verify the accuracy of all such information and statements.


NOTICE

This Prospectus should be read and understood in conjunction with any supplement hereto and with any other
document incorporated herein by reference. Full information on the Issuers and any tranche of Notes is only
available on the basis of the combination of this Prospectus and the relevant final terms (the "Final Terms").

Each of the Issuers accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Prospectus and has confirmed to
the dealers set forth on the cover page and any new dealer appointed from time to time under the Programme
(each a "Dealer" and together the "Dealers") that this Prospectus contains all information with regard to
HeidelbergCement and HC Finance Lux and the Notes which is necessary to enable investors to make an
informed assessment of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profit and losses and prospects of the
Issuers and the rights attaching to the Notes which is material in the context of the Programme, that the
information contained in this Prospectus with respect to HeidelbergCement and HC Finance Lux and the Notes

expressed herein with respect to HeidelbergCement and HC Finance Lux and the Notes are honestly held, that
there are no other facts with respect to HeidelbergCement and HC Finance Lux or the Notes the omission of
which would make this Prospectus as a whole or any of such information or the expression of any such
opinions or intentions misleading in any material respect and that the Issuers have made all reasonable
enquiries to ascertain all facts material for the purposes aforesaid.

Each of the Issuers has undertaken with the Dealers to publish a supplement to this Prospectus or to publish a
new Prospectus if and when the information herein should become materially inaccurate or incomplete or in the
event of any significant new factor, material mistake or inaccuracy relating to the information included in this
Prospectus which is capable of affecting the assessment of the Notes and, where approval by the CSSF of any
such document is required, upon such approval having been given.

No person has been authorized to give any information which is not contained in or not consistent with this
Prospectus or any other information supplied in connection with the Programme and, if given or made, such
information must not be relied upon as having been authorized by or on behalf of any Issuer or any of the
Dealers.

The offering, sale or delivery of any Notes may not be taken as an implication that the information contained in
such documents is accurate and complete subsequent to their respective dates of issue or that there has been
no adverse change in the financial condition of the Issuers and the Guarantor since such date or that any other
information supplied in connection with the Programme is accurate at any time subsequent to the date on
which it is supplied or, if different, the date indicated in the document containing the same.

To the extent permitted by the laws of any relevant jurisdiction, neither the Arranger nor any Dealer nor any
person mentioned in this document other than the Issuers accepts any responsibility for the accuracy and



3
completeness of the information contained in this Prospectus or any supplement hereof, or any other document
incorporated by reference nor for the information contained in any Final Terms.

The distribution of this Prospectus and any Final Terms and the offering, sale and delivery of Notes in certain
jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus or any Final Terms
comes are required to inform themselves about and observe any such restrictions. For a description of the
restrictions applicable in the United States of America, the European Economic Area in general, the United
Kingdom, the Netherlands, Japan and Italy, see "Selling Restrictions". In particular, the Notes have not been
and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act")
and are subject to tax law requirements of the United States of America; subject to certain exceptions, Notes
may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States of America or to U.S. persons.
The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which
will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the
Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor")
should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to Directive
2014/65/EU (as amended, "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 will 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.
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 ("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 MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC (as amended, the
"Insurance Mediation Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in
point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive.
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.

The language of the Prospectus is English. Any part of the Prospectus in the German language constitutes a
translation. In respect of the issue of any Tranche (as defined below) of Notes under the Programme, the
German text of the Terms and Conditions may be controlling and binding if so specified in the relevant Final
Terms. In respect of the Guarantee the German language version of the Guarantee is controlling and binding
as to form and content, and all rights and obligations of the Holders and the Guarantor thereunder.

This Prospectus may be used for subsequent offers by the Dealers and/or further financial
intermediaries only for the period so specified in the Final Terms for the relevant Tranche of Notes.
Neither this Prospectus nor any Final Terms may be used for the purpose of an offer or solicitation by
anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized or to any person to
whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation.

Neither this Prospectus nor any Final Terms constitute an offer or invitation by or on behalf of the
relevant Issuer or the Dealers to any person to subscribe for or to purchase any Notes.

In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the
stabilizing manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any stabilizing manager(s)) in the applicable
Final Terms may over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the price of the Notes
at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, stabilization may not necessarily
occur. Any stabilization 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 and 60 days after the date of the
allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes. Any stabilization action or over-allotment must be


4
conducted by the relevant stabilizing manager(s) (or person(s) acting on behalf of any stabilizing
manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.

Any websites included in the Prospectus, except for the website www.bourse.lu in the context of the documents
incorporated by reference, are for information purposes only and do not form part of the Prospectus.

Amounts payable under Floating Rate Notes are calculated by reference to (i) EURIBOR (Euro Interbank
Offered Rate) which is provided by the European Money Markets Institute (EMMI) or (ii) LIBOR (London
Interbank Offered Rate) which is provided by the ICE Benchmark Association (IBA). As at the date of this
Prospectus, EMMI does not appear whereas IBA appears on the register of administrators and benchmarks
established and maintained by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) pursuant to Article 36 of
the Benchmarks Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/1011) ("BMR"). As far as the Issuers are aware, the
transitional provisions in Article 51 of the BMR apply, such that EMMI is not currently required to obtain
authorization or registration (or, if located outside the European Union, recognition, endorsement or
equivalence).

Forward-Looking Statements

This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements. A forward-looking statement is a statement that
does not relate to historical facts and events. They are based on analyses or forecasts of future results and
estimates of amounts not yet determinable or foreseeable. These forward-looking statements are identified by
the use of terms and phrases such as "anticipate", "believe", "could", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "may",
"plan", "predict", "project", "will" and similar terms and phrases, including references and assumptions. This
applies, in particular, to statements in this Prospectus containing information on future earning capacity, plans
and expectations regarding HeidelbergCement Group's business and management, its growth and profitability,
and general economic and regulatory conditions and other factors that affect it.

Forward-looking statements in this Prospectus are based on current estimates and assumptions that the
Issuers make to the best of their present knowledge. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks,
uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results, including HeidelbergCement Group's financial
condition and results of operations, to differ materially from and be worse than results that have expressly or
implicitly been assumed or described in these forward-looking statements. HeidelbergCement Group's
business is also subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause a forward-looking statement,
estimate or prediction in this Prospectus to become inaccurate. Accordingly, investors are strongly advised to
read the following sections of this Prospectus: "Risk Factors", "HeidelbergCement AG" and "HeidelbergCement
Finance Luxembourg S.A.". These sections include more detailed descriptions of factors that might have an
impact on HeidelbergCement Group's business and the markets in which it operates.

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, future events described in this Prospectus may not occur.
In addition, neither the Issuers nor the Dealers assume any obligation, except as required by law, to update
any forward-looking statement or to conform these forward-looking statements to actual events or
developments.
