OFFERING CIRCULAR STATKRAFT AS (a limited company registered under number 987 059 699 with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises) €6,000,000,000 EURO MEDIUM TERM NOTE PROGRAMME ______________________________________________________________ Under this €6,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the Programme), Statkraft AS (the Issuer) may from time to time issue notes (the Notes) denominated in any currency agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer (as defined below). The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Notes from time to time outstanding will not exceed €6,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies calculated as described in the Programme Agreement described herein), subject to increase as described herein. The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified on page 8 and any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme from time to time (each a Dealer and together the Dealers), which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an on-going basis. References in this Offering Circular to the relevant Dealer shall, in the case of an issue of Notes being (or intended to be) subscribed by more than one Dealer, be to all Dealers agreeing to purchase such Notes. Notes may be issued in bearer form (Bearer Notes), registered form (Registered Notes) or uncertificated book entry form cleared through the Norwegian Central Securities Depositary, the Verdipapirsentralen (VPS Notes and the VPS, respectively). An investment in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. For a discussion of these risks see “Risk Factors”. Application has been made to the Irish Stock Exchange plc trading as Euronext Dublin (Euronext Dublin) for Notes issued under the Programme during the period of 12 months from the date of this Offering Circular to be admitted to its official list (the Euronext Dublin Official List) and to trading on its regulated market. This Offering Circular has been approved as a base prospectus by the Central Bank of Ireland as competent authority under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the Prospectus Regulation). The Central Bank of Ireland only approves this Offering Circular as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the Prospectus Regulation. Approval by the Central Bank of Ireland should not be considered as an endorsement of the Issuer or of the quality of the Notes. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in the Notes. Such approval relates only to Notes that are to be admitted to trading on Euronext Dublin’s regulated market or on another regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended and/or that are to be offered to the public in any member state of the European Economic Area (the EEA) in circumstances that require the publication of a prospectus. This Offering Circular (as supplemented as at the relevant time, if applicable) is valid for 12 months from its date in relation to Notes which are to be admitted to trading on a regulated market in the EEA. The obligation to supplement this Offering Circular in the event of a significant new factor, material mistake or material inaccuracy does not apply when this Offering Circular is no longer valid. References in this Offering Circular to Notes being listed (and all related references) shall mean that such Notes have been admitted to trading on Euronext Dublin’s regulated market and have been admitted to the Euronext Dublin Official List. VPS Notes may be listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange’s regulated market and, in this case, listed (and all related references) shall be construed accordingly. Each of Euronext Dublin’s regulated market and the Oslo Stock Exchange’s regulated market are regulated markets for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended). Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the issue price of Notes and certain other information which is applicable to each Tranche (as defined under “Terms and Conditions of the Notes”) of Notes will be set out in a final terms document (the Final Terms) which will be delivered to the Central Bank of Ireland and Euronext Dublin. Copies of Final Terms will be published on the website of Euronext Dublin. The Issuer may also issue unlisted Notes and/or Notes not admitted to trading on any market. The Notes of each Tranche will initially be represented by either a Temporary Global Note, a Permanent Global Note, a Regulation S Global Note, a Restricted Global Note and/or Definitive Registered Notes (each as defined below) as indicated in the applicable Final Terms.
