and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised by BNPP
B.V., BNPP, BP2F, BNPPF, BGL or any manager of an issue of Securities, including BNPP Securities Corp. (as
applicable to such issue of Securities, each a "Manager"). This document does not constitute, and may not be used for
the purposes of, an offer or solicitation by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorised
or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation and no action is being taken to permit an
offering of the Securities or the distribution of this document in any jurisdiction where any such action is required.
This document is to be read and construed in conjunction with all documents which are deemed to be incorporated
herein by reference (see "Documents Incorporated by Reference" below).
Warrants create options exercisable by the relevant holder or which will be automatically exercised as provided herein.
There is no obligation on the relevant Issuer to pay any amount or deliver any asset to any holder of a Warrant unless
the relevant holder duly exercises such Warrant or such Warrants are automatically exercised and, where applicable, an
Exercise Notice is duly delivered. The Warrants will be exercisable in the manner set forth herein and in the applicable
Final Terms. In certain instances, the holder of a Warrant will be required to certify, inter alia (in accordance with the
provisions outlined in Condition 25 of "Terms and Conditions of the W&C Securities" below), that it is not (i) a "U.S.
person" as defined in Regulation S under the United States Securities Act, as amended (the "Securities Act")
("Regulation S"); or (ii) a person other than a "Non-United States person" as defined in Rule 4.7 under the United
States Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the "Commodity Exchange Act"); or (iii) a "U.S. person" as defined in
the Interpretive Guidance and Policy Statement Regarding Compliance with Certain Swap Regulations promulgated by
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC"); or (iv) any other "U.S. person" as such term may be
defined in Regulation S or in regulations or guidance adopted under the Commodity Exchange Act (each such person, a
"U.S. person") or exercising such Warrant on behalf of a U.S. person. Upon transfer, exchange or exercise of a U.S.
Warrant (as defined above), the holder will, in certain circumstances, be required to certify that the transfer, exchange
or exercise, as the case may be, is being made to, or on behalf of, a person whom the holder reasonably believes is not a
U.S. person or, in the case of U.S. Warrants issued by BNPP, is a QIB or an AI, and in the case of U.S. Warrants issued
by BNPP B.V., is a QIB who is also a QP, as applicable, who acquired the right to such transfer, exchange or the
benefit of such exercise in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The proposed
transferee may also be required to deliver an investment letter as a condition precedent to such proposed transfer or
exchange (in accordance with the provisions outlined in Condition 2.4 of "Terms and Conditions of the W&C
Securities" below).
Notes and Certificates shall be redeemed on each instalment date and/or the maturity date (in the case of Notes) or the
redemption date (in the case of Certificates) by payment of one or more Instalment Amount or Final Redemption
Amount (in the case of Notes), Cash Settlement Amount(s) (in the case of Cash Settled Certificates or Cash Settled

7

Warrants) and/or by delivery of the Entitlement (in the case of Physically Settled Certificates, Physically Settled
Warrants or physically settled Notes). In order to receive the Entitlement, the holder of a Security will be required to
submit an Asset Transfer Notice and in certain circumstances to certify, inter alia (in accordance with the provisions
outlined in Condition 35.2(a) of "Terms and Conditions of the W&C Securities" in the case of Certificates or Condition
4(b) of "Terms and Conditions of the Notes" in the case of Notes), that it is not a U.S. person or acting on behalf of a
U.S. person. Upon transfer or exchange of a U.S. Certificate, the holder will, in certain circumstances, be required to
certify that the transfer or exchange, as the case may be, is being made to a person whom the transferor or exchange or
reasonably believes is not a U.S. person or, in the case of U.S. Certificates issued by BNPP, is a QIB or an AI, and in
the case of U.S. Certificates issued by BNPP B.V., is a QIB who is also a QP, as applicable, who acquired the right to
such transfer or exchange in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The
proposed transferee may also be required to deliver an investment letter as a condition precedent to such proposed
transfer or exchange (in accordance with the provisions outlined in Condition 2.4 of "Terms and Conditions of the W&C
Securities". Where Certificates are Exercisable Certificates, such Certificates will be automatically exercised on one or
more dates as provided herein. Exercisable Certificates are Cash Settled Certificates.
The Securities of each issue may be sold by the relevant Issuer and/or any Manager at such time and at such prices as
the Issuer and/or the Manager(s) may select. There is no obligation upon the relevant Issuer or any Manager to sell all
of the Securities of any issue. The Securities of any issue may be offered or sold from time to time in one or more
transactions in the over-the-counter market or otherwise at prevailing market prices or in negotiated transactions, at the
discretion of the relevant Issuer.

BNPP B.V., BNPP, BP2F, BNPPF, BGL or any Manager that any recipient of this Base Prospectus or any other
information supplied in connection with the Programme or any Securities should purchase any Securities. Each
investor contemplating purchasing any Securities should make its own independent investigation of the financial
condition and affairs, and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness, of BNPP B.V., BNPP, BP2F, BNPPF and/or BGL.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION RELATING TO NON-EXEMPT OFFERS OF SECURITIES
Restrictions on Non-exempt offers of Securities in relevant Member States
Certain issues of Securities with a denomination (or in the case of W&C Securities, issue price or Notional Amount, as
applicable) of less than 100,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency) may be offered in circumstances where there
is no exemption from the obligation under the Prospectus Directive to publish a prospectus. Any such offer is referred
to as a "Non-exempt Offer". This Base Prospectus has been prepared on a basis that permits Non-exempt Offers of
Securities in each Member State in relation to which the relevant Issuer has given its consent as specified in the
applicable Final Terms (each specified Member State a "Non-exempt Offer Jurisdiction" and together the "Non
exempt Offer Jurisdictions"). Any person making or intending to make a Non-exempt Offer of Securities on the basis
of this Base Prospectus must do so only with the relevant Issuer's consent to the use of this Base Prospectus as provided
under "Consent given in accordance with Article 3.2 of the Prospectus Directive" and provided such person complies
with the conditions attached to that consent.
Save as provided above, neither BNPP B.V., BNPP, BP2F, BNPPF or BGL have authorised, nor do they authorise, the
making of any Non-exempt Offer of Securities in circumstances in which an obligation arises for any of BNPP B.V.,
BNPP, BP2F or BGL to publish or supplement a prospectus for such offer.
Consent given in accordance with Article 3.2 of the Prospectus Directive
In the context of a Non-exempt Offer of such Securities, BNPP B.V., BNPP, BP2F, BNPPF and BGL accept
responsibility, in each of the Non-exempt Offer Jurisdictions, for the content of this Base Prospectus in relation to any
person (an "Investor") who purchases any Securities in a Non-exempt Offer made by a Manager or an Authorised
Offeror (as defined below), where that offer is made during the Offer Period specified in the applicable Final Terms and
provided that the conditions attached to the giving of consent for the use of this Base Prospectus are complied with.
The consent and conditions attached to it are set out under "Consent" and "Common Conditions to Consent" below.
None of BNPP B.V., BNPP, BP2F, BNPPF or BGL makes any representation as to the compliance by an Authorised
Offeror with any applicable conduct of business rules or other applicable regulatory or securities law requirements in
relation to any Non-exempt Offer and none of BNPP B.V., BNPP, BP2F, BNPPF or BGL has any responsibility or
liability for the actions of that Authorised Offeror.
Except in the circumstances set out in the following paragraphs, neither BNPP B.V., BNPP, BP2F, BNPPF nor
BGL has authorised the making of any Non-exempt Offer by any offeror and BNPP B.V., BNPP, BP2F and BGL
have not consented to the use of this Base Prospectus by any other person in connection with any Non-exempt
Offer of Securities. Any Non-exempt Offer made without the consent of the relevant Issuer is unauthorised and
neither BNPP B.V., BNPP, BP2F, BNPPF nor BGL accepts any responsibility or liability in relation to such offer
or for the actions of the persons making any such unauthorised offer. If, in the context of a Non-exempt Offer, an
Investor is offered Securities by a person which is not an Authorised Offeror, the Investor should check with that person
whether anyone is responsible for this Base Prospectus for the purposes of the relevant Non-Exempt Offer and, if so,
who that person is. If the Investor is in any doubt about whether it can rely on this Base Prospectus and/or who is
responsible for its contents it should take legal advice.
