Offering documents

The Offering Documents posted on this website constitute an offering document library (the "Library"). The Library consists of two sections: a Non-Restricted Library intended for all visitors regardless of their place of residence and a Restricted Library intended for visitors with residence within the territory of a Member State of the European Union.

Although visitors to this website have access to both the Restricted and Non-Restricted Library, the publication and use of Offering Documents posted in each of these sub-libraries are subject to different sets of rules and visitors to this website are requested to carefully read and comply with these rules.

The Offering Documents for debt programmes posted in the Restricted Library contain financial and business information on BNP Paribas Fortis and/or its issuing entities that might have become outdated. No guarantee or representation is given by BNP Paribas Fortis or any of its affiliated companies on the correctness or completeness of this information.

Restricted library

This Restricted Library is aimed exclusively at investors with residence within the territory of a Member State of the European Union and is not meant to be viewed by any other investors.

Offering Documents posted in this Restricted Library are published in reliance on article 14 of Directive 2003/71/EEC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 November 2003.

The Offering Documents in this Restricted Library relate to securities that have not yet been fully offered, sold and delivered or to ongoing offering programmes pursuant to which new securities may be issued within a period of 12 months as from the date of the Offering Document.

The inclusion of the Offering Documents in this Restricted Library does not constitute, nor should it be deemed to constitute, an offer of securities in the United States or in any other country where publication of these Offering Documents or any such offers may violate applicable securities laws and regulations. None of the Offering Documents in this Restricted Library should be deemed distributed in the United States or in any other country where such distribution is illegal.

Other than within the territory of the Member States of the European Union, no action has been or will be taken in any country or jurisdiction that would permit a public offering of the securities referred to in the Offering Documents posted in this Restricted Library, or possession or distribution of such Offering Documents, in any country or jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required.

None of the securities referred to in Offering Documents in this Restricted Library have been or will be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and they may not be offered, sold or delivered in the United States unless they have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption from the registration requirements of such Act is available.

Investors with residence outside the territory of a Member State of the European Union who have access to or consult any Offering Documents posted in this Restricted Library should refrain from any action in respect of the securities referred to in such Offering Documents and are otherwise required to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in their country of residence. Both the issuer(s) and the banks acting on their behalf will refuse to offer, sell or deliver any securities referred to in this Restricted Library to, and to deal with any request relating to securities referred to in any Offering Documents posted in this Restricted Library coming from, an investor with residence outside the territory of the European Union.

This Non-Restricted Library is aimed at the general investor public. All Offering Documents posted in this Non-Restricted Library relate to securities which have been previously offered, sold and delivered. All of the securities referred to in this Non-Restricted Library have been sold. The inclusion of the Offering Documents in this Non-Restricted Library does not constitute an offer of securities in the United States or in any other country.

The Offering Documents posted in this Non-Restricted Library contain extracts from the originally published Offering Documents only, and relate specifically to the terms and conditions governing the relevant securities.
