Republic of Iraq U.S.$1,000,000,000 6.752 per cent. Notes due 2023 Issue Price of the Notes: 100.00 per cent. The U.S.$1,000,000,000 6.752 per cent. Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) to be issued by the Republic of Iraq (the “Issuer” or “Iraq”), acting through the Ministry of Finance of Iraq (the “Ministry of Finance”), will mature on March 9, 2023 and, unless previously purchased and cancelled, will be redeemed at their principal amount on that date. The Notes are being offered as debt securities under an indenture expected to be dated August 9, 2017. The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.752 per cent. per annum. Interest will accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the Notes from and including August 9, 2017 and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 9 and September 9 in each year, commencing on March 9, 2018. Withholding tax on interest paid by any person residing in Iraq to a person outside Iraq is currently set at 15%. Iraq will be obliged to pay such additional amounts on the Notes as may be necessary to ensure that the holders of the Notes receive a payment, after the withholding tax, equal to the payment which holders of the Notes would have received had no deduction or withholding for or on account of such withholding tax on interest been required, subject to certain standard exceptions set out in “Description of the Notes—Additional Amounts.” The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States, and may not be offered or sold within the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. For a summary of certain restrictions on resale, see “Plan of Distribution” and “Transfer Restrictions.” The Notes will be offered and sold outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”) and within the United States to “qualified institutional buyers” (“QIBs”) only (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”)) in reliance on Rule 144A. Prospective purchasers are hereby notified that sellers of the Notes may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. SEE “RISK FACTORS” FOR A DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED IN CONNECTION WITH AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES STARTING ON PAGE 8. The Notes are expected to be rated B- by Fitch Ratings Ltd. (“Fitch”) and B- by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (“S&P”). The rating agencies have also issued ratings in respect of the Issuer as set out in this prospectus (the “Prospectus”). A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization. As of the date of this Prospectus, each of the rating agencies is established in the European Union (the “EU”) and is registered under Regulation (EU) No 1060/2009, as amended (the “CRA Regulation”). As such, each of the rating agencies is included in the list of credit rating agencies published by the European Securities and Markets Authority (“ESMA”) on its website in accordance with the CRA Regulation. In general, European regulated investors are restricted under the CRA Regulation from using credit ratings for regulatory purposes, unless such ratings are issued by a credit rating agency established in the EU and registered under the CRA Regulation (and such registration has not been withdrawn or suspended), subject to transitional provisions that apply in certain circumstances whilst the registration application is pending. Such general restriction will also apply in the case of credit ratings issued by non-EU credit rating agencies, unless the relevant credit ratings are endorsed by an EU-registered credit rating agency or the relevant non-EU rating agency is certified in accordance with the CRA Regulation (and such endorsement or certification, as the case may be, has not been withdrawn or suspended). The list of registered and certified rating agencies published by ESMA on its website in accordance with the CRA Regulation is not conclusive evidence of the status of the relevant rating agency included in such list, as there may be delays between certain supervisory measures being taken against a relevant rating agency and the publication of the updated ESMA list. The Notes will be offered and sold in registered form in denominations of U.S.$200,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S (the “Unrestricted Notes”) are each represented by beneficial interests in an unrestricted global certificate (the “Unrestricted Global Certificates”), in registered form without interest coupons attached, which will be registered in the name of a nominee for, and shall be deposited on or about August 9, 2017 (the “Closing Date”) with the common depositary for, and in respect of interests held through, Euroclear Bank SA/NV (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”).
