute
("EMMI"), or (ii) the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), which is currently provided by ICE
Benchmark Administration ("IBA"), or (i i) the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA"), which is
currently provided by the Bank of England, or (iv) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"),
which is currently provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. As at the date of this Prospectus,
SONIA and SOFR do not fall within the scope of the Benchmark Regulation (Regulation (EU)
2016/1011) (the "Benchmark Regulation"). As at the date of this Prospectus, IBA does appear on the
register of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by the European Securities and
Markets Authority ("ESMA") pursuant to Article 36 of the Benchmark Regulation. As at the date of this
Prospectus, EMMI does not appear on the register of administrators and benchmarks established and
maintained by ESMA pursuant to Article 36 of the Benchmark Regulation. As far as the Issuer is aware,
the transitional provisions in Article 51 of the Benchmark Regulation apply, such that EMMI is not
currently required to obtain authorisation or registration (or, if located outside the European Union,
recognition, endorsement or equivalence).
7

IMPORTANT EEA RETAIL INVESTORS
If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes include a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail
Investors", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not
be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (the
"EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client
as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); (i ) a customer
within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU (as amended or superseded, the "Insurance Distribution
Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of
Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii ) not a qualified investor as defined in Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended
or superseded, the "Prospectus Directive"). Consequently, no key information document required by
Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended or superseded, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or
selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared
and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in
the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPS Regulation.
MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET
The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance"
which wil outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which channels for
distribution of the Notes are appropriate in each case as of the date of the relevant Final Terms. Any
person subsequently offering, sel ing or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into
consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for
undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the
target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
A determination wil be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID
Product Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product Governance
Rules"), any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise
neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates wil be a manufacturer for the
purpose of the MiFID Product Governance Rules.
