NOTICE TO INVESTORS
No person is authorized to give any information or to make any representations other than those
contained in this Prospectus and, if given or made, such information or representations must
not be relied upon as having been authorized by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Guarantor or
Banco Santander, S.A., Bank of China Limited, London Branch, BNP Paribas, Citigroup Global
Markets Europe AG, Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft, ING Bank N.V., J.P. Morgan Securities
plc, Merril Lynch International, MUFG Securities (Europe) N.V., Mizuho Securities Europe
GmbH and SMBC Nikko Capital Markets Europe GmbH (together, the "Joint Lead
Managers"). Neither the delivery of this Prospectus nor any offering, sale or delivery of any
Notes made hereunder shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that (i) the
information in this Prospectus is correct as of any time subsequent to the date hereof or, as the
case may be, subsequent to the date on which this Prospectus has been most recently
supplemented; (i ) there has been no adverse change in the financial situation of the Issuer or
the Guarantor which is material in the context of the issue and sale of the Notes since the date

other information supplied in connection with the issue of the Notes is correct at any time
subsequent to the date on which it is supplied or, if different, the date indicated in the document
containing the same.
This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements, including statements using the
words "believes", "anticipates", "intends", "expects" or other similar terms. This applies in
particular to statements under the caption "Information about the Guarantor and the ZF Group"
and statements elsewhere in this Prospectus relating to, among other things, the future financial
performance, plans and expectations regarding developments in the businesses of the Issuer
and the Guarantor. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks,
uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, including the
financial position and profitability of the Issuer or the Guarantor, to be materially different from


2



or worse than those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Neither the
Issuer nor the Guarantor assumes any obligation to update such forward-looking statements or
to adapt them to future events or developments.
This Prospectus contains non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, including adjusted EBIT,
adjusted EBIT margin, free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow, gross debt and net debt that are
not required by, or presented in accordance with, International Financial Reporting Standards
as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS"). The Guarantor presents non-IFRS financial
measures because some investors may find it helpful. The definitions of the non-IFRS financial
measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and
have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for analysis of our operating results as reported under IFRS. Non-IFRS financial measures and
ratios such as adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT margin, free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow,
gross debt and net debt should not be considered as alternatives to EBIT, net profit after tax,
cash flow from operating activities or any other performance or liquidity measures derived in
accordance with IFRS.
In accordance with commercial accounting, some numerical figures (including percentages) in
this Prospectus have been rounded to the nearest whole number. As a result, figures shown as
totals in some tables may not be the exact arithmetic aggregation of the rounded figures that
precede them. Percentages cited in the text, however, were calculated using the actual values
rather than the rounded values. Accordingly, in certain cases it is possible that the percentages
in the text differ from percentages based on the rounded values.
To the extent not otherwise indicated, the information contained in this Prospectus on the
market environment, market developments, growth rates, market trends and competition in the
markets in which the Issuer and the Group operate is taken from publicly available sources,
including, but not limited to, third-party studies or the Issuer's or Guarantor's own estimates that
are also primarily based on data or figures from publicly available sources. The information from
third-party sources that is cited here has been reproduced accurately. As far as the Issuer and
the Guarantor are aware and are able to ascertain from information published by such third-
party, no facts have been omitted which would render the reproduced information published
inaccurate or misleading.
This Prospectus also contains estimates of market data and information derived from these
estimates that would not be available from publications issued by market research firms or from
any other independent sources. This information is based on the Issuer's and Guarantor's
internal estimates and, as such, may differ from the estimates made by the Issuer's and
Guarantor's competitors or from data collected in the future by market research firms or other
independent sources. To the extent the Issuer or the Guarantor derived or summarized the
market information contained in this Prospectus from a number of different studies, an individual
study is not cited unless the respective information can be taken from it directly.
The Issuer and the Guarantor have not independently verified the market data and other
information on which third parties have based their studies or the external sources on which the
Issuer's own estimates are based. Therefore, neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor assume
responsibility for the accuracy of the information on the market environment, market
developments, growth rates, market trends and competitive situation presented in this
Prospectus from third-party studies or the accuracy of the information on which the Issuer's or
Guarantor's own estimates are based. Any statements regarding the market environment,
market developments, growth rates, market trends and competitive situation presented in this
Prospectus regarding ZF Group and its operating divisions contained in this Prospectus are
based on own estimates and/or analysis unless other sources are specified.
This Prospectus should be read and understood in conjunction with any supplement hereto and
with any documents incorporated herein by reference.

Neither the Joint Lead Managers nor any other person mentioned in this Prospectus, except
for the Issuer and the Guarantor, is responsible for the information contained in this Prospectus
or any other document incorporated herein by reference, and accordingly, and to the extent
permitted by the laws of any relevant jurisdiction, none of these persons accepts any
responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in any of these
documents.
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of Notes or an invitation by or on behalf of the
Issuer, the Guarantor or the Joint Lead Managers to purchase any Notes. Each investor
contemplating purchasing any Notes should make its own independent investigation of the
financial condition and affairs, and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Issuer and
the Guarantor. Neither this Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection with
the Notes should be considered as a recommendation by the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Joint
Lead Managers to a recipient hereof and thereof that such recipient should purchase any Notes.
The offer, sale and delivery of the Notes and the distribution of this Prospectus in certain
jurisdictions are restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus comes are

any such restrictions. In particular, the Notes and the Guarantees have not been, and wil not
be, registered under the Securities Act. Subject to certain limited exceptions, the Notes may
not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to U.S. persons.
PROHIBTION 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 ("EEA"). For these purposes, a
retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in Directive
2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II") or (i ) a customer within the meaning of Directive
2016/97/EU (as amended, 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.
Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as
amended 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 / PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS AND ELIGIBLE
COUNTERPARTIES ONLY TARGET MARKET ­ Solely for the purposes of the product
approval process conducted by each Joint Lead Manager who is a manufacturer for the
purposes of EU Delegated Directive 2017/593, the target market assessment in respect of the
Notes has led to the conclusion that, as of the date of this Prospectus: (i) the target market for
the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II,
and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional
clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, sel ing or recommending the Notes
(a "Distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers' 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 manufacturers' target
market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
SINGAPORE SECURITIES AND FUTURES ACT PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION ­ Solely for
the purposes of its obligations pursuant to sections 309B(1)(a) and 309B(1)(c) of the Securities
and Futures Act (Chapter 289 of Singapore) (the "SFA"), the Issuer has determined, and hereby
notifies al relevant persons (as defined in Section 309A of the SFA) that the Notes are
"prescribed capital markets products" (as defined in the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets
Products) Regulations 2018).
