IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This Base Prospectus comprises a base prospectus in respect of all Notes issued under the Program m e
for the purposes of Article 8 of the Prospectus Regulation. When used in this Base Prospectus,
Prospectus Regulation means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129.
The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Base Prospectus and t he Final
Terms for each Tranche of Notes issued under the Programme. To the best of the knowle dge of t he
Issuer (having taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case) the information cont ained in
this Base Prospectus is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anyt hing likely t o af fe ct t he
import of such information.
This Base Prospectus is to be read in conjunction with all documents which are deemed to be
incorporated in it by reference (see "Documents Incorporated by Reference"). This Base Prospectus
shall be read and construed on the basis that those documents are incorporated and form part o f t his
Base Prospectus.
Other than in relation to the documents which are deemed to be incorporated by reference (see
"Documents Incorporated by Reference"), the information on the websites to which this Base
Prospectus refers does not form part of this Base Prospectus and has not been scrutinised or approve d
by the CSSF.
The Dealers have not independently verified the information contained herein. Accordingly, no
representation, warranty or undertaking, express or implied, is made and no responsibility or liabilit y
is accepted by the Dealers as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained or
incorporated in this Base Prospectus or any other information provided by the Iss uer in connect ion
with the Programme.
No person is or has been authorised by the Issuer to give any information or to make any
representation not contained in or not consistent with this Base Prospectus or any other inform ation
supplied in connection with the Programme or the Notes and, if given or made, such inform ation or
representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuer or any of the Dealers.
Neither this Base Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection with the Programme or
any Notes (a) is intended to provide the basis of any credit or other evaluation or (b) should be
considered as a recommendation by the Issuer or any of the Dealers that any recipie nt of t his Bas e
Prospectus or any other information supplied in connection with the Programme or any Notes s hould
purchase any Notes. Each investor contemplating purchasing any Notes should make its own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs, and its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness, of the Issuer. Neither this Base Prospectus nor any other inform ation supplie d in
connection with the Programme or the issue of any Notes constitutes an offer or invitat ion by or on
behalf of the Issuer or any of the Dealers to any person to subscribe for or to purchase any Notes.
Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus nor the offering, sale or delivery of any Notes shall in any
circumstances imply that the information contained in it concerning the Issuer is correct at any t im e
subsequent to its date or that any other information supplied in connection wit h t he Program m e is
correct as of any time subsequent to the date indicated in the document cont aining t he s ame. The
Dealers expressly do not undertake to review the financial condition or affairs of the Issuer during the
life of the Programme or to advise any investor in Notes issued under the Programme of any
information coming to their attention.
IMPORTANT EEA AND 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

4

investor in the European Economic Area (EEA) or in the United Kingdom (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 (11) of Article
4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, MiFID II); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive
(EU) 2016/97 (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 or in the UK has been
prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor
in the EEA or in the UK may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
MiFID II product governance / target market The Final Terms in respect of any Notes will inc lude 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 the Notes (a distributor) should take into consideration the target mar ket
assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own tar get mar ket
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 in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the Product
Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the MiFID 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 pur pose of the
MIFID Product Governance Rules.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION RELATING TO THE USE OF THIS BASE PROSPECTUS AND
OFFERS OF NOTES GENERALLY
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 Issuer 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, or assume any
responsibility for facilitating any such distribution or offering. In particular, no action has been taken by the
Issuer or the Dealers which is intended to permit a public offering of any Notes or distribution of this Bas e
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 distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will
result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations. Persons into whos e 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 EEA (including, for these
purposes, the United Kingdom, Italy, France and Belgium), Japan and the United States, see "Subscription
and Sale".
This Base Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Notes in any Member State of the
European Economic Area (each, a Member State) will be made pursuant to an exemption under the
Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of Notes. Accordingly any
person making or intending to make an offer in that Member State of Notes which are the subject of an
offering contemplated in this Base Prospectus as completed by Final Terms in relation to the of f er of thos e
Notes may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or any Dealer to publish a
prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Artic le

5

23 of the Prospectus Regulation, in each case, in relation to such offer. Neither the Issuer nor any Dealer
have authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of Notes in circumstances in which an
obligation arises for the Issuer or any Dealer to publish or supplement a prospectus for such offer.

potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what extent (1) Notes are
