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 18/11/2019 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.

(ii) Estimated net proceeds: EUR 50,000,000

Seniority of the securities

The Securities are unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank pari passu among themselves.

The exercise of any power under the Directive 2014/59/EU, as amended by Directive (EU) 2019/879 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 (the "Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive" or "BRRD") by the relevant resolution authority or any suggestion that such powers may be exercised could materially adversely affect the rights of the holders of Securities, the price or value of their investment in the Securities and/or the ability of the Issuer to satisfy its obligations under the Securities. As a result, holders of Securities may be subject to write-down or conversion into equity on any application of the general bail-in tool under BRRD which may result in holders losing all or a substantial part of their investment in the Securities.

Is there a guarantee attached to the securities?

Not Applicable

What are the key risks that are specific to the securities? Most material risk factors specific to the securities

There are also risks associated with the Securities, including:

1. Risks related to the structure of the securities:

The return on the Securities depends on the performance of the Underlying Reference(s) and whether knock-in or knock out features apply. Auto-callable Products include automatic early redemption mechanisms. Depending on the applicable formula, if an automatic early redemption event occurs investors may be exposed to a partial loss of their investment. Investors may be exposed to a partial or total loss of their investment.

2. Risks related to the underlying and its disruption and adjustments:

Unlike a direct investment in any Share(s), Stapled Share(s), GDR(s) and/or ADR(s) comprising the Underlying Reference(s) (together the "Share(s)"), an investment in Share Securities does not entitle Holders to vote or receive dividends or distributions (unless otherwise specified in the Final Terms). Accordingly, the return on Share Securities will not be the same as a direct investment in the relevant Share(s) and could be less than a direct investment. Exposure to shares, similar market risks to a direct investment in an equity, potential adjustment events or extraordinary events and market disruption or failure to open of an exchange may have an adverse effect on the value and liquidity of the Securities.

3. Risks related to the trading markets of the securities:

The trading price of the Securities may be affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, the relevant price, value or level of the Underlying Reference(s), the time remaining until the scheduled redemption date of the Securities, the actual or implied volatility associated with the Underlying Reference(s) and the correlation risk of the relevant Underlying Reference(s). The possibility that the value and trading price of the Securities will fluctuate (either positively or negatively) depends on a number of factors, which investors should consider carefully before purchasing or selling Securities.

4. Legal risks:

The terms of the Securities will contain provisions for calling meetings of holders of such Securities to consider matters affecting their interests generally. These provisions permit defined majorities to bind all holders, including holders who did not attend and vote at the relevant meeting and holders who voted in a manner contrary to the majority.

Why is this prospectus being produced?

Use and estimated net amount of the proceeds

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 18/11/2019 available on https://invest.bnpparibas.com/en/debts/seniorunsecured-green-bond-issues/green-bonds-framework, 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, on-going and/or future loans or any other form of financing from Eligible Categories selected by the Issuer, which meet the Eligibility Criteria, all in accordance with the BNP Paribas Green Bond Framework.

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

  • Renewable Energy
  • Energy Efficiency
  • Green Buildings
  • Transportation
  • Water Management and Water Treatment
  • Pollution prevention and control

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 Categories 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/greenbond-issues.

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-bond-issues

Estimated net proceeds: EUR 50,000,000

Underwriting agreement

No underwriting commitment is undertaken by the Offeror

Most material conflicts of interest pertaining to the offer or the admission to trading

The Manager and its affiliates may also have engaged, and may in the future engage, in investment banking and/or commercial banking transactions with, and may perform other services for, the Issuer and the Guarantor and their respective affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

Various entities within the BNPP Group (including the Issuer and Guarantor) and Affiliates undertake different roles in connection with the Securities, including Issuer of the Securities and Calculation Agent of the Securities and may also engage in trading activities (including hedging activities) relating to the Underlying and other instruments or derivative products based on or relating to the Underlying which may give rise to potential conflicts of interest.

BNP Paribas Arbitrage SNC, which acts as Manager and Calculation Agent is an Affiliate of the Issuer and the Guarantor and potential conflicts of interest may exist between it and holders of the Securities, including with respect to certain determinations and judgments that the Calculation Agent must make. The economic interests of the Issuer and of BNP Paribas Arbitrage SNC as Manager and Calculation Agent are potentially adverse to Holders interests as an investor in the Securities.

Other than as mentioned above, so far as the Issuer is aware, no person involved in the issue of the Securities has an interest material to the offer, including conflicting interests.

Ancienneté des titres

Les Titres constituent des obligations non assorties de sûretés et non subordonnées de l'Émetteur qui viennent au même rang entre eux.

L'exercice de tout pouvoir en vertu de la Directive 2014/59/UE, modifiée par la Directive (UE) 2019/879 du Parlement européen et du Conseil du 20 mai 2019 (la « Directive sur le redressement et la résolution des banques » ou « Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive, BRRD ») par l'autorité de résolution concernée ou toute suggestion que de tels pouvoirs pourraient être exercés pourrait affecter négativement de manière significative les droits des porteurs de titres, le prix ou la valeur de leur investissement dans les titres et/ou la capacité de l'Émetteur de remplir ses obligations découlant des Titres. Par conséquent, les porteurs de Titres peuvent être soumis à des dévaluations ou des conversations en participations en cas d'application de l'outil de résolution général prévu dans la BRRD, ce qui peut entraîner la perte de la totalité ou d'une partie importante de leur investissement dans les Titres pour les porteurs.

Restrictions de la libre négociation des titres
Il n'existe pas de restrictions de la libre négociation des Titres.

Admission à la Négociation

Existe-t-il une garantie attachée aux titres ?

Principaux facteurs de risque spécifiques aux titres

Il y a également les risques associés aux Titres, notamment :

1. Risque relatif à la structure des Titres :

Le rendement des Titres dépend de la performance du ou des Sous-Jacent(s) de Référence et de l'application des mécanismes de knock-in ou de knock out. Les Produits Auto-callable comprennent des mécanismes de remboursement anticipé automatique. En fonction de la formule applicable, si un événement de remboursement anticipé automatique se réalise, les investisseurs peuvent être exposés à une perte partielle de leur investissement. Les investisseurs peuvent être exposés à une perte partielle ou totale de leur investissement.

2. Risque relatif au sous-jacent et à ses perturbations et ajustements :

À la différence d'un investissement direct dans une ou des Actions, des Actions Composées, des GDR et/ou des ADR composant la ou les Références Sous-jacentes (collectivement la/les « Action(s) »), un investissement dans des Titres Actions ne donne pas droit aux Titulaires de voter ou de recevoir des dividendes ou des distributions (sauf stipulation contraire dans les Conditions Définitives). Par conséquent, le rendement des Titres Actions ne sera pas le même que celui d'un investissement direct dans la ou les Actions concernées et pourrait être inférieur à celui d'un investissement direct. L'exposition à des actions, à des risques de marché similaires à un investissement direct en actions, des cas d'ajustement potentiels ou des événements exceptionnels et un dérèglement du marché ou le défaut d'ouverture d'une bourse, qui peuvent avoir un effet défavorable sur la valeur et la liquidité des Titres.

3. Risque relatif aux marchés sur lesquels sont négociés les titres :

Le cours des Titres peut être affecté par un certain nombre de facteurs dont, notamment, le prix, la valeur ou le niveau de la ou des Références Sous-jacentes, le temps restant jusqu'à la date de remboursement prévue des Titres, la volatilité réelle ou implicite associée à la ou aux Références Sous-jacentes et le risque de corrélation de la ou des Références Sous-jacentes concernées. La possibilité que la valeur et le cours des Titres fluctuent (de manière positive comme négative) dépend d'un certain nombre de facteurs, que les investisseurs doivent examiner attentivement avant d'acheter ou de vendre des Titres.

4. Risques juridiques :

Les modalités des Titres contiendront des dispositions relatives à la convocation d'assemblées générales des titulaires de ces Titres, afin d'examiner des questions affectant leurs intérêts en général. Ces dispositions permettront à des majorités définies de lier tous les titulaires, y compris ceux qui n'auront pas assisté ni voté à l'assemblée concernée et ceux qui auront voté d'une manière contraire à celle de la majorité.

Pourquoi le présent prospectus est-il édité ?

Utilisation et montant net estimé des produits

Le produit net issu de l'émission des Titres sera ponctuellement alloué ou réalloué, en tout ou partie, au financement et/ou au refinancement d'Actifs Verts Éligibles, tels que définis ci-dessous et détaillés dans le cadre relatif aux obligations vertes, le « BNP Paribas Green Bond Framework », en date du 18/11/2019, qui est disponible sur https://invest.bnpparibas.com/en/debts/senior-unsecured-green-bond-issues/green-bonds-framework, celui-ci étant sujet à modifications ponctuelles de la part de l'Émetteur (le « BNP Paribas Green Bond Framework »).

En attendant l'allocation ou la réallocation, selon le cas, du produit net des Titres à des Actifs Verts Éligibles, l'Émetteur investira le solde du produit net, à son entière discrétion, en espèces et/ou équivalent et/ou dans d'autres instruments négociables liquides. L'Émetteur fera de son mieux pour substituer tout prêt remboursé, toute autre forme de financement qui n'est plus financé(é) ou refinancé(e) par le produit net et/ou tout prêt ou autre forme de financement qui cesse de constituer un Actif Vert Éligible, et ce dès que possible d'un point de vue pratique, une fois qu'une option de substitution appropriée aura été identifiée. L'Émetteur effectuera un suivi de l'utilisation du produit net des Titres par l'intermédiaire de ses systèmes internes d'information.

Afin de lever toute ambiguïté, le paiement du montant principal et des intérêts au titre des Titres sera effectué à partir des fonds généraux de l'Émetteur, et ne sera pas directement lié à la performance des Actifs Verts Éligibles.

Actifs Verts Éligibles désigne tout prêt ou toute autre forme de financement, en cours ou à venir, issu(e) des Catégories Éligibles sélectionnées par l'Émetteur, et qui remplit les Critères d'Éligibilité, l'ensemble étant conforme au BNP Paribas Green Bond Framework.

Catégories Éligibles désigne les catégories suivantes (elles sont toutes décrites plus en détail dans le BNP Paribas Green Bond Framework) :

  • Énergies Renouvelables
  • Efficacité Énergétique
  • Bâtiments Écologiques
  • Transports
  • Gestion de l'Eau et Traitement de l'Eau
  • Prévention et contrôle de la pollution

Afin de lever toute ambiguïté, les secteurs suivants sont exclus du BNP Paribas Green Bond Framework : la défense et la sécurité, l'huile de palme, la pâte de bois, la production d'électricité nucléaire, la production d'énergie au charbon, l'exploitation pétrolière et gazière non conventionnelle, l'exploitation minière et le tabac.

Critères d'Éligibilité désigne les critères que tout prêt ou toute autre forme de financement doit respecter, et ce à tout moment, afin d'être considéré(e) comme constituant un Actif Vert Éligible (ces critères peuvent ponctuellement faire l'objet de modifications de la part de l'Émetteur, sous réserve de l'examen externe effectué par des tiers, selon les cas, conformément au BNP Paribas Green Bond Framework). Dans le cadre de l'application des Critères d'Éligibilité, l'Émetteur évaluera les potentiels risques environnementaux, sociaux et en matière de gouvernance, selon le cadre qu'il utilise pour gérer ces risques, ce qui inclut des outils d'évaluation des risques et les Principes de l'Équateur. La sélection des Actifs Verts Éligibles conformément aux Critères d'Éligibilité sera ensuite vérifiée par des tiers externes, comme le prévoit le BNP Paribas Green Bond Framework.

Tant que les Titres sont en cours de vie, il est prévu que l'Émetteur fournisse au moins une fois par an un rapport sur (i) les Actifs Verts Éligibles financés ou refinancés avec le produit net et les indicateurs d'impact environnemental pertinents les concernant, (ii) l'allocation du produit net des Titres à des Actifs Verts Éligibles en détaillant le montant total dédié à chaque Secteur Éligible, et (iii) le solde des espèces et/ou équivalent et/ou les autres instruments négociables liquides encore détenu(s) par l'Émetteur, comme le décrit plus en détail le BNP Paribas Green Bond Framework. Le rapport sera publié par l'Émetteur sur https://invest.bnpparibas.com/en/greenbond-issues.

Conformément au BNP Paribas Green Bond Framework, la deuxième opinion a été obtenue auprès d'un prestataire qualifié pour donner une deuxième opinion, et l'Émetteur a mandaté un auditeur externe indépendant approprié pour fournir un rapport d'assurance. L'opinion et le rapport d'assurance sont disponibles sur https://invest.bnpparibas.com/en/green-bond-issues.

Principaux conflits d'intérêts liés à l'offre ou à l'admission à la négociation

Le Manager et ses filiales peuvent également avoir conclu, et pourraient dans le futur conclure des transactions en tant que banque d'investissement ou banque commerciale avec, et peuvent fournir des services à l'Émetteur et le Garant et leurs filiales respectives dans le cadre d'activités courantes.

Différentes entités au sein du groupe BNPP (y compris l'Émetteur et le Garant) et leurs Filiales assument différentes fonctions en lien avec les Titres, y compris Émetteur des Titres et Agent de Calcul des Titres et peuvent également se livrer à des activités de négociation (y compris des activités de couverture) relatives au Sous-Jacent et à d'autres instruments ou produits dérivés basés sur ou relatifs au Sous-Jacent qui peuvent entraîner de potentiels conflits d'intérêts.

BNP Paribas Arbitrage SNC, qui agit en tant que Manager et Agent de Calcul, est une Filiale de l'Émetteur et du Garant et de potentiels conflits d'intérêts peuvent exister entre cette entité et les porteurs de Titres, y compris concernant certaines décisions et certains jugements que l'Agent de Calcul doit prendre. Les intérêts économiques de l'Émetteur et de BNP Paribas Arbitrage SNC en tant que Manager et Agent de Calcul sont potentiellement défavorables aux intérêts des Porteurs en tant qu'investisseurs dans les Titres.

Exception faite de ce qui est mentionné ci-dessus, aucune personne intervenant dans l'émission des Titres ne détient, à la connaissance de l'Émetteur, un intérêt pouvant influer sensiblement sur l'offre, y compris des intérêts conflictuels.
