1  It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made upon instruction of the Managers against payment on or about the Closing Date, which will be the sixth business day following the Date of Pricing of the notes (such settlement being referred to as “T+6”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes prior to the delivery of the notes hereunder may be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes will initially settle in T+6, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes prior to their date of delivery hereunder should consult their advisors.

Use of Proceeds:

  

The net proceeds from the sale of the notes will be used in the general business of the issuer.

 

Upon issuance, the issuer will simultaneously allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds of the notes (which proceeds may be converted into Euros) to an internal account used to track the allocation of funds from its “green bond” issuances. Amounts matching requests for disbursements under KfW’s environmental investment program, “Erneuerbare Energien - Standard” (“Renewable Energies - Standard”) will be deducted from the portion of the balance of this internal account relating to the notes on an ongoing basis, starting with the beginning of the calendar year in which the notes are issued and continuing until the portion of the balance relating to the notes has been completely reduced. As discussed below, the notes will be reported on KfW’s website as fully allocated when requests for disbursements in the aggregate total the net proceeds from the notes.

 

KfW’s financing program “Renewable Energies - Standard” aims to promote the development of electricity and heat from renewable resources. Measures financed through this program may include but are not limited to the following:

 

•    Photovoltaic equipment;

 

2  A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. Ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.


  

•    Wind power plants and repowering measures;

 

•    Hydro-electric power stations;

 

•    Equipment for the generation and use of biogas; and

 

•    Equipment for the geothermal generation of electricity.

 

The common objective of all projects financed under this program is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Equipment for the use of fossil fuels or nuclear power is not financed under the program.

 

Payment of principal of and interest on the notes will be made from the issuer’s general funds and will not be linked to the performance of any projects financed under the program “Renewable Energies - Standard.”

 

Following the issuance of the notes and until the notes have been reported as fully allocated, the issuer intends to regularly monitor the internal account in terms of disbursements under the program “Renewable Energies - Standard” and report on these disbursements on a quarterly basis on its website. Unless otherwise indicated, information available on or accessible through the issuer’s website is not incorporated herein by reference.

 

If the issuer’s use of the net proceeds from the notes is a factor in your decision to invest in the notes, you should consider the foregoing discussion and consult with your counsel or other advisors before making an investment in the notes.
