an endorsement of the quality of any Covered Bonds (as defined below) that are the subject of this Base Prospectus.
Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in the Covered Bonds. This Base

This Base Prospectus shall be valid for use only by the Issuer or others who have obtained the Issuer's
consent for a period of up to 12 months after its approval by the AFM and shall expire on 20 May 2023,
at the latest. The obligation to supplement this Base Prospectus, in the event of significant new factors,
material mistakes or material inaccuracies only, shall cease to apply upon the expiry of the validity
period of this Base Prospectus.


Under this 25,000,000,000 covered bond programme (the "Programme"), Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A. (the
"Issuer" or "Rabobank") may from time to time issue covered bonds with an extendable maturity date in global or
definitive form and in bearer or registered form (the "Covered Bonds") denominated in any currency agreed
between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s).

Rabo Covered Bond Company B.V. (the "CBC") will as an independent obligation irrevocably undertake to pay
scheduled interest and scheduled principal payable under the Covered Bonds pursuant to a guarantee issued under
the Trust Deed and will pledge to Stichting Security Trustee Rabo Covered Bond Company (the "Trustee") the
Transferred Assets and certain other assets as security therefor. Recourse against the CBC under its guarantee
will be limited to the Transferred Assets and such other assets of the CBC.

The aggregate nominal amount of all Covered Bonds from time to time outstanding under the Programme will not
exceed 25,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies calculated as described in the Programme Agreement
described herein), subject to any increase as described herein.

The Covered Bonds may be issued on a continuing basis to purchasers thereof, which may include any dealer or
dealers, including any affiliates of the Issuer, appointed under the Programme from time to time by the Issuer (each
a "Dealer" and together the "Dealers"). Such appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis. The
Dealer or Dealers who (intend to) subscribe an issue of any Covered Bonds is or are (as the case may be)
collectively referred to as the "relevant Dealers" in respect of those Covered Bonds.

The minimum denomination of Covered Bonds offered by the Issuer will be (i) such denomination as may be allowed
or required from time to time by the relevant central bank or regulatory authority (or equivalent body) or any laws or
regulations applicable to the relevant Specified Currency (as defined below) and (ii) in respect of Covered Bonds
which will be offered to the public within a member state of the European Economic Area for which the Issuer will
seek their admission to trading on a regulated market situated or operating within such a member state, in each
case in circumstances which would require the approval of a prospectus under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as
amended, the "Prospectus Regulation"), 100,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency at the date of issue of
the Covered Bonds).

Application may be made for Covered Bonds issued under the Programme to be admitted to listing on (i) Euronext
in Amsterdam ("Euronext Amsterdam"), (ii) the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the "Luxembourg
Stock Exchange Official List") and admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange (the "Luxembourg Stock Exchange") or (iii) such other or further stock exchange(s) or market as may
be agreed between the Issuer, the CBC, the Trustee and the relevant Dealer or Dealers. Each of Euronext
Amsterdam and the Luxembourg Stock Exchange Official List is a regulated market for the purposes of Directive
2014/65/EU (as amended, "EU MiFID II"). The Issuer may also issue unlisted and/or privately placed Covered
Bonds. The relevant final terms to this Base Prospectus (the "Final Terms") in respect of the issue of any Covered
Bonds will specify whether such Covered Bonds will be listed on Euronext Amsterdam or the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange Official List (or any other stock exchange) or whether the Covered Bonds will be unlisted. References in
this Base Prospectus to Covered Bonds being "listed" (and all related references) shall mean that such Covered
Bonds have been admitted to trading and have been listed on Euronext Amsterdam, the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange Official List and the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or such other or further stock
exchange(s) or market which may be agreed between the Issuer, the CBC, any Dealer and the Trustee.

Covered Bonds, the issue price of such Covered Bonds and any other terms and conditions not contained herein
which are applicable to each Tranche (as defined under section 1.3 (Terms and Conditions of Covered Bonds)
below) of such Covered Bonds will be set out in the Final Terms substantially in the form as set out herein, which,
with respect to such Covered Bonds to be listed on Euronext Amsterdam, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange Official
List or on such other or further stock exchange(s) or market(s) as may be agreed and specified in the applicable
Final Terms, will be delivered to Euronext Amsterdam, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or on such other or further
stock exchange(s) or market(s) on or before the date of issue of such Tranche.

The Issuer and the CBC may agree with any Dealer and the Trustee that Covered Bonds will be issued in a form
not contemplated by the Conditions of the Covered Bonds set out herein, in which event a supplement, if appropriate,
will be made available which will describe the effect of the agreement reached in relation to such Covered Bonds.

The Covered Bonds of each Tranche shall be either in bearer form or in registered form. Bearer Covered Bonds
will (unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms) initially be represented by a Global Covered Bond.
Global Covered Bonds will be deposited on or about the issue date thereof either (a) with a common safekeeper of
Euroclear Bank SA/NV as operator of the Euroclear System ("Euroclear") and/or Clearstream Banking, société
anonyme ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"), (b) with Nederlands Centraal Instituut voor Giraal Effectenverkeer B.V.

Series which contains one or more Tranches offered or sold in reliance on Rule 144A, by way of a Registered
Global Covered Bond certificate (all as defined herein). See section 1.1 (Form of Covered Bonds) below.

security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction
or withdrawal at any time by the assigning Rating Agency (as defined in section 2 (Asset-Backed Guarantee) below).
Moody's is established in the European Economic Area and registered under the Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of
the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on credit rating agencies, as amended (the
"CRA Regulation"). Where a Tranche of Covered Bonds is rated, the applicable rating(s) will be specified in the
relevant Final Terms. Whether or not a rating in relation to any Tranche of Covered Bonds will be treated as having
been issued in accordance with the CRA Regulation by a credit rating agency established in the European Union
and registered under the CRA Regulation or by a credit rating agency outside the European Union of which the
credit ratings assigned are endorsed by a credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered in
accordance with the CRA Regulation will be disclosed in the relevant Final Terms.

system(s) to whose securities account(s) with such clearing system(s) the
beneficial interests in such Permanent Global Covered Bond or Registered

Bonds:
between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer or Dealers and as specified in the
applicable Final Terms save that (i) the minimum denomination of each
Covered Bond will be such as may be allowed or required from time to time by
the relevant central bank or regulatory authority (or equivalent body) or any laws
or regulations applicable to the relevant Specified Currency and (ii) the
minimum denomination of each Covered Bond which will be offered to the
public within a member state of the EEA or which will be admitted to trading on
a regulated market situated or operating within such a member state, in each
case in circumstances which would require the approval of a prospectus under
the Prospectus Regulation, will be at least 100,000 (or its equivalent in any
other currency at the date of issue of the Covered Bonds).
Taxation:
All payments in respect of the Covered Bonds will be made without withholding
or deduction of taxes, unless required by law. In the event that any such
withholding or deduction is imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Tax
Jurisdiction, the Issuer will make the required withholding or deduction and,
save in the circumstances as provided in Condition 7 (Taxation), be required to
pay additional amounts to cover the amounts so withheld or deducted or, if the
Issuer elects, it may redeem the Series affected. The CBC will not be required
or liable to pay any such additional amounts under the Guarantee.
FATCA Withholding:
The Issuer and the CBC shall be permitted to withhold or deduct any amounts
required pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue
Code 1986 (as amended), any regulations or agreements thereunder, any
official interpretations thereof or any law implementing an intergovernmental
agreement thereto (FATCA Withholding). The Issuer and the CBC will have no
obligation to pay additional amounts or otherwise indemnify an investor for any
such FATCA Withholding deducted or withheld by the Issuer, the CBC, a Paying
Agent, the Registrar or any other party.
Default:
None of the Covered Bonds will accelerate automatically on an Issuer Event of
Default or a CBC Event of Default. All Covered Bonds will accelerate following
a failure to pay (subject to applicable grace periods) by the Issuer or the CBC
in respect of any Series (or any other Issuer Event of Default or CBC Event of
Default) if (a) the Trustee exercises its discretion to accelerate or (b) the Trustee
accelerates following an instruction to accelerate by a Programme Resolution.
Use of Proceeds:
The net proceeds from each issue of Covered Bonds will be used by the Issuer
for (i) its general corporate purposes or (ii) such other purposes as further
specified in the Final Terms. The Issuer may issue Covered Bonds under the
Programme where the use of proceeds is specified in the applicable Final
Terms to be for the financing and/or refinancing of mortgage loans for Green
Buildings, in accordance with certain prescribed eligibility criteria as in such
case shall be set out in item 4(i) of Part B (Reasons for the offer) of the
applicable Final Terms.
