Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017, as amended (the "Prospectus Regulation") of E.ON SE in respect of non-equity

Debt Issuance Programme
(the "Programme")

This Prospectus has been approved by the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier of the Grand Duchy
of Luxembourg (the "CSSF") as competent authority under the Prospectus Regulation. The CSSF only approves this Prospectus
as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the Prospectus Regulation. Such
approval should not be considered as an endorsement of the Issuer or of the quality of the Notes that are the subject of this
Prospectus. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in the Notes.
Application has been made to list Notes to be issued under the Programme on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
and trade Notes on the market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange appearing on the list of regulated markets issued by the
European Commission (Regulated Market "Bourse de Luxembourg") (the "Regulated Market") or on the professional segment
of the Regulated Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The Luxembourg Stock Exchange's Regulated Market is a regulated
market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID I "). Notes issued
under the Programme may also not be listed at all.
The Issuer has requested the CSSF in its capacity as competent authority under the Prospectus Regulation and the Luxembourg
act relating to prospectuses for securities dated 16 July 2019 (Loi du 16 juillet 2019 relative aux prospectus pour valeurs mobilières
et portant mise en oeuvre du règlement (UE) 2017/1129, the "Luxembourg Law") to provide the competent authorities in the
Federal Republic of Germany ("Germany") and The Netherlands with a certificate of approval attesting that the Prospectus has

solvency of the issuer in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(4) of the Luxembourg Law.

States of America, the European Economic Area in general, the United Kingdom, Italy, Japan and
Singapore see "Selling Restrictions". In particular, the Notes have not been and wil not be registered

3
under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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.
Product classification requirements in Singapore: The Notes are prescribed capital markets
products (as defined in the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018) and
Excluded Investment Products (as defined in MAS Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment
Products and MAS Notice FAA-N16: Notice on Recommendations on Investment Products).
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. Any person subsequently offering, selling 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 will 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
AND UK RETAIL INVESTORS", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made

European Economic Area ("EEA") or in the United Kingdom (the "UK"). 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 (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; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus
Regulation. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as
amended, the "PRI Ps Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available
to retail investors in the EEA or in the UK has been prepared and, therefore, offering or sel ing the Notes
or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or in the UK may be unlawful under
the PRIIPs Regulation.

English language sets of Terms and Conditions are shown in the Prospectus for additional information.

be issued, German is the controlling legal y binding language if so specified in the relevant Final Terms.
Interest 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 (i )
LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) which is provided by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited
(IBA), or (ii ) NIBOR (Norwegian Interbank Offered Rate) which is provided by Norske Finansiel e
Referanser AS (NoRe), or (iv) STIBOR (Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate) which is provided by the
Swedish Bankers' Association (SBA). As at the date of this Prospectus, each of EMMI and IBA appears

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 Issuer is
aware, the transitional provisions in Article 51 of the BMR apply, such that NoRe and SBA are not
currently required to obtain authorisation or registration (or, if located outside the European Union,
recognition, endorsement or equivalence).
Each Dealer and/or each further financial intermediary subsequently resel ing or final y placing
Notes issued under the Programme may be entitled to use the Prospectus, as further described
in "Consent to the Use of the Prospectus" below.
This Prospectus and any supplement hereto may only be used for the purpose for which it has
been published.

4
This Prospectus and any supplement hereto and any Final Terms 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 an offer or solicitation.
This Prospectus and any Final Terms do not constitute an offer or an invitation to subscribe for
or purchase any Notes.
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes under the Programme, the Dealer or Dealers
(if any) named as Stabilising Manager(s) (the "Stabilising Manager(s)") in the applicable Final
Terms (or persons acting on behalf of a Stabilising Manager) 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, stabilisation may not necessarily occur. Any stabilisation
action may begin at any time after the adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the
relevant Tranche of the Notes 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 of Notes and 60 days after the
date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment
must be conducted by the relevant Stabilising Manager(s) (or person(s) acting on behalf of any
Stabilising Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.

context of the documents incorporated by reference, do not form part of the Prospectus and has not
been scrutinised or approved by the CSSF.
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 E.ON 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 Issuer makes to the best of its present knowledge. These forward-looking statements are subject to
risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results, including E.ON Group's financial
condition and results of operations, to differ material y from and be worse than results that have
expressly or implicitly been assumed or described in these forward-looking statements. E.ON 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 fol owing sections of this Prospectus: "Risk Factors", "E.ON SE as Issuer"
and such parts of the documents incorporated by reference into this Prospectus as set out under
"Documents incorporated by Reference" below. These sections include more detailed descriptions of
factors that might have an impact on E.ON 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 Issuer 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.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMME
I. General
Under this 35,000,000,000 Debt Issuance Programme, E.ON SE may from time to time issue notes,
(the "Notes") to one or more of the Dealers (as defined herein). The maximum aggregate principal
amount of the Notes from time to time outstanding under the Programme wil not exceed
35,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency). The Issuer may increase the amount of the
Programme in accordance with the terms of the Dealer Agreement from time to time.
Notes wil be issued to one or more Dealers and any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme
from time to time by the Issuer(s), which appointment may be for a specific issue or on a permanent
basis. Notes may be distributed by way of offers to the public or private placements and, in each case,
on a syndicated or non-syndicated basis. The method of distribution of each tranche of Notes (the
"Tranche") wil be stated in the applicable final terms. The Notes may be offered to qualified and non-
qualified investors, unless the applicable Final Terms include a legend entitled "PROHIBITION OF
SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS".
Notes wil be issued in Tranches, each Tranche consisting of Notes which are identical in al respects.
One or more Tranches, which are expressed to be consolidated and forming a single series and identical
in all respects, but having different issue dates, interest commencement dates, issue prices and dates
for first interest payments may form a series ("Series") of Notes. Further Notes may be issued as part
of existing Series.
Notes wil be issued in such denominations as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant
Dealer(s) and as indicated in the applicable Final Terms save that the minimum denomination of the
Notes wil be, if in euro, 1,000, or, if in any currency other than euro, in an amount in such other currency
nearly equivalent to 1,000 at the time of the issue of Notes. Subject to any applicable legal or regulatory
restrictions, and requirements of relevant central banks, Notes may be issued in euro or any other
currency. Notes wil be issued with a maturity of twelve months or more. The Notes wil be freely
transferable.
Notes may be issued at an issue price of par or at a discount to, or premium over, par, as stated in the
applicable Final Terms. The issue price for Notes to be issued wil be determined at the time of pricing
on the basis of a yield which wil be determined on the basis of the orders of the investors which are
received by the Dealers during the offer period. Orders wil specify a minimum yield and may only be
confirmed at or above such yield. The resulting yield will be used to determine an issue price, al to
correspond to the yield.
The yield for Notes with fixed interest rates wil be calculated by the use of the ICMA method, which
determines the effective interest rate of notes taking into account accrued interest on a daily basis.
The Risk Factors included in this Prospectus are limited to risks which are (i) specific to E.ON SE as
Issuer as wel as the Notes, and (i ) are material for taking an informed investment decision. They are
presented in a limited number of categories depending on their nature. In each category the most
material risk factor is mentioned first.
Under this Prospectus a summary wil only be drawn up in relation to an issue of Notes with a
denomination of less than 100,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies). Such an issue-specific
summary wil be annexed to the applicable Final Terms.
Application has been made to list Notes on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to
trade Notes on the Regulated Market "Bourse de Luxembourg". Notes may further be issued under the
Programme which wil not be listed on any stock exchange.
Banque de Luxembourg wil act as Luxembourg Listing Agent and Citibank Europe plc will act as fiscal
agent (the "Fiscal Agent") and as paying agent (the "Paying Agent") under the Programme.
Notes wil be accepted for clearing through one or more Clearing Systems as specified in the applicable
Final Terms. These systems wil comprise those operated by Clearstream Banking AG, Frankfurt am
Main, Clearstream Banking S.A., Luxembourg and Euroclear Bank SA/NV. Notes denominated in euro
or, as the case may be, such other currency recognised from time to time for the purposes of eligible
collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy and intra-day credit operations by the Eurosystem, are
intended to be held in a manner, which would allow Eurosystem eligibility. Therefore, these Notes wil
initial y be deposited upon issue with in the case of (i) a new global note either Clearstream Banking

7
S.A., Luxembourg or Euroclear Bank SA/NV as common safekeeper or, (i ) a classical global note
Clearstream Banking AG, Frankfurt am Main. It does not necessarily mean that the Notes wil be
recognised as eligible col ateral for Eurosystem monetary policy and intra-day credit operations by the
Eurosystem either upon issue or at any or all times during their life. Such recognition wil depend upon
satisfaction of the Eurosystem eligibility criteria.
II. Issue Procedures
General
The Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s) wil agree on the terms and conditions applicable to each particular
Tranche of Notes (the "Conditions"). The Conditions wil be constituted by the relevant set of Terms
and Conditions of the Notes set forth below (the "Terms and Conditions") as further specified by the
Final Terms (the "Final Terms") as described below.

Options for sets of Terms and Conditions
A separate set of Terms and Conditions applies to each type of Notes, as set forth below. The Final
Terms provide for the Issuer to choose between the following Options:

- Option III Terms and Conditions for Notes without interest payments (Zero Coupon).

Documentation of the Conditions
The Issuer may document the Conditions of an individual issue of Notes in either of the fol owing ways:

Determination of Options / Completion of Placeholders
The Final Terms shall determine which of the Option I or Option II or Option III shal be applicable to the
individual issue of Notes. Each of the sets of Terms and Conditions of Option I or Option II or Option III
contains also certain further options (characterised by indicating the respective optional provision
through instructions and explanatory notes set out either on the left of or in square brackets within the
text of the relevant set of Terms and Conditions as set out in the Prospectus) as well as placeholders
(characterised by square brackets which include the relevant items) which wil be determined by the
Final Terms as follows:
Determination of Options

relevant provisions in the Final Terms or by reference of the Final Terms to the respective sections of
the relevant set of Terms and Conditions as set out in the Prospectus. If the Final Terms do not refer to

information were inserted in the placeholders of such provisions.
Al instructions and explanatory notes and text set out in square brackets in the relevant set of Terms
and Conditions and any footnotes and explanatory text in the Final Terms wil be deemed to be deleted
from the Conditions.

RISK FACTORS
Before deciding to purchase Notes issued under the Programme, investors should carefully
review and consider the following risk factors and the other information contained in this
Prospectus. Should one or more of the risks described below materialise, this may have a
material adverse effect on the business, prospects, shareholders' equity, assets, financial
position and results of operations (Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage) or general affairs of
E.ON and the E.ON Group. Moreover, if any of these risks occur, the market value of Notes issued
under the Programme and the likelihood that E.ON will be in a position to fulfil its payment
obligations under Notes issued under the Programme may decrease, in which case the holders
of Notes (the "Holders") issued under the Programme could lose all or part of their investments.
Factors which the Company believes may be material for the purpose of assessing the risks
associated with Notes issued under the Programme are also described below.
E.ON believes that the factors described below represent the principal risks inherent in investing
in Notes issued under the Programme, but E.ON may be unable to pay interest, principal or other
amounts on or in connection with Notes issued under the Programme for other unknown
reasons than those described below. Additional risks of which the Issuer is not presently aware
could also affect the business operations of the E.ON and the E.ON Group and have a material
adverse effect on their business activities, financial condition and results of operations.
Prospective investors should read the detailed information set out elsewhere in this Prospectus
(including any documents incorporated by reference herein) and reach their own views prior to
making any investment decision.
The following risk factors are organised in categories depending on their respective nature. In
each category the most material risk factors, based on the probability of their occurrence and
the expected magnitude of their negative impact, are mentioned first.
Words and expressions defined in the Terms and Conditions shall have the same meanings in
this section.

RISK FACTORS REGARDING E.ON SE
There are a number of business or operational risk factors that can affect E.ON's operations by having
a significant negative impact on the revenues and results of E.ON as wel as on its financial position.
In the normal course of business, E.ON is subject to a number of risks that are inseparably linked to the
operation of its businesses.
The risk factors relating to E.ON and the E.ON Group are presented in categories depending on their
nature with the most material risk factor presented first in each category.
1. Legal and Regulatory Risks
PreussenElektra
PreussenElektra's business is substantially influenced by regulation. Regulation can result in risks for
its remaining operating and dismantling activities. One example is the Fukushima nuclear accident.
Policy measures taken in response to such events as the Fukushima nuclear accident could have a
direct impact on the further operation of a nuclear power plant ("NPP") or trigger liabilities and significant
payment obligations stemming from the solidarity obligation agreed on among German NPP operators.
Furthermore, new regulatory requirements, such as additional mandatory safety measures or delays in
dismantling, could lead to production outages and higher costs. In addition, there may be lawsuits that
fundamentally challenge the operation of NPPs. Regulation can also require an increase in provisions
for dismantling. The above events, circumstances and factors may adversely affect E.ON Group's
results of operations and prospects.
On 6 December 2016, Germany's Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe ruled that the thirteenth
amended version of the Atomic Energy Act (the "Act") is fundamentally constitutional. The Act's only
unconstitutional elements are that certain NPP operators wil be unable to produce their power output
rights from 2002 and that it contains no mechanism for compensating operators for investments to
extend NPP operating lifetimes. Lawmakers established a compensation mechanism in the sixteenth

10
amended version of the Act. In addition, NPPs need to acquire residual electricity allotment, in order to
operate until their closure dates prescribed by law. These rulings and legal developments and matters
may adversely affect E.ON Group's results of operations and prospects.
Energy Networks
The operation of energy networks is subject to a large degree of government regulation. New laws and
regulatory periods cause uncertainty for this business. In addition, matters related to Germany's
Renewable Energy Sources Act, such as issues regarding solar energy, can cause temporary
fluctuations in E.ON's cash flow and adjusted EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) and thus may
adversely affect E.ON Group's results of operations and prospects. The rapid growth of renewables is
also creating new risks for the network business. For example, insolvencies among renewables
operators or feed-in tariffs unduly paid by grid operators lead to court or regulatory proceedings. The
above proceedings, events, circumstances and factors may adversely affect E.ON Group's results of
operations and prospects.
Customer Solutions
The E.ON Group's operations subject it to certain risks relating to legal proceedings, ongoing planning
processes, and regulatory changes. However, these risks also relate, in particular, to legal actions and
proceedings concerning contract and price adjustments to reflect market dislocations or (including as a
consequence of the energy transition) an altered business climate in the power and gas business,
alleged price-rigging and anticompetitive practices. Any such legal proceedings, processes and
regulatory changes as wel factors may adversely affect E.ON Group's results of operations and
prospects.
Other Legal and Regulatory Risks
New risks arise from energy-policy decisions at the European and national level. Foremost among them
are the European Commission's "Green Deal" presented at the end of 2019 and the German federal
government's decision to phase out conventional, hard-coal- and lignite-fired power generation. The
achievement of these objectives wil require legal and regulatory implementation measures that
themselves would pose new risks for certain E.ON Group business operations. Such energy-policies
decisions at the European and national level may adversely affect E.ON Group's results of operations
and prospects.
Risks from obligations arising from regulatory requirements following the Uniper split may exist. This
includes risks arising from possible litigation, fines, and claims, governance- and compliance-related
issues as well as risks related to contracts and permits. Changes to this environment can lead to
considerable uncertainty with regard to planning and, under certain circumstances, to impairment
charges. Above referenced litigation, fines, and claims as well as governance- and compliance-related
issues may adversely affect E.ON Group's results of operations and prospects.
The political, legal, and regulatory environment in which the E.ON Group does business is a source of
risks, such as the continued uncertainty that Brexit poses for the collaboration between certain E.ON
business units. This could confront E.ON with direct and indirect consequences that could lead to
possible financial disadvantages.
In the wake of the economic and financial crisis in many EU member states, interventionist policies and
regulations have been adopted in recent years, such as additional taxes and additional reporting
requirements (for example, EMIR (European Market Infrastructure Regulation), MAR (Market Abuse
Regulation), REMIT (Regulation on wholesale Energy Market Integrity and Transparency), MiFID II).
The responsible agencies monitor compliance with these regulations closely. This leads to attendant
compliance risks for E.ON's operations. The same applies to price moratoriums, regulated price
reductions, and changes to support schemes for renewables, which could pose risks to E.ON's
operations in the respective countries. Such compliance matters as well as price moratoriums, regulated
price reductions, and changes to support schemes for renewables may adversely affect E.ON Group's
results of operations and prospects.
innogy
The innogy Group's risk situation depends to a considerable degree on the economic and regulatory
environment. Its sales business, for example, faces the risk of additional interventionist regulations and,
like E.ON, a competitive environment that remains very intense. For the period of the medium-term plan,
