BNP Paribas è una banca multinazionale francese, tra le più grandi al mondo per capitalizzazione di mercato, attiva nel settore bancario al dettaglio, nella gestione patrimoniale e nelle attività di investimento.

Un'emissione obbligazionaria di BNP Paribas, uno dei principali gruppi bancari europei e globali, si presenta sul mercato con caratteristiche specifiche degne di nota per gli investitori; il titolo, identificato dal codice ISIN FR0014003CP2 e avente come paese di emissione la Francia, è attualmente quotato al 100% del suo valore nominale, denominato in Euro, e non prevede il pagamento di un tasso d'interesse periodico (0%), configurandosi come un'obbligazione a cedola zero o un titolo senza rendimento coupon, la cui scadenza è fissata per il 14 luglio 2026, con una dimensione totale dell'emissione pari a 30.000.000 di Euro e un lotto minimo di acquisto di 1.000 Euro, mentre la frequenza di pagamento indicata come "1" si riferisce all'unico rimborso del capitale alla data di scadenza. BNP Paribas, l'emittente di questo strumento, è un colosso bancario internazionale con sede a Parigi, Francia, riconosciuto per la sua vasta gamma di servizi finanziari che spaziano dalla banca al dettaglio al corporate e investment banking, nonché ai servizi finanziari internazionali, vantando una solida reputazione di stabilità e innovazione che la posiziona tra le istituzioni finanziarie più influenti a livello globale. Questa obbligazione, con la sua peculiarità di tasso d'interesse nullo e prezzo corrente al pari, potrebbe attrarre investitori che cercano strumenti a capitale protetto o che operano in strategie che non prevedono un rendimento periodico da interessi, ma si concentrano sulla conservazione del capitale a scadenza in un contesto di mercato specifico.

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 8 of the Prospectus Regulation.
"Prospectus Regulation" means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of 14 June 2017, as amended. This Base
Prospectus received approval no. 23-195 on 31 May 2023 from the Autorité des marchés financiers (the
"AMF") and will be valid for a period of one year following the date of its approval by the AMF. The obligation
to supplement this Base Prospectus in the event of a significant new factor, material mistake or material
inaccuracy does not apply when this Base Prospectus is no longer valid.
This Base Prospectus has been approved as a base prospectus by the AMF in France as competent authority
under the Prospectus Regulation. The AMF only approves this Base Prospectus as meeting the standards of
completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the Prospectus Regulation. Approval by the
AMF should not be considered as an endorsement of the Issuers or the Guarantors or of the quality of the
Securities. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in the Securities.
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 European Economic Area (the
"EEA"). Euronext Paris is a regulated market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments
Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended (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).
1

The requirement to publish a prospectus under the Prospectus Regulation 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 1(4) and/or 3(2) of the Prospectus Regulation.
The requirement to publish a prospectus under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ("FSMA") only
applies to Securities which are admitted to trading on a UK regulated market as defined in Regulation (EU)
No 600/2014 on markets in financial instruments as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European
Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA") ("UK MiFIR") and/or offered to the public in the United
Kingdom other than in circumstances where an exemption is available under section 86 of the FSMA.
The Issuers may issue Securities for which no prospectus is required to be published under (i) the Prospectus
Regulation and/or (ii) Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of 14 June 2017 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue
of the EUWA (the "UK Prospectus Regulation"), as the case may be ("Exempt Securities") under this Base
Prospectus. See "Exempt Securities" in the "Overview of this Base Prospectus" section below. The AMF has
neither approved nor reviewed information contained in this Base Prospectus in connection with Exempt
Securities.
Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange in accordance with the Luxembourg Act dated
16 July 2019 on prospectuses for securities (Loi relative aux prospectus pour valeurs mobilières) (the
"Prospectus Act") 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 from
the date of this Base Prospectus. This Base Prospectus also constitutes a prospectus for the purpose of the
Prospectus Act; however, the AMF has not verified that this is the case. The Euro MTF is not a regulated
market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU.
Under the terms of 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 (including EU emissions allowances ("EU Allowances")) or
commodity index, or a basket of commodities (including EU Allowances) and/or commodity indices, a
specified inflation index or a basket of inflation indices, a euro fund insurance or investment policy or
capitalisation contract, 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,
fund indices, a euro fund insurance or investment policy or capitalisation contract, futures contracts, credit of
specified entities, underlying interest rates, an actively managed notional portfolio of shares, exchange traded
instruments and/or BNPP indices ("Actively Managed Securities") or other asset classes or types. Each issue
of Securities will be issued on the terms set out herein which are relevant to such Securities 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, euro fund,
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 Regulation, the minimum Specified Denomination will be EUR 1,000 (or,
if denominated in a currency other than euro, the equivalent amount in such currency).

2

The specific terms of each Tranche of Exempt Securities will be set out in a final terms document for Exempt
Securities (the "Final Terms for Exempt Securities"). In respect of Exempt Securities to be admitted to
trading on the Euro MTF, the applicable Final Terms for Exempt Securities 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.luxse.com). Copies of Final Terms
for Exempt Securities will be available from the specified office of the Principal Paying Agent. Any reference
in this Base Prospectus to "Final Terms", "relevant Final Terms" or "applicable Final Terms" will be deemed
to include a reference to "Final Terms for Exempt Securities", "relevant Final Terms for Exempt Securities"
or "applicable Final Terms for Exempt Securities" in relation to Exempt Securities, to the extent applicable.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Final Terms for Exempt Securities does not constitute "final terms" as such
term is used under the Prospectus Regulation.
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 issue
date, certain specific information (specifically, the issue price, fixed rate of interest, minimum and/or
maximum rate of interest payable, the margin applied to the floating rate of interest payable, the gearing
applied to the interest or final payout, the Gearing Up applied to the final payout, (in the case of Autocall
Securities, Autocall One Touch Securities or Autocall Standard Securities) the FR Rate component of the final
payout (which will be payable if certain conditions are met, as set out in the Payout Conditions), (in the case

Conditions), the Floor Percentage component of the final payout or coupon rate and/or the Knock-in Level,
Knock-out Level, Knock-in Range Level, Knock-out Range Level, Knock-in Bottom Level, Knock-in Top
Level, Knock-out Bottom Level and/or Knock-out Top Level (used to ascertain whether a Knock-in Event or
Knock-out Event, as applicable, has occurred)) may not be known. In these circumstances, the Final Terms
will 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 English Law
Secured Note Guarantee") or (ii) a garantie in respect of Secured Securities, which are French Law Securities

Guarantee, the "BNPP Secured Note Guarantees"), the forms of which are set out herein or (b) in respect of
the unsecured Securities, (i) a Deed of Guarantee for Unsecured Securities, in respect of English Law Securities
(the "BNPP English Law Unsecured Note Guarantee") or (ii) a garantie, in respect of Unsecured Securities,

the BNPP English Law Unsecured Note Guarantee, the "BNPP Unsecured Note Guarantees"), the forms of
which are set out herein. The BNPP Secured Note Guarantees and the BNPP Unsecured Note Guarantees
together, the "BNPP Guarantees".
Securities issued by BP2F may be unsecured only and will be guaranteed by BNP Paribas Fortis SA/NV
("BNPPF" and, in such capacity, the "BNPPF Guarantor") pursuant to a Deed of Guarantee (the "BNPPF

3

Guarantee"), the form of which is set out herein. The BNPP Guarantees and the BNPPF Guarantee, together
the "Guarantees".
The BNPP Guarantor and the BNPPF Guarantor, are together the "Guarantors" and each a "Guarantor".
Each of BNPP B.V., BNPP and BP2F has a right of substitution as set out herein. In the event that BNPP B.V.,
BNPP or BP2F exercises its right of substitution, a supplement to the Base Prospectus will be published on
the website of the AMF (www.amf-france.org) and on the website of BNPP (https://rates-
globalmarkets.bnpparibas.com/gmdocuments/legaldocs/resourceindex.htm).
Each issue of Securities will entitle the holder thereof on the Instalment Date(s) and/or the Maturity Date 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.
Other than in relation to the documents which are deemed to be incorporated by reference (see "Documents
Incorporated by Reference" below), the information on the websites to which this Base Prospectus refers does
not form part of this Base Prospectus unless that information is incorporated by reference into the Base
Prospectus and has not been scrutinised or approved by the AMF.
Capitalised terms used in this Base Prospectus shall, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in
the Conditions.
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
are complex financial instruments and involve a high degree of risk and potential investors should be
prepared to sustain a total loss of the purchase price of their Securities. There are significant risks
associated with holding Securities, including risks in relation to the circumstances in which Securities
(other than Secured Securities) may be written down or converted to ordinary shares and the
implications on prospective purchasers of Securities (such as a substantial loss). The circumstances in
which such prospective purchasers may suffer loss as a result of holding Securities are difficult to predict
and the quantum of any loss incurred by investors in such circumstances is also highly uncertain. For
more information, see "Risks" on pages 26 to 86.
Unless otherwise permitted under the securities laws of Hong Kong, the Securities should only be offered
or sold to investors in Hong Kong in the primary or secondary markets if they are professional investors
(as such term is defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571, Laws of Hong Kong) and
its subsidiary legislation, "Professional Investors") and understand the risks involved.
In particular, the Securities and the Guarantees and, in the case of Physical Delivery Securities (as
defined below), the Entitlement (as defined herein) to be delivered upon the redemption of such
Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act") or any other applicable state securities laws and trading in the Securities
has not been approved by the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC")
under the United States Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the "Commodity Exchange Act").
None of the Issuers has registered as an investment company pursuant to the United States Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"). The Securities are being offered
and sold in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act ("Regulation S") and, until the expiry 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,
directly or indirectly, in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, persons that are a "U.S.
person" as defined in Regulation S except in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act or
pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the
Securities Act.
Neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor any other applicable state
securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy of this
prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence.
The Securities to the extent they constitute "Secured Securities" may not be sold to, or for the account
or benefit of, U.S. persons as defined in the U.S. Risk Retention Rules ("Risk Retention U.S. Persons")
except to the extent such Risk Retention U.S. Persons have received a waiver from the applicable sponsor
and except as permitted under an exemption to the U.S. Risk Retention Rules as described under

4

"Risks" on page 85 and "Offering and Sale" on page 1351. "U.S. Risk Retention Rules" means
Regulation RR (17 C.F.R Part 246) implementing the risk retention requirements of Section 15G of the
U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Issuers have requested the AMF, in accordance with Article 25(1) of the Prospectus Regulation, to provide
the competent authorities in Belgium, Bulgaria, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Romania and
Spain with a certificate of approval attesting that the Base Prospectus has been drawn up in accordance with
the Prospectus Regulation.

the list of credit rating agencies published by the European Securities and Markets Authority on its website (at
https://www.esma.europa.eu/supervision/credit-rating-agencies/risk) in accordance with the CRA Regulation.
Moody's is established in the United Kingdom and is registered in accordance with Regulation (EC) No.
1060/2009 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "UK
CRA Regulation"). Moody's is included in the list of credit rating agencies published by the Financial Conduct
Authority on its website (https://register.fca.org.uk) in accordance with the UK CRA Regulation. None of
Standard & Poor's, Fitch or DBRS Morningstar are established in the United Kingdom and have not applied
for registration under the UK CRA Regulation. To the extent that the ratings issued by Standard & Poor's,
Fitch and DBRS Morningstar have been endorsed by a credit rating agency that is established in the United
Kingdom and registered under the UK CRA Regulation, the ratings issued by Standard & Poor's, Fitch and
DBRS Morningstar may be used for regulatory purposes in the United Kingdom in accordance with the UK
CRA Regulation. Securities issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated. A security rating is not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at
any time by the assigning rating agency.

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

Bahrain where such investors make a minimum investment of at least U.S.$ 100,000 or any equivalent amount

Guidance under the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (the "HKMA") circular - In October 2018, the
HKMA issued a circular regarding enhanced investor protection measures on the sale and distribution of debt
instruments with loss-absorption features and related products (the "HKMA Circular"). Under the HKMA
Circular, debt instruments with loss-absorption features, being subject to the possibility of being written-down
or converted to ordinary shares, and investment products that invest mainly in, or whose returns are closely
linked to the performance of such instruments (together, "Loss-Absorption Products"), may only be offered
to professional investors (as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571, Laws of Hong Kong)
and its subsidiary legislation, "Professional Investors") in Hong Kong. Unless otherwise specified in the
applicable Final Terms in respect of any Securities, all Securities (other than Secured Securities) issued or to
be issued under the Programme may contain loss-absorption features and may be considered Loss-Absorption
Products under the HKMA Circular. Investors in Hong Kong should not purchase Securities with loss-
absorption features unless they are Professional Investors and understand the risks involved. Such

Securities are generally not suitable for retail investors in Hong Kong in either the primary or the
secondary markets.
IMPORTANT EEA AND UK RETAIL INVESTORS If the Final Terms in respect of any Securities
specifies the "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors" and/or "Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail
Investors" 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 (i) the EEA, unless a key
information document will be made available (if required) in the EEA jurisdiction(s) in which the Securities
are offered, sold or otherwise made available to such retail investor(s) and/or, as applicable, (ii) the United
Kingdom (the "UK"), unless a key information document will be made available (if required) in the UK. If the
Final Terms in respect of any Securities specifies the "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors" and/or
"Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors" as not applicable, the Securities may be offered, sold or otherwise
made available to any retail investor in the EEA and/or in the UK, provided that, where a key information
document is required pursuant to the PRIIPs Regulation or the UK PRIIPs Regulation (each as defined below)
as the case may be, the Securities may only be offered, sold or otherwise made available to retail investors in
(i) the EEA in the jurisdiction(s) for which a key information document will be made available and/or, as
applicable, (ii) in the UK if a key information document will be made available in the UK. For these purposes,
a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of:
(a)
in the case of retail investors in the EEA:
(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 (EU) 2016/97 (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; or
(iii)
not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation; or
(b)
in the case of retail investors in the UK:
(i)
a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms
part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA");
(ii)
a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act
2000 ("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; or
(iii)
not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part
of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA.
Consequently, no key information document required by:
(a)
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; and
(b)
Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK
PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to retail

7

investors in the UK has been prepared, and therefore, offering or selling the Securities or otherwise
making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs
Regulation.
EU BENCHMARKS REGULATION
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,
as amended (the "EU 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 EU Benchmarks Regulation. Certain "benchmarks" may either (i) not
fall within the scope of the EU Benchmarks Regulation by virtue of Article 2 or (ii) transitional provisions in
Article 51 of the EU Benchmarks Regulation may apply to certain other "benchmarks", which would otherwise
be in scope, such that at the date of the applicable Final Terms, the administrator of the "benchmark" is not
