In many countries it is unlawful to offer securities for sale without complying with such jurisdiction's applicable laws and
regulations. Accordingly, this Offering Circular may not be used for the purpose of, and does not constitute, an offer to sell or

which are expressed to be consolidated and form a single series and
are identical in all respects, but having different issue dates, interest
commencement dates, issue prices and/or dates for first interest

Registration and Listing:
The Bonds will be issued in the form of dematerialised bonds
registered in and held with Verdipapirsentralen ASA (trading as
`Euronext VPS') ("Euronext VPS"). Euronext VPS is the only
Norwegian centralised securities depository, and operates a
computerised book-entry system in which the ownership of, and all
transactions relating to, registered securities are recorded. All
transactions relating to securities registered with Euronext VPS are
made through computerised book entries. Euronext VPS confirms
each entry by sending a transcript to the registered holder
irrespective of beneficial ownership. To effect such entries, the
individual holder of securities must establish a VPS securities
account with an authorised account operator, which is usually a
bank or an investment firm licensed to operate in Norway. It is
possible for beneficial owners to register their holdings of securities
on the account of a nominee approved by the Financial Supervisory

4

Authority of Norway. Both Norwegian and foreign banks and
investment firms may be authorised to act as nominees.
The entry of a transaction in Euronext VPS is prima facie evidence
for determining the legal rights of the holder of a security as against
the issuer or any third party claiming an interest in the relevant
security.
Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for
the Bonds to be admitted to the Official List and to be admitted to
trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market.
Payment and Settlement:
Settlement of purchase and sale transactions takes place on a
registration against payment basis. The Bonds will be created and
held in uncertificated book-entry form in accounts with Euronext
VPS and title to the Bonds will be evidenced by book-entry
interests in accordance with the provisions of applicable legislation
and regulations for Euronext VPS as amended and supplemented
from time to time, and no physical document of title will be issued
in respect of the Bonds. The first issue of the Bonds will be settled
for value on 21 October 2020.
Payment of interest and principal to the holder of the Bonds will be
made through the Fiscal Agent (as defined below) by credit to the
cash accounts linked to each holder's Euronext VPS account.
The Bonds will also be eligible to be held in nominee accounts held
through international central securities depositories ("ICSDs").
ICSDs mean Euroclear Bank SA/NV and Clearstream Banking
S.A., Luxembourg. Payments on Bonds held in ICSD nominee
accounts will be made to the ICSDs for further distribution to the
holders.

sold or cancelled at the EIB's discretion.
Status of the Bonds:
Senior unsecured and unsubordinated. See "Terms and Conditions
of the Bonds - Status".

None.

cross-default clause. See "Terms and Conditions of the Bonds -
Events of Default".

RISK FACTORS
This section does not describe all the risks of an investment in the Bonds. Prospective purchasers should consult
their own professional advisers about the risks associated with investment in the Bonds and the suitability of
investing in the Bonds in the light of their particular circumstances.
General risk factors
Secondary market prices of bonds are affected by many factors, including prevailing interest rates and
expectations thereof. Bonds - especially long-dated bonds - may therefore trade periodically at prices below
their issue prices, implying a loss for the bondholders who dispose of bonds prior to their stated maturity. In
addition, the bondholders may find it difficult to sell bonds prior to their stated maturity at a price that reflects
the bondholders' opinion of the "fair value" of the bonds. They may find that no dealer, or only the dealer from
whom they originally bought the bonds, is prepared to quote a price to buy the bonds in the secondary market.
This is likely to be the case to a greater extent for bonds with a relatively small aggregate outstanding amount.
Historical values should not be taken as an indication of future values.
An investment in the Bonds also involves taking credit risk on the EIB. As of the date of this Offering Circular,
the EIB has a long term rating Aaa/AAA/AAA for Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's Rating
Services and Fitch Ratings respectively. The EIB cannot guarantee that these ratings will be maintained
throughout the term of the Bonds. It should be noted that a credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or
hold securities issued by the rated entity, and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time
by the assigning credit rating agency.
Investors should take note that the risks associated with the investment can change substantially throughout the
term of the Bonds.
Potential impact of benchmark discontinuation on the Bonds
Reference rates and indices, including interest rate benchmarks, such as the Norwegian Interbank Offered Rate
("NIBOR"), which are used to determine the amounts payable under financial instruments or the value of such
financial instruments ("Benchmarks"), are, and are anticipated to be, the subject of regulatory reform and
changes which may cause a Benchmark to perform differently than it has done in the past or to be discontinued.
Any change in the performance of a Benchmark or its discontinuation, could have a material adverse effect on
the value of, and return on, any Bonds referencing or linked to such Benchmark, including the Bonds.
Furthermore, even prior to the implementation of any changes, uncertainty as to the nature of alternative
reference rates and as to potential changes to such Benchmark may adversely affect such Benchmark during the
term of the Bonds, the return on the Bonds and the trading market for securities based on the same Benchmark.
The "Terms and Conditions of the Bonds" provide for certain fallback arrangements in relation to interest
calculations for Floating Rate Bonds in the event that a published Benchmark, including an inter-bank offered
rate such as NIBOR, (including any page on which such Benchmark may be published (or any successor
service)) becomes unavailable. In relation to the Bonds, the ultimate fallback for the purposes of calculation of
interest for a particular interest period is based on a determination of the interest rate to be made by the
Calculation Agent in its absolute discretion. There can be no assurance that the exercise of this discretion by
the Calculation Agent as to the interest rate to be used for any such interest period will not have an adverse
effect on the value of, and return on, the Bonds.
Investors should consider these matters when making their investment decision with respect to the Bonds.

mean of the rates quoted by major banks in Oslo at approximately the
Interest Determination Time on that Reset Date for loans in the Relevant
Currency to leading European banks for a period of the Designated

controls, NOK's replacement or disuse or the suspension of its
settlement by any clearing system relevant for payment in respect of any
Bond), the EIB will be entitled, but not obliged, to satisfy its obligations
to the holder of such Bond by making payment in euro or U.S. dollars
(at the option of the EIB) on the basis of the spot exchange rate at which
NOK can be sold in exchange for euro or U.S. dollars, as the case may
be, on the international foreign exchange market at noon, Luxembourg
time, two Business Days prior to the date on which payment is due or, if
such spot exchange rate is not available on that date, on the basis of an
exchange rate (which may be equal to zero) determined by the
Calculation Agent in its absolute discretion. Exercise by the EIB of its
