BNP Paribas Announces Completion of BNP Paribas Energy Trading Acquisition

NEW YORK, NY, Oct 05, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- BNP Paribas is pleased to announce that it has fully closed on its purchase of BNP Paribas Energy Trading GP in Houston, formerly known as Fortis Energy Marketing & Trading GP, and that its subsidiary BNP Paribas (Canada) fully closed on its purchase of BNP Paribas Energy Trading Canada Corp. in Calgary, formally known as FB Energy Canada Corp. All regulatory approvals have been obtained that are required for integrating these entities within BNP Paribas Group's long standing Commodity Derivatives operations.

BNP Paribas Energy Trading GP and BNP Paribas Energy Trading Canada Corp., together, are primarily physical trading platforms servicing major power and natural gas markets in North America.

The expanded platform will also enable BNP Paribas to offer producer services and structured solutions which are highly complementary to the Bank's commodity finance and lending activities.

BNP Paribas' Commodity Derivatives business line now includes 100 front-office professionals in North America and 240 worldwide. London and Singapore are key hubs in servicing the Bank's global client franchise for oil and oil products, base and precious metals, agricultural commodities, carbon and investor solutions. BNP Paribas is also a market leader for Commodity Futures execution and clearing requirements.

Commenting on the close, Marc Fontaine, Head of Commodity Derivatives, Americas said, "With the acquisition of these physical energy platforms, the BNP Paribas Group offers a full suite of energy risk-management solutions to the energy & commodity participants in North America, from energy producers and refiners to industrials, utilities, municipalities and investors. Over the years, the Bank has consistently expanded corporate and investment banking services to the energy & commodity sector across the globe. The completed integration of the BNP Paribas Energy Trading entities is a further sign of this strategic commitment."
