* RWA as at 31.12.2020 (Annual Report 2020)

As at 31. December 2021, the CET1 ratio of the NLB Group stood at 15.47% (4.92 p.p. above regulatory requirements) and the total capital ratio for the Group stood at 17.78% (2.53 p.p. above regulatory requirements).

Capital simulation show that the capital position of the NLB Group will remain stable and will be sufficient to fully absorb Sberbank Banka d.d. acquisition.

Acquisition will be reflected in RWA increase by approximately 1 bilion EUR which corresponds to decrease of CET1 ratio and Total capital ratio by 1.14 p.p. and 1.31 p.p., respectively.

The capital ratios will be maintained above all regulatory prescribed levels (including P2G) also after acquiring Sberbanka banka d.d. Capital position is expected to be further strengthened when the effect from negative Goodwill will be accounted into capital.

Evaluation of assets and liabilities of Sberbank banka d.d. is subject to further analysis and detailed due dilligence. NLB currently assesses potential fair value adjustements (with potential impact from CHF law included) in an amount between EUR 50 million and EUR 80 million, having an impact on negative goodwill.
