Description détaillée Mashreqbank est une banque de détail et d'investissement basée à Dubaï, aux Émirats arabes unis, offrant une gamme de services financiers aux particuliers et aux entreprises.

Cet article fournit une analyse rétrospective d'une obligation spécifique émise par Mashreqbank, un instrument de dette qui a récemment atteint sa maturité et a été intégralement remboursé. L'obligation, identifiée par le code ISIN XS2176793979, était une émission de type conventionnel. Son émetteur, Mashreqbank, dont le siège est aux Émirats Arabes Unis, est une institution financière de premier plan dans la région du Moyen-Orient. Fondée en 1967, elle est l'une des plus anciennes banques privées des EAU et joue un rôle crucial dans le développement économique de la région, offrant une large gamme de services bancaires aux particuliers, aux entreprises et aux institutions. La banque est reconnue pour sa solidité financière et son engagement envers l'innovation. L'obligation en question, émise depuis les Émirats Arabes Unis, était libellée en dollars américains (USD), une pratique courante pour attirer un large éventail d'investisseurs internationaux et bénéficier de la liquidité de cette devise mondiale. Le montant total de l'émission s'élevait à 100 000 000 USD, indiquant une taille significative pour un instrument de ce type, capable d'attirer des investisseurs institutionnels. La taille minimale à l'achat, fixée à 200 000 USD, confirmait d'ailleurs cette orientation vers une clientèle sophistiquée ou des fonds d'investissement plutôt que des investisseurs de détail. Cette obligation offrait un taux d'intérêt annuel de 2%, avec une fréquence de paiement semestrielle (2 fois par an), fournissant ainsi un flux de revenus régulier à ses détenteurs tout au long de sa durée de vie. Le point le plus notable concernant cette émission est sa maturité. L'obligation est arrivée à échéance le 18 mai 2021. Conformément aux termes de son prospectus, elle a été remboursée à 100% de son prix nominal sur le marché, ce qui signifie que les détenteurs de l'obligation ont récupéré l'intégralité de leur capital initialement investi, en plus des intérêts accumulés jusqu'à la date de maturité. Le fait que le prix sur le marché était de 100% juste avant ou au moment de la maturité confirme un remboursement au pair, un signe de la bonne santé financière de l'émetteur et de la confiance du marché dans sa capacité à honorer ses engagements. Le remboursement réussi de cette obligation renforce la réputation de Mashreqbank en tant qu'émetteur fiable sur les marchés de capitaux internationaux, soulignant sa capacité à gérer ses passifs et à respecter ses engagements financiers envers les investisseurs. Cet événement souligne la liquidité et la solidité des instruments de dette émis par des entités bancaires établies et bien notées des Émirats Arabes Unis.

This document constitutes a base prospectus for the purposes of Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "EU Prospectus Regulation") for all Notes

This base prospectus (the "Base Prospectus") has been approved by the CSSF, as competent authority in Luxembourg under the EU Prospectus
Regulation, as a base prospectus issued in compliance with the EU Prospectus Regulation for the purpose of giving information with regard to the issue
of the Notes issued under the Programme described in this Base Prospectus during the period of twelve months after the date hereof. The CSSF has only
approved the Base Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the EU Prospectus Regulation
with respect to the Notes which will be admitted to listing on the official list and trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
and admission to trading on the professional segment of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market. Such an approval should not be considered

own assessment as to the suitability of investing in such Notes. This Base Prospectus is valid for a period of twelve months from the date of approval in
relation to the Notes which are to be admitted to listing on an official list and to trading on the regulated market in the EEA. The CSSF assumes no

market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments (as amended, "EU MiFID II").
The requirement to publish a prospectus under the EU Prospectus Regulation only applies to Notes which are to be admitted to trading on a regulated

stock exchange and/or quotation system or to be admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation by such other or further competent authorities, stock
exchanges and/or quotation systems as may be agreed between the Bank and the relevant Dealer(s) in relation to each Series.
The Bank may agree with any Dealer that Notes may be issued in a form not contemplated by the Terms and Conditions of the Notes (the "Conditions")
herein, in which event (in the case of Notes intended to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange) a new prospectus relating to that particular issue
of Notes or (in the case of Exempt Notes) a pricing supplement (the "Pricing Supplement") issued by the Bank will be made available which will

intending to make an offer of Notes in that Member State which are the subject of an offering contemplated
in this Base Prospectus as completed by Final Terms in relation to the offer of those Notes may only do so
in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Bank or Merrill Lynch International (the "Arranger")
or any Dealer to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 or Article 5 of the EU Prospectus Regulation or
a supplement to a prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the EU Prospectus Regulation in relation to such

directors, officers, advisers, agents or affiliates as to the accuracy or completeness of the information
contained or incorporated in this Base Prospectus or any other information provided by the Bank in
connection with the Programme or the Notes or their distribution. Neither the Arranger nor the Dealers

Each investor contemplating purchasing any Notes should make its own independent investigation of the

change, in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Bank since the date thereof or, if later, the date upon
which this Base Prospectus has most recently been supplemented by a supplement to the Base Prospectus
or that any other information supplied in connection with the Programme is correct at any time subsequent

The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any U.S. State securities
laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons
(as defined in the Securities Act) except in certain transactions exempt from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act. See "Subscription and Sale". The Notes are subject to U.S. tax law requirements.
NEITHER THE PROGRAMME NOR THE NOTES HAVE BEEN APPROVED OR
DISAPPROVED BY THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "SEC"),
ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION IN THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER U.S.
REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAS ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED
UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF ANY OFFERING OF NOTES OR THE ACCURACY
OR ADEQUACY OF THIS BASE PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE
CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE IN THE UNITED STATES.
All applicable provisions of the FSMA, and all secondary legislation made pursuant to it, must be complied
with. Accordingly, no offer or sale of, and no communication of any invitation or inducement to engage in
investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) in respect of, any Notes is being made
hereby except in circumstances where the prohibition on financial promotion set out at Section 21(1) of the
FSMA does not apply whether by reason of the application of the exemptions to such prohibition set out in
the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion Order) 2005 (the "Promotions Order")
or otherwise. In the UK, this Base Prospectus is only being distributed and made available to, and is only
directed at, investment professionals within the meaning of Article 19(5) of the Promotions Order, and any
other person into whose possession this Base Prospectus comes must not and should not take any action in
respect of matters set out herein in respect to the Notes or otherwise. In the UK, persons not having

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 Bank, the Arranger and the Dealers do not represent that this Base Prospectus may be
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,
and the Bank, the Arranger and the Dealers do not assume any responsibility for facilitating any such
distribution or offering. In particular, no action has been taken by the Bank, the Arranger or the Dealers
which would permit a public offering of any Notes or distribution of this Base Prospectus in any jurisdiction
where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, no Notes may be offered or sold, directly or
indirectly, and neither this Base Prospectus nor any advertisement or other offering material may be
10221514688-v30
- iv -
75-41028307




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 or 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, there are restrictions on the distribution of this
Base Prospectus and the offer or sale of Notes in the United States, the EEA, the UK, Japan, the People's
Republic of China (the "PRC"), Italy, Singapore, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates
(excluding the Dubai International Financial Centre) and the Dubai International Financial Centre; see
"Subscription and Sale".
Unless otherwise specified in the Final Terms or any Pricing Supplement applicable to the Notes in a Series,
the Notes in a Series will initially be represented by Global Notes (as defined below), which will be, on or
about the relevant Issue Date, deposited with a depositary or common depositary for the accounts of
Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream, Luxembourg") and/or Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear",
together with Clearstream, Luxembourg, the "Clearing Systems"). Beneficial interests in Global Notes
will be exchangeable, in whole but not in part, for Definitive Notes in bearer form under the limited
circumstances described below.
Global Notes may also be deposited with any other clearing system or may be delivered outside any clearing
system, provided that the method of such delivery has been agreed between the Bank, the Issuing and
Principal Paying Agent and the relevant Dealer(s). Notes that are to be credited to one or more clearing
systems on issue will be registered in the name of a nominee or nominees for such clearing systems.
Beneficial interests in Global Notes held by Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg will be shown on,
and transfers thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by Euroclear and/or Clearstream,
Luxembourg and their participants.
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 may wish to consider, either on its own or with the help of its financial and professional advisers,
whether it:
(a)
has 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)
has 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)
has sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Notes,
including Notes where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the potential
investor's currency;
(d)
understands thoroughly the terms of the Notes and be familiar with the behaviour of financial
markets; and
(e)
is able to evaluate 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 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: (1) Notes are
legal investments for it; (2) Notes can be used as collateral for various types of borrowing; and (3) other
restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any Notes. Financial institutions should consult their legal
10221514688-v30
- v -
75-41028307




advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of Notes under any applicable
risk-based capital or similar rules.
In the case of any Notes which are to be admitted to trading on a regulated market within the EEA or offered
to the public in a Member State of the EEA in circumstances which would otherwise require the publication
of a prospectus under the EU Prospectus Regulation, the minimum specified denomination shall be
100,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency as at the date of issue of such Notes).
This Base Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements. The words "anticipate", "believe",
"expect", "intend", "targets", "aims", "estimate", "project", "will", "would", "may", "could", "continue" and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All statements other than
statements of historical fact included in this Base Prospectus, including, without limitation, those regarding
the financial position, business strategy, management plans and objectives for future operations of the Bank
are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the Bank's actual results, performance or achievements,
or industry results, to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements.
The requirement to publish a base prospectus under the EU Prospectus Regulation only applies to Notes
which are to be admitted to trading on a regulated market for the purposes of EU MiFID II in the EEA
and/or offered to the public in the EEA other than in circumstances where an exemption is available under
Article 4 of the EU Prospectus Regulation. References in this Base Prospectus to "Exempt Notes" are to
Notes issued by the Bank for which no base prospectus is required to be published under the EU Prospectus
Regulation. The Exempt Notes do not form part of this Base Prospectus for the purposes of the EU
Prospectus Regulation and the CSSF has neither approved nor reviewed information contained in this Base
Prospectus in connection with Exempt Notes.

fixed rate of AED 3.6725 = U.S.$1.00.
References in this Base Prospectus to "Final Terms" shall, in the case of a Tranche of Exempt Notes, be

otherwise.

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

of EU MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 ("Insurance Distribution
Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of
Article 4(1) of EU MiFID II. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No
1286/2014 (the "EU 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 EU PRIIPs
Regulation.
IMPORTANT ­ UK RETAIL INVESTORS
If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes includes 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 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 of the UK by virtue of the European Union
(Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of 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 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 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.
PRODUCT GOVERNANCE UNDER EU MiFID II
A determination will be made at the time of issue about whether, for the purpose of the product governance
rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "EU MiFID II Product Governance Rules"), any
Dealer subscribing for a Series or Tranche of Notes is a manufacturer in respect of that Series or Tranche,
but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a
manufacturer for the purpose of the EU MiFID II Product Governance Rules.
The Final Terms in respect of any Notes will include a legend entitled "EU MiFID II Product Governance"
which will outline each manufacturer's product approval process, 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 EU 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.
PRODUCT GOVERNANCE UNDER UK MiFIR
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the UK MiFIR
product governance rules set out in the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance
10221514688-v30
- vii -
75-41028307




Sourcebook (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.
The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may 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 distributor should take into consideration the target market assessment;
however, a distributor subject to 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.
NOTIFICATION UNDER SECTION 309B(1)I OF THE SECURITIES AND FUTURES ACT
(CHAPTER 289 OF SINGAPORE)
The Final Terms in respect of any Tranche of Notes may include a legend entitled "Singapore Securities
and Futures Act Product Classification" which will state the product classification of the Notes pursuant to
Section 309B(1) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289) of Singapore, as modified or amended
from time to time (the "SFA"). The Bank will make a determination in relation to each issue about the
classification of the Notes being offered for the purposes of section 309B(1)(a). Any such legend included
on the relevant Final Terms will constitute notice to "relevant persons" for the purposes of Section
309B(1)(c) of the SFA.
THE CREDIT RATING AGENCIES
Each of Fitch, Moody's and S&P has rated Mashreqbank and the Programme, and Moody's Investors
Service Singapore Pte. Ltd. ("Moody's Singapore") has also rated the UAE. Moody's and S&P are
established in the EEA and registered under the EU CRA Regulation. Fitch is established in the UK and is

in the UK and has not applied for registration under the EU CRA Regulation or the UK CRA Regulation.
The rating issued by Moody's Singapore has been endorsed by Moody's in accordance with the EU CRA
Regulation. A credit 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.
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
The Bank has undertaken that, in connection with the listing of the Notes on the official list of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange, if there shall occur a significant new factor, material mistake or inaccuracy
relating to the information included in this Base Prospectus which is capable of affecting the assessment of
any Notes, the Bank will prepare or procure the preparation of a supplement to this Base Prospectus to be
approved by the CSSF in accordance with Article 23 of the EU Prospectus Regulation or, as the case may
be, publish a new Base Prospectus, for use in connection with any subsequent issue by the Bank of Notes
to be listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and shall supply to the Arranger and
each Dealer such number of copies of such supplement hereto as such Arranger and/or Dealer may
reasonably request. Statements contained in any supplement (or contained in any document incorporated
by reference therein) shall, to the extent applicable (whether expressly, by implication or otherwise), be
deemed to supersede statements contained in this Base Prospectus (or any earlier supplement) or in a
document which is incorporated by reference in this Base Prospectus.
EU BENCHMARKS REGULATION
Interest and/or other amounts payable under the Notes may be calculated by reference to certain reference
rates. Any such reference rate may constitute a benchmark for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011
(the "EU Benchmarks Regulation"). If any such reference rate does constitute such a benchmark, the Final
Terms will indicate whether or not the benchmark is provided by an administrator included in the register
of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by ESMA pursuant to Article 36 (Register
of administrators and benchmarks) of the EU Benchmarks Regulation. The registration status of any
administrator under the EU Benchmarks Regulation is a matter of public record and, save where required
by applicable law, the Bank does not intend to update the Final Terms to reflect any change in the
registration status of the administrator.

ENFORCEMENT OF FOREIGN JUDGMENTS
The Bank is a public shareholding company incorporated with limited liability in accordance with the laws
of the UAE and the majority of its directors reside in the UAE. All or a substantial portion of the assets of
the Bank and its directors are located in the UAE. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to: (a)
effect service of process upon the Bank or any such directors outside the UAE; (b) enforce against any of
them, in courts of jurisdiction other than the UAE, judgments obtained in such courts that are predicated
upon the laws of such other jurisdictions; or (c) enforce against any of them, in UAE courts, judgments
obtained in jurisdictions other than the UAE, including judgments on the Deed of Covenant in the courts
of England and judgments obtained in the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the
federal securities laws of the United States.
The Deed of Covenant, the Agency Agreement and the Notes are governed by, and construed in accordance
with, English law (save for the subordination provisions of the Notes, which are subject to the application
of mandatory provisions of the laws and regulations of the UAE) and disputes in respect of the Deed of
Covenant, the Agency Agreement and the Notes may be settled by arbitration under the rules of the London
Court of International Arbitration in London, England. In addition, under the Conditions, the Bank has
agreed to: (i) submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of England for the purposes of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or related to the Notes and the Coupons; and (ii) appoint an agent for service of
process in England. See "Terms and Conditions of the Notes -- Governing Law and Jurisdiction". However,
there is a risk that the courts of the UAE may only recognise a choice of law other than the law of, and
applicable in, the UAE if they are satisfied that there exists an appropriate nexus between the contract
expressed to be governed by such law and the foreign law system chosen. Further, the courts of the UAE
will not honour any provision of any foreign law system they do recognise as validly chosen which is
contrary to Islamic Shari'a jurisprudence, public order or morals or to any mandatory law of, or applicable
in, the UAE. See further "Risk Factors -- Risk Factors relating to the legal and regulatory environment --
UAE law and courts and the enforcement of foreign judgments in the Emirate of Dubai".
