NOTICE OF ERROR IN THE FINAL TERMS dated 16 November 2018 of the EUR 500,000,000 Subordinated Fixed Rate Resettable Tier 2 Notes due November 2030 (ISIN: FR0013381704 – Common Code: 191163257)

On 20 November 2018, BNP Paribas issued EUR 500,000,000 Subordinated Fixed Rate Resettable Tier 2 Notes due November 2030 admitted to trading to Euronext Paris (ISIN: FR0013381704 – Common Code: 191163257) (the "Notes") under its Euro Medium Term Note Programme (Series number: 18939).

Notice is hereby given to Noteholders that, the rating given by DBRS appearing in "Part B – Other Information" of the Final Terms should be read as follows: "A by DBRS Ratings Ltd" instead of "A (high) by DBRS Limited".

The other provisions of the Final Terms remain unchanged.

Yours sincerely,

BNP PARIBAS

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS – The Notes 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. 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"); 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 the Prospectus Directive. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

MiFID II product governance / target market assessment – Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes, taking into account the five categories in item 18 of the Guidelines published by ESMA on 5 February 2018, has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution 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, subject to the distributor's suitability and appropriateness obligations under MiFID II, as applicable.
