11CONFIDENTIAL

Sector prospects: gradual increase in loan demand, on-going consolidation & new upward interest rate cycle.

BNB FORECAST 2018-19

Annual rate of change 2018 2019f

Claims on non-government sector 4.9% 5.6%

- claims on non-financial corporations 4.6% 6.1%

- claims on households 5.2% 4.3%

Deposits of the non-government sector 6.8% 7.2%

▪ In the 2018–2019 period funds attracted from the non-government sector in the banking system are expected to grow further, though at lower than the average 2016 rates, driven by the projected acceleration of private consumption and, correspondingly, by a slight decrease in the savings rate, as well as by the expectations of comparatively strong demand for currency in circulation. The expectations of retaining deposit rates at the attained low levels will also contribute to the foreseen trends regarding funds attracted from corporations and households in the banking system.

▪ The recovery of private consumption and investment amid relatively low lending rates will be a factor stimulating demand for loans from the non-government sector. Progressively improving economic activity is also expected to be a factor behind banks’ increasing lending risk appetite. The expectations of gradually accelerating credit growth correspond to the assumption of retaining positive trends in new loans to the private sector which have occurred since the second quarter of 2016.

REGULATORY CAPITAL

OWN FUNDS CALCULATIONS

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

▪ Since 1 January 2014, the provisions of the CRD IV package have been in force, transposing into European law the provisions of the Basel III capital standards for banks.

▪ CET1: a) issued and paid up capital instruments (ordinary shares); b) share premium from issuance of ordinary shares; c) audited retained earnings; d) accumulated other comprehensive income, including revaluation reserves; e) other reserves; f) minority interests. Deductions includes intangible assets.

▪ AT1: instruments include hybrid debt. Deductions include regulatory adjustments relating to items that are included in the capital or the assets of the Group, but are treated differently for capital adequacy regulation.

▪ Tier 2 capital: T2 capital consists of perpetual debt and regulatory adjustments related to revaluation reserve on land & buildings.

GMS in June’18 voted to capitalize the net profit for 2017, thus

ensuring strong internal capital generation with focus on CET1

In 2016 the Bank repaid perpetual debt (T2 capital) with principal EUR 21M

▪ Buffer for O-SII on an individual and consolidated basis, determined as a share of the total value of the risk exposures, is in the amount of 0% for 2017 and it will gradually grow from 0.5% in 2018 to 1% in 2020.

CAPITAL INDICATORS

CAPITAL ADEQUACY RATIO CALCULATIONS

▪ Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio is the Common Equity Tier 1 capital of the institution expressed as a percentage of the total risk exposure amount;

▪ Tier 1 capital ratio is the Tier 1 capital of the institution expressed as a percentage of the total risk exposure amount;

▪ Total capital ratio is the own funds of the institution expressed as a percentage of the total risk exposure amount.

▪ The total risk exposure amount is calculated as the sum of the risk-weighted assets for credit, market, and operational risk.

▪ The Group calculates the credit risk requirements for the exposures in its banking and trading portfolios based on the standardised approach. Exposures are taken into account at their book value. Off-balance sheet commitments are taken into account by applying conversion factors for the purpose of their approximation to book values. Positions are weighted for risk using different percentages depending on the class of exposure and its credit rating. A variety of techniques are used to reduce credit risk, such as collaterals and guarantees. For derivative instruments, such as forwards and options, the counterparty credit risk is estimated.

▪ The Group also calculates capital requirements for market risk for foreign exchange and commodity instruments in the trading and banking books.

▪ The Group calculates capital requirements for operational risk using the basic indicator approach. The capital requirement is equal to the average gross annual income over the last three years multiplied by a fixed percentage (15%). The respective risk weighted assets are calculated by further multiplication by 12.5.
