In accessing the attached base prospectus (the "Base Prospectus") you agree to be bound by the following
terms and conditions.
The information contained in the Base Prospectus may be addressed to and/or targeted at persons who are
residents of particular countries only as specified in the Base Prospectus and is not intended for use, and
should not be relied upon, by any person outside those countries. Prior to relying on the information
contained in the Base Prospectus, you must ascertain from the Base Prospectus whether or not you
are an intended addressee of, and eligible to view, the information contained therein.
The Base Prospectus does not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States or any other jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration, exemption from registration or qualification
under the securities law of any such jurisdiction.
The securities described in the Base Prospectus have not been and will not be registered under the United

BASE PROSPECTUS DATED 5 MAY 2020
NORDEA BANK ABP
(a public limited liability company organised under the laws of Finland)
50,000,000,000
Euro Medium Term Note Programme
Nordea Bank Abp (the "Issuer") has established a 50,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme
(the "Programme"). This base prospectus supersedes any previous Base Prospectus, Information
Memorandum and Supplemental Information Memorandum in relation to the Programme. Any Notes (as
defined below) issued under the Programme on or after the date of this Base Prospectus are issued subject
to the provisions described herein. This does not affect any Notes already in issue.
The Issuer may from time to time issue Euro Medium Term Notes (the "Notes") on a subordinated or
unsubordinated basis, which expression shall include Bearer Notes and Registered Notes (each as defined
below), denominated in any currency as may be agreed with the relevant Dealer(s) (as defined below).
Notes issued pursuant to the Programme may include Notes issued by the Issuer designated as "Swiss Franc
Notes", "VP Notes", "VPS Notes" or "Swedish Notes" in the relevant Final Terms or Pricing Supplement
(each as defined below). The maximum amount of all Notes from time to time outstanding will not exceed
50,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies at the time of agreement to issue, subject as further
set out herein). For the purposes of calculating amounts outstanding under the Programme, all calculations
will be made in euro.
Notes issued under the Programme (other than Exempt Notes) will have a denomination of at least 100,000
or its equivalent in any other currency.
The Notes will be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the principal dealers or Swiss dealers
specified herein and any additional dealer appointed under the Programme from time to time, which
appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis (each a "Dealer" and together the
"Dealers").
Investing in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. The principal risk factors that
may affect the abilities of the Issuer to fulfil its obligations under the Notes are discussed under "Risk
Factors" below.

This Base Prospectus has been approved as a base prospectus by the Central Bank of Ireland (the "Central
Bank") as competent authority under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "Prospectus Regulation"). The
Central Bank only approves this Base Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness,
comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the Prospectus Regulation. Such an approval should not be
considered as an endorsement of the Issuer or the quality of the Notes that are the subject of this Base
Prospectus. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in the Notes. Such
approval relates only to Notes issued under the Programme within 12 months after the date hereof which
are admitted to trading on a regulated market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments
Directive (2014/65/EU), as amended or replaced from time to time ("MiFID II") and/or which are to be
offered to the public in any Member State of the European Economic Area (the "EEA") or the United
Kingdom ("UK") in circumstances that require the publication of a prospectus.
The requirement to publish a prospectus under the Prospectus Regulation only applies to Notes which are
to be admitted to trading on a regulated market for the purposes of MiFID II in the EEA or the UK and/or
offered to the public in the EEA or the UK other than in circumstances where an exemption is available
under Articles 1(4) and/or 3(2) of the Prospectus Regulation. References in this Base Prospectus to
"Exempt Notes" are to Notes for which no prospectus is required to be published under the Prospectus
Regulation. The Central Bank has neither approved nor reviewed information contained in this Base
Prospectus in connection with Exempt Notes.
Application will be made (i) to the Irish Stock Exchange plc, trading as Euronext Dublin ("Euronext
Dublin") for Notes issued under the Programme (other than Exempt Notes (as defined herein)) to be
admitted to the official list (the "Official List") and to trading on its regulated market (the "Regulated
Market"), (ii) to the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") and London Stock
Exchange plc (the "London Stock Exchange") for Notes issued under the Programme (other than Exempt
Notes) to be admitted to listing on the official list of the FCA and to trading on the regulated market of the
London Stock Exchange, (iii) to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF") and
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes issued under the Programme (other than Exempt Notes) to be
admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to be listed on the
official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, and (iv) to the Norwegian Supervisory Authority
(Finanstilsynet) (the "NFSA") for Notes issued under the Programme (other than Exempt Notes) to be
admitted to listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange's regulated market (the "Oslo Børs"), in each case during
the period of 12 months after the date hereof.
The Regulated Market and the regulated markets of the London Stock Exchange, the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange and the Oslo Børs are regulated markets for the purposes of MiFID II. Such approvals relate only
to the Notes which are to be admitted to trading on a regulated market for the purposes of MiFID II and/or
which are to be offered to the public in any Member State of the European Economic Area.
Application has been made to Euronext Dublin for the approval of this Base Prospectus as base listing
particulars (the "Base Listing Particulars"). Application has been made to Euronext Dublin for Exempt
Notes issued under the Programme during the 12 months from the date of this Base Listing Particulars to
be admitted to the Official List and to trading on the Global Exchange Market (the "GEM") which is the
exchange regulated market of Euronext Dublin. The GEM is not a regulated market for the purposes of
MiFID II.
This Base Prospectus constitutes a Base Listing Particulars for the purposes of all Exempt Notes (including,
without limitation, any Exempt Notes listed on the GEM) and, for such purposes, does not constitute a
"prospectus" for the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation. In the case of Exempt Notes, any reference in
this Base Prospectus to "Base Prospectus" shall be deemed to be a reference to "Base Listing Particulars"
unless the context requires otherwise.
The Programme also permits Notes to be issued on the basis that they will not be admitted to listing, trading
and/or quotation by any competent authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system or to be admitted to
listing, trading and/or quotation by such other or further competent authorities, stock exchanges and/or
quotation systems as may be agreed with the Issuer (including the SIX Swiss Exchange Ltd (the "SIX Swiss
Exchange"), in the case of Swiss Franc Notes).
Notice of the aggregate principal amount of, interest (if any) payable in respect of, the issue price of, and
any other terms and conditions not contained herein which are applicable to, each Tranche (as defined
below) of Notes will be set forth in a final terms (the "Final Terms") or, in the case of Exempt Notes, a

pricing supplement (the "Pricing Supplement"). In the case of Exempt Notes, any reference in this Base
Prospectus to "Final Terms" shall be deemed to be a reference to "Pricing Supplement" unless the context
requires otherwise.
This Base Prospectus is valid for 12 months from the date of this Base Prospectus. The obligation to
supplement this Base Prospectus in the event of significant new factors, material mistakes or material
inaccuracies will not apply when this Base Prospectus is no longer valid.

IMPORTANT NOTICES
This Base Prospectus, including the Annexes hereto, which form part of this Base Prospectus, should be
read and construed together with any amendments or supplements hereto and with any other information
incorporated by reference herein and, in relation to any Tranche of Notes, should be read and construed
together with the relevant Final Terms.
Copies of each Final Terms in respect of a Tranche of Notes listed on any stock exchange and issued
pursuant to this Base Prospectus will be available from the specified offices of each of the Paying Agents
and (in the case of Notes which may be in registered form) from the specified office of the Registrar and
each of the Transfer Agents (see "Terms and Conditions of the Notes" herein). In the case of a Tranche of
Notes which is not admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation on any listing authority, stock exchange
and/or quotation system or which is not offered in the European Economic Area in circumstances where a
prospectus is required to be published under the Prospectus Regulation (including Exempt Notes), copies
of the Final Terms will only be available for inspection during normal business hours at the specified office
of the Fiscal Agent in London and the registered office of the Issuer by the holders of such Notes
("Holders").
The Issuer may agree with any Dealer(s) that Notes may be issued in a form not contemplated by the "Terms
and Conditions of the Notes" herein, in which case a supplementary prospectus, if appropriate, will be made
available which will describe the effect of the agreement reached in relation to such Notes. In the case of
Exempt Notes, the relevant provisions relating to such Notes will be included in the relevant Pricing
Supplement.
The Issuer has confirmed to the Dealers named under "Subscription and Sale" below that this Base
Prospectus (including, for this purpose, each relevant Final Terms) contains all information which is (in the
context of the Programme and the issue, offering and sale of the Notes) material; that such information is
true and accurate in all material respects and is not misleading in any material respect; that any opinions,
predictions or intentions expressed herein are honestly held or made and are not misleading in any material
respect; that this Base Prospectus does not omit to state any material fact necessary to make such
information, opinions, predictions or intentions (in the context of the Programme and the issue, offering
and sale of the Notes) not misleading in any material respect; and that all proper enquiries have been made
to verify the foregoing.
The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Base Prospectus and the Final Terms
for each Tranche of Notes and declares that, to the best of its knowledge, the information contained in this
Base Prospectus is in accordance with the facts and this Base Prospectus makes no omission likely to affect
its import.
No person has been authorised to give any information or to make any representation not contained in or
not consistent with this Base Prospectus or any other document entered into in relation to the Programme
or any information supplied by the Issuer or such other information as is in the public domain and, if given
or made, such information or representation should not be relied upon as having been authorised by the
Issuer or any Dealer.
Neither the Dealers nor the Arranger have 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 or the Arranger as to the accuracy or completeness of the financial information
contained in this Base Prospectus, or any other financial statements or any further information supplied in
connection with the Notes. The Dealers and the Arranger accept no liability in relation to the financial
information contained in this Base Prospectus or any other financial statements or their distribution or with
regard to any other information supplied in connection with the Notes. The statements made in this
paragraph are without prejudice to the responsibility of Nordea Bank Abp in its capacity as Issuer under
the Programme.
Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus nor any Final Terms nor the offering, sale or delivery of any
Note shall, in any circumstances, create any implication that the information contained in this Base
Prospectus is true subsequent to the date hereof or the date upon which this Base Prospectus has been most
recently amended or supplemented or that there has been no adverse change, or any event reasonably likely
to involve any adverse change, in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Issuer since the date thereof
or, if later, the date upon which this Base Prospectus has been most recently amended or supplemented or
87441-3-22993-v14.3
- v -

that any other information supplied in connection with the Programme is correct at any time subsequent to
the date on which it is supplied or, if different, the date indicated in the document containing the same.
The distribution of this Base Prospectus and any Final Terms and the offering, sale and delivery of the
Notes in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Base Prospectus
comes are required by the Issuer and the Dealers to inform themselves about and to observe any such
restrictions. For a description of certain restrictions on offers, sales and deliveries of Notes and on
distribution of this Base Prospectus or any Final Terms and other offering material relating to the Notes see
"Subscription and Sale".
THE NOTES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE UNITED STATES
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION
IN THE UNITED STATES NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR
ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR THE
ADEQUACY OF THIS BASE PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY
IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE IN THE UNITED STATES.
THE NOTES HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED
STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR WITH
ANY SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION
OF THE UNITED STATES AND MAY INCLUDE NOTES IN BEARER FORM THAT ARE
SUBJECT TO U.S. TAX LAW REQUIREMENTS. SUBJECT TO CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS, THE
NOTES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR, IN THE CASE OF BEARER NOTES, DELIVERED
WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, U.S.
PERSONS. SEE "SUBSCRIPTION AND SALE".
The Issuer is not a bank nor an authorised deposit-taking institution which is authorised under the Banking
Act 1959 (Cth) of Australia (the Australian Banking Act) nor is it authorised to carry on banking business
under the Australian Banking Act. The Notes are not obligations of any government and, in particular, are
not guaranteed by the Commonwealth of Australia. The Issuer is not supervised by the Australian
Prudential Regulation Authority. Notes that are offered for issue or sale or transferred in, or into, Australia
are offered only in circumstances that would not require disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 or Part 7.9
of the Corporations Act 2001 of Australia (the "Corporations Act") and will be issued and transferred in
compliance with the terms of the exemption from compliance with section 66 of the Australian Banking
Act that is available to the Issuer. Such Notes will be issued or transferred in, or into, Australia in parcels
of not less than A$500,000 in aggregate principal amount. An investment in any Notes issued by the Issuer
will not be covered by the depositor protection provisions in section 13A of the Australian Banking Act
and will not entitle Holders to claim under the financial claims scheme under Division 2AA of the
Australian Banking Act.
MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET  The Final Terms in respect of any
Notes will include a legend entitled "MiFID II 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 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 Delegated Directive 2017/593, as amended or replaced from time to time (the
"MiFID 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 MiFID Product Governance Rules.
Each potential investor in the Notes must determine the suitability of that investment in light of such
investor's own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should:
(i)
have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the relevant Notes,
the merits and risks of investing in the relevant Notes and the information contained or incorporated
by reference in this Base Prospectus or any applicable supplement to this Base Prospectus;
87441-3-22993-v14.3
- vi -
70-40744199

(ii)
have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation, an investment in the relevant Notes and the impact such investment
will have on its overall investment portfolio;
(iii)
have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Notes,
including Notes with principal or interest payable in one or more currencies, or where the currency
for principal or interest payments is different from the currency in which such potential investor's
financial activities are principally denominated;
(iv)
understand thoroughly the terms of the relevant Notes and the behaviour of any relevant indices
and financial markets; and
(v)
be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for
economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the
applicable risks.
Some Notes are complex financial instruments and such instruments may be purchased as a way to reduce
risk or enhance yield with an understood, measured, appropriate addition of risk to the investor's overall
portfolio. A potential investor should not invest in Notes which are complex financial instruments unless it
has the expertise (either alone or with the assistance of a financial adviser) to evaluate how the Notes will
perform under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of such Notes and the impact this
investment will have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio.
An investment in the Notes may give rise to higher yields than a bank deposit placed with Nordea or with
any other investment firm in the Nordea Group (a "Nordea Bank Deposit"). However, an investment in
the Notes carries risks which are very different from the risk profile of a Nordea Bank Deposit. The Notes
are expected to have greater liquidity than a Nordea Bank Deposit since Nordea Bank Deposits are generally
not transferable. However, the Notes may have no established trading market when issued, and one may
never develop. See "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to the Notes--The Notes may not be freely transferred"
and "--There may be no active trading market for the Notes". Investments in the Notes do not benefit from
any protection provided pursuant to Directive 2014/49/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council
on deposit guarantee schemes, as amended or any national measures implementing this Directive in any
jurisdiction. Payments on the Subordinated Notes are subordinated obligations of the Issuer. Therefore, if
the Issuer becomes insolvent or defaults on its obligations, investors investing in such Notes in a worst-
case scenario could lose their entire investment. Further, as a result of the implementation of BRRD (as
defined herein), holders of the Notes may be subject to write-down or conversion into equity on any
application of the general bail-in tool and non-viability loss absorption, which may result in such holders
losing some or all of their investment. See "Risk Factors--Legal and Regulatory Risks Relating to the
Notes--Regulatory action in the event of a failure of the Issuer could materially adversely affect the value
of the Notes, including in a manner which may result in holders of the Notes losing all or a part of the value
of their investment in the Notes or receiving a different security than the Notes" and "Risk Factors--Risks
Relating to the Notes--The Issuer may be subject to statutory resolution".
IMPORTANT EEA AND UK RETAIL INVESTORS - If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes
includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA and UK Retail Investors", the Notes 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 EEA or in the UK. 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 (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a
professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) in relation to any Exempt
Notes with a minimum denomination below 100,000 or its equivalent in any other currency, not a qualified
investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key information document required by
Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes
or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or in the UK would be prepared and
therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA
or in the UK may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
Neither this Base Prospectus nor any Final Terms constitutes an offer or an invitation to subscribe for or
purchase any Notes and should not be considered as a recommendation by the Issuer, the Dealers or any of
them that any recipient of this Base Prospectus or any Final Terms should subscribe for or purchase any
87441-3-22993-v14.3
- vii -
70-40744199

Notes. Each recipient of this Base Prospectus or any Final Terms shall be taken to have made its own
investigation and appraisal of the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Issuer.
This Base Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that, except to the extent sub-paragraph (ii) below may
apply, any offer of Notes in any Member State of the "European Economic Area" or in the United
Kingdom (each, a "Relevant State") will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus
Regulation, from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of Notes. Accordingly any person
making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant State of Notes which are the subject of an
offering/placement contemplated in this Base Prospectus as completed by final terms in relation to the offer
of those Notes may only do so (i) in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or any Dealer
to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation or supplement a prospectus
pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation, in each case, in relation to such offer, or (ii) if a
prospectus for such offer has been approved by the competent authority in that Relevant State or, where
appropriate, approved in another Relevant State and notified to the competent authority in that Relevant
State and (in either case) published, all in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation, provided that any
such prospectus has subsequently been completed by final terms which specify that offers may be made
other than pursuant to Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Regulation in that Relevant State and such offer is
made in the period beginning and ending on the dates specified for such purpose in such prospectus or final
terms, as applicable. Except to the extent sub-paragraph (ii) above may apply, neither the Issuer nor any
Dealer have authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of Notes in circumstances in which
an obligation arises for the Issuer or any Dealer to publish or supplement a prospectus for such offer.
BENCHMARKS REGULATION - Interest and/or other amounts payable under the Notes may be
calculated by reference to certain reference rates. Any such reference rate may constitute a benchmark for
the purposes of Regulation (EU) No. 2016/1011 (the "Benchmarks Regulation"). If any such reference
rate does constitute such a benchmark, the relevant Final Terms will indicate whether or not the benchmark
is provided by an administrator included in the register of administrators and benchmarks established and
maintained by the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") pursuant to Article 36 (Register
of administrators and benchmarks) of the Benchmarks Regulation. Transitional provisions in the
Benchmarks Regulation may have the result that the administrator of a particular benchmark is not required
to appear in the register of administrators and benchmarks at the date of the relevant Final Terms. The
registration status of any administrator under the Benchmarks Regulation is a matter of public record and,
save where required by applicable law, the Issuer does not intend to update the relevant Final Terms to
reflect any change in the registration status of the administrator.
PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 309B OF THE SECURITIES AND
FUTURES ACT (CHAPTER 289) OF SINGAPORE - The relevant Final Terms in respect of any Notes
may include a legend entitled "Singapore Securities and Futures Act Product Classification" which will
state the product classification of the Notes pursuant to section 309B(1) of the Securities and Futures Act
(Chapter 289) of Singapore as modified or amended from time to time, the "SFA". The Issuer will make a
determination in relation to each issue about the classification of the Notes being offered for purposes of
section 309B(1)(a). Any such legend included on the relevant Final Terms will constitute notice to "relevant
persons" for purposes of section 309B(1)(c) of the SFA.
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes under the Programme, the Dealer or Dealers (if
any) named as the Stabilising Manager(s) (or any persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising
Manager(s)) in the relevant Final Terms may over allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to
supporting the market price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail.
However, stabilisation may not necessarily occur. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the
date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche of Notes is
made and, if begun, may cease 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 must be conducted by the
Stabilising Manager(s) (or person(s) acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) in accordance
with all applicable laws and rules.

Moody's Investors Service Limited ("Moody's") and Fitch Ratings Limited ("Fitch") are established in the

and Fitch are registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009, as amended (the "CRA Regulation") and
are, as of the date of this Base Prospectus, included in the list of credit rating agencies published by ESMA
on its website (http://www.esma.europa.eu/page/list-registered-and-certified-CRAs) in accordance with the
CRA Regulation.
Tranches of Notes to be issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated. Where a Tranche of Notes
is rated, the applicable rating(s) will be specified in the relevant Final Terms. Such rating will not
necessarily be the same as the rating(s) assigned to the Issuer or to Notes already issued. Whether or not
each credit rating applied for in relation to a relevant Tranche of Notes will be issued by a credit rating
agency established in the EEA or the UK and registered under the CRA Regulation will be disclosed in the
relevant Final Terms.
ESMA is obliged to maintain on its website, at http://www.esma.europa.eu/page/list-registered-and-
certified-CRAs, a list of credit rating agencies registered and certified in accordance with the CRA
Regulation. This list must be updated within five working days of ESMA's adoption of any decision to
withdraw the registration of a credit rating agency under the CRA Regulation. Therefore, such list is not
conclusive evidence of the status of the relevant rating agency as there may be delays between certain
supervisory measures being taken against a relevant rating agency and the publication of the updated ESMA
list.
In general, European regulated investors are restricted from using a rating for regulatory purposes if such
rating is not issued by a credit rating agency established in the EEA or the UK and registered under the
CRA Regulation (and such registration has not been withdrawn or suspended) unless (1) the rating is
provided by a credit rating agency not established in the EEA or the UK but is endorsed by a credit rating
agency established in the EEA or the UK and registered under the CRA Regulation (and such endorsement
action has not been withdrawn or suspended) or (2) the rating is provided by a credit rating agency not
established in the EEA or the UK, but which is certified under the CRA Regulation (and such certification
has not been withdrawn or suspended).
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.
Furthermore, credit ratings are subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal at any time, and a
change in the credit ratings of the Notes, or a new unsolicited credit rating assigned to the Notes,
could affect the market value and reduce the liquidity of the Notes.
There can be no assurance that a rating assigned to a series of Notes will remain for any given period of
time or that a rating will not be lowered or withdrawn by the relevant rating agency if, in its judgment,
circumstances in the future so warrant. In the event that a rating assigned to the Notes is subsequently
lowered for any reason, no person or entity is obliged to provide any additional support or credit
enhancement with respect to the Notes, and the market value and liquidity of the Notes may be adversely
affected. Notes that are subject to a ratings downgrade may also be more susceptible to price volatility than
they were prior to the downgrade or compared to higher-rated securities. In addition, the Issuer's credit
ratings do not always mirror the risk related to individual Notes issued under the Programme. Real or
anticipated changes in the Issuer's credit ratings generally will also affect the market value of the Notes.

Rating agencies also regularly reassess the methodologies they employ to measure the creditworthiness of
companies and securities. Any updates to these methodologies could affect the credit ratings assigned by
the agencies.
To the extent permitted by a rating agency hired by the Issuer, the Issuer may decline a rating (which may
include a non-investment grade rating) assigned by the hired rating agency to a Tranche of Notes, which
would typically delay the publication of that rating by such rating agency for a period of 12 months. In
addition to ratings assigned by any hired rating agencies, rating agencies not hired by the Issuer to rate a
Tranche of Notes may assign unsolicited ratings. If any non-hired rating agency assigns an unsolicited
rating to any Notes, there can be no assurance that such rating will not differ from, or be lower than, the
ratings provided by a hired rating agency. The decision to decline a rating assigned by a hired rating agency,
the delayed publication of such rating or the assignment of a non-solicited rating by a rating agency not
hired by the Issuer could adversely affect the market value and liquidity of the Notes.
GREEN NOTES
The Final Terms relating to any specific Tranche of Notes may provide that it will be the Issuer's intention
to apply the proceeds from an offer of those Notes whether directly or indirectly, for projects and activities
that satisfy certain eligibility requirements that purports to promote climate-friendly and other
environmental purposes ("Green Assets"). Prospective investors should have regard to the information in
the relevant Final Terms regarding such use of proceeds and must determine for themselves the relevance
of such information for the purpose of any investment in such Notes together with any other investigation
such investor deems necessary. In particular no assurance is given by the Issuer that the use of such proceeds
for any Green Assets will satisfy, whether in whole or in part, any present or future investor expectations
or requirements as regards any investment criteria or guidelines with which such investor or its investments
are required to comply, whether by any present or future applicable law or regulations or by its own by-
laws or other governing rules or investment portfolio mandates, in particular with regard to any direct or
indirect environmental, sustainability or social impact of any projects or uses, the subject of or related to,
the relevant Green Assets. Furthermore, it should be noted that there is currently no clear definition (legal,
regulatory or otherwise) of, nor market consensus as to what constitutes, a "green" or "sustainable" or an
equivalently-labeled project or as to what precise attributes are required for a particular project to be defined
as "green" or "sustainable" or such other equivalent label nor can any assurance be given that such a clear
definition or consensus will develop over time or that any prevailing market consensus will not significantly
change following an investment decision. Accordingly, no assurance is or can be given to investors that
any projects or uses the subject of, or related to, any Green Assets will meet or continue to meet on an
ongoing basis any or all investor expectations regarding such "green", "sustainable" or other equivalently-
labeled objectives or that any adverse environmental, social and/or other impacts will not occur during the
implementation of any projects or uses the subject of, or related to, any Green Assets.
No assurance or representation is given as to the suitability or reliability for any purpose whatsoever of any
opinion or certification of any third party (whether or not solicited by the Issuer) which may be made
available in connection with the issue of any Notes and in particular with any Green Assets to fulfill any
environmental, sustainability, social and/or other criteria. For the avoidance of doubt, any such opinion or
certification is not, nor shall be deemed to be, incorporated in and/or form part of this Base Prospectus. Any
such opinion or certification is not, nor should be deemed to be, a recommendation by the Issuer or any
other person to buy, sell or hold any such Notes. Any such opinion or certification is only current as of the
date that opinion or certification was initially issued and the criteria and/or considerations that underlie such
opinion or certification provider may change at any time. Prospective investors must determine for
themselves the relevance of any such opinion or certification and/or the information contained therein
and/or the provider of such opinion or certification for the purpose of any investment in such Notes.
Currently, the providers of such opinions and certifications are not subject to any specific regulatory or
other regime or oversight.
In the event that any such Notes are listed or admitted to trading on any dedicated "green", "environmental",
"sustainable" or other equivalently-labeled segment of any stock exchange or securities market (whether or
not regulated), no representation or assurance is given by the Issuer or any other person that such listing or
admission satisfies, whether in whole or in part, any present or future investor expectations or requirements
as regards any investment criteria or guidelines with which such investor or its investments are required to
comply, whether by any present or future applicable law or regulations or by its own by-laws or other
governing rules or investment portfolio mandates, in particular with regard to any direct or indirect
environmental, sustainability or social impact of any projects or uses, the subject of or related to, any Green
