Euro Medium Term Note Programme

Applications have been made for notes ("Notes") issued under the Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "Programme")
described in this Simplified Base Prospectus to be admitted during the period of twelve months after the date hereof to listing
on the official list and to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. 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.
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
not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not
subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
The Notes will be offered, sold and delivered (a) outside the United States in an offshore transaction (within the meaning of
Regulation S under the Securities Act ("Regulation S")) in reliance on Regulation S, and (b) within the United States to
qualified institutional buyers only ("QlBs") (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A")) in reliance on
the exemption provided by Rule 144A. Prospective investors are hereby notified that sellers of the Notes may be relying on
the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.
The Notes of each Tranche will be in dematerialised book-entry (forma escritural) and registered (nominativas) form (the
"Interbolsa Notes"), in bearer form ("Bearer Notes") (forma titulada, ao portador) or in registered form ("Registered
Notes") (forma titulada, nominativas). Interbolsa Notes will be integrated in and held through Interbolsa Sociedade Gestora
de Sistemas de Liquidação e de Sistemas Centralizados de Valores Mobiliários S.A. ("Interbolsa"). Bearer Notes will
(unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms) initially be represented by a temporary global note which will be
exchangeable either for interests in a permanent global note or for definitive notes, as indicated in the applicable Final Terms.
Registered Notes will (unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms) be represented by one or more unrestricted
global note certificates, in the case of Registered Notes sold outside the United States in an offshore transaction in reliance on
Regulation S, and/or one or more restricted global note certificates in the case of Registered Notes sold to QIBs in reliance on
Rule 144A, in each case as specified in the applicable Final Terms and all as further described in "Forms of the Notes and

will be deposited on or about the issue date with the common
depositary.

Each Note represented by a Restricted Global Note Certificate will be

is specified in the applicable Final Terms) as nominee for DTC and the
relevant Restricted Global Note Certificate will be deposited on or
about the issue date with the DTC Custodian or (ii) registered in the
name of a common depositary (or its nominee) for Euroclear and/or
Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any other relevant clearing system
and the relevant Restricted Global Note Certificate will be deposited on
or about the issue date with the common depositary.

Interbolsa Notes

Interbolsa Notes will be issued in dematerialised book-entry (forma

Notes will be issued on an unsubordinated basis.
Issue Price:
Notes may be issued at any price and either on a fully or partly paid
basis, as specified in the relevant Final Terms. The price and amount of
Notes to be issued under the Programme will be determined by the
Issuer, and the relevant Dealer(s) at the time of issue in accordance with
prevailing market conditions.
Maturities:
Any maturity subject, in relation to specific currencies, to compliance
with all applicable legal and/or regulatory and/or central bank
requirements.

Where Notes have a maturity of less than one year and either (a) the
issue proceeds are received by the Issuer in the United Kingdom or
(b) the activity of issuing the Notes is carried on from an establishment
maintained by the Issuer in the United Kingdom, such Notes must:
(i) have a minimum redemption value of £100,000 (or its equivalent in
other currencies) and be issued only to persons whose ordinary
activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of
investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses
or who it is reasonable to expect will acquire, hold, manage or dispose
of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their
businesses; or (ii) be issued in other circumstances which do not
constitute a contravention of section 19 of the FSMA by the Issuer.
Redemption:
Notes may be redeemable at par or at such other Redemption Amount
(detailed in a formula, index or otherwise) as may be specified in the
relevant Final Terms. Notes may also be redeemable in two or more
instalments on such dates and in such manner as may be specified in the
relevant Final Terms.

Notes may be redeemed before their stated maturity at the Option of the
Issuer (either in whole or in part) and/or the Noteholders to the extent
(if at all) specified in the relevant Final Terms.

Denominations:
Notes will be issued in such denominations as may be specified in the
relevant Final Terms, subject to compliance with all applicable legal
and/or regulatory and/or central bank requirements.
Negative Pledge:
The Notes will have the benefit of a negative pledge as described in
Condition 6 (Negative Pledge).
Taxation:
All payments in respect of Notes will be made free and clear of
withholding taxes of the Republic of Portugal as the case may be,
unless the withholding is required by law. In that event, the Issuer will
(subject as provided in Condition 13 (Taxation)) pay such additional
amounts as will result in the Noteholders receiving such amounts as
- 5-

they would have received in respect of such Notes had no such
withholding been required.
Governing Law:
The Notes and all non-contractual obligations arising out of or in
connection with the Notes (other than Interbolsa Notes) are governed by
English law. The Interbolsa Notes and all non-contractual obligations
arising out of or in connection with the Interbolsa Notes are governed
by Portuguese law.

RISKS RELATED TO RENMINBI-DENOMINATED NOTES
Notes denominated in Renminbi ("Renminbi Notes") may be issued under the Programme. Renminbi
Notes contain particular risks for potential investors. Prospective investors in Renminbi Notes should
consider, among other things, the following risk factors relating to Renminbi Notes
Renminbi is not freely convertible and there are significant restrictions on the remittance of Renminbi
into and out of the PRC which may adversely affect the liquidity of Renminbi Notes.
Renminbi is not freely convertible at present. The government of the PRC (the "PRC Government")
continues to regulate conversion between Renminbi and foreign currencies, including the Hong Kong
dollar.
However, there has been significant reduction in control by the PRC Government in recent years,
particularly over trade transactions involving import and export of goods and services as well as other
frequent routine foreign exchange transactions. These transactions are known as current account items.
On the other hand, remittance of Renminbi into and out of the PRC for the settlement of capital account
items, such as capital contributions, debt financing and securities investment, is generally only permitted
upon obtaining specific approvals from, or completing specific registrations or filings with, the relevant
authorities on a case-by-case basis and is subject to a strict monitoring system. Regulations in the PRC on
the remittance of Renminbi into and out of the PRC for settlement of capital account items are being
developed.
Although from 1 October 2016, the Renminbi has been added to the Special Drawing Rights basket
created by the International Monetary Fund, there is no assurance that the PRC Government will continue
to gradually liberalise control over cross-border remittance of Renminbi in the future, that the schemes for
Renminbi cross-border utilisation will not be discontinued or that new regulations in the PRC will not be
promulgated in the future which have the effect of restricting or eliminating the remittance of Renminbi
into or out of the PRC. Despite Renminbi internationalisation pilot programme and efforts in recent years
to internationalise the currency, there can be no assurance that the PRC Government will not impose
interim or long-term restrictions on the cross-border remittance of Renminbi. In the event that funds
cannot be repatriated out of the PRC in Renminbi, this may affect the overall availability of Renminbi
outside the PRC and the ability of the Issuer to source Renminbi to finance its obligations under Notes
denominated in Renminbi.
There is only limited availability of Renminbi outside the PRC, which may affect the liquidity of the
Renminbi Notes and the Issuer's ability to source Renminbi outside the PRC to service Renminbi
Notes.
As a result of the restrictions by the PRC Government on cross border Renminbi fund flows, the
availability of Renminbi outside the PRC is limited.
While the People's Bank of China ("PBoC") has entered into agreements (the "Settlement
Arrangements") on the clearing of Renminbi business with financial institutions (the "Renminbi
Clearing Banks") in a number of financial centres and cities , including but not limited to Hong Kong,
has established the Cross-Border Inter-Bank Payments System (CIPS) to facilitate cross-border Renminbi
settlement and is further in the process of establishing Renminbi clearing and settlement mechanisms in
several other jurisdictions, the current size of Renminbi denominated financial assets outside the PRC is
limited.
There are restrictions imposed by PBoC on Renminbi business participating banks in respect of cross-
border Renminbi settlement, such as those relating to direct transactions with PRC enterprises.
Furthermore, Renminbi business participating banks do not have direct Renminbi liquidity support from
PBoC, although PBoC has gradually allowed participating banks to access the PRC's onshore inter-bank
market for the purchase and sale of Renminbi. The Renminbi Clearing Banks only have limited access to
onshore liquidity support from PBoC for the purpose of squaring open positions of participating banks for
limited types of transactions and are not obliged to square for participating banks any open positions
resulting from other foreign exchange transactions or conversion services. In cases where the
participating banks cannot source sufficient Renminbi through the above channels, they will need to
source Renminbi from outside the PRC to square such open positions.
