Euro Medium Term Note Programme
On 20 June 2002, Emirates Bank International PJSC ("EBI") entered into a U.S.$1,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "Programme"). On 19 January
2005, the maximum aggregate nominal amount of Notes which may be outstanding under the Programme was increased from U.S.$1,000,000,000 to U.S.$3,500,000,000 and on
19 April 2007 such maximum aggregate nominal amount was further increased to U.S.$7,500,000,000. On 21 November 2009, EBI was legally amalgamated with Emirates
NBD Bank PJSC ("ENBD" or the "Bank"). As a result of the amalgamation, all of the assets and liabilities of EBI were transferred to ENBD, EBI was dissolved and ENBD is
now considered to be the issuer of the Notes issued by EBI prior to the date hereof. Any Notes (as defined below) issued under the Programme are issued subject to the
provisions set out herein. This does not affect any Notes issued prior to the date hereof.
Under the Programme, ENBD and Emirates NBD Global Funding Limited ("EGF" and, together with ENBD in its capacity as issuer, the "Issuers" and each an "Issuer") may
from time to time issue notes (the "Notes") denominated in any currency agreed between the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer (as defined below).
The payments of all amounts due in respect of the Notes issued by EGF will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed (the "Guarantee") by ENBD (in such capacity, the
"Guarantor").
References to "the relevant Obligor(s)" shall, in the case of any issue of Notes, mean the relevant Issuer and, if the relevant Issuer is EGF, the Guarantor.
The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Notes from time to time outstanding under the Programme will not exceed U.S.$12,500,000,000 (or its equivalent in other
currencies calculated as described herein), subject to increase as described herein.
The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified under "General Description of the Programme" and any additional Dealer appointed
under the Programme from time to time by the Issuers (each a "Dealer" and together the "Dealers"), which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis.
References in this Base Prospectus to the "relevant Dealer" shall, in the case of an issue of Notes being (or intended to be) subscribed by more than one Dealer, be to all
Dealers agreeing to subscribe for such Notes. An investment in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. For a discussion of these risks see "Risk
Factors".

by reference into this Base Prospectus when deciding whether or not to purchase any Notes.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act") and Notes in bearer form are subject to U.S. tax law requirements.
Subject to certain exceptions, Notes may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to,
or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (see "Subscription and Sale").
This Base Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Notes in
any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make the offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction.
The distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offer or sale of Notes may be restricted by law in certain
jurisdictions. The Issuers, the Guarantor and the Dealers do not represent that this Base Prospectus may

Summary of alternative performance measures
The list below presents "Alternative Performance Measures" as defined in the European Securities and Markets Authority Guidelines ("ESMA Guidelines") on Alternative
Performance Measures. These financial measures presented by ENBD in this Base Prospectus provide useful supplementary information to both investors and ENBD's
management, as they facilitate the evaluation of company performance and should be read in conjunction with ENBD's financial statements incorporated by reference into
this Base Prospectus. The basis of calculating these performance measures along with the rationale for including them is explained below but it is to be noted that, since not
all companies calculate financial measurements in the same manner, these are not always comparable to measurements used by other companies:

This Base Prospectus includes forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of
historical facts included in this Base Prospectus may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-
looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may",
"will", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "continue" or similar terminology. Although
EGF and ENBD believe that the expectations reflected in their forward-looking statements are reasonable
at this time, there can be no assurance that these expectations will prove to be correct.
The Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Each potential investor in the Notes must
determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential
investor should:
(a)
have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Notes, the
merits and risks of investing in the Notes and the information contained or incorporated by
reference in this Base Prospectus or any applicable supplement;
(b)
have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation, an investment in the Notes and the impact the Notes will have on its
overall investment portfolio;
(c)
have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the
Notes, including Notes with principal or interest payable in one or more currencies, or where the
currency for principal or interest payments is different from the potential investor's currency;
(d)
understand thoroughly the terms of the Notes and be familiar with the behaviour of any relevant
indices and financial markets; and
(e)
be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for
economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the
applicable risks.
Some Notes are complex financial instruments. Sophisticated institutional investors generally do not
purchase complex financial instruments as stand-alone investments. They purchase complex financial
instruments as a way to reduce risk or enhance yield with an understood, measured, appropriate addition
of risk to their overall portfolios. A potential investor should not invest in Notes which are complex
financial instruments unless it has the expertise (either alone or with a financial adviser) to evaluate how
the Notes will perform under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Notes and the
impact this investment will have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio.
Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments. The investment activities of certain
investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain
authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what
extent (a) Notes are legal investments for it, (b) Notes can be used as collateral for various types of
borrowing, and (c) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any Notes. Financial institutions
should consult their legal advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of
Notes under any applicable risk based capital or similar rules.

DEALERS (THE "STABILISATION MANAGER(S)") (OR ANY PERSON ACTING ON
BEHALF OF ANY STABILISATION MANAGER(S)) MAY OVER-ALLOT NOTES OR
EFFECT TRANSACTIONS WITH A VIEW TO SUPPORTING THE MARKET PRICE OF THE

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 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 STABILISATION MANAGER(S) (OR PERSONS ON
BEHALF OF ANY STABILISATION MANAGER(S)) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL
APPLICABLE LAWS AND RULES.
NOTICE TO RESIDENTS OF THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA
This Base Prospectus may not be distributed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia except to such persons as
are permitted under the Offers of Securities Regulations issued by the Capital Market Authority of the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (the "Capital Market Authority").
The Capital Market Authority does not make any representations as to the accuracy or completeness of
this Base Prospectus, and expressly disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss arising from, or
incurred in reliance upon, any part of this Base Prospectus. Prospective purchasers of Notes issued under
the Programme should conduct their own due diligence on the accuracy of the information relating to the
Notes. If a prospective purchaser does not understand the contents of this Base Prospectus he or she
should consult an authorised financial adviser.
NOTICE TO RESIDENTS OF JAPAN
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of
Japan (Act No. 25 of 1948, as amended, the "Financial Instruments and Exchange Act"). The Notes
will not be, directly or indirectly, offered or sold in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, any resident of Japan
(which term as used herein means any person resident in Japan, including any corporation or other entity
organised under the laws of Japan) or to others for re-offering or re-sale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or
to, or for the benefit of, any resident of Japan except pursuant to an exemption from the registration
requirements of, and otherwise in compliance with, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and
other relevant laws, regulations and ministerial guidelines of Japan.
CAYMAN ISLANDS NOTICE
No invitation, whether directly or indirectly, may be made to any member of the public of the Cayman
Islands to subscribe for any Notes and this Base Prospectus shall not be construed as an invitation to any
member of the public of the Cayman Islands to subscribe for any Notes.
IMPORTANT EEA RETAIL INVESTORS
If the applicable Final Terms in respect of any Notes includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to
EEA Retail Investors", the Notes, from the date of application of Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the
"PRIIPs Regulation"), are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and, with
effect from such date, 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 Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU ("MiFID II");
(ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC ("IMD"), 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 Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, the "Prospectus Directive"). Consequently no
key information document required by 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

- vi -

or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be
unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

RISK FACTORS
Each of the Obligors believes that the following factors may affect its ability to fulfil its obligations in
respect of the Notes issued under the Programme or under the Guarantee, as the case may be. All of these
factors are contingencies which may or may not occur and neither Obligor is in a position to express a
view on the likelihood of any such contingency occurring.
In addition, factors which are material for the purpose of assessing the market risks associated with the
Notes issued under the Programme are also described below.
If any of the risks described below actually materialise, the Issuer and/or the Group's (as defined herein)
business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects could be materially and adversely
affected. If that were to occur, the trading price of the Notes could decline and investors could lose all or
part of their investment.
Each of the Obligors believes that the factors described below represent all the material risks inherent in
investing in the Notes issued under the Programme, but the inability of the Issuer to pay interest,
principal or other amounts on or in connection with any Notes may occur for other reasons which may
not be considered significant risks by the Issuer based on information currently available to them or
which they may not currently be able to anticipate. Prospective investors should also read the detailed
information set out elsewhere in this Base Prospectus and reach their own views prior to making any
investment decision.
Factors that may affect EGF's ability to fulfil its obligations in respect of Notes issued under the
Programme
EGF has no material assets
At the date of this Base Prospectus, EGF is an exempted company with limited liability, incorporated
under the laws of the Cayman Islands on 3 July 2009. EGF will not engage in any business activity other
than the issuance of Notes under this Programme and other borrowing programmes established from time
to time by ENBD, the issuance of shares in its capital and other activities incidental or related to the
foregoing. EGF is not expected to have any income except payments received from ENBD, which will be
the only material sources of funds available to meet the claims of the Noteholders. As a result, EGF is
subject to all of the risks to which ENBD is subject, to the extent that such risk could limit ENBD's ability
to satisfy in full and on a timely basis its obligations to EGF under the Programme.
As EGF is a Cayman Islands company, it may not be possible for Noteholders to effect service of process
outside of the Cayman Islands.
Factors that may affect ENBD's ability to, in its capacity as Issuer, fulfil its obligations in respect of
Notes issued under the Programme and to, in its capacity as Guarantor, fulfil its obligations under
the Guarantee
Risks relating to the business of ENBD
In the course of its business activities, ENBD is exposed to a variety of risks, the most significant of
which are market risks, liquidity risks, credit risks and operational risks. Difficult macro-economic and
financial market conditions have affected and could continue to materially adversely affect ENBD's
business.
Market risks

ENBD is exposed to diverse financial instruments including fixed income products, foreign currencies,
equities and commodities and deals in both physical as well as cash and derivative instruments. Market
risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments in the Group's inventories with the inclusion of
some other financial assets and liabilities will produce a loss because of changes in future market
conditions.
ENBD, in common with other financial institutions, is susceptible to changes in the macroeconomic
environment and the performance of financial markets generally. Dubai enjoys a relatively diverse
economy, and the 3 biggest sectors are trading (27 per cent.), transport and storage (15 per cent.) and
