Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A. (Rabobank Structured Products)
(a coöperatie with limited liability established under the laws of the Netherlands
with its statutory seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands)
EUR 15,000,000,000
Structured Medium-Term Note Programme
Due from seven days to perpetuity
Under the EUR 15,000,000,000 Structured Medium-Term Note Programme (the "Programme"), described in this base prospectus (the "Base Prospectus") Coöperatieve Centrale
Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A. (the "Issuer", "Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A. (Rabobank Structured Products)" or "Rabobank Structured Products") may,
subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and directives, from time to time issue medium-term notes (the "Notes").
The aggregate nominal amount of Notes outstanding will not at any time exceed EUR 15,000,000,000 (or the equivalent in any other currencies). The Programme is, and Notes issued under it
may be, denominated in euro, which means the lawful currency of the member states of the European Union ("Member States") that have adopted the single currency in accordance with the
Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, as amended, or any other currency agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s).
Application has been made to the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (Autoriteit Financiële Markten or the "AFM") in its capacity as competent authority under Dutch securities laws
to approve this Base Prospectus in connection with the issue by the Issuer of Notes which are:
(a)
offered to the public in the European Economic Area in circumstances which require the publication of a prospectus under Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended (the "Prospectus
Directive"), whether or not such Notes are listed and admitted to trading on any market; or
(b)
either: (i) admitted to trading on Euronext Amsterdam N.V.'s Euronext in Amsterdam ("Euronext Amsterdam"); (ii) admitted to the official list of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange (the "Official List") and admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the "Luxembourg Stock Exchange Regulated Market"); or
(iii) admitted to trading on another regulated market as defined under Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on markets in financial instruments (the
"Markets in Financial Instruments Directive"),
such Notes hereinafter referred to as the "PD Notes". PD Notes may be issued in any denominations as agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s), and any PD Notes which have a
denomination of less than EUR 100,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency) and do not otherwise fall within an exemption from the requirement to publish a prospectus under the
Prospectus Directive are referred to hereinafter as "Non-Exempt PD Notes".
This Base Prospectus is a base prospectus for the purposes of Article 5.4 of the Prospectus Directive and the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht) and regulations
thereunder (together "Dutch securities laws") and has been approved by the AFM in its capacity as competent authority under Dutch securities laws, in accordance with the provisions of the
Prospectus Directive and Dutch securities laws on 30 July 2014, in relation to PD Notes only.
The Issuer may also issue unlisted Notes and/or Notes not admitted to trading on any regulated market in the European Economic Area (where such Notes are, in addition, issued with a
minimum denomination of at least EUR 100,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency) or otherwise fall within an exemption from the requirement to publish a prospectus under the
Prospectus Directive, such Notes are hereinafter referred to as "Exempt Notes").
The AFM has neither approved nor reviewed information contained in this Base Prospectus in connection with the issue of any Exempt Notes.
Application is expected to be made to the SIX Swiss Exchange Ltd ("SIX Swiss Exchange") for registration of the Base Prospectus as an issuance programme for the listing of derivatives in
accordance with the Listing Rules and the Additional Rules for the Listing of Derivatives of the SIX Swiss Exchange. If approved, Notes issued under the Programme may also be listed and
admitted to trading on SIX Structured Products Exchange Ltd ("SIX Structured Products Exchange"). In respect of Notes to be listed on the SIX Structured Product Exchange, this Base
Prospectus together with the relevant Final Terms in respect of the issue of any such Notes will constitute the complete listing prospectus within the meaning of Article 21 of the Additional
Rules for the Listing of Derivatives of the SIX Swiss Exchange.
References in this Base Prospectus to Notes being "listed" (and all related references) shall mean that such Notes (i) have been admitted to trading on Euronext Amsterdam, (ii) have been
listed on the Official List and admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange Regulated Market or (iii) have been admitted to trading on SIX Structured Products Exchange, as the
case may be.
The Notes issued under this Programme may be issued in bearer form ("Bearer Notes") or in registered form ("Registered Notes"). Each Series of Notes in bearer form where the applicable
TEFRA exemption is "D Rules" will be represented on issue by a temporary global note in bearer form (each a "Temporary Global Note") or a permanent global note in bearer form (each a
"Permanent Global Note"). Interests in a Temporary Global Note will be exchangeable, in whole or in part, for interests in a Permanent Global Note on or after the date 40 days after the
later of the commencement of the offering and the relevant issue date, upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership.
Notes of each Tranche of each Series which are sold in an "offshore transaction" within the meaning of Regulation S ("Unrestricted Notes") under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act") will initially be represented by a permanent registered global certificate (each, an "Unrestricted Global Certificate"), without interest coupons, which may be deposited
on the issue date (a) in the case of a Tranche intended to be cleared through Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, with the Common Depositary on behalf of Euroclear and
Clearstream, Luxembourg and (b) in the case of a Tranche intended to be cleared through a clearing system other than or in addition to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, The
Depository Trust Company ("DTC") or delivered outside a clearing system, as agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer.
Registered Notes issued by the Issuer which are sold in the United States to "qualified institutional buyers" within the meaning of Rule 144A ("Rule 144A") under the Securities Act
("Restricted Notes") will initially be represented by a permanent registered global certificate (each, a "Restricted Global Certificate" and, together with the Unrestricted Global Certificate,
the "Global Certificates"), without interest coupons, which may be deposited on the issue date either with (a) the Common Depositary on behalf of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg
or (b) a custodian for, and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for, DTC.
Beneficial interests in Global Certificates held by Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or DTC will be shown on, and transfers thereof will be effected only through, records maintained
by Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or DTC and their participants. See "Clearing and Settlement". The provisions governing the exchange of interests in the Global Notes and in
each Global Certificate are described in "Form of the Notes".
An investment in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. For a discussion of these risks see "Risk Factors" on pages 31 to 61.

In relation to each separate issue of Notes, the price and amount of such Notes will be determined by the Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s) in accordance with prevailing market conditions at
the time of the issue of the Notes and will be set out in the relevant Final Terms.
Senior long-term Notes issued under the Programme are expected to be rated AA- by Fitch Ratings Ltd ("Fitch"). Senior unsecured Notes are expected to be rated Aa2 by Moody's Investors
Service Ltd. ("Moody's") and are expected to be rated AA- by Standard & Poor's Credit Market Services Europe Limited ("Standard & Poor's"). Each of Fitch, Moody's and Standard &
Poor's is established in the European Union and is registered under Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 (the "CRA Regulation"). In addition, this Base Prospectus contains or refers to certain
credit ratings issued by DBRS Ratings Limited ("DBRS"). DBRS is established in the European Union and is registered under the CRA Regulation. A list of credit rating agencies registered
under the CRA Regulation is published by the European Securities and Markets Authority on its website. Notes issued pursuant to the Programme may be rated or unrated. Where an issue of
Notes is rated, its rating will not necessarily be the same as the rating applicable to Notes issued under the Programme and will be specified in the relevant Final Terms. Whether or not a
rating in relation to any Notes will be treated as having been issued by a credit rating agency established in the European Union and/or regulated under the CRA Regulation will be disclosed
in the relevant Final Terms. None of these ratings is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and any of them may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by
the assigning rating agency without prior notice.
This Base Prospectus supersedes and replaces the base prospectus dated 22 June 2012.

The date of this Base Prospectus is 30 July 2014

//

This Base Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that, except to the extent sub-paragraph (b) below may
apply, any offer of Notes in any Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the
Prospectus Directive (each, a "Relevant Member State") will be made pursuant to an exemption under the
Prospectus Directive, as implemented in that Relevant Member State, from the requirement to publish a
prospectus for offers of Notes. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant
Member State of Notes which are the subject of an offering contemplated in this Base Prospectus as
completed by Final Terms in relation to the offer of those Notes may only do so (a) in circumstances in which
no obligation arises for the Issuer or any Dealer to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus
Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive, in each case, in
relation to such offer, or (b) in the circumstances described under "Public Offers of Non-Exempt PD Notes in
the European Economic Area" on pages 81 to 86. Except to the extent sub-paragraph (b) above may apply,
neither the Issuer nor any Dealer has 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.
In relation to Notes that are to be listed on the SIX Structured Products Exchange, the Issuer accepts
responsibility for the information contained in this Base Prospectus and to the best knowledge and belief of
the Issuer 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.
No person has been authorised to give any information or to make any representation other than those
contained in this Base Prospectus in connection with the issue or sale of the Notes 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
Dealer(s) or the Arranger (as defined in "General Description of the Programme"). Neither the delivery of
this Base Prospectus nor any sale made in connection herewith shall, under any circumstances, create any
implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the Issuer since 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 in the financial position of the Issuer since the date hereof or the date upon which this Base
Prospectus has been most recently amended or supplemented or that any other information supplied in
connection with the Programme is correct as of any time subsequent to the date on which it is supplied or, if
different, the date indicated in the document containing the same.
The Arranger and the Dealer(s) (excluding Rabobank International) have not separately verified the
information contained in this Base Prospectus. None of the Dealer(s) (excluding Rabobank International) or
the Arranger makes any representation, express or implied, or accepts any responsibility, in respect of the
accuracy or completeness of any of the information in this Base Prospectus. Neither this Base Prospectus nor
any other financial statements should be considered as a recommendation by the Issuer, the Dealer(s) or the
Arranger that any recipient of this Base Prospectus or any other financial statements should purchase the
Notes. Prospective investors should have regard to the factors described under the section entitled "Risk
Factors" in this Base Prospectus. This Base Prospectus does not describe all of the risks of an investment in
the Notes. Each potential purchaser of Notes should determine for itself the relevance of the information
contained in this Base Prospectus and its purchase of Notes should be based upon such investigation, as it
deems necessary. None of the Dealer(s) nor the Arranger undertakes to review the financial condition or
affairs of the Issuer during the life of the arrangements contemplated by this Base Prospectus nor to advise
any investor or potential investor in the Notes of any information coming to the attention of any of the
Dealer(s) or the Arranger.
In connection with the issue of any Tranche, one or more relevant Dealer(s) (in such capacity, the "Stabilising
Manager(s)") (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) 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
//
2

otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf
of any Stabilising Manager) will undertake stabilisation action. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after
the date on which adequate public disclosure of the Final Terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche 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 and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche. Any stabilisation
action or overallotment must be conducted by the relevant Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf
of any Stabilising Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
This Base Prospectus does not constitute an offer of, or an invitation by or on behalf of the Issuer or the
Dealer(s) to subscribe for, or purchase, any Notes.
The distribution of this Base Prospectus and any Final Terms and the offering or sale of the Notes in certain
jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Base Prospectus or any Final Terms
come are required by the Issuer, the Dealer(s) and the Arranger to inform themselves about and to observe any
such restriction. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or with any
securities regulatory authority of any State or other jurisdiction of the United States and are being sold
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of such Act. The Notes include Bearer Notes that
are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, Notes may not be offered or 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 as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act ("Regulation S").
The Notes are being offered and sold outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation
S and (in the case of Restricted Notes issued by the Issuer) within the United States to "qualified institutional
buyers" in reliance on Rule 144A. Prospective purchasers are hereby notified that sellers of Notes may be
relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. For a
description of these and certain further restrictions on offers, sales and transfer of the Notes and on
distribution of this Base Prospectus or any Final Terms or any other offering material relating to the Notes,
see "Transfer Restrictions" and "Subscription and Sale".
The Notes have not been approved or disapproved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC"), any State securities commission in the United States or any other U.S. regulatory authority, nor have
any of the foregoing authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Notes or the
accuracy or adequacy of this Base Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the
United States.
An investment in the Notes does not constitute a participation in a collective investment scheme within
the meaning of the Swiss Federal Act on Collective Investment Schemes ("CISA"). Therefore, the issues
of Notes do not require an authorisation, and are not subject to the supervision, of the Swiss Financial
Market Supervisory Authority ("FINMA") and prospective investors in the Notes are not eligible for
the specific investor protection provided under the CISA.
All figures in this Base Prospectus have not been audited, unless stated otherwise. These figures are internal
figures of Rabobank Nederland or Rabobank Group.

key information in order to aid investors when considering whether to invest in the Notes.
