EXPENSES OF THE ISSUE
NIB estimates the expenses of the issue to be Euro 100,000.
SELLING RESTRICTIONS
Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors
Each of the underwriters has represented and agreed that it has not offered, sold or otherwise
made available and will not offer, sell or otherwise make available any Notes to any retail investor in the
European Economic Area. For the purposes of this provision:
(a)
the expression "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of the following:
(i)
a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as
amended, "MiFID II"); or
(ii)
a customer within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC (as amended, 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 Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, the
"Prospectus Directive");and
(b)
the expression "offer" includes the communication in any form and by any means of
sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable
an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the Notes.
MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE
MIFID II Product Governance / Professional Investors And Eligible Counterparties Only Target
Market
Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market
assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is
eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as
amended, "MiFID II"); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and
professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the
Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers' 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 manufacturers' target market assessment) and
determining appropriate distribution channels.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression "manufacturer" means any underwriter that is a
manufacturer under MiFID II.
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 10, 2015, April 25, 2017 and December 11, 2017,
authorized the issuance of the Notes and related matters.
P-6

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.
NIB is not involved in any litigation or arbitration proceedings relating to claims or amounts
which are material in the context of the issuance of the Notes nor, so far as NIB is aware, is any such
litigation or arbitration pending or threatened. Except as disclosed in this pricing supplement, the
prospectus supplement and the prospectus and the documents considered part of them, there has been no
material adverse change in the financial position or prospects of NIB since December 31, 2016.
UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
For a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase,
ownership and disposition of the Notes, please see "United States Taxation" on page 11 of the
accompanying Prospectus.
P-7

U.S. holders that use an accrual method of accounting for tax purposes ("accrual method
holders") generally are required to include certain amounts in income no later than the time such amounts
are reflected on certain financial statements (the "book/tax conformity rule"). The application of the
book/tax conformity rule thus may require the accrual of income earlier than would be the case under the
general tax rules described in the prospectus supplement, although it is not clear to what types of income
the book/tax conformity rule applies. This rule generally is effective for tax years beginning after
December 31, 2017 or, for notes issued with original issue discount, for tax years beginning after
December 31, 2018. Accrual method holders should consult with their tax advisors regarding the potential
applicability of the book/tax conformity rule to their particular situation.
The book/tax conformity rule applies to original issue discount ("OID") in some cases, and
therefore may require accrual method holders to include OID on OID notes in a more accelerated manner
than described in "United States Taxation--Original Issue Discount" in the Prospectus if they do so for
financial accounting purposes. It is uncertain what adjustments, if any, should be made in later accrual
periods when taxable income exceeds income reflected on the U.S. holder's financial statements to reflect
the accelerated accrual of income in earlier periods. In addition, it is possible, although less likely, that
accrual method holders may be required to include de minimis OID in gross income as the de minimis
OID accrues on their financial statements.
The application of the book/tax conformity rule to OID and de minimis OID is uncertain, and
accrual method taxpayers should consult with their tax advisors on how the rule may apply to their
investment in notes. Under the book/tax conformity rule, an accrual method holder that has made the
election described in the second paragraph of "United States Taxation--Market Discount" in the
prospectus supplement may be required to accrue market discount in a more accelerated manner than
described therein if the holder does so for financial accounting purposes. It is also possible, although less
likely, that accrual method holders that have not made the election described above and that accrue
market discount on a current basis on their financial statements may be required to accrue market discount
including de minimis market discount currently for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The application
of the book/tax conformity rule to notes with market discount is uncertain, and accrual method taxpayers
should consult with their tax advisors on how the rule may apply to their investment in notes.
