Base Prospectus for the issue of unsubordinated Notes

This document (the "Base Prospectus") constitutes a base prospectus in respect of Notes issued under the
Note, Warrant and Certificate Programme of BNP Paribas Issuance B.V. ("BNPP B.V."), BNP Paribas
("BNPP") and BNP Paribas Fortis Funding ("BP2F") (the "Programme"). Any Securities (as defined
below) issued on or after the date of this Base Prospectus are issued subject to the provisions herein. This
does not affect any Securities issued before the date of this Base Prospectus. This Base Prospectus
constitutes a base prospectus for the purposes of Article 5.4 of the Prospectus Directive. Prospectus
Directive means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended or superseded) and includes any relevant implementing
measure in a relevant Member State of the European Economic Area (the "EEA").
Application has been made to the Autorité des marchés financiers ("AMF") in France for approval of this
Base Prospectus in its capacity as competent authority pursuant to Article 212.2 of its Règlement Général
which implements the Prospectus Directive. Upon such approval, application may be made for securities
issued under the Programme during a period of 12 months from the date of this Base Prospectus to be listed
and/or admitted to trading on Euronext Paris and/or a Regulated Market (as defined below) in another
Member State of the EEA. Euronext Paris is a regulated market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial
Instruments Directive 2014/65/EU (each such regulated market being a "Regulated Market"). Reference in
this Base Prospectus to Securities being "listed" (and all related references) shall mean that such Securities
have been listed and admitted to trading on Euronext Paris or, as the case may be, a Regulated Market
(including the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (including the professional segment of
the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange)) or on such other or further stock exchange(s) as
the relevant Issuer may decide. Each Issuer may also issue unlisted Securities. The applicable Final Terms
(as defined below) will specify whether or not Securities are to be listed and admitted to trading and, if so,
the relevant Regulated Market or other or further stock exchange(s).
The requirement to publish a prospectus under the Prospectus Directive only applies to Securities which are
to be admitted to trading on a regulated market in the EEA and/or offered to the public in the EEA other than
in circumstances where an exemption is available under Article 3.2 of the Prospectus Directive (as
implemented in the relevant Member State(s)).
The Issuers may issue Securities for which no prospectus is required to be published under the Prospectus
Directive ("Exempt Securities") under this Base Prospectus. See "Exempt Securities" in the "General
1

Description of the Programme and Payout Methodology" section below. The AMF has neither approved nor
reviewed information contained in this Base Prospectus in connection with Exempt Securities.
Approval will also be granted by the Luxembourg Stock Exchange in accordance with Part IV of the
Luxembourg Act on prospectuses for securities dated 10 July 2005, as amended, for Securities (including
Exempt Securities) issued under the Programme to be admitted to the Official List and admitted to trading on
the Euro MTF Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the "Euro MTF") (including the professional
segment of the Euro MTF) during the twelve-month period after the date of approval of this Base Prospectus.
This Base Prospectus also constitutes a prospectus for the purpose of Part IV of the Luxembourg law on
prospectuses for securities dated 10 July 2005, as amended. The Euro MTF is not a regulated market for the
purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU.
Under the Programme each of BNPP B.V. and BP2F (the "Issuers" and each an "Issuer") may from time to
time issue, inter alia, notes ("Notes" or "Securities") of any kind including, but not limited to, Securities
relating to a specified index or a basket of indices, a specified share (including two or more shares which are
attached to each other so that they trade as a single unit ("Stapled Shares")), global depositary receipt
("GDR") or American depositary receipt ("ADR") or a basket of shares (including Stapled Shares), ADRs
and/or GDRs, a specified interest in an exchange traded fund, an exchange traded note, an exchange traded
commodity or other exchange traded product (each an "exchange traded instrument") or a basket of
interests in exchange traded instruments, a specified debt instrument or a basket of debt instruments, a
specified debt futures or debt options contract or a basket of debt futures or debt options contracts, a
specified currency or a basket of currencies, a specified commodity or commodity index, or a basket of
commodities and/or commodity indices, a specified inflation index or a basket of inflation indices, a
specified fund share or unit or fund index or basket of fund shares or units or fund indices, a specified futures
contract or basket of futures contracts, a specified underlying interest rate or basket of underlying interest
rates, or the credit of a specified entity or entities and any other types of Securities including hybrid
Securities whereby the underlying asset(s) may be any combination of such indices, shares, interests in
exchange traded instruments, debt, currency, commodities, inflation indices, fund shares or units or fund
indices, futures contracts, credit of specified entities, underlying interest rates, or other asset classes or types.
Each issue of Securities will be issued on the terms set out herein under "Terms and Conditions of the Notes"
(the "Note Conditions" or the "Conditions"). Notice of, inter alia, the specific designation of the
Securities, the aggregate nominal amount or number and type of the Securities, the date of issue of the
Securities, the issue price (if applicable), the underlying asset, index, fund, fund index, reference entity or
other item(s) to which the Securities relate, the maturity date, whether they are interest bearing, partly paid,
redeemable in instalments, the governing law of the Securities and certain other terms relating to the offering
and sale of the Securities will be set out in a final terms document (the "Final Terms"). Copies of Final
Terms in relation to Securities to be listed on Euronext Paris will also be published on the website of the
AMF (www.amf-france.org). If Securities issued by BP2F are admitted to trading on a regulated market in
the EEA and/or offered to the public in the EEA in circumstances which require the publication of a
prospectus under the Prospectus Directive, the minimum Specified Denomination will be EUR 1,000 (or, if
denominated in a currency other than euro, the equivalent amount in such currency).
The specific terms of each Tranche of Exempt Securities will be set out in a pricing supplement document
(the "Pricing Supplement"). In respect of Exempt Securities to be admitted to trading on the Euro MTF, the
applicable Pricing Supplement will be delivered to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange on or before the date of
issue of the Exempt Securities of the relevant Tranche and published on the website of the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu). Copies of Pricing Supplements will be available from the specified office
of the Principal Paying Agent (subject as provided in paragraph 4 of "General Information", starting on page
1444). Any reference in this Base Prospectus to "Final Terms", "relevant Final Terms" or "applicable Final
Terms" will be deemed to include a reference to "Pricing Supplement", "relevant Pricing Supplement" or
"applicable Pricing Supplement" in relation to Exempt Securities, to the extent applicable.
Securities will be governed by English law ("English Law Securities") or, in the case of BNPP B.V. only,
French law ("French Law Securities"), as specified in the applicable Final Terms, and the corresponding
provisions in the Conditions will apply to such Securities.
In certain circumstances at the commencement of an offer period in respect of Securities but prior to the

specify a minimum and/or maximum price, rate, level or percentage, as applicable, or an indicative range in
respect of the relevant issue price, rates, levels or percentages and the actual price, rate, level or percentage,
as applicable, will be notified to investors prior to the Issue Date. Accordingly, in these circumstances
investors will be required to make their decision to invest in the relevant Securities based on the minimum
and/or maximum price, rate, level or percentage as applicable, or the indicative range specified in the Final
Terms. Notice of the actual price, rate, level or percentage, as applicable, will be published in the same
manner as the publication of the Final Terms.
Securities issued by BNPP B.V. may be secured ("Secured Securities") or unsecured and will be guaranteed
by BNPP (in such capacity, the "BNPP Guarantor") pursuant to either (a) in respect of the Secured
Securities, (i) a Deed of Guarantee for Secured Securities in respect of English Law Securities (the " BNPP

published on the website of the AMF (www.amf-france.org) and on the website of BNPP (https://rates-
globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gm/public/LegalDocs.aspx).

either to receive a cash amount (if any) calculated in accordance with the relevant terms or to receive
physical delivery of the underlying assets, all as set forth herein and in the applicable Final Terms.
Capitalised terms used in this Base Prospectus shall, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in

Prospective purchasers of Securities should ensure that they understand the nature of the relevant
Securities and the extent of their exposure to risks and that they consider the suitability of the relevant
Securities as an investment in the light of their own circumstances and financial condition. Securities
involve a high degree of risk and potential investors should be prepared to sustain a total loss of the
purchase price of their Securities. See "Risks" on pages 281 to 385.

amended (the "Securities Act") or any state securities laws and trading in the Securities has not been

United States Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the "Commodity Exchange Act"). None of the

period of 40 days after the completion of the distribution of all of the Notes of the relevant Tranche,
may not be offered, sold, resold, held, traded, pledged, exercised, redeemed, transferred or delivered,

Disclaimer statement for structured products (Securities)
In relation to investors in the Kingdom of Bahrain, Securities issued in connection with this Base Prospectus
and related offering documents must be in registered form and must only be marketed to existing account
holders and accredited investors as defined by the Central Bank of Bahrain (the "CBB") in the Kingdom of
Bahrain where such investors make a minimum investment of at least U.S.$ 100,000 or any equivalent
amount in other currency or such other amounts as the CBB may determine.
This offer does not constitute an offer of Securities in the Kingdom of Bahrain in terms of Article (81) of the
Central Bank and Financial Institutions Law 2006 (decree Law No. 64 of 2006). This Base Prospectus and
related offering documents have not been and will not be registered as a prospectus with the CBB.
Accordingly, no Securities may be offered, sold or made the subject of an invitation for subscription or
purchase nor will this Base Prospectus or any other related document or material be used in connection with
any offer, sale or invitation to subscribe or purchase Securities, whether directly or indirectly, to persons in
the Kingdom of Bahrain, other than as marketing to accredited investors for an offer outside Bahrain.
The CBB has not reviewed, approved or registered this Base Prospectus or related offering documents and it
has not in any way considered the merits of the Securities to be marketed for investment, whether in or
outside the Kingdom of Bahrain. Therefore, the CBB assumes no responsibility for the accuracy and
completeness of the statements and information contained in this document and expressly disclaims any
liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents
of this document.
No offer of securities will be made to the public in the Kingdom of Bahrain and this prospectus must be read
by the addressee only and must not be issued, passed to, or made available to the public generally.
Notification under Section 309B(1)(c) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289) of Singapore, as
modified or amended from time to time (the SFA) Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final
Terms in respect of any Securities, all Securities issued or to be issued under the Programme shall be capital
markets products other than prescribed capital markets products (as defined in the Securities and Futures
(Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018 of Singapore) and Specified Investment Products (as defined in
MAS Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and MAS Notice FAA-N16: Notice on
Recommendations on Investment Products).
IMPORTANT EEA RETAIL INVESTORS If the Final Terms in respect of any Securities specifies
the "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors - Legend" as applicable, the Securities 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 EEA other than in the jurisdiction(s) for which a key information document will
be made available. If the Final Terms in respect of any Securities specifies "Prohibition of Sales to EEA
Retail Investors - Legend" as not applicable, the Securities may be offered, sold or otherwise made available
to any retail investor in the EEA, provided that, where a key information document is required pursuant to
the PRIIPs Regulation (as defined below), the Securities may only be offered, sold or otherwise made
available to retail investors in the EEA in jurisdiction(s) for which a key information document has been
made available. 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 Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); (ii) a
customer within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC (as amended or superseded, the "Insurance
Mediation Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point
(10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive.
Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the "PRIIPs
Regulation") for offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in
the EEA has been prepared, other than in respect of the jurisdiction(s) for which a key information document
will be made available, and therefore offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to
any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

5

Amounts payable under the Notes may be calculated by reference to one or more "benchmarks" for the
purposes of Regulation (EU) No. 2016/1011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016
(the "Benchmarks Regulation"). In this case, a statement will be included in the applicable Final Terms as
to whether or not the relevant administrator of the "benchmark" is included in ESMA's register of
administrators under Article 36 of the Benchmarks Regulation. Certain "benchmarks" may either (i) not fall
within the scope of the Benchmarks Regulation by virtue of Article 2 of that regulation or (ii) transitional
provisions in Article 51 of the Benchmarks Regulation may apply to certain other "benchmarks" which
would otherwise be in scope such that at the date of the relevant Final Terms the administrator of the
"benchmark" is not required to be included in the register of administrators.
MiFID II product governance / target market The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a
legend entitled "MiFID II product governance/target market assessment" 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 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.
