Board of Directors' Semi-annual Management Report as at 30.6.2021

GREEK ECONOMY

Despite an extension of measures to restrict community mobility, a surprisingly weaker than expected recession in economic activity was registered in the first quarter of the current year. According to the latest available data published by ELSTAT, in Q1 2021 real GDP continued to recover by 4.4% on a quarterly basis for the third consecutive quarter (Q3 2020: 3.8%; Q4 2020: 3.4%), while contracting on an annual basis by only 2.3% y-o-y. The negative impact of reduced household spending due to the lockdown and the decline in exports of goods and services was significantly mitigated by the substantial rise in business investment and public consumption, primarily related to the fiscal stimulus engineered by the Greek government.

Specifically, private consumption declined by 4.9% y-o-y, contributing by -3.4 pps to the overall drop in real GDP, while public consumption rose by 4.9% y-o-y on the back of the handouts provided by the Greek government, contributing 0.9 pps. Gross fixed capital formation rose by 8.6% y-o-y, contributing to real GDP change by 0.9 pps, with inventories (including statistical discrepancies) contributing 2.3 pps. Finally, net exports contributed -3 pps to the overall fall in real activity, as the annual decline of 13.4% in exports outpaced the decline in imports by 5% y-o-y.

The European Commission (European Economic Forecast, Summer 2021) projects a recovery by 4.3% in 2021 and further increase by 6.0% in 2022. Similarly, the latest projections by the Bank of Greece included in the Monetary Policy Report, June 2021, foresee a partial rebound in 2021 by 4.2% in 2021 and increase by 5.3% in 2022.

Domestic economic activity is expected to bounce back in 2021, re-entering a strong recovery phase marked by the attraction of fresh investment and closing of the investment gap accumulated during the previous decade. Real GDP is expected to return to positive growth rates from the second quarter of the current year onwards, which is already reflected in the evolution of several leading economic indicators.

Mobility related to retail services and recreation activities, as well as in transit stations and workplaces increased sharply during the second quarter (from -54.7, -50.9 and -34.8 in Q1 to -15.9, -22.6 and -21 in Q2, respectively). This upward trend in community mobility indices coincides to a large extent with the upward course of the Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI), which increased to 105.1 points in Q2 from 93.2 points in Q1.

More specifically, the Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI) stood at 108.7 points in June 2021, recording a marginal increase compared to the previous month (108.6 points). It is noted that, in June, the ESI in the EU-27 stood at 117.0 points, while the corresponding index in the Eurozone countries stood at 117.9 points.

The average Overall Industrial Production Index for the period of January - May 2021 increased by 9.8% on an annual basis, compared to a decrease by 4.5% in the corresponding period of 2020. The manufacturing sector increased, in the same period, by 8.9%. The Purchasing Managers΄ Index (PMI), stood at 58.6 points in June 2021, up from 58.0 in May 2021, which is the strongest improvement since April 2000.

Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) funding, which may prove to be solid ground for a strong upside, is expected to create a virtuous circle of fresh investment and sustainable growth rates. National Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) funds are expected to mobilise new investments of around EUR 57.5 billion in 2021-2026, covering to a large extent the investment gap in Greece that had been created in the previous decade. The RRF, combined with improved creditworthiness, will pave the way for the transformation of the Greek growth model from consumption-led to investment-driven.

Furthermore, the Greek government has already planned a structural reform agenda, which, combined with an improved debt risk profile, is expected to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).

The National Recovery and Resilience Plan, combined with funding from other European programmes and structural

funds comes at a particularly favourable time. Several structural changes are taking place at the same time, shaping a balance of risk skewed to the upside. The crisis caused by the pandemic has accelerated the implementation of technological solutions and developments. At the same time, it triggered dynamic fiscal and monetary policy interventions aimed at supporting global demand.

In 2020, fiscal stimulus succeeded in partially alleviating the costs of the pandemic. Fiscal support is expected to remain in place in 2021, as the government has adopted additional fiscal measures estimated at EUR 14 billion, exceeding the earlier 2021 Budget forecast of EUR 7.5 billion policy interventions.

In addition, Greek Government securities are eligible for purchase under the European Central Bank's (ECB) Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme (PEPP), which contributes to the maintenance of low borrowing costs. In 2021, Greece has successfully tapped the international debt capital markets four times: in January, March, May and June, through a 10-year, a 30-year and 5-year bond issuances, as well as, through the reopening of the 10-year bond, respectively, raising in a total of Euro 11.5 billion.

In April 2021, Standard & Poor's upgraded Greece's sovereign credit rating by one notch from BB- to BB while maintaining a positive outlook. In parallel, the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE) General Index recorded an increase in H1 2021, by 9.4%.

According to the tenth Enhanced Surveillance Report for Greece of the European Commission (June 2021), Greek authorities progressed well with reform implementation across a broad range of policy areas, including those that will help manage the socio-economic impact of the pandemic and facilitate the implementation of new public investments.

The contraction of economic activity in 2020 and the measures implemented by the Greek Government in order to address the adverse impact of the pandemic, such as the suspension of VAT and social security contributions, the suspension of solidarity tax in the private sector payable in 2021, the provision of special purpose compensation to the employees in the sectors that have been affected by the pandemic, the support of the unemployed, etc., had a significant impact on the fiscal figures. According to the Enhanced Surveillance Report for Greece (June 2021), Greece's primary deficit monitored reached 7.5% of GDP in 2020 and will reach 7.3% of GDP in 2021 and 0.5% of GDP in 2022, which is closely aligned with the projection of the Greek authorities. Furthermore, General Government Debt is expected to rise to 208.1% in 2021, before following a downward trend in 2022, reaching 200.1% of GDP, as a result, mainly, of the economic recovery.

Despite the heavy toll of the pandemic on domestic economic activity, residential property price growth dynamics remained resilient. According to the latest available provisional data by the Bank of Greece, nominal house prices (new index of apartment prices) remained on an upward trajectory in Q12021, rising by 3.2% y-o-y from 2.5% y-o-y in the previous quarter.

Inflation, based on the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), stood at +0.6% in June 2021, compared to -1.9%, in the same month of 2020. According to the European Commission (European Economic Forecast, Summer 2021), inflation is expected at -0.4% in 2021 and +0.5% in 2022.

The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in April 2021 amounted to 17.0% compared to the downwards revised 15.9% in April 2020 and to the upwards adjusted rate of 16.8% in March 2021. The number of unemployed increased by 4.3%, in April, compared to the same month of 2020, while the employed persons decreased by 4.0%. According to the European Commission (European Economic Forecast, Spring2021), the unemployment rate is expected at 16.3% in 2021 and 16.1% in 2022.

According to the Monetary Policy Report (June 2021) of the Bank of Greece, the profitability result of Greek banks, in the first quarter of 2021, was loss-making, as the improvement in their organic profitability was not enough to cover the operating expenses increase (mainly non-recurring) and additional impairments related to scheduled securitizations. The Capital Adequacy ratio for the Greek banks (total banking system), on a consolidated basis, stood at 15.6% in March 2021, whereas the corresponding Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio reached 13.6%.

Private sector deposits amounted to Euro 169.8 billion in June 2021, of which household deposits stood at Euro 130.6 billion and business deposits were equal to Euro 39.2 billion. The total deposits in the banking system (private sector and General Government deposits) amounted to Euro 179.4 billion in June 2021, recording an annual increase of 12.5%. The increase of "forced" savings (due to lockdown), as well as the increase of "precautionary" savings (due to high uncertainty for the future) of the private sector, contributed to the expansion of the deposit base in 2020 and the first half of 2021.

The outstanding amount of total credit granted to the private sector amounted to Euro 129.9 billion at the end of June 2021, while the annual rate of change stood at +2.3%. More specifically, the annual rate of credit to nonfinancial corporations stood at 6.2% in June 2021, from 10.0% in December 2020. According to the Monetary Policy Report (June 2021) of the Bank of Greece, the continued

strengthening (albeit at a slower pace since February 2021) of credit expansion to non-financial corporations, reflects increased demand for loans, as corporations need bank financing due to the weakening of their revenues. In parallel, Greek banks continued to draw significant resources from the Eurosystem, while they were also facilitated by the supervisory measures of the Single Supervisory Mechanism. In addition, customer deposit inflows were significantly enhanced. The banks continued to lend to the real economy with the support mainly of the Hellenic Development Bank programs.

Following the decline in the outstanding amount of Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) in 2020, there was a marginal increase in the first quarter of 2021. According to the latest data of the Bank of Greece, NPLs at the end of March 2021 amounted to Euro 47.3 billion, from Euro 47.2 billion in December 2020. In terms of key quality indicators of NPLs, the ratio of NPLs to total loans remained high (30.3%) at the end of March 2021. The ratio for the business loans portfolio (27.9%) performed better, compared to the respective ratios for the mortgages (31.1%) and the consumer loans portfolio (47.3%). In terms of sectoral analysis, the ratios of the three sectors with the highest loan outstanding, ie trade, manufacturing and construction, amounted to approximately 32.7%, 26.5% and 36.4%, respectively. In the tourismrelated sectors, such as accommodation and food services, the corresponding ratio was approximately 20.6% and 50.5% respectively.

INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY

The international economy continues to suffer from the negative effects of the Covid-19 pandemic that broke out in early 2020. However, based on the available economic data, it appears that the economic recovery that has begun is not expected to be balanced, as it is linked to the effectiveness of vaccination programs and to the expansionary policies implemented in the fiscal and monetary field, in each country. This recovery will allow the gradual return of the world GDP to pre-pandemic levels. However, some countries will be able to recover faster than others. The reason for the different rate of economic growth is attributed, to a large extent, to the accessibility of vaccines of each country. Advanced economies will lead the world economic recovery, as vaccination programs cover a large percentage of the population, whereas social distancing measures imposed to prevent the spread of Covid-19 disease are being lifted relatively quickly.

Access to vaccination is the key to ending the health crisis and to economic recovery. The unequal distribution of

vaccines not only leaves millions of people vulnerable to the Covid-19 virus, but also allows new variants to occur, which, as they spread, force even countries with high vaccination rates to impose strict measures in order to safeguard public health.

Global GDP shrank by 3.3% in 2020, compared to an increase of 2.8% in 2019, while according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF, World Economic Outlook, April 2021) it is expected to increase by 6.0% in 2021 and by 4.4% in 2022, supported by additional fiscal support in some major economies, the strengthening of vaccination programs and the continued adjustment of economic activity.

The weakening of international trade was significant, the volume of which, according to the Bank of Greece, decreased in 2020 by 8.5% (Monetary Policy 2020-2021, June 2021), due to the decline in trade of goods and services. The IMF (World Economic Outlook, April 2021) forecasts an increase in the volume of international trade by 8.4% in 2021 and 6.5% in 2022.

Rising commodity prices, combined with short-term supply constraints in some manufacturing sectors, have restored expectations of higher levels of inflation in 2021. Global inflation is rising, justified by both rising energy and food prices, as well as, the base effect.

In particular, oil prices have doubled since last autumn, despite the highly volatile environment caused by the second and third waves of the Covid-19 pandemic. More explicitly, oil prices have reached their highest levels since October 2018, amid expectations that demand growth will outstrip supply and that OPEC members and their allies will try to keep their output relatively stable. The ICE Brent crude futures contract was trading at USD 74.78 bbl on June 30, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) was trading at USD 73.30 bbl, resulting in the increase of the price of both types since the beginning of the year, by 45% and 51%, respectively.

The rise in food prices was mainly due to higher costs in international and domestic supply chains but also higher demand, as households were forced to shift costs related to food services (restaurants etc.) to food for home consumption, due to the restrictive measures applied at a national level.

The rise in inflation recorded in the first half of 2021, mainly in advanced economies, is considered temporary. The output gap in economies is expected to keep core inflation low, at least until mid-2022 (Bank of Greece, Monetary Policy 2020-2021, June 2021).

The rapid spread of Covid-19 disease has rapidly worsened

labour market conditions. Despite unprecedented support measures (job retention programs, wage subsidies etc.), unemployment rates rose in 2020, according to the IMF (World Economic Outlook, April 2021) by about 1.5 percentage points above the prior to the pandemic average, both in advanced and emerging economies, as well as in developing economies.

In addition, fiscal support measures in the United States (US) are expected to provide a significant growth boost. The frontloaded stimulus package of fiscal measures amounting to USD 1.9 trillion adopted on March 10, 2021, is expected to boost the world GDP by about 1 percentage point (OECD Economic Outlook, Volume 2021, Issue 1). All economies will benefit from the increase of demand in the US, as it is expected to boost the rate of change in the GDP between 0.5 and 1 percentage point in Canada and Mexico and between 0.25 and 0.5 percentage point in the Euro area, Japan and China.

China, the only major economy to escape recession in 2020, will lead the way, according to the OECD, with strong economic growth of 8.5% in 2021 (OECD Economic Outlook, Volume 2021, Issue 1), representing more than one-third of the projected global growth for 2021.

It is worth noting that the most important factor that is expected to influence the recovery of the international economy is the production and distribution of vaccines. Their rapid distribution in the countries and the vaccination of a sufficient number of citizens can give greater impetus to the economic recovery. On the contrary, delays in the distribution of vaccines, combined with the adoption of new restrictive measures, due to new variants of coronavirus, pose the risk of an anemic economic recovery.

Additional factors that could negatively affect the outlook for the international economy are the new US President's trade policy with China, the further straining of US relations with Iran, geopolitical tensions in various areas of the planet and climate change.

Economic recovery at a national level will depend on the specific characteristics of each country, while the success or failure of large economies will greatly affect the prospects of emerging and low-income economies. A change in monetary policy in advanced economies due to a faster recovery rate could lead to negative changes in the financing conditions of emerging economies, causing capital outflows.

In the US, GDP fell by 3.5% in 2020, but increased significantly by 6.4% (on an annual basis) in the first quarter of 2021, due to the rapid increase in the number of people vaccinated against Covid-19 and the normalization of economic activity.

The labour market recovery continued during the first half of 2021, with the unemployment rate falling to 5.9% in June, compared to 11.1% in June 2020. However, it is emphasized that the unemployment rate is much higher than prepandemic levels (2019: 3.7%).

According to the European Commission (Spring 2021 Economic Forecast), GDP in the US is estimated to grow by 6.3% in 2021 and by 3.8% in 2022, while inflation is expected to increase from 1.2% in 2020 to 2.2% in 2021. As already mentioned, the contribution to the growth momentum of the fiscal stimulus packages announced by the US government will be significant.

It is noted that the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic forced the Federal Reserve to cut its key interest rate in the range of 0-0.25% in March 2020, in a coordinated move with the other G7 central banks. At the same time, it has taken steps to facilitate the flow of credit to the economy through monthly purchases of USD 120 billion in securities.

EUROZONE

In 2020, the economy has shown resilience to the negative effects of the pandemic crisis. The appearance of the third wave of the pandemic caused the contraction of GDP in the first quarter of 2021, which, however, proved to be marginal (-0.3% on a quarterly basis) and milder than expected. The declining number of new infections and hospitalizations, due to the effectiveness of the restrictive measures and the progress of the vaccination programs, has led the European Union Member States to reopen their economies, mainly for the benefit of service companies. An important development is the recovery of consumption, which has already begun and is expected to strengthen in the coming months. The recent adoption of the new digital vaccination certificate of the European Union will play a positive role in boosting tourism activity. The above factors are expected to offset the rising costs of parts of the manufacturing sector.

The European Commission (Summer 2021 Interim Economic Forecast) forecasts growth of 4.8% in 2021 and 4.5% in 2022, compared to a recession of 6.5% in 2020, with private consumption being the driving force, while investment and exports are projected to record stronger momentum.

Inflation, as measured by the harmonized index of consumer prices, is projected to increase from 0.3% in 2020, to 1.9% in 2021 (European Commission, Summer 2021 Interim Economic Forecast), due to higher commodity and oil prices, as well as shortages of specific raw materials.

The unemployment rate in the Eurozone stood at 7.9% in May 2021, the lowest level recorded in 12 months, indicating that employment support measures taken by national governments partially offset the increase in job losses. Unemployment is projected to rise to 8.2% in 2021 to fall to 7.9% by 2022 (European Central Bank, June 2021).

The European Central Bank (ECB) has adopted a highly expansionary monetary policy, implementing unconventional measures to support national economies and the Euro area banking system. On March 18, 2020, it announced the implementation of a Pandemic Emergency Purchase Program (PEPP) totaling Euro 1.85 trillion, at least until the end of March 2022. The amounts from the repayment of securities acquired under this program will be reinvested, at least, up to the end of 2023. At the same time, net purchases will continue, under the asset purchase program (APP), by Euro 20 billion, per month, while the purchases of assets, under the APP program, will be carried out for as long as it is necessary, in order to enhance the easing effect of ECB's policy rates. In addition, the ability of banks to access liquidity on extremely favorable terms, through TLTRO III (targeted longer-term refinancing operations), which offer the possibility of long-term loans to banks in exchange for increasing lending to corporates and consumers, was a breath of fresh air for small and medium-sized companies in the Euro area. However, a review of the European Central Bank's single monetary policy strategy is under way.

The European Commission has taken important initiatives to address the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic crisis. The adoption, in July 2020, of the "Next Generation EU (NGEU)" program, i.e. of a Development Fund (or Recovery Fund), amounting to Euro 750 billion, with the aim of recovering and strengthening the resilience of the European economy after the pandemic crisis, through a combination of grants and loans to the Member States of the European Union is an important step towards the European integration. This program is part of the European Union Budget for the period 2021-2027, the total amount of which is Euro 1.8 trillion. A significant part of the resources will be directed to actions focused on the green and digital transitions. The first disbursement of the funds under the "New Generation EU" program took place in early August amounting to Euro 4 billion, equivalent to 13% of the country's grant and loan allocation under the RRF."

COUNTRIES WHERE THE BANK OPERATES

Cyprus

Economic activity in Cyprus, according to the available data from the Statistical Authority (CYSTAT), shrank by 1.6% (annual change, seasonally adjusted figures) in the first

quarter of 2021, against a decrease of 4.4% in the fourth quarter of 2020.

The European Commission (Summer 2021 Interim Economic Forecast) estimates GDP growth rate to stand at 4.3% in 2021 and by 3.8% in 2022. The recovery is expected to be mainly based on private consumption and the increased tourist arrivals. It is noted, however, that tourism will not recover immediately to the pre-pandemic levels.

Annual harmonised inflation in the first five months of 2021, according to the CYSTAT, stood at 0.3%, while, according to the European Commission (Summer 2021 Interim Economic Forecast), it is forecast to increase to 1.4% in 2021 and 1.3% in 2022 from -1.1% in 2020, due to the rise in energy prices, non-energy industrial goods and services prices.

Although public debt increased significantly from 94% in 2019, to 118.2% in 2020, due to fiscal measures to support the economy, it is expected to fall to 112.2% in 2021 and further to 106.6% in 2022 (European Commission, Spring 2021 Economic Forecast).

The current account deficit, according to the Central Bank of Cyprus, increased to EUR 922 million in the first quarter of 2021, from EUR 751.5 million in the corresponding period of the previous year, due to the significant deterioration of the primary income balance, despite the increase in the services surplus.

According to the European Commission (Spring 2021 Economic Forecast), the current account deficit is expected to decline from 11.8% of GDP in 2020, to 11% in 2021 and 8.9% in 2022.

Romania

GDP, according to available data from the Statistical Authority (INSSE), marginally increased by 0.1%, on an annual basis, in the first quarter of 2021 (seasonally adjusted figures), compared with a drop by 2% in the fourth quarter of 2020.

According to the European Commission (Summer 2021 Interim Economic Forecast), GDP is expected to increase by 7.4% in 2021, recording the strongest GDP growth rate among EU member states. Private consumption and investment are expected to perform strongly, while net exports are forecast to have a negative contribution to GDP, despite the expected increase in exports. Regarding 2022, the European Commission estimates GDP growth rate to increase by 4.9%.

Annual harmonised inflation in the first semester of 2021, according to INSSE, stood at 2.7%, while the European Commission (Summer 2021 Interim Economic Forecast)

predicts that harmonised inflation will rise from 2.3% in 2020 to 3.2% in 2021 and 2.9% in 2022.

According to the European Commission (Spring 2021 Economic Forecast), the government debt-to-GDP ratio is estimated to increase from 47.3% in 2020, to 49.7% in 2021 and to rise further to 52.7% in 2022, due to high primary budget deficits.

Additionally, the current account deficit increased by 107%, on an annual basis, to EUR 4.71 billion, in the period January-April 2021, according to the Central Bank of Romania (BNR). Significant deterioration, over Euro 2 billion, was recorded in the balances of goods and primary incomes, while the surpluses of the balances of secondary incomes and services decreased.

Albania

According to the available data of the Statistical Authority (INSTAT), GDP contracted by 5.5%, on an annual basis, in the first quarter of 2021, compared to an increase of 2.4% in the fourth quarter of 2020 (non-seasonally adjusted data). Overall, for 2021, the European Commission (Spring 2021 Economic Forecast) estimates GDP to rise by 4%, mainly due to increased investment, private consumption and exports of goods.

United Kingdom

GDP shrank by 6.1%, on an annual basis, in the first quarter of 2021, compared with a decrease of 7.3% in the fourth quarter of 2020 (seasonally adjusted figures). Private consumption and investment contributed negatively to the change in GDP in the first quarter, while public consumption and net exports contributed positively, as the annual rate of decrease in imports was higher than that of exports. In the coming quarters of the year, a significant recovery of economic activity is expected, as during the second quarter, the rapid rate of vaccinations implementation allowed the lifting of most of the containment measures imposed. Overall, for 2021, the European Commission (Spring 2021 Economic Forecast) predicts GDP to increase by 5%. It is noted that, in 2020, the UK economy took one of the

strongest blows among the world's major economies, as according to the European Commission, GDP shrank by 9.8%, confirming the prediction of the Bank of England that in 2020 the economy will experience the worst recession in 300 years.

The Bank of England maintained during the first semester of 2021 the highly expansive monetary policy adopted in 2020, in an effort to mitigate the negative effects of the pandemic crisis. In particular, it kept its base rate to the historically low level of 0.10%, while the asset purchase programme, which amounts to GBP 895 billion and is primarily focused on the sovereign bond market, remained unchanged. With regard to 2022, GDP is projected to increase by 5.3%, while it is expected to return to the pre-pandemic levels in the third quarter of the year (European Commission, Spring 2021 Economic Forecast).

treatment of respective transactions, the Bank has adopted an accounting policy according to which, the transfer of assets and liabilities to the new Bank takes place at the book values of these items in the books of the existing Bank as at April 16, 2021.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group has established a framework of thorough management of risks, based on best practice and supervisory requirements. This framework, based on the common European legislation and the current system

of common banking rules, principles and standards, is improving continuously over time in order to be applied in a coherent and effective way in the daily conduct of the Bank's activities within and across borders, and making the corporate governance of the Bank effective.

The main objective of the Group during the first semester of 2021 was to maintain the high quality internal corporate governance and compliance, within the regulatory and supervisory provisions on risk management, in order to ensure confidence in the conduct of its business activities through sound provision of financial services.

Since November 2014, the Group falls within the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) - the financial supervision system which involves the European Central Bank and the Bank of Greece - and as a major banking institution is directly supervised by the European Central Bank. The Single Supervisory Mechanism is working with the European Banking Authority (EBA), the European Parliament, the Eurogroup, the European Commission and the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) within their respective competences.

Moreover, since January 1st, 2014, the EU Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council dated June 26, 2013 along with the EU Regulation 575/2013/EU dated June 26, 2013 ("CRD IV"), are effective. The Directive and the Regulation gradually introduce the new capital adequacy framework (Basel III) of credit institutions, as amended with the Directive 2019/878 and the Regulation 2019/876.

In this regulatory and supervisory risk management framework, Group continuously strengthens its internal governance and its risk management strategy, in order to achieve full compliance within the increased regulatory requirements and the extensive guidelines. The initiatives are related to the governance of data risks, the collection of such data and their integration in the required reports of the management and supervisory authorities.

The Group's approach constitutes a solid foundation for the continuous redefinition of Risk Management strategy through (a) the determination of the extent to which the Bank is willing to undertake risks (risk appetite), (b) the assessment of potential impacts of activities in the development strategy by defining the risk management limits, so that the relevant decisions to combine the anticipated profitability with the potential losses and (c) the development of appropriate procedures for the implementation of this strategy through a mechanism which allocates risk management responsibilities and accountability between the Bank units.

More specifically, the Group, taking into account the nature, the scale and the complexity of its activities and risk profile, has developed a risk management strategy based on the following three lines of defense, which are the key factors for its efficient operation:

  • Business Units of retail, wholesale, wealth banking and NPEs Remedial Management, constitute the first line of defense and risk 'ownership' which identifies and manages the risks that arise when conducting banking business.
  • Risk management, monitoring and control and regulatory compliance Units, which are independent from each other as well as from the first line of defense. They constitute the second line of defense and their function is complementary in conducting banking business of the first line of defense in order to ensure the objectivity in decision-making process, to measure the effectiveness of these decisions in terms of risk conditions and to comply with the existing legislative and institutional framework, by monitoring the internal regulations and ethical standards as well as the total view and evaluation of the total exposure of the Bank and the Group to risk, based on established guidelines.
  • Internal Audit, constitutes the third line of defense. Internal Audit is an independent function, reporting to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, and audits the internal control activities of the Bank and the Group, including the Risk Management function.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk arises from the potential weakness of debtors or counterparties to meet all or part of their payment obligations to the Group.

The primary objective of the Group's strategy for credit risk management, in order to achieve the maximization of the adjusted to risk performance is the continuous, timely and systematic monitoring of the loan portfolio and the maintenance of credit risks within the framework of acceptable overall risk limits. At the same time, the conduct of daily business within a clearly defined framework of granting credit is ensured.

The framework of the Group's credit risk management is developed based on a series of credit policy procedures, systems and models for measuring, monitoring and validating credit risk. These models are subject to an ongoing review process on order to ensure full compliance with the current institutional and regulatory framework and their adaptation to the respective economic conditions and to the nature and extent of the Group's business.

Under this perspective and with main objective to further strengthen and improve the credit risk management framework during the first semester of 2021, the following actions have been implemented:

  • Update of Credit Policy Manuals for Wholesale Banking and Retail Banking in Greece and abroad, taking into account the supervisory guidelines for credit risk management issues and the Group's business strategy.
  • Continuous strengthening of the second line of defense control mechanisms in order to ensure compliance with Credit Risks Policies at Bank and Group level, focusing on the management of the Bank and the Group's Customers who have been affected by the crisis due to Covid-19.
  • Ongoing validation of the risk models in order to ensure their accuracy, reliability, stability and predictive capacity.
  • Update of the Concentration Risk and Credit Threshold Policy which includes the principles and procedures that the Bank follows so as to manage the concentration risk, at Sector and Borrower/ Group of Borrowers level in the context of the Bank's participation in the Hellenic Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).
  • Support for borrowers with short-term liquidity constraints due to the pandemic Covid-19, based on the Bank's participation in broader government schemes during 2021. These schemes allow the Bank to provide liquidity to performing borrowers at favourable financing terms, while taking on materially lower risk, thus containing the impact of the crisis on credit quality deterioration.
  • Amendment of the Group Loan Impairment Policy, regarding the Forbearance Classification, the Unlikelinessto-pay (UTP) assessment, the identification of Default and the Significant Increase in Credit Risk identification criteria of exposures under payment moratoria due to Covid-19 pandemic, since the respective EBA Guidelines "on legislative and non-legislative moratoria on loan repayments applied in the light of the Covid-19 crisis" (EBA/GL/2020/02) are not applicable from 1.4.2021 onwards.
  • Establishment of the Group Default Classification Policy, which describes the general framework of the Definition of Default, incorporates the main definitions related to the Default identification and the NPE classification and additionally, it is used for the purposes of IFRS 9 implementation, in line with the regulatory requirements deriving from the Guidelines on the application of the Definition of Default under Article 178 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (EBA GL/2016/07), applicable by the January 1st, 2021.

  • Accomplishment of the Project for compliance with the EBA Guidelines on loan origination and monitoring (EBA/GL/2020/06). The guidelines are applicable from 30 June 2021 and apply to institutions' internal governance arrangement and procedures in relation to credit-granting processes, and throughout the life cycle of credit facilities. Furthermore, these guidelines apply to the risk management practices, policies, processes and procedures for loan origination and monitoring of performing exposures, and their integration into the risk management frameworks.

  • Implementation of the digitalization of retail credit decisioning framework project, through all retail banking product distribution channels.
  • Periodic stress test exercises as a tool for assessing the impact of various macroeconomic scenarios on business strategy formulation, business decisions and the Group's capital position. Crisis simulation exercises are conducted in accordance with the requirements of the supervisory framework and constitute a key component of the Group's credit risk management strategy.

Additionally, the following actions are in progress in order to enhance and develop the internal system of credit risk management:

  • Continuous upgrade of databases for performing statistical tests in the Group's credit risk rating models.
  • Upgrade and automation of the aforementioned process in relation to the Wholesale and Retail banking by using specialized statistical software.
  • Reinforcing the completeness and quality control mechanism of crucial fields of Wholesale and Retail Credit for monitoring, measuring and controlling of the credit risk.
  • A project for the transition from the existing Rating Systems to the new, single and efficient Group Credit Rating Platform, of Moody's company.

CLIMATE-RELATED, ENVIRONMENTAL - SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) RISKS

The Group acknowledging the potential implications of climate change in economic activity, which in turn affects the financial system, performed from October 2020 to January 2021 a self-assessment of its practices for the management of climate, environmental, social and governance risks considering the supervisory guidelines for the management of these risks. The respective selfassessment was submitted to ECB in February 2021.

Based on the gaps identified, the Group has developed a comprehensive action plan, submitted to ECB in May 2021.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity Risk comprises both funding liquidity risk and asset liquidity risk, although these two dimensions of liquidity risk are closely related. Funding Liquidity risk refers to the inability of a financial institution to raise the cash necessary to roll over its debt, fulfill the cash, margin, or collateral requirements of counterparties; or to meet capital withdrawals. Asset – market liquidity risk, results from the Bank's failure to recognize or address changes in market conditions that affect the ability to liquidate assets quickly and with minimal loss in value.

During the first semester of 2021, customer deposits increased by Euro 1.6 billion. This is an 3.78% increase compared to 31.12.2020. Greek Government deposits, which are monitored separately, decreased by Euro 0.4 billion in the first half of 2021, thus amounted to null 30.6.2021.

During the first semester of 2021, the subsidiaries continued to enjoy increased liquidity. Their buffer on 30.6.2021 stood at the level Euro 0.901 billion for Cyprus and Euro 0.516 billion for Romania.

The announcements of the European Central Bank, on the dates 7.4.2020, 22.4.2020 and 10.12.2020, regarding a broad set of policy measures, in order to mitigate the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic, are still in force. Among these measures was the waiver to accept Greek sovereign debt instruments as collateral in Eurosystem credit operations. Greek Treasury Bills and Greek Government Bonds, are eligible to be used as collateral for ECB financing, even though they do not meet minimum ECB rating requirements. According to ECB, these measures recognize the recent progress achieved by the Hellenic Republic and the Greek banking system from the economic fallout of the pandemic, and helps funding access across the euro area.

Already from 24.6.2020, the Bank participated in the TLTRO III program which provides long-term financing with a conventional negative interest rate -0.5%. It is noted that the financing rate of this program can be set at -1% for the period from June 2020 to June 2022, provided that specific goals have achieved, regarding the amount of the Bank's loans granted for individual periods. In particular:

• If the amount of loans granted under the program, for the period March 2020 - March 2021, remains at the levels of March 2020, the interest rate will be -1% for the period June 2020 - June 2021 and -0.5% for the remaining duration of the financing.

• In addition, if the loans granted for the period October 2020 - December 2021 remain at the levels of October 2020, the borrowing rate can be set at -1% for the period June 2021 - June 2022.

Moreover, following the announcement of 10.12.2020, three additional dates for participation in this program were added (June, September and December 2021) and the borrowing allowance under TLTRO III was increased from 50% to 55% of eligible loans.

In this context, the Bank's financing from the Eurosystem, which stood at Euro 12.9 billion on 30.6.2021, increased compared to 31.12.2020 by 1 billion. Through the financing of this program, the Bank managed to extend the duration of long-term financing, as well as to improve the pricing conditions in relation to the repurchase agreements which increased by Euro 0.25 billion during the first semester of 2021.

In order to ensure that the Banks are prepared to confront the crisis of the pandemic of Covid-19, Single Supervisory Mechanism requested an exceptional liquidity monitoring exercise conducted on a monthly basis. From this exercise, SSM has not up to this point identified any specific issues.

In the context of the Internal liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process, the Bank reviewed the policies and procedures of the liquidity stress test scenarios.

The interbank financing (short, medium to long-term) and the Early Warning Indicators of the Bank, and of Group's subsidiaries are monitored on a daily basis, and analysis is performed in order to capture daily variations.

Taking into consideration the instability of the Greek economy and the new conditions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, liquidity stress test are conducted on a regular basis in order to assess potential outflows (contractual or contingent). The purpose of this process is to determine whether the existing liquidity buffer is adequate in order to cover Bank needs. These exercises are carried out in accordance with the approved Liquidity Buffer and Liquidity Stress Scenario Group policies.

INTEREST RATE RISK IN THE BANKING BOOK

Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB) is the risk that examines how a change in base interest rates (i.e. Euro swap curve) will affect Net Interest Income of the Bank and the Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities (Economic Value of Equity). During the first semester of 2021, interest rate risk of the banking book remained at relatively low levels and within risk appetite framework limits. This also includes subsidiary level limits. The change in net interest income and the change in economic value of equity, which results from a change in base interest rates, are calculated for internal and prudential stress scenarios on a regular basis. The relevant IRRBB stress results are presented to Treasury and Balance Sheet Management Committee, Asset Liability Management Committee, and Board Risk Management Committee.

The system used for IRRBB analysis is Sendero Data Management and Asset Liability Management system. The Bank finalized the upgrading of Sendero to a newer version which is on production from January 2021.

The new upgraded version gave the opportunity to incorporate the budget forecasting in the Sendero system in order to analyze dynamically the Gaps, the forecasting Net Interest Income and Economic Value of the Banking Book. Furthermore, it gave the opportunity to create the Gaps on fair value terms and estimate the medium-long interest rate risk.

Finally, the automated process of inclusion foreign Subsidiaries in the Sendero system has been finalized for Alpha Bank Cyprus & Alpha Bank Romania. This resulted in better data quality for the subsidiaries due to the automated incorporation of their data into the aforementioned system.

IBOR reform

The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), one of the main and most important interest rate benchmarks used in global financial markets will cease to exist or will be non-representative after the end of 2021. The Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom (FCA) announced on 5 March 2021 that LIBOR panel Bank Submissions will cease immediately after 31 December 2021 for all GBP, EUR, CHF, JPY settings as well as for the 1-week and 2-month USD settings. The FCA also announced that the remaining LIBOR settings for USD will cease on 30 June 2023.

Despite its importance, LIBOR's shortcomings have led regulators to opt for a transition away from LIBOR to alternative reference rates known as Risk-Free-Rates (RFRs). National Working Groups were established to develop new rates, based on recommendations of the Financial Stability Board, an international body monitoring the global financial system. Financial Institutions across the globe are now in the process of revising their infrastructure, envisaging a switch by the end of 2021. The changes will affect LIBOR and EONIA (Euro Overnight Index Average) while EURIBOR (Euro Interbank Offered Rate) was fundamentally reformed and compliant with Regulation

(EU) 2016/1011 ("Benchmark Regulation" or "BMR") which has established a common framework to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments.

Alpha Bank is taking all the necessary steps to ensure compliance with the above Regulation. A detailed action plan has been formulated and an internal Working Group has been established with the participation of 25 divisions covering, on a non-exhaustive basis, all the involved areas of the Bank. Each workstream of the working group identifies dependencies to LIBORs and assesses potential amendments in its area of responsibility. A Steering Committee has also been formed that closely monitors the Bank's transition to the new RFRs on a bi-weekly basis, informing the Asset and Liability Management Committee on a monthly basis for the progress and challenges of the transition. The Bank follows in great detail the developments from the National Working Groups in order to address the infrastructure and legal challenges. The Group is actively involved in the industry transition with regulators, central banks and industry bodies, aiming to ensure a smooth transition for its clients. Alpha Bank supports the transition to RFRs and is committed to helping its clients navigate through a world beyond LIBOR.

MARKET, FOREIGN CURRENCY AND COUNTERPARTY RISK

The Group has developed a strong control environment, applying policies and procedures in accordance with the regulatory framework and international best practices, in order to meet business needs involving market and counterparty risk while limiting adverse impact on results and equity. The framework of methodologies and systems for the effective management of those risks is evolving on a continuous basis in accordance with the changing circumstances in the markets and in order to meet customer requirements.

Market risk is the risk of losses arising from unfavorable changes in the price or volatility of products with underlying interest rates, foreign exchange rates, stock exchange indices, equity prices and commodities. The valuation of bonds and derivative positions are monitored on an ongoing basis. Stress tests are conducted on a regular basis using extreme scenarios in order to assess the impact for each scenario on profit and loss and capital adequacy, in the markets where the Group operates.

A detailed structure for trading limits, investment limits and counterparty limits has been adopted and implemented.

This structure involves regularly monitoring trigger events that could signal increased volatility in certain markets. This increased volatility means that a limit decrease is applied in these markets. The limits above are monitored on an ongoing basis and any limit breaches identified are reported officially.

For the mitigation of interest rate and foreign currency risk of the banking portfolio, hedging strategies are applied using derivatives and hedge effectiveness is tested on a regular basis.

During the first semester of 2021 the volatility in the Bond prices was decreased comparing to the volatility at the first semester of 2020, due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

From 01/07/2021 the risk engine KVAR was replaced by MX3, for the calculation of the capital requirements for the general market risk under the IMA and for market risk management purposes.

Furthermore, there is a project in progress in MX3, for the implementation of the calculations of the capital requirements for the market risk under the FRTB-S.A. framework.

OPERATIONAL RISK

Operational Risk is defined as the risk of financial or qualitative negative effects resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, IT systems, people (intentionally or unintentionally) and external events. Operational Risk includes legal risk.

In the context of its capital calculation process for Operational Risk, the Group implements the Standardized Approach and meets all the qualitative criteria required by this Approach.

During the second quarter of year 2021, the Group implemented its Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Risk Management Framework responding to the increased regulatory focus on this Operational Risk category.

Furthermore, the Group continued with the implementation of the new operational risk (GRC) system which is expected to be completed within the fourth quarter of 2021.

The development of Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) as a control monitoring mechanism has been continued at the Group level. Concurrently, the operational risk events management processes have been further strengthened.

In line with the Group's established Operational Risk framework, the Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) procedure is implemented across the Group, according

to the year 2021 annual plan. The RCSA procedure aims to identify and assess risks that may affect the operations and processes of the Banks' Units/Group Companies, recognize potential control gaps, as well as design and implement action plans for their remediation.

The evolution of Operational Risk Events, the RCSA results and all other Operational Risk related issues are closely monitored by the Group's responsible Operational Risk and Internal Control Committees, which are empowered to monitor and review the Group's Operational Risk exposures and ensure that appropriate measures for their mitigation are adopted.

MANAGEMENT OF NON-PERFORMING EXPOSURES (NPES)

The Bank has set as paramount objective the effective management of NPEs, as this will lead not only to the improvement of the Bank's financial strength but also to the restoration of liquidity in the real economy, households and productive business sectors, contributing to the development of the Greek economy in general.

The Bank prepared a revised NPE Business Plan which was submitted on April 2021. In the context of the submission of the new strategic plan for the NPEs, the possibility of their further reduction was evaluated, taking into account the tools that are expected to be available to the banks (e.g. «Hercules II»). At the same time, the Bank is closely monitoring the impact of Covid-19 on the quality of its assets, in order to avoid new non-performing exposures, taking into account the measures announced by the Greek Government.

Moreover, the implementation of the following initiatives is in progress:

  • Through the dedicated unit «Strategy Recovery and Monitoring of NPEs» which was established in October 2020, in order to be responsible for the monitoring of Servicer's performance in relation to the goals set out in the NPE Plan. Furthermore, this unit will be responsible to prevent the new NPEs formation.
  • Governance, policies and operating models through increased oversight and active involvement of the Management and the BoD with clear roles and accountabilities through the relevant Committees.
  • Continuous monitoring of private and public Moratoria in order to secure that there will not be new NPEs formation.
  • Effective human resources management focusing on know-how and training, which is further improved through attracting specialized executives.

  • Strategic joint venture initiative with DoValue in cooperation with the other Greek systemic banks an assignment agreement has been signed for the management of Non-Performing SMEs exposures of approximately Euro 400 million over total SME's exposures of the Greek systemic banks of Euro 1.5 billion approximately. The aim of this common initiative of the Greek systemic banks is to tackle NPEs of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), in cases where the banks have common clients, in coordination and with a uniform credit policy in order to provide common solutions.

  • The ongoing implementation of a uniform management strategy for repossessed real estate properties through the roll out of AREMI, aiming at:
  • Monitoring the repossession procedure (asset on-boarding) and its assignment to the Group's subsidiary Alpha Astika Akinita A.E. or to other appropriate asset management agencies.
  • Monitoring the asset management operations through the Group's special purpose vehicles (SPVs).
  • Supervising and coordinating asset management and development.
  • Supervising and coordinating asset commercialization.
  • Setting and monitoring appropriate Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the asset management agencies (internal units and external collaborators).

The successful implementation of the Bank's NPE Strategy is affected by a number of external/systemic factors that include, among others, the following:

  • Improvement of the economic environment at post Covid-19 era. Measures for individuals and small businesses are in place in order to reduce the economic impact from the pandemic.
  • Restart of legal actions after their suspension due to Covid-19, to support liquidations and serve as a credible enforcement tool for non-cooperative borrowers.
  • Acceleration of Household Insolvency Law (L.3869/2010) court hearings, through the e-platform that have been created for this purpose.
  • The enforcement of new Insolvency Code (L.4738/2020) will be in place within the second half of 2021. The New Insolvency Code aims to tackle the private debt not only for entities but also for

individuals, accelerating the procedures in order any case to be settled. It has to be mentioned that the new insolvency code transpose into Greek Law, the Directive (EU) 2019/1023 of the European parliament regarding preventive restructuring frameworks and discharge of debt. The efficiency of new insolvency code presupposes that there is in place the appropriate digital infrastructure and also the issuance of all the laws that will clarify the provisions of Insolvency code. The aforementioned procedure is in progress.

The Bank's full commitment towards the active management and reduction of NPEs over the Business Plan period is reinforced through the constant review and calibration of the Bank's strategies, products, and processes to the evolving macroeconomic environment.

In addition to the established initiatives to accelerate the reduction of its distressed portfolio, the "Project Galaxy" was completed in the Q2 2021 aiming to decisively reduce NPEs through a large-scale transaction within a comfortable capital envelope. The main parts of the abovementioned initiative were the following:

  • i. Front-loaded, substantial NPE reduction through a large securitization of Retail and Wholesale NPEs, making use of the Hercules Asset Protection Scheme (HAPS), resulting to immediate de-risking of the balance sheet (see chapter «Prospects for the future»).
  • ii. Carve-out of current NPE platform and outsourcing of servicing to the affiliated entity Cepal Hellas, to serve as the carve-out vehicle, that was sold to a 3rd party investor Davidson Kempner.

The Bank aims in creating a market-leading servicer by combining the capabilities of Alpha Bank's and Cepal's servicing platforms. The servicer (hereinafter "New Cepal") benefits from an appropriate execution capacity and a management team with significant experience in NPE management.

Following the creation of the "New Cepal", Davidson Kempner who acquired a controlling stake of the new company and the Bank entered into long-term SLA for the servicing of its Core NPEs. In addition to core and noncore portfolios as well as third party investor portfolios, "New Cepal" will also be able to service newly acquired portfolios in the future.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

The Group's (Alpha Services and Holdings S.A.) Capital Strategy commits to maintain sound capital adequacy both from economic and regulatory perspective. It aims at monitoring and adjusting Group's capital levels, taking into consideration capital markets' demand and supply, in an effort to achieve the optimal balance between the economic and regulatory considerations.

The overall Group's Risk and Capital Strategy sets specific risk limits, based on management's risk appetite, as well as thresholds to monitor whether actual risk exposure deviates from the limits set.

The objectives of the Group's capital management policy are to ensure that the Group has sufficient capital to cover the risks of its business, to support its strategy and to comply with regulatory capital requirements, at all times.

1. Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP)

On 28 December 2020, the ECB informed the Bank that according to its Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) since 31st January 2021 the minimum limit for the Overall Capital Requirement (OCR) remains unchanged from 2020 at 14%. The OCR also includes the Pillar 2 requirement (P2R) of 3.0%.

2. Measures for Covid-19.

As the economic effects of the coronavirus (Covid-19) started becoming apparent, the ECB, the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Commission (EC), announced a number of measures to ensure that the banks they supervise will continue to fulfil their role in funding the real economy. Specifically, starting from March 2020, the ECB and the EBA announced the following relaxation measures for the minimum capital requirements for Banks in the Eurozone:

  • Banks are temporarily allowed to operate below the level of capital defined by the Capital Conservation Buffer and the Countercyclical Buffer. In addition, on July 2020, the ECB announced through a press release that financial institutions are allowed to operate below the aforementioned thresholds at least up to the end of 2022. Furthermore, the change expected οn January 2021 under CRD V regarding the composition of the Pillar 2 requirement (P2R) buffer was brought forward allowing the (P2R) to be covered by Additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital by 18.75% and Tier 2 (T2) capital by 25% and not only by CET 1.
  • In parallel ECB issued a recommendation to banks to limit the payment of dividends and share buy-backs. According to a press release issued by the ECB on 23 July 2021 this recommendation remains applicable until 30 September 2021. In addition, on 23 July 2021, the ECB announced that it expects that banks will adopt

a prudent and forward-looking approach when deciding on remuneration policies.

The European Commission decided to revise the existing regulatory framework by bringing forward regulations that would normally come with the CRR2/CRDV framework as well as provide a greater flexibility to the phase-in of the impact of the IFRS 9 on capital. The revised framework was published in the Official Journal of the European Union as at June 22, 2020.

In 26 June 2020, the Bank of Greece under an Executive Committee Act determined the capital buffer of systemically important institutions (O-SII) at 0.50%, maintaining stable for 2021 and extending consequently the existing phasing-in period. The third and the fourth phases have been delayed by 12 months each and will apply starting from 1 January 2022 and 1 January 2023 respectively. This decision is in the context of the response to Covid-19 pandemic in order to mitigate the subsequent financial impact.

In 22 December 2020, the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/2176 of 12 November 2020, amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 241/2014 concerning the deduction of software assets from CET1 items, was published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

3. IFRS 9 Capital Impact

Regarding the International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9), the Bank makes use of Article 473a of the Regulation No 2395/2017 of the European Parliament and of the Council amended by EU Regulation 873/2020, and applies the transitional provisions for the calculation of Capital Adequacy on both a standalone and consolidated basis. The Bank is adequately capitalized to meet the needs arising from the application of the Standard, which will be fully implemented at 2025. The impact from the full implementation is estimated at approximately 2.2% and the CET1 ratio would stand at 10.6% as of 30.6.2021, for the Group.

4. Capital Ratios

At 30.6.2021, the Group's Common Equity Tier I capital (CET I) stood at Euro 4,9 billion, RWAs amounted to Euro 38.1 billion, resulting in a CET1 ratio of 12.8%, down by 447 bps versus 31.12.2020, affected mainly by Galaxy transaction and the application of IFRS 9 transitional arrangements for the first half of 2021.

As part of its capital management strategy during 2021 Alpha Services and Holdings S.A successfully completed:

  • The placement of a Euro 500 million Tier 2 bond on March 4, 2021. The bond was placed with institutional investors aiming to maintain its strong capital ratios and ample buffers over applicable requirements. The subordinated bond has a 10.25-year maturity and is callable anytime between year 5 and year 5.25 with a coupon of 5.5%. The bond is listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange – Euro MTF Market.
  • The Share Capital Increase of c. € 800 mln. on July 2nd 2021, further enhancing its Capital Ratios

5. Deferred Tax Assets (DTAs)

Deferred Tax Assets (DTAs) at 30.6.2021 stood at Euro 5.3 billion. According to article 5 of Law 4303/17.10.2014 as amended by article 4 of Law 4340/1.11.2015 «Recapitalization of financial institutions and other provisions of the Ministry of Finance» deferred tax assets that have been recognized and are due to the debit difference arising from the PSI and the accumulated provisions and other general losses due to credit risk, which were accounted until 30.6.2015, are converted into final and settled claims against the Greek State. The above mentioned are set into force in case the accounting result for the period after taxes is a loss, according to the audited and approved by the Ordinary Shareholders' General Meeting financial statements.

In accordance with article 39 of CRR 575/2013 of the European Parliament and its Council, on precautionary requirements supervision for credit institutions and investment companies and the amendment of CRR 648/2012, a risk weight of 100% will be applied to the above-mentioned deferred tax assets that may be converted into tax credit, instead of being deducted from regulatory capital.

On 30.6.2021, the amount of deferred tax assets which is eligible to the scope of the aforementioned Law for the Bank and the Group and is included in Common Equity Tier I amounts to Euro 2.96 billion and constitutes 60.9% of the Group's Common Equity Tier I and 7.8% of the respective weighted assets.

Any change in the above framework that will result in the non-recognition of deferred tax assets as a tax credit will have an adverse effect on the Bank's and Group's capital adequacy.

6. Capital Requirements under Pillar I

The approaches adopted for the calculation of the capital requirements under Pillar I are determined by the policy of the Group in conjunction with factors such as the

nature and type of risks the Group undertakes, the level and complexity of the Group's business and other factors such as the degree of readiness of the information and software systems.

Capital Requirements for Credit Risk are calculated using the Standardized Approach (STA). The advanced method is used for the valuation of financial collaterals. For the Operational Risk capital requirements, the Group follows the Standardized Approach (STA). For the Market Risk the Bank uses a Value at Risk (VaR) model developed at a bank level for the significant exposures and approved by the Bank of Greece. Additionally, the Bank uses the Standardized approach to calculate Market Risk for the remaining, non-significant exposures.

7. EU-Wide 2021 Stress test

Following the postponement of the 2020 Stress Test due to the outbreak of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) and its global spread, the European Banking Authority (EBA) launched the 2021 EU-wide Stress Test on 29 January 2021. 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). The exercise will be used as an input in the Supervisory Evaluation Process (SREP). The results of the exercise were published on 30 July 2021. According to the results Alpha Services and Holdings (Group) successfully concluded the 2021 EU-wide Stress Test under both scenarios. More specifically:

  • Under the baseline scenario, the capital generation for the 3-year period was 2.8% fully absorbing 2.4% IFRS 9 phase-in, resulting in 2023 to a CET1 fully loaded ratio of 17.3% while the 2023 Leverage ratio (fully loaded) came to 13.0%.
  • Under the adverse scenario, the 2023 CET1 fully loaded ratio stood at 8.3%, largely driven by the negative impact of Credit Risk, with the lowest point of CET1 fully loaded at 8.1%, in 2022. The 2023 Leverage ratio (fully loaded) resulted in 6.1%.
  • The Stress Test methodology does not take into account capital strengthening (i.e. Tier II issuance, Share Capital Increase) and balance sheet de-risking (i.e. Galaxy transaction), events post December 31st, 2020. Pro-forma1 with the Share Capital Increase for the baseline scenario, the 2023 CET1 fully loaded ratio reached 19.1%, while the 2023 Leverage ratio (fully loaded) came to 14.4%. Under the adverse scenario, the 2023 CET1 fully loaded ratio stood at 10.2%, while the 2023 Leverage ratio (fully loaded) came to 7.6%.

INTERNAL CAPITAL ADEQUACY ASSESSMENT PROCESS (ICAAP) AND INTERNAL LIQUIDITY ADEQUACY ASSESSMENT PROCESS (ILAAP)

The ICAAP and ILAAP processes are an integral part of the Internal Control System (ICS) of the Group. They are aligned with the best practices and the general principles and requirements set by the regulatory Framework, including the guidelines provided by SSM and/ or EBA. These guidelines allow for:

  • The identification, analysis, monitoring and the overall assessment of risks to capital and liquidity.
  • The improvement of various systems/ procedures/ policies related to the assessment and management of risks.
  • The estimation of the necessary level of Internal Capital required for the coverage of all risks and the determination, management and monitoring of the liquidity buffer.
  • Capital and liquidity planning taking also into consideration the Group's Risk appetite and business plan in a forward-looking assessment.

ICAAP and ILAAP are integrated into the business, decisionmaking and risk management processes of the Group, contributing to its continuity by ensuring its capital and liquidity adequacy from different but complementary perspectives (e.g. the economic perspective and the normative perspective), while both perspectives mutually inform each other and are integrated into all material business activities and decisions.

The Board of Directors has the overall responsibility of the ICAAP/ILAAP implementation with a clear and transparent assignment of responsibilities to the Risk Management Committee and Senior Management members. The Board, following the Risk Management Committee endorsement, approves the results of the ICAAP and the ILAAP and signs the Group's Capital Adequacy Statement (CAS) and the Liquidity Adequacy Statement (LAS).

The related reports are updated at least annually, or on a more frequent basis if material changes occur and are submitted to the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) of the European Central Bank. ICAAP and ILAAP are assessed yearly by the ECB as part of the Supervisory Review and Examination Process (SREP).

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND INNOVATION ACTIVITIES

Alpha Bank identified early on the opportunities and challenges posed by the new digital era and consequently began elaborating its digital transformation program since 2017. The implementation of the program includes both operational levers and innovation focused initiatives and has been a key activity in 2020.

The digital transformation program, which ultimately focuses on the Customer Experience enhancement, entails the further strengthening of the Bank's digital channels, the reinforcement of the necessary digital infrastructure as well as the redesign of the key customer journeys.

During 2021, the Bank's customer benefited largely by exploiting the advantages of services offered through our digital channels. More specifically, during the first six months of the year, 94% of cash transactions took place through digital channels (e-Banking, ATM, ΚΑΣ), noting a 2,5% increase in relation to the equivalent period of 2020. Concerning web and mobile channels, an increase of 24% was noted in transactions within the first 6 months of 2021 in relation to the equivalent period in 2020. At the same time, e-banking subscriptions of new retail customers continued to grow, noting more than 120 thousand users during the first six months of 2021. For the same period, more than 40% of the total number of new e-banking subscriptions of retail customers was made solely online.

The Bank's customers continued to purchase products through digital channels. More precisely, more than 30 thousand new deposit accounts were opened through the myAlpha Web for retail customers, maintaining the high numbers of 2020. Correspondingly, 2 out of 5 credit cards granted during the first six months of 2021, were administered through e-Banking, noting an increase of 38% in relation to the respective time in 2020. Indeed, 40% of cards granted online during the first six months of 2021 were through the myAlpha Mobile application exclusively.

With regards to myAlpha Mobile and the new functionality made available to retail customers to kick-start their banking relationship and open their first account at Alpha Bank exclusively through their mobile, numbers are impressive. Since the launch of the Retail Onboarding service, 1 out of 5 new customers choose to open their first account at Alpha Bank through their mobile.

As far as the Digital Business Onboarding service is concerned, the Bank added a new function for opening a business account as well as subscription to e-Banking without visiting a branch. In this regard, businesses, through alpha.gr, have at their disposal an end-to-end digital process, for submitting all necessary legalization documentation as well as for opening all basic banking

products that are needed for covering everyday running needs. Within the first five months, 1 in 3 business accounts is created online.

The number of customers that chose the "Alpha e-Commerce" service is impressive. The service offers buyers the opportunity to perform payments at the e-commerce shop of any business through a card, a digital wallet of a bank account. 48% more new businesses chose Alpha Bank as their preferred bank for clearing their customers' transactions during the first six months of 2021. Similarly, an increase of 61% and 49% was noted with regards to the volume and the value of transaction respectively.

The fully revamped myAlpha Wallet which kick started in September 2020 and allows for the Τap 'n Pay functionality accounts already for 40 thousand users. In addition to this, a full range of digital payments options is available, such as ApplePay that account for 190 thousand active users in total, of which 63 thousand subscribed in 2021.

Through the new myAlpha Rendezvous application, the Bank presented a new, improved way of scheduling of appointments, focusing on the best possible customer experience as well as on the need to ensure all covid rules are duly respected. From the initial date of launch on the new tool, the Bank has received more than 200 thousand application for scheduling an appointment, coming from 160 thousand customers.

Alpha Bank actively continued to pursue the development of an internal open innovation ecosystem. Its third digital innovation competition (i3), open exclusively to Bank staff, launched in March 2021 and is still ongoing. More than 120 applications received from bank colleagues at central units of the bank as well as through branches from around Greece. i3 places great emphasis on the relevance of ideas brought forward in relation to the actual needs of the bank and its customers and this effort was cemented through the presence of Bank executives that shared strategic insights with the participants. In the next phase of the competition, the best ideas brought forward will enter the acceleration phase where the teams will receive mentoring and coaching with the aim to evolve their ideas initial ideas into bank related proposals focusing on an improved banking experience.

OPERATIONAL PLANNING AGAINST PANDEMIC (COVID-19)

The Group monitors, from the beginning of the pandemic

crisis until today, the Government's announcements regarding the restrictive measures and adjusts the way of working accordingly with consistency and responsibility to the Employees and their Families. The physical presence of the Personnel in the workplaces is fully harmonized with the instructions of the competent authorities in a way that ensures on the one hand the proper operation of the Bank and on the other hand the reduction of the risk of spreading the virus.

In addition, given the high rates of working remotely, training in new applications and collaboration tools is constantly expanding. At the same time, the content of the Intranet is enriched and actions are developed that aim on the one hand to make the work from home easier, and on the other hand to support the Employees in general with advice on health, fitness, personal development and the possibility of participating in actions of Culture and information, through a special section, about the news relevant to new coronavirus.

PROSPECTS OF 2021

Risks are skewed to the upside in the long run mainly due to the RRF funding, which is expected to be activated from the second half of 2021. The National Recovery Plan combined with a structural reform agenda - aiming to improve fundamentals, strengthen infrastructure and address institutional weaknesses – are expected to provide a unique opportunity for revitalizing the Greek economy and transforming its productive model towards an investment-driven growth pattern with sustainable growth rates.

However, in the short run, downside risks are related to the "Delta" variant and the rapid spread of the 4th wave of the pandemic within Autumn as well as the saturation of the vaccination programmes in Greece and in origin countries of inbound tourist arrivals.

Moreover, downside risks may come from delays in the activation of expected funding from the RRF and the "detachment" process of the Greek economy from the supportive measures adopted by the Greek government to mitigate the cost of the pandemic, prevent employment losses and support liquidity of businesses. More specifically, delays in RRF activation along with potential bottlenecks in the absorption of the available funds could hamper business confidence and undermine the adoption of large investment plans, failing to support a strong economic recovery. Additionally, the time dimension of the "detachment" process is crucial, namely whether it will be

abrupt or gradual by taking into account the turnover losses of each sector.

Strategic priorities until the end of 2024

In May 2021, we announced our Updated Strategic Plan, Project Tomorrow, which includes a series of strategic initiatives which are intended to drive future performance. Our current strategic priority is to capture the opportunity to participate in the anticipated credit growth for the Greek banking sector, that we expect will be driven by EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility ("RRF") funds and the investments that these funds will mobilize. Capturing a fair market share of that growth will allow Alpha Bank to reach higher profitability levels sooner, while our targeted NPE reduction under our Updated Strategic Plan and our transformation plan will allow achievement of a low level of NPEs, a normalized cost of risk and a lean cost base that we believe will support reaching a 10% RoTBV by 2024. Our Strategic Plan is based on the following key initiatives:

  • The Revenue increase driven by asset growth initiative is based on the Bank's ambition to support the anticipated recovery of the Greek economy, driven also by the EU RRF, and to capture our full potential of the anticipated credit growth opportunity stemming from this recovery, enhancing both Net Interest Income from performing exposures and Fee and Commission Income for the Bank. Credit growth is to be partially funded by the Share Capital Increase, with the new equity raised supporting at the outset the growth capital we expect to deploy until the end of 2024;
  • The NPE Initiatives involve Project Galaxy, which was completed on 18 June 2021, and a series of other transactions, including a total gross book value of € 8.1 billion of NPEs with an expected regulatory capital impact of approx. 1.9% on our total regulatory capital, part of which NPE transactions refer to NPE securitisations under the HAPS scheme extension (the "HAPS 2"), enabling the Bank to achieve a NPE ratio of c.7% by the end of 2022, while targeting an NPE ratio of 2% by the end of 2024. In addition, the NPE initiatives include our ongoing organic NPE reduction (i.e. cures, debt forgiveness, collateral based recoveries and other closing procedures). After the successful completion of the NPE Initiatives, we expect to be able to achieve significantly reduced cost of risk levels and improved asset quality levels on par with other European banks, while maintaining

a satisfactory capital position above applicable minimum capital requirements;

  • The core operations efficiency enhancements initiative represents our aim to achieve operational excellence by focusing on our core commercial banking activities, executing on our business and retail banking growth strategy, increasing efficiency and reducing operating costs throughout our organization, targeting a net operating expenses reduction of € 50 million until the end of 2024 for the core operations. Further the targeted reduction of NPEs is also expected to allow reduction of the NPE management associated costs, by € 125 million, until 2024;
  • The asset-light fees and commissions income growth initiative is primarily based on our strategy to grow our fee income from Wealth Management and Bancassurance products and services. We expect to benefit from an anticipated growth in the affluent segment, supported by macro driven demand for asset management products and services, while for Bancassurance products we expect our new exclusive partnership with Generali to enable growth, in combination with an anticipated increase in demand for relevant products;
  • The growth in international presence in Romania where the banking sector is relatively underpenetrated and has a strong growth outlook (as the country is also a significant EU RRF funds' beneficiary). Our ambition is to further expand our asset base in the country, leveraging all growth options, should these appear with compelling economics.

TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM

In the first half of 2021, the Transformation program completed the bottom-up planning phase and started entering the implementation phase.

The Bank is currently embarking on the implementation phase with all prerequisites for success in place. A detailed IT delivery plan until 2023 with more than 70 projects has been defined. Internal, external, and IT resources are mobilized with strong momentum. The program has robust governance with continuous reporting to the Executive Committee.

The implementation phase runs into 2023 and beyond, radically accelerating the Bank's performance, enabling the increase of Business and Households revenue by over Euro 230 million and over Euro 130 million respectively by 2024. Annual net cost reduction achieved by the

Transformation program will be over Euro 40 million. At the same time, the Program will enable the delivery of important shifts in the Bank's operating model towards a more customer-centric model, increasing efficiency across the platform and elevating the focus in the Bank's talent.

In Retail Banking, the Bank's operating model will shift from product-based to customer-based, redefining customer segmentation and defining tailored value propositions per segment. The distribution model will be streamlined, creating a lean core offering to serve selected customer segments more efficiently. Selected sales and servicing activities will be migrated out of branches to digital and alternative channels. Resources across branches will be pooled and remote servicing teams will be created. Selected in-branch activities will be centralized, improving efficiency. The implementation of the priority initiatives has already been launched in selected pilot branches.

In Wholesale Banking, the Bank will introduce segmentspecific value propositions to provide tailored service and product offerings that match the needs of each segment. A new rigorous capital profitability management will be established, including the introduction of new account planning and client opportunity identification tools. Relationship Managers ("RMs") will be empowered through process changes and client data management tools to increase their productivity and improve customer service. The Bank will invest in upgrading digital interactions with customers through revamped customer journeys and new customer experience features to facilitate seamless and friendly access to products and services. A new customer servicing model will be introduced, promoting digital offerings and centralizing branch activities to reduce the reliance of Wholesale and Small Business clients on the physical service channel.

The Bank is transforming the end-to-end lending process for both Retail and Wholesale customers, as a key enabler and competitive advantage for the future. The aim is to create a seamless end-to-end digital customer journey for all customers, decreasing time-to-cash and improving customer experience.

Special focus is put on maximizing the efficiency of the Bank's operations and overall cost structure. Productivity will be further increased through changes in the operating model, better managing internal demand and re-allocation of activities between front, middle, and back offices. The Bank will redesign its Procurement function, with an aim to sustainably optimize thirdparty costs through effective vendor control and cost management.

The enhancement of the Bank's organizational effectiveness remains a key strategic priority. The Bank is already in the process of rolling-out a new performance management framework promoting a meritocratic culture. A new talent management framework will be introduced to foster internal professional development and talent retention. As a result, the Bank's Employee Value Proposition (EVP) will be revamped for current and prospect employees, aiming at becoming "Employer of choice" and attracting top talent.

As the Transformation is entering the implementation phase with significant momentum, the focus of the program shifts to execution of initiatives. A rigorous execution mechanism has been already set up, with the appropriate resourcing and progress monitoring infrastructure that will ensure the successful delivery of the Program's targets.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT

Review Report on Condensed Interim Financial Statements

To the Shareholders of "ALPHA SERVICES AND HOLDINGS S.A."

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying separate and consolidated condensed interim balance sheet of the Company and the Group of "Alpha Services and Holdings S.A." (the "Group") as of 30 June 2021 and the related separate and consolidated condensed interim statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, as well as the selected explanatory notes, which together comprise the condensed interim financial statements and which represent an integral part of the semi-annual financial report provided under Law 3556/2007.

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed interim financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and applicable to Interim Financial Reporting (International Accounting Standard "IAS" 34). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these separate and consolidated condensed interim financial statements based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410 "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity". The review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, as transposed in Greek legislation, and consequently it does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Our review has not revealed any material inconsistency or error in the Statement by the Members of the Board of Directors and in the information included in the Board of Directors' Semi-Annual Management Report provided under articles 5 and 5a of Law 3556/2007 when compared to the accompanying condensed interim financial statements.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES APPLIED

1.1 Basis of presentation

The Group has prepared the condensed interim financial statements for the current period ending at 30.6.2021 in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as it has been adopted by the European Union and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31.12.2020.

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 31.12.2020, 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 1.1.2021, regarding 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:

  • Securities held for trading
  • Derivative financial instruments
  • Loans and advances to customers measured at fair value through profit or loss
  • Investment securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
  • Investment securities measured at fair value through profit or loss
  • The contingent consideration recognized either as a result of a business combination in which the Group is the acquirer or in the context of asset disposal transactions in which the Group is the seller.

The financial statements are presented in Euro, rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.

1.1.1 Going concern

The financial statements as at 30.6.2021 have been prepared based on the going concern principle. For the application of this principle, the Board of Directors took into account 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:

Developments in the macroeconomic environment

The emergence and rapid spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 upset the outlook for the global and greek economy. National governments, in an effort to boost the resilience of their economies, have been forced to take emergency fiscal measures to support national health systems and ensure employment and entrepreneurship. The global vaccination campaign contributed to the gradual acceleration of the economic recovery, however the growth rate between economies and economic sectors is asymmetric, since vaccination rate and economic policy differ per country. Despite the positive prospects, challenges and uncertainties are still present with regards to the development of the covid pandemic and its variants, as well as the potential effects of a more permanent nature on production,employment, behaviour of households, resilience of businesses and risks of financing weak economies.

The pandemic crisis interrupted the mild recovery that the Greek economy had entered since 2017. During the first wave of the pandemic, in March and April 2020, Greece managed to curb the exponential spread of contamination, due to the timely adoption of restrictive measures. Following the gradual easing of the first lockdown from May 2020 onwards, economic activity gradually returned to normal in the third quarter of 2020, which was reflected in real GDP growth of 3.8% on a quarterly basis (with seasonal adjustment). The anti-cyclical fiscal policy of the Greek government partially offset the negative consequences of the recession (-8.2%) of 2020, however the Greek economy, despite the heavy losses, showed remarkable resilience and ability to adapt to the new conditions. The recession in 2020 could reach 17.5% without fiscal intervention.

The second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in Europe in the autumn and winter of 2020 and the third wave in the first quarter of 2021 necessitated the re-implementation of restrictive measures. The economic activity, following its significant

decline in 2020, has slown down and declined again by 2.3% on annual basis on the first quarter of 2021. However, the decline was significantly lower than expected, as the fiscal measures adopted by the Greek government, in relation with intervention policy measures by the European bodies, contributed substantially in reducing the consequences of the pandemic.The vaccination program that commenced in late 2020 played a pivotal role in the improvement of the economic climate and the result indicators in the first quarter of 2021. The recovery of demand is projected to gain ground later in 2021 (specifically from the second quarter) and together with the rising of national vaccination rates and absorption of Next Generation EU (NGEU) funds, will lead to a positive growth rate of the Greek economy.

The European Commission (Economic Forecast, Summer 2021) forecasts a recovery in 2021 by 4.3%, while the IMF in its recent report (World Economic Outlook, April 2021) by 3.8%. According to the forecasts of the Bank of Greece (Monetary Policy Report 2020-2021, June 2021), the recovery in 2021 is estimated at 4.2%.

The effectiveness of vaccination programs, both in Greece and in the countries of origin of tourists, will determine the degree of recovery of economic activity and the easing of restrictive measures. A crucial parameter for the gradual return of tourism is the lifting of travel restrictions and the reduction of the need for social distancing. Returning to normalcy in this area, however, is likely to take longer. In accordance with the survey of UNWTO (World Tourism Barometer, January 2021), 51% of respondents in Europe expects the return of international tourism to pre-pandemic levels happening in 2023 and 35% of respondents in 2024 or later.

The return of arrivals and income from tourism in 40% of the high levels of 2019 could be considered a feasible target for 2021, as long as favorable conditions are created, being a development that will contribute to the gradual reduction in deficit in the balance of payments.

The prospect of access to the Next Generation EU (NGEU) funds, and in particular the European Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), from the second half of 2021, can significantly enhance the growth potential of the country. The investments that are expected to be made will be mainly directed at green and digital development. In total, during the period 2021-2026, the Greek economy is expected to benefit by € 30.5 billion, of which € 17.8 billion relate to grants and € 12.7 billion to loans on favorable terms. The Greek Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP), Greece 2.0, recently approved by the European Commission is the vehicle for the absorption of Next Generation EU (NGEU) funds and includes a series of investments and structural reforms aiming at the strengthening of business environment, of the green and digital transitions of public and private sector.

The upgrade of Greece's sovereign credit rating by one degree at the end of April 2021 by the credit rating agency S&P Global Ratings, to 'BB' from 'BB-' and the improvement of the prospects of the Greek economy from "stable" to "positive" confirms the enhanced confidence of investors in the growth prospects of Greek economy. In accordance wih the credit rating agency, the Greek economy currently presents strong growth prospects, at a rate that is expected to overcome the European average rate in the next three years.

Liquidity

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 money markets (with or without collaterals).

The Bank made use of the TLTRO III program of the European Central Bank and ensured long-term liquidity with significantly low interest rates. In this context, the total financing from the European Central Bank on 30.6.2021 amounts to € 12.9 billion (note 16). 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 amount of 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 € 9.7 billion. In addition to the financing from the European Central Bank, the Bank has no liabilities from bond maturities in 2021. Additionally, in the first semester of 2021 there was an increase in Group deposits by € 1.2 billion. 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.

Capital Adequacy

On 30.6.2021, the Common Equity Tier I of the Group was 12.8% and the Total Capital Adequacy Ratio was 15.5%. These levels are significantly higher than the levels set by the European Central Bank as further described in note 28. 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. In order to strengthen its capital, the Bank issued on 4.3.2021 a new Tier 2 bond, amounting to € 500 million, with a 10.25-year maturity callable anytime between year 5 and year 5.25 and with a coupon of 5.5%. It is also noted that within the first half of 2021 the parent company recognized significant losses as a result of the finalization of the Galaxy transaction, however the Group capital adequacy stood at a level higher that the capital requirement thresholds. In addition, within the first half of 2021 the share capital increase of the parent company was completed resulting in raising funds of € 800 million. Finally, the Group successfully concluded the 2021 EUwide 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). In this context, it is estimated that for the next 12 months the Total Capital Adequacy Ratio will to be higher than the limits that have been set.

Updated Strategic Plan 2021-2024

In May 2021 the Bank announced the Updated Strategic Plan for the return of the Group to sustainable profitability. The updated Strategic Plan is based on the following initiatives:

  • The asset growth, with specific focus on corporate loans, in the context of the anticipated recovery of the Greek economy and the psospects developed by the Recovery and Resilience Fund (RRF), enhancing Net Interest Income and Fee and Commission Income for the Bank.
  • The initiatives for the reduction of non-performing exposures (NPEs), which include the Galaxy transaction, which was completed on 18th June 2021, as well as a series of other transactions, that refer to a total gross book value of € 8.1 billion of NPEs, part of which relate to securitizations under the extension of the HAPS scheme («HAPS 2»), but also to the ongoing organic NPE reduction.
  • The initiatives for efficiency enhancements, with the aim to achieve operational excellence and reducing operating costs throughout the organization.
  • The initiatives for the growth of fees and commissions income, through low-intensity capital operations, such as Wealth Management products and services and the supply of Bancassurance products.
  • The initiatives for the development of the Groups' international presence, including utilization of additional funds in Romania where the banking sector has a strong growth outlook.

In order to support the implementation of the updated Strategic Plan regarding the asset growth, Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. completed successfully the share capital increase, raising new funds of euro 800 million. The Group estimates that the share capital increase ensures, in principle, the growth capital expected to be deployed for this purpose until the end of 2024.

The Updated Strategic Plan aims overall at the full remediation of Groups' balance sheet and the achievement in the medium term of return on equity of 10%, while maintaining satisfactory capital position, higher than the applicable minimum capital requirements in force.

As a result of the total of activities and initiatives included in the Updated Strategic Plan for 2021, total CAD at group level is foreseen to be at levels much higher than the minimum capital requirements, remaining more than 16% over the weighted assets.

Based on the above and taking into account:

  • the Group's high capital adequacy through which it can implement the actions provided in the Updated Strategic Plan,
  • the satisfactory liquidity of the Group,
  • the actions taken by the Group for the management and decrease of the amount of non-performing loans,
  • the measures taken by the Group to protect its employees from coronavirus, the implementation of actions under the Business Continuity Plan and the activation of the ability for teleworking at a large scale whilst ensuring that critical operations are performed
  • the actions taken to enhance efficiency and profitability,
  • the decisions of the eurozone countries to adopt a series of fiscal and other measures to stimulate the economy, according to which Greece is expected to receive € 30.5 bln from the recovery package for Europe "Next Generation EU"

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 interim condensed financial statements are met.

1.1.2 Adoption of new standards and of amendments to standards

The following are the amendments to standards applied from 1.1.2021:

‣ Amendment to International Financial Reporting Standard 4 "Insurance Contracts": Extension of the temporary exception from applying IFRS 9 (Regulation 2020/2097/15.12.2020)

On 25.6.2020 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IFRS 4 with which extended the temporary exception from applying IFRS 9 by two years. In this context, companies that have used the temporary exception from applying IFRS 9 shall apply the standard by 1.1.2023.

The adoption of the above amendment had no impact on the financial statements of the Group.

‣ Amendment to International Financial Reporting Standard 9 "Financial Instruments", to the International Accounting Standard 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement", to International Financial Reporting Standard 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures", to International Financial Reporting Standard 4 "Insurance Contracts" and International Financial Reporting Standard 16 "Leases": Interest rate benchmark reform – phase 2 (Regulation 2021/25/13.1.2021)

On 27.10.2020 the International Accounting Standard Board issued amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 in the context of Phase 2 of the IBOR project that address issues that arise following the reform of an interest rate benchmark rate, including the replacement of one benchmark rate with an alternative one. The key reliefs provided by the Phase 2 amendments are as follows:

  • Changes to contractual cash flows: When changing the basis for determining contractual cash flows for financial assets and liabilities (including lease liabilities), the reliefs have the effect that the changes that are required by an interest rate benchmark reform will not result in an immediate gain or loss in the income statement but in the recalculation of the interest rate. The same practical expedient applies for insurers that are applying the temporary exemption from IFRS 9.
  • Hedge accounting: The hedge accounting reliefs ensure that changes to the hedge documentation do not result in the discontinuation of hedge accounting nor the designation of a new hedge relationship, as long as the only changes are those permitted by the Phase 2 Amendments. Permitted changes include redefining the hedged risk to reference a risk-free rate and redefining the description of the hedging instruments and/or the hedged items to reflect the risk-free rate. However, additional ineffectiveness might need to be recorded in profit or loss statement.

The adoption of the above amendment does not have an impact on the financial statements because on the one hand changes in the contractual cash flows of the financial instruments are treated through the change of the discount rate and on the other hand because the existing hedging relationships are not affected by the interest rate benchmark reform. It is noted that, in preparation for the transition to the new benchmark interest rates, the Group has launched a Project Team under the supervision of the Asset - Liability Management Committee of the Bank. The purpose of the Project is the identification of the products that are related to those benchmark interest rates as well as the possible adaptation of the contracts and the IT applications.

Except for the standards mentioned above, the European Union has adopted the following amendments to standards which are effective for annual periods beginning after 1.1.2021 and have not been early adopted by the Group.

‣ Amendment to the International Financial Reporting Standard 3 "Business Combinations": Reference to the Conceptual Framework (Regulation 2021/1080/28.6.2021)

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2022

The adoption of the above amendment is not expected to have any impact on the financial statements of the Group.

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2022

The above amendments are not expected to have any impact on the financial statements of the Group.

In addition, the International Accounting Standards Board has issued the following standards and amendments to standards the effective date of which is for annual periods beginning after 1.1.2021, which have not yet been adopted by the European Union and which have not been early applied by the Group.

‣ Amendment to International Financial Reporting Standard 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements" and to International Accounting Standard 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures": Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture.

Effective date: To be determined.

‣ International Financial Reporting Standard 14 "Regulatory deferral accounts"

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2016

The above standard does not apply to the financial statements of the Group.

‣ Amendment to International Accounting Standard 16 "Leases": Covid-19 Related rent concessions beyond 30 June 2021

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.4.2021

On 31.3.2021 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IFRS16 with which it extended by one year the possibility of the lessee to elect (practical expedient) not to assess whether a rent concession is a lease modification. The practical expedient had been provided with the amendment of the standard issued on 28.5.2020.

The Group is examining the impact from the adoption of the above amendment on its financial statements.

‣ International Financial Reporting Standard 17 "Insurance Contracts" and Amendment to International Financial Reporting Standard 17 "Insurance Contracts"

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2023

The Group is examining the impact from the adoption of the above standard on its financial statements.

‣ Amendment to the International Accounting Standard 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements": Classification of liabilities as current or non-current

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2022

The above amendment will have no impact on the financial statements of the Group since in Group's balance sheet liabilities are not classified as current and non-current.

‣ Amendment to the International Accounting Standard 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements": Disclosure of accounting policies

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2023

The Group is examining the impact form the adoption of the above amendment on its financial statements.

On 7.5.2021 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IAS 12 with which it narrowed the scope of the recognition exception according which, in specific circumstances, entities are exempt from recognising deferred tax when they recognise assets or liabilities for the first time. The amendment clarifies that the exception no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.

The Group is examining the impact form 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 31.12.2020.

1.2 Significant accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Significant accounting judgments

The Group, in the context of applying accounting policies, makes judgments that may affect the amounts recognized in the financial statements. Those judgements, which have not changed substantially compared with those applied to the financial statements for the year ended 31.12.2020, relate to the following:

Assessment of whether contractual cash flows of a debt financial instrument represent solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (SPPI)

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.
  • For loans in special purpose entities, whether there is a non-recourse feature. The assessment is based on specific index thresholds as well as on the evaluation of the adequacy of equity and of the collaterals that are not related to the asset being financed.
  • Whether in case of prepayment or extension the compensation received is considered fair.

Significant judgements relating to the selection of methodologies and models for expected credit losses calculation

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:

  • the criteria that indicate a significant increase in credit risk,
  • the choice of appropriate methodologies for expected credit loss calculation (expected credit loss calculation on an individual or on a collective basis),
  • the choice and development of appropriate models used to calculate the exposure at default by financial instrument category (EAD), the probability of default (PD), the estimated expected credit loss at the time of default (LGD), the probability of forbearance (PF) and the choice of appropriate parameters and economic forecasts used in them,
  • the choice of the parameters of the macroeconomic forecasts used in the models to determine the expected life and the date of initial recognition of revolving exposures,
  • the grouping of financial assets based on similar credit risk characteristics.

Applying different judgments could significantly affect the number of financial instruments classified in stage 2 or significantly differentiate expected credit loss.

It is noted that as far as significant judgements relating to moratoria and public guarantee in the context of the pandemic Covid-19 is concerned, what is stated in note 1.3 of the financial statements as at 31.12.2020 is applicable to the comparative period of these financial statements. It is noted, however that, from 1.4.2021, there are no moratoria due to the pandemic as more specifically mentioned in note 8.

Income Tax

The recognition of assets and liabilities for current and deferred tax is affected by factors such as the practical implementation of the relevant legislation and the settlement of disputes that might exist with tax authorities etc. 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.

Classification of non-current assets as held for sale

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.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Key sources of estimation uncertainty used by the Group in the context of applying its accounting principles and which have a significant impact on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are presented below.

Fair value of assets and liabilities

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 potential counterparty default.

Estimates included in the calculation of expected credit losses (notes 8, 27 and 32)

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 determination of the alternative macroeconomic scenarios and the cumulative probabilities associated with these scenarios,
  • the probability of default during a specific time period based on historical data, the assumptions and estimates for the future,
  • the probability of forbearance (PF) for retail portfolios,
  • the determination of the expected cash flows and the flows from the liquidation of collaterals,
  • the determination of the adjustments to the expected credit loss models and
  • the integration of loan portfolio sales scenarios taking into account on the one hand any factors that may hinder the realization of the sale and on the other hand the level of satisfaction of the conditions for the completion of the sale.

Finally, it is noted that regarding significant estimates on expected credit losses calculation on loans affected by Covid-19 pandemic what is stated in note 1.3 of the financial statements as at 31.12.2020 is applicable to the comparative period of these financial statements. It is noted, however that, from 1.4.2021, there are no moratoria due to the pandemic as more specifically mentioned in note 8.

Impairment losses on investments in associates and joint ventures and on non - financial assets (note 7)

The Group, at each reporting date, assesses for impairment non – financial assets, and in particular, 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.

Employee defined benefit obligations

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. It is noted that, following deliberations, the IFRIC Committee issued an agenda decision according to which, in a defined benefit plan, the attribution of benefit to periods of service is similar to the retirement benefits recognition under article 8 of Law.3198/1955. In this context, the attribution of benefit shall not begin from the first day of employment but at a later stage.The Group will assess the above decision in line with the actual data applicable to the defined benefit plan based on the actuarial valuation as of 31.12.2021 in order to make any necessary adjustments to the defined benefit obligation.

Provisions

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.

Recoverability of deferred tax assets

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 amount of deferred tax assets recognized in the consolidated financial statements as at 30.6.2021 has not changed significantly compared to the respective amount as at 31.12.2020. Therefore, what is stated in note 1.3 of the annual financial statements of 31.12.2020 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.

CORPORATE TRANSFORMATION – HIVE DOWN

The Board of Directors decided on 1.6.2020 the initiation of the demerger by way of hive-down of the banking business sector and the incorporation of a new company in accordance with Article 16 of Law 2515/1997 and par. 3 of Article 57 of Law 4601/2019 and article 59 to 74 of Law 4601/2019.

The Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders of 2.4.2021 resolved a) the demerger of the société anonyme under the name "Alpha Bank S.A." (the "Demerged"), by way of hive-down of the banking business sector with the incorporation of a new company, pursuant to article 16 of law 2515/1997, par. 3 of article 54, par. 3 of article 57 and articles 59-74 and 140 of law 4601/2019, b) the Draft Demerger Deed dated 15.9.2020, including the Transformation Balance Sheet dated 30.6.2020 and c) the Articles of Incorporation of the Beneficiary.

The demerger was approved pursuant to the decision of the Ministry of Development and Investments no. 45089/16.4.2021 dated April 16, 2021, by way of hive-down of the banking business sector with the incorporation of a new company which was registered in G.E.MI. on the same day. As a consequence of the Hive-down:

  • a) A new credit institution was incorporated under the name "Alpha Bank S.A." ("the Beneficiary") which substituted as universal successor, in all the transferred Banking Business Sector (assets and liabilities), as set out in the transformation balance sheet of the transferred banking business sector dated June 30, 2020 and formed up 16.4.2021. The new credit institution Alpha Bank S.A. was licensed by European Central Bank to operate as a credit institution pursuant to the provisions of L.4601/2014 and Regulation (EU) 1024/2013
  • b) The Demerged become the shareholder of the Beneficiary assuming all shares issued by the Beneficiary and in particular 50,838,244,961 common, registered shares with voting rights, of a nominal value of Euro 0.10 each.

On 19.4.2021 the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation of the demerged entity was approved, pursuant to the decision of the Ministry of Development and Investments no. 45898/19.4.2021, and the operating license of the demerged entity as a credit institution was revoked. According to article 1 of the Articles of Association, the corporate name and the trade name of the Demerged changed to "Alpha Services and Holdings S.A.".

The Stock Exchange was informed about the aforementioned decision on 19.4.2021 and therefore, the date of the change of the corporate name and the trade name of the Company on the Athens Stock Exchange is set at 20.4.2021.

The Demerged become the parent of Alpha Bank S.A. with the following main scope of business: (a) the direct and indirect participation in domestic and/or foreign companies and undertakings that already exist or to be established, of any form and object whatsoever, (b) the design, promotion and distribution of insurance products in the name and on behalf of one or more insurance undertakings in the capacity of insurance agent in accordance with the applicable legislation, (c) the provision of supporting accounting and tax services to affiliated companies and third parties as well as the elaboration of studies on strategic and financial management and (d) the issuance of securities for raising regulatory capital which are expected to take the form of notes or bonds.

The rights of the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund will be retained and preserved in full after the completion of the Hive-Down.

Accounting treatment of the Demerger

The Demerger resulted in the incorporation of a new company (under the name Alpha Bank S.A.) which assumed all the activities of the Alpha Bank S.A. before the demerger that related to the banking sector. It is therefore considered as business combination between entities under common control (Alpha Bank S.A. is the subsidiary of former Alpha Bank S.A. which become holding entity under the name Alpha Services and Holdings S.A.) and is therefore scoped out of IFRS 3 "Business Combinations". In addition since Alpha Bank S.A. is a newly established entity, it cannot be considered as the acquirer in the transaction and therefore the demerger cannot be considered as a business combination and is effectively a reorganization within the Group.

Since IFRSs do not provide guidance on accounting for such transactions, the accounting policy of the Group is that the transactions between group entities that involve the incorporation of new entities to which the assets and liabilities of a sector of another group entity are transferred this is accounted at book values.

In this context the accounting of the Demerger involved the following:

i. Based on the Demerger Deed, Alpha Services and Holding maintained the activities relating to the planning, promotion and distribution of insurance products in the name and on behalf of one or more insurance companies in the capacity of insurance agent, as well as the provision of accounting and tax services to affiliated companies and third parties, as well as the preparation of studies for the strategy and financial management of titles for capital purposes. It also maintained certain investments relating to above operations and in particular to: Alpha Group Jersey Ltd, Alpha Insurance Brokerage S.A., Alpha Life, Reoco Orion X S.A., Reoco Galaxy IΙS.A., Reoco Galaxy ΙV S.A.

It also retained the contractual rights and obligations of the subordinated and hybrid notes as well as of the bonds issued under the Galaxy securitization except for the 100% of the senior notes and the 5% of the mezzanine and junior notes which were transferred to Alpha Bank S.A. Because of the holding of the aforementioned notes the Company continued to recognize the loans securitized under the Galaxy securitization in accordance with IFRS 9.

  • ii. The assets, liabilities and equity reserves which were not maintained by Alpha Services Holding S.A. and which were determined to relate to the banking sector were transferred to Alpha Bank S.A. at book values.
  • iii. Given that until the hive-down the notes issued under Galaxy securitization were held by Alpha Bank S.A. before the demerger these notes and the related liabilities were not recognized. The transfer of part of the notes to the Bank resulted in the recognition by Alpha Bank S.A. of the 100% of the senior notes and 5% of the mezzanine and junior notes at fair values (see table I column B). Similarly, Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. recognized a liability equal to the amount of the bonds recognized by Alpha Bank S.A., which also included the netting of the assets and liabilities deriving from the securitization and transactions with the special purpose entities. Alpha Bank S.A. recognized these notes under Loans and advances, as the intention was to hold the notes until maturity in order to collect principal and interest, the risks associated with these bonds as well as the management of such risks relate to the risks of the underlying loans which were originated by Alpha Bank S.A. before the demerger and were subsequently securitized under Galaxy securitization, while the Alpha Bank S.A. substituted the Alpha Bank S.A. before the dermerger in the banking sector. In contrast the bonds of the Galaxy securitization held by Alpha Services and Holding were classified as Investment securities as the intention of the company is to sell or distribute them.

The difference between the consolidated ratios of Alpha Bank S.A. and of Alpha Services and Hodings S.A. is mainly due to: i) the cash reserves of the Alpha Services Hodings S.A. which are deposited to the Bank and ii) the accounting value of the uncollateralised non-performing consumer loans that are planned to be part of the upcoming NPE sales transactions as part of the Group business plan. Considering the above, the consolidated ratios of the two companies are expected to converge.

* Proforma to include the part of share capital increase of € 0.25 billion.

** Proforma to include the share capital increase of € 1 billion.

During the first semester of 2021, net interest income remained stable compared to the first semester of 2020, positively affected from the recognition of income of € 61,604 for the TLTRO III program which relates to the additional margin of -0.50% for the period from 24.6.2020 to 24.6.2021, as described in detail in note 16 and which is included in the caption "Negative interest rates from interest bearing liabilities", as well as from the decrease in the interest expense of due to customers mainly due to lower interest rates. The abovementioned increase has been offset by the decrease in the interest income of loan portfolio, which is mainly attributed to the lower interest rates and the derecognition of the Galaxy loan portfolio following the completion of the sale transaction and the decrease of interest income from investment portfolio as a result of lower yields in new investments following the sales of bonds conducted within 2020.

* Certain figures of the previous period have been restated in order to be comparable, as described in detail in note 31.

Total 189,691 166,661 105,427 77,472

The increase in net fee and commission income in the first semester of 2021 compared to the first semester of the comparative period, is mainly due to commission amounting to € 10 mil. received by the Bank from AXA Mediterranean Holding S.A., which is the parent company of AXA Insurance S.A. following to the disposal of the latter to Generalli, the increase in the commission fee from Mutual Funds and Credit Cards due to the increase in the volume of transactions and the increase in the commission fee from loans mainly deriving from commissions received for the arrangement of bond and syndicated loans.

The above mentioned increases have been partially offset by the decrease in other commission fees and mainly due to the fact that during first semester of 2020, the Bank received a fee of € 11.8 million for the modification of collateral agreement (CSA agreement).

Total 217,527 213,756 110,688 106,639

During the first semester of 2021, wages and salaries increased compared to the first semester of 2020, mainly due to the full consolidation of the subsidiary Cepal from July 2020 until 18.6.2021 (note 23), which employed staff before the transfer of staff from the Bank, in the context of the implementation of the transfer agreement of the Non-Performing Loans Unit, which was completed on 1.12.2020 and the increased separation cost for the Bank. This increase was partially offset by the reduction in social contribution costs due to decrease in the respective rates and the benefits of Alpha Bank Cyprus Ltd employee separation scheme, which was completed in 2020.

On 31.7.2020 the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders approved the establishment and implementation of a five year Stock Options Plan through the awarding of stock options to members of the management and employees of the Company and affiliated companies, the cost of which is included "Wages and salaries". The plan concerns the period 2020-2024.

As a result of the above, the Bank recognized a provision of € 97,200 for employee separation schemes (note 18).

On 29.6.2018 the General Assembly of Shareholders approved the senior executives' compensation plan, a benefit which was further specified by a Regulation subsequently issued.

"Loss from disposals/write-off/impairments on plant, property and equipment, intangible assets and rights of use assets" as at 30.6.2021 includes an amount of € 45,860, regarding the:

• The Bank at the acquisition of the banking activity of Citi and the acquisition of Diners' in 2014, recognized intangible assets relating to customer relations as a result of the acquisition of the Wealth Management sector of Citi and credit card base of Citi/Diners. The fair value of the intangible assets on initial recognition was € 83.073 while as at 30.6.2021 their net book value was € 16.217.

Recently, the occurrence of external events (pandemic Covid-19), the internal initiatives taken, such as the restructuring of the Bank's service and sales channels, the acceleration of rebalancing customer portfolios in the context of coping with the pandemic and the expected business changes of the transformation plan, resulted in a substantial diversification of the customer base management in comparison with previous years. In addition, following initial recognition of the intangible

assets, the Bank has established the cooperation with the Citi customer base through new contractual relationships, diversification of products, services and pricing, resulting in the distinction between the two to decrease significantly.

The above triggered a test for impairment as at 31.3.2021, from which it was found that it is no longer possible to distinguish the future economic benefits that are expected to flow from the above intangible assets, which led to their full impairment.

  • Within the first semester of 2021, the Group proceeded with an impairment of € 10,366 relating to information technology applications whose use was terminated during the second half of 2021, following a decision to be replaced by other existing systems.
  • The Group proceeded with an additional impairment of € 19,277 which relate to IT applications that based on the framework of the Transformation Plan were deemed to no longer meet the new business requirements. The amount of the impairment was determined taking into account the decision to discontinue or replace existing with new IT applications as well as the estimated replacement time. For those IT applications that were not fully impaired, their useful life was adjusted based on the expected replacement date.

In addition "Loss from disposals/write-off/impairments on plant, property and equipment, intangible assets and rights of use assets" include loss from sale/destruction of fixed assets amounting to € 1,400 (30.6.2020: € 754)

The aforementioned impairment losses and losses from disposals of plant, property and equipment are included in the operating segment "Other/Elimination Center" in note 24 "Operating segments".

"Provisions" relates to provisions for legal cases against the Bank and its subsidiaries which are included in "Other Provisions" of Note 18.

8. Impairment losses and provisions to cover credit risk on loans and advances to customers

Total 515,145 568,052 124,592 260,622

Impairment losses on loans in the current period include amount of € 351 million which represents the effect of the incorporation of sale scenarios in the estimation of expected credit losses in order to account for the impact of anticipated sales of loans which are included in the Bank's NPE Business Plan (for the transactions Cosmos, Orbit and Sky), as further analyzed in note 32. The Group, for the determination of the respective scenarios evaluated the uncertainties relating to each transaction and mainly concern the stage of preparation and the uncertainties around the outcome of the required conditions precedent associated with such sales (receipt of required approvals, capital actions, etc).

The probabilities assigned to the sale scenarios used range from 30% to 65% and in case the Group had assigned a probability of 100% for each scenario the estimated additional impairment loss would have been approximately € 690 million.

For the other non-performing exposures (NPEs) referred to in note 32, sale scenarios have not been incorporated into the estimation of expected credit losses due to significant uncertainties that exist as they are at a very early stage.

Perimeter affected by the Covid-19 pandemic

The Group, in order to support its customers who are affected by the crisis due to the Covid-19 pandemic, has taken a series of measures to support affected businesses and individuals, facing temporary payment difficulties due to liquidity shortages.

These measures concern either new loans, in the context of strengthening the liquidity of small, medium and large businesses, as well as the self-employed, or modifications in the repayment schedules of existing loan of both businesses and individuals.

Moreover, the Bank actively participates in every effort planned and coordinated by the Greek Government, either through the competent Ministries or through the Hellenic Development Bank and its Funds (i.e. TEPIX) as well as other European institutions to support the Greek economy (TEPIX, European Investment Fund, COSME etc.).

The modifications granted to existing loans were treated by the Bank in line with the Guidelines issued by the European Banking Authority (hereinafter "EBA") "on legislative and non-legislative moratoria on loan repayments applied in the light of the Covid-19 crisis" (EBA/GL/2020/02, EBA/GL/2020/08 and EBA/GL/2020/15) that aim to provide clarity to the EU banking sector on how to handle in a consistent manner, aspects related to (i) the classification of loans in default and (ii) the identification of forborne exposures.

In this respect, provided that those measures are not borrower-specific, the duration of the deferral of the payments is fixed for every borrower irrespective of the borrowers' specific financial circumstances and the Net Present Value ("NPV") loss is immaterial, modifications in payment schedules are not automatically classified as Distressed Restructuring (Forbearance) both under IFRS 9 and the definition of default.

In accordance with theBank's accounting policies, such modifications are not considered substantial and therefore no derecognition occurs.

The measure of temporary payment holidays is offered to customers operating or employed in sectors affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, which is assessed by the Bank, through the submission of a relevant request from the customer.

It is noted that this measure, based on relevant guidelines by the EBA as amended on 2.12.2020 (EBA/GL/2020/15), is applicable until 31.3.2021, meaning that approvals of customer requests for payment holidays were accepted until that date and for an overall length of the payment holiday up to 9 months.

These amendments are separately monitored in the systems of the Bank, in order to be effectively monitored.

In addition, until 30.6.2021, the active implementations of the Group included in the perimeter of the loans under the guarantee of the Greek Government (amounting to 80%) and foreign governments amounted to € 1,358,159.

Adjustments in the loan impairment policy due to Covid-19 pandemic

The Group in the second quarter of 2021 adjusted its impairment policy in line with EBA Guidelines on legislative and nonlegislative moratoria on loan repayments applied in the light of the Covid-19 crisis (EBA/GL/2020/02, EBA/GL/2020/08) ceased on 1.4.2021 and no moratoria were granted due to covid-19. In addition no post model adjustments on exposures due to the covid-19 applied. More specifically the following adjustments to the impairment policy were removed:

  • Retail performing exposures under payment moratoria that are classified in high risk zones were assigned in Stage 2 and life time expected credit losses were calculated as a result of respective qualitive evaluation for possible increase of credit risk.
  • Temporary short-term modifications granted to Retail exposures that are no longer under payment moratoria and according to individual evaluation that has been performed are viable customers who are facing temporary liquidity problems with no indication of permanent financial difficulty, were classified in Stage 2 and Lifetime ECL is calculated for the remaining maturity of the exposures.

Adjustments in the calculation of allowance for expected credit losses

In order to manage the cases of debtors facing temporary liquidity problems from the Covid-19 pandemic, the Group adjusted in 2020 the estimates concerning the calculation of the expected credit losses.

The total expected credit losses due to the adjustments to the Group's models amounted to € 283 million for 31.12.2020, as a result from the global economic crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, while for the first quarter of 2021 the impact was not significant.

It is noted that Covid-19 pandemic did not lead to a significant increase in credit risk for debt securities held by the Group.

10. Income Tax

The Extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders of Alpha Bank S.A. held on 2.4.2021, approved the demerger of the société anonyme with the corporate name "Alpha Bank Societe Anonyme" ("Demerged Entity"), by way of hive-down of the banking business sector with the incorporation of a new company – financial institution under the legal name "Alpha Bank Societe Anonyme". Alpha Bank S.A. resulting from the demerger by the way of the hive-down of the banking business sector, started its operations on 16.04.2021, following the approval of the Ministry of Development and Investments. The first tax year for Alpha Bank S.A. is from 1.7.2020 to 31.12.2021.

The Demerged changed its corporate name to "Alpha Services and Holding Societe Anonyme" and become a listed holding company, and its business scope is the provision of the insurance agency services and accounting supporting services, and has retained the same GEMI and VAT numbers.

In accordance with article 120 of L.4799 "Incorporation of Directive (EU) 2019/878 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 amending Directive 2013/36/EU as regards exempted entities, financial holding companies, mixed financial holding companies, remuneration, supervisory measures and powers and capital conservation measures, Incorporation of Directive (EU) 2019/879 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 amending Directive 2014/59/EU as regards the loss-absorbing and recapitalization capacity of credit institutions and investment firms and Directive 98/26/EC, through the amendment of article 2 of L.4335/2015, and other urgent provisions", the income tax rate for legal entities is reduced by 2% (from 24% as in force today to 22%) for the income of tax year 2021 and afterwards. By explicit reference of the law, this decrease does not apply to the financial institutions for which the income tax rate remains at 29%.

In accordance with article 119 of the same law, the percentage of income tax prepayment for legal entities is reduced to eighty percent (80%) from one hundred per cent (100%) as in force. The above is applicable for income tax prepayment of income tax declaration for the tax year 2021. Especially for tax year 2020, the tax prepayment percentage of legal entities for tax year 2020, is set up to seventy per cent (70%).

The article 20 of Law 4646 / 12.12.2019 "Tax reform with a growth dimension for tomorrow's Greece", exempts income tax on income derived from the goodwill of the transfer of equity instruments to a legal entity resident in a Member State of the European Union, which a legal entity receives which is a tax resident of Greece if the legal entity whose titles are transferred fulfills the conditions prescribed by law. This income shall not be taxable on the distribution or capitalization of these profits. Any impairment losses recognized as at 31.12.2019 are deducted under certain conditions from gross income at the time of transfer. The provision applies to income derived from 1.7.2020 onwards.

Furthermore, the withholding rate is reduced to 5% from 10% in dividends paid from 1.1.2020 and onwards.

For the subsidiaries and the Bank's branch operating in other countries, the applicable nominal tax rates for the year 2020 are as follows, with no changes compared to the tax rates of year 2019:

Cyprus 12.5 Albania 15
Bulgaria 10 Jersey 10
Serbia 15 United Kingdom 19

In accordance with article 65A of Law 4174/2013, from 2011, the statutory auditors and audit firms conducting statutory audits to a Societe Anonyme (S.A.), are obliged to issue an Annual Tax Certificate on the compliance on tax issues. In accordance with article 56 of Law 4410/3.8.2016 for the fiscal years from 1.1.2016 and onwards, the issuance of tax certificate is optional. However, the Company and the Group's companies intend to continue to obtain the tax certificate.

"Debit difference of Law 4046/2012" relates to the deferred tax asset on tax losses, due to the Bank's participation in the Greek government bonds exchange program (PSI) and the Greek government bond buyback program on December 2012, which have been recognized as a debit difference in accordance with Law 4046/14.2.2012 and Law 4110/23.1.2013. According to Law 4110/23.1.2013 the "debit difference" is deductible, gradually in equal installments, within 30 years.

Moreover, according to article 5 of Law 4303/17.10.2014 "Ratification of the Legislative Act Emergency legislation to replenish the General Secretary of Revenue upon early termination of office (A' 136) and other provisions", which replaced article 27A of Law 4172/2013, deferred tax assets of legal entities supervised by the Bank of Greece, under article 26 paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 of

* Certain figures of the previous period have been restated in order to be comparable, as described in detail in note 31.

Law 4172/2013 that have been or will be recognized and are due to the debit difference arising from the PSI and the accumulated provisions and other general losses due to credit risk, with respect to existing amounts up to 31.12.2014, are converted into final and settled claims against the State, if, the accounting result for the period, after taxes, is a loss, according to the audited and approved financial statements by the Ordinary Shareholders' General Meeting.

The inclusion in the Law is implemented with the approval of the General Meeting of Shareholders and relates to tax assets arising from 2016 and onwards, relating to fiscal year 2015 and onwards, whereas it is envisaged the end of inclusion in the Law with the same procedure and after obtaining relevant approval from the Regulatory Authority.

According to article 4 of Law 4340/01.11.2015 "Recapitalization of financial institutions and other provisions of the Ministry of Finance" the above were amended regarding the time of the application which is postponed for a year. In addition the amount of the relevant deferred tax asset which is included in the above provisions of article 5 of Law 4303/17.10.2014 and relates to accumulated provisions and other general losses due to credit risk, is limited to the amount related to the provisions for credit risk, which were accounted for on 30.6.2015.

In connection with the amount included in caption "Debit difference of Law 4465/4.4.2017", according to article 43 of Law 4465/04.4.2017 "Integration of Directive 2014/92/EU of the European Parliament and Council held on 23.7.2014 for the comparability of charges related to payment accounts, the change of payment account and the access to payment accounts with basic characteristics and other provisions", the articles 27 and 27A of the Income Tax Code were amended (Law 4172/2013). In particular, par. 3 of article 27, as amended, provides the right to amortize losses registered by the above legal entities, for a period of 20 years, if those losses resulted from debt write-offs from their balance sheet due to loan settlement or restructuring contractually, judicial or extrajudicial or due to the transfer of the loan to companies of loan acquisition or securitization or to credit and financial institutions or other companies and legal entities under the conditions that the management of those loans is carried out by a claims servicing company. The tax benefit of the 20-year depreciation is given only to the realized losses. In case of an accounting write-off of the loan considering that the events for the final debt write-off or transfer of the loan have not yet completed, the tax result for the year of the accounting write-off is not affected. When these events occur, the amount that was written off will be converted into a debit difference and will be amortised over the estimated 20-year period.

The amended provisions of Article 27A explicitly provide that in addition to the deferred tax assets relating to the amount of accumulated provisions and other general losses due to credit risk and to the remaining (amortized) balance of the PSI, the deferred tax asset relating to accounting write-offs and final losses due to final write-off or transfer of loans, under certain conditions, can be converted to final and settled receivable against the State and therefore to be included in the regulatory capital.

It is noted that the right to convert deferred tax asset into final and settled against the State, had already been provided in the legislative framework since 2014 in order to avoid losses in the regulatory capital of credit institutions.

Based on the above mentioned Law, the total amount of deferred tax asset from (a) the debit difference due to the permanent write off of credits and sale of loans, (b) the temporary differences from any accounting write-off of loans and credits and (c) the temporary differences from accumulated provisions and other provisions due to credit risk, is limited to the total tax amount related to accumulated provisions and other losses due to credit risk, recognised until 30.6.2015.

This amendment ensures that the loan write-offs and disposals, aiming to decrease the non-performing loans, will not result in the loss of regulatory capital.

The above apply from 1.1.2016.

As at 30.6.2021, the amount of deferred tax assets which are in the scope of the Law 4465/2017, and includes the debit difference balance of Law 4046/2012 (PSI) amounts to € 2,972 million (31.12.2020: € 3,030 million).

According to article 82 of Law 4472/19.5.2017 "Public Pension Provisions and amendment of provisions of Law 4387/2016, measures for the implementation of budgetary targets and reforms, social support measures and labor regulations, Medium-term Fiscal Strategy Framework 2018-2021 and other provisions" credit institutions and other entities that fall under the provisions of article 27A of Law 4172/2013, are required to pay an annual commission of 1.5% for the guaranteed by the Greek State deferred tax asset that results from the difference between the tax rate currently in force (29%) and the tax rate that was in force on 31.12.2014 (26%).

The nominal tax rate is the average tax rate resulting from the income tax, based on the nominal tax rate, and the pre-tax results, for the parent and for each of the Group's subsidiaries.

As at 30.6.2021, the Group has not recognized deferred tax asset related to tax losses of the first semester of 2021 amounting to € 277,292, which have resulted mainly from the sale of the 51% of the mezzanine and junior notes of the Galaxy securitisation, as well as deferred tax asset amounting to € 219,446 deriving mainly from the valuation of the 44% of the junior and mezzanine notes held by Alpha Services and Holdings S.A., due to the fact that there are sufficient taxable profits estimated against which they can be set off.

In accordance with the provisions of no E.2075/9.4.2021 Circular of Independent Authority for Public Revenue, following the finalization of transformation plan by way of hive-down of the banking business sector with the incorporation of a new legal entity named Alpha Bank S.A., Alpha Services and Holding S.A. will be taxed for the results until the Transformation Balance Sheet date 30.6.2020 with a rate of 29%, whereas for the results from 1.7.2020 to 31.12.2020 with a rate of 24%. In accordance with the article 120 of Law 2799/2021, from 1.1.2021 and afterwards the tax rate for legal entities has been further reduced to 22%. The effect of the change in the tax rate from 29% used for the taxation of the Bank to 22% used for the taxation of Alpha Services and Holding S.A. is included in the line "Adjustment of tax rates used for the calculation of deferred tax".

Receivables from withholding taxes

In accordance with article 93 of Law 4605/1.4.2019 "Alignment of Greek legislation with the European Parliament and Council Directive (EU) 2016/943 of 8.6.2016 on the protection of undisclosed know-how and business information (trade secrets) against their unlawful acquisition, use and disclosure (EEL 157, 15.6.2016). Measures for accelerating the work of the Ministry of Economy and other provisions" provides that:

• The credit balances of fiscal years 2008 and 2010 up to 2012 that arose from withholding taxes on specially taxed income are transferred and will be offset at the time when income tax is incurred and in proportion to that tax. This set-off procedure also includes any amounts refunded by virtue of court decisions, for which the obligation to return them to the Greek State is borne at the time and proportionally to the amount of the income tax recognized. The Bank's receivables from the Greek State subject to the above mentioned legislation amount to € 85,156.

* Certain figures of the previous period have been restated in order to be comparable, as described in detail in note 31.

  • The credit balances that arose under Law 4046/2012 and have not been offset after the end of the five-years period from their recognition, will be offset starting from 1.1.2020 in ten equal annual installments with any tax liability of the banks. The Bank's receivables from the Greek State subject to the above mentioned legislation amount to € 63,114.

Following the abovementioned Law decisions, the Bank' s receivables against the Greek State from withholding taxes will be subject to the offset procedure described in the above provisions. During the first half of 2021, the Bank offset with current tax liabilities an amount of € 6,311 that corresponds to the 1/10th for the year 2021. From the total credit balance of € 63,114, an amount of € 12,622 has been offset.

11. Earnings/(losses) per share

a. Basic

Basic earnings/(losses) per share are calculated by dividing the net profit/(losses) for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding the weighted average number of own shares held, during the period.

From 1 January to From 1 April to
30.6.2021 30.6.2020* 30.6.2021 30.6.2020
Profit/(Loss) attributable to equity holders of the Company (2,326,627) 89,175 (2,044,410) 101,759

Basic earnings/(losses) per share (in €) (1.5055) 0.0578 (1.3224) 0.0659

It is noted that in January 2021, 2,281,716 options rights exercised resulted in 2,281,716 ordinary, registered, voting shares with nominal value of Euro 0.30 each to be issued. The Share Capital of the Company increased by € 685 and the Share Premium increased by € 1,483.

b. Diluted

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, which arise from a plan of awarding stock options rights to its employees and management personnel of the Group's entities (note 5).

For the calculation of the diluted earnings per share, it is assumed that the option rights are exercised and that the related 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 ordinary shares that will be issued and the number of the ordinary shares that would have been issued at the average market price during the period, is recognized as issuance of ordinary shares without consideration.

On 30.4.2020 the Alpha Bank S.A. before the demerger completed, in accordance with the provisions of article 10 of Law 3156/2003, the securitization of a portfolio of consumer, mortgage and corporate loans and receivables to special purpose entities. In particular, Alpha Bank S.A. before the demerger transferred non-performing loan portfolios to four special purpose entities, Orion Securitization Designated Activity Company, Galaxy II Funding Designated Activity Company, Galaxy IV Funding Designated Activity Company και Galaxy III Funding Designated Activity Company, set up for this purpose, which in turn issued notes. The three securitizations follow a three-tranche structure and have issued senior, mezzanine and junior notes. Alpha Bank S.A. before the demerger acquired the total of the notes and maintained in all cases the risks and rewards deriving from the securitized portfolios, which resulted to not derecognizing the loans.

In February 2021, a binding agreement was concluded with Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP, which provided for the sale of 51% of the mezzanine and junior notes of the Non-performing Exposure portfolio issued by Orion Securitization Designated Activity Company, Galaxy II Funding Designated Activity Company and Galaxy IV Funding Designated Activity Company.

The sale was concluded on 18.6.2021 for a consideration of € 5,778. Following the sale of the mezzanine and junior notes, the Group ceased to have the control over the securitized loans, given that the special purpose entities have practically the right to transfer them to third party. As a result the Group derecognized the loans and recognised a loss from derecognition of financial assets measured at amortized cost amounting to € 2,238,989.

The calculation of the loss included besides the consideration the following:

  • The carrying amount of the securitized loans amounting to € 5,810,559.
  • The carrying amount of the 100% of the senior notes and the 49% of the mezzanine and junior notes which were recognized after the sale amounting to € 3,813,580.
  • The carrying amount of the financial receivables from the special purpose entities that were derecognized after the sale of Galaxy Bonds amounting to € 228,721.
  • The transaction costs amounting to € 19,067.

The book value of securitized loans in the special purpose vehicle, Galaxy III Funding Designated Activity Company measured at amortized cost as of 30.6.2021 amounts to € 219,310. At 31.12.2020 the book value of the total loans of the Galaxy securitization amounted to € 6,043,792.

After the completion of the sale, the Group retained 100% of the senior notes and 49% of the mezzanine and junior notes. The 100% of the senior notes were classified at loans measured at amortized cost, the 5% of the mezzanine and junior notes were classified in loans measured at fair value through profit and loss and the 44% of mezzanine and junior notes were classified in investment securities measured at fair value through profit or loss based on the business model and contractual terms of the aforementioned investment securities.

On 28.6.2021 the Bank transferred portfolios of non-performing loans to the special purpose vehicle "Gemini Core Securitization Designated Activity Company" based in Ireland which was established for this purpose and which in turn issued notes. The Bank covered all issues, which resulted in the control of the special purpose vehicle by the Bank and the nonderecognition of these loans from its balance sheet as it retained all risks and rewards arising from the securitized portfolios. The balance of securitized loans of the aforementioned transaction measured at amortized cost amounted to € 6,430,948 as of 30.6.2021. The balance of securitized loans of the aforementioned transaction valued at fair value through profit and loss amounted to € 437 as of 30.6.2021.

Furthermore, in previous years, Alpha Bank S.A. before the demerger has proceeded with the securitization of other consumer and corporate loans and credit cards through controlled special purpose entities. Based on the contractual terms and structure of the above transactions (e.g. guarantees or/and credit enhancement or due to the Bank owes the notes issued by the special purpose entities), Alpha Bank S.A. before the demerger retained in all cases the risks and rewards deriving from securitized portfolios.

Mortgage loans as at 30.6.2021 include loans amounting to € 3,502,010 (31.12.2020: € 3,370,323) which have been used as collateral in the Covered Bond Issuance Program I and Covered Bond Issuance Program II of the Bank, and in the Covered Bond Issuance Program of Alpha Bank Romania.

According to the NPE Business plan that was submitted to SSM by the Bank on 15 April 2021, prepared in accordance with the

methodology of the supervisory authorities, the Group is obliged to monitor and report to the SSM the level of the achievement of the targets set in the NPE Business Plan on a consolidated basis, until the end of 2022, through relevant supervisory reports. As at 30.6.2021, the balance of the NPE loans included in total loans and advances to customers amounted to € 11.4 billion (31.12.2020: € 20.9 billion).

The carrying amount of loans guaranteed by the Greek State and foreign states amount to € 1,358,159 as at 30.6.2021 (31.12.2020: € 1,040,695) and are included in the balance of loans measured at amortized cost. For the above loans the allowance for expected credit losses recognized as at 30.6.2021 amounts to € 3,674 (31.12.2020: € 2,127).

The carrying amount of loans with interest rate subsidy from the Entrepreneurship Fund II of the Hellenic Development Bank amount to € 402,475 on 30.6.2021 (31.12.2020: € 399,422) and is included in the balance of loans measured at amortized cost. For the above loans the allowance for expected credit losses recognized as at 30.6.2021 amounts to € 1,659 (31.12.2020: € 2,083).

In order to cope with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, ensure adequate liquidity, normalize market's condition and support the credit expansion, European Central Bank has gradually implemented since March 2020 a series of measures such as an amendment on terms of the Targeted Longer Term Refinancing Operations III and a new bunch of non-targeted longerterm refinancing operations due to the pandemic (Pandemic Emergency Longer Term Refinancing Operations). On 24.6.2020, Alpha Bank S.A. before the demerger proceeded to the early termination of the borrowed amount of € 3.1 billion, through the pre-existing program of Targeted Longer Term Refinancing Operations II (TLTRO II) with an interest rate of -0.40% and raised additional of € 11.9 billion through the TLTRO III with an interest rate of -0.50%, while at the same date an amount of € 7.5 billion that was raised during the first half of 2020 through the Long-Term Refinancing Operations (LTRO) matured. It is noted that the interest rate of TLTRO III can reach -1% for the period from June 2020 to June 2021 and remain to -0.5% for the residual period until maturity, provided that the amount of loans falling under the program remain for the period between March 2020 and March 2021, at March 2020's levels. The ECB announced on 10.12.2020 a further amendment to the terms of the TLTRO III program, according to which if, in addition to the achievement of the target set for the period March 2020 – March 2021, loans for the period October 2020 - December 2021 remain at the levels of October 2020 the interest rate can be set at -1% for the next period from June 2021 to June 2022. Alpha Bank S.A. before the demerger recognized interest for the year 2020 based on the interest rate of -0.50%.

In March 2021, the Bank received additional funding of € 1.0 billion through the TLTRO III program and as a result the total amount of borrowing is € 12.9 billion as at 31.3.2021. For the six month period revenue of € 92,894 was recognized for the TLTRO ΙΙΙ program, of which € 60,072 relates to the period of 1.1-23.6.2021 using an interest rate of -1%, € 1,254 relates to the period 24.6-30.6.2021 using an interest rate of -0,5% and an amount of € 31,568 relates to retroactive recognition of revenue with the additional margin of -0.50% for the period 24.6.2020-31.12.2020. This assessment based on the available data on the evolution of lending according to which this objective of the period March 2020 - March 2021 is achieved.

In particular, given that changes in the interest rate based on the level of the achievement of the objectives are contractually prescribed, the effective interest rate will be adjusted as a conventionally predetermined variable interest rate when the estimates for the achievement of the objectives become reliable and cumulative adjust of the amount recognized in interest income. It is also noted that the interest rate of this loan has not been treated as an off-market interest rate loan as the European Central Bank has provided it to all credit institutions under its supervision.

The caption "Borrowing Funds" includes mainly liabilities of the Group towards multilateral development banks.

The interest income recognized for the six month period of 2021 and 2020 from these transactions is presented in the caption 'Interest and similar income' of the Statement of Income.

The carrying amount of these loans at 16.4.2021 was € 6,022,689 (31.12.2020: € 6,148,332).

The Bank purchased the securities at an amount equal to the net book value of the loans that were securitized. It is noted that the change in the total nominal amount in relation to 31.12.2020 is due to the finalization of the perimeter of the transaction.

On 16.4.2021 the Senior notes (Class A) with a nominal value of € 3,763,000 as well as the 5% of the mezzanine and junior notes (Class B and Class C) with a nominal value of € 350,221 were contributed to the new Bank and were recognized in loans measured at amortized cost and loans measured at fair value through profit and loss respectively. The remaining 95% of the mezzanine and junior notes with a nominal value of € 6,654,192 as well as the single tranche note with a nominal value of € 946,538 remained with the parent company Alpha Services & Holdings S.A. Following the sale transaction of the 51% of the mezzanine and junior notes with a nominal value of € 3,572,250 on 18.6.2021, the respective securitized loans were derecognized from the balance sheet.

Liabilities from the securitization of non-performing loans are not included in the account "Debt securities in issue and other borrowed funds" as the Group is the owner of the issued notes of nominal value € 946,538.

The above table presents the fair values and carrying amounts of the financial assets that are not measured at fair value as well as their carrying amount.

The fair value of loans measured at amortised cost is calculated using discounting 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. For the 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 valuation 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. In addition, the fair value of the loans of 30.6.2021 has incorporated the sale scenario (with 100% probability) for the Cosmos, Orbit & Sky portfolios with a possible reduction of the value of the loans amounting to approximately € 690 millions.

The fair value of deposits is estimated based on the interbank market yield curve and the liquidity premium until their maturity.

The fair value of debt securities in issue is calculated by using market prices, as long as the market is active. In all other cases, the discounted cash flows method is used and all significant variables are based either on observable market data or on a combination of observable and unobservable market data. The fair value of other financial assets and liabilities which are valued at amortized cost does not differ significantly from the respective carrying amount.

The above tables present the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments measured at fair value by the level of the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorized.

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.

Level 3 classification includes securities whose fair value is estimated using significant unobservable inputs.

The methodology for the valuation of securities is subject to approval by the Asset Liability Management Committee and the Treasury and Balance Sheet Committee. It is noted that, especially for securities measured at market values, bid prices are taken into consideration and their valuation variances are reviewed on a daily basis.

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. As the data used for the calculation of fair value refer to unobservable data, loans and receivables are classified at Level 3.

Shares whose fair value is estimated 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 taking into account 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 and of the Treasury and Balance sheet Management Committee. Mid prices are considered as both long and short positions may be open. Valuations are checked on a daily basis with the respective prices of the counterparty banks in the context of the daily process of provision of collaterals and settlement of derivatives. If the non-observable inputs are significant, the fair value that arises is classified as Level 3 or otherwise as Level 2.

In addition, the Group calculates the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) in order to take into account 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 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 default probability of both the counterparty and Group, the impact of the first to default, the expected OTC derivative exposure, the loss given default of the counterparty and of Group and the specific characteristics of 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 according to best practices.

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 given below:

The Group recognizes the transfer between fair value hierarchy Levels at the end of each reporting period.

Within a' semester of 2021, corporate bonds amounting to € 60,626 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 due to the formation of the liquidity margin (bid-ask spread) within the limit set for the classification of the market as active and transfer of corporate bonds from Level 1 at Level 2 of a total amount of € 40,428 due to the formation of the liquidity margin (bid-ask spread) outside the limit set for the classification of the market as active.

In 2020, an amount of € 22,822 of corporate bonds was transferred from Level 1 to Level 2, due to the formation of the liquidity margin (bid-ask spread) outside the limit set for the classification of the market as active.

b. Loans to customers measured at amortised cost

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 provisions. 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 that led to derecognition. Relevant adjustment has also been performed 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 presents loans and lease liabilities 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 € 5,965,492 as at 30.6.2021 (31.12.2020: € 9,750,344), taking into consideration the allowance for expected credit losses on loans measured at amortised cost of € 5,871,414 (31.12.2020: € 9,611,635), the allowance for expected credit losses for the undrawn loan commitments, letters of credit and letters of guarantee of amount € 48,367 (31.12.2020: € 91,482) and the allowance for expected credit losses on advances to customers of amount € 45,711 (31.12.2020: € 47,227).

During the current period, the Bank amended the individual assessment threshold. Specifically, Borrowers with at least one Non-Performing Exposure whose Customer overall credit Limit in the Bank exceeds the amount of Euro 2 million, instead of Euro 1.5 million as it was until today, will be assessed on an individual basis.

New Definition of Default

The Group, following the implementation of the new EBA Guidelines (EBA/GL/2016/07), changed its definition of default since 1.1.2021 and adopted the new Definition of Default.

The main changes introduced by the new Definition of Default are presented as follows:

  • Additional "Unlikeliness To Pay" trigger events such as Diminished Financial obligations (NPV Loss), Sale of Credit Obligations, Default to Subsidiaries.
  • Change on the way of counting of Days Past Due meaning that hereafter the counting will be based on the existence of consecutive days of material past due.
  • An additional three-month probation period from the moment the obligor is no longer materially past due and no indication of Unlikeliness to Pay occurs.

The Group has decided since 2018 to align Default, NPE and IFRS 9 "Credit Impaired" perimeter. Additionally, the adoption of the new Definition of Default as at the time of the first implementation, namely at 1.1.2021, did not induce any impact on the Group's financial figures. For the first semester of 2021, the implementation of the new Default definition resulted in an increase of the credit impaired exposures of € 147 million for the Group.

28. Capital adequacy

The policy of the Group is to maintain strong capital ratios and ample buffers over requirements in order to ensure the delivery of Alpha Bank S.A.'s strategy and the development and trust of depositors, shareholders, markets and business partners.

Share capital increases are conducted following resolutions of the General Meeting of Shareholders of Board of Directors, in accordance with articles of incorporation or relevant laws.

For the period that 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, according to the Relationship Framework Agreement (RFA) which has been signed between the Bank and the HFSF.

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 also counterparty credit risk and CVA risk), the market risk of the trading book and the operational risk.

Alpha Bank S.A., as a systemic bank, is supervised by the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) of the European Central Bank (ECB), since November 2014, to which reports are submitted every quarter. The supervision is conducted in accordance with the European Regulation 575/2013 (CRR) as amended, inter alia, by European Regulation (EU) 2019/876 of the European Parliament and the Council ("CRR 2"), and European Directive 2013/36 (CRD IV), as incorporated into Greek Law 4261/2014 and amended by Directive 2019/878 (CRD V) and incorporated by Law 4799/2021.

For the calculation of capital adequacy ratio the above regulatory framework is followed. In addition:

  • Besides the 8% capital adequacy limit, there are applicable limits of 4.5% for CET 1 ratio and 6% for Tier 1 ratio, respectively
  • The maintenance of capital buffers additional to the CET1 capital are required. In particular the Combined Buffer Requirement (CBR) consisting of:
  • the Capital conservation buffer stands at 2.5%.
  • the following capital buffers set by the Bank of Greece through Executive Committee Acts:
    • Countercyclical capital buffer equal to "zero percent" (0%) for 2021
    • Other systemically important institutions (O-SII) buffer, which will gradually rise to "one percent" (1%) from 1.1.2019 to 1.1.2023. For 2021, the O-SII buffer stands at 0.5%.

These limits should be met both on a standalone and on consolidated basis.

The following table presents the capital adequacy ratios of the Group:

30.6.2021 31.12.2020
Common Equity Tier I Ratio 12.8% 17.3%
Tier I Ratio 12.8% 17.3%
Total Capital Adequacy Ratio* 15.5% 18.4%

On 28 December 2020, the ECB informed Alpha Bank S.A. before the demerger that since 31st January 2021 the minimum limit for the Overall Capital Requirement (OCR) remains unchanged from 2020 at 14%. The OCR is composed by the minimum own funds requirements (8%), according to article 92(1) of the CRR, the additional Pillar II own funds requirements (P2R), according to article 16(2) (a) of the Regulation 1024/2013/EU which corresponds to 3%, and the combined buffer requirements (CBR), according to article 128(6) of the Directive 2013/36/EU which correspond to 3%. The above minimum ratio should be maintained on a phase-in basis under applicable transitional rules of the CRR/CRD IV, at all times.

As part of the strategic capital management during 2021, Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. has successfully completed:

  • On March 4th 2021, as part of its capital management strategy, Alpha Bank S.A. successfully placed a Euro 500 million, Tier 2 bond with institutional investors aiming to maintain its strong capital ratios and ample buffers over applicable requirements. The subordinated bond has a 10.25-year maturity and is callable anytime between year 5 and year 5.25 with a coupon of 5.5%. The bond is listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange – EuroMTF Market.
  • On July 2, 2021, the offer of € 800 million of new common shares further strengthening its regulatory capital and capital ratios.

Measures taken for the banks in order to tackle Covid-19 pandemic

As the economic effects of the coronavirus (Covid-19) started becoming apparent, the ECB, the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Commission (EC), announced a number of measures to ensure that the banks they supervise will continue to fulfil their role in funding the real economy.

Specifically, starting from March 2020, the ECB and the EBA announced the following relaxation measures for the minimum capital requirements for Banks in the Eurozone:

  • Banks are temporarily allowed to operate below the level of capital defined by the Capital Conservation Buffer and the Countercyclical Buffer. In addition, on July 2020, the ECB announced through a press release that financial institutions are allowed to operate below the aforementioned thresholds at least up to the end of 2022.
  • Furthermore, the change expected in January 2021 under CRD V regarding the composition of the Pillar 2 requirement (P2R) buffer was brought forward allowing the (P2R) to be covered by Additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital by 18.75% and Tier 2 (T2) capital by 25% and not only by CET 1.
  • In parallel ECB issued a recommendation to banks to limit the payment of dividends and share buy-backs. According to a

* Data relating to the disclosure of regulatory information on capital adequacy of risk management (Pillar ΙΙΙ - Regulation 575/2013) will be published on the Bank's website.

press release issued by the ECB on 23 July 2021 this recommendation remains applicable until 30 September 2021. In addition, on 23 July 2021, the ECB announced that it expects that banks will adopt a prudent and forward-looking approach when deciding on remuneration policies.

The European Commission decided to revise the existing regulatory framework by bringing forward regulations that would normally come with the CRR2/CRDV framework as well as provide a greater flexibility to the phase-in of the impact of the IFRS 9 on capital. The revised framework was published in the Official Journal of the European Union as at June 22, 2020.

In 26 June 2020, the Bank of Greece under an Executive Committee Act determined the capital buffer of systemically important institutions (O-SII) at 0,50%, maintaining stable for 2021 and extending consequently the existing phasing-in period. The third and the fourth phases have been delayed by 12 months each and will apply starting from 1 January 2022 and 1 January 2023 respectively. This decision is in the context of the response to Covid-19 pandemic in order to mitigate the subsequent financial impact.

In 22 December 2020, the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/2176 of the Council of 12 November 2020, amending Delegated Regulation (EU 241/2014 concerning the deduction of software assets from CET1items, was published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

EBA Stress Test

Following the postponement of the 2020 Stress Test due to the outbreak of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) and its global spread, the European Banking Authority (EBA) launched the 2021 EU-wide Stress Test on 29 January 2021.

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). The exercise will be used as an input in the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP). The results of the exercise were published on 30 July 2021. According to the results Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. (Group) successfully concluded the 2021 EU-wide Stress Test under both scenarios. More specifically:

  • Under the baseline scenario, the capital generation for the 3-year period was 2.8% fully absorbing 2.4% IFRS 9 phase-in, resulting in 2023 to a CET1 fully loaded ratio of 17.3% while the 2023 Leverage ratio (fully loaded) came to 13.0%.
  • Under the adverse scenario, the 2023 CET1 fully loaded ratio stood at 8.3%, largely driven by the negative impact of Credit Risk, with the lowest point of CET1 fully loaded at 8.1%, in 2022. The 2023 Leverage ratio (fully loaded) resulted in 6.1%.
  • The Stress Test methodology does not take into account capital strengthening (i.e. Tier II issuance, Share Capital Increase) and balance sheet de-risking, events post December 31st, 2020. Pro-forma with the Share Capital Increase for the baseline scenario, the 2023 CET1 fully loaded ratio reached 19.1%, while the 2023 Leverage ratio (fully loaded) came to 14.4%. Under the adverse scenario, the 2023 CET1 fully loaded ratio stood at 10.2%, while the 2023 Leverage ratio (fully loaded) came to 7.6%.

Minimum Requirements for Eligible Own Funds and Eligible Liabilities

On 15 April 2021, Alpha Bank S.A. before the demerger received a communication from the Single Resolution Board (SRB) regarding the binding Minimum Requirement of Own Funds and Eligible Liabilities (MREL). The requirements are based on the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive ("BRRD2"), which was transposed under Greek law 4799/2021 on 18.5.2021. The SRB decision is based on a single point of entry resolution strategy.

According to the SRB decision, Alpha Bank S.A. needs to meet from 1 January 2026 on a consolidated basis the following MREL requirements, namely 22.76% of Total Risk Exposure Amount (TREA) and 5.91% of Leverage Exposure (LRE). The communication also sets out the interim MREL requirements that must be met from 1 January 2022, namely 14.02% of TREA and 5.91% of LRE.

The MREL ratio expressed as a percentage of RWAs does not include the Combined Buffer Requirement (CBR), currently at 3% and expected to increase to 3.25% on 1 January 2022.

With regard to the requirement for a minimum amount of own funds and subordinated eligible liabilities ("the Subordinated MREL Requirement"), the SRB has decided that no subordination requirement applies to Alpha Bank S.A.

The MREL requirements, including the multi-year transitional period, are in line with Alpha Bank S.A.'s expectations. Alpha Bank S.A.'s long-term funding plan foresees further MREL strengthening so that these requirements can be met when applicable.

31. Restatement of financial statements

In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Group, in order to achieve better presentation, changed the presentation of the interest resulting from negative interest rates reclassifying negative interest from interest bearing assets from "Interest and similar income" to "Interest expense and related charges" in the Income Statement. Similarly the presentation of negative interest from interest bearing liabilities was reclassified from "Interest and related expenses" to "Interest and related income" of the Income Statement. As a result certain captions of the consolidated Statement of Income were restated without changing the results of each period.

Furthermore, the Group retrospectively restated the preferred Class C shares held in Visa International from the category of "Securities valued at fair value through other comprehensive income" to the category of "Securities valued at fair value through profit or loss". In particular, the classification of these shares was revised as the definition of "equity instrument" under IAS32 is not met and therefore there is no option to classify them in the portfolio of securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Consequently, these shares were reclassified retrospectively from the date of first application of IFRS 9 to fair value through profit or loss category of the investment portfolio as "Other variable yield securities". As a result of the above changes, certain captions in Income Statement and Statement of Comprehensive Income of the previous period were restated, as below:

The restated Statement of Income for the period 1 January to 30 June 2020 is presented below:

32. Strategic plan

In May 2021 the Bank announced its Strategic Plan which includes a number of strategic initiatives which are expected to affect the future results of the Group until 2024 and which include specific financial targets. These initiatives are as follows:

a. Targeted reduction of non-performing exposures, which includes:

  • a series of transactions of non-performing exposures of a total book value up to € 8.1 billion which relate to a) a securitization transaction of a book value of up to € 3.5 billion for which an application will be submitted for the provision of Greek Government guarantee under the extended guarantee program "HAPS 2", b) finalization of the sale of a portfolion of small medium enterprises held by the four Greek systemic banks, in which the book value held by the Bank amounts to € 0.4 billion, and c) three sale transactions of which two are in Greece with a total book value in Greece of € 2 billion as at 30.6.2021 and 1 in Cyprus with a total book value at 30.6.2021 of € 2.2 billion. These transactions are intended to decrease the exposure of the Group in non-performing exposures by € 19.8 billion until 2024 (as compared to the end of 2020 and included the decrease due to Galaxy securitization) and to allow the Bank to achieve a single digit NPE ratio within the first semester of 2022 and target to an NPE ration of 2% until the end of 2024. As described in note 8, in the first semester of 2021, the impact on the Group's results from the incorporation of loan sale scenarios in the calculation of expected credit risk losses amounted to € 0.35 billion. In order to complete the transactions, the Group may recognize additional impairment losses which, based on current estimates, amount to € 1 billion. This amount includes the amount of € 0.69 billion which is mentioned in note 8 as the estimated impact from the implementation of a sale scenario with a 100% probability for the loan portfolios that during the calculation of the expected impairment losses it is possible to incorporate a sale scenario.
  • a series of internal capital measures to support the Bank's NPE initiatives by providing additional capital buffers. These measures include the sale of our merchant acquiring business and formation of strategic partnership, the sale of Alpha Bank Albania, the sale of Alpha Bank London, the establishment of a joint venture with an international partner in the real estate market and a synthetic securitization transaction, each of which are expected to be completed by 2022. The successful completion of these internal capital measures is expected to ensure the maintenance of an adequate capital base above minimum requirements
  • b. Measures for the decrease of the operating expenses and the improvement of the efficiency of the operations, focusing on the basic banking operations, decreasing operating cross across the organization, improving and enhancing the digital platform and by applying policies for sustainable banking with the integration of environment, social and governance (ESG) criteria.
  • c. Initiatives for the increase of income from commissions, mainly through wealth management and bancassurance products.
  • d. Initiatives for the increase of the international footprint, especially in Romania

ACCOUNTING POLICIES APPLIED

1.1 Basis of presentation

The Company has prepared the condensed interim financial statements for the current period ending at 30.6.2021 in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as it has been adopted by the European Union and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31.12.2020.

Within the second quarter, the hive-down of the banking business sector, through which all the assets and liabilities identified as relating to the banking business sector were transferred to a new credit institution incorporated for this purpose, was completed and the Company was transformed into a Holding company. As described in detail in note "Corporate Tranformation-Demerger", the aforementioned transaction was accounted for as an intragroup reorganization under which, in accordance with the accounting policy of the Company, assets and liabilities were transferred at book values while the Company recognized an investment in the new credit institution equal to the book value of net assets transferred.

Apart from the above accounting policy adopted for the first time in the context of the hive-down, the accounting policies applied by the Company in preparing the condensed interim financial statements are the same as those stated in the published financial statements for the year ended on 31.12.2020, both for the assets and liabilities presented in the comparative period and the assets and liabilities remained in the Company following hive-down. In addition, the amendments to standards which were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), adopted by the European Union and applied on 1.1.2021, regarding which further analysis is provided in note 1.1.2 were taken into account.

It is also noted that since the Company is now a holding company with limited activity compared to the Group, which is conducted only in Greece, it decided to make use of the exception provided in IFRS 8 and not to disclose segment information since its financial statements are included in the same financial report with the consolidated financial statements.

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:

  • Securities held for trading
  • Derivative financial instruments
  • Loans and advances to customers measured at fair value through profit or loss
  • Investment securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
  • Investment securities measured at fair value through profit or loss
  • The contingent consideration recognized either as a result of a business combination in which the Company is the acquirer or in the context of asset disposal transactions in which the Company is the seller.

The financial statements are presented in Euro, rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.

1.1.1 Going concern

The financial statements as at 30.6.2021 have been prepared based on the going concern principle. It is noted that since the activity of the Company is directly related to the activity of the new credit institution that is its subsidiary, the assessment of the going concern principle of the Company is directly related to the going concern of the Bank and the Group. For the application of this principle, the Board of Directors took into account 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:

Developments in the macroeconomic environment

The emergence and rapid spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 upset the outlook for the global and greek economy. National governments, in an effort to boost the resilience of their economies, have been forced to take emergency fiscal measures to support national health systems and ensure employment and entrepreneurship. The global vaccination campaign

contributed to the gradual acceleration of the economic recovery, however the growth rate between economies and economic sectors is asymmetric, since vaccination rate and economic policy differ per country. Despite the positive prospects, challenges and uncertainties are still present with regards to the development of the covid pandemic and its variants, as well as the potential effects of a more permanent nature on production,employment, behaviour of households, resilience of businesses and risks of financing weak economies.

The pandemic crisis interrupted the mild recovery that the Greek economy had entered since 2017. During the first wave of the pandemic, in March and April 2020, Greece managed to curb the exponential spread of contamination, due to the timely adoption of restrictive measures. Following the gradual easing of the first lockdown from May 2020 onwards, economic activity gradually returned to normal in the third quarter of 2020, which was reflected in real GDP growth of 3.8% on a quarterly basis (with seasonal adjustment). The anti-cyclical fiscal policy of the Greek government partially offset the negative consequences of the recession (-8.2%) of 2020, however the Greek economy, despite the heavy losses, showed remarkable resilience and ability to adapt to the new conditions. The recession in 2020 could reach 17.5% without fiscal intervention.

The second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in Europe in the autumn and winter of 2020 and the third wave in the first quarter of 2021 necessitated the re-implementation of restrictive measures. The economic activity, following its significant decline in 2020, has slown down and declined again by 2.3% on annual basis on the first quarter of 2021. However, the decline was significantly lower than expected, as the fiscal measures adopted by the Greek government, in relation with intervention policy measures by the European bodies, contributed substantially in reducing the consequences of the pandemic.The vaccination program that commenced in late 2020 played a pivotal role in the improvement of the economic climate and the result indicators in the first quarter of 2021. The recovery of demand is projected to gain ground later in 2021 (specifically from the second quarter) and together with the rising of national vaccination rates and absorption of Next Generation EU (NGEU) funds, will lead to a positive growth rate of the Greek economy.

The European Commission (Economic Forecast, Summer 2021) forecasts a recovery in 2021 by 4.3%, while the IMF in its recent report (World Economic Outlook, April 2021) by 3.8%. According to the forecasts of the Bank of Greece (Monetary Policy Report 2020-2021, June 2021), the recovery in 2021 is estimated at 4.2%.

The effectiveness of vaccination programs, both in Greece and in the countries of origin of tourists, will determine the degree of recovery of economic activity and the easing of restrictive measures. A crucial parameter for the gradual return of tourism is the lifting of travel restrictions and the reduction of the need for social distancing. Returning to normalcy in this area, however, is likely to take longer. In accordance with the survey of UNWTO (World Tourism Barometer, January 2021), 51% of respondents in Europe expects the return of international tourism to pre-pandemic levels happening in 2023 and 35% of respondents in 2024 or later.

The return of arrivals and income from tourism in 40% of the high levels of 2019 could be considered a feasible target for 2021, as long as favorable conditions are created, being a development that will contribute to the gradual reduction in deficit in the balance of payments.

The prospect of access to the Next Generation EU (NGEU) funds, and in particular the European Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), from the second half of 2021, can significantly enhance the growth potential of the country. The investments that are expected to be made will be mainly directed at green and digital development. In total, during the period 2021- 2026, the Greek economy is expected to benefit by € 30.5 billion, of which € 17.8 billion relate to grants and € 12.7 billion to loans on favorable terms. The Greek Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP), Greece 2.0, recently approved by the European Commission is the vehicle for the absorption of Next Generation EU (NGEU) funds and includes a series of investments and structural reforms aiming at the strengthening of business environment, of the green and digital transitions of public and private sector.

The upgrade of Greece's sovereign credit rating by one degree at the end of April 2021 by the credit rating agency S&P Global Ratings, to 'BB' from 'BB-' and the improvement of the prospects of the Greek economy from "stable" to "positive" confirms the enhanced confidence of investors in the growth prospects of Greek economy. In accordance wih the credit rating agency, the Greek economy currently presents strong growth prospects, at a rate that is expected to overcome the European average rate in the next three years.

Liquidity

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 money markets (with or without collaterals).

The Bank made use of the TLTRO III program of the European Central Bank and ensured long-term liquidity with significantly low interest rates. In this context, the total financing from the European Central Bank on 30.6.2021 amounts to € 12.9 billion. 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 amount of 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 € 9.7 billion. In addition to the financing from the European Central Bank, the Bank has no liabilities from bond maturities in 2021. Additionally, in the first semester of 2021 there was an increase in Group deposits by € 1.2 billion. 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.

Capital Adequacy

On 30.6.2021, the Common Equity Tier I of the Group was 12.8% and the Total Capital Adequacy Ratio was 15.5%. These levels are significantly higher than the levels set by the European Central Bank. 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. In order to strengthen its capital, the Bank issued on 4.3.2021 a new Tier 2 bond, amounting to € 500 million, with a 10.25-year maturity callable anytime between year 5 and year 5.25 and with a coupon of 5.5%. It is also noted that within the first half of 2021 the Company recognized significant losses as a result of the finalization of the Galaxy transaction, however the Group capital adequacy stood at a level higher that the capital requirement thresholds. In addition, within the first half of 2021 the share capital increase of the Company was completed resulting in raising funds of € 800 million. Finally, 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). In this context, it is estimated that for the next 12 months the Total Capital Adequacy Ratio will be higher than the limits that have been set.

Updated Strategic Plan 2021-2024

In May 2021 the Bank announced the Updated Strategic Plan for the return of the Group to sustainable profitability. The updated Strategic Plan is based on the following initiatives:

  • The asset growth, with specific focus on corporate loans, in the context of the anticipated recovery of the Greek economy and the psospects developed by the Recovery and Resilience Fund (RRF), enhancing Net Interest Income and Fee and Commission Income for the Bank.
  • The initiatives for the reduction of non-performing exposures (NPEs), which include the Galaxy transaction, which was completed on 18th June 2021, as well as a series of other transactions, that refer to a total gross book value of € 8.1 billion of NPEs, part of which relate to securitizations under the extension of the HAPS scheme («HAPS 2»), but also to the ongoing organic NPE reduction.
  • The initiatives for efficiency enhancements, with the aim to achieve operational excellence and reducing operating costs throughout the organization.
  • The initiatives for the growth of fees and commissions income, through low-intensity capital operations, such as Wealth Management products and services and the supply of Bancassurance products.
  • The initiatives for the development of the Groups' international presence, including utilization of additional funds in Romania where the banking sector has a strong growth outlook.

In order to support the implementation of the updated Strategic Plan regarding the asset growth, the Company completed successfully the share capital increase, raising new funds of euro 800 million. The Group estimates that the share capital increase ensures, in principle, the growth capital expected to be deployed for this purpose until the end of 2024.

The Updated Strategic Plan aims overall at the full remediation of Groups'balance sheet and the achievement in the medium

term of return on equity of 10%, while maintaining satisfactory capital position, higher than the applicable minimum capital requirements in force.

As a result of the total of activities and initiatives included in the Updated Strategic Plan for 2021, total CAD at group level is foreseen to be at levels much higher than the minimum capital requirements, remaining more than 16% over the weighted assets.

Based on the above and taking into account:

  • the Group's high capital adequacy through which it can implement the actions provided in the Updated Strategic Plan,
  • the satisfactory liquidity of the Group,
  • the actions taken by the Group for the management and decrease of the amount of non-performing loans,
  • the measures taken by the Group to protect its employees from coronavirus, the implementation of actions under the Business Continuity Plan and the activation of the ability for teleworking at a large scale whilst ensuring that critical operations are performed
  • the actions taken to enhance efficiency and profitability,
  • the decisions of the eurozone countries to adopt a series of fiscal and other measures to stimulate the economy, according to which Greece is expected to receive € 30.5 bln from the recovery package for Europe "Next Generation EU"

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 interim condensed financial statements are met.

1.1.2 Adoption of new standards and of amendments to standards

The following are the amendments to standards applied from 1.1.2021:

On 25.6.2020 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IFRS 4 with which extended the temporary exception from applying IFRS 9 by two years. In this context, companies that have used the temporary exception from applying IFRS 9 shall apply the standard by 1.1.2023.

The adoption of the above amendment had no impact on the financial statements of the Company.

‣ Amendment to International Financial Reporting Standard 9 "Financial Instruments", to the International Accounting Standard 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement", to International Financial Reporting Standard 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures", to International Financial Reporting Standard 4 "Insurance Contracts" and International Financial Reporting Standard 16 "Leases": Interest rate benchmark reform – phase 2 (Regulation 2021/25/13.1.2021)

On 27.10.2020 the International Accounting Standard Board issued amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 in the context of Phase 2 of the IBOR project that address issues that arise following the reform of an interest rate benchmark rate, including the replacement of one benchmark rate with an alternative one. The key reliefs provided by the Phase 2 amendments are as follows:

  • Changes to contractual cash flows: When changing the basis for determining contractual cash flows for financial assets and liabilities (including lease liabilities), the reliefs have the effect that the changes that are required by an interest rate benchmark reform will not result in an immediate gain or loss in the income statement but in the recalculation of the interest rate. The same practical expedient applies for insurers that are applying the temporary exemption from IFRS 9.
  • Hedge accounting: The hedge accounting reliefs ensure that changes to the hedge documentation do not result in the discontinuation of hedge accounting nor the designation of a new hedge relationship, as long as the only changes are those permitted by the Phase 2 Amendments. Permitted changes include redefining the hedged risk to reference a risk-free rate and redefining the description of the hedging instruments and/or the hedged items to reflect the risk-free rate. However, additional ineffectiveness might need to be recorded in profit or loss statement.

The adoption of the above amendment had no impact on the financial statements of the Company.

The Company is examining the impact form 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 31.12.2020.

1.2 Significant accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Significant accounting judgments

The Company, in the context of applying accounting policies, makes judgments that may affect the amounts recognized in the financial statements. Those judgements, which have not changed substantially compared with those applied to the financial statements for the year ended 31.12.2020, relate to the following:

Assessment of whether contractual cash flows of a debt financial instrument represent solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (SPPI)

The Company, 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.
  • For loans in special purpose entities, whether there is a non-recourse feature. The assessment is based on specific index thresholds as well as on the evaluation of the adequacy of equity and of the collaterals that are not related to the asset being financed.
  • Whether in case of prepayment or extension the compensation received is considered fair.

Significant judgements relating to the selection of methodologies and models for expected credit losses calculation

The Company, in the context of the application of its accounting policies for the measurement of the expected credit losses makes judgments in order to identify:

  • the criteria that indicate a significant increase in credit risk,
  • the choice of appropriate methodologies for expected credit loss calculation (expected credit loss calculation on an individual or on a collective basis),
  • the choice and development of appropriate models used to calculate the exposure at default by financial instrument category (EAD), the probability of default (PD), the estimated expected credit loss at the time of default (LGD), the probability of forbearance (PF) and the choice of appropriate parameters and economic forecasts used in them,

  • the choice of the parameters of the macroeconomic forecasts used in the models to determine the expected life and the date of initial recognition of revolving exposures,

  • the grouping of financial assets based on similar credit risk characteristics.

Applying different judgments could significantly affect the number of financial instruments classified in stage 2 or significantly differentiate expected credit loss.

It is noted that as far as significant judgements relating to moratoria and public guarantee in the context of the pandemic Covid-19 is concerned, what is stated in note 1.3 of the financial statements as at 31.12.2020 is applicable to the comparative period of these financial statements. It is noted, however that, from 1.4.2021, there are no moratoria due to the pandemic.

Income Tax

The recognition of assets and liabilities for current and deferred tax is affected by factors such as the practical implementation of the relevant legislation and the settlement of disputes that might exist with tax authorities etc. 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 Company.

Classification of non-current assets as held for sale

The Company 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 Company p takes into account the receipt of the required approvals (both regulatory and those given by the General Meeting and itsCommittees), the receipt of offers (binding or not) and the singing of agreements as well as of any conditions included in them.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Key sources of estimation uncertainty used by the Company in the context of applying its accounting principles and which have a significant impact on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are presented below.

Fair value of assets and liabilities

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 potential counterparty default.

Estimates included in the calculation of expected credit losses (notes 7 and 21)

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 determination of the alternative macroeconomic scenarios and the cumulative probabilities associated with these scenarios,
  • the probability of default during a specific time period based on historical data, the assumptions and estimates for the future,
  • the probability of forbearance (PF) for retail portfolios,
  • the determination of the expected cash flows and the flows from the liquidation of collaterals,
  • the determination of the adjustments to the expected credit loss models and
  • the integration of loan portfolio sales scenarios taking into account on the one hand any factors that may hinder the realization of the sale and on the other hand the level of satisfaction of the conditions for the completion of the sale.

Finally, it is noted that regarding significant estimates on expected credit losses calculation on loans affected by Covid-19 pandemic what is stated in note 1.3 of the financial statements as at 31.12.2020 is applicable to the comparative period of these financial statements. It is noted, however that, from 1.4.2021, there are no moratoria due to the pandemic.

Impairment losses on investments in subsidiaries and on non - financial assets

The Company, at each reporting date, assesses for impairment intangible assets, as well as its investments in subsidiaries 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.

The estimates and judgments applied by the Company in preparing the financial statements are based on historical information and assumptions which at present are considered appropriate. The estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis to take into account current conditions, and the effect of any revisions is recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised.

CORPORATE TRANSFORMATION – HIVE DOWN

The Board of Directors decided on 1.6.2020 the initiation of the demerger by way of hive-down of the banking business sector and the incorporation of a new company in accordance with Article 16 of Law 2515/1997 and par. 3 of Article 57 of Law 4601/2019 and article 59 to 74 of Law 4601/2019.

The Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders of 2.4.2021 resolved a) the demerger of the société anonyme under the name "Alpha Bank S.A." (the "Demerged"), by way of hive-down of the banking business sector with the incorporation of a new company, pursuant to article 16 of law 2515/1997, par. 3 of article 54, par. 3 of article 57 and articles 59-74 and 140 of law 4601/2019, b) the Draft Demerger Deed dated 15.9.2020, including the Transformation Balance Sheet dated 30.6.2020 and c) the Articles of Incorporation of the Beneficiary.

The demerger was approved pursuant to the decision of the Ministry of Development and Investments no. 45089/16.4.2021 dated April 16, 2021, by way of hive-down of the banking business sector with the incorporation of a new company which was registered in General Commercial Register (GEMI) on the same day. As a consequence of the Hive-down:

a. A new credit institution was incorporated under the name "Alpha Bank S.A." ("the Beneficiary") which substituted as universal successor, in all the transferred Banking Business Sector (assets and liabilities), as set out in the transformation balance sheet of the transferred banking business sector dated June 30, 2020 and formed up 16.4.2021, day of the Hive down completion.

The new credit institution Alpha Bank S.A. was licensed by European Central Bank to operate as a credit institution pursuant to the provisions of L.4601/2014 and Regulation (EU) 1024/2013

b. The Demerged becomes the shareholder of the Beneficiary assuming all shares issued by the Beneficiary and in particular 50,838,244,961 common, registered shares with voting rights, of a nominal value of Euro 0.10 each.

On 19.4.2021 the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation of the demerged entity was approved, pursuant to the decision of the Ministry of Development and Investments no. 45898/19.4.2021, and the operating license of the demerged entity as a credit institution was revoked. According to article 1 of the Articles of Association, the corporate name and the trade name of the Demerged changed to "Alpha Services and Holdings S.A.".

The Stock Exchange was informed about the aforementioned decision on 19.4.2021 and therefore, the date of the change of the corporate name and the trade name of the Company on the Athens Stock Exchange is set at 20.4.2021.

The Demerged become the parent of Alpha Bank S.A. with the following main scope of business: (a) the direct and indirect participation in domestic and/or foreign companies and undertakings that already exist or to be established, of any form and object whatsoever, (b) the design, promotion and distribution of insurance products in the name and on behalf of one or more insurance undertakings in the capacity of insurance agent in accordance with the applicable legislation, (c) the provision of supporting accounting and tax services to affiliated companies and third parties as well as the elaboration of studies on strategic and financial management and (d) the issuance of securities for raising regulatory capital which are expected to take the form of notes or bonds.

The rights of the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund will be retained and preserved in full after the completion of the Hive-Down.

Demerger by way of hive-down

The Demerger resulted in the incorporation of a new company (under the name Alpha Bank S.A.) which assumed all the activities of the former Alpha Bank S.A. that related to the banking sector. It is therefore considered as business combination between entities under common control (Alpha Bank S.A. is the subsidiary of former Alpha Bank S.A. which become holding entity under the name Alpha Services and Holdings S.A.) and is therefore scoped out of IFRS 3 "Business Combinations". In addition since Alpha Bank S.A. is a newly established entity, it cannot be considered as the acquirer in the transaction and therefore the demerger cannot be considered as a business combination and is effectively a reorganization within the Group.

In accordance with the accounting policy of the Group is that the transactions between group entities that involve the incorporation of new entities to which the assets and liabilities of a sector of another group entity are transferred this is accounted at book values. Furthemore, information from the date of the intragroup restruction will be included onwards in both separate and consolidated financial statements of Alpha Bank Group.

In this context the accounting of the Demerger involved the following:

i. Based on the Demerger Deed, Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. maintained the activities relating to the planning, promotion and distribution of insurance products in the capacity of insurance agent, as well as the provision of accounting and tax services to affiliated companies and third parties, as well as the preparation of studies for the strategy and financial management of titles and the issuance of securities for for raising regulatory capital. It also maintained certain investments relating to above operations and in particular to: Alpha Group Jersey Ltd, Alpha Insurance Brokerage S.A., Alpha Life AAEZ, Reoco Orion X S.M S.A., Reoco Galaxy IΙ S.M S.A., Reoco Galaxy ΙV S.M S.A.

It also retained the contractual rights and obligations of subordinated issues and borrowing funds to Alpha Group Jersey Ltd as well as of the bonds issued under the Galaxy securitization except for the 100% of the senior notes and the 5% of the mezzanine and junior tranches which were transferred to Alpha Bank S.A. Because of the holding of the aforementioned notes the Company continued to recognize the loans securitized under the Galaxy securitization in accordance with IFRS 9.

  • ii. The assets and liabilities which were not maintained by Alpha Services Holdings S.A. and which were determined to relate to the banking sector were transferred to Alpha Bank S.A. at book values.
  • iii. Given that until the hive-down the notes issued under Galaxy securitization were held by Alpha Bank S.A. before demerger these notes and the related liabilities were not recognized. The transfer of part of the notes to the Bank resulted in the recognition by Alpha Bank S.A.of the 100% of the senior notes and 5% of the mezzanine and junior notes at fair values (see Table I column B). Similarly, Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. recognized a liability equal to the amount of the bonds recognized by the Alpha Bank S.A., which also included the netting of the assets and liabilities deriving from the securitization and transactions with the special purpose entities. Alpha Bank S.A. recognized these notes under Loans and advances to customers, as the intention was to hold the notes until maturity in order to collect principal and interest, the risks associated with these bonds as well as the management of such risks relate to the risks of the underlying loans which were originated by the Bank and were subsequently securitized under Galaxy securitization and the new Alpha Bank S.A. substituted the former Bank in the banking sector. In contrast the bonds of the Galaxy securitization, which were not transferred to Alpha Bank S.A., but were held by Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. were classified as Investment securities as the intention of the company is to sell or distribute them.
  • iv. Alpha Bank S.A. recognized on its balance sheet the assets, liabilities and equity reserves transferred based on their carrying amount as at 16.4.2021 and any difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities transferred between 30.6.2020 and 16.4.2021 was recognized directly in retained earnings. Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. recognized its investment in Alpha Bank S.A.at cost, being the difference between the book value of the assets, liabilities and equity accounts derecognized taking into consideration also the liability recognized as a result of the transfer to Alpha Bank S.A. of part of the notes issued under the Galaxy securitization.
  • v. The equity of Alpha Bank S.A.at the date of the demerger comprises of the share capital as this was determined based on the Transformation Balance sheet prepared based on Law 2515/1997 and Law 4601/2019 and includes all assets and liabilities of the banking sector as of 30.6.2020, the valuation reserves of bonds and shares, the cash flow hedging reserves which were transferred to Alpha Bank S.A. at the hive down and the retained earnings.

The activities transferred in the context of the hive-down to Alpha Bank S.A., meet in the second quarter of 2021 the definition of discontinued operations in the separate financial statements of Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. and therefore the relevant results and cash flows are presented as derived from discontinued operations in the Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income and Cash Flow, restating the comparative period. It is noted that the separation of results between continued and discontinued operations does not include any deemed revenue or expenses or the result of transactions between the Banking business sector that demerged and the sectors that remained in Alpha Services and Holdings S.A.

The table below presents the assets, liabilities and equity reserves transferred to Alpha Bank S.A. on the date of the hive-down, the required adjustments in the context of the application of the accounting treatment as well as the statement of financial position of Alpha Bank S.A. and Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. as of the same date.

On 30.4.2020 Alpha Bank S.A. before the demerger completed in accordance with the provisions of article 10 of Law 3156/2003, the securitization of a portfolio of consumer, mortgage and corporate loans and receivables to special purpose entities. In particular, Alpha Bank S.A. transferred non-performing loan portfolios to four special purpose entities, Orion Securitisation Designated Activity Company, Galaxy II Funding Designated Activity Company, Galaxy IV Funding Designated Activity Company

and Galaxy III Funding Designated Activity Company, set up for this purpose, which in turn issued notes. The three securitizations follow a three-tranche structure and have issued senior, mezzanine and junior notes. Alpha Bank S.A. before the demerger acquired the total of the notes and maintained in all cases the risks and rewards deriving from the securitized portfolios, which resulted to not derecognizing the loans.

In February 2021, a binding agreement was concluded with Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP, which provided for the sale of 51% of the mezzanine and junior bonds of the Non-performing Exposure portfolio issued by Orion Securitization Designated Activity Company, Galaxy II Funding Designated Activity Company and Galaxy IV Funding Designated Activity Company.

The sale was concluded on 18.6.2021 at a consideration of € 5,778. Following the sale of the mezzanine and junior notes, the Company ceased to have the control over the securitized loans, given that the special purose entitites have practically the right to transfer them to third party. As a result the Company proceeded to derecognition of loans and recognised losses from derecognition of financial assets measured at amortized cost amounting to € 2,238,989.

In respect of the calculation of the specific amount besides the consideration, the following were taken into consideration:

  • the carrying amount of the derecognized securitized portfolio of € 5,810,559,
  • the book value of the financial liabilities amounting to € 3,796,056 recognized at the demerger for the 100% of the senior notes and 5% of the mezzanine and junior notes contributed to Alpha Bank S.A.
  • the net book value of € 228,721 of the financial receivables from the special purpose entities that had been recognized in the context of the securitization transaction of the loans.
  • the fair value of € 17,524 recognized for the 44% of the mezzanine and junior bonds held by the Company.
  • the transaction costs of a total amount of € 19,067.

The balance of securitized loans in the special purpose vehicle, Galaxy III Funding Designated Activity Company measured at amortized cost as of 30.6.2021 amounts to € 219,310. At 31.12.2020 the book value of the total loans of the Galaxy securitization amounted to € 6,043,792.

As at 30.6.2021, there are no claims or lawsuits against the Company that are expected to have a significant impact on the Equity or the operations of the Company.

b. Tax issues

Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. has been audited by the tax authorities until 2010. Years 2011, 2012 and 2013 are considered as closed, in accordance with the Ministerial Decision 1208/20.12.2017 of the Independent Public Revenue Authority. On 13.7.2020 a regular audit order was issued for the year 2014, which was completed in December 2020. For the years 2011 up to 2019, the Company has obtained a tax certificate with no qualifications according to the article 82 of Law 2238/1994 and the article 65A of Law 4174/2013. The tax audit for the tax certificate of 2020 is in progress. Emporiki Bank has been audited by the tax authorities for the years up to and including 2008. Years 2009-2013 are considered as closed, in accordance with the Ministerial Decision 1208/20.12.2017 of the Independent Public Revenue Authority. For the years 2011 up to 2013 Emporiki Bank has obtained a tax certificate with no qualifications. Alpha Bank S.A. derived from the demerger of the banking activity and began its operations on 16.4.2021, the first tax year will be 1.7.2020 until 31.12.2021.

The Alpha Bank S.A. branch in London has been audited by the tax authorities up to and including 2016, the cease of operations of which has been announced in business registry at 23.12.2020.

The Alpha Bank S.A. branch in Luxemburg started its operation on June 2020.

On 2.6.2015, the merger by absorption of Diners Club of Greece A.E.P.P. was completed. Diners Club of Greece A.E.P.P. has been audited by the tax authorities for the years up to and including 2010. Years 2011 until 2014 are considered as closed, in accordance with the Ministerial Decision 1208/20.12.2017 of the Independent Public Revenue Authority. For the years 2011 up to 2013 Diners Club of Greece A.E.P.P. has obtained a tax certificate with no qualifications.

Based on Ministerial Decision 1006/5.1.2016 there is no exemption from tax audit by the tax authorities to those entities that have been tax audited by the independent auditor and they have received an unqualified tax audit certificate. Therefore, the tax authorities may reaudit the tax books for previous years.

Additional taxes, interest on late submission and penalties may be imposed by tax authorities, as a result of tax audits for unaudited tax years, the amount of which cannot be accurately determined.

c. Off balance sheet commitments

Contingent liabilities for the Company arise from the undrawn loan commitments, which are to be executed only if the counterparties comply with the conditions agreed for their execution. As at 30.6.2021, the balance of the above undrawn loan commitments amounted to € 1,625.

The expected credit loss for the undrawn loan commitments, which are recognized in the Balance sheet caption "Provisions" amounted to € 11 on 30.6.2021 (note 16).

d. Pledged assets

The entity did not have any pledged assets as at 30.6.2021.

The table above depicts the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost along with their carrying amount.

The fair value of loans measured at amortised cost is estimated using discounting cash flow models for the contractual cash flows till maturity. The components of the discount rate are the interbank market yield curve, the liquidity premium, the operational cost, the capital requirement and the expected loss rate. Specifically, for loans that for credit risk purposes are classified as impaired and are individually assessed for impairment, the model uses the expected future cash flows after deducting the expected credit losses. For the fair valuation of the impaired loans which are assessed on product level, assumptions for principal repayment after deducting expected credit losses are used. The discount rate of impaired loans consisted of the interbank market yield curve, the liquidity premium, the operational cost and the capital requirement. In addition, the fair value of the loans of 30.6.2021 has incorporated the sale scenario (with 100% probability) for the loan portfolio with a possible reduction of the value of the loans amounting to approximately € 162 million.

The fair value of due to customers for the comparative period, was estimated based on the interbank market yield curve, the operational cost and the liquidity premium until their maturity.

Fair value of debt securities and securities in issue is estimated with the use of market prices, given that they traded in an active market. For the remaining cases, the discounted cash flows method is used where all variables are based on observable data or a combination of observable and non-observable market data. The fair value of the remaining financial assets and liabilities that are measured at amortized cost does not differ significantly from their book value.

The above tables presents the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments based on the data used for the determination of fair value.

For the determination of the fair value of the notes issued in the content of the Galaxy transaction and recognized on 18.6.2021, the transaction price for the sale of loans on 18.6.2021 was used and have been classified in Level 3.

As of 31.12.2020, the following are applicable for the fair value hierarchy and determination of securities and derivatives:

Level 1 included securities traded in an active market and exchange-traded derivatives.

Level 2 included securities whose fair value was calculated based on non-binding market prices provided by dealers-brokers or securities whose fair value is estimated based the income approach methodology with the use of interest rates and credit spreads which are observable in the market.

Level 3 included securities whose fair value was estimated using significant unobservable inputs.

The valuation methodology of securities was subject to approval by the Treasury and Balance Sheet Management / Assets Liabilities Management Committees. It should be noted that specifically for securities whose fair value was calculated based on market prices, bid prices are considered and daily checks were performed with regards to their change in fair value.

Shares whose fair value was estimated were classified to 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 shares not traded in an active market was determined either based on the Bank's share on the issuer's equity or by the multiples valuation method or the estimations made by the Bank regarding the future profitability of the issuer taking into account 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 were used: discounted cash flow models, option-pricing models or other widely accepted financial valuation models.

The valuation methodology of the over the counter derivatives was subject to approval by the Treasury and Balance Sheet Management / Assets Liabilities Management Committees. Mid prices were considered as both long and short positions may be open. Valuations were checked on a daily basis with the respective prices of the counterparty banks in the context of the daily process of provision of collaterals and settlement of derivatives. If the non observable inputs were significant, the fair value that arose was classified as Level 3 or otherwise as Level 2.

In addition, the Bank before the demerger calculated the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) in order to take into account the counterparty credit risk for the OTC derivatives. In particular, taking into consideration its own credit risk, the Bank before the demerger calculated the bilateral credit valuation adjustment (Bilateral CVA/BCVA) for the OTC derivatives held on a counterparty level according to netting and collateral agreements in force. BCVA was calculated across all counterparties with a material effect on the respective derivative fair values taking into consideration the default probability of both the counterparty and Bank, the impact of the first to default, the expected OTC derivative exposure, the loss given default of the counterparty and of Bank and the specific characteristics of netting and collateral agreements in force.

Collaterals were simulated along with the derivative portfolio exposure over the life of the related instruments. Calculations

performed depended largely on observable market data. Market quoted counterparty and Bank's CDS spreads were 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 were taken into account and subsequently a series of simulations were 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 were determined using the Bank's internal models for credit rating and collateral valuation. BCVA model was validated from an independent division of the Bank according to best practices.

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" for the year ended 31.12.2020 is presented below:

b. Loans to customers measured at amortised cost

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 Company, from credit risk perspective, monitors the respective adjustment as part of the provisions. 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 that led to derecognition. Relevant adjustment has also been performed 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.

24. Restatement of financial statements

During the second semester of 2020 Alpha Bank S.A. before the demerger restated, in order to appropriately present its results, the presentation of negative interest by reclassifying negative interest from interest bearing assets from "Interest and similar income" to "Interest expense and similar charges" in the Income Statement. Similarly the presentation of negative interest from interest bearing liabilities was reclassified from "Interest expense and similar charges" to "Interest and similar income" of the Income Statement.

Furthermore, Alpha Bank S.A. before the demerger retrospectively restated the preferred Class C shares held in Visa International from the category of "Securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income" to the category of "Securities measured at fair value through profit or loss". In particular, the classification of these equity securities was revised as the definition of "equity instrument" under IAS32 is not met and therefore there is no option to classify them in the portfolio of securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Consequently, these equity securities were reclassified retrospectively from the date of first implementation of IFRS 9, to fair value through profit or loss category of the investment portfolio under "Other variable yield securities".

Finally, in the context of the hive –down of the banking sector and its transfer to Alpha Bank S.A., the activities that relate to banking sector meet the definition of discontinued operations for the Company in accordance with IFRS 5. Consequently, results of the banking activity are presented in aggregate as results from discontinued operations in a separate line of the Income Statement and the respective comparative amounts have been restated.

As a result of the above changes, certain figures of the Income Statement and Statement of Other Comprehensive Income of the previous period have been restated, as included in the tables follow:
