FINAL TERMS

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA AND UK 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 or in the United Kingdom ("UK"). 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 (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. 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 or in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or in the UK 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 Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturer/s' 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.

Ratings: The Notes have not been rated.

3. Interests of Natural and Legal Persons Involved in the Offer

Save for the fees payable to the Dealers so far as the Issuer is aware, no person involved in the offer of the Notes has an interest material to the offer.

4. Reasons for the Offer, Estimated Net Proceeds and Total Expenses

(i) Reasons for the offer: The net proceeds of the issue of the Securities will be allocated or reallocated from time to time to the financing and/or refinancing, in whole or in part, of Eligible Green Assets as defined below and further described in the BNP Paribas Green Bond Framework dated 30/09/2020 available on https://invest.bnpparibas.com/en/debts/seniorunsecured-green-bond-issues/green-bondsframework, as may be amended from time to time by the Issuer (the "BNP Paribas Green Bond Framework").

Pending the allocation or reallocation, as the case may be, of the net proceeds of the Securities to Eligible Green Assets, the Issuer will invest the balance of the net proceeds, at its own discretion, in cash and/or cash equivalent and/or other liquid marketable instruments. The Issuer will use its best efforts to substitute any redeemed loans, any other form of financing that is no longer financed or refinanced by the net proceeds and/or any such loans or any other form of financing which cease to be Eligible Green Assets, as soon as practicable once an appropriate substitution option has been identified. The Issuer will monitor the use of the net proceeds of the Securities via its internal information systems.

For the avoidance of doubt, payment of principal and interest in respect of the Securities will be made from general funds of the Issuer and will not be directly or indirectly linked to the performance of Eligible Green Assets.

Eligible Green Assets means any existing, ongoing and/or future loans or any other form of financing from Eligible Sectors selected by the Issuer, which meet the Eligibility Criteria, all in accordance with the BNP Paribas Green Bond Framework.

Eligible Sectors means the following sectors (all as more fully described in the BNP Paribas Green Bond Framework):

  • Renewable Energies
  • Energy Efficiency
  • Mass and Public Transportation
  • Water Management and Water Treatment

• Recycling

For the avoidance of doubt, the following sectors are excluded from the BNP Paribas Green Bond Framework: defence and security, palm oil, wood pulp, nuclear power generation, coal-fired power generation, unconventional oil and gas, mining and tobacco.

Eligibility Criteria means the criteria with which any loan or any other form of financing should comply, at any time, in order to be considered as an Eligible Green Asset (as such criteria may be amended, from time to time, by the Issuer, subject to external review by third parties, as the case may be, as per the BNP Paribas Green Bond Framework). As part of the application of the Eligibility Criteria, the Issuer will assess the potential environmental, social and governance risks of the relevant assets, in line with its framework for managing such risks, including specific risk assessment tools and the Equator Principles. The selection of the Eligible Green Assets in accordance with the Eligibility Criteria will then be verified by external third parties, as per the BNP Paribas Green Bond Framework.

As long as any Securities are outstanding, the Issuer is expected to provide a report, at least annually, on (i) the Eligible Green Assets financed or refinanced by the net proceeds and their relevant environmental impact indicators,(ii) the allocation of the net proceeds of the Securities to Eligible Green Assets detailing the aggregate amount dedicated to each of the Eligible Sectors and (iii) the balance of unallocated cash and/or cash equivalent and/or other liquid marketable instruments still held by the Issuer, as further described in the BNP Paribas Green Bond Framework. The report will be published by the Issuer on https://invest.bnpparibas.com/en/green-bondissues.

Pursuant to the BNP Paribas Green Bond Framework a second party opinion has been obtained from an appropriate second party opinion provider and the Issuer has mandated an appropriate external independent auditor to provide an assurance report. The opinion and assurance report are available on https://invest.bnpparibas.com/en/green-bondissues.
