MiFID II Product Governance ­ Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process,
the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for
the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as
amended, "MiFID II") only; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and
professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a
"distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a
distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of
the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining
appropriate distribution channels.
In case of Notes listed on the official list and admitted to trading on the Regulated Market (which is a regulated
market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive 2014/65/EU) or on the professional
segment of the Regulated Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, or publicly offered in the Grand Duchy
of Luxembourg, the Final Terms will be displayed on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
(www.bourse.lu). In the case of Notes offered to the public in one or more member states of the European
Economic Area other than the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Final Terms will be displayed on the website
of GRENKE AG (http://www.grenke.de/en/investor-relations.html).

englischsprachige Übersetzung sind wie nachfolgend aufgeführt.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES
(ENGLISH LANGUAGE VERSION)


§ 1
CURRENCY, DENOMINATION, FORM, CERTAIN DEFINITIONS
(1) Currency; Denomination. This Series of Notes (the "Notes") of GRENKE FINANCE PLC ("GRENKE
FINANCE PLC" or the "Issuer") is being issued in euro ("") (the "Specified Currency") in the aggregate
principal amount (subject to § 1(4)) of 26,500,000 (in words: euro twenty-six mil ion five hundred
thousand) in a denomination of 1,000 (the "Specified Denomination").
(2) Form. The Notes are in bearer form.
(3) Temporary Global Note ­ Exchange.
(a) The Notes are initially represented by a temporary global note (the "Temporary Global Note")
without coupons. The Temporary Global Note wil be exchangeable for Notes in the Specified
Denomination represented by a permanent global note (the "Permanent Global Note") without
coupons. The Temporary Global Note and the Permanent Global Note shall each be signed by two
authorised signatories of the Issuer and shall each be authenticated by or on behalf of the Fiscal
Agent. Definitive Notes and interest coupons wil not be issued.
(b) The Temporary Global Note shall be exchangeable for the Permanent Global Note from a date (the
"Exchange Date") 40 days after the date of issue of the Temporary Global Note. Such exchange
shall only be made upon delivery of certifications to the effect that the beneficial owner or owners of
the Notes represented by the Temporary Global Note is not a U. S. person (other than certain
financial institutions or certain persons holding Notes through such financial institutions) as required
by U.S. tax law. Payment of interest on Notes represented by a Temporary Global Note wil be made
only after delivery of such certifications. A separate certification shall be required in respect of each
such payment of interest. Any such certification received on or after the 40th day after the date of
issue of the Temporary Global Note will be treated as a request to exchange such Temporary Global
Note pursuant to this subparagraph (b) of this § 1(3). Any securities delivered in exchange for the
Temporary Global Note shall be delivered only outside of the United States. For purposes of these
Terms and Conditions, "United States" means the United States of America (including the States
thereof and the District of Columbia) and its possessions (including Puerto Rico, the U. S. Virgin
Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Wake Island and Northern Mariana Islands).
(4) Clearing System. The global note representing the Notes wil be kept in custody by or on behalf of the
Clearing System until al obligations of the Issuer under the Notes have been satisfied. "Clearing System"

and any successor in such capacity.
The Notes are issued in new global note ("NGN") form and are kept in custody by a common safekeeper
on behalf of both ICSDs.
The aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the global note shall be the aggregate amount
from time to time entered in the records of both ICSDs. The records of the ICSDs (which expression means
the records that each ICSD holds for its customers which reflect the amount of such customer's interest in
the Notes) shall be conclusive evidence of the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the
global note and, for these purposes, a statement issued by an ICSD stating the amount of Notes so
represented at any time shall be conclusive evidence of the records of the relevant ICSD at that time.

3



On any redemption or payment of interest being made in respect of, or purchase and cancellation of, any
of the Notes represented by the global note the Issuer shall procure that details of any redemption, payment
or purchase and cancellation (as the case may be) in respect of the global note shall be entered pro rata
in the records of the ICSDs and, upon any such entry being made, the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes recorded in the records of the ICSDs and represented by the global note shall be reduced by the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes so redeemed or purchased and cancelled.

procure that details of such exchange shall be entered pro rata in the records of the ICSDs.
(5) Holder of Notes. "Holder" means any Holder of a proportionate co-ownership or other beneficial interest
or right in the Notes.

grant or permit to subsist any encumbrance over any or all of its present or future Assets, as security for
any present or future Capital Market Indebtedness issued or guaranteed by the Issuer or by any other
person, without at the same time having the Holders share equally and rateably in such. Within the meaning
of this subparagraph (2), the word "encumbrance" shall not comprise any asset-backed or factoring
transaction.
"Capital Market Indebtedness" within the meaning of this § 2 means any obligation for the payment of
borrowed money which is in the form of, or represented or evidenced by, a certificate of indebtedness or in
the form of, or represented by, bonds, notes or other securities which are or are capable of being quoted,

"Assets" within the meaning of this § 2(1) shal not include any receivables currently or in the future
assigned by the Issuer for the purposes of re-financing or other assets used as security for such assigned
receivables or as security of claims arising from the transaction on which such assignment is based.
(3) Guarantee and Negative Pledge of the Guarantor. GRENKE AG, or the "Guarantor", has given its
unconditional and irrevocable guarantee (the "Guarantee") for the due and punctual payment of principal
of and interest on and any other amounts payable in respect of the Notes.
The Guarantor has further undertaken in a negative pledge (the "Negative Pledge"), so long as any of the
Notes remains outstanding, but only up to the time al amounts of principal and interest have been placed
at the disposal of the Fiscal Agent, that it wil (i) neither grant nor permit to subsist any encumbrance over
any or all or its present or future Assets, as security for any present or future Capital Market Indebtedness
(as defined above) issued or guaranteed by the Guarantor or by any of its Principal Subsidiaries or by any
other person, and (i ) to the extent to which it is in a position to do so in the relevant moment in a legally
permissible manner, procure that none of its Principal Subsidiaries wil grant or permit to subsist any
encumbrance over any or al of its future Assets, as security for any present or future Capital Market
Indebtedness issued or guaranteed by the Issuer or by any of its Principal Subsidiaries or by any other
person, without at the same time having the Holders share equally and rateably in such security other than
any encumbrance existing over Assets of a newly acquired company which becomes a Principal
Subsidiary. Within the meaning of this subparagraph (3), the word "encumbrance" shall not comprise any
asset-backed or factoring transaction.
"Assets" within the meaning of this § 2(3) shal not include any receivables currently or in the future

AG to have been made up, are at least 5% of the total net sales of GRENKE AG and its consolidated
subsidiaries as shown by such audited consolidated accounts or (i ) whose total assets as shown by the
audited non-consolidated accounts (or, where the consolidated subsidiary in question itself prepares

shown by audited consolidated accounts. A report by the GRENKE AG's auditors that in their opinion a
consolidated subsidiary is or is not or was or was not at a specified date a Principal Subsidiary shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties.
The Guarantee and Negative Pledge constitute a contract for the benefit of Holders from time to
time as third party beneficiaries in accordance with § 328(1) BGB (German Civil Code)1, giving rise
to the right of each Holder to require performance of the Guarantee and the Negative Pledge directly
from the Guarantor and to enforce the Guarantee and the Negative Pledge directly against the
Guarantor.

Fiscal Agent.

withholding or deduction required pursuant to an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the U.S.
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through
1474 of the Code, any regulations or agreements thereunder, any official interpretations thereof, or any law
implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto, payments of amounts due in respect of the Notes
shall be made in the Specified Currency.
(3) Discharge. The Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor shall be discharged by payment to, or to
the order of, the Clearing System.

For these purposes, "Payment Business Day" means any day which is a day (other than a Saturday or a
Sunday) on which the Clearing System as well as all relevant parts of the Trans-European Automated Real-
time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System 2 ("TARGET") are open to effect payments.
(5) References to Principal and Interest. Reference in these Terms and Conditions to principal in respect
of the Notes shall be deemed to include, as applicable, the Final Redemption Amount of the Notes; and
any premium and any other amounts which may be payable under or in respect of the Notes. Reference in
these Terms and Conditions to interest in respect of the Notes shall be deemed to include, as applicable,
any Additional Amounts which may be payable under § 7.
(6) Deposit of Principal and Interest. The Issuer may deposit with the local court (Amtsgericht) in Frankfurt
am Main principal or interest not claimed by Holders within twelve months after the Maturity Date, even
though such Holders may not be in default of acceptance of payment. If and to the extent that the deposit
is effected and the right of withdrawal is waived, the respective claims of such Holders against the Issuer
shall cease.

§ 5
REDEMPTION
(1) Redemption at Maturity. Unless previously redeemed in whole or in part or purchased and cancelled,
the Notes shall be redeemed at their Final Redemption Amount on 9 October 2026 (the "Maturity Date").
The "Final Redemption Amount" in respect of each Note shall be its principal amount.
(2) Early Redemption for Reasons of Taxation. If as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws
or regulations of the Republic of Ireland or the Federal Republic of Germany or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereto or therein affecting taxation or the obligation to pay duties of any kind, or any change
in, or amendment to, an official interpretation or application of such laws or regulations, which amendment
or change is effective on or after the date on which the last tranche of this series of Notes was issued, the
Issuer is required to pay Additional Amounts (as defined in § 7 herein) on the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date (as defined in § 3 (1)), and this obligation cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable
measures available to the Issuer, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, at the option of the
Issuer, upon not more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' prior notice of redemption given to the Fiscal
Agent and, in accordance with § 13 to the Holders, at their Final Redemption Amount (as defined below),
together with interest (if any) accrued to the date fixed for redemption.
However, no such notice of redemption may be given (i) earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on
which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts when a payment in respect of the
Notes are then due, or (i ) if at the time such notice is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts
does not remain in effect.
Any such notice shall be given in accordance with § 13. It shall be irrevocable, must specify the date fixed
for redemption and must set forth a statement in summary form of the facts constituting the basis for the
right of the Issuer so to redeem.
(3) Change of Control. If there occurs a Change of Control and within the Change of Control Period a Rating
Downgrade in respect of that Change of Control occurs (together called a "Put Event"), each Holder wil
have the option (unless, prior to the giving of the Put Event Notice referred to below, the Issuer gives notice
to redeem the Notes in accordance with § 5(2)) to require the Issuer to redeem that Notes on the Optional
Redemption Date at their Final Redemption Amount together with interest accrued to but excluding the
Optional Redemption Date.

For the purposes of such option:
"Rating Agency" means each of the rating agencies of Standard and Poor's Rating Services, a division of
The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("S&P") or any successor or any other rating agency of equivalent
international standing specified from time to time by GRENKE AG;
A "Rating Downgrade" shall be deemed to have occurred in respect of a Change of Control (a) if within
the Change of Control Period any rating previously assigned to the Notes by any Rating Agency is (i)
withdrawn or (i ) changed from an investment grade rating (BBB by S&P or its equivalent for the time being,
or better) to a non-investment grade rating (BB+ by S&P or its equivalent for the time being, or worse) or
(i i) (if the rating assigned to the Notes by any Rating Agency shall be below an investment grade rating)
lowered one ful rating notch (from BB+ to BB by S&P or such similar lower of equivalent rating) or (b) if at
the time of the Change of Control, there is no rating assigned to the Notes and no Rating Agency assigns
during the Change of Control Period an investment grade credit rating to the Notes (unless GRENKE AG
is unable to obtain such a rating within such period having used all reasonable endeavours to do so and
such failure is unconnected with the occurrence of the Change of Control);
A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred at each time (whether or not approved by the
Management Board or Supervisory Board of GRENKE AG) that any person or persons (other than
Wolfgang Grenke and/or his legal heir(s) (gesetzliche Erben) holding shares directly or indirectly)
("Relevant Person(s)") acting in concert or any person or persons acting on behalf of any such Relevant
Person(s), at any time directly or indirectly acquire(s) or come(s) to own (i) more than 50% of the issued
ordinary share capital of GRENKE AG or (i ) such number of the shares in the capital of GRENKE AG
carrying more than 50% of the voting rights normally exercisable at the general meeting of the shareholders
of GRENKE AG;
"Change of Control Period" means the period ending 120 days after the occurrence of the Change of
Control; and
The "Optional Redemption Date" is the seventh day after the last day of the Put Period.
Promptly upon the Issuer becoming aware that a Put Event has occurred, the Issuer shall give notice (a
"Put Event Notice") to the Holders in accordance with § 13 specifying the nature of the Put Event and the
circumstances giving rise to it and the procedure for exercising the option set out in this § 5(3).
In order to exercise such option, the Holder must send to the specified office of the Fiscal Agent an early
redemption notice in text format (Textform, e.g. email or fax) or in written form ("Put Notice") within the
period (the "Put Period") of 45 days after a Put Event Notice is given. In the event the Put Notice is received
after 5:00 p.m. Frankfurt time on the 45th day after the Put Event Notice is given, the option shal not have
been validly exercised. The Put Notice must specify (i) the total principal amount of the Notes in respect of
which such option is exercised, and (i ) the securities identification numbers of such Notes, if any. The Put
Notice may be in the form available from the specified offices of the Fiscal Agent in the German and English
language and includes further information. No option so exercised may be revoked or withdrawn. The
Issuer shall only be required to redeem Notes in respect of which such option is exercised against delivery
of such Notes to the Issuer or to its order.

§ 6
FISCAL AGENT AND PAYING AGENT
(1) Appointment; Specified Offices. The initial Fiscal Agent and Paying Agent and their respective initial
specified offices are:
Fiscal Agent and Paying Agent:
Deutsche Bank Aktiengesel schaft

The Fiscal Agent and the Paying Agent reserve the right at any time to change their respective specified
offices to some other specified office in the same country.
(2) Variation or Termination of Appointment. The Issuer reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate
the appointment of the Fiscal Agent or any Paying Agent and to appoint another Fiscal Agent or additional

immediate effect) after not less than 30 nor more than 45 days' prior notice thereof shal have been given
to the Holders in accordance with § 13.
(3) Agents of the Issuer. The Fiscal Agent and the Paying Agent act solely as agents of the Issuer and do

§ 7
TAXATION
Principal and interest shall be payable by the Issuer without deduction or withholding for or on account of
any present or future taxes, duties or governmental charges of any nature whatsoever imposed, levied or
collected by or in or on behalf of the Republic of Ireland or the Federal Republic of Germany or by or on
behalf of any political subdivision or authority therein having power to tax (hereinafter together called
"Withholding Taxes"), unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. In such event, the Issuer
shall pay such additional amounts of principal and interest as may be necessary in order that the net
amounts received by the Holder after such deduction or withholding shal equal the respective amounts of
principal and interest which would have been receivable had no such deduction or withholding been
required. No such additional amounts shall, however, be payable on account of any taxes, duties or
governmental charges which
(a) are payable by any person acting as custodian bank or collecting agent on behalf of a Holder, or
otherwise in any manner which does not constitute a deduction or withholding by the Issuer from
payments of principal or interest made by it; or
(b) are payable by reason of the Holder having, or having had, some personal or business connection
with the Republic of Ireland or the Federal Republic of Germany and not merely by reason of the fact
that payments in respect of the Notes are, or for purposes of taxation are deemed to be, derived from
sources in, or are secured in the Republic of Ireland or the Federal Republic of Germany; or
(c) are deducted or withheld pursuant to (i) any European Union directive or regulation concerning the
taxation of interest income, or (i ) any international treaty or understanding relating to such taxation
and to which the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Ireland or the European Union is a
party, or (i i) any provision of law implementing, or complying with, or introduced to conform with,
such directive, regulation, treaty or understanding; or
(d) are payable by reason of a change in a law that becomes effective more than 30 days after the
relevant payment of principal or interest becomes due, or is duly provided for and notice thereof is
published in accordance with § 13, whichever occurs later.

§ 8
PRESENTATION PERIOD
The presentation period provided in § 801 subparagraph 1, sentence 1 BGB (German Civil Code) is
reduced to ten years for the Notes.

§ 9
EVENTS OF DEFAULT

Principal Subsidiaries becomes prematurely repayable as a result of a default in respect of the terms
thereof, or the Issuer or the Guarantor or any of its Principal Subsidiaries fails to fulfil any payment
obligation in excess of 10,000,000 or the equivalent thereof under any Capital Market Indebtedness
or under any guarantee or suretyship given for any Capital Market Indebtedness of others within
30 days from its due date or, in the case of a guarantee or suretyship, within 30 days after the

8



guarantee or suretyship has been invoked, unless the Issuer, or the Guarantor or the relevant
Principal Subsidiary shall contest in good faith that such payment obligation exists or is due or that
such guarantee or suretyship has been validly invoked, or if a security granted therefor is enforced
on behalf of or by the creditor(s) entitled thereto, or
(d) the Issuer or the Guarantor or any of its Principal Subsidiaries announces its inability to meet its
financial obligations or ceases its payments, or
(e) the Issuer or the Guarantor or any of the Principal Subsidiaries of the Guarantor applies for, or a
court opens against any of them, bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, examinership or similar
proceedings or a liquidator, examiner, conservator or similar officer is appointed or a third party
applies for bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, examinership or similar proceedings against the
Issuer or the Guarantor or any of the Principal Subsidiaries of the Guarantor and such proceedings
