CETELEM ČR, a.s. 5-Year Bond Issue Programme with maximum amount of CZK 10,000,000,000 in outstanding bonds This document constitutes the base prospectus (the "Base Prospectus") which applies to bonds issued under the debt issuance programme established by CETELEM ČR, a.s., with its registered office at Prague 5, Karla Engliše 5/3208, Postal Code: 150 00, ID-No.: 250 85 689, Czech Republic, incorporated in the Commercial Register administered by the Municipal Court in Prague, Section B, Insert No. 4331 (the "Issuer" or "CETELEM ČR" and the debt issuance programme hereinafter as the "Bond Programme" or the "Programme"). Under the Bond Programme the Issuer may issue individual bond offerings (debt securities issues) in compliance with generally binding laws (the "Bond Issues" or "Issues" or "Bonds"). The aggregate nominal value of all outstanding Bonds issued under the Bond Programme may not exceed CZK 10,000,000,000 at any time. The duration of the Bond Programme within which the Issuer may issue the Bonds under the Programme is to be five (5) years. In respect of each individual Bond Issue, the Issuer will prepare a special document (the "Issue Supplement") containing a supplement to the Bond Programme, i.e., a supplement to the general terms and conditions of the Bond Programme for the Issue in question (the "Bond Programme Supplement"). The Bond Programme Supplement will include, in particular, the nominal (face) value and number of the Bonds in the Issue, the issue date and method of such Bonds issue, the yield on and the issue price of the Bonds issue, the Bonds’ yield payment dates and maturity date(s) with respect to their nominal value, as well as other terms and conditions of each such individual Bond Issue, which either are not part of the general terms and conditions of the Programme, Chapter "The General Terms and Conditions of the Bond Programme", contained in this Base Prospectus or which may modify the general terms and conditions of the Programme contained in this Base Prospectus with respect to such Issue. If the Issuer intends to apply for the listing of any Bond Issue on a regulated securities market as at the issue date, the Issue Supplement will also contain the final terms and conditions of the Bond Issue (the "Final Terms and Conditions") so that the Issue Supplement and this Base Prospectus constitute a prospectus of the Issue in question. As needed, the Issuer may regularly update this Base Prospectus in a form of its amendments and additions. Each such a supplement will be approved by the Czech National Bank (the "CNB") and published in a way that each Bond Issue, the listing of which on the regulated market is applied for, is listed on the regulated market on the basis of an up-to-date security prospectus. For the purpose of listing the Bonds on the regulated market, this Base Prospectus will be valid for twelve (12) months from the date of its approval by the CNB. The Issuer does not intend to make any public offering of the Bonds issued under the Bond Programme under the applicable legislation, nor does it intend to entrust any third person with public offering of the Bonds. If, under the Issue Supplement, any individual Bond Issue is to be issued as listed securities (i.e, securities admitted for trading on a regulated market), the Issuer intends to apply for the listing of such Bonds on Burza cenných papírů Praha, a. s. (the "Prague Stock Exchange" or the "PSE") or any other regulated market that might succeed the PSE. The specific PSE market where the Bonds may be listed will be specified in the relevant Issue Supplement issued by the Issuer in respect of that Bond Issue. The relevant Issue Supplement may also specify that the Bonds will be placed on another regulated securities market or will not be placed on any regulated securities market.
