Under the Euro 40,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "Programme") described in this Base Prospectus (as defined
below), each of Mediobanca - Banca di Credito Finanziario S.p.A. ("Mediobanca") and Mediobanca International (Luxembourg) S.A.
("Mediobanca International") (each, an "Issuer" and together the "Issuers") may from time to time issue senior preferred notes (the
"Senior Preferred Notes") and Mediobanca may from time to time issue senior non preferred notes (the "Senior Non Preferred Notes" and,
together with the Senior Preferred Notes, the "Senior Notes") and subordinated notes ("Subordinated Notes" and, together with the Senior
Notes, the "Notes"), subject in each case to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and directives. The payment of all amounts due in
respect of any Senior Preferred Notes issued by Mediobanca International will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Mediobanca
(in such capacity, the "Guarantor") under a deed of guarantee and subject to the limitations thereof executed by the Guarantor and dated 22

This Base Prospectus has been approved by the Central Bank of Ireland (the "Central Bank") as competent authority under the Regulation
(EU) 2017/1129 (the "Prospectus Regulation"), the Central Bank only approves this Base Prospectus as meeting the standards of

admitted to trading on a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended (the "MiFID II") and/or which are to be

currently required to obtain authorization/registration (or, if located outside the European Union, recognition, endorsement or equivalence).
As far as the Issuer is aware, SONIA, SOFR, STR and ROBOR do not fall within the scope of the EU Benchmarks Regulation by virtue of
Article 2 of that Regulation.

Base Prospectus has been included for convenience purposes only and does not form part of this Base Prospectus.
This Base Prospectus should be read and construed with any supplement hereto and with any other documents

adverse change, or any event reasonably likely to involve any adverse change, in the financial position of any of
the Issuer or the Guarantor since the date hereof or the date upon which this Base Prospectus has been most

Restrictions on distribution
The distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offering or sale of Notes in certain jurisdictions may be restricted

10218418238-v26
- iv -
47-41025581

lawfully distributed, or that any Notes may be lawfully offered, in compliance with any applicable registration or
other requirements in any such jurisdiction, or pursuant to an exemption available thereunder, or assume any
responsibility for facilitating any such distribution or offering. No Notes may be offered or sold, directly or
indirectly, to the public, and neither this Base Prospectus nor any advertisement or other offering material may
be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with any
applicable laws and regulations. Persons into whose possession this Base Prospectus, any Notes may come must
inform themselves about, and observe any such restrictions on the distribution of this Base Prospectus and the
offering and sale of Notes. In particular, the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities
Act and are subject to U.S. tax law requirements.
This Base Prospectus has been prepared by the Issuers and the Guarantor for use in connection with the offer

or in transactions otherwise exempt from registration. 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

The Notes have not been approved or disapproved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any state
securities commission in the United States or any other U.S. regulatory authority, nor have any of the foregoing
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Notes or the accuracy or the adequacy of
this Base Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.
For a description of additional restrictions on the distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offer or sale of
Notes in the United States, the European Economic Area (including Italy), the United Kingdom and other
jurisdictions, see "Plan of Distribution".
IMPORTANT - EEA RETAIL INVESTORS - If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes includes a legend
entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or
otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in
the European Economic Area ("EEA"). 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 Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); or (ii) a
customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU, (as amended or superseded, the "Insurance Distribution
Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1)
of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "Prospectus
Regulation"). Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 (as
amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail
investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them
available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
IMPORTANT UK RETAIL INVESTORS - If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes include a legend entitled
"Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made
available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United
Kingdom ("UK"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client,
as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue
of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the
Financial Services and Markets Act, 2000 (the "FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to
implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in
point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the
European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU)
No 1286/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the
"UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors
in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to
any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
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 such Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the target market
assessment; however, a distributor subject to 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 at the time of issue about whether, for the purpose
10218418238-v26
- v -
47-41025581

of the product governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product Governance
Rules"), any Dealer subscribing for a Tranche of Notes is a manufacturer in respect of that Tranche, 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.
UK MiFIR PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET - The Final Terms in respect of any Notes will
include a legend entitled "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 the UK MiFIR product governance rules set out in 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 at the time of issue about whether, for the purpose of the UK MiFIR product
governance rules set out in UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules, any Dealer subscribing for a Tranche of Notes
is a manufacturer in respect of that Tranche, 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.
Notes issued as Green Bonds, Social Bonds, or Sustainability Bonds
None of the Dealers accepts any responsibility for any social, environmental and sustainability assessment of any
Notes issued as Green Bonds, Social Bonds, or Sustainability Bonds or makes any representation or warranty or
assurance whether such Notes will meet any investor expectations or requirements regarding such "green",
"sustainable", "social" or similar labels. None of the Dealers is responsible for the use of proceeds for any Notes
issued as Green Bonds, Social Bonds, or Sustainability Bonds, nor the impact or monitoring of such use of
proceeds. No representation or assurance is given by the Dealers as to the suitability or reliability of any opinion
or certification of any third party made available in connection with an issue of Notes issued as Green Bonds,
Social Bonds, or Sustainability Bonds, nor is any such opinion or certification a recommendation by any Dealer
to buy, sell or hold any such Notes. In the event any such Notes are, or are intended to be, listed, or admitted to
trading on a dedicated "green", "sustainable", "social" or other equivalently-labelled segment of a stock
exchange or securities market, no representation or assurance is given by the Dealers that such listing or
admission will be obtained or maintained for the lifetime of the Notes.
Benchmarks Regulation - Amounts payable under the Notes may be calculated by reference to EURIBOR, SONIA,
SOFR, STR, CMS, PRIBOR, ROBOR, BUBOR, CIBOR, STIBOR and NIBOR which are respectively provided

Czech Financial Benchmark Facility s.r.o. (as administrator of PRIBOR), Budapesti Értéktzsde Zrt. (Budapest
Stock Exchange) (as administrator of BUBOR), Danish Financial Benchmark Facility ApS (as administrator of

administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by European Securities and Markets Authority
("ESMA") pursuant to Article 36 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011(the "Benchmarks Regulation"). As at the date
of this Base Prospectus, ICE Benchmark Administration (as administrator of CMS), the Bank of England (as
administrator of SONIA), the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (as administrator of SOFR), the European
Central Bank (as administrator of STR), the National Bank of Romania (as administrator of ROBOR) and The

Benchmark Administration (as administrator of CMS) and The Swedish Financial Benchmark Facility (as
administrator of STIBOR) is not currently required to obtain authorization/registration (or, if located outside the
European Union, recognition, endorsement or equivalence). As far as the Issuer is aware, SONIA, SOFR, STR
and ROBOR do not fall within the scope of the EU Benchmarks Regulation by virtue of Article 2 of that Regulation.

STABILISATION
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the Stabilising
Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s) (the "Stabilising Manager(s)")) in the
applicable 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 person(s) acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager) in accordance with
all applicable laws and rules.
*****
Notes may be issued on a continuous basis in series (each, a "Series") having one or more issue dates and on
terms otherwise identical (or identical other than in respect of the first payment of interest), the Notes of each
Series being intended to be interchangeable with all other Notes of that Series. Each Series may be issued in
tranches (each, a "Tranche") on different issue dates. The specific terms of each Tranche (which, save in respect
of the issue date, issue price, first payment of interest and principal amount of the Tranche, will be identical to
the terms of other Tranches of the same Series) will be set forth in the relevant Final Terms, the form of which is
set out in "Form of Final Terms" below.
The maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any one time under the Programme will not
exceed Euro 40,000,000,000 (and for this purpose, any Notes denominated in another currency shall be translated
into Euro at the date of the agreement to issue such Notes calculated in accordance with the provisions of the
Dealer Agreement, as defined under "Plan of Distribution"). The maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes
which may be outstanding at any one time under the Programme may be increased from time to time, subject to
compliance with the relevant provisions of the Dealer Agreement.
In this Base Prospectus, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires: references to "Member
State" are references to Member States of the European Economic Area, references to the "UK" are references
to the United Kingdom; references to"$", "U.S.$", "USD" and "US Dollars" are to the lawful currency of the
United States of America; references to "Euro" are to the single currency introduced at the start of the third
stage of the European Economic and Monetary Union pursuant to the Treaty establishing the European
Community, as amended; references to "£" "GBP" and "Pounds Sterling" are to the lawful currency of the
United Kingdom; and references to "Yen" are to the lawful currency of Japan.
Tranches of Notes issued under the Programme will be rated or unrated. Where a Tranche of Notes is rated, such
rating will not necessarily be the same as the rating(s) described herein or the rating(s) assigned to Notes already
issued. Where a Tranche of Notes is rated, the applicable rating(s) will be specified in the relevant Final Terms.
Whether or not each credit rating applied for in relation to a relevant Tranche of Notes will be (1) issued by a
credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered under Regulation (EU) No. 1060/2009, as
amended (the "CRA Regulation"), or (2) issued by a credit rating agency established in the UK and registered
under Regulation (EU) No. 1060/2009 on credit rating agencies, as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of
the United Kingdom European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "UK CRA Regulation") but is endorsed by a
credit rating agency which is established in the European Union and registered under the CRA Regulation, or (3)
issued by a credit rating agency which is not established in the European Union but which is certified under the
CRA Regulation, will be disclosed in the Final Terms. A 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.
