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 fall, 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 must not b e 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 (ii) 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 Reg ulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as
amended ("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 must 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 ("UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or sel ing 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 will 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"), (ii) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), which is currently provided by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York ("FRBNY"), (iii) 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 Securit ies 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 fall 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 will specify the name of the specific benchmark and the relevant administrator. In
such case the Final Terms will 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 stabilizing managers ("Stabilizing Managers") (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilizing
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 Stabilizing Manager(s) (or (any) person(s) acting on behalf of any Stabilizing
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.
3

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 fully consistent
with all 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 all 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"
In this Prospectus all references to "", "EUR", "Euro" and "euro" are to the single currency of the
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 control ing legally 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 following
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.

Bank (Europe), S.A., Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft, Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE, HSBC
Continental Europe, J.P. Morgan AG, Merrill Lynch International, Société Générale, UBS AG London
Branch and UniCredit Bank AG and any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme from time to
time by the Issuer(s) and the Guarantor either generally in respect of the Programme, or in relation to a
particular Tranche of Instruments. The Issuers may also directly sell Instruments to third parties who are
not Dealers.
Morgan Stanley Europe SE acts as arranger in respect of the Programme ("Arranger").
The maximum aggregate principal amount of the Instruments outstanding at any one time under
the Programme will not exceed 30,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency). The maximum
aggregate principal amount of Instruments, which may be outstanding under the Programme, may be
increased from time to time, as agreed between the Issuers, the Guarantor and the Dealers appointed
generally in respect of the Programme.
The
Guarantor
has
unconditionally and
irrevocably guaranteed to
Luther
Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH, acting as Trustee for the holders of Instruments, the payment of al
amounts due under the Instruments issued by Siemens Capital Company LLC ("SCC") and Siemens
Financieringsmaatschappij N.V. ("SFM").
Instruments will be issued in tranches, each tranche in itself consisting of Instruments, which are
identical in all respects ("Tranche"). One or more Tranches, which are (i) expressed to be consolidated
and forming a single series and (ii) identical in all respects, but having different issue dates, interest
commencement dates and/or issue prices may form series ("Series") of Instruments. Each Issuer
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
form one Series with the Instruments.
Instruments are issued in bearer form only. Instruments issued by Siemens Capital Company LLC
will only be in registered form for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Instruments will be issued in such denominations as may be agreed between the relevant Issuer
and the relevant Dealer(s) and/or a third party and as indicated in the applicable final terms
("Final Terms") save that the minimum denomination of the Instruments will be, if in Euro, 100,000,
and, if in any currency other than Euro, an amount in such other currency of at least 100,000 at the
time of the issue of Instruments. Subject to any applicable legal and/or regulatory restrictions, and/or
requirements of the relevant competent central bank, Instruments may be issued in Euro or any other
currency. The Instruments will be freely transferable.
Instruments will be issued with a maturity of twelve months or more.
The term of the Instruments taking into account the applicable legal and/or regulatory restrictions,
and/or the requirements of the relevant competent central bank will be specified in the applicable Final
Terms.
Instruments may be issued at an issue price, which is at par or at a discount to, or premium over,
par, as stated in the relevant Final Terms.
Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Instruments issued under this
Programme 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. Instruments may further be issued under
the Programme, which wil be listed and traded on another stock exchange or which will not be listed on
any stock exchange.

Final Terms. These systems will comprise those operated by Clearstream Banking AG, Frankfurt am
Main ("CBF"), Clearstream Banking S.A., Luxembourg ("CBL") and Euroclear Bank SA/NV, Brussels
("Euroclear").
Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft will act as fiscal agent and paying agent.
II.
General description of the sustainability-linked financing framework
Siemens intends to publish on its website a "Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework" in its
Financial Year 2022 (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 wil 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 will 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.
III. Issue Procedures

Final Terms ("Final Terms") as described below.
Options for sets of Terms and Conditions

therein, respectively, shal be applicable to the individual issue of Instruments by replicating
the relevant provisions and completing the relevant placeholders of the relevant set of Terms
and Conditions as set out in this Prospectus in the Final Terms. The replicated and completed
provisions of the set of Terms and Conditions alone shall constitute the Conditions, which

the respective further options contained in each of Option I, Option II or Option III are

Terms and Conditions as set out in this Prospectus only. The Final Terms will specify that
the provisions of the Final Terms and the relevant set of Terms and Conditions as set out in
this Prospectus, taken together, shall constitute the Conditions. Each global Instrument
representing a particular Tranche of Instruments will have the Final Terms and the relevant
set of Terms and Conditions as set out in this Prospectus attached.
Determination of Options / Completion of Placeholders
The Final Terms shall determine which of Option I, Option II or Option III shall be applicable to the
individual issue of Instruments. Each of the sets of Terms and Conditions of Option I, Option II or
Option III contains also certain further options (characterized by indicating the respective optional
provision through instructions and explanatory notes set out either on the left of or in square brackets
within the text of the relevant set of Terms and Conditions as set out in this Prospectus) as well as
placeholders (characterized by square brackets which include the relevant items) which will be
determined by the Final Terms as follows:
Determination of Options
The relevant Issuer will determine which options will be applicable to the individual issue either by
replicating the relevant provisions in the Final Terms or by reference of the Final Terms to the respective
sections of the relevant set of Terms and Conditions as set out in this Prospectus. If the Final Terms do

therein, it shall be deemed to be deleted from the Conditions.

PART B: RISK FACTORS
Prospective investors should read the entire Prospectus, any supplement(s) thereto and the
Documents Incorporated by Reference (as defined herein). Words and expressions defined in the
"Terms and Conditions of the Instruments" below or elsewhere in this Prospectus have the same
meanings in this section. Investing in the Instruments involves certain risks. Prospective investors should
consider, amongst others, the fol owing:
The following is a disclosure of material risks which are specific to the Issuers and, if applicable,
to the Guarantor and that may affect each of the Issuers' ability to fulfill its respective obligations under
the Instruments and, if applicable, the Guarantor's ability to fulfill its obligations under the Guarantees
and to the Instruments in order to assess the market risk associated with these Instruments.
Prospective investors should consider these risk f actors before deciding to purchase any
Instruments. Prospective investors should consider all information provided in this Prospectus, any
supplement(s) thereto and the Documents Incorporated by Reference and consult with their own
professional advisors (including their financial, accounting, legal and tax advisors) if they consider it
necessary. In addition, investors should be aware that the risks described may combine and thus
intensify one another.
Each prospective investor in the Instruments must further determine the suitability of that
investment in light of its own (or if it is acquiring the Instruments in a fiduciary capacity the beneficiary's)
circumstances. In particular, each prospective investor and if it is acquiring the Instruments in a fiduciary
capacity the beneficiary (either alone or with a financial advisor) should:
(i) have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the relevant
Instruments, the merits and risks of investing in the relevant Instruments and the information contained
or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus or any applicable supplement;
(ii) have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation and the investment(s) it is considering, an investment in the Instruments
and the impact the Instruments will have on its overall investment portfolio;
(iii) have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the
relevant Instruments, including where principal or interest is payable in one or more currencies, or where
the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the prospective investor's currency;
(iv) understand thoroughly the terms of the relevant Instruments and be familiar with the behavior
of any relevant indices and financial markets; and
(v) be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial advisor) possible scenarios for
economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its inv estment and its ability to bear the
applicable risks.

Risks relating to Siemens Aktiengesellschaft
In this section references to "we", "us", "our", the "Company" or "Siemens", or "Siemens AG" are
to Siemens Aktiengesellschaft 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.
