Restriction on Distribution, Offer and Sale
Law may restrict the distribution of this Prospectus, any supplement(s) thereto and any Final Terms
and the offering, sale and delivery of the Instruments in certain jurisdictions. Persons into whose
possession this Prospectus, any supplement(s) thereto or any Final Terms fal , are required to inform
themselves about and to observe any such restrictions. For a description of certain restrictions on offers,
sales and deliveries of Instruments and on the distribution of this Prospectus, any supplement(s) thereto
or any Final Terms and other offering material relating to the Instruments, see "Part H: Subscription and
Sale".
Neither the Instruments nor the SCC Guarantee (as defined herein) nor the SFM Guarantee
(as defined herein) have been, or will be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended ("Securities Act"), or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction
of the United States and are being sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act. The Instruments may include Instruments in bearer form that are subject to U.S. Tax
Law requirements. Accordingly, the Instruments are being offered and sold only outside the United
States of America to non-U.S. persons (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act
("Regulation S")) in reliance on Regulation S. For further details, see "Part H: Subscription and Sale".
The Instruments have not been approved or disapproved by the United States Commodity Futures
Trading Commission, by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities
commission in the United States of America nor has the Securities and Exchange Commission or any
state securities commission in the United States of America passed upon the accuracy or the adequacy
of this Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense in the United States of
America.
IMPORTANT EEA RETAIL INVESTORS - If the relevant Final Terms in respect of any
Instruments include a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the Instruments 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 article 4(1) MiFID II; or (i ) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 as amended
("IDD"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of article
4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014
as amended (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Instruments or otherwise making them
available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the
Instruments 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 relevant Final Terms in respect of any Instruments
include a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors", the Instruments 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 domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018
("EUWA"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets
Act 2000, as amended ("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 domestic law by virtue of the
EUWA. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it
forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling
the Instruments or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and
therefore offering or sel ing the Instruments or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in
the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
Neither this Prospectus nor any supplement(s) thereto nor any Final Terms may be used
for the purpose of an offer or solicitation by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or
solicitation is not authorized or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or
solicitation.

Floating Rate Instruments and Benchmarks
Interest amounts payable on Instruments with a fluctuating rate of interest wil be calculated by
reference to a specific benchmark which will be provided by an administrator.
As at the date of this Prospectus, the specific benchmark applicable to an issue of instruments
with a floating rate of interest ("Floating Rate Instruments") has not yet been determined. However,
interest amounts payable under Floating Rate Instruments may be calculated by reference to (i) Euro
Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") which is provided by the European Money Markets Institute
("EMMI"), (i ) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), which is currently provided by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York ("FRBNY"), (i i) Australian Dollar Bank bill Swap Rate (AUD-BBR-BBSW)
which is provided by ASX Benchmarks Limited ("ASX"), (iv) Canadian Dol ar Offered Rate (CDOR)
which is provided by Refinitiv Benchmark Services (UK) Ltd ("RBSL") or (v) the Sterling Overnight Index
Average ("SONIA"), which is currently provided by the Bank of England ("BoE"). As at the date of this
Prospectus, ASX, EMMI, IBA and RBSL appear on the register (the "ESMA Register") of administrators
and benchmarks established and maintained by the European Securities and Markets Authority
("ESMA") pursuant to article 36 of the Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 of the European Parliament and of
the Council of June 8, 2016 on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial
contracts or to measure the performance of investment funds and amending Directives 2008/48/EC and
2014/17/EU and Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, as amended (the "Benchmark Regulation"). As far as
the Issuers are aware, FRBNY and BoE do not fal within the scope of the Benchmark Regulation and
are not currently required to obtain authorization or registration (or, if located outside the European
Union or the UK, recognition, endorsement or equivalence).
The Final Terms wil specify the name of the specific benchmark and the relevant administrator. In
such case the Final Terms wil further specify if the relevant administrator is included in the ESMA
Register or whether the provisions of the Benchmark Regulation apply.
Stabilization
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Instruments, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named
as stabilization managers ("Stabilization Managers") (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilization
Manager(s)) in the applicable Final Terms may over-allot Instruments or effect transactions with a view
to supporting the market price of the Instruments at a level higher than that which might otherwise
prevail. However, stabilization may not necessarily occur. Any stabilization action may begin on or after
the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche of
Instruments 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 Instruments and 60 days after the date of the
allotment of the relevant Tranche of Instruments. Any stabilization action or over-allotment must be
conducted by the relevant Stabilization Manager(s) (or (any) person(s) acting on behalf of any
Stabilization Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Each of the Issuers and the Guarantor might also conduct either itself or through third parties
stabilization action or over-allotment in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
Exclusion
Neither this Prospectus nor any supplement(s) thereto nor any Final Terms constitute an offer or
an invitation to subscribe for or purchase any Instruments and must not be considered as a
recommendation by the Issuers or the Guarantor that any recipient of this Prospectus, any
supplement(s) thereto or any Final Terms should subscribe for or purchase any Instruments. Each
recipient of this Prospectus, any supplement(s) thereto or any Final Terms shall be obligated to make
its own investigation and appraisal of the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Issuers and the
Guarantor.

Responsibility of the investor
Prospective investors should careful y consider, among other things, the factors described in
"Part B: Risk Factors" which identify certain risks inherent in investing in Instruments and in regard to
the respective Issuer and/or the Guarantor.
However, each prospective investor of Instruments must determine, based on its own independent
review and such professional advice as it deems appropriate under the circumstances, that its
acquisition of the Instruments is fully consistent with its (or if it is acquiring the Instruments in a fiduciary
capacity, the beneficiary's) financial needs, objectives and condition, complies and is ful y consistent
with al investment policies, guidelines and restrictions applicable to it (whether acquiring the Instruments
as principal or in a fiduciary capacity) and is a fit, proper and suitable investment for it (or if it is acquiring
the Instruments in a fiduciary capacity, for the beneficiary), notwithstanding al of the risks inherent in
investing in or holding the Instruments.
None of the Issuers or the Guarantor has or assumes responsibility for the lawfulness of the
acquisition of the Instruments by a prospective investor of the Instruments, whether under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its incorporation or the jurisdiction in which it operates (if different), or for compliance
by that prospective investor with any law, regulation or regulatory policy applicable to it.
References to "", "EUR", "Euro" and "euro"

participating Member States within the European Union.
Controlling Language
The language of this Prospectus is English. The English language translations of the German
language sets of Terms and Conditions of the Instruments set forth below ("Terms and Conditions"),
the Final Terms and the guarantee for Instruments issued by Siemens Capital Company LLC and the
guarantee for Instruments issued by Siemens Financieringsmaatschappij N.V. (together "Guarantees")
are shown in this Prospectus for convenience only. As to form and content and all rights and obligations
of the holders of Instruments and the Issuers under the Instruments to be issued and, in respect of any
Guarantee, as to form and content, and all rights and obligations of the holders of Instruments, the
Trustee and the Guarantor thereunder, German is always the controlling legal y binding language.
FORWARD-LOOKING-STATEMENTS
This Prospectus and the Documents Incorporated by Reference may contain statements related
to the Issuers' and/or the Siemens Group's (as defined herein) future business and financial
performance and future events or developments involving an Issuer/the Issuers/the Siemens Group that
may constitute forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified by words such as
"expect", "look forward to", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "believe", "seek", "estimate", "will," "project" or
words of similar meaning. Such statements are based on the current expectations and certain
assumptions of each of the Issuers' management, of which many are beyond the Issuers' control. These
are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and factors. Further information about risks and
uncertainties affecting the Issuers and/or the Siemens Group is included in Part B "Risk Factors" and
Part E "Description of the Issuers". Accordingly, investors are strongly advised to read the fol owing
sections of this Prospectus: Part B "Risk Factors" and Part E "Description of the Issuers".
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, events of force majeure, such as
pandemics, occur or should underlying expectations including future events occur at a later date or not
at all or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements of each of the Issuers
and/or the Siemens Group may (negatively or positively) vary materially from those described explicitly
or implicitly in the relevant forward-looking statement. None of the Issuers neither intends, nor assumes
any obligation, to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ
from those anticipated.

reserves the right to issue from time to time without the consent of the holders of Instruments additional
Instruments with identical terms (except for the issue date, the interest commencement date, the first
interest payment date and /or the issue price as the case may be), so that these additional Instruments

II.
General description of the sustainability-linked financing framework
Siemens intends to publish on its website (www.siemens.com) a "Sustainability-Linked Financing
Framework" (the "Framework") which is aligned with the Sustainability Linked Bond Principles
(SLBP 2020) ("SLBP")1 administered by the International Capital Market Association ("ICMA") and to
receive a second party opinion (the "Second Party Opinion"), assessing the Framework's alignment
with the SLBPs.
The Framework will describe sustainability related key performance indicators ("Key Performance
Indicator(s)" or "KPI"). This Programme al ows for the issuance of instruments with sustainability
features ("Sustainability-Linked Instruments"). The Terms and Conditions of such Sustainability-
Linked Instruments will contain provisions to the effect that the rate of interest and/or redemption amount
of such Sustainability-Linked Instruments is increased if certain sustainability performance targets
("Sustainability Performance Targets" ("SPT")) are not met by a specific date.
The KPI(s), the relevant SPT(s) and the date by which they are to be met in respect of each series
of Sustainability-Linked Instruments will be defined in the relevant Terms and Conditions.
Siemens annually publishes a Sustainability Report (as defined in the relevant Terms and
Conditions). Such Sustainability Report will contain information on the KPI(s) and whether the KPI(s)
and/or the relevant SPT(s) have been adjusted. The Sustainability Report will, thus, contain the
information to establish whether interest and/or redemption amount of the Sustainability-Linked
Instruments will be increased in accordance with the relevant Terms and Conditions. The Sustainability
Report will be subject to a limited assurance report by the External Verifier as defined in the relevant
Terms and Conditions ("Limited Assurance Report"). Any Limited Assurance Report wil be published
as a part of the Sustainability Report on the Siemens website (www.siemens.com).
None of the Framework, the Second Party Opinion or the Sustainability Report including the
Limited Assurance Report form part of this Prospectus and are not incorporated by reference into this
Prospectus.

Risks relating to Siemens Aktiengesellschaft
In this section references to "we", "us", "our", the "Company" or "Siemens", or "Siemens AG" are
to Siemens Aktiengesel schaft and, unless the content otherwise requires, to its consolidated
subsidiaries ("Siemens Group").
Below we describe the risks that could have a material adverse effect on our business situation,
financial condition (including effects on assets, liabilities and cash flows), results of operations and
reputation. The order in which the risks are presented in each of the four categories reflects the currently
estimated relative exposure for Siemens associated with these risks and thus provides an indication of
the risks' current importance to us. Additional risks not known to us or that we currently consider
immaterial may also negatively impact our business objectives and operations. Unless otherwise stated,
the risks described below relate to all our organizational units.
