IMPORTANT TERMS Annualised Return - the return earned in a year after accounting

for the effects of compounding

Certificate – this investment is a Certificate. A Certificate is

effectively a loan from an investor who holds the Certificate to the

issuer of the Certificate (in this case BNP Paribas Issuance B.V). The

Issuer agrees to pay the investor a return, if applicable, as

described in the documentation of the Certificate. The exception

to this is if the Issuer and Guarantor default and are unable to

make these payments to the investor. In this case, the investor

could lose some or all of their investment in the Certificate.

Distribution Fee – the amount of the Initial Investment that is

payable to a third party. See page 9 for more information.

Final Index Level – the official closing level of the Index on the

Final Valuation Date

Final Valuation Date – the date on which the Final Index Level is

recorded. See page 9 for dates.

Guarantor – BNP Paribas

Index – the BNP Paribas Multi-Asset Diversified vol 8 USD FX

Hedged Future Index (Bloomberg Code: BNPID8UF Index)

Index Performance – the percentage change from the Initial

Index Level to the Final Index Level

Initial Index Level – the closing level of the Index on the Start

Date

Initial Investment – the total amount invested into this product

before deduction of the Distribution Fee

Issuer – BNP Paribas Issuance B.V.

Maturity Date – the date on which any proceeds that are due

from the investment are payable. See page 9 for dates.

Maximum Drawdown – a measure of the largest single drop from

top to bottom in the value of an asset for the period shown

Sharpe Ratio – a measure for calculating risk-adjusted return. It is

calculated as the average return earned per unit of volatility or

total risk. Comparatively, a higher Sharpe Ratio indicates a better

return is obtained for the same level of risk, or the same return is

obtained with a lower level of risk.

Start Date – the date on which the Initial Index Level is recorded.

See page 9 for dates.

Volatility – a measure of price movements, or of the amount by

which the level of an asset moves around its average level over a

set period of time. Volatility is an indicator of the level of risk of an

asset. High volatility equates to high risk.

The Multi-Asset Diversified Global Certificate 18 (the Certificate) is a five year Certificate issued by BNP

Issuance B.V. (the Issuer) and guaranteed by BNP Paribas (the Guarantor). It offers:

Exposure to the performance of the BNP Paribas Multi-Asset Diversified vol 8 USD FX Hedged Future Index

(the Index) - a broadly diversified index made up of a range of global assets, that benefits from an efficient

allocation methodology and daily risk management.

At maturity:

1. Repayment of the Initial Investment plus a fixed return of 5% on the Initial Investment, irrespective of the

performance of the Index;

2. If the Index closes above 105% of the Initial Index Level, payment of an amount equal to the growth in the

Index in excess of 5%, from the Start Date to the Final Valuation Date (the Index Performance).

There is a risk of partial or total loss of the Initial Investment and any potential payment due in the event of

bankruptcy or payment default by the Issuer and the Guarantor.

The Index is made up of underlying assets which give access to equity, commodity and government bond

markets, in a variety of geographical locations. It includes a total of ten, liquid, underlying assets.

The portion of the Index allocated to each asset is calculated based on the price trend for each asset (today’s

price compared to daily prices in the past year), volatility and correlation (how assets move in relation to each

other).

The portion of the index allocated to each asset is rebalanced daily, offering a highly reactive strategy in all

market conditions.

The sum of weights of the assets in the Index is not restricted to 100%, which means that through leveraging

and deleveraging a more efficient portfolio can be obtained.

The sum of all the weights of all assets must range from 0% to 300%, even if some individual weights are

negative. A negative weight indicates the Index will grow if the asset falls in value.

An additional risk control mechanism is applied to the Index in order to help limit the impact of extreme

market moves on returns. This is done by limiting exposure to the assets comprising the Index in volatile

markets, in order to keep volatility close to 8%.

The Index directly tracks the performance of the BNP Paribas Multi-Asset Diversified vol 8 EUR Future Index,

converted each day from EUR into USD. The Index can be composed of assets expressed in different currencies

and protection against the evolution of these currencies against the USD is embedded in the Index.

The performance of the Index is calculated after fees have been deducted. Fees include an annual 0.5%

adjustment factor deducted from the Index level, and the costs for re-balancing of the Index daily.

HOW IS THE INVESTMENT

RETURN CALCULATED?

On the Final Valuation Date, the Final Index Level is checked and compared to the Initial Index Level:

If the Final Index Level is at or below 105% of the Initial Index Level, the Initial Investment is repaid in full to

Certificate holders on the Maturity Date in addition to a fixed return of 5% on the Initial Investment;

Otherwise, if the Final Index Level is above 105% of the Initial Index Level, the Initial Investment plus an amount

equal to the Index Performance, is paid to Certificate holders on the Maturity Date.

RISKS OF INVESTING

Risk of partial or total loss of Initial Investment in the case of bankruptcy or payment default by the

Issuer and Guarantor.

Exiting the investment before the Maturity Date may result in a loss to the investor on their Initial

Investment. The value of the Certificate changes not only according to the performance of the Index,

but also according to other market parameters such as FX rates, interest rates and the credit

worthiness of the Issuer and Guarantor.

Certificates are not listed on any exchange. BNP Paribas may (but is under no obligation to) provide a

bid price, upon request, on the Certificates on a reasonable efforts basis subject to normal market

conditions.

Investors are not investing directly in the equities, bonds or commodities that make up the Index and

will not receive any dividends.

Tax treatment may change during the term of the investment, which may affect the tax treatment of

any return investors receive.

The Subscription Period may be shortened or the offer may be withdrawn if Old Mutual International

or BNP Paribas determine that the market conditions make a successful completion of the offer more

difficult. If an application to invest or monies are received after the Certificate is closed to

subscriptions, investors will be informed and their contribution will be returned to them.

those firms who are in scope of the MiFID II unbundling rules and have signed up to a BNP Paribas Global Markets Research package, or (ii) for

firms that are out of scope of the MiFID II unbundling rules and therefore are not required to pay for Research under MiFID II. Please note that it is

your firm's responsibility to ensure that you do not view or use any Research in this document if your firm has not signed up to a BNP Paribas

This document is CONFIDENTIAL AND FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY. This document does not constitute an offer or a solicitation to

engage in any trading strategy or to purchase or sell any financial instruments. Given its general nature, the information included in this document

does not contain all the elements that may be relevant for a recipient to make an informed decision in relation to any strategies or financial

products discussed herein.

The information contained in this document has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but BNP Paribas makes no representation,

express or implied, that such information, or any opinions based thereon and contained in this document, are accurate or complete. Other

financial institutions or persons may have different opinions or draw different conclusions from the same facts or ideas analysed in this document.

Any scenarios, assumptions, historical or simulated performances, indicative prices or examples of potential transactions or returns are included for

illustrative purposes only, and BNPP gives no assurance that any favourable scenarios described are likely to happen, nor that it is possible to trade

on the terms described herein or that any of the potential returns illustrated can be achieved. BNPP is further under no obligation to update or

keep current the information contained in this document.

BNPP has used historical information in order to provide an illustration of how certain parameters may have performed over a defined period. This

document also contains certain performance data based on back-testing, i.e., calculations of the hypothetical performance of a strategy, index or

asset as if it had actually existed during a defined period of time and may in certain circumstances contain simulated performance information

where the index or asset described has recently been established or issued. The scenarios, simulations, development expectations and forecasts

contained in this document are for illustrative purposes only. This type of information has inherent limitations which you must consider carefully.

While the information has been prepared in good faith in accordance with BNPP's own internal models and other relevant sources, an analysis

based on different models or assumptions may yield different results. Therefore, this analysis may vary significantly from an analysis obtained from

other sources or market participants. Further, please note that such analysis is based on a number of working assumptions that may not be

capable of duplication in actual trading terms. Unlike actual performance records, hypothetical or simulated performances, returns or scenarios

may not necessarily reflect certain market factors such as liquidity constraints, fees and transaction costs. Actual historical or backtested past

performance and forecasts are not reliable indicators of future performance.

This document contains only a summary description of the main features of certain Notes, Warrants or Certificates (the “Securities”). A proposed

investment in the Securities cannot be fully assessed without full knowledge and understanding of the relevant Final Terms and the Terms and

Conditions contained in the relevant Base Prospectus for such Securities (as supplemented from time to time), which is publicly available on the

website of the Autorité des marchés financiers (the "AMF") in France (www.amf-france.org). A proposed investment in the Securities cannot be fully

assessed without full knowledge and understanding of the relevant Final Terms and the Terms and Conditions contained in the relevant Base

Prospectus for such Securities (as supplemented from time to time), which is available from BNPP. In particular, potential investors should carefully

read the section headed “Risk Factors” for a full description of the potential risks associated with the Securities and the section entitled “Offering and

Sale” for certain limitations on the purchase and onward sales of the Securities.

The Securities are structured to provide capital protection at maturity. This applies to the nominal value of the Securities only, providing the

Securities are held until maturity. If the Securities are not held until maturity then this protection does not apply, and investors should be aware that

there is risk of partial or total loss of the invested capital.

Capital protection is designed to protect the investor from certain market risks, but not counterparty risk. The investor is still exposed to the risk of

counterparties entering insolvency or defaulting on their obligations. Capital protection is provided by BNP Paribas Issuance BV (“IBV”), as issuer of

the Securities. As IBV’s payment obligations under the Securities are guaranteed by BNPP, an investment in the Securities is subject to the credit risk

of the BNPP Group.
