The present Group's condensed Interim financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors on 26 May 2022.


The Group has prepared the condensed interim financial statements for the current period ending at 31.3.2022 in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as it has been adopted by the European Union. Interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31.12.2021.
The accounting policies applied by the Group in preparing the condensed interim financial statements are the same as those stated in the published financial statements for the year ended on 31.12.2021, after taking into account the amendments to standards which were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), adopted by the European Union and applied on 1.1.2022, for which further analysis is provided in note 1.1.2.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. However, some assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. Those assets are the following:
The financial statements are presented in Euro, rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.
The financial statements as at 31.3.2022 have been prepared based on the going concern principle. For the application of this principle, the Board of Directors considered current economic developments and made estimates for the formation, in the near future, of the economic environment in which it operates. In this context, the Board of Directors assessed the following areas which are considered important during its assessment:
The emergence and rapid spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020 dealt a severe blow to the global and Greek economies. Governments, in an effort to strengthen the resilience of their national economies, have taken unprecedented fiscal measures to support national health systems, ensure employment and entrepreneurship. The expansionary fiscal policy pursued by the Greek government partially offset the negative effects of the recession approaching 9% on an annual basis in 2020. In 2021, GDP at constant prices increased by 8.3% on an annual basis, based on seasonally adjusted data, which led to the recovery of much of the losses caused by the recession of the previous year.
The strong recovery in economic activity in 2021 is mainly due to private consumption which increased by 7.8% on an annual basis, contributing 5.5 points to GDP growth and which was supported by the rapid growth of savings and the improvement of employment. Investments recorded the second largest positive contribution to GDP growth in 2021 (2.3 percentage points), as they increased by 19.6%, with the largest increase, from the sub-categories, to investments in mechanical and technological equipment (+ 34.5%, on an annual basis). The good performance of services exports and especially of tourist receipts, in 2021, resulted in the positive contribution of net exports to GDP growth, by 0.9 p.p. Finally, public consumption increased by 3.7% in 2021, compared to 2020, contributing by 0.8 p.p. to GDP growth, as a result of fiscal interventions to address the negative effects of the pandemic, but also of other fiscal measures to support households and businesses, which include, inter alia, the provision of heating and electricity subsidies and oil. On the contrary, stocks (including statistical differences) decreased significantly in the previous year, deducting 1.1 percentage points from GDP growth.
According to the initial forecasts (State Budget Report 2022-November 2021, European Commission Autumn Forecasts-November 2021, Interim Monetary Report, Bank of Greece-December 2021), Greece's GDP was projected to increase by approximately 5% in 2022. However, heightened uncertainty may slow the recovery of the Greek economy in the short term. The factors of uncertainty concern: (i) the geopolitical risks, (ii) the inflationary pressures that appeared from the second half of 2021 onwards and mainly the increase of energy prices, (iii) the evolution of the epidemiological condition. In addition, it is worth noting that the support measures - some of which were phased out in 2021 - are associated with additional mediumterm budgetary risks (eg possible loan arrears for which the state has provided guarantees).
The economic implications of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, as well as the sanctions imposed on Russia, are mainly related to the prolongation of the period of strong inflationary pressures, as Russia is currently the main supplier of natural gas to the European Union. The Greek economy may be affected by geopolitical developments through the following additional channels: (i) the reduction of real disposable income and the purchasing power of households, undermining economic growth, through a weaker-than-expected increase in private consumption, (ii) tourist arrivals, directly in relation to tourist arrivals from Russia and Ukraine - which, however, account for a small percentage of all travel arrivals in Greece - and indirectly, through the expected reduction in consumer purchasing power in the countries of origin, as a consequence of rising energy prices, (iii) the postponement of investment projects.
Therefore, the forecasts for the GDP of Greece in 2022 were adversely revised. According to the Annual Report of the BoG Governor (April 2022), the GDP growth rate in 2022 is estimated at 3.8% according to the baseline scenario and 2.8% based on the adverse scenario, while the corresponding forecast included in the Report by the International Monetary Fund, published in April (World Economic Outlook) is an increase of 3.5%.
Inflation, according to the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), has been on the rise since the second half of 2021, mainly due to rising global energy prices, supply chain disruptions and raw material shortages. According to the latest available data from ELSTAT, in March 2022 the HICP increased by 8%, compared to -2% in the corresponding month of 2021. In 2022, harmonized inflation is expected to range between 5.2% (baseline scenario) and 7% (unfavorable scenario) according to the Bank of Greece (Governor's Report for the year 2021, April 2022), while according to the IMF (World Economic Outlook, April 2022) it will be 4.5%.
Despite the prevailing uncertainty, the outlook for the Greek economy remains particularly positive in the medium term, as: First, the conditions are created for a change in the composition of economic growth, which is expected to come to a greater extent from investment spending. The conditions for the increase of investments, in the next period, will be determined by the course of the debt of the Greek economy towards the investment level, by the inflow of resources from the Recovery and Sustainability Fund (TAA), as well as by the implementation of structural reforms that form an entrepreneurial environment. The financing from the TAA can prove to be a solid basis for a strong upward course of the Greek economy and is expected to create a virtuous cycle of new investments and sustainable growth rates. The funds, according to the National Plan for Recovery and Sustainability, are expected to mobilize new investments amounting to approximately Euro 57.5 billion in the period 2021-2026, largely covering the investment gap that had been created in Greece in the previous decade. Second, a new increase in arrivals and receipts from tourism and a significant recovery in business turnover are estimated. According to available data, travel arrivals in Greece in the period January-February 2022 were almost three times higher compared to the same period in 2021, while international arrivals at Athens International Airport increased by 428% in the first quarter of this year compared to the first quarter of 2021.
Regarding the liquidity levels of the Group, it is noted that there was no adverse change due to Covid-19 in terms of the ability to draw liquidity from the Eurosystem Mechanisms and from repos interbank transactions (with or without collateral). The Bank made use of the TLTRO III program of the European Central Bank and ensured long-term liquidity with very low interest rates. In this context, the total financing from the European Central Bank on 31.13.2022 amounts to € 12.8 billion (note 16). In addition, in order to reinforce its liquidity, the Bank issued on 16.9.2021 a senior preferred bond, amounting to € 500 mil., with a 6.5-year maturity, callable in year 5.5 with a coupon of 2.5% and a yield of 2.625%, while, additionally on 10.12.2021 the Bank issued a senior preferred bond, amounting to € 400 mil, with a 2-year maturity, with a coupon of 3% and callable the first year. In addition, it is important that the European Central Bank, in its decisions in March, April and December 2020, accepted
the securities of the Hellenic Republic as collateral for liquidity operations. It is noted that the available eligible collaterals through which the drawing of liquidity from the Eurosystem Mechanisms and / or from third sources is ensured, to the extent required, amounts to € 13 billion as of 31.3.2022. As a result of the above, the liquidity ratios (liquidity coverage ratio and net stable funding ratio) exceed the supervisory limits that have been set. In addition, considering the conditions that form the current economic environment, stress test exercises are carried out regularly (at least monthly) for liquidity purposes, in order to assess possible outflows (contractual or potential). The Group completes successfully the liquidity short term stress scenarios (idiosyncratic, systemic and combined), retaining a high liquidity buffer. As a result, based on the Group's plan as well on internal stress tests the Group has sufficient liquidity reserves to meet its needs.
On 31.3.2022, the Common Equity Tier I of the Group stands at 12.1%, while the Total Capital Adequacy Ratio at 15%. These levels are significantly higher than the levels set by the European Central Bank as further described in note 27. It is also important that due to the spread of Covid-19, the European Central Bank decided to temporarily deviate from the minimum limits of regulatory capital for European Banks at least until the end of 2022. The Bank in order to strengthen its capital proceeded on 4.3.2021 to the issuance of new Tier 2 bond amounting to € 500 mil, with a 10.25-year maturity callable anytime between year 5 and year 5.25 with initial fixed coupon of 5.5% until 11.6.2026, which resets to a new rate effective from the call date until maturity and which is set based on the 5-year swap rate plus a margin 5.823% for the residual maturity. In addition, the Group successfully concluded the 2021 EU-wide Stress Test. The Stress Test was conducted based on a static balance sheet approach under a baseline and an adverse macro scenario with a 3-year forecasting horizon (2020- 2023). Taking into consideration the results of the capital Stress Test and the internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP), the actions that aim in the creation of internal capital through profitability, it is estimated that for the next 12 months the Total Capital Adequacy Ratio and the MREL ratio will remain higher than the required minimum levels.
In May 2021 the Bank announced the Updated Strategic Plan which is intended to drive the sustainable development and profitability of the Group. The updated Strategic Plan is based on the following key initiatives:
In addition, in the context of the updated strategic plan, capital measures are taken through the implementation of specific transactions that provide additional capital buffers (note 34).
The updated strategic plan aims in aggregate at the reform of the Group's balance sheet and in the mid-term at the increase of return on equity, preserving at the same time the capital position, over the required minimum thresholds that apply.
Based on the above and taking into account:
the Board of Directors estimates that, at least for the next 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements, the conditions for the application of the going concern principle for the preparation of its financial statements are met.
The following are the amendments to standards applied from 1.1.2022:
‣ Amendment to the International Financial Reporting Standard 3 "Business Combinations": Reference to the Conceptual Framework (Regulation 2021/1080/28.6.2021)

On 14.5.2020 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IAS 16 which prohibits deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, the proceeds from selling such items and the cost of producing them must be recognized in profit or loss.
The adoption of the above amendment had no impact on the financial statements of the Group.
‣ Amendment to International Accounting Standard 37 "Liabilities, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets": Onerous Contracts – Cost of fulfilling a contract (Regulation 2021/1080/28.6.2021)

These costs are both the incremental costs of fulfilling a contract – for example direct labour and materials- and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling a contract – for example the depreciation charge of an item of property plant and equipment used in fulfilling that contract.
The adoption of the above amendment had no impact on the financial statements of the Group.
‣ Annual Improvements – cycle 2018-2020 (Regulation 2021/1080/28.6.2021)

The Group is examining the impact from the adoption of the above amendment on its financial statements.
Further analysis of the above standards is provided in note 1.1.2 of the annual financial statements as at 31.12.2021.
The Group, in the context of applying accounting policies, makes judgments and assessments which have a significant impact on the amounts recognized in the financial statements. Those judgements relate to the following:
The Group, at initial recognition of a debt financial asset, assesses whether cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The assessment requires judgement mainly on:
• Whether contractual terms that affect the performance of the instrument relate solely to credit risk, other basic lending risks and profit margin.
The Group, in the context of the application of its accounting policies for the measurement of the expected credit losses makes judgments in order to identify:
Applying different judgments could significantly affect the number of financial instruments classified in stage 2 or significantly differentiate expected credit loss.
The recognition of assets and liabilities for current and deferred tax is carried out based on the interpretation of the applicable tax legislation. However, it may be affected by factors such as the practical implementation of the relevant legislation and the settlement of disputes that might exist with tax authorities etc. When assessing the tax treatment of all significant transactions, the Group takes into account and evaluates all available data (Circulars of the Ministry of Finance, case law, administrative practices, etc.) and / or opinions received from internal and external legal advisers. Future tax audits and changes in tax legislation may result in the adjustment of the amount of assets and liabilities for current and deferred tax and in tax payments other than those recognized in the financial statements of the Group.
The Group classifies non-current assets or disposal groups that are expected to be recovered principally through a sale transaction, along with the related liabilities, as held-for-sale when the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition and its sale is highly probable to be completed within one year. The assessment of whether the above criteria are met requires judgment mainly as to whether the sale is likely to be completed within one year from the reporting date. In the context of this assessment, the Group takes into account the receipt of the required approvals (both regulatory and those given by the General Meeting and the Committees of the Group), the receipt of offers (binding or not) and the singing of agreements as well as of any conditions included in them.
The Group in the context of its actions for liquidity and its strategies for management of loans proceeds with the securitization of assets through the establishment of special purpose entities whose activities are guided by contractual agreements. The Group makes judgments in order to assess whether it controls those companies taking into account the possibility to make decisions on their relative activities as well as the degree of its exposure to the variability of their returns.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty used by the Group in the context of applying its accounting principles and relating to
the carrying amount of assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period that relate to the future are presented below. Final amounts in the next periods may be significantly different from those recognised in the financial statements.
For assets and liabilities traded in active markets, the determination of their fair value is based on quoted, market prices. In all other cases the determination of fair value is based on valuation techniques that use observable market data to the greatest extent possible. In cases where there is no observable market data, the fair value is determined using data that are based on internal estimates and assumptions i.e. determination of expected cash flows, discount rates, prepayment probabilities or counterparty default.
The measurement of expected credit losses requires the use of complex models and significant estimates of future economic conditions and credit behavior, taking into account the events that have occurred until reporting date. The significant estimates relate to:
The Group, at each reporting date, assesses for impairment right-of-use assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, as well as its investments in associates and joint ventures and at least on an annual basis property, plant and equipment and investment property. Internal estimates are used to a significant degree to determine the recoverable amount of the assets, i.e. the higher between the fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
Defined benefit obligations are estimated based on actuarial valuations, which are mainly conducted on an annual basis, that incorporate assumptions regarding discount rates, future changes in salaries and pensions, as well as the return on any plan assets. Any change in these assumptions will affect the amount of obligations recognized.
The amounts recognized by the Group in its financial statements as provisions are derived from the best estimate of the outflow required to settle the present obligation. This estimate is determined by Management after taking into account experience from relevant transactions and in some cases expert reports. In case the amount recognized as a provision is affected by a variety of factors, its calculation is based on the weighting of all possible results. At each balance sheet date, provisions are revised to reflect current best estimates of the obligation.
The Group recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that it will have sufficient future taxable profit available, against which, deductible temporary differences and tax losses carried forward can be utilized.
The change in the amount of deferred tax assets recognized in the consolidated financial statements as at 31.3.2022 compared to 31.12.2021 has not affected recoverability assessment. Therefore, what is stated in note 1.3 of the annual financial statements of 31.12.2021 regarding the main categories of deferred tax assets recognized is also applicable to these financial statements. In addition, regarding the methodology applied for the recoverability assessment, what is stated in the

aforementioned note of the annual financial statements is also applicable, taking also into consideration the elements that formed the result of the current period.
The estimates and judgments applied by the Group in making decisions and in preparing the financial statements are based on historical information and assumptions which at present are considered appropriate. The estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis in order to take into account current conditions, and the effect of any changes is recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised.

| Net interest income | 283,222 | 396,255 |
During the first quarter of 2022, net interest income decreased compared to the first quarter of 2021, mainly due to the loan portfolio and the derecognition of Galaxy and Cosmos perimeter, the increased borrowing cost from the new bond issuances of year 2021 and the recognition of income of € 24,671 for TLTRO III program which concerns the period from 24.6.2020 to 31.12.2020, which is included in "Negative interest rates from interest bearing liabilities" of the first quarter of 2021. This decrease was partially offset by the increase from the income associated with new loan funding and the increase in lending balances through TLTRO III program in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the corresponding period of 2021, which are included in "Negative interest rates from interest bearing liabilities".

For the first quarter of 2022, Impairment losses and provisions to cover credit risk on loans and advances to customers and related expenses amounted to € 107,299 (31.3.2021: € 390,553).
Impairment losses on loans for the current period include an amount of € 57 million which represents the impact of incorporating sale scenarios in the estimation of expected credit losses, in order to take into account the impact of the anticipated sales of loans portfolios as follows:
The above transactions are included in the NPE Business plan, as detailed in Note 34. The Group, for the determination of the sale probabilities scenarios, evaluated the uncertainties around each project and mainly relate to the stage of preparation and the uncertainty around the conditions precedent and other prerequisites that are linked with these sales (other capital actions, obtaining approvals etc.)
Certain figures of the previous period have been restated as described in note 32.
For Solar, Leasing and Hermes a 50% probability of the sale scenario has been calculated as at 31.3.2022 while for Shipping loan portfolio transaction the probability of sale scenario that has been calculated is 100%.
For Sky, the probability of sale scenario for 31.12.2021 is 100%.
For transactions for which the Group has not calculated a 100% probability of sale scenario as well as for other transactions included in the business plan for which the the Group cannot assess any probability, the additional impairment loss is estimated at approximately € 200 million.

The reversal of the expected credit losses on debt securities and other securities measured at amortized cost during the first quarter of 2022 is mainy due to the upgrade of the credit rating of the Greek systemic banks by one notch from Moodys. The expected credit losses on debt securities during the first quarter of 2021 are mainly attributed to new placements in Greek Government bonds and of other Greek issuers within the portfolio of debt securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

In accordance with article 125 of L.4831 / 2021 "Legal Council of the State (NSK) and situation of its officials and employees and other provisions", article 27 of L.4172 / 2013 was amended. Pursuant to the new provisions, the debit difference from the exchange of Greek government bonds or corporate bonds guaranteed by the Greek State, in application of a participation program in the redistribution of Greek debt (of par. 2 of article 27 of law 4172/2013), is deducted as a priority before the debit difference due to credit risk of law 4465/2017 (par. 3 of article 27 of law 4172/2013). The amount of the annual debit
Certain figures of the previous period have been restated as described in note 32.
difference from credit risk deduction is limited to the amount of gains as determined under tax law, before the deduction of these debt differences and after the deduction of the debit difference resulting from the PSI bond exchange. The remaining amount of the annual deduction that has not been offset is carried forward for deduction in subsequent tax years within the twenty-year period, in which the remaining profits will remain after the annual deduction of the debit differences corresponding to those years. The order of deduction of the transferred amounts is preceded by the older debit difference balances to the most recent ones. If at the end of the twenty-year amortization period there are balances that have not been offset, these are losses subject to the five-year expiration rule.
It is noted that the above provision does not affect the depreciation rate of the deferred tax asset (DTA) used for regulatory purpose, neither retrospectively nor in the future, ie DTA will continue to be depreciated on a straight line basis (1/20 per year), for both previous, as well as for future sales of non-performing loans. The purpose of this amendment is to avoid a significant one-off impairment of DTA as a result of the tax amortization of accumulated loan losses.
The above provisions are in effect from 1.1.2021 and relate to the debit differences of par. 3 that have been raised from 1.1.2016. Within the context of the above article, the Bank recognized as at 31.3.2022 a deferred tax asset deriving from the unamortised balance of debit difference of € 122,158.
As of 31.3.2022, the amount of deferred tax asset that falls within the scope of Law 4465/2017 and includes the amount of the debt difference of Law 4046/2012 (PSI), amounts to € 2,854 million (31.12.2021: € 2,891 million).
Article 82 of Law 4472/19.5.2017 "Pension provisions of the State and amendment of provisions of Law 4387/2016, measures for the implementation of fiscal objectives and reforms, measures for social support and employment regulations. Medium-Term Framework of the Fiscal Strategy 2018-2021 and others provisions" provides for the obligation of credit institutions and other companies that fall under the provisions of article 27A of Law 4172/2013) to pay an annual fee of 1.5% for the amount of the tax claim guaranteed by the Greek State arising from the difference between the current income tax rate (currently 29%) and the tax rate that was effective on 31.12.2014 (26%). The amount of the commission for the first quarter of 2022 amounts to € 1,251 (note 6).

It is noted that in January 2022, 1,430,168 options rights were exercised which resulted in the issuance of 1,430,168 ordinary, registered, voting shares with nominal value of Euro 0.30 each. The share capital of the Company increased by € 429 and the share premium increased by € 1,042.
Diluted earnings/(losses) per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period with the dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company holds shares of this category, arising from a plan of awarding stock options rights to employees of the Company and other Group entities.
For the calculation of the diluted earnings per share, it is assumed that the option rights are exercised and that the related hypothetical inflows derive from the issuance of common shares at the average market price of the year during which the options were outstanding. The difference between the number of options to be granted and the ordinary shares issued at the average market price for ordinary shares, is treated as issuance of ordinary shares without exchange.

In December 2021, following:
the Executive Committee of the Bank decided to minimize the usage of the Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI) towards the utmost operational needs of the Bank's Capital Markets, and the long term bonds to be held to collect interest income, which is also aligned with the Strategic Plan pf the Bank and to reclassify bonds of € 4.16 billion in the hold to collect business model to be held to collect contractual cash flows.

Fluctuations in the amount of investments securities are due to the decision taken by the Executive Committee of the Bank in December 2021 to change its business model with an effective day 1.1.2022. According to this decision, securities that are measured at FVTOCI are those that are considered absolutely necessary to cover financial products' management, while the use of investments in long-term securities is mainly intended to collect interest income (Note 15).
All securities issued by Greek State are classified in level 1 and in level 2 based on the quality of inputs used for the estimation of their fair value.
The Group's exposure to Greek State from other financial instruments, excluding debt securities, is depicted in the table below:
a. Derivatives

b. The Group's exposure in loans to public sector entities/organizations as at 31.3.2022 amounted to € 33,421 (31.12.2021: € 34,865). The Group has recognized an accumulated allowance for expected credit losses for these loans amounting to € 563 as at 31.3.2022 (31.12.2021: € 554).
c. Balance of the Group's loans guaranteed by the Greek State as at 31.3.2022 amounted to € 7,108,046 (31.12.2021: € 7,191,890). As at 31.3.2022 for these loans the Group had recognized accumulated allowance for expected credit losses of € 81,234 (31.12.2021: € 70,265). It is noted that the carrying amount of loans with guarantee by the Covid-19 Guarantee Fund of the Hellenic Development Bank amounted to € 1,193,966 as at 31.3.2022 (31.12.2021: € 1,259,451).

The above tables set out the fair values and carrying amounts of those financial assets measured at amortised cost.
The fair value of loans measured at amortised cost is estimated using the discounted cash flow models for the discounting of the contractual cash flows to maturity. The components of the discount rate are the interbank market yield curve, the liquidity premium and the expected loss rate. In specific, for those loans that for credit risk purposes are classified as impaired and are individually assessed for impairment, the model uses the expected future cash flows excluding expected credit losses. For the fair value measurement of the impaired loans which are collectively assessed for impairment, estimates are made for principal repayment after taking into account the allowance for expected credit losses.The interbank market yield curve and the liquidity premium serve as the discount rate for the impaired loans, liquidity premium, operational cost and capital requirement. The fair value of securities classified as loans and advances to customers at amortised cost, is calculated based on the discounted model of future cash flows until maturity, taking into account their credit risk.
The fair value of deposits is estimated based on the interbank market yield curve, operational cost and the liquidity premium until their maturity.
The fair value of debt securities and bonds is calculated on the basis of market prices, provided that the market is active and the absence of active market, the cash flow discount method is applied where all significant variables are based on either observable data or a combination of observable and non-observable market data. The fair value of the remaining financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost does not differ materially from their carrying amount.

The above tables present the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments measured at fair value according to the significance of data that has been used for their hierarchy level.
Securities which are traded in an active market and exchange-traded derivatives are classified as Level 1.
The securities whose fair value is calculated based on non-binding market prices provided by dealers-brokers or on the application of the income approach methodology using interest rates and credit spreads which are observable in the market, are classified as Level 2.
In Level 3 are classified securities whose fair value is estimated using significant unobservable inputs.
Relating to impact of Covid-19, it is noted that as at 31.3.2022 the Group, following the relevant measures taken by the Central Banks and the member states as well as the subsequent normalization of the financial and capital markets, did not consider necessary to change fair value methodology for securities and derivatives.
Valuation methodology for securities is subject to approval by the Asset Liability Management Committee. It is noted that, especially for securities measured at market values, bid prices are taken into consideration and their valuation variances are reviewed daily.
The fair value of loans measured at fair value through profit or loss, is estimated based on the valuation methodology as described above regarding the disclosure of fair value estimation for loans measured at amortized cost.
Shares whose fair value is determined based on external data are classified as Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the extent of the contribution of unobservable data to the calculation of the final fair value.
The fair value of non-listed shares, as well as of those shares not traded in an active market is determined either based on the Group's share on the issuer's equity or by the multiples valuation method or based on projections made by the Group regarding the future profitability of the issuer considering the expected growth rate of its operations, as well as the weighted average rate of capital return which is used as discount rate.
For the valuation of over the counter derivatives income approach methodologies are used: discounted cash flow models, option-pricing models or other widely accepted financial valuation models.
The valuation methodology of the over the counter derivatives is subject to approval by the Asset Liability Management Committee. Mid prices are used since both long and short positions may be open. Valuation results are reviewed on a daily basis against the respective prices of the counterparty banks or clearence houses as part of the daily process of provision of collaterals and settlement of derivatives. If the non observable inputs for the determination of fair value are significant, the financial instruments are classified as Level 3 or otherwise as Level 2.
In addition, the Group calculates the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) in order to consider, the counterparty credit risk for the OTC derivatives. In particular, taking into consideration its own credit risk, the Group calculates the bilateral credit valuation

adjustment (Bilateral CVA/BCVA) for the OTC derivatives held on a counterparty level according to the netting and collateral agreements in force. BCVA is calculated across all counterparties with a material effect on the respective derivative fair values taking into consideration the probability of default of both the counterparty and the Group, the impact of the first to default, the expected OTC derivative exposure, the loss given default of the counterparty and of the Group as well as the specific characteristics of the netting and collateral agreements in force.
Collaterals are simulated along with the derivative portfolio exposure over the life of the related instruments. Calculations performed depend largely on observable market data. Market quoted counterparty and Bank's CDS spreads are used in order to derive the respective probability of default, a market standard recovery rate is assumed for developed market counterparties, correlations between market data are taken into account and subsequently a series of simulations is performed to model the portfolio exposure over the life of the related instruments. In the absence of observable market data, the counterparty probability of default and loss given default are determined using the Group's internal models for credit rating and collateral valuation. BCVA model is validated from an independent division of the Group.
A breakdown of BCVA per counterparty sector and credit quality, as defined for the presentation purposes of the table "Loans by credit quality and IFRS 9 Stage" is provided below:

The Group reassess on an instrument by instrument basis the hierarchy at each reporting period and when necessary proceeds to transfers among levels depending on the available data at the end of each reporting period.
Within the period, an amount of € 37,100 of corporate bonds was transferred from Level 2 to Level 1, due to the formation of the liquidity margin (bid-ask spread) outside the limit set for the classification of the market as active.
During the previous year, an amount of € 51,864 of corporate bonds of Greek issuers were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1, due to the formation of the liquidity margin (bid-ask spread) outside the limit set for the classification of the market as active.

For credit risk disclosure purposes, the allowance for expected credit losses of loans measured at amortised cost includes also the fair value adjustment for the contractual balance of loans which were impaired at their acquisition or origination (POCI) since the Group, from credit risk perspective, monitors the respective adjustment as part of the allowance. These loans were recognized either in the context of acquisition of specific loans or companies (i.e. Emporiki Bank and Citibank's retail operations in Greece), or as a result of significant modification of the terms of the previous loan resulted to derecognition. Relevant adjustment has also been made at the carrying amount of loans before allowance for expected credit losses.
It is noted that the credit risk tables do not include the outstanding balances and allowance for expected credit losses of loans that have been classified as assets held for sale.
The following table below presents loans and finance leasing measured at amortized cost by IFRS 9 stage.

The total amount of provisions for credit risk that the Group has recognized and derive from contracts with customers stands at € 2,314,355 as at 31.3.2022 (31.12.2021: € 2,255,977), taking into consideration the allowance for expected credit losses on loans measured at amortised cost of € 2,222,283 (31.12.2021: € 2,163,306), the allowance for expected credit losses for the undrawn loan commitments, letters of credit and letters of guarantee of amount € 43,844 (31.12.2021: € 42,684) and the allowance for expected credit losses on advances to customers of amount € 48,228 (31.12.2021: € 49,987).
As the Russia/Ukraine conflict is ongoing, it is noted that any ongoing impact assessment is preliminary and includes a significant degree of expert judgement. However, the Bank is closely monitoring the ongoing crisis and assessing its impact on its business, financial position and profitability. Once the situation is clearer both at the macroeconomic level and in the possible channels for transmitting the consequences of the conflict to the balance sheet of the Bank and its subsidiaries, the Group may make appropriate adjustments to its strategy, business plan and financing plan as appropriate; while it may also consider additional exposure reduction measures beyond those to be analysed below, if necessary.
The Bank has examined a double outcome/impact of the ongoing conflict and has identified appropriate actions to limit exposure in order to respond in a timely manner to demanding geopolitical developments:
As of 31.3.2022, the impact due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict comes mainly from the update of the macroeconomic outlook and amounts to € 25.4 million at Group level. It is noted that there has been no change in the valuation techniques for the fair value measurement of Held for sale assets, as well as in the levels of the fair value hierarchy as compared to 31.12.2021.

The policy of the Group is to maintain strong capital ratios and ample buffers above the regulatory minimum requirements in order to ensure the delivery of its business strategy and the trust of depositors, shareholders, markets and business partners.
Share capital increases are conducted following resolutions of the General Meeting of Shareholders or the Board of Directors, in accordance with articles of incorporation or the relevant laws.
According to the Relationship Framework Agreement (RFA) which has been signed between the Bank and the HFSF, as long as the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund (HFSF) participates in the Share Capital of the Bank, the purchase of own shares is not allowed without its approval.
The capital adequacy ratio compares the Group's regulatory capital with the risks that it undertakes (Risk Weighted Assets - RWAs). Regulatory capital includes Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital (share capital, reserves, minority interests), additional Tier 1 capital (hybrid securities) and Tier 2 capital (subordinated debt). RWAs include the credit risk of the investment portfolio (including counterparty risk and credit valuation adjustment), the market risk of the trading book and the operational risk.
Alpha Bank S.A., as a systemic bank, and consequently its parent company Alpha Services and Holdings S.A., is supervised by

| 31.3.2022 | 31.3.2022* (Pro-forma) |
31.12.2021 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Equity Tier I Ratio | 11.8% | 12.1% | 13.2% |
| Tier I Ratio | 11.8% | 12.1% | 13.2% |
| Total Capital Adequacy Ratio** | 14.6% | 15.0% | 16.1% |
On February 2, 2022, the ECB informed Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. that from March 2022 the minimum limit of the consolidated Overall Capital Requirements (OCR) is increased to 14.25%.

The minimum rate should be kept on on going basis, considering the CRR / CRD IV Transitional Provisions.

As a result, EU published the Regulation (EU) 2020/873, which included amendments in relation to capita requirements set by 575/2013 and 876/2019. The revised regulatory framework was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 22 June 2020.
The Bank has adopted art 468 and 473a of the Regulation (EU) 2020/873. The purpose of the new regulation is
On 22 December 2020, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/2176 of 12 November 2020 amending Delegated Regulation (EU) No 241/2014 was published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The regulation includes certain provisions for the deduction of software category from CET1.

On 23 March 2022, Alpha Bank S.A., received a communication letter from the European Single Resolution Board including its decision for the minimum requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL). The requirements are based on the Recovery and Resolution Directive ("BRRD2"), which was incorporated into the Greek Law 4799/2021 on 18.5.2021. At the same time, by the same decision, the Resolution Authority defined the single point of entry (SPE) resolution strategy. According to the decision, from 1 January 2026 Alpha Bank S.A. is required to meet, on a consolidated basis, minimum MREL of 23.37% of the risk-weighted assets and 5.92% of the Leverage ratio. The letter also sets out the intermediate MREL to be met from 1 January 2022, i.e. 14.02% of the risk-weighted assets and 5.91% of the leverage ratio. The MREL ratio, expressed as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, does not include the Combined Buffer Requirement (CBR), which currently stands at 3.25%. Furthermore, The Resolution Authority has decided that Alpha Bank S.A. is not subject to requirement for subordinated MREL.
Minimum requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL), including the transition compliance period, are in line with the expectations of Alpha Bank S.A. The long-term financing plan of Alpha Bank S.A. envisages further strengthening of MREL, so that these requirements can be met when they enter into force. As of March 31, 2022, the Bank's MREL ratio on a consolidated basis was 17.44% (including profit for the period ended March 31, 2022). The final MREL ratio minimum requirements is updated annually by the SRB.

The Group has inititiated the process for the sale of specific subsidiaries and joint-ventures, loan portfolios of non-performing retail and corporate exposures, as well as real estate and other fixed assets of the Bank and of certain subsidiaries, for which the criteria to be classified under IFRS 5 as "Non-current Assets Held for Sale" are met. In accordance with the IFRS 5, noncurrent assets held for sale or disposal groups held for sale are valued at the lower between their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
The change in the book value of the "Assets held for sale", compared to 31.12.2021,is mainly attributed to the completion of the disposal of the Orbit loan portfolio, to the reduction of Alpha Bank Albania's net assets and the receivables from payment systems and merchants on 31.3.2022 in relation to 31.12.2021. The above is partially offset by the classification in the category "Assets for sale" of a portfolio of non-performing shipping loans ("Shipping") for which the Bank is at an advanced stage of completion of their sale, which will be completed within 2022.

Alpha Service and Holdings S.A Group consolidates Alpha Bank Group, which is the most significant component of the Group as well as the subsidiaries Alpha Insurance Agency S.A., Alphalife and Alpha Group Jesrsey Ltd.

As a result, the Total Equity of the Alpha Bank Group, amounting to € 5,906 million, is lower than the Total Equity of Alpha Services and Holdings Group, by € 207 million. The variance is attributed to the balances of the companies that are not consolidated at Alpha Bank Group level and to the intercompany balances of the assets and liabilities of Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. and its subsidiaries with the Bank.
Profit after income tax of Alpha Bank Group. for the first quarter of 2022, amount to € 97 million and is lower by € 28 million compared to Profit after income of Alpha Services Group and Holdings S.A., mainly due to the result of the companies that are not consolidated at Alpha Bank Group level and to the intercompany income and expenses of Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. and its subsidiaries with the Bank.

In May 2021 the Updated Strategic Plan of the Group was presented, including a series of strategic initiatives which affect the financial results of the Group until 2024 aiming to specific financial targets.
On 31.3.2022 an updated NPE Business plan was also submitted. Out of the remaining € 5.1 billion NPE in the Group Loans and advances to customers' portfolios as at 31.12.2021, the updated plan targets to € 1.4 billion NPE and an NPE ratio of circa 3% at the end of 2024, a reduction resulting from a combination of organic and other initiatives.
Non organic initiatives of this plan includes "Solar" transaction, which relate, apart from transaction "Sky", to the sale of non-performing loan portfolios of the four systemic banks making use of the provisions of Law 3156/2003 around the securitization of receivables guaranteed by the Greek State in the context of "Hercules" program (amounting to € 0.4 billion before allowance for expected credit losses), as well as transactions of selected NPE of shipping and corporate portfolio, leasing loans and unsecured retail portfolio (amounting to € 1.2 billion before allowance for expected credit losses). On 31.3.2022 the non performing loan portfolios of "Shipping" transaction and non performing loan portfolios and properties of "Sky" transaction are classified in Assets Held for Sale and a sale probability of 100% has been calculated. For those portfolios that as at 31.3.2022, a sale scenario with a less than 100% propability is incorporated since the Board has no reasonable assumptions to base its assessment, the impact from the additional loss upon calculation of the allowances for expected credit losses based on the estimated sale price, is estimated to approximately 200 million.
Apart from the targeted reduction of Non-performing Exposures, the strategic plan includes a series of capital measures that support the Group's NPE initiatives, providing additional capital buffers. These measures include the following transactions while it is noted that for the first two transactions, the Group has already accepted binding offers with the investors and therefore have been classified as held for sale:
The successful completion of the above capital initiatives will contribute to the reinforcement of the capital adequacy of the Group.
