and

Element Title
B.1 Legal and
commercial
name of the
Issuer
BNP Paribas ("BNPP" or the "Bank" or the "Issuer").
B.2 Domicile/ legal
form/ legislation/
country of
incorporation
The Issuer was incorporated in France as a société anonyme under French
law and licensed as a bank, having its head office at 16, boulevard des
Italiens - 75009 Paris, France.
B.4b Trend
information
Macroeconomic Conditions: The Bank's results of operations are
affected by the macroeconomic and market environment. Given the nature
of its business, the Bank is particularly susceptible to macroeconomic and
market conditions in Europe, which have experienced disruptions in recent
years.
While global economic conditions generally improved over the course of
2012, growth prospects diverge for advanced and developing economies in
2013 and going forward. In the Euro-zone, sovereign spreads came down
in 2012 from historically high levels, although uncertainty remains over the
solvability of certain sovereigns and the extent to which E.U. member
states are willing to provide additional financing.
Legislation and Regulations Applicable to Financial Institutions: The
Bank is affected by legislation and regulations applicable to global financial
institutions, which are undergoing significant change in the wake of the
global financial crisis. New measures that have been proposed and
adopted include more stringent capital and liquidity requirements, taxes on
financial transactions, restrictions and taxes on employee compensation,
limits on commercial banking activities, restrictions of types of financial
products, increased internal control and transparency requirements, more
stringent business conduct rules, mandatory reporting and clearing of
derivative transactions, requirements to mitigate risks relating to OTC
derivatives and the creation of new and strengthened regulatory bodies.
New or proposed measures that affect or will affect the Bank include the
Basel 3 and CRD4 prudential frameworks, the related requirements
announced by the EBA, the designation of the Bank as a systemically
important financial institution by the FSB, the French banking law, the E.U.
Liikanen proposal and the Federal Reserve's proposed framework for the
regulation of foreign banks.
B.5 Description of
the Group
BNPP is a European leading provider of banking and financial services and
has four domestic retail banking markets in Europe, namely in Belgium,
France, Italy and Luxembourg. It is present in 78 countries and has almost
190,000 employees, including over 145,000 in Europe. BNPP is the parent
company of the BNP Paribas Group (the "BNPP Group").

Section D - Risks

Element Title
D.2 Key risks
regarding the
There are certain factors that may affect the Issuer's ability to fulfil its
obligations under the Notes issued under the Programme.
Issuer Twelve main categories of risk are inherent in BNPP's activities:
1. Credit Risk;
2. Counterparty Risk:
3. Securitisation;
4. Market Risk;
5. Operational Risk;
6. Compliance and Reputation Risk;
7. Concentration Risk;
8. Asset-liability management Risk;
9.
Breakeven Risk;
10.
Strategy Risk;
11.
Liquidity and refinancing Risk;
12.
Insurance subscription Risk.
Difficult market and economic conditions could have a material adverse
effect on the operating environment for financial institutions and hence on
BNPP's financial condition, results of operations and cost of risk.
Legislative action and regulatory measures taken in response to the global
financial crisis may materially impact BNPP and the financial and
economic environment in which it operates.
BNPP's access to and cost of funding could be adversely affected by a
resurgence of the Euro-zone sovereign debt crisis, worsening economic
conditions, further rating downgrades or other factors.
A substantial increase in new provisions or a shortfall in the level of
previously recorded provisions could adversely affect BNPP's results of

D.3 Key risks
regarding the
Notes
In addition to the risks relating to the Issuer (including the default risk) that
may affect the Issuer's ability to fulfil its obligations under the Notes, there
are certain factors which are material for the purposes of assessing the
market risks associated with Notes issued under the Programme, including
that the Notes are unsecured obligations, the trading market for Notes may
be volatile and may be adversely impacted by many events, an active
secondary market may never be established or may be illiquid and that this
may adversely affect the value at which an investor may sell its Notes,
investors may suffer a partial or total loss of the amount of their
investment, the Notes may have a minimum trading amount and if,
following the transfer of any Notes, a Noteholder holds fewer Notes than
the specified minimum trading amount, such Noteholder will not be
permitted to transfer their remaining Notes prior to redemption without first
purchasing enough additional Notes in order to hold the minimum trading
amount, the Notes may be redeemed in the case of illegality or
impracticability and such cancellation or redemption may result in an
investor not realising a return on an investment in the Notes, the meetings
of Holders provisions permit defined majorities to bind all Holders, any
judicial decision or change to an administrative practice or change to
English law or French law, as applicable, after the date of the Base
Prospectus could materially adversely impact the value of any Notes
affected by it, a reduction in the rating, if any, accorded to outstanding debt
securities of the Issuer by a credit rating agency could result in a reduction
in the trading value of the Notes, certain conflicts of interest may arise (see
Element E.4 below).
D.6 Risk warning In the event of the insolvency of the Issuer or if it is otherwise unable or
unwilling to repay the Notes when repayment falls due, an investor may
lose all or part of his investment in the Notes.
