IMPORTANT NOTICE
The Issuer, subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and directives, may from time to
time issue certificates of deposit with a maturity of not more than 364 days from and including the date
of issue to but excluding the maturity date or, in the case of extendible CDs, the Final Maturity Date (as
defined herein) (the "A CDs") and certificates of deposit with a maturity that exceeds 364 days from and
including the date of issue to but excluding the maturity date or, in the case of extendible CDs, the Final
Maturity Date (the "B CDs" and, together with the A CDs, the "CDs") under the programme (the
"Programme") as described in this base prospectus (the "Base Prospectus").
Application has been made to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF") in its
capacity as competent authority under the Luxembourg Act dated 16 July 2019 on prospectuses for
securities (loi relative aux prospectus pour valeurs mobilières) (the "Prospectus Act 2019") and for the
purposes of Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council (as
amended or superseded, the "Prospectus Regulation") to approve this document as a base prospectus in
respect of the B CDs. The CSSF only approves this Base 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 and of the quality of the B CDs that are the
subject of this Base Prospectus. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of
investing in any such B CDs. By approving this Base Prospectus, the CSSF shall give no undertaking as
to the economic and financial soundness of the operation or the quality or solvency of the Issuer in
accordance with Article 6(4) of the Prospectus Act 2019. Application has been made to the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange to approve this document as an alleviated prospectus (prospectus allégé) in respect of
the A CDs. Application has also been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the A CDs and the
B CDs issued under the Programme to be listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
and admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, which is a regulated
market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended or superseded, "MiFID II"). The Issuer
may also issue unlisted A CDs and unlisted B CDs and/or A CDs and B CDs not admitted to trading on
any market. Any Extendible A CDs (as defined herein) will be unlisted.
This document constitutes a base prospectus in respect of the B CDs for the purposes of Article 8 of the
Prospectus Regulation and should be read together with any supplements thereto, all documents
incorporated by reference herein and any final terms ("Final Terms"). This document also constitutes
(i) an alleviated prospectus (prospectus allégé) in respect of the A CDs for the purposes of Part III of the
Prospectus Act 2019; and (ii) an information memorandum for the purposes of the Short-Term European
Paper ("STEP") Initiative.
The expression "necessary information" means, in relation to any of the CDs, the information necessary
to enable investors in such notes to make an informed assessment of the assets and liabilities, financial
position, profits and losses and prospects of the Issuer and of the rights attaching to the CDs. In relation
to the different types of CDs that may be issued under the programme, the Issuer has included in this
Base Prospectus all of the necessary information except for information which is not known at the date
of this Base Prospectus and which can only be determined at the time of an individual issue of the CDs.
Any information relating to the CDs which is not included in this Base Prospectus and which is required
in order to complete the necessary information in relation to an issue of the CDs will be contained either
in the relevant Final Terms or in a further Base Prospectus. For issues of CDs which are the subject of
Final Terms, those Final Terms will, for the purposes of that issue only, complete this Base Prospectus
and must be read in conjunction with this Base Prospectus.
The distribution of this Base Prospectus and any Final Terms and the offering or sale and delivery of the
CDs in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Base Prospectus
or any Final Terms come are required by the Issuer to inform themselves about, and to observe, any such
restrictions. Subject to certain exceptions, the CDs may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or
indirectly, in the United States of America or to US persons. The CDs have not been and will not be
registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or under
the securities or blue sky laws of any state. Neither the US Securities and Exchange Commission nor any
other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of the CDs or passed upon the accuracy or inaccuracy
of this Base Prospectus. This Base Prospectus is not for use in, and may not be delivered to or inside, the
United States.

2

This Base Prospectus or any Final Terms do not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to
buy, any CDs offered hereby by any person in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to
make such an offer or solicitation. Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus nor the delivery of any
Final Terms nor any sale made hereunder shall under any circumstances imply that there has been no
adverse change in the financial situation of the issuer since the date hereof or, as the case may be, the
date upon which this Base Prospectus has been most recently supplemented.
In accordance with the STEP Initiative, this Programme will be submitted to the STEP Secretariat in
order to apply for the STEP label in respect of the A CDs. The STEP label will not apply to the B CDs.
The status of STEP compliance of this Programme can be determined from the STEP Market website
(www.stepmarket.org). This website is not sponsored by the Issuer and the Issuer is not responsible for
its content or availability. The CSSF expresses no opinion on the STEP label. Certain prescribed
information required by the STEP label is included in the sections entitled 'Information concerning the
Issuer's request for a STEP label' and 'Certification of information'.
In relation to CDs listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, this Base Prospectus is
valid for a period of twelve months after its date of approval until 9 March 2021. The Issuer has
undertaken, in connection with the listing of the CDs, that if there shall occur any material adverse change
in the financial condition or operations of the Issuer or any modification or amendment to the terms and
conditions of the CDs such that this Base Prospectus would be inaccurate or misleading, the Issuer will
prepare and make available a supplement to this Base Prospectus or a further Base Prospectus for any
subsequent issue of CDs to be listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Base Prospectus. To the best of
the knowledge of the Issuer, the information contained in this Base Prospectus is in accordance with the
facts and the Base Prospectus makes no omission likely to affect its import. Where information contained
in this Base Prospectus has been sourced from a third party, such information has been accurately
reproduced and so far as issuer is aware and is able to ascertain from information published by that third
party, no facts have been omitted which would render the reproduced information inaccurate or
misleading.
The Issuer has been assigned a long-term debt credit rating of A+ and a short-term debt credit rating of
A-1 by S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited ("S&P"); a long-term debt credit rating of A and a short-
term debt credit rating of F1 by Fitch Ratings, Inc. ("Fitch"); and a long-term debt credit rating of A1
and a short-term debt credit rating of P-1 by Moody's Investors Services, Inc. ("Moody's").
The credit ratings of the Issuer referred to in this Base Prospectus have been issued by S&P, Fitch and
Moody's, of which only S&P is registered under Regulation (EU) No. 1060/2009, as amended or
superseded (the "CRA Regulation"). In general, European regulated investors are restricted from using
a rating for regulatory purposes if such rating is not either (1) issued or validly endorsed by a credit rating
agency established in the European Union and registered with the European Securities and Markets
Authority ("ESMA") under the CRA Regulation or (2) issued by a credit rating agency established
outside the European Union which is certified under the CRA Regulation. The EU affiliates of Fitch and
Moody's are registered under the CRA Regulation. The ESMA has approved the endorsement by such
EU affiliates of credit ratings issued by Fitch and Moody's. Accordingly, credit ratings issued by Fitch
and Moody's may be used for regulatory purposes in the EU. A 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.
The Issuer has appointed Goldman Sachs International and Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE as dealers
in respect of the CDs pursuant to a dealer agreement dated on or around 9 March 2020 (together with
further dealers appointed under the Programme from time to time, the "Dealers") under the Programme
and authorised and requested the Dealers to circulate this Base Prospectus in connection with the
Programme on its behalf to purchasers or potential purchasers of the CDs. Every offering of CDs will be
designed, distributed and monitored in accordance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements
(including any product governance requirements).

Benchmarks Regulation

Amounts payable under the CDs may be calculated or otherwise determined by reference to certain
reference rates. Any such reference rate may constitute a benchmark for the purposes of the Benchmarks
Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/1011) (as amended or superseded, the "Benchmarks Regulation").
If any such reference rate does constitute such a benchmark, the applicable Final Terms will indicate
whether or not the benchmark is provided by an administrator included in 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. Not every reference rate will fall within
the scope of the Benchmarks Regulation. Furthermore, transitional provisions in the Benchmarks
Regulation may have the result that the administrator of a particular benchmark is not required to appear
in the register of administrators and benchmarks at the date of the applicable Final Terms. The
registration status of any administrator under the Benchmarks Regulation is a matter of public record
and, save where required by applicable law, the Issuer does not intend to update the applicable Final
Terms to reflect any change in the registration status of the administrator.

dollars", "USD" and "US$" are to the lawful currency of the United States; references to "Sterling" and
