Restriction on Distribution, Offer and Sale
Law may restrict the distribution of this Prospectus, any supplement(s) thereto and any Final Terms
and the offering, sale and delivery of the Instruments in certain jurisdictions. Persons into whose
possession this Prospectus, any supplement(s) thereto or any Final Terms fal , are required to inform
themselves about and to observe any such restrictions. For a description of certain restrictions on offers,
sales and deliveries of Instruments and on the distribution of this Prospectus, any supplement(s) thereto
or any Final Terms and other offering material relating to the Instruments, see "Part I: Subscription and
Sale".
Neither the Instruments nor the SCC Guarantee (as defined herein) nor the SFM Guarantee (as
defined herein) have been, or wil be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended ("Securities Act"), or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction
of the United States and are being sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act. The Instruments may include Instruments in bearer form that are subject to U.S. Tax
Law requirements. Accordingly, the Instruments are being offered and sold only outside the United
States of America to non-U.S. persons (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act
("Regulation S")) in reliance on Regulation S. For further details, see "Part I: Subscription and Sale".
The Instruments have not been approved or disapproved by the United States Commodity Futures
Trading Commission, by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities
commission in the United States of America nor has the Securities and Exchange Commission or any
state securities commission in the United States of America passed upon the accuracy or the adequacy
of this Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense in the United States of
America.
IMPORTANT ­ EEA AND UK RETAIL INVESTORS - If the relevant Final Terms in respect of any
Instruments include a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA and UK Retail Investors", the
Instruments are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and must not be offered,
sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA or 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)
MiFID II; (i ) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 as amended ("IDD"), where that
customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of article 4(1) of MiFID II; or
(i i) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key information
document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as amended ("PRIIPs Regulation") for offering
or selling the Instruments or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or the UK
has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Instruments or otherwise making them available
to any retail investor in the EEA or the UK may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
If the relevant Final Terms in respect of any Instruments specify "Prohibition of Sales to EEA and
UK Retail Investors" as "Not applicable", except to the extent sub-paragraph (ii) below may apply, any
offer of Instruments in any Member State of the EEA or the UK wil be made pursuant to an exemption
under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of Instruments.
Accordingly, any person, making or intending to make an offer in that Member State or in the UK of
Instruments which are the subject of an offering or placement contemplated in this Prospectus as
completed by Final Terms in relation to the offer of those Instruments may only do so (i) in circumstances
in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or any Dealer to publish a prospectus pursuant to article 3 of
the Prospectus Regulation or supplement a prospectus pursuant to article 23 of the Prospectus
Regulation, in each case, in relation to such offer, or (ii) if a prospectus for such offer has been approved
by the competent authority in that Member State or in the UK or, where appropriate, approved in another
Member State or in the UK and notified to the competent authority in that Member State or in the UK
and (in either case) published, all in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation, provided that any such
prospectus has subsequently been completed by Final Terms which specify that offers may be made
other than pursuant to article 1(4) of the Prospectus Regulation in that Member State or in the UK, such
offer is made in the period beginning and ending on the dates specified for such purpose in such
prospectus or Final Terms, as applicable, and the Issuer has consented in writing to the use of such
prospectus for the purpose of such offer. Except to the extent sub-paragraph (i ) above may apply,
neither the Issuers nor the Guarantor nor any Dealer have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making
of any offer of Instruments in circumstances in which an obligation arises for the Issuers or the Guarantor
or any Dealer to publish or supplement a prospectus for such offer.
Each Dealer and/or each financial intermediary subsequently resel ing or final y placing
Instruments may only use this Prospectus as set out in "Consent to the use of the Prospectus" below.
2



Neither this Prospectus nor any supplement(s) thereto 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.
Floating Rate Instruments and Benchmarks
Interest amounts payable on Instruments with a fluctuating rate of interest wil be calculated by
reference to a specific benchmark which will be provided by an administrator.
As at the date of this Prospectus, the specific benchmark applicable to an issue of instruments
with a floating rate of interest ("Floating Rate Instruments") has not yet been determined. However,
interest amounts payable under Floating Rate Instruments may be calculated by reference to (i) Euro
Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") which is provided by the European Money Markets Institute
("EMMI"), (i ) London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") which is provided by the ICE Benchmark
Administration Limited ("IBA"), (i i) Australian Dol ar Bank bill Swap Rate (AUD-BBR-BBSW) which is
provided by ASX Benchmarks Limited ("ASX"), (iv) Canadian Dol ar Offered Rate (CDOR) which is
provided by Refinitiv Benchmark Services (UK) Ltd ("RBSL") or (v) the Sterling Overnight Index Average
("SONIA"), which is currently provided by the Bank of England ("BoE"). As at the date of this Prospectus,
ASX, EMMI, IBA and RBSL appear on the register (the "ESMA Register") of administrators and
benchmarks established and maintained by the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA")
pursuant to article 36 of the Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 of the European Parliament and of the Council
of June 8, 2016 on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts or to
measure the performance of investment funds and amending Directives 2008/48/EC and 2014/17/EU
and Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, as amended (the "Benchmark Regulation"). As far as the Issuers
are aware, BoE does not fall within the scope of the Benchmark Regulation and is not currently required
to obtain authorization or registration (or, if located outside the European Union or the UK, recognition,
endorsement or equivalence).
The Final Terms wil specify the name of the specific benchmark and the relevant administrator. In
such case the Final Terms wil further specify if the relevant administrator is included in the ESMA
Register or whether the provisions of the Benchmark Regulation apply.
Stabilization
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Instruments, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named
as stabilizing managers ("Stabilizing Managers") (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilizing
Manager(s)) in the applicable Final Terms may over-allot Instruments or effect transactions with a view
to supporting the market price of the Instruments 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
Instruments 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 of Instruments and 60 days after the date of the
allotment of the relevant Tranche of Instruments. Any stabilization action or over-allotment must be
conducted by the relevant Stabilizing Manager(s) (or (any) person(s) acting on behalf of any Stabilizing
Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Each of the Issuers and the Guarantor might also conduct either itself or through third parties
stabilization action or over-allotment in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
Exclusion
Neither this Prospectus nor any supplement(s) thereto nor any Final Terms constitute an offer or
an invitation to subscribe for or purchase any Instruments and must not be considered as a
recommendation by the Issuers or the Guarantor that any recipient of this Prospectus, any
supplement(s) thereto or any Final Terms should subscribe for or purchase any Instruments. Each
recipient of this Prospectus, any supplement(s) thereto or any Final Terms shall be obligated to make
its own investigation and appraisal of the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Issuers and the
Guarantor.

Responsibility of the investor
Prospective investors should careful y consider, among other things, the factors described in
"Part B: Risk Factors" which identify certain risks inherent in investing in Instruments and in regard to
the respective Issuer and/or the Guarantor.
However, each prospective investor of Instruments must determine, based on its own independent
review and such professional advice as it deems appropriate under the circumstances, that its
acquisition of the Instruments is fully consistent with its (or if it is acquiring the Instruments in a fiduciary
capacity, the beneficiary's) financial needs, objectives and condition, complies and is ful y consistent
with al investment policies, guidelines and restrictions applicable to it (whether acquiring the Instruments
as principal or in a fiduciary capacity) and is a fit, proper and suitable investment for it (or if it is acquiring
the Instruments in a fiduciary capacity, for the beneficiary), notwithstanding al of the risks inherent in
investing in or holding the Instruments.
None of the Issuers or the Guarantor has or assumes responsibility for the lawfulness of the
acquisition of the Instruments by a prospective investor of the Instruments, whether under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its incorporation or the jurisdiction in which it operates (if different), or for compliance
by that prospective investor with any law, regulation or regulatory policy applicable to it.
References to "", "EUR", "Euro" and "euro"
In this Prospectus all references to "", "EUR", "Euro" and "euro" are to the single currency of the
participating Member States within the European Union.
Controlling Language
The language of this Prospectus is English. The English language translations of the German
language sets of Terms and Conditions of the Instruments set forth below ("Terms and Conditions"),
the Final Terms and the guarantee for Instruments issued by Siemens Capital Company LLC and the
guarantee for Instruments issued by Siemens Financieringsmaatschappij N.V. (together "Guarantees")
are shown in this Prospectus for convenience only. As to form and content and all rights and obligations
of the holders of Instruments and the Issuers under the Instruments to be issued and, in respect of any
Guarantee, as to form and content, and all rights and obligations of the holders of Instruments, the
Trustee and the Guarantor thereunder, German is always the controlling legal y binding language.
FORWARD-LOOKING-STATEMENTS
This Prospectus and the Documents Incorporated by Reference may contain statements related
to the Issuers' and/or the Siemens Group's (as defined herein) future business and financial
performance and future events or developments involving an Issuer/the Issuers/the Siemens Group that
may constitute forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified by words such as
"expect", "look forward to", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "believe", "seek", "estimate", "will," "project" or
words of similar meaning. Such statements are based on the current expectations and certain
assumptions of each of the Issuers' management, of which many are beyond the Issuers' control. These
are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and factors. Further information about risks and
uncertainties affecting the Issuers and/or the Siemens Group is included in Part B "Risk Factors" and
Part F "Description of the Issuers". Accordingly, investors are strongly advised to read the following
sections of this Prospectus: Part B "Risk Factors" and Part F "Description of the Issuers".
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, events of force majeure, such as
pandemics, occur or should underlying expectations including future events occur at a later date or not
at all or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements of each of the Issuers
and/or the Siemens Group may (negatively or positively) vary materially from those described explicitly
or implicitly in the relevant forward-looking statement. None of the Issuers neither intends, nor assumes
any obligation, to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ
from those anticipated.

Risks relating to Siemens Aktiengesellschaft
In this section references to "we", "us", "our", the "Company" or "Siemens", or "Siemens AG" are
to Siemens Aktiengesel schaft and, unless the content otherwise requires, to its consolidated
subsidiaries ("Siemens Group").
Below we describe the risks that could have a material adverse effect on our business situation,
financial condition (including effects on assets, liabilities and cash flows), results of operations and
reputation. The order in which the risks are presented in each of the four categories reflects the currently
estimated relative exposure for Siemens associated with these risks and thus provides an indication of
the risks' current importance to us. Additional risks not known to us or that we currently consider
immaterial may also negatively impact our business objectives and operations. Unless otherwise stated,
the risks described below relate to all our organizational units.
Strategic risks
COVID-19 pandemic (COVID-19): COVID-19 has come to a head again in autumn 2020 with the
number of new infections rising rapidly in many countries. Current impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic
vary considerably between regions and customer industries. Governments and other local authorities
are striving to contain the spread of the disease by implementing various countermeasures ranging from
recommending social distancing and new hygiene standards to imposing large-scale lockdowns and
restrictions on opening conditions in certain sectors of the economy. Governments are expected to ease
economic restrictions to relieve associated suffering, depending on epidemiological trends and political
pressure.
As a result, the extent and duration of the individual effects on our business are extremely difficult
to predict. For example, if containment measures are initiated on short notice or last unforeseeably long,
this might significantly impact our business in a way that exceeds current expectations and might go
beyond already initiated mitigation measures. We could be facing unexpected shutdowns of locations,
factories or office buildings of our suppliers, customers or our own operations, thus impairing our ability
to produce or deliver our products, solutions and services.
Key uncertainties of the COVID-19 crisis are its duration, including for example potential additional
waves of infections or mutations of the virus, and the economic cost of the lockdowns. Since the second
quarter of fiscal 2020, we gradual y started to see the effects in our businesses, short-cycle as wel as
project businesses, as for example customers have been cancel ing orders or delaying investments, we
have been exposed to an increased risk of default and our supply chain has been experiencing
difficulties in certain areas. Potential consequences include an unsustainable burden of public and
private debt that hampers the post-pandemic recovery, severe disruptions in the financial system and
bankruptcies among Siemens customers and suppliers. In the long term, a roll-back of globalization
could reduce the potential for future growth.
