Covered Bond Guarantee shall be limited recourse to the Portfolio and the Available Funds (as defined in the section headed " Terms and Conditions

This Base Prospectus has been approved by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the CSSF), which is the competent authority
under Regulation EU 2017/1129, as amended (the Prospectus Regulation) in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, as a base prospectus for the
purpose of article 8 of the Prospectus Regulation.
The CSSF only approves this Base Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the
Prospectus Regulation. Approval by the CSSF should not be considered as an endorsement of the Issuer or the Guarantor or the quality of the
Covered Bonds that are subject to this Base Prospectus. Potential investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in
Covered Bonds.

Application has also been made for Covered Bonds issued under the Programme during the period of 12 (twelve) months from the date of this Base
Prospectus to be listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange, which is a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU. As referred to in Article 6(4) of the Luxembourg law on
prospectuses for securities of 16 July 2019, by approving this Base Prospectus, in accordance with Article 20 of the Prospect us Regulation, the
CSSF does not engage in respect of the economic or financial opportunity of the operation or the quality and solvency of the Issuer.
This Base Prospectus is valid for 12 months from its date in relation to Covered Bonds (until 22 December 2022) which are to be admitted
to trading on a regulated market in the European Economic Area (the EEA). The obligation to supplement this Base Prospectus in the
event of a significant new factor, material mistake or material inaccuracy does not apply when this Base Prospectus is no lon ger valid.
Capitalised terms used in this Base Prospectus shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the section headed " Glossary", unless otherwise defined
in the specific section of this Base Prospectus in which they are used.
Under the Programme, the Issuer may issue Covered Bonds denominated in any currencies, including Euro, UK Sterling, Swiss Franc, Japanese

Where Covered Bonds (other than Registered Covered Bonds) issued under the Programme are admitted to trading on a regulated m arket within the
European Economic Area or offered to the public in a Member State of the European Economic Area in circumstances which require the publication
of a prospectus under the Prospectus Regulation, such Covered Bonds will have a denomination of not less than 100,000 (or, where the Covered
Bonds are issued in a currency other than euro, the equivalent amount in such other currency). The terms and conditions of th e Registered Covered
Bonds (the Registered Covered Bond Conditions), which will difer from the terms and conditions set out in the section headed " Terms and
Conditions of the Covered Bonds", will specify the minimum denomination for Registered Covered Bonds, which might not be listed.

IMPORTANT EEA RETAIL INVESTORS - If the Final Terms in respect of any Covered Bonds
include a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the 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
Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended (MiFID II); or (i ) a customer within the meaning of Directive (UE)
2016/97, as amended (IDD), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in
point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation
(EU) No 1286/2014, as amended (the PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or sel ing the Covered Bonds or
otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or
sel ing the Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be
unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
IMPORTANT UK RETAIL INVESTORS  If the Final Terms in respect of any Covered Bonds
includes a legend entitled Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors, the Covered Bonds are not intended
to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made

(or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it
forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018; or (i ) a customer
6

within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act, 2000 (the FSMA) and any
rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer
would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No
600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of
domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the UK PRIIPs Regulation) for
offering or sel ing the Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has
been prepared and therefore offering or sel ing the Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to
any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
MIFID II product governance / target market The Final Terms in respect of any Covered Bonds w ill
include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which wil outline the target market assessment
in respect of the Covered Bonds and which channels for distribution of the Covered Bonds are appropriate.
Any person subsequently offering, sel ing or recommending the 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 Covered Bonds (by either
adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.A
determination wil be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID Product
Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the MiFID Product Governance Rule s ), any
Dealer subscribing for any Covered Bonds is a manufacturer in respect of such Covered Bonds, but
otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates wil be a manufac turer
for the purpose of the MIFID Product Governance Rules.
UK MiFIR product governance / target market - The Final Terms in respect of any Covered Bonds w ill
include a legend entitled UK MiFIR Product Governance which wil outline the target market assessment in
respect of the Covered Bonds and which channels for distribution of the Covered Bonds are appropriate.
Any person subsequently offering, sel ing or recommending the Covered Bonds (a "distributor") should
take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the UK MiFIR
product governance rules set out in the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance
Sourcebook (the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules) is responsible for undertaking its own target
market assessment in respect of the Covered Bonds (by either adopting or refining the target market
assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
A determination wil be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the UK MiFIR
product governance rules set out in UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules, any Dealer subscribing for any
Covered Bonds is a manufacturer in respect of such Covered Bonds, but otherwise neither the Arrangers
nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates wil be a manufacturer for the purpose of the UK
MIFIR Product Governance Rules.
