BNP PARIBAS STATEMENT
ON SUDAN LITIGATION



PRESS RELEASE
Paris, 20 October 2025


BNP Paribas has very clearly stated its unwavering intention to appeal.

There is no doubt whatsoever that the Bank will fight this case and use all recourses available
to it.

We strongly believe this verdict should be overturned on appeal. Once again, BNP Paribas
reaffirms that this result is clearly wrong and ignores important evidence the bank was not
permitted to introduce.

We are going to pursue all available avenues to contest this judgment.

Furthermore, this verdict is specific to these three plaintiffs and should not have broader
application.

Any attempt to extrapolate is necessarily wrong as is any speculation regarding a potential
settlement.

The Bank considers that it does not have any pressure to settle this case.
