purposes of Article 16 of Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended (the Prospectus Directive) as implemented in

requirements imposed under Irish and EU law pursuant to the Prospectus Directive.
The language of this Supplement is English. Certain legislative references and technical terms have been
cited in their original language in order that the correct technical meaning may be ascribed to them under
applicable law.
The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Supplement and the Guarantor accepts
responsibility for the information relating to itself contained in this Supplement. To the best of the
knowledge and belief of the Issuer and, in respect of the information relating to itself only, the Guarantor
(each having taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case) the information contained in this
Supplement is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the import of such
information.
Purpose of the Supplement

statements for the six month period ended 30 June 2016, (b) update the information contained in the Base
Prospectus regarding the long-term rating assigned by Moody’s to the Guarantor, (c) include a new

GUARANTOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On 28 July 2016, the Guarantor’s unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for the six months
ended 30 June 2016, which have been subjected to a limited review by Ernst & Young S.p.A. (the
Guarantor Financial Statements), were presented to the Guarantor’s board of directors.
The Guarantor Financial Statements are set out in Annex 1 to this Supplement, at pages F-2 to F-20.
UPDATE OF THE INFORMATION REGARDING THE LONG-TERM RATING ASSIGNED BY
MOODY'S TO THE GUARANTOR
The text which appears on page 2, second paragraph of the Base Prospectus is no longer up-to-date and the
current position is set out below. Such second paragraph is therefore hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced as follows:
“The rating of certain Series of Notes to be issued under the Programme may be specified in the applicable
Final Terms. Whether or not each credit rating applied for in relation to relevant Series of Notes will be
issued by a credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered under Regulation (EC) No.
1060/2009 (as amended) (the CRA Regulation) will be disclosed in the Final Terms. Such credit rating
agency will be included in the list of credit rating agencies published by the European Securities and Markets
Authority on its website (at http://www.esma.europa.eu/page/List-registered-and-certified-CRAs) in
accordance with the CRA Regulation). The Guarantor has been assigned a long-term rating of Baa1 (outlook
stable) by Moody's Investors Service Ltd. (Moody’s), BBB (outlook positive) by FITCH ITALIA – Società
Italiana per Il Rating S.p.A. (Fitch) and BBB- (outlook stable) by Standard & Poor's Credit Market Services
Italy S.r.l. (S&P). Each of Moody’s, Fitch and S&P is established in the European Union and registered
under the CRA Regulation, and is included in the list of registered credit rating agencies published on the
website of the European Securities and Markets Authority referenced above. Please also refer to “Credit
ratings may not reflect all risks” in the “Risk Factors” section of this Base Prospectus.”
INCLUSION OF A RISK FACTOR RELATING TO THE UNCERTAINTY SURROUNDING THE
UK'S MEMBERSHIP OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
The following paragraph is added under the sub-section headed “Factors that may affect the Issuer's ability
to fulfil its obligations under the Notes issued under the programme and the Guarantor's ability to fulfil its
obligations under the Guarantee in respect of the Notes issued under the Programme” in the section “Risk
Factors”, immediately following the paragraph headed “Potential conflicts of interest” on page 24 of the
Base Prospectus:
“Uncertainty surrounding the UK's membership of the European Union
On 23 June 2016 the United Kingdom (UK) held a referendum to decide on the UK's membership of the
European Union. The UK vote was to leave the European Union. There are a number of uncertainties in
connection with the future of the UK and its relationship with the European Union. The negotiation of the
UK’s exit terms is likely to take a number of years. Until the terms and timing of the UK’s exit from the
European Union are clearer, it is not possible to determine the impact that the referendum, the UK’s
departure from the European Union and/or any related matters may have on the business of the Issuer. As
such, no assurance can be given that such matters would not adversely affect the ability of the Issuer to
satisfy its obligations under the Notes, the ability of the Guarantor to satisfy its obligations under the
Guarantee and/or the market value and/or the liquidity of the Notes in the secondary market.”

UPDATE ON LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The following paragraph is added at the end of sub-section “8. Legal Proceedings” in the section
“Description of the Guarantor” on page 92 of the Base Prospectus:
“In July 2015, the Italian antitrust authority (Autorita’ Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato, AGCM),
opened an inquiry involving initially several long-term rental companies. In December 2015, the inquiry was
expanded to encompass other long-term rental companies, including FCA Bank’s subsidiary, Leasys S.p.A.
The possible objectives of this inquiry are information exchanges designed to coordinate the commercial
strategies of the companies involved and the trade association, ANIASA (Associazione Nazionale Industria
dell'Autonoleggio e Servizi Automobilistici), which Leasys left at the end of 2013.
These procedures will lead to a possible decision within two to three years. FCA Bank continues to monitor
the development of such inquiry.”
CHANGES TO THE SECTION “TAXATION”
The text which appears on page 95, paragraph (c) of the Base Prospectus in the subsection “Taxation in
Ireland” is no longer correct and the current position is set out below. Such paragraph is hereby deleted in its
entirety and replaced as follows:
“(c) interest paid by the Issuer which is paid free of withholding tax in accordance with the conditions set
out below under the heading “Withholding Tax”, third paragraph thereof (being paragraph (c) below
entitled “Interest paid on a wholesale debt instrument”), to a person who is not resident in Ireland
and who is resident for tax purposes in a Relevant Territory; and”
Furthermore, the text which appears on page 96, paragraph (b) of the Base Prospectus in the subsection
“Taxation in Ireland” is no longer correct and the current position is set out below. Such paragraph is hereby
deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:
“(b) Short interest: Short interest is interest payable on a debt for a fixed period that is not intended to
exceed, and, in fact, does not exceed, 364 days. The test is a commercial test applied to the
commercial intent of each series of Notes issued under the Programme. For example, if there is an
arrangement or understanding (whether legally binding or not) for the relevant series of Notes (or
particular Note within a series) to have a life of 364 days of more, the interest paid on the relevant
Note(s) will not be short interest and, unless an exemption applies, a withholding will arise.”
CHANGES TO THE SECTION “SUBSCRIPTION AND SALE”
The text which appears on page 108, in the paragraph entitled “Ireland” is no longer correct and the current
position is set out below. Such paragraph is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:
“Ireland

(d) in respect of Notes which are not listed on a stock exchange and which mature within two years and
which carry a right to interest or are issued at a discount or at a premium, such Notes must be held in a

minimum denomination of €500,000 or US$500,000 or, in the case of Notes which are denominated in
a currency other than euro or U.S. Dollars, the equivalent in that other currency of €500,000 (such
amount to be determined by reference to the relevant rate of exchange at the date of the issue of the

The paragraph “Significant or Material Change” on page 111 of the Base Prospectus shall be deemed deleted
and replaced with the following paragraph:

Save as disclosed in this Supplement, there has been no other significant new factor, material mistake or
inaccuracy relating to information included in the Base Prospectus since the publication of the Base
