REORGANIZATION, RECAPITALIZATION AND RESULTS OF HPB – THE LARGEST BANK INCROATIAN OWNERSHIP

Tomislav Vuić, President of the Management Board

Successful 2015

  • • EU's approval of the recapitalization process (DG Competition – MEO)
  • • Recapitalization through public offer, amounting to HRK 550 mln – 55% private investors ~ 25% of total ownership
  • •Bank reorganization
  • • Increase in market share, loans and retail deposits
  • • Substantial improvement of cooperation with Croatian Post
  • •Best financial result in HPB's corporate history
  • • Best bank by return on equity in Croatia –9,4%

TO FOLLOW ADVICE OUTLINED IN THIS PRESENTATION DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN YOU WILL NOT MAKE ANY MISTAKES

Every company is a unique story as restructuring goals and executives' ambitions are frequently different.

Nevertheless, some rules I have learnt in the first two mergers out of 6transformations I took part in were present in each:

  • Decisions should be made and implemented quicklywith subsequent adjustments – post implementation
  • • Delays andcompromises cost more in the future
  • • All changes start fromthe top
  • • Sometimes you canachieve what seems impossible

HPB – SUCCESSFUL, UNVERSAL BANK

(customer focus, excellence, taking responsibility, achievement-oriented culture, agility/speed, teamwork)

RETAIL SEGMENT

  • 632.000 clients
  • 53 business units
  • 421.000 current accounts
  • HRK 8,6 bn. in deposits
  • 683.000 HPB cards

  • HRK 6 bn. of Croatian sovereign debt financing
  • Improving cooperation withstate units and public funds
  • Significant growth incorporates that initiatecooperation with the Bank

FY 2015 RESULTS EXCEEDED STRATEGIC GUIDELINES PRESENTED TO EUROPEAN COMMISSION AND PRIVATE INVESTORS

2014 – PROS AND CONS OF TAKING OFFICE AS PRESIDENT OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD

  • •Insufficient capital adequacy
  • • Recapitalization under approval of the European Commission (threat of bank recovery and even liquidation of the bank)
  • •Possible outflows of deposits
  • •Weak client structure with regard to age and income
  • •High operating costs
  • • Outdated organization and ignorance of current trends
  • • No investment in knowledge, skills and HR development
  • •Limited access to foreign financing
  • • Bank is perceived as a government institution which is slow, focused on pensioners and public companies, linked to public scandals and losses

  • •636.000 clients in total

  • •1.000 offices of Croatian Post
  • •Large depositor base
  • •Focus on HRK in assets and liabilities
  • •No CHF risk
  • •Limited need for CAPEX
  • • Public sympathy (to the extent possible) for a Croatian-owned bank
  • • Trust of current clients and satisfaction with theirprimary bank
  • Turning most problems and disadvantages (low starting base) into opportunities

WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR EVERY RESTRUCTURING

PRECONDITIONS

  • •Motivation *
  • •Knowledge
  • •Courage

* Motivation and a real desire to make a difference is most important, whilst a moderate lack knowledge orcourage may be compensated for.

MAIN FOES

  • •Demotivation (often in the beginning)
  • • Ignorance (with regard to profession, trends, neglecting education and savings, narrow horizons)
  • • Fear (of changes, for existential security, personal and family included)
  • •Habits and sloth
  • •Ego and insecurity

ALWAYS STRIKE A BALANCE!

Need for change due to unsustainable existing model

Retain the company healthy aspects of the company, motivated and enthusiasticemployees

Decrease in costs – always necessary (potential is limited, requires minimal knowledge but firm will, large layoffs and savings are not stimulating and motivating)

Growth and increase in revenue (theoretically the sky is the limit, more skills and a bit of creativity needed, can't be forecasted with certainty) + greater goal above profitability (Croatian interests and interests of its citizens)

Quick wins – simple solutions with quickly visible outcomes, in light of the environment and more so due to motivation of managers and employees

Structural solutions which bring prosperity to the company in the long run (in the short run they tend to increase burden and costs)

CHANGE IN CORPORATE CULTURE –MOST IMPORTANT GOAL OF HUMAN RESOURCES

2015 – BANK WITH HIGHEST RETURN ON EQUITY IN CROATIA

  • •Excellent IT (for a bank)
  • • Clear and communicated strategy, openmindedness to new ideas and courage to implement and innovate
