EXPENSES OF THE ISSUE
NIB estimates the expenses of the issue to be Euro 100,000.
GENERAL INFORMATION RELATING TO THE LUXEMBOURG STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING
NIB has obtained all necessary consents, approvals and authorizations in connection with the issuance and performance of the Notes.
Resolutions of the Board of Directors of NIB, dated December 14, 2006, December 16, 2010, December 11, 2014, December 10, 2015 and
December 12, 2016, authorized the issuance of the Notes and related matters.
NIB has applied to list the Notes on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange in accordance with the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
pursuant to the Luxembourg Prospectus Act. Copies of the 2004 Agreement and all reports prepared and filed are available at the office of BNP
Paribas Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch, the listing agent in Luxembourg.
So long as any of the Notes remain outstanding and listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, copies (and English translations for
documents not in English) of the following items will be available free of charge from NIB's listing agent at its offices at 60 avenue J.F. Kennedy,
L-1855 Luxembourg, Luxembourg:


·
all incorporated documents that are considered part of this pricing supplement;


·
the audited annual financial statements of NIB;


·
future annual financial reports of NIB; and


·
any related notes to these items.
During the same period, the Fiscal Agency Agreement will be available for inspection at the office of BNP Paribas Securities Services,
Luxembourg Branch in Luxembourg. NIB will, until the repayment of the Notes, maintain a paying agent in Luxembourg, which initially will be
BNP Paribas Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch. Payments on book-entry Notes that clear through Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg
may be effected through the Luxembourg paying agent. BNP Paribas Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch will also serve as transfer agent in
Luxembourg.
If any payment on a Note presented for payment in Luxembourg is due on a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by
law or regulations to be closed in Luxembourg, such payment will be made on the next Luxembourg Business Day (a day, other than Saturday or
Sunday, which is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulations to be closed in Luxembourg). This
payment will be treated as if it were made on the due date, and no additional interest will accrue as a result of this delay.
Notices to holders of the Notes will be made by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the registered holders. Notices concerning the Notes will
also be made by publication in a leading newspaper having general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort) or
by publication on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's website (www.bourse.lu). In particular, notices relating to any redemption permitted under
the terms of the Notes and relating to interest rates will be notified to the Luxembourg paying agent and the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Any
notice will be deemed to have been given on the date of publication or, if published more than once, on the date of first publication.

no obligation of the stabilizing manager or any agent of the stabilizing manager to do
this. Any such stabilizing, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time, and must be
brought to an end after a limited period. Such stabilizing shall be in compliance with all
applicable laws, regulations and rules.

into the specified currency to enable you to pay for the notes. You must make this
request on or before the fifth Business Day preceding the issue date, or by a later date if
the agent allows. The agent will set the terms for each conversion and you will be

RISK FACTORS
Your investment in the notes entails risks. This section describes certain risks associated with investing in the notes and, in particular, foreign
currency notes and indexed notes. The applicable pricing supplement may describe additional risks. Such notes are not an appropriate investment
for persons who are unsophisticated with respect to foreign currency transactions or the type of index or formula used to determine amounts

investment in light of your particular situation. NIB disclaims any responsibility for advising you on these matters.
NIB's credit ratings may not reflect all risks of an investment in the notes.
The credit ratings of NIB's medium-term note program may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to structure and other factors
on any trading market for, or the trading value of, the notes. In addition, real or anticipated changes in NIB's credit ratings will generally affect any
trading market for, or trading value of, the notes.
Any decline in NIB's credit ratings may affect the market value of your notes.
