EUR30,000,000,000
Euro Medium Term Note Programme
for the issue of Notes
due from one month to 40 years from the date of issue
KommuneKredit (the "Issuer"), subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and directives, may from time to time issue
Euro Medium Term Notes (the "Notes") denominated in such currencies as may be agreed with the Purchaser(s) (as defined below). The Notes
will have maturities from one month to 40 years from the date of issue (except as set out herein) and, subject as set out herein, the maximum
aggregate nominal amount of all Notes from time to time outstanding will not exceed EUR30,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies at
the time of agreement to issue, subject as further set out herein).
The Notes may be issued in bearer or registered form (respectively "Bearer Notes" and "Registered Notes") on a continuing basis to
one or more of the Dealers specified on page 8 (each, a "Dealer" and together, the "Dealers", which expressions shall include any additional Dealer
appointed under this EUR30,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "Programme") from time to time). Notes may also be issued
directly by the Issuer to persons other than Dealers. Dealers and such other persons are referred to as "Purchasers".
This Information Memorandum and any supplement hereto does not comprise a Prospectus for the purposes of Regulation (EU
2017/1129) (the "EU Prospectus Regulation") or Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of United Kingdom ("UK") domestic law by virtue of
the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA") (the "UK Prospectus Regulation").
The Notes are securities which, in the manner set forth in the articles of association of KommuneKredit, are unconditionally and
irrevocably guaranteed by the members of KommuneKredit being kommuner (municipalities) and regioner (regions) of the EU Member State
Denmark and therefore, pursuant to Article 1(2)(d) of the EU Prospectus Regulation and Article 1(2)(d) of the UK Prospectus Regulation, are not
subject to the EU Prospectus Regulation or the UK Prospectus Regulation.
Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the Notes to be issued under the Programme during the period of
12 months from the date of this Information Memorandum 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. The Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market is a regulated market for
the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"). This Information Memorandum constitutes an alleviated prospectus for the
purposes of Chapter 2, Part III of the Luxembourg law dated 16 July 2019 on Prospectuses for Securities. Unlisted Notes and Notes listed on other
or additional stock exchanges may also be issued under the Programme.
The Programme has been rated Aaa/P-1 by Moody's Investors Service (Nordics) AB ("Moody's") and AAA/A-1+ by S&P Global Ratings

and accurate in all material respects, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact nor omit to

all reasonable enquiries have been made to ascertain such facts and to verify the accuracy of all such
statements. The Issuer accepts responsibility accordingly.
This Information Memorandum is to be read in conjunction with all the documents which are
deemed to be incorporated herein by reference (see "Documents Incorporated by Reference" on page 6).
This Information Memorandum shall be read and construed on the basis that such documents are so
incorporated and form part of this Information Memorandum.
The Dealers have not separately verified the information contained herein. Accordingly, no
representation, warranty or undertaking, express or implied, is made and no responsibility is accepted by

Memorandum, or any other financial statements or any further information supplied in connection with

information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuer or by any
of the Dealers.
Neither this Information Memorandum nor any other financial statements nor any further
information supplied in connection with the Programme or the Notes are intended to provide the basis of
any credit or other evaluation and should not be considered as a recommendation by the Issuer or any of
the Dealers that any recipient of this Information Memorandum or any other financial statements or any
further information supplied in connection with the Programme or the Notes should purchase any of the
Notes. Each investor contemplating purchasing Notes should make its own independent investigation of
the financial condition and affairs, and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness, of the Issuer. None of
this Information Memorandum, any other financial statements or any further information supplied in
connection with the Programme or the Notes constitute an offer or invitation by or on behalf of the Issuer,
the Dealers or any of them to any person to subscribe for or to purchase any of the Notes.
The delivery of this Information Memorandum does not at any time imply that the information
contained herein concerning the Issuer is correct at any time subsequent to the date hereof or that any

Futures Act 2001 of Singapore (the "SFA") and the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products)
Regulations 2018 of Singapore (the "CMP Regulations 2018"), unless otherwise specified before an offer

of the SFA), that the Notes are `prescribed capital markets products' (as defined in the CMP 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 Issuer and the Dealers do not represent that this document may be lawfully distributed, or
that the Notes may be lawfully offered, in compliance with any applicable registration or other
requirements in any jurisdiction, or pursuant to an exemption available thereunder, or assume any
responsibility for facilitating any such distribution or offering. In particular, no action has been taken by
the Issuer or the Dealers which would permit a public offering of the Notes or distribution of this document
in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, the Notes may not be offered
or sold, directly or indirectly, and neither this Information Memorandum nor any advertisement or other
offering material may be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will
2

result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations and the Dealers have represented that all
offers and sales by them will be made on the same terms.

restricted by law in certain jurisdictions. Persons into whose possession this Information Memorandum
or any Notes come must inform themselves about, and observe, any such restrictions. In particular, there

MiFID II product governance / target market. The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include
a legend entitled "MiFID II / UK MiFIR 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 MiFID
Product Governance rules under EU Delegate 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 Issuer, the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the
purpose of the MiFID Product Governance Rules.
UK MiFIR product governance / target market The Final Terms may include a legend entitled
"MiFID II / UK MiFIR 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 "UK distributor") should take into consideration the target
market assessment; however, a UK distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and
Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules") 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 UK
MiFIR 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 UK MIFIR Product Governance Rules.

articles of association of KommuneKredit, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by the members

1286/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") will not
apply to any Notes issued under the Programme. Accordingly, the Issuer will not prepare a key information
document (within the meaning of the EU PRIIPs Regulation and/or the UK PRIIPs Regulation, as
applicable) in respect of any Notes issued under the Programme.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and may include Notes in bearer form that are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. Subject
to certain exceptions, Notes may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States (see

Obligations. Any resale of the Notes must be made in accordance with an exemption from, or in a
transaction not subject to, the prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws.
Securities legislation in certain provinces or territories of Canada may provide a purchaser with
remedies for rescission or damages if this Information Memorandum (including any supplement hereto
and/or any Final Terms) contains a misrepresentation, provided that the remedies for rescission or
damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of
3

the purchaser's province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the
securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory for particulars of these rights or consult with
a legal advisor.

(if any) named as Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) in the
relevant Final Terms (as defined on page 7) may over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to
supporting the market price of the Notes at a higher level than that which might otherwise prevail.
However, there is no assurance that the Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any
Stabilising Manager(s)) will undertake stabilisation action. Any stabilising action may begin on or after
the date on which adequate public disclosure of the final terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche of
Notes is made and, if begun, may be ended 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 shall be conducted by the Stabilising
Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable
laws and rules.
None of the Arranger, the Dealers or any of their respective affiliates accepts any responsibility
for any social, environmental, and sustainability assessment of any Notes issued under the Programme
as green bonds ("Green Bonds") or makes any representation or warranty or assurance whether such
Notes will fulfil social, environmental and sustainability criteria regarding such "green" or similar labels
required by prospective investors.
The Issuer's green bond framework as amended and/or supplemented from time to time (the
"Green Bond Framework") will be available on the Issuer's website: https://kommunekredit.com/green-
bonds/green-bond-framework/. The Green Bond Framework may be subject to review and change and
may be amended updated, supplemented, replaced and/or withdrawn from time to time and any
subsequent version(s) may differ from any description given in this Information Memorandum.
None of the Green Bond Framework, the Second Party Opinion, any other certification, report or
opinion relating to the Green Bond Framework and/or Notes issued as Green Bonds, any document
referred to in any of the foregoing, or the contents of any website referred to herein or therein are, or are
deemed to be, incorporated in, or form part of, this Information Memorandum and/or any Final Terms
relating to Notes issued as Green Bonds.
In the event any such Notes are, or are intended to be, listed or admitted to trading on a dedicated
"green" or other equivalently-labelled segment of a stock exchange of securities market, no
representation or assurance is given by the Arranger, the Dealers, the Issuer or any of their respective
affiliates that such listing or admission will be obtained or maintained for the lifetime of the Notes.

time, issue Notes denominated in such currencies as may be agreed with the relevant Purchaser(s).
The issue price, form of notes, issue date, maturity date, nominal amount, interest rate (if any)
applicable to a Note and any other relevant provisions of such Note will be agreed between the Issuer
and the relevant Purchaser(s) at the time of agreement to issue and will be specified in the Final Terms

Exchange's regulated market and to be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
(the "Listed Notes"), will be delivered to the EU regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
on or before the date of issue of such Tranche.
Subject as set out herein, this Information Memorandum and any supplement hereto will only be valid
for listing Notes if the aggregate of the principal amount of those Notes and all Notes outstanding as
at the date of issue of those Notes does not exceed EUR30,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in the other
currencies specified herein) outstanding at any one time, calculated by reference to the Exchange Rate

quoted by any leading bank selected by the Issuer on the Agreement Date.
The euro equivalent of Dual Currency Notes, Indexed Notes, Zero Coupon Notes or other Notes issued
at a discount or a premium shall be calculated in the manner specified above by reference to the
original nominal amount of any particular issue. The nominal amount of Partly Paid Notes will be taken
into account regardless of the amount of the subscription price paid.
