the public or admitted to trading, as amended by directive 2010/73/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of

In many countries it is unlawful to offer securities for sale without complying with such jurisdiction's applicable laws and
regulations. Accordingly, this Offering Circular may not be used for the purpose of, and does not constitute, an offer to sell or

transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Bonds are being offered and sold only outside
the United States to persons other than "U.S. persons" in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. As used herein, the

higher than that which might otherwise prevail. There is, however, no assurance that the stabilising
manager(s) (or any person acting on behalf of any stabilising manager(s)) will undertake stabilisation action.
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 the Bonds is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no
later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant tranche of the Bonds and 60 days after the

country or jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly each relevant dealer will be
required to undertake that it will not, directly or indirectly, offer or sell any of the Bonds or distribute or

Registration and Listing:
The Bonds will be issued in the form of dematerialised bonds
registered in and held with Verdipapirsentralen ASA ("VPS").
VPS is the Norwegian paperless centralised securities registry. It
is a computerised book-entry system in which the ownership of,
and all transactions relating to, registered securities must be
recorded. All transactions relating to securities registered with
VPS are made through computerised book entries. VPS confirms

4

each entry by sending a transcript to the registered holder
irrespective of any beneficial ownership. To effect such entries,
the individual holder of securities must establish a securities
account with an account agent. It is possible to register a holding
of securities through a nominee approved by the Financial
Supervisory Authority of Norway. Norwegian banks, the Bank of
Norway, authorised securities brokers in Norway and credit
institutions and authorised securities brokers with their head office
in another EEA state and which are subject to supervision in their
home state are allowed to act as account agents. The entry of a
transaction in VPS is prima facie evidence in determining the
legal rights of parties as against the issuing entity or a third party
claiming an interest in the given security. Application has been
made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the Bonds to be
admitted to the Official List and to be admitted to trading on the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market.
Payment and Settlement:
Settlement of purchase and sale transactions takes place on a
registration against payment basis. The Bonds will be created and
held in uncertificated book-entry form in accounts with VPS and
title to the Bonds will be evidenced by book-entry interests in
accordance with the provisions of applicable legislation and
regulations for the VPS as subsequently amended and
supplemented and no physical document of title will be issued in
respect of the Bonds. The first issue of the Bonds will be settled
for value on 29 September 2015.
Payment of interest and principal to the holder of the Bonds will
be made through the Fiscal Agent by credit to the money accounts
designated to VPS by each holder's account agent or in
Luxembourg through the ICSDs (as defined below).
The Bonds will also be eligible to be held in nominee accounts
held through international central securities depositories
("ICSDs"). ICSDs mean Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. and
Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, Luxembourg.

Events of Default".

RISK FACTORS
This section does not describe all the risks of an investment in the Bonds. Prospective purchasers should
consult their own professional advisers about the risks associated with investment in the Bonds and the
suitability of investing in the Bonds in the light of their particular circumstances.
General risk factors
Secondary market prices of bonds are affected by many factors, including prevailing interest rates and
expectations thereof. Bonds - especially long-dated bonds - may therefore trade periodically at prices below
their issue prices, implying a loss for the bondholders who dispose of bonds prior to their stated maturity. In
addition, the bondholders may find it difficult to sell bonds prior to their stated maturity at a price that reflects
the bondholder's opinion of the "fair value" of the bonds. They may find that no dealer, or only the dealer
from whom they originally bought the bonds, is prepared to quote a price to buy the bonds in the secondary
market. This is likely to be the case to a greater extent for bonds with a relatively small aggregate outstanding
amount.
Historical values should not be taken as an indication of future values.
The investors also have a credit risk on the EIB. As of the Issue Date, the EIB has a long term rating
Aaa/AAA/AAA for Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's Rating Services and Fitch Ratings
respectively.
Investors should take note that the risks associated with the investment can change substantially throughout
the term of the Bonds.

Title to the Bonds will be established or transferred by way of
registration with VPS. The provisions of chapter 7 of the Norwegian

Taxation:
Payments will be subject in all cases to any fiscal or other laws and
regulations applicable thereto. Consequently, neither the EIB nor any

events specified in this paragraph shall be made to the holders of the

Currency Unavailability:
In case a payment is due to be made in respect of any Bond and payment
in NOK cannot be made due to any circumstance beyond the EIB's
control (including, inter alia, the unavailability of NOK on the
international foreign exchange market, the imposition of exchange
controls, NOK's replacement or disuse or the suspension of its settlement
by any clearing system relevant for payment in respect of any Bond). In
such circumstances the EIB will be entitled, but not obliged, to satisfy its
obligations to the holder of such Bond by making payment in euro or
U.S. dollars (at the option of the EIB) on the basis of the spot exchange
rate at which NOK can be sold in exchange for euro or U.S. dollars, as
the case may be, on the international foreign exchange market at noon,
Luxembourg time, two Business Days prior to the date on which
payment is due or, if such spot exchange rate is not available on that
date, on the basis of an exchange rate (which may be equal to zero)
determined by the Calculation Agent in its absolute discretion. Exercise
by the EIB of its rights in accordance with this paragraph will not
