African Development Bank
Global Debt Issuance Facility
For issues of Notes with maturities of one day or longer
This Information Memorandum comprises neither a base prospectus for the purposes of Article 5.4
of Directive 2003/71/EC (the ``Prospectus Directive'') nor a document for listing purposes under the Euro
MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange but does comprise a base prospectus solely for the
purposes of the Luxembourg Law on prospectuses for securities insofar as it applies to exempt issuers
under Article 1(2)(b) of the Prospectus Directive. Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange for notes (the ``Notes'') issued under the global debt issuance facility (the ``Facility'') described
in this Information Memorandum to be admitted to the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
(the ``Official List'') and to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The
regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange is the regulated market for the purposes of
Directive 2004/39/EC on Markets in Financial Instruments. References in this Information Memorandum
to Notes being ``listed'' (and all related references) shall mean that such Notes have been admitted to the
Official List and admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market. The Facility
provides that Notes may be listed on such other or further stock exchange(s) as may be agreed between
the Bank and the relevant Dealer(s) in relation to each issue. Unlisted Notes may also be issued pursuant
to the Facility. The applicable Pricing Supplement in respect of the issue of any Notes will specify
whether and on which exchange such Notes will be listed or whether such Notes will be unlisted. This
Information Memorandum supersedes and replaces the Information Memorandum dated 8 July 2008.

reasonable care to ensure that the information concerning the Bank contained in this Information
Memorandum is true and accurate in all material respects on the date of this Information Memorandum
and that as of the date hereof there are no other material facts in relation to the Bank the omission of which
would make misleading any statement herein, whether of fact or of opinion.
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 liability is
accepted by the Dealers as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained or incorporated in

Information Memorandum or any pricing supplement (each a ``Pricing Supplement'', referred to on page 8
hereof and comprising final terms solely for the purposes of the Luxembourg Law on prospectuses for
securities insofar as it applies to exempt issuers under Article 1(2)(b) of the Prospectus Directive) in
connection with the offering of the Notes. If any such information or representation is nevertheless given or

The Notes may not be offered, sold or delivered, nor may this Information Memorandum, any Pricing
Supplement or any other offering material be distributed, in any country or jurisdiction except in

will be taken by the Bank or the Dealers that would permit a public offering of the Notes or the circulation
or distribution of this Information Memorandum, in proof or final form, any Pricing Supplement, or any
offering material in relation to the Bank or the Notes in any country or jurisdiction where action for that
purpose is required.
The Notes are not required to be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the ``Securities Act''). Accordingly, no registration statement has been filed with the US Securities and
Exchange Commission (the ``Commission''). THE NOTES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR
DISAPPROVED BY THE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS
THE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE

named as the Stabilising Manager(s) in the applicable Pricing Supplement (or any person(s) acting on
behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) may over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting

assurance that the Stabilising Manager(s) (or any agent of the Stabilising Manager(s)) will undertake
stabilisation action. Any stabilisation action may begin at any time after the adequate public disclosure of
