will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes

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

AG or any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme from time to time by the Issuer(s) (each a "Dealer"
and together, the "Dealers") which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis.
The maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes at any one time outstanding under the Programme will not
exceed 30,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency). The Issuers may increase the amount of the
Programme in accordance with the terms of the Dealer Agreement (as defined below) from time to time.
Notes issued by VIF, VCCI and VWGoAF will have the benefit of a Guarantee and Negative Pledge
(the "Guarantee") given by VWAG. The Guarantee constitutes an irrevocable, unsecured and unsubordinated
obligation of the Guarantor ranking pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the
Guarantor. There are no restrictions on the free transferability of the Notes.
The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers. Notes may be distributed by way of
bookbuilding or private placements and, in each case, on a syndicated or non-syndicated basis. The method of
distribution of each Tranche will be stated in the relevant final terms (the "Final Terms").
Notes will be issued in such denominations as may be agreed between the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s)
or purchaser(s) and as indicated in the applicable Final Terms, save that the minimum denomination of the Notes
will be, if in Euro, 100,000 and, if in any currency other than Euro, an amount in such other currency nearly
equivalent to 100,000 at the time of the issue of the Notes.
Notes will be issued with a term to maturity of 1 year at a minimum and 30 years at a maximum.
Notes will be issued in tranches (each a "Tranche"), each Tranche consisting of Notes which are identical in all
respects. One or more Tranches, which are expressed to be consolidated and forming a single series and being
identical in all respects, but having different issue dates, interest commencement dates, issue prices and/or dates
for first interest payment may form a series ("Series") of Notes. Further Notes may be issued as part of existing
Series. The specific terms of each Tranche will be set forth in the applicable Final Terms.
Notes may be issued at an issue price which is at par or at a discount to, or premium over par, as stated in the
relevant Final Terms.
Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes to be issued under this Prospectus to be
listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to be admitted to trading on the "regulated
market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange" which is a regulated market for the purposes of MiFID II. Notes
may also be listed on further or other stock exchanges or may be issued without being listed.
Notes will be accepted for clearing through one or more Clearing Systems as specified in the applicable
Final Terms. These systems will include those operated by Clearstream Banking AG ("CBF"),
Clearstream Banking S.A. ("CBL"), Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and CDS Clearing and Depository

of Notes (the "Conditions"). The Conditions will 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 provisions of the Final Terms
as set out 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 among the following Options:
Option I Terms and Conditions for Notes with fixed interest rates
Option II Terms and Conditions for Notes with floating interest rates
Documentation of the Conditions
The Issuer may document the Conditions of an individual issue of Notes in either of the following ways:
-- The Final Terms shall be completed as set out therein. The Final Terms shall determine which of Option I
or Option II, including certain further options contained therein, respectively, shall be applicable to the
individual issue of Notes by replicating the relevant provisions and completing the relevant placeholders of
the relevant set of Terms and Conditions as set out in this Prospectus in the Final Terms. The replicated
and completed provisions of the set of Terms and Conditions alone shall constitute the Conditions, which
will be attached to each global note representing the Notes of the relevant Tranche.
-- Alternatively, the Final Terms shall determine which of Option I or Option II and of the respective further
options contained in each of Option I or Option II are applicable to the individual issue by only referring to
the specific sections of the relevant set of Terms and Conditions as set out in this Prospectus. The Final
Terms will specify that the provisions of the Final Terms and the relevant set of Terms and Conditions as

particular Tranche of Notes will have the Final Terms and the relevant set of Terms and Conditions as set
out in this Prospectus attached.
Determination of Options / Completion of Placeholders
The Final Terms shall determine which of Option I or Option II shall be applicable to the individual issue of Notes.
Each of the sets of Terms and Conditions of Option I or Option II contains also certain further options
(characterised by indicating the optional provision through instructions and explanatory notes set out either on the
left of or in the square brackets within the text of the relevant set of Terms and Conditions as set out in this
Prospectus) as well as placeholders (characterised by square brackets which include the relevant items) which will
be determined by the Final Terms as follows:
Determination of Options
The Issuer will determine which options will be applicable to the individual issue either by replicating the
relevant provisions in the Final Terms or by reference of the Final Terms to the sections of the relevant set
of Terms and Conditions as set out in this Prospectus. If the Final Terms do not replicate or refer to an
alternative or optional provision it shall be deemed to be deleted from the Conditions.
Completion of Placeholders
The Final Terms will specify the information with which the placeholders in the relevant set of Terms and
Conditions will be completed. In case the provisions of the Final Terms and the relevant set of Terms and
Conditions, taken together, shall constitute the Conditions the relevant set of Terms and Conditions shall
be deemed to be completed by the information contained in the Final Terms as if such information were
inserted in the placeholders of such provisions.
In that case, all 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 will be deemed to be deleted from the
Conditions.
Controlling Language
The Issuer will elect either German or English to be the controlling language of the Conditions.

RISK FACTORS
The following is a disclosure of risk factors that are material to the ability of VWAG, VIF, VCCI and VWGoAF
to fulfil their respective obligations under the Notes and, in case of VWAG, under the Guarantee, and of risk
factors that are material to the Notes issued under the Programme in order to assess the market risk associated
with these Notes. Prospective investors should consider these risk factors before deciding to purchase Notes
issued under the Programme.
The risks are not exhaustive. Prospective investors should consider all information provided in this Prospectus.
In addition, prospective investors should be aware that the risks described might combine and thus intensify
one another.
In addition, prospective investors should be aware that the described risks may result in a significant decrease
in the price of the Notes and investors could lose all or part of their investment.
Risk Factors regarding VIF, VCCI and VWGoAF
VIF, VCCI and VWGoAF are direct or indirect subsidiaries of VWAG. All Notes to be issued by VIF, VCCI and
VWGoAF are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by VWAG in respect of principal and interest payments.
Accordingly, the ability of each of VIF, VCCI and VWGoAF to fulfil their obligations under the Notes is affected,
substantially, by the same risks as those that affect the business and operations of VWAG and/or its consolidated
subsidiaries. Therefore, references in this section to risk factors affecting VWAG and/or its consolidated
subsidiaries shall be considered risk factors affecting each of the Issuers (if applicable).
VWAG is subject to various risks resulting from changing economic, political, social, industry, business and
financial conditions. The principal risks which could affect VWAG's business, financial condition, profitability,
cash flows, results of operations and future business results are described below. In addition, risks that are not yet
known or assessed as not material can influence profitability, cash flows and financial position.
Risk Factors regarding Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft and Volkswagen Group
Coronavirus impact
The recent outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 has had a material adverse effect on Volkswagen's business, affecting
sales, production and supply chains, and employees. Further, the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak has
caused and may continue to cause severe disruptions in the European and global economy and financial
markets and could potentially create widespread business continuity issues.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus ("SARS-CoV-2") was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China.
SARS-CoV-2 has since spread to numerous countries globally, including Volkswagen's primary markets and the
location of its principal operations, Germany and Europe as a whole and the United States. On March 11, 2020 the
World Health Organization declared SARS-CoV-2 a pandemic. The potential impact and duration of SARS-CoV-
2 or another pandemic could have sustained repercussions across regional and global economies, pushing some of
them into recessions, and financial markets.
The global impact of the outbreak continues to evolve rapidly and, as cases of the virus continue to be identified,
many countries, including China, the member states of the European Union and the United States, have reacted by
instituting quarantines and restrictions on travel. Such actions have caused a material deterioration of the global
economy and the financial markets, with serious negative consequences for both advanced economies and
emerging markets, including all of Volkswagen's core markets, disrupting global supply chains, severely
decreasing consumer demand and spending, and adversely impacting a number of industries, including the
automobile industry.
The effects of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak have had and may continue to have a material adverse effect on
Volkswagen's business and results of operations, and, depending on the duration of the outbreak, national
responses, the resulting economic downturn, and the shape of any potential recovery could adversely impact
Volkswagen's ability to successfully operate in the future due to, among other factors:
·
depressed consumer demand, which has led to continued significant declines in vehicle sales in all
of Volkswagen's primary markets, adversely impacting Volkswagen's sales to retail and corporate
customers, which may be compounded by cancellations of lease and sales contracts due to the
economic downturn and import restrictions or other such measures intended to mitigate the economic
effects of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on national economies;
