GREEN BONDS, SOCIAL BONDS OR SUSTAINABILITY BONDS

The Final Terms relating to any specific Tranche of Notes may provide that the Issuer will apply an amount equivalent to the net proceeds from the issuance of such Tranche of Notes to finance or re-finance assets and projects ("Eligible Assets") which aim to provide positive environmental and social impact as well as contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals ("SDGs"). The Issuer has established a framework for such issuances (the "Sustainable Financing Framework") which further specifies the eligibility criteria for such Eligible Assets based on the recommendations included in the voluntary process guidelines for issuing green, social and sustainability bonds published by the International Capital Market Association ("ICMA") (the "ICMA Green Bond Principles 2018", the "ICMA Social Bond Principles 2020", the "ICMA Sustainability Bond Guidelines 2018" and together, the "ICMA Sustainable Bond Principles").

A second party opinion dated June 10, 2021 (the "Sustainalytics Opinion") on the alignment of the Issuer's Sustainable Financing Framework with the ICMA Sustainable Bond Principles has been provided by Sustainalytics and is available on the website of the Issuer.

For a summary of the Sustainable Financing Framework please refer to the section "Sustainable Financing Framework" in this Base Prospectus.

Neither the Sustainable Financing Framework nor the Sustainalytics Opinion is incorporated into or forms part of this Base Prospectus. None of the Arranger, the Dealers, any of their respective affiliates or any other person mentioned in the Base Prospectus makes any representation as to the suitability of such Notes to fulfil environmental, social and/or sustainability criteria required by any prospective investors. The Arranger and the Dealers have not undertaken, nor are responsible for, any assessment of the Sustainable Financing Framework or the Eligible Assets, any verification of whether any Eligible Asset meets the criteria set out in the Sustainable Financing Framework or the monitoring of the use of proceeds.

Notes issued under the Programme will not qualify as "European Green Bonds". Any Tranche of Notes issued under this Programme and referred to as "green bond" will only comply with the criteria and processes set out in the Issuer's Sustainable Financing Framework.

MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET

The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "Distributor") should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a Distributor subject to Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II") is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID Product Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product Governance Rules"), any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MiFID Product Governance Rules.

UK MIFIR PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET

The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "UK MiFIR Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate.

PRIIPS REGULATION / EEA RETAIL INVESTORS

If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes include a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Where such a Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors is included in the Final Terms, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as amended (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling such Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

UK PRIIPS REGULATION / UK RETAIL INVESTORS

If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes include a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom ("UK"). For the purposes of this provision the expression "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of the following: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Where such a Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors is included in the Final Terms, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Base Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements. A forward-looking statement is a statement that does not relate to historical facts and events. They are based on analyses or forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable or foreseeable. These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of terms and phrases such as "anticipate", "believe", "could", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "may", "plan", "predict", "project", "will" and similar terms and phrases, including references and assumptions. This applies, in particular, to statements in this Base Prospectus containing information on future earning capacity, plans and expectations regarding LEG Group's business and management, its growth and profitability, and general economic and regulatory conditions and other factors that affect it.

Forward-looking statements in this Base Prospectus are based on current estimates and assumptions that the Issuer makes to the best of its present knowledge. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results, including the Group's financial condition and results of operations, to differ materially from and be worse than results that have expressly or implicitly been assumed or described in these forward-looking statements. The Group's business is also subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause a forward-looking statement, estimate or prediction in this Base Prospectus to become inaccurate. Accordingly, investors are strongly advised to read the following sections of this Base Prospectus: "Risk Factors" and "Description of LEG Immobilien SE and the LEG Group". These sections include more detailed descriptions of factors that might have an impact on the Group's business and the markets in which it operates.

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, future events described in this Base Prospectus may not occur. In addition, neither the Issuer nor the Dealers assume any obligation, except as required by law, to update any forward-looking statement or to conform these forward-looking statements to actual events or developments.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMME

General

Under the Programme, LEG, subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and directives, may from time to time issue notes (the "Notes") to one or more of the following Dealers: Barclays Bank Ireland PLC, BNP Paribas, BofA Securities Europe SA, Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft, Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE, HSBC Continental Europe, Société Générale, UniCredit Bank GmbH and any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme from time to time by the Issuer which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis (together, the "Dealers").

Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft acts as arranger in respect of the Programme (the "Arranger").

Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft also acts as fiscal agent (the "Fiscal Agent") and paying agent (the "Paying Agent").

The aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding at any one time under the Programme will not exceed EUR 10,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency) (the "Programme Amount"). The Issuer may increase the Programme Amount in accordance with the terms of the Dealer Agreement (as defined herein) from time to time.

Prospectus

Notes issued under the Programme may be issued either: (1) pursuant to this Base Prospectus and associated Final Terms; or

  1. pursuant to a Specific Prospectus (as defined below); or (3) in relation to Notes not admitted to trading on a regulated market of, any member state of the EEA, in such form as agreed between the Issuer, the relevant Dealer(s) and, if relevant for the Fiscal Agent, the Fiscal Agent.

"Specific Prospectus" means any prospectus prepared by the Issuer in relation to Notes issued under the Programme and having terms not contemplated by the Base Prospectus as Option I or Option II, which may incorporate by reference certain parts of the Base Prospectus and which constitutes a prospectus for the purposes of Article 6 para. 3 of the Prospectus Regulation, including any documents which are from time to time incorporated by reference in the Specific Prospectus, as such Specific Prospectus is amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time.

Issues of Notes

Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers.

The Notes issued under this Base Prospectus will be issued as fixed rate notes (the "Fixed Rate Notes"), non-interest bearing notes (the "Non-interestBearing Notes") or floating rate notes (the "Floating Rate Notes").

Notes will be issued in series (each a "Series") having one or more issue dates and on terms otherwise identical (or identical other than in respect of the first payment of interest), the Notes of each Series being intended to be interchangeable with all other Notes of that Series. Each Series may be issued in tranches (each a "Tranche") on the same or different issue dates. The specific terms of each Tranche (which will be completed, where necessary, with the relevant Terms and Conditions and, save in respect of the issue date, issue price, first payment of interest (if any) and nominal amount of the Tranche, will be identical to the terms of other Tranches of the same Series) will be completed in the final terms.

Notes of any Tranche may be issued at a price (the "Issue Price") equal to their principal amount or at a discount or premium to their principal amount. The Issue Price for the Notes of any Tranche issued on a syndicated basis will be determined at the time of pricing on the basis of a yield which will be determined on the basis of the orders of the investors which are received by the Dealers during the placement of such Notes. Orders will specify a minimum yield and may only be confirmed at or above such yield. The resulting yield will be used to determine the Issue Price.

Notes will be issued in such denominations as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s) and as indicated in the applicable Final Terms save that the minimum denomination of the Notes will be, if in euro, EUR 100,000, and, if in any currency other than euro, an amount in such other currency at least equivalent to EUR 100,000 at the time of the issue of Notes. Subject to any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, and requirements of relevant central banks, Notes may be issued in euro or any other currency.

Notes will be issued with such maturities as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s), subject to such minimum or maximum maturities as may be allowed or required from time to time by any laws, regulations and directives applicable to the Issuer or the relevant currency. However, Notes will be issued with a minimum maturity of twelve months or more.

7

The principal amount of the Notes, the currency, the interest payable in respect of the Notes, if any, the Issue Price and maturities of the Notes which are applicable to a particular Tranche will be set out in the relevant Final Terms.

The yield for Fixed Rate Notes and Non-interest Bearing Notes will be calculated by the use of the ICMA method, which determines the effective interest rate of notes taking into account accrued interest (if any) on a daily basis.

Form of Notes

Each Series of Notes will either be represented by one or more physical global bearer notes (such Series: "Physical Notes") or

represented by an electronic central register security (such Series: "Electronic Notes").

Physical Notes

If so specified in the relevant Final Terms, the relevant Series of Notes (or each Tranche of such Series, as the case may be) will be represented on issue by a temporary global note (each a "Temporary Global Note"). Interests in a Temporary Global Note will be exchangeable, in whole or in part, for interest in a permanent global note (each a "Permanent Global Note") on or after the date 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the relevant issue date, upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership.

The Notes will be freely transferable in accordance with the rules and regulations of the relevant Clearing System.

Electronic Notes

If so specified in the relevant Final Terms, the relevant Series of Notes will be represented by a central register security pursuant to § 4 para. 2 of the German Electronic Securities Act (Gesetz über elektronische Wertpapiere - "eWpG") (a "Central Register Security") and will be entered into a central securities register pursuant to § 12 eWpG (such register, a "Central Securities Register") operated by Clearstream Banking AG, Frankfurt am Main (the "Central Registrar").

For the issuance of Central Register Securities, the Central Registrar will use its proprietary digital platform D7 Digitiser ("D7 Digitiser"). Upon instruction of the Issuer via the D7 Digitiser to the Central Registrar, the Notes will be issued by the Central Registrar by making the respective entries into the Central Securities Register while referencing the Terms and Conditions of the relevant Series, which will be submitted (niedergelegt) to the Central Registrar by or on behalf of the Issuer prior to the issuance of the relevant Series of Notes.

The Central Registrar is entered into the Central Securities Register as the holder (Inhaber) of each Central Register Security in collective entry (Sammeleintragung) pursuant to § 8 para. 1 no. 1 eWpG for the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of the relevant Series issued and holds such Notes in trust for the relevant Noteholders of such Series as the beneficiaries (Berechtigte) within the meaning of § 3 para. 2 eWpG.

Central Register Securities in collective entry (Sammeleintragung) are deemed pursuant to § 9 para. 1 sentence 1 eWpG to form a collective securities inventory (Wertpapiersammelbestand) in which the relevant Noteholders hold proportional co- ownership interests or similar rights transferrable in accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of Clearstream Banking AG, Frankfurt am Main as the relevant clearing system.

No physical global note certificate (Sammelurkunde) or definitive note certificates and interest coupons will be issued for such Series of Notes and any claim of the relevant Noteholders to request to change the entry of the Central Register Securities from collective to individual entry (Einzeleintragung) or to request to exchange the Central Register Security for a global note certificate (Sammelurkunde) or for definitive note certificates is explicitly excluded.

Distribution of Notes

Notes may be distributed on a syndicated or non-syndicated basis. The Notes may only be offered to qualified investors in accordance with applicable law.

The offer and distribution of any Notes of any Tranche will be subject to selling restrictions, including those for the United States, the EEA, the United Kingdom, Japan and Singapore. See section "Subscription and Sale".

The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" and/or "UK MiFIR Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II and/or the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

Listing of Notes and Admission to Trading

Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes issued under the Programme to be listed on the

8

official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the "Official List") and to be admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market "Bourse de Luxembourg", appearing on the list of regulated markets issued by the European Commission. The Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market is a regulated market included on the list of regulated markets published by ESMA for the purposes of MiFID II. However, Notes may be listed on any other stock exchange, subject to the notification of the Base Prospectus in accordance with Art. 25 of the Prospectus Regulation, or may be unlisted as specified in the relevant Final Terms.

RISK FACTORS

Before deciding to purchase Notes issued under the Programme, investors should carefully review and consider the following risk factors and the other information contained in this Base Prospectus. Should one or more of the risks described below materialize, this may have a material adverse effect on the business, prospects, shareholders' equity, assets, financial position and results of operations (Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage) or general affairs of LEG. Moreover, if any of these risks occur, the market value of Notes issued under the Programme and the likelihood that the Issuer will be in a position to fulfil its payment obligations under Notes issued under the Programme may decrease, in which case the holders of Notes (the "Noteholders") issued under the Programme could lose all or part of their investments. Factors which the Issuer believes may be material for the purpose of assessing the risks associated with Notes issued under the Programme are also described below.

The Issuer believes that the factors described below represent the principal risks inherent in investing in Notes issued under the Programme, but the Issuer may be unable to pay interest, principal or other amounts on or in connection with Notes issued under the Programme for other unknown reasons than those described below. Additional risks of which the Issuer is not presently aware could also affect the business operations of LEG and have a material adverse effect on LEG's business activities, financial condition and results of operations. Prospective investors should read the detailed information set out elsewhere in this Base Prospectus (including any documents incorporated by reference herein) and reach their own views prior to making any investment decision.

The following risk factors are organised in categories depending on their respective nature. In each category the most material risk factors, based on the probability of their occurrence and the expected magnitude of their negative impact, are mentioned first.

Words and expressions defined in the Terms and Conditions shall have the same meanings in this section.

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE ISSUER AND LEG GROUP

Market Risks

LEG is dependent on the macroeconomic and demographic trends in the markets where its properties are located.

Developments in the residential property market in Germany and in its regional sub-markets are of significant importance for LEG Group's business and future prospects. The vast majority of LEG's properties are located in North Rhine-Westphalia. North Rhine-Westphalia has the highest population of all German federal states and consists of various socio-economically heterogeneous regional markets. Many parts of the Ruhr region are affected by structural change and are still suffering from the fact that mining activities, which in the past were very important for the state, have now been discontinued. This gives rise to various challenges to the economy and the population. In Westphalia, another large, more rural and less densely populated region of North Rhine-Westphalia, there is a migration away from rural and into urban areas. By contrast, several studies have shown that the Rhineland is one of the most attractive economic regions in Germany. Accordingly, there are major differences between the economic and demographic forecasts for the different regions.

Economic and demographic developments significantly impact demand for LEG properties, the rents that LEG can achieve, the payment patterns of LEG tenants and other developments significant to the business of LEG. These factors have significant impacts on the vacancy rate, LEG's income and the valuation of LEG's properties. LEG is thus dependent on economic developments in the relevant regions, and in particular on the trends in the regional sub-markets on which its portfolio focuses.

The economic development of some locations in which LEG has invested could depend heavily on a few companies or industries. As a result, if large companies, companies vital to certain regions, or companies in one or several industries were to become insolvent, close or relocate, this could have a material adverse effect on the economic development of the relevant location and, therefore, on LEG's portfolio.

A downward trend in various macroeconomic indicators in the regions where the Group's properties are located and in particular in North Rhine-Westphalia and the economic and demographic developments in the various relevant sub-markets could have a material adverse effect on the business, net assets, financial position, cash flow and results of operations of LEG.

LEG is exposed to risks associated with macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical developments and the performance of the economy in Germany and the European Union.

As of the date of this Base Prospectus, the global economy is characterised by volatility, uncertainty and declining growth, particularly in Europe.

Elevated indebtedness, rising inflation, a trend towards tighter monetary policy, notably in the European Union ("EU") and the United States of America ("United States"), and related banking sector weaknesses, wars and military conflicts, the trend of
