BASE PROSPECTUS
Kommuninvest i Sverige Aktiebolag (publ)
(incorporated with limited liability in the Kingdom in Sweden)
Euro Note Programme
Guaranteed by certain regions of
Sweden and certain municipalities of Sweden
On 2 September 1993 the Issuer (as defined below) entered into a U.S.$1,500,000,000 Note Programme (the Programme) and issued a prospectus on
that date describing the Programme. This document (the Base Prospectus) supersedes any previous prospectus. Any Notes (as defined below)
issued under the Programme on or after the date of this Base Prospectus are issued subject to the provisions described herein. This does not affect any
Notes issued before the date of this Base Prospectus.
Under this Euro Note Programme (the Programme) Kommuninvest i Sverige Aktiebolag (publ) (the Issuer) may from time to time issue notes (the
Notes) denominated in any currency agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s) (as defined below).
The Notes may be issued in bearer or registered form (respectively the Bearer Notes and the Registered Notes).
Each Series (as defined on page 53) of Notes will be guaranteed by certain regions of Sweden and certain municipalities of Sweden. The final terms
(the Final Terms) applicable to each Tranche (as defined on page 53) of Notes will specify the Guarantor (as defined in the terms and conditions of
the Notes) in relation to that Tranche as of the issue date of that Tranche. However, other regions and municipalities of Sweden may subsequently
become Guarantors under the Guarantee (as defined herein). The Guarantee will be in, or substantially in, the form set out in Schedule 8 to the
Agency Agreement (as defined on page 52). As at the date hereof the Guarantee has already been given jointly and severally by 291 regions and
municipalities of Sweden. For further information on the Guarantors at the date hereof see "Ownership and Guarantee" on page 97.
Subject as set out herein, the Notes will not be subject to any minimum or maximum maturity.
The Notes will be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified on page 2 and any additional Dealer appointed under the
Programme from time to time, which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis (each a Dealer and together the Dealers).
An investment in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. For a description of these risks see "Risk Factors".
This Base Prospectus constitutes an alleviated base prospectus for the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part III of the Luxembourg Act dated 16 July 2019 on
prospectuses for securities.
Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes issued under the Programme up to the expiry of 12 months from the date of
this Base Prospectus to be admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market and to be listed on the Official List of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
References in this Base Prospectus to Notes being "listed" (and all related references) shall mean that such Notes have been admitted to trading on the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market and have been listed on the Official List 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 (Directive 2014/65/EU),
as amended.
Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the issue price of Notes and any other terms and
conditions not contained herein which are applicable to each Tranche (as defined under Terms and Conditions of the Notes) of Notes will be set out
in the applicable Final Terms which, with respect to Notes to be listed, will be filed with the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
The Programme provides that Notes may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or further stock exchange(s) or markets as
may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer. The Issuer may also issue unlisted Notes and/or Notes not admitted to trading on any
market.
Neither the Notes nor the Guarantee have been or will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 of the United States, as amended (the Securities
Act) or any U.S. State securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or the benefit of, U.S. persons (as
defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act (Regulation S)), unless an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is
available and the offer or sale is made in accordance with all applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and any other jurisdiction.
The Notes may be offered and sold (a) in bearer form or registered form outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S and
(b) in registered form in the United States and to U.S. persons to persons who are both "qualified institutional buyers" (QIBs) within the meaning of
and in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act (Rule 144A) and "qualified purchasers" (QPs) within the meaning of Section 2(a)(51)(A) of
the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Investment Company Act), and the rules and regulations thereunder. Prospective
purchases who purchase under (b) above are hereby notified that sellers of the Notes may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section
5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. The Issuer has not registered and does not intend to register, and no guarantor of the Notes is expected
to register, as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 3(c)(7) thereof. For a
description of these and certain further restrictions on offers, sales and transfers of Notes and distributions of this Base Prospectus see "Subscription
and Sale and Transfer and Selling Restrictions".
No prospectus is required in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the Prospectus Regulation) for an issue of Notes under the Programme,
accordingly this Base Prospectus does not comprise a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation.
Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Final Terms, the Notes of each Tranche (except Notes which are to be cleared through the Swedish
Central Securities Depository & Clearing Organisation, Euroclear Sweden AB (Euroclear Sweden) or notes, other than Swedish Registered Notes
(as defined below) in registered form (Registered Notes)) will initially be represented by a temporary global Note which will be deposited on the
issue date thereof with either a common depositary (if the temporary global Note is not issued in new global note form) or a common safekeeper (if
the temporary global Note is issued in new global note form), in either case on behalf of Euroclear Bank SA/NV (Euroclear), and Clearstream
Banking S.A. (Clearstream, Luxembourg) and which will be exchangeable, as specified in the applicable Final Terms, for either a permanent global
Note or Notes in definitive form, in each case upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership as required by U.S. Treasury regulations. A
permanent global Note will be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon request all as further described in "Form of the Notes" herein. The Notes of
each Tranche cleared through Euroclear Sweden will be issued in registered form in accordance with the Swedish Financial Instruments Accounts Act
(SFS 1998:1479), as amended (Swedish Registered Notes). Each Tranche of Registered Notes will initially be represented by a global Note in
registered form which will either (i) be deposited with a custodian for, and registered in the name of a nominee of, Depository Trust Company or (ii)
be deposited with a common depositary or, if the registered global notes are to be held under the new safe-keeping structure, a common safekeeper, as
the case may be for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, and registered in the name of the nominee for the Common Depositary of, Euroclear
and Clearstream, Luxembourg or in the name of a nominee of the common safekeeper, as specified in the applicable Final Terms. A registered global
note will be exchangeable for definitive Registered Notes upon request all as further described in "Form of the Notes" herein.
The Programme is rated by Moody's Investors Service Limited (Moody's) and by S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited (S&P). Tranches of Notes
issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated. Where a tranche of Notes is rated, such rating will not necessarily be the same as the rating
assigned to the Programme. 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.

U.S. INFORMATION
This Base Prospectus is being submitted on a confidential basis in the United States to a limited
number of prospective investors who are both QIBs and QPs for informational use solely in
connection with the consideration of the purchase of certain Notes issued under the Programme. Its
use for any other purpose in the United States is not authorised. It may not be copied or reproduced
in whole or in part nor may it be distributed or any of its contents disclosed to anyone other than the
prospective investors to whom it is originally submitted. Registered Notes may be offered or sold
within the United States only to persons who are both QIBs and QPs in transactions exempt from
registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 144A or any other applicable exemption.
Each U.S. purchaser of Registered Notes is hereby notified that the offer and sale of any Registered
Notes to it may be being made in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of
Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.
The Notes in bearer form for U.S. tax purposes are subject to U.S. tax law requirements and may not
be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or its possessions or to United States persons,
except in certain transactions permitted by U.S. Treasury regulations. Terms used in this paragraph
have the meanings given to them by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the Treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder.
Each purchaser or holder of Notes represented by a Rule 144A Global Note or any Notes issued in
registered form in exchange or substitution therefor (together Legended Notes) will be deemed, by its
acceptance or purchase of any such Legended Notes, to have made certain representations and
agreements intended to restrict the resale or other transfer of such Notes as set out in "Subscription
and Sale and Transfer and Selling Restrictions". Unless otherwise stated, terms used in this paragraph
have the meanings given to them in "Form of the Notes".

AVAILABLE INFORMATION
To permit compliance with Rule 144A in connection with any resales or other transfers of Notes that
are "restricted securities" within the meaning of the Securities Act, the Issuer has undertaken in a
deed poll dated 14 June 2011 (the Deed Poll) to furnish, upon the request of a holder of such Notes or
any beneficial interest therein, to such holder or to a prospective purchaser designated by him, the
information required to be delivered under Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act if, at the time of
the request, any of the Notes remain outstanding as "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule
144(a)(3) of the Securities Act and the Issuer is not a reporting company under Section 13 or 15(d) of
the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the Exchange Act) or exempt from reporting
pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) thereunder.

SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

The Issuer is incorporated in Örebro, Sweden as a limited liability company for an indefinite period in
August 1986 on the local initiative of the County of Örebro (as it was then known) and municipalities
in that county. All of the officers and directors named herein reside outside the United States and all
or a substantial portion of the assets of the Issuer and of such officers and directors are located outside
the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process outside
Sweden upon the Issuer or such persons, or to enforce judgments against them obtained in courts
outside Sweden.

The Guarantors are certain regions and municipalities of Sweden. As a result, it may not be possible
for investors to effect service of process outside Sweden upon the Guarantors or such persons, or to
enforce judgments against them obtained in courts outside Sweden.

The United States and Sweden currently do not have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and
enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the
payment of money against the Issuer rendered by any Federal or state court in the United States based
on civil liability would not be enforceable in Sweden, and the party in whose favour such judgment
was rendered would have to re-litigate the issues in a Swedish court of competent jurisdiction.
PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
Presentation of Financial Information
Unless otherwise indicated, the financial information in this Base Prospectus relating to the Issuer has
been derived from the audited financial statements of the Issuer for the financial year ended 31
December 2019 (including the comparative information as at and for the financial year ended 31
December 2018) (together, the Financial Statements).
The Issuer's financial year ends on 31 December, and references in this Base Prospectus to any specific
year are to the 12-month period ended on 31 December of such year. The Financial Statements have
been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and
Securities Companies (ÅRKL), and the regulations and general recommendations of the Swedish
Financial Supervisory Authority (Finansinspektionen) (the SFSA) regarding annual accounts for
credit institutions and securities companies (FFFS 2008:25).
Certain Defined Terms and Conventions
Capitalised terms which are used but not defined in any particular section of this Base Prospectus will
have the meaning attributed thereto in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes" or any other section of
this Base Prospectus.

Certain figures and percentages included in this Base Prospectus have been subject to rounding
adjustments; accordingly figures shown in the same category presented in different tables may vary
slightly and figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the
figures which precede them.
All references in this document to U.S. dollars, $ and U.S. cents refer to the currency of the United
States of America, those to SEK and Swedish kronor refer to the currency of Sweden and those to
euro and refer to the currency introduced at the start of the third stage of European economic and
monetary union pursuant to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, as amended (the

PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 309B OF THE SECURITIES AND
FUTURES ACT (CHAPTER 289) OF SINGAPORE - The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may
include a legend entitled "Singapore SFA Product Classification" which will state the product
classification of the Notes pursuant to section 309B(1) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289)
of Singapore, as modified or amended from time to time (the "SFA").
The Issuer will make a determination in relation to each issue under the Programme of the
classification of the Notes being offered for purposes of section 309B(1)(a). Any such legend included
on the relevant Final Terms will constitute notice to each of the "relevant persons" for purposes of
section 309B(1)(c) of the SFA.
MiFID II product governance / target market
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 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.

Final Terms may over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market 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 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 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
persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and
