3 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 Participation Rate the percentage of the positive Index Performance that is payable on the Maturity Date 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 and on which the Participation Rate is determined. 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. 3

4 PRODUCT AT A GLANCE A quick overview The Multi-Asset Diversified Global Certificate 11 (the Certificate) is a five year Certificate issued by BNP Issuance B.V. (the Issuer) and guaranteed by BNP Paribas (the Guarantor).

At maturity: 1. Repayment of the Initial Investment irrespective of the performance of the Index; 2. If the Index closes above the Initial Index Level, payment of an amount equal to at least 110% (the Participation Rate) of the growth in the Index from the Start Date to the Final Valuation Date (the Index Performance). The Participation Rate will be fixed on the Start Date and will not be less than 110%. 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.

5 THE INDEX A summary of the methodology of the BNP Paribas Multi-Asset Diversified vol 8 USD FX Hedged Future Index 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, 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. * The Custom Equity and Commodity Indices activity of BNP Paribas Global Markets has been attested in accordance with SOC1 / ISAE 3402 standard as of 31-Mar Index Components and Weights Assets Minimum possible target weight in Index Maximum possible target weight in Index Actual weight in Index at end of December 2017 Equity Europe -50% 50% 3% Equity US -50% 50% 33% Equity Japan -50% 50% 20% Equity China -10% 10% 9% Equity Emerging Markets -5% 5% 0% Gov.
