AKTIA BANK PLC
(incorporated with limited liability in Finland)
3,000,000,000
Euro Medium Term Note and Covered Bond Programme
Under this 3,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note and Covered Bond Programme (the Programme), Aktia Bank plc (the Issuer)
may from time to time issue Euro medium term notes (the Notes) and mortgage-backed notes issued in accordance with the CBA (as
defined below) (the Covered Bonds) denominated in any currency agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer (as defined
below).
The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Notes and Covered Bonds from time to time outstanding under the Programme will
not exceed 3,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies calculated as described in the Programme Agreement described
herein), subject to increase as described herein.
Notes may be issued (i) on an unsubordinated basis with the ranking described in Condition 2.1 of the "Terms and Conditions of the
Notes" below (Senior Preferred Notes), (ii) on an unsubordinated basis as senior non-preferred Notes with the ranking described in
Condition 2.2 of the "Terms and Conditions of the Notes" below (Senior Non-Preferred Notes) or (iii) on a subordinated basis with
the ranking described in Condition 2.3 of the "Terms and Conditions of the Notes" below (Subordinated Notes), as specified in the
applicable Final Terms (as defined below).
The Notes and Covered Bonds may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified under "Overview of the
Programme" and any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme from time to time by the Issuer (each a Dealer and together
the Dealers), which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an on-going basis. References in this Base Prospectus to the
relevant Dealer shall, in the case of an issue of Notes or Covered Bonds being (or intended to be) subscribed by more than one
Dealer, be to all Dealers agreeing to subscribe such Notes or Covered Bonds.
An investment in Notes and Covered Bonds issued under the Programme involves certain risks. For a discussion of these
risks see "Risk Factors".
Application has been made to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the CSSF) in its capacity as competent
authority under the Luxembourg Act dated 10 July 2005 on prospectuses for securities (the Prospectus Act 2005) to approve this
document as a base prospectus. By approving this Base Prospectus the CSSF assumes no responsibility for the economic and
financial soundness of the transactions contemplated by this Base Prospectus or the quality or solvency of the Issuer in accordance
with Article 7(7) of the Prospectus Act 2005. Application has also been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes and
Covered Bonds 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.
References in this Base Prospectus to Notes and Covered Bonds being listed (and all related references) shall mean that such Notes
and Covered Bonds have been admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market and have been admitted to
the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market is a regulated market for
the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended (MiFID II).
Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes and Covered Bonds, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes and Covered
Bonds, the issue price of Notes and Covered Bonds and certain other information which is applicable to each Tranche (as defined
under "Terms and Conditions of the Notes" and "Terms and Conditions of the Covered Bonds") of Notes and Covered Bonds will be
set out in a final terms document (the Final Terms) which will be filed with the CSSF. Copies of Final Terms in relation to Notes
and Covered Bonds to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange will also be published on the website of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange (www.bourse.lu).
The Programme provides that Notes and Covered Bonds may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or
further stock exchanges or markets as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer. The Issuer may also issue unlisted
Notes and unlisted Covered Bonds and/or Notes and Covered Bonds not admitted to trading on any market. The CSSF has neither
approved nor reviewed information contained in this Base Prospectus in connection with such unlisted Notes or Covered Bonds.
As at the date of this Base Prospectus, the Issuer has been assigned a long-term/short-term borrowing rating of A3/P-2 by Moody's
Investors Service Ltd. (Moody's) and a counterparty credit rating of A-/A-2 by S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited (S&P).
The Covered Bonds issued under the Programme are expected to be rated Aaa by Moody's. Notes and Covered Bonds issued under
the Programme may however also be unrated. Where a Tranche of Notes or Covered Bonds is rated, such rating will be disclosed in
the Final Terms.
Each of Moody's and S&P is established in the European Union and are registered under the Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 (as
amended) (the CRA Regulation). As such, each of Moody's and S&P is included in the list of credit rating agencies published by the
European Securities and Markets Authority on its website (at http://www.esma.europa.eu/page/List-registered-and-certified-CRAs)
in accordance with the CRA Regulation. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject
to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.

This Base Prospectus comprises a base prospectus in respect of all Notes and Covered Bonds issued
under the Programme for the purposes of Article 5.4 of the Prospectus Directive. Prospectus Directive
means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended or superseded) and includes any relevant implementing
measures in the Relevant Member State.
The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Base Prospectus and the Final
Terms for each Tranche of Notes and Covered Bonds issued under the Programme. To the best of the
knowledge of the Issuer (having taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case) the
information contained in this Base Prospectus is in accordance with the facts and does not omit
anything likely to affect the import of such information.
This Base Prospectus is to be read in conjunction with all documents which are deemed to be
incorporated herein by reference (see "Documents Incorporated by Reference"). This Base Prospectus
shall be read and construed on the basis that such documents are incorporated and form part of this
Base Prospectus.
Save for the Issuer, no other party has 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 by reference in this Base Prospectus or any other information provided by the Issuer in
connection with the Programme. No Dealer accepts any liability in relation to the information
contained or incorporated by reference in this Base Prospectus or any other information provided by
the Issuer in connection 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 information
supplied in connection with the Programme or the Notes and the Covered Bonds and, if given or made,
such information 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 or Covered Bonds (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 recipient of
this Base Prospectus or any other information supplied in connection with the Programme or any
Notes or Covered Bonds should purchase any Notes or Covered Bonds. Each investor contemplating
purchasing any Notes or Covered Bonds 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 information supplied in connection with the Programme or the
issue of any Notes or Covered Bonds constitutes an offer or invitation by or on behalf of the Issuer or
any of the Dealers to any person to subscribe for or to purchase any Notes or Covered Bonds.
Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus nor the offering, sale or delivery of any Notes or Covered
Bonds shall in any circumstances imply that the information contained herein concerning the Issuer is
correct at any time subsequent to the date hereof or that any other information supplied in connection
with the Programme 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 during the life of the Programme or to advise any investor in the Notes or Covered
Bonds of any information coming to their attention. Investors should review, inter alia, the most
recently published documents incorporated by reference into this Base Prospectus when deciding
whether or not to purchase any Notes or Covered Bonds.

Amounts payable on Floating Rate Notes, Fixed Reset Notes and Floating Rate Covered Bonds may, if
so specified in the applicable Final Terms, be calculated by reference to one of LIBOR, EURIBOR,
STIBOR, NIBOR, CHF LIBOR, GBP LIBOR or USD LIBOR (BBA). As at the date of this Base
Prospectus, ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (as administrator of LIBOR, CHF LIBOR, GBP
LIBOR and USD LIBOR (BBA)) and European Money Markets Institute (as administrator of
EURIBOR) are included in ESMA's register of administrators under Article 36 of the Regulation (EU)
No. 2016/1011 (the Benchmarks Regulation). As at the date of this Base Prospectus, the administrators
of STIBOR or NIBOR are not included in ESMA's register of administrators under Article 36 of the
Benchmarks Regulation. As far as the Issuer is aware, the transitional provisions in Article 51 of the
Benchmarks Regulation apply, such that none of the Swedish Bankers' Association (as administrator
of STIBOR) and Norske Finansielle Referanser AS (as administrator of NIBOR), is currently required
to obtain authorisation or registration (or, if located outside the European Union, recognition,
endorsement or equivalence).
IMPORTANT ­ EEA RETAIL INVESTORS
If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes or Covered Bonds includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales
to EEA Retail Investors", the Notes or Covered Bonds 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 investor in the
European Economic Area (EEA). 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 MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the
meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC (as amended or superseded, the Insurance Mediation 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 the Prospectus Directive. Consequently no key information
document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or
selling the Notes or Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has
been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or Covered Bonds or otherwise making them
available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE AND TARGET MARKET
The Final Terms in respect of any Notes or Covered Bonds may include a legend entitled "MiFID II product
governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes or Covered Bonds and
which channels for distribution of the Notes or Covered Bonds are appropriate. Any person subsequently
offering, selling or recommending the Notes or Covered Bonds (a distributor) should take into consideration
the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its
own target market assessment in respect of the Notes or Covered Bonds (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 or Covered Bonds is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes or Covered
Bonds, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a
manufacturer for the purpose of the MIFID Product Governance Rules.
SINGAPORE: SECTION 309B(1)(C) NOTIFICATION
In connection with Section 309B of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289) of Singapore, as modified
or amended from time to time (the SFA) and the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products)
Regulations 2018 of Singapore (the CMP Regulations 2018), the Issuer has, unless otherwise specified in
the applicable Final Terms, determined the classification of all Notes and Covered Bonds to be issued under
the Programme as prescribed capital markets products (as defined in the CMP Regulations 2018) and
Excluded Investment Products (as defined in MSA Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment
Products and MAS Notice FAA-N16: Notice on Recommendations on Investment Products).

Bonds 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 Covered
Bonds or distribution of this Base Prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is
required. Accordingly, no Notes or Covered Bonds may be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and
neither this Base Prospectus nor any advertisement or other offering material may be distributed or

The Notes or Covered Bonds may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Each potential
investor in the Notes or Covered Bonds must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its
own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor may wish to consider, either on its own or
with the help of its financial and other professional advisers, whether it:
(i)
has sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Notes or
Covered Bonds, the merits and risks of investing in the Notes or Covered Bonds and the
information contained or incorporated by reference in this Base Prospectus or any applicable
supplement;
(ii)
has access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation, an investment in the Notes or Covered Bonds and the impact the
Notes or Covered Bonds will have on its overall investment portfolio;
(iii)
has sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the
Notes or Covered Bonds, including Notes or Covered Bonds where the currency for principal
or interest payments is different from the potential investor's currency;
(iv)
understands thoroughly the terms of the Notes or Covered Bonds and is familiar with the
behaviour of financial markets; and
(v)
is able to evaluate possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may
affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments. The investment activities of certain
investors are subject to investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain
authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what
extent (1) Notes and Covered Bonds are legal investments for it, (2) Notes and Covered Bonds can be
used as collateral for various types of borrowing and (3) other restrictions apply to its purchase or
pledge of any Notes and Covered Bonds. Financial institutions should consult their legal advisers or
the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of Notes and Covered Bonds under
any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.

The Notes and Covered Bonds have not been and will not be registered under the United States
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) and are subject to U.S. tax law requirements.
