Members of the Bund Issues Auction Group are entitled to bid. Bids must be for a par value of not less than € 1 million or an integral multiple thereof. The price bids must be expressed in terms of full 0.01 percentage points. Non-competitive bids are possible. The bids accepted by the issuer will be allotted at the price specified in the bid. Non-competitive bids are filled at the weighted average price of the competitive bids accepted. The right to scale down bids is reserved.

The auction allotments for inflation-linked Federal bonds will be included in the ranking list of the Bund Issues Auction Group. The weighting factors of inflation-linked Federal bonds thereby correspond to the weighting factors of the nominal interest-bearing Federal securities with the same maturity.
