(An association established pursuant to Act No. 35 of 19 March 1898 of The Kingdom of Denmark succeeded as of
1 January 2007 by Act no. 383 of 3 May 2006, as amended, of The Kingdom of Denmark)
EUR30,000,000,000
Euro Medium Term Note Programme
for the issue of Notes
due from one month to 40 years from the date of issue
KommuneKredit (the "Issuer"), subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and directives, may from time to time issue
Euro Medium Term Notes (the "Notes") denominated in such currencies as may be agreed with the Purchaser(s) (as defined below). The Notes
will have maturities from one month to 40 years from the date of issue (except as set out herein) and, subject as set out herein, the maximum
aggregate nominal amount of all Notes from time to time outstanding will not exceed EUR30,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies at
the time of agreement to issue, subject as further set out herein).
The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified on page 8 (each, a "Dealer" and together,
the "Dealers", which expressions shall include any additional Dealer appointed under this EUR30,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note
Programme (the "Programme") from time to time). Notes may also be issued directly by the Issuer to persons other than Dealers. Dealers and
such other persons are referred to as "Purchasers".
This Information Memorandum and any supplement hereto does not comprise a Prospectus for the purposes of Regulation (EU
2017/1129) (the "Prospectus Regulation") or Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of United Kingdom ("UK") domestic law by virtue of
the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA").
The Notes are securities which are in the manner set forth in the Articles of Association of KommuneKredit unconditionally and
irrevocably guaranteed by the members of KommuneKredit which comprise of kommuner (municipalities) and regioner (regions) of the EU
Member State Denmark and thus remain unaffected by the Prospectus Regulation.
Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the Notes to be issued under the 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 for the
period of 12 months from the date of this Information Memorandum. The Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market is a regulated market
for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"). This Information Memorandum constitutes an alleviated prospectus for the
purposes of Chapter 2, Part III of the Luxembourg law dated 16 July 2019 on Prospectuses for Securities. Unlisted Notes and Notes listed on
other or additional stock exchanges may also be issued under the Programme.
The Programme has been rated Aaa/P-1 by Moody's Investors Service (Nordics) AB ("Moody's") and AAA/A-1+ by S&P Global
Ratings Europe Limited ("S&P"). Each of Moody's and S&P is established in the European Economic Area ("EEA") or the UK and registered
under Regulation (EU) No 1060/2009, as amended (the "CRA Regulation"). Each of Moody's and S&P appears on the latest update of the list
of registered credit rating agencies (as of 4 January 2021) on the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") website at
https://www.esma.europa.eu/supervision/credit-rating-agencies/risk. Notes issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated. When a
tranche of Notes is rated, such rating will not necessarily be the same as the ratings assigned to the Programme. A security rating is not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension cancellation, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the
assigning rating agency.

The purpose of this Information Memorandum is to give information with regard to the Issuer
and the Notes. The Issuer has warranted to the Dealers that, inter alia, this Information Memorandum is
true and accurate in all material respects, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact nor
omit to state any material fact known to the Issuer necessary to make the statements herein not
misleading and all reasonable enquiries have been made to ascertain such facts and to verify the
accuracy of all such statements. The Issuer accepts responsibility accordingly.
This Information Memorandum is to be read in conjunction with all the documents which are
deemed to be incorporated herein by reference (see "Documents Incorporated by Reference" on
page 6). This Information Memorandum shall be read and construed on the basis that such documents
are so incorporated and form part of this Information Memorandum.
The Dealers have not separately verified the information contained herein. Accordingly, no
representation, warranty or undertaking, express or implied, is made and no responsibility is accepted
by the Dealers as to the accuracy or completeness of the financial information contained in this
Information Memorandum, or any other financial statements or any further information supplied in

contained in or not consistent with this Information Memorandum or any other financial statements or
further information supplied in connection with the Programme or the Notes and, if given or made, such
information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuer or by any
of the Dealers.
Neither this Information Memorandum nor any other financial statements nor any further

of any credit or other evaluation and should not be considered as a recommendation by the Issuer or
any of the Dealers that any recipient of this Information Memorandum or any other financial statements
or any further information supplied in connection with the Programme or the Notes should purchase any
of the Notes. Each investor contemplating purchasing Notes should make its own independent
investigation of the financial condition and affairs, and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness, of the
Issuer. None of this Information Memorandum, any other financial statements or any further information
supplied in connection with the Programme or the Notes constitute an offer or invitation by or on behalf

contained herein concerning the Issuer is correct at any time subsequent to the date hereof or that any
other financial statements or any further information supplied in connection with the Programme or the
Notes is correct as of any time subsequent to the date indicated in the document containing the same.
The Dealers expressly do not undertake to review the financial condition or affairs of the Issuer or any of
its subsidiaries during the life of the Programme.
Investors should review, inter alia, the most recent financial statements of the Issuer when
deciding whether or not to purchase any of the Notes.
Singapore SFA Product Classification: In connection with Section 309B of the Securities and
Futures Act (Chapter 289) of Singapore (the "SFA") and the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets
Products) Regulations 2018 of Singapore (the "CMP Regulations 2018"), unless otherwise specified
before an offer of Notes, the Issuer has determined, and hereby notifies all relevant persons (as defined
in Section 309A(1) of the SFA), that the Notes are `prescribed capital markets products' (as defined in
the CMP Regulations 2018) and Excluded Investment Products (as defined in MAS Notice SFA 04-N12:
Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and MAS Notice FAA-N16: Notice on Recommendations on
Investment Products).
The Issuer and the Dealers do not represent that this document may be lawfully distributed, or
that the Notes may be lawfully offered, in compliance with any applicable registration or other
requirements in any 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
2
LON61155434

the Issuer or the Dealers which would permit a public offering of the Notes or distribution of this
document in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, the Notes may not
be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and neither this Information Memorandum 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 and the
Dealers have represented that all offers and sales by them will be made on the same terms.
The distribution of this Information Memorandum and the offer or sale of the Notes may be
restricted by law in certain jurisdictions. Persons into whose possession this Information Memorandum
or any Notes come must inform themselves about, and observe, any such restrictions. In particular,
there are restrictions on the distribution of this Information Memorandum and/or the offer or sale of the
Notes in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Hong Kong, France, Belgium and Canada (see
"Subscription and Sale" on page 73).
Amounts payable under the Notes may be calculated by reference to LIBOR or EURIBOR (each
as defined below). As at the date of this Information Memorandum, the administrator of LIBOR and the
administrator of EURIBOR each appear on the register of administrators and benchmarks established
and maintained by the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") pursuant to Article 36 of the
Benchmarks Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/1011) (the "EU Benchmarks Regulation") and the register
of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by the UK Financial Conduct Authority
(the "FCA") pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the
European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA") (the "UK Benchmarks Regulation"). As far as the
Issuer is aware, the transitional provisions in Article 51 of the Benchmarks Regulation apply, such that
administrators are not currently required to obtain authorisation or registration (or, if located outside the
European Union, recognition, endorsement or equivalence).
MiFID II product governance / target market. The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may
include a legend entitled "MiFID II / 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 person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into
consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to Directive 2014/65/EU (as
amended, "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.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the
MiFID Product Governance rules under EU Delegate 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 Issuer, the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a
manufacturer for the purpose of the MiFID Product Governance Rules.
UK MiFIR product governance / target market The Final Terms may include a legend entitled
"MiFID II / 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 person subsequently
offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "UK distributor") should take into consideration the
target market assessment; however, a UK distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention
and Product Governance Sourcebook (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.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of 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.
EU PRIIPs / UK PRIIPs As the Notes are securities which are, in the manner set forth in the
Articles of Association of KommuneKredit, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by the members
of KommuneKredit which comprise of kommuner (municipalities) and regioner (regions) of the EU
Member State Denmark, Regulation (EU) 1286/2014 (as amended, the "EU PRIIPs Regulation") and
Regulation (EU) 1286/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs
Regulation") will not apply to any Notes issued under the Programme. Accordingly, the Issuer will not
prepare a key information document (within the meaning of the EU PRIIPs Regulation and/or the UK
PRIIPs Regulation, as applicable) in respect of any Notes issued under the Programme.

LON61155434

The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and include Notes in bearer form that 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
U.S. persons (see "Subscription and Sale" on page 73).
In this Information Memorandum, references to "DKK" and "Kroner" are to Danish kroner,

dollars, references to "£" and "Sterling" are to pounds Sterling and references to "yen" are to Japanese

Dealers (if any) named as Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising
Manager(s)) in the relevant Final Terms (as defined on page 7) may over-allot Notes or effect
transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Notes at a higher level than that which
might otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons
acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) will undertake stabilisation action. Any stabilising action
may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the final terms of the offer of the
relevant Tranche of Notes is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than
the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche of Notes and 60 days after the date of
the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment shall be
conducted by the Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) in
accordance with all applicable laws and rules.

The issue price, issue date, maturity date, nominal amount, interest rate (if any) applicable to a Note
and any other relevant provisions of such Note will be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant

The euro equivalent of Dual Currency Notes, Indexed Notes, Zero Coupon Notes or other Notes
issued at a discount or a premium shall be calculated in the manner specified above by reference to
the original nominal amount of any particular issue. The nominal amount of Partly Paid Notes will be
