In addition, the Bank contributed PLN 200,000 to MFS.
** Despite having a control over the Lubuskie Fabryki Mebli S.A., due to insignificant nature of this company from the realization of the primary goal of the consolidated financial statements point of view, which is the correct presentation of Group's financial situation, the Group does not consolidate capital involvement in aforementioned enterprise.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by European Union. The condensed consolidated interim financial statement do not include all of the information which is presented in full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Pursuant to the Regulation of the Minister of Finance of March 29, 2018 regarding current and periodic information published by issuers of securities and conditions for recognizing as equivalent information required by the laws of a non-member state (Journal of Laws of 2018, item 757) the Bank is required to publish financial data for the six months ending June 30, 2023.
Condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group prepared for the period from 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023:
All data for quarterly periods presented in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group have not been audited or reviewed by a statutory auditor.
In 2023 Bank continues to realize Capital Protection Plan submitted to PFSA pursuant to the Article 60 sec. 1 of the Act of 5 August 2015 on macroprudential supervision of the financial system and crisis management in the financial system (Journal of Laws of 2022, item 963, i.e. of 6 May 2022, as amended), PFSA approved this plan on 28th October 2022. The Plan foresees the increase of capital ratios comfortably above the minimum required levels through a combination of further improvement of operational profitability and capital optimisation initiatives such as management of risk weighted assets (including securitisations).
Since launching the Plan the Bank/Group managed to significantly improve its capital ratios, bringing them clearly above the new regulatory requirements (without P2G): as of 30th June 2023 Tier 1 ratio stood 146 bps (Bank) and 148 bps (Group) above minimum requirement and Total Capital Ratio stood 207 bps (Bank) and 208 bps (Group) above minimum requirement. In July 2023, these ratios were further strengthened after conclusion of another synthetic securitisation transaction which had an estimated positive impact on Group Tier 1 ratio of ca 47 bps and on Group Total Capital Ratio of ca 62 bps. Assuming no other extraordinary factors, the Bank plans to keep capital ratios above the minimum required levels throughout the year of 2023.
The Bank monitors, on the current basis, the financial situation and, if needed, will undertake actions to launch additional remedial activities. In particular, the Bank is aware of potential risks connected with potential extension of so-called Credit Holidays for 2024. If such risk would materialize, it could imply additional provisions that would decrease the net result of the Bank/Group. Additionally, further negative developments regarding the legal risk of FX mortgage loans could imply the need to increase the level of provisions for such risk apart from the provisions that might result from current trends. In the Bank's view, these events, if materialized, would adversely affect the results of the Bank/Group in 2023-2024, and would reduce the organic generation of capital that is envisaged, but would not prevent the Bank/Group from continuing to implement its strategy and the generation of results that would mitigate the impact of such events.

The liquidity position of Bank Millennium Group remained very strong in 1H 2023. LCR ratio reached the level of 260% at the of June 2023, well above the supervisory minimum of 100%. Loan-to-deposit ratio remained at secure level of 74% and the share of liquid debt securities (mainly bonds issued by the sovereigns, multilateral development banks and NBP bills) in the Group's total assets remains significant at 25%.
At same time the Bank achieved good operational and business results, while actively managing and mitigating the different risks related to the banking activity. Taking into account the above circumstances and identified uncertainties, in particular, the Bank's capacity to meet capital solvency ratios and MREL requirements in subsequent reporting periods - the Bank's Management Board based on the analysis of all aspects of the Bank's operations and its current and forecast financial position, concluded that the application of the going concern assumption in the preparation of these financial statements is appropriate.
The Management Board approved these condensed consolidated interim financial statements on 25 th July 2023.

Verdict of Court of Justice of the European Union regarding return of commission in case of early repaid loans
On 11 September 2019 The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled in the case of Lexitor against SKOK Stefczyka, Santander Consumer Bank and mBank (case C 383/18) in which it stated that consumer has rights to demand the reduction of the total loan cost corresponding to interest and costs for the remaining term of the agreement in case of early repayment of loan.
Taking into consideration this verdict, the Group as at 30 June 2023 had a provision in the amount of PLN 79.2 million which was estimated based on the maximum amount of potential returns and the probability of payment being made.

On 29 March 2023 took place transfer of 80% of the shares (the "Shares") in Millennium Financial Services sp. z o.o. (the "Company") from the Bank to Towarzystwo Ubezpieczeń na Życie Europa S.A. which acquired 72% of the Company's shares and Towarzystwo Ubezpieczeń Europa S.A. which acquired 8% of the Company's shares (collectively the "Buyers") as well as payment of the price for the Shares to the Bank, amounting to PLN 500.0 million.
The sale of the Shares by the Bank to the Buyers constituted the finalisation of the Transaction and resulting in recognition of the correspondent positive financial result and triggers the commencement of the Strategic Insurance Cooperation between the Bank and the Buyers, as described in the Current Report No. 7/2023 of 13 February 2023.
Simultaneously, due to selling 80% of Company's shares and losing control over the Company, the Bank initially measured its remaining non-controlling stake in the Company at fair value, recording PLN 43,3 million (gross).
Additionally, the Bank recognised positive impact amounting to PLN 54.0 million (gross) as valuation of derivative resulting from potential future earnouts payments.
Considering Profit and Loss statement perspective: result realised on the sale (PLN 499.9 million; payment for the price minus book value of sold shares) and valuation of derivative resulting from the potential future earnout payments (PLN 54.0 million) were recorded in caption "Result on derecognition of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value through profit or loss" whereas valuation of non-controlling remaining stake was recognised in "Other operating income" (PLN 43.3 million).

On February 2019 the Head of Western Pomeranian Customs & Tax Office (Zachodniopomorski Urząd Celno-Skarbowy w Szczecinie, ZUCS) commenced tax audits regarding the correctness of withholding tax (WHT) settlements for years 2015 and 2016. On 17 December 2019 the Bank received audit results as of 13 December 2019, in which ZUCS questioned WHT-exemption on coupon interest from bonds paid to MB Finance AB with the seat in Sweden constituting a collateral to 10Y subordinated bonds with a par value of EUR 150 mio. issued by this company in December 2007 (fully amortized in December 2017). On 11 June 2021 Bank received 2nd instance decisions of ZUCS decreasing the amount of WHT arrear from PLN 6.6 to 5.3 mio. This amount with penalty interests were paid by Bank on 18 June 2021. Bank lodged complaints on these decisions to the administrative court in Szczecin (WSA). WSA in its judgements as of 13 and 27 October 2021 wholly overruled both ZUCS's decisions. ZUCS appealed from these judgments to the Supreme Administrative Court (NSA).
On 13 April 2021 Head of ZUCS commenced a WHT audit for year 2017. As expected in the audit result ZUCS challenged WHT-exemption on coupon interests paid by Bank to MBF in this year as well (disputable WHT amount is ca. PLN 2.2 mio.). Bank does not agree with such findings as well and will continue a dispute with ZUCS. On 21 March 2022 Bank received the ZUCS's decision on WHT audit transformation into a tax proceeding. On 30 June 2022 Bank received the ZUCS's decision determining WHT arrear of ca. PLN 2.2 mio. Bank appealed from this decision. On 23 February 2023 WSA suspended the court litigation concerning WHT for 2017 until the final NSA's judgements regarding WHT for years 2015-16.
Bank received an expert opinion as of January 29, 2020 of tax professors from the Public Finances Law Department of the Faculty of Law and Administration at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, according to which ZUCS's statement violates binding tax law provisions.

At the implementation of IFRS9 Group separated credit exposures which include, in the interest rate definition, leverage/multiplier feature and presents aforementioned exposures in these financial statements as "Non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss - Credits and advances". The provisions of IFRS 9 indicate that the multiplier feature modifies money over time and causes the need to apply fair value measurement, however the economic sense of the transaction, i.e. portfolio management not based on fair value and maintaining the portfolio to obtain cash flows from the contract, constitute characteristics of portfolios valued at amortized cost. In 2021, as a result of a change in contractual provisions (eliminating the multiplier feature), some of these exposures began to be re-measured at amortized cost. The change concerned loans where clients fully repaid their commitment, the interest on which was calculated based on the old formula containing a multiplier. Exposures recorded after that time under new contractual conditions (without a multiplier) are measured at amortized cost.
The Bank writes down the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when there is no reasonable probability that it will be fully (total writes off) or partially (partial writes off) recovered. Following the recorded partial writes off the Bank provisioned (deducting the carrying value of gross receivables) penalty interest amounting to PLN 428 million as at 30.06.2023.

* In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group calculates interest on the loan portfolio with a recognized impairment based on the net exposure value. For this purpose, the so-called impaired interest adjustment ("KOIM") is calculated and recorded as a reduction of interest income. Aforementioned KOIM adjustment in the balance sheet is presented as an impairment allowances, and as a consequence the reconciliation of the change in impairment allowances requires consideration of the KOIM recognized in the interest income.
The Group records POCI assets in the balance sheet mainly as a result of recognition of impaired loans after the merger with Euro Bank and takeover of SKOK Piast. At the time of the merger, the aforementioned assets included in the Bank's books at fair value.
The value of POCI assets is as follows:
| Gross balance sheet value |
Accumulated impairment |
Net balance sheet value |

Risk management performs a key role in the strategy of balanced and sustainable development of the Group, supporting optimization of relationships between risk and returns within various business lines and maintenance of adequate risk profile relative to capital and liquidity.
To ensure effective risk management and coherent policy the Group has implemented risk management model under which credit, market, liquidity, operational risks, and capital requirements are managed in an integrated manner.
In the first half of 2023 the Bank Millennium Group, both in the corporate and retail segments, focused on introducing changes to the lending policy aimed at ensuring the appropriate quality of the portfolio in the new, more demanding economic environment.
In the area of credit risk, the Group has focused on adapting regulations, credit processes and monitoring to changed conditions.
In the corporate segment, the Group focused on analysing the loan portfolio and industries of borrowers to monitor risk, with particular emphasis on customers potentially most exposed to negative changes in the economic environment. Additionally, the Group worked on improving credit processes and products.
In the retail segment, the Group focused on adapting its lending policy to the changing macroeconomic environment, in particular, changes were implemented to mitigate the potential increase in risk related to rising credit costs and inflation. In addition, the frequency of monitoring the loan portfolio granted to Polish residents with Ukrainian citizenship was increased.
At the same time, the Bank continued to implement changes aimed at improving the effectiveness of the risk assessment process for retail and mortgage-secured transactions through automation that does not increase risk exposure.
The Group assesses credit risk regardless of the method of classifying the portfolio of receivables from customers in the financial statements as a portfolio measured at amortized cost or a portfolio measured at fair value through profit or loss. The table below contains data on the entire portfolio of receivables from customers broken down into regular and past due exposures.

Changes in the loan portfolio of the Group after 6 months of 2023 are summarized below:
(*) Loans overdue not more than 4 days are treated as technical and are not shown in this category.
(**) Fair value adjustment is defined as the difference between the nominal value and the fair value of the portfolio measured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value adjustment is influenced by considering the credit risk of the portfolio.

The main measure used by the Group to evaluate market risks is the parametric VaR (Value at Risk) model – an expected loss that may arise on the portfolio over a specified period (10-days holding period) and with specified probability (99% confidence level) from an adverse market movement. The market risk measurement, monitoring and reporting is conducted daily.
The market risk limits are revised at least once a year and to consider, inter alia, the change of the consolidated Own Funds, current and projected balance sheet structure as well as the market environment. The market risk limits valid in 1H2023 reflected the assumptions and risk appetite defined under Risk Strategy. The current limits in place have been valid since 1st June 2022. All excesses of market risk limits are always reported, documented, and ratified at the proper competence level. In the 1H2023, no excesses of the market risk limits were recorded.
Within the current market environment, the Group continued to act very prudently. Open positions contain mainly interest rate and FX risk instruments. According to the Risk Strategy approved in the Group, the FX open position is allowed, however should be kept at low levels. For this purpose, the Group has introduced a system of conservative limits for FX open positions (both Intraday and Overnight limits) and allows keeping FX open positions only in Trading Book. In the 1H2023, the FX Total open position (Intraday as well as Overnight) remained below internal limits in place and well below 2% of Own Funds.
In 1H2023, the VaR remained on average at the level of approx. PLN314.5m for the total Group, which is jointly Trading Book and Banking Book, (57% of the limit) and at approx. PLN3.7mn for Trading Book (16% of the limit). The exposure to market risk at the end of June 2023 was approx. PLN329.9mn for Global Bank (60% of the limit) and approx. PLN5.1mn for Trading Book (22% of the limit). It should be noted that the value at risk in Banking Book is only complementary risk measurement tool as positions are expected to be held to maturity and are not a subject to markedto-market normally (see next section - Interest rate risk in Banking Book, IRRBB).
The market risk exposure in 1H2023 in terms of value at risk for Trading Book, together with risk type division, is presented in the table below (PLN thousands).

VaR measures for market risk in Trading Book ('000 PLN)
In addition to above mention market risk limits, the stop loss limits are introduced for the financial markets' portfolios. The aim is to limit the maximum losses of the trading activity of the Group. In case of the limit is reached, a review of the management strategy and assumptions for the positions in question must be undertaken. Stop loss limits were not reached in 1H2023.

In case of the Banking Book, the main component of the market risk is interest rate risk. The exposure to interest rate risk in the Banking Book is primarily generated by the differences in repricing dates of assets and liabilities as well as its reference indexes, if contractually existing. It is specifically affected by the unbalance between assets and liabilities that have fixed rate, especially by the liabilities which cannot have interest rate lower than zero. Consequently, the level of sensitivity to interest rate changes is influenced by the level of interest rates taken as a reference. Additionally, due to specificity of the polish legal system, the interest rate of credits is limited (it cannot exceed two times Reference Rate of the National Bank of Poland increased by 7 percentage points). In situations of decreasing interest rates, the impact on Net Interest Income is negative and depends on the share of the fixed rate loan portfolio that is affected by the new maximum rate. On the other hand, assumptions regarding the timing and size of deposits repricing are also especially important when assessing the interest rate sensitivity and risk.
Regarding the interest rate risk in Banking Book, the following principles are in place:
The variations in market interest rates have an influence on the Group's net interest income, both under a short and medium-term perspective, at the same time affecting economic value of equity in the long term. The measurement of both is complementary in understanding the complete scope of interest rate risk in Banking Book. For this reason, apart from daily market risk measurement in terms of value at risk, the scope of the additional measurement of interest rate risk covers both earnings-based and economic value measures, which are
quarterly:
• the impact on the economic value of equity (EVE) resulting from yield curve movements, including scenarios defined by the supervisor (standard, supervisory test assuming sudden parallel +/-200 basis points shift of the yield curve as well as supervisory outlier test, SOT with set of six interest rate risk stress scenarios).
and monthly:
The interest rate risk measurement is carried for all the risk management areas in the Bank, with the particular attention on Banking Book.
The results of the above-mentioned analysis for net interest income (NII), BPVx100 and economic value measures were regularly monitored and reported to the Capital, Assets and Liabilities Committee, to Risk Committee, the Management Board and Supervisory Board. The results of the IRRBB measurement as of the end of June 2023 indicate that in the EVE perspective the Group is the most exposed to the scenario of interest rates increase, while in the earnings perspective – to a decrease. The supervisory outlier test results of June 2023 show that even under the most severe outlier test scenario, the decline of EVE for Banking Book is below supervisory limit of 15% of Tier 1. Similarly, decline of EVE under standard scenario of sudden parallel +/-200 basis points shift of the yield curve also stayed far below supervisory maximum of 20% of Own Funds.

The results of sensitivity of NII for the next 12 months after 30th June 2023 and for position in Polish Zloty in Banking Book are conducted under the following assumptions:
In a scenario of parallel decrease of interest rates by 100 bps, the results are negative and equal to -102 million or -2.0% of the Group's NII reference level. In a scenario of parallel increase of interest rates by 100 bps, the results are positive and equal to 85 million or +1.7% of the Group's NII reference level.
The liquidity risk measurement, monitoring and reporting is conducted daily with the use of both measures defined by the supervisory authorities and internally, for which limits were established.
The liquidity risk limits are revised at least once a year to consider, inter alia, the change of the size of the consolidated own funds, current and expected balance sheet structure, historical limits' consumption, as well as current market conditions and supervisory requirements. The current limits in place have been valid since 1st of January 2023. Its levels were confirmed by the annual revision conducted and approved by the Risk Committee in December 2022.
In 1H2023, the Group continued to be characterized by solid liquidity position. All the supervisory liquidity indicators remained significantly above minimum limits in place. According to rules in place, all eventual excesses of internal liquidity risk limits are always reported, documented, and ratified at the proper competence level. The steps taken as part of standard and binding risk management procedures have proved sufficient for managing liquidity in the current market environment.
The Group manages FX liquidity using FX-denominated deposits as well as Cross Currency Swap and FX Swap transactions. The importance of swaps has been decreasing because of the reduction of the FX mortgage loan portfolio and the hedge in foreign currency of the provisions for legal risk. The swaps portfolio is diversified in term of counterparties and maturity dates. For most counterparties, the Group has signed a Credit Support Annex to the master agreements. As a result, in case of unfavourable changes of FX rates (PLN depreciation), the Group is obliged to place deposits as collateral with counterparties to secure the settlement of derivative instruments in the future, and in case of favourable FX rates changes (PLN appreciation) receives deposits as collateral from the counterparties. There is no relationship between level of the Bank's ratings and parameters of collateral in any of the signed ISDA Schedules and Credit Support Annexes (both international and domestic). A potential downgrade in any rating will not have an impact on the method of calculation or collateral exchange. It should be noted that the need of currency swaps has been decreasing at a relevant pace due to the reduction in the FX mortgage loan portfolio.
The Group assesses the possibility of unfavourable changes of FX rates (especially CHF and EUR, which causes increase of liquidity needs), analyses the impact on liquidity risk and reflects this risk in the liquidity plans.

In 1H2023, the Group maintained Loan-to-Deposit ratio well below 100%. This ratio was equalled 74% at the end of June 2023 (78% at the end of December 2022). The liquid assets portfolio is treated by the Group's as liquidity reserve, which will overcome crisis situations. This portfolio consists of liquid debt securities issued or guaranteed by Polish government, other EU's sovereigns, and multilateral development banks,' supplemented by the cash and exposures to the National Bank of Poland. At the end of June 2023, the share of liquid debt securities (including NBP Bills) in total securities portfolio amounted to 99% and allowed to reach the level of approx. PLN29.2 billion (25% of total assets), whereas at the end of December 2022 was at the level of approx. PLN20.4 billion (18% of total assets).
| Main liquidity ratios | 31.12.2022 | 30.06.2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Loans/Deposits ratio (%) | 78% | 74% |
| Liquid assets portfolio (PLN million)* | 24 349 | 31 118 |
| Liquidity Coverage Requirement, LCR (%) | 223% | 260% |
(*) Liquid Assets Portfolio: The sum of cash, nostro balance (reduced by the required obligatory reserve), unencumbered liquid securities portfolio, NBP-Bills and short-term, due from banks (up to 1 month).
Total Clients' deposits of the Group reached the level of PLN100.6 billion (PLN98,0 billion at the end of December 2022). The share of funds from individuals in total Client's deposits equalled to approx. 71.3% at the end of June 2023 (70.2% at the end of December 2022). The maintenance of high share of funds from individuals had a positive impact on the Group's liquidity and supported the safe compliance of the supervisory measures.
The main source of financing remains deposits base, the large, diversified, and stable funding from retail, corporate and public sectors. The deposit base is supplemented by the deposits from financial institutions and other money market operations. The source of medium-term funding remained also subordinated debt, medium-term loans, and securitization of loan portfolio.
The level of deposit concentration is regularly monitored and did not have any negative impact on the stability of the deposit base in 1H2023. However, in case of significant increase of the share of the largest depositors, the additional funds from the depositors are not treated as stable. Despite of that, to prevent deposit base fluctuations, the Group maintains the reserves of liquid assets in the form of securities portfolio.
According to the final provisions of CRD V/CRR II package, the Group is daily calculating the liquidity coverage requirement (LCR) and quarterly net stable funding requirement (NSFR). In 1H2023, the regulatory minimum of 100% for both LCR and NSFR was fulfilled by the Group.
The LCR stayed at safe level of 260% at the end of June 2023 (223% at the end of December 2022). The comfortable liquidity position was kept due to increase of the Clients' deposits that guaranteed safe level of liquid assets portfolio.
Additionally, the Group employs an internal structural liquidity analysis based on cumulative liquidity gaps calculated on an actuarial basis (i.e., assuming a certain probability of cash flow occurrence). In 1H2023 the internally defined limit of 12% total assets was not breached and the liquidity position was confirmed as solid.
Stress tests as regards structural liquidity are conducted at least quarterly to understand the Group's liquidity risk profile, to make sure that the Group can meet its commitments in the event of a liquidity crisis and to contribute to preparing a contingency plan regarding liquidity and management decisions.
The Group has also contingency procedures for an increased liquidity risk situation – the Liquidity Contingency Plan, which is revised and tested at least once a year to ensure that it is operationally robust.

In the first half of 2023 there could be observed a continuous use of standards implemented for the purpose of efficient management of operational risk, which are in line with legal provisions in force and the best practice of national and international financial institutions.
The operational risk management model, implemented by the Group is reviewed and accepted on a regular basis by the Management Board.
In keeping with the adopted solution, risk management is a process of continuous improvement as regards identification, assessment, monitoring, control/mitigating, and reporting by complementary activities, which effectively translates into a real reduction in the level of operational risk in the business tasks.
In the first half of 2023 the registered level of operational risk losses was at the acceptable level.
Capital management relates to two areas: capital adequacy management and capital allocation. For both areas, management goals were set.
The goal of capital adequacy management is: (a) meeting the requirements specified in external regulations (regulatory capital adequacy) and (b) ensuring the solvency in normal and stressed conditions (economic capital adequacy/internal capital). Completing that goal, the Bank strives to achieve internal long-term capital limits (targets), defined in Risk Strategy.
Capital allocation purpose is to create value for shareholders by maximizing the return on risk in business activity, considering established risk tolerance.
In a scope of capital management process, there is also a capital planning process. The goal of capital planning is to designate the own funds (capital base that is risk-taking capacity) and capital usage (regulatory capital requirements and economic capital) in a way to ensure that capital targets/limits shall be met, given forecasted business strategy and risk profile – in normal and stressed macroeconomic conditions.
The Bank and the Group are obliged by law to meet minimum own funds and leverage ratio requirements, set in art. 92 of the Regulation (EU) 2019/876 of the European Parliament and of the Council as of 20 May 2019 amending Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 as regards the leverage ratio, the net stable funding ratio, requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities, counterparty credit risk, market risk, exposures to central counterparties, exposures to collective investment undertaking, large exposures, reporting and disclosure requirements, and Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (CRR II). At the same time, the following levels, recommendations, and buffers were included in capital limits/targets setting:
• Pillar II FX mortgage buffer (RRE FX) - KNF recommendation to maintain additional own funds for the coverage of additional capital requirements to secure the risk resulting from FX mortgage loans granted to households, in line with art. 138.1.2a of Banking Act. At present, the buffer was set by KNF in recommendations issued in the end of 2022 in the level of 1.95pp (the Bank) and 1.94pp (the Group) as for Total Capital Ratio (TCR), which corresponds to capital requirements for Tier 1 ratio of 1.47pp (the Bank) and of 1.46pp (the Group), and which corresponds to capital requirements for CET 1 ratio of 1.10pp (the Bank) and 1.09pp (the Group).

In December 2022, the Bank received a recommendation to maintain, on an individual and consolidated level, own funds to cover an additional capital charge ("P2G") in order to absorb potential losses resulting from the occurrence of stresses, at the level of 1.72pp and 1.75pp (the Bank and the Group) over the OCR value (Pillar II Guidance or "P2G"). According to the recommendation, the additional capital charge should consist of common equity Tier 1 capital (CET1 capital).
The minimum capital ratios required by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority for the combined buffer requirement (OCR) continued to be fulfilled at the end of 2Q2023. As regards the levels expected by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, including the additional P2G surcharge, the Group has not yet achieved them for the T1 ratio.

The increase in capital ratios in 2Q2023 compared to 1Q2023 was mainly due to an increase in own funds, with a simultaneous decrease in risk-weighted assets / own funds requirements. Own funds increased by PLN 182 million (2.7%), mainly as a result of a decrease in the negative valuation of treasury securities valued through equity. Own funds requirements decreased by PLN 65 million (1.6%). The leverage ratio increased due to the aforementioned increase in own funds.
During the 1st half 2023, the Bank continued to be focused on further strengthening of its capital ratios. The Bank's priority is now to maintain them permanently and safely above the minimum requirements and to take further necessary steps towards meeting the MREL requirements.
The Bank manages MREL indicators in a manner analogous to capital adequacy management.
The Bank received in June 2023 the joint decision of the resolution authorities obliging to meet MREL requirements. At the moment of communication of the decision, the Bank at the consolidated level is obliged to meet the minimum MRELtrea requirements of 14.42% and MRELtem of 4.46%. The minimum subordination MRELtrea was set at 14.28% and MRELtem 4.44%. At the same time, the above-mentioned decision sets updated minimum requirements that must be met by December 31, 2023, at the level of 18.89% and 5.91% (consolidated MRELtrea and MRELtem).
In addition to these MREL levels, the Bank also needs to meet MREL with Combined Buffer Requirement (currently 2.75%).

| MREL | 30.06.2023 | 31.03.2023* | 30.06.2022 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MRELtrea ratio | 14.93% | 14.26% | 15.16% |

* - All data for quarterly periods presented in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group have not been audited or reviewed by a statutory auditor.
Regarding the MREL requirements both MRELtrea and MRELtem, the Group presents a surplus compared to the level required as at the reporting date, but does not yet meet the MRELtrea requirement, considering the combined buffer requirement.
As informed in the Current Report no. 19/2023, in June 2023 the Bank Guarantee Fund took an administrative decision under the terms of Articles 96a - 96d of the Bank Guarantee Fund Act, prohibiting the Bank from distributing profits in excess of the maximum distributable amount related to the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (M-MDA).
After the improvement in the capital ratios above described, the Bank's priority is to take further necessary steps towards meeting the MREL requirements, taking also into consideration the level required after the end of the interim period on 31 December 2023.

Bank Millennium recent financial performance is significantly influenced by the costs related to managing legacy FX mortgage portfolio of loans. To isolate these costs and other financial results related to this portfolio Bank decided to isolate, commencing from 2021, a new segment from Retail and present it in financial statements as "FX mortgage". Such change impacts only results presentation and is not triggering any organizational changes in the Bank. New segment includes loans separated based on active FX mortgage contracts for a given period and is applying to portfolios of retail mortgages originated in Bank Millennium and Eurobank in foreign currencies. This portfolio is expected to run-off in line with repayments of FX loans and conversions to PLN loans. Following P&L categories are presented as part of financial performance of new segment:

The best reflection of fair value of financial instruments is the price which can be obtained for the sale of assets or paid for the transfer of liability in case of market transactions (an exit price). For many products and transactions for which market value to be taken directly from the quotations in an active market (marking-to-market) is not available, the fair value must be estimated using internal models based on discounted cash flows (marking-to-model). Financial cash flows for the various instruments are determined according to their individual characteristics, and discounting factors include changes in time both in market interest rates and margins.
According to IFRS 13 "Fair value measurement" in order to determinate fair value the Group applies models that are appropriate under existing circumstances and for which sufficient input data is available, based to the maximum extent on observable input whereas minimizing use of unobservable input, namely:
Level 1 - valuation based on the data fully observable (active market quotations);
Level 2 - valuation models using the information not constituting the data from level 1, but observable, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 - valuation models using unobservable data (not derived from an active market).
Valuation techniques used to determine fair value are applied consistently. Change in valuation techniques resulting in a transfer between these methods occurs when:
All estimation models are arbitrary to some extent and this is why they reflect only the value of those instruments for which they were built. In these circumstances the presented differences between fair values and balance-sheet values cannot be understood to mean adjustments of the economic value of the Group. Fair value of these instruments is determined solely in order to meet the disclosure requirements of IFRS 13 and IFRS 7.
The main assumptions and methods applied in estimating fair value of assets and liabilities of the Group are as follows:
The fair value of these instruments was determined by discounting the future principal and interest flows with current rates, assuming that the flows arise on contractual dates.
The fair value of such instruments without specified repayment schedule, given their short-term nature and the time-stable policy of the Group with respect to this portfolio, is close to balancesheet value.

With respect to floating rate leasing products fair value was assessed by adjusting balance-sheet value with discounted cash flows resulting from difference of spreads.
The fair value of instruments with defined maturity is estimated by discounting related cash flows on contractual dates and under contractual conditions with the use of current zero-coupon rates and credit risk margins.
In case of mortgage loans due to their long-term nature estimation of the future cash flows also includes: the effect of early repayment and liquidity risk in foreign currencies.
The fair value of debt securities at amortised cost (mainly Treasury bonds in the Held to Collect portfolio) was calculated on market quotations basis.
The fair value of such instruments without maturity or with maturity under 30 days is considered by the Group to be close to balance-sheet value.
Fair value of instruments due and payable in 30 days or more is determined by discounting future cash flows from principal and interest (including the current average margins by major currencies and time periods) using current interest (including the original average margins by major currencies and time periods) in contractual terms.
The fair value of these financial instruments is estimated on the basis of a model used for determining the market value of floating-rate bonds with the current level of market rates and historical margin for credit risk. Similar as in loan portfolio the Bank includes the level of the original margin as a part of mid-term cost of financing obtained in the past in relation to the current margin level for the comparable instruments, as long as reliable assessment is possible. Due to lack of the mid-term loans liquid market as a reference to estimate current level of margins, the Bank used the original margin.

The table below presents results of the above-described analyses as at 30.06.2023 (data in PLN thousand):
* The negative impact of fair value valuation of the loans portfolio is largely attributable to growth of loan spreads. The methodology, which the Bank uses for valuation of the loans portfolio, assumes that current spreads best reflect existing market conditions and economic situation. A corresponding rule is widely applied for valuation of debt securities, which are not quoted on active markets. In result, paradoxically whenever the spreads of new loans increase, fair value of the "old" loans portfolio falls.

Models used for determination of the fair value of financial instruments presented in the above table and not recognized at fair value in Group's balance sheet, use techniques based on parameters not derived from the market. Therefore, they are considered as the third level of valuation.

For options on indexes concluded on an inactive market, and FX options the Group concludes backto-back transactions on the interbank market, in result estimated credit risk component has no impact on the financial result.
Accordingly Group's estimation impact of adjustments for counterparty credit risk was not significant from the point of view of individual derivative transactions concluded by the Bank. Consequently, the Bank does not consider the impact of unobservable inputs used in the valuation of derivative transactions for significant and in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 13.73 does not classify such transactions for level 3 fair value measurements.

Below please find the data on the court cases pending, brought up by and against entities of the Group. A separate category are the proceedings related to the activities of the Tax Control Authority described in Chapter 4. note 11) "Corporate Income Tax".
Value of the court litigations, as at 30.06.2023, in which entities of the Group were a plaintiff, totalled PLN 2 437.8 million. The increase in the value of claims in cases brought by the Bank compared to previous periods results from the fact that lawsuits were filed against clients from the portfolio of foreign currency mortgage loans.
On January 3 2018, the Bank received decision of the Chairman of the Office for Protection of Competition and Consumers (OPCC Chairman) , in which the OPCC Chairman found infringement by the Bank of the rights of consumers. In the opinion of the OPCC Chairman the essence of the violation is that the Bank informed consumers (it regards 78 agreements) in responses to their complaints, that the court verdict stating the abusiveness of the provisions of the loan agreement regarding exchange rates does not apply to them. According to the position of the OPCC Chairman the abusiveness of contract's clauses determined by the court in the course of abstract control is constitutive and effective for every contract from the beginning. As a result of the decision, the Bank was obliged to:
1) send information on the UOKiK's decision to the said 78 clients,
2) place the information on decision and the decision itself on the website and on Twitter,
3) to pay a fine amounting to PLN 20.7 mln.
The Bank lodged an appeal within the statutory time limit.
On January 7, 2020, the first instance court dismissed the Bank's appeal in its entirety. The bank appealed against the judgment within the statutory deadline. The court presented the view that the judgment issued in the course of the control of a contractual template (in the course of an abstract control), recognizing the provisions of the template as abusive, determines the abusiveness of similar provisions in previously concluded contracts. Therefore, the information provided to consumers was incorrect and misleading. As regards the penalty imposed by OPCC, the court pointed out that the policy of imposing penalties by the Office had changed in the direction of tightening penalties and that the court agrees with this direction.
In the Bank's assessment, the Court should not assess the Bank's behaviour in 2015 from the perspective of today's case-law views on the importance of abstract control (it was not until January 2016 that the Supreme Court's resolution supporting the view of the OPCC Chairman was published), the more penalties for these behaviours should not be imposed using current policy. The above constitutes a significant argument against the validity of the judgment and supports the appeal which the Bank submitted to the Court of second instance.
The second instance court, in its judgment of February 24, 2022, completely revoked the decision of the OPCC Chairman. On August 31, 2022, the OPCC Chairman lodged a cassation appeal to the Supreme Court. The Bank believes that the prognosis regarding the litigation chances of winning the case before the Supreme Court is positive.
The Bank (along with other banks) is also a party to the dispute with OPCC, in which the OPCC Chairman recognized the practice of participating banks, including Bank Millennium, in an agreement aimed at jointly setting interchange fee rates charged on transactions made with Visa and Mastercard cards as restrictive of competition, and by decision of 29 December 2006 imposed a fine on the Bank in the amount of PLN 12.2 million. The Bank, along with other banks, appealed the decision.

In connection with the judgment of the Supreme Court and the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Warsaw of November 23, 2020, the case is currently pending before the court of first instance - the Court of Competition and Consumer Protection. The Bank has created a provision in the amount equal to the imposed penalty.
Proceedings in the matter of recognition of provisions of the agreement format as abusive
On 22 September 2020 The Bank received decision of the Chairman of the Office for Protection of Competition and Consumers (OPCC Chairman) recognising clauses stipulating principles of currency exchange applied in the so-called anti-spread annex as abusive and prohibited the use thereof.
Penalty was imposed upon the Bank in the amount of 10.5 million PLN. Penalty amount takes account of two mitigating circumstances: cooperation with the Office for Protection of Competition and Consumers and discontinuation of the use of provisions in question.
The Bank was also requested, after the decision becomes final and binding, to inform consumers, by registered mail, to the effect that the said clauses were deemed to be abusive and therefore not binding upon them (without need to obtain court's decision confirming this circumstance) and publish the decision in the case on the Bank's web site.
In the decision justification delivered in writing the OPCC Chairman stated that FX rates determined by the Bank were determined at Bank's discretion (on the basis of a concept, not specified in any regulations, of average inter-bank market rate). Moreover, client had no precise knowledge on where to look for said rates since provision referred to Reuters, without precisely defining the relevant site.
Provisions relating to FX rates in Bank's tables were challenged since the Bank failed to define when and how many times a day these tables were prepared and published.
In justification of the decision, the OPCC Chairman also indicated that in the course of the proceeding, Bank Millennium presented various proposed solutions, which the OPCC Chairman deemed to be insufficient.
The decision is not final and binding. The Bank appealed against the said decision within statutory term.
On March 31, 2022, the first instance court revoked the entire decision of the Chairman of the OPCC. On May 23, 2022, the Chairman of the OPCC filed an appeal. On October 26, 2022, the Court of Appeal changed the judgment of the court of first instance and shared the position of the Chairman of the OPCC as to the abusiveness of the provisions regarding the determination of exchange rates in the annexes concluded with foreign currency borrowers. On November 21, 2022, the Court of Appeals, at the request of the Bank, suspended the execution of the judgment until the end of the cassation proceedings. On January 30, 2023 the Bank filled a cassation appeal to the Supreme Court.
As at 30.06.2023, the most important proceedings, in the group of the court cases where the Group's companies were defendant, were following:

Other banks are the defendant. Plaintiffs in these cases also accuse banks of acting as part of an agreement restricting competition on the acquiring services market by jointly setting the level of the national interchange fee in the years 2008-2014.
As at 30.06.2023, the total value of the subjects of the other litigations in which the Group's companies appeared as defendant, stood at PLN 4,677.9 million (excluding the class actions described below and in the Chapter 10). In this group the most important category are cases related with FX loans mortgage portfolio and cases related to forward transactions (option cases).
On the 3rd of December 2015 a class action was served on the Bank. A group of the Bank's debtors (454 borrowers party to 275 loan agreements) is represented by the Municipal Consumer Ombudsman in Olsztyn. The plaintiffs demanded payment of the amount of PLN 3.5 million, claiming that the clauses of the agreements, pertaining to the low down payment insurance, are unfair and thus not binding. Plaintiff extended the group in the court letter filed on the 4th of April 2018, therefore the claims increased from PLN 3.5 million to over PLN 5 million.
On the 1st of October 2018, the group's representative corrected the total amount of claims pursued in the proceedings and submitted a revised list of all group members, covering the total of 697 borrowers – 432 loan agreements. The value of the subject of the dispute, as updated by the claimant, is PLN 7,371,107.94.
By the resolution of 1 April 2020 the court established the composition of the group as per request of the plaintiff and decided to take witness evidence in writing and called on the parties to submit questions to the witnesses. The Bank submitted a pleading with questions to witnesses in July 2020. Currently, the court is collecting written testimony from witnesses. The hearing date was set for October 24, 2023.
As at 30 June 2023, there were also 158 individual court cases regarding LTV insurance (cases in which only a claim for the reimbursement of the commission or LTV insurance fee is presented).
On 13 August 2020 the Bank received lawsuit from the Financial Ombudsman. The Financial Ombudsman, in the lawsuit, demands that the Bank and the Insurer (TU Europa) be ordered to discontinue performing unfair market practices involving, as follows:

Furthermore, the Ombudsman requires the Bank to be ordered to publish, on its web site, information on use of unfair market practices.
The lawsuit does not include any demand for payment, by the Bank, of any specified amounts. Nonetheless, if the practice is deemed to be abusive it may constitute grounds for future claims to be filed by individual clients.
The case is being examined by the court of first instance.
By June 30, 2023, the Bank recorded the receipt of 26 lawsuits by borrowers of mortgage loans in PLN for reimbursement of benefits provided under the loan agreement. The borrowers' allegations focus on the WIBOR ratio as an incomprehensible, unverifiable element affecting the consumer's liability, as well as the issue of insufficient information on the effects of variable interest rates provided to the consumer by the bank before the conclusion of the contract.
Based on publicly available information, it can be assumed that there will be an increase in the number of lawsuits concerning mortgage loans in PLN. This phenomenon affects the entire sector of banking services. It is possible that a "new business model" will be created in the area of law firms, which consists in questioning mortgage contracts containing a variable interest rate clause based on the WIBOR reference index.
The Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) announced that it had assessed the ability of the WIBOR interest rate reference index to measure the market and economic realities. The KNF stated that the WIBOR interest rate reference index is capable of measuring the market and economic realities for which it was established. According to the Commission's assessment, the WIBOR ratio responds appropriately to changes in liquidity conditions, changes in central bank rates and economic realities (https://www.knf.gov.pl/komunikacja/komunikaty?articleId=82924&p_id=18 ).
FX mortgage loans legal risk is described in the Chapter 10. "Legal risk related to foreign currency mortgage loans".

On June 30, 2023, the Bank had 18,441 loan agreements and additionally 1,482 loan agreements from former Euro Bank under individual ongoing litigations (excluding claims submitted by the bank against clients i.e. debt collection cases) concerning indexation clauses of FX mortgage loans submitted to the courts (70% loans agreements before the courts of first instance and 30% loans agreements before the courts of second instance) with the total value of claims filed by the plaintiffs amounting to PLN 3,415.6 million and CHF 237.5 million (Bank Millennium portfolio: PLN 3,138 million and CHF 231.5 million and former Euro Bank portfolio: PLN 277.6 million and CHF 6 million). Out of 18,441 BM loan agreements in ongoing individual cases 163 are also part of class action. From the total number of individual litigations against the Bank approximately 1700 or 9.4% were submitted by borrowers that had already naturally or early fully repaid the loan or were converted to polish zloty at the moment of submission and had not a settlement agreement and another 600 correspond to loans that were fully repaid since then (as court proceedings are lengthy).
The claims formulated by the clients in individual proceedings primarily concern the declaration of invalidity of the contract and payment for reimbursement of paid principal and interest instalments as undue performance, due to the abusive nature of indexation clauses, or maintenance of the agreement in PLN with interest rate indexed to CHF Libor.
In addition, the Bank is a party to the group proceedings (class action) subject matter of which is to determine the Bank's liability towards the group members based on unjust enrichment (undue benefit) ground in connection with the foreign currency mortgage loans concluded. It is not a payment dispute. The judgment in these proceedings will not directly grant any amounts to the group members. The number of credit agreements covered by these proceedings is 3 273. Out of 3,273 loan agreements in class action 163 are also part of ongoing individual cases, 579 concluded settlements and 4 received final verdicts (invalidation of loan agreement). On 24 May 2022 the court issued a judgment on the merits, dismissing the claim in full. On 13 December 2022 the claimant filed an appeal against the judgment of 24 May 2022.
The pushy advertising campaign observed in the public domain affects the number of court disputes. Until the end of 2019, 1,985 individual claims were filed against the Bank (in addition, 236 against former Euro Bank), in 2020 the number increased by 3,006 (265), in 2021 the number increased by 6,156 (423), in 2022 the number increased by 5,750 (407), while in the first half of 2023 the number increased by 3,237 (272).
Based on ZBP (the Polish Banking Association) data gathered from all banks having FX mortgage loans, vast majority of disputes were finally resolved against the banks. As far as the Bank Millennium (incl. former Euro Bank portfolio) is concerned, from 2015 until the end of the first half of 2023, 2,082 cases were finally resolved (2,011 in claims submitted by clients against the Bank and 71 in claims submitted by the Bank against clients i.e. debt collection cases) out of which 573 were settlements, 42 were remissions, 56 rulings were favorable for the Bank and 1,411 were unfavorable including both invalidation of loan agreements as well as conversions into PLN+LIBOR. The Bank files appeals against negative judgements of the courts of 1st instance. Simultaneously the Bank undertakes proper legal actions in order to secure repayment of initially disbursed capital of the loan.
The outstanding gross balance of the loan agreements under individual court cases and class action against the Bank (incl. former Euro Bank portfolio) on 30.06.2023 was PLN 5,730 million (of which the outstanding amount of the loan agreements under the class action proceeding was 826 million PLN).

If all Bank Millennium's originated loan agreements currently under individual and class action court proceedings would be declared invalid without any compensation for the use of capital, the pre-tax cost could reach PLN 5,851 million. Overall losses would be higher or lower depending on the final court jurisprudence in this regard.
In the first half of 2023, the Bank created PLN 1 535,5 million of provisions for Bank Millennium originated portfolio and PLN 85,1 million for former Euro Bank originated portfolio. The balance sheet value of provisions for the Bank Millennium portfolio at the end of June 2023 was at the level of PLN 6,088 million, and PLN 474 million for former Euro Bank originated portfolio.
The methodology developed by the Bank of calculating provisions for legal risk involved with indexed loans is based on the following main parameters:

The Bank is open to negotiate case by case favourable conditions for early repayment or conversion of loans to PLN. As a result of these negotiations, the number of active FX mortgage loans originated by Bank Millennium decreased by 19,485: 1,362 in 2020; 8,450 in 2021; 7,943 in 2022 and 1,730 in the first half of 2023. As of the end of the first half of 2023, the Bank had 35,417 active FX mortgage loans. Cost incurred in conjunctions with these negotiations totalled PLN 1,104.6 million: PLN 44.4 million in 2020; PLN 364.6 million in 2021; PLN 515.2 million in 2022 and PLN 180.7 million in the first half of 2023 is presented mainly in 'Result on exchange differences' and also in 'Result on modification' in the profit and loss statement (the values of costs charged to particular items of the Income Statement due to settlements are presented in Note 10 in Chapter 4 of the Notes to the Financial Statements).
Legal risk from former Euro Bank portfolio is fully covered by Indemnity Agreement with Societe Generale.
The Bank analyzed the sensitivity of the methodology for calculating provisions, for which a change in the parameters would affect the value of the estimated loss to the legal risk of litigation:
| Parameter | Scenario | Impact on the loss |
|---|---|---|
| Change in the number of litigation | In addition, 1,000 new customers file a lawsuit against the Bank |
PLN 163 mln |
| Change of estimated losses for each variant of judgment |
Change of losses for each judgment variant by 1 p.p |
PLN 60 mln |
| Change in probability of success in negotiations with court client |
Change of probability by 1 p.p | PLN 25 mln |
On December 8, 2020, Mr. Jacek Jastrzębski, the Chairman of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority ('PFSA') proposed a 'sector' solution to address the sector risks related to FX mortgages. The solution would consist in offering banks' clients a voluntary possibility of concluding arrangements based on which a client would settle a CHF Mortgage Loan as if it was a PLN loan bearing interest at an appropriate WIBOR rate increased by the margin historically employed for such loans. As of the date of this Base Prospectus, the Bank has not taken any decision regarding the implementation of this solution, but cannot exclude implementing it in the future. The decision to generally implement this solution could imply the need of creating upfront provisions for the losses resulting from the conversion of CHF Mortgage Loans. The Bank in practice has been using elements of such solution on many individual negotiations with FX mortgage borrowers, including in the course of court proceedings.
Due to the circumstances stemming from the CJEU verdict in case C-520/21 (below described), the possibility of successful implementation of a general offer of KNF solution is low.
Finally it should also be mentioned, that the Bank, as at 30.06.2023, had to maintain additional own funds for the coverage of additional capital requirements related to FX mortgage portfolio risks (Pillar II FX buffer) in the amount of 1.95 p.p. (1.94 p.p. at the Group level), part of which is allocated to operational/legal risk.
On 3 October 2019, the Court of Justice of the European Union ('the CJEU') issued the judgment in Case C-260/18 in connection with the preliminary questions formulated by the District Court of Warsaw in the case against Raiffeisen Bank International AG. The judgment of the CJEU, as regards the interpretation of European Union law made therein, is binding on domestic courts. The judgment in question interpreted Article 6 of Directive 93/13. In the light of the subject matter judgment the said provision must be interpreted in such a way that (i) the national court may invalidate a credit agreement if the removal of unfair terms detected in this agreement would alter the nature of the main subject-matter of the contract; (ii) the effects for the consumer's situation resulting from the cancellation of the contract must be assessed in the light of the circumstances

existing or foreseeable at the time when the dispute arose and the will of the consumer is decisive as to whether he wishes to maintain the contract; (iii) Article 6 of the Directive precludes the filling-in of gaps in the contract caused by the removal of unfair terms from the contract solely on the basis of national legislation of a general nature or established customs; (iv) Article 6 of the Directive precludes the maintenance of unfair terms in the contract if the consumer has not consented to the maintenance of such terms. It can be noticed the CJEU found doubtful the possibility of a credit agreement being performed further in PLN while keeping interest calculated according to LIBOR.
The CJEU judgment concerns only the situation where the national court has previously found the contract term to be abusive. It is the exclusive competence of the national courts to assess, in the course of judicial proceedings, whether a particular contract term can be regarded as abusive in the circumstances of the case.
On 29th April 2021, the CJEU issued the judgement in the case C-19/20 in connection with the preliminary questions formulated by the District Court in Gdańsk in the case against of ex-BPH S.A., CJEU said that:
(i) it is for the national court to find that a term in a contract is unfair, even if it has been contractually amended by those parties. Such a finding leads to the restoration of the situation that the consumer would have been in in the absence of the term found to be unfair, except where the consumer, by means of amendment of the unfair term, has waived such restoration by free and informed consent. However, it does not follow from Council Directive 93/13 that a finding that the original term is unfair would, in principle, lead to annulment of the contract, since the amendment of that term made it possible to restore the balance between the obligations and rights of those parties arising under the contract and to remove the defect which vitiated it.
(ii) the national court may remove only the unfair element of a term in a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer where the deterrent objective pursued by Council Directive 93/13 is ensured by national legislative provisions governing the use of that term, provided that that element consists of a separate contractual obligation, capable of being subject to an individual examination of its unfair nature. At the same time, provisions of the Directive preclude the referring court from removing only the unfair element of a term in a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer where such removal would amount to revising the content of that term by altering its substance.
(iii) the consequences of a judicial finding that a term if a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer is unfair are covered by national law and the question of continuity of the contract should be assessed by the national court of its own motion in accordance with an objective approach on the basis of those provisions.
(iv) the national court, finding that a term in a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer is unfair, shall inform the consumer, in the context of the national procedural rules after both parties have been heard, of the legal consequences entailed by annulment of the contract, irrespective of whether the consumer is represented by a professional representative.
On November 18, 2021, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued a judgment in case C-212/20 in connection with questions submitted by the District Court for Warsaw Wola in Warsaw in the case against Raiffeisen Bank International AG. The CJEU stated that:
(i) The content of the clause of the loan agreement concluded between the entrepreneur and the consumer fixing the purchase and sale price of the foreign currency to which the loan is indexed should, on the basis of clear and comprehensible criteria, enable the consumer who is reasonably well informed and sufficiently observant and rational to understand how the exchange rate of the foreign currency used to calculate the amount of the loan instalments is determined, so that the consumer is able to determine himself at any time the exchange rate used by the entrepreneur.

(ii) A national court which has found that a term of the agreement concluded between an entrepreneur and a consumer is unfair cannot interpret that term in order to mitigate its unfairness, even if such an interpretation would correspond to the common will of the parties.
On 10 June 2021, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued an order in case C-198/20 in connection with questions submitted by the District Court for Warsaw Wola in Warsaw in the case against Santander Bank Polska SA. The CJEU stated that the protection provided for in Council Directive 93/13/EEC is granted to all consumers, not just those who can be considered to be "duly informed and reasonably observant and circumspect average consumer".
On 8 September 2022, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued a judgment in joined cases C-80/21, C-81/21, C-82/21 in connection with questions submitted by the District Court for Warsaw Śródmieście in Warsaw in cases against Deutsche Bank SA and mBank SA. The CJEU stated that:
(i) A national court may find that the parts of a contractual term of the agreement concluded between a consumer and an entrepreneur which render it unfair are unfair, if such a deletion would not amount to a change in the content of that term that affects its substance, which is for the referring court to verify.
(ii) A national court cannot, after annulling an unfair term contained in an agreement concluded between a consumer and an entrepreneur which does not render the agreement invalid in its entirety, replace that term with a supplementary provision of the national law.
(iii) A national court may not, after having declared invalid an unfair term contained in an agreement concluded between a consumer and an entrepreneur which entails the invalidity of that agreement in its entirety, replace the contractual term which has been declared invalid either by interpretation of the parties' declaration of intent in order to avoid the cancellation of that agreement or by a provision of national law of a supplementary nature, even if the consumer has been informed of the effects of the invalidity of that agreement, and accepted them.
(iv) The ten-year limitation period for a consumer's claim seeking reimbursement of sums unduly paid to the entrepreneur in performance of an unfair term of a loan agreement does not start to run on the date of each performance made by the consumer if the consumer was not able on that date to assess on his own the unfairness of the contractual term or if he had not become aware of the unfair nature of that term and without taking into account the circumstances that the agreement provided for a repayment period – in this case thirty years – well in excess of the ten-year statutory limitation period.
On March 16, 2023, the Court of Justice of the European Union issued a judgment in a case registered under case number C-6/22, following preliminary questions submitted by the District Court for Warsaw-Wola in a case against the former Getin Bank S.A.. In the judgment, the CJEU ruled that:
i) in the event that a contract concluded between a consumer and a seller or supplier is declared invalid because one of its terms is unfair, it is for the Member States, by means of their national law, to make provision for the effects of that invalidation, in compliance with the protection granted to the consumer by that directive, in particular, by ensuring the restoration of the legal and factual situation that he or she would have been in if that unfair term had not existed.
ii) a national court is not allowed, first, to examine of its own motion, without any prerogative conferred on it by national law in that regard, the financial situation of a consumer who has sought the invalidation of the contract between him or her and a seller or supplier on account of the presence of an unfair term without which the contract cannot legally continue to exist, even if that invalidation is liable to expose the consumer to particularly unfavourable consequences and, second, to refuse to declare that invalidation where the consumer has expressly sought it, after being objectively and exhaustively informed of the legal consequences and the particularly unfavourable financial consequences which it may have for him or her.

iii) a national court is not allowed, after it has found that a term in a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer is unfair, to fill gaps resulting from the removal of the unfair term contained therein by the application of a provision of national law which cannot be characterised as a supplementary provision. However, it is for the national court, taking account of its domestic law as a whole, to take all the measures necessary to protect the consumer from the particularly unfavourable consequences which annulment of the contract might entail for him or her.
On June 8, 2023, the Court of Justice of the European Union issued a judgment in a case registered under case number C-570/21, following preliminary questions submitted by the District Court in Warsaw in a case against the former Getin Bank S.A. In the judgment, the CJEU ruled that:
i) provisions of Council Directive 93/13 must be interpreted as meaning that the concept of 'consumer', within the meaning of that provision, covers a person who has concluded a loan contract intended for a purpose in part within and in part outside his or her trade, business or profession, together with a joint-borrower who did not act within his or her trade, business or profession, where the trade, business or professional purpose is so limited as not to be predominant in the overall context of that contract.
ii) provisions of Directive 93/13 must be interpreted as meaning that in order to determine whether a person falls within the concept of 'consumer', within the meaning of that provision, and, specifically, whether the trade, business or professional purpose of a loan contract concluded by that person is so limited as not to be predominant in the overall context of that contract, the referring court is required to take into consideration all the relevant circumstances surrounding that contract, both quantitative and qualitative, such as, in particular, the distribution of the borrowed capital between, on the one hand, a trade, business or profession and, on the other hand, a nonprofessional activity and, where there are several borrowers, the fact that only one of them is pursuing a professional purpose or that the lender made the grant of credit intended for consumer purposes conditional on a partial allocation of the amount borrowed to the repayment of debts connected with a trade, business or profession.
On June 15, 2023, the Court of Justice of the European Union issued a judgment in a case registered under case number C-287/22, following preliminary questions submitted by the District Court in Warsaw in a case against the former Getin Bank S.A. In the judgment, the CJEU ruled that provisions of the Directive 93/13 must be interpreted as precluding national case-law according to which a national court may dismiss an application for the grant of interim measures lodged by a consumer seeking the suspension, pending a final decision on the invalidity of the loan agreement concluded by that consumer on the ground that that loan agreement contains unfair terms, of the payment of the monthly instalments due under that loan agreement, where the grant of those interim measures is necessary to ensure the full effectiveness of that decision.
On June 15, 2023, the CJEU issued a judgment in a case registered under case number C-520/21, following preliminary questions submitted by the District Court in Warsaw in a case against Bank Millennium, in which indicated that Directive 93/13 does not expressly regulate the consequences of invalidity of a contract concluded between a credit institution and a consumer after the removal of unfair terms contained therein. The CJEU stated that:
i) the provisions of the Directive do not preclude a judicial interpretation of national law, according to which the consumer has the right to demand compensation from the credit institution beyond the reimbursement of monthly instalments and costs paid for the performance of this contract and the payment of statutory default interest from the date of the request for payment provided that the objectives of Directive 93/13 and the principle of proportionality are respected.
ii) the provisions of Directive 93/13 preclude the judicial interpretation of national law, according to which a credit institution has the right to demand compensation from the consumer that goes beyond the return of the capital paid for the performance of this contract and beyond the payment of statutory default interest from the date of the request for payment.

On 7th May 2021, the Supreme Court composed of 7 judges of the Supreme Court, issued a resolution for which the meaning of legal principle has been granted, stating that:
An abusive contractual clause (art. 385(1) § 1 of the Civil Code), by force of the law itself, is ineffective to the benefit of the consumer who may consequently give conscious and free consent to this clause and thus restore its effectiveness retroactively.
If without the ineffective clause the loan agreement cannot bind, the consumer and the lender shall be eligible for separate claims for return of monetary performances made in exercising this agreement (art. 410 § 1 in relation to art. 405 of the Civil Code). The lender may demand return of the performance from the moment the loan agreement becomes permanently ineffective.
On April 28, 2022 the Supreme Court issued a resolution (III CZP 40/22) in which it indicated that in disputes with consumers, the provision of Article 358(1) of the Civil Code is a special provision to Article 353(1) of the Civil Code, which means that if the prerequisites for the application of both provisions exist, the court should apply the special provision and declare the contractual provision permanently ineffective, rather than invalid. This decision of the Supreme Court should be perceived as significantly limiting the risk of the bank's claims for return of capital being timebarred.
The effect of the Supreme Court's resolution of 7 May 2021 is that the bank is entitled to a refund of the cash benefit provided by the bank in performance of a permanently ineffective contract. Taking into account the uncertainty as to the starting point of the limitation period for the bank's claims, the Bank, in order to protect its interests, files lawsuits for payment against borrowers in a court dispute with the bank. The bank's demand consists of a claim for return of the capital made available to the borrower under the contract. After the CJEU verdict of June 15, 2023, in case C-520/21, it seems that the issue that requires further analysis is whether the return of the originally disbursed capital should be made at nominal value or with the loss of purchasing power of money taken into account. By 30 June 2023 the Bank filed 4.8 thousands lawsuits against the borrowers.
In this context, taking into consideration the recent negative evolution in the court verdicts regarding FX mortgage loans, and if such trend continues, the Bank will have to regularly review and may need to continue to increase the balance of provisions allocated to court litigations.
It can reasonably be assumed that the legal issues relating to foreign currency mortgage loans will be further examined by the national courts within the framework of disputes considered which would possibly result in the emergence of further interpretations, which are relevant for the assessment of the risks associated with subject matter proceedings. This circumstance indicates the need for constant analysis of these matters. Further request for clarification and ruling addressed to the European Court of Justice and Polish Supreme Court have already been filed and may still be filed with potential impact on the outcome of the court cases.
On 29 January 2021 a set of questions addressed by the First President of the Supreme Court to the full Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court was published. This may have important consequences in terms of clarifications of relevant aspects of the court rulings and their consequences. The Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court has been requested for answering the questions concerning key matters related to FX mortgage agreements: (i) is it permissible to replace - with the law provisions or with a custom - the abusive provisions of an agreement which refer to FX exchange rate determination; moreover, (ii) in case of impossibility of determining the exchange rate of a foreign currency in the indexed/denominated credit agreement - is it permissible to keep the agreement still valid in its remaining scope; as well as (iii) if in case of invalidity of the CHF credit there would be applicable the theory of balance (i.e. does arise a single claim which is equal to the difference

between value of claims of bank and the customer) or the theory of two condictions (separate claims for the bank and for the client that should be dealt with separately). The Supreme Court has also been requested for answering the question on (iv) from which point in time there shall be starting the limitation period in case of bank's claim for repayment of amounts paid as a loan and (v) whether banks and consumers may receive remuneration for using their pecuniary means by another party.
On 11 May 2021 the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court requested opinions on Swiss franc mortgage loans from five institutions including the National Bank of Poland (NBP), the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (UKNF), the Commissioner for Human Rights, the Children's Rights Ombudsman and the Financial Ombudsman.
The positions of: the Commissioner for Human Rights, the Children's Rights Ombudsman and the Financial Ombudsman are in general favorable to consumers, while the National Bank of Poland and the Polish Financial Supervision Authority present a more balanced position, including fair principles of treatment of FX mortgage borrowers vis-à-vis PLN mortgage borrowers, as well as balanced economic aspects regarding solutions for the problem that could be considered by the Supreme Court.
In the next meeting of the Supreme Court that took place on 2 September 2021, the Court did not address the answers to the submitted questions and no new meeting date is known.
On 9 December 2022, in the case brought by the Bank against the borrower for payment – return of the capital made available to the borrower on the basis of an invalid capital contract and the equivalent value of the benefit related to the borrower's use of capital, the court referred a question to the CJEU for a preliminary ruling whether, if it is found that the loan contract concluded by the bank and the consumer is invalid from the beginning due to the conclusion of unfair contractual terms, in addition to the return of money paid in the performance of this contract (loan principal) and statutory late payment interest from the moment of the request for payment, the bank may also demand any other benefits, including receivables, in particular remuneration, compensation, reimbursement of costs or valorisation of the benefit. The case was suspended for the duration of Case C-520/21. As a result of the judgment in Case C-520/21, the case became a pending case, but there are doubts whether it will be continued due to the judgment in said Case C-520/21.
The subject of the CJEU's analysis, as a result of the Warsaw District Court's questions remains the issues related to the limitation period of the Bank's and the customer's restitution claims following the collapse of the loan agreement (Cases: C-28/22 ; C-140/22). Legal interpretations in these cases may be particularly significant for the Bank's claims as to the commencement of the running of the limitation period of its claims, by eliminating or confirming the risk of its claims being deemed time-barred in a given case.
With the scope of settlements between the Bank and borrower following the fall of the loan agreement is also connected the legal issue directed to the seven-person composition of the Supreme Court (case sign: III CZP 54/21). The date of case review has not been specified yet.
The Supreme Court was also presented with the issue of whether the loan agreement is a mutual agreement in the light of the regulations concerning retention right (III CZP 89/22).
Due to the complexity and uncertainty regarding the outcome of court cases, including counterclaims, as well as other negotiation solutions or from potential Supreme Court decisions or European Court of Justice decisions, it is difficult to reliably estimate final impacts from different potential outcomes as at the date of publication of the financial statements.
The issue that remains unresolved in the jurisprudence of common courts and the Supreme Court is also the issue of the admissibility of borrowers' claims in the event of the invalidity of a loan agreement for payment of amounts beyond the reimbursement of monthly installments and costs paid for the execution of that agreement and beyond the payment of statutory default interest from the date of the demand for payment, which, in light of the CJEU's judgment of June 15, 2023 in case C-520/21, remains not excluded. Due to the uncertainty of the direction of case law in this area, as of the date of publication of the report, it is difficult to reliably assess the impact of potential rulings.

Bank Millennium has a dividend policy of distribution between 35% and 50% of net profit, taking into account supervisory recommendations.

In May 2022, the Polish government announced that WIBOR would be replaced by a different (lower) rate from 1 January 2023. In June 2022, a Working Group was established, including commercial banks, GPW Benchmark (Administrator of WIBOR), KNF.
In July 2022, the National Working Group on Reference Rate Reform (NWG) was established in connection with the planned reform of reference rates in Poland. The objective of the NGR's work to introduce a new interest rate benchmark and replace the currently used WIBOR index with it while ensuring the compliance with BMR, including in particular ensuring credibility, transparency and reliability in the development and application of the new benchmark.
The National Working Group involves representatives of the Ministry of Finance, the National Bank of Poland, the Office of the Financial Supervision Authority, the Bank Guarantee Fund, the Polish Development Fund, the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the National Depository for Securities, Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, the GPW Benchmark, as well as representatives of credit institutions, i.e. in particular, banks, financial institutions, including investment funds, insurance companies, factoring and leasing companies, entities that are bond issuers, including corporate and municipal bonds, clearing houses.
The work of the National Working Group is coordinated and supervised by a Steering Committee including representatives of key institutions: Financial Supervision Authority, the National Bank of Poland, the Ministry of Finance, the Bank Guarantee Fund, the Polish Development Fund, as well as the GPW Benchmark - the administrator of the reference rates - and the Polish Bank Association (Polish: Związek Banków Polskich).
The NWG's activities are executed in a project formula, where project streams have been identified and where Bank Millennium representatives are actively contributing to the work.
The National Working Group selected the WIRON index to become the key interest rate benchmark under the BMR and to be used in financial contracts, financial instruments.
In connection with this, Bank Millennium S.A. established, by resolution of the Bank's Management Board of 24 August 2022, an internal project reporting to the Management Board (Deputy Chairman of the Management Board - CFO and Member of the Management Board overseeing the areas of retail and corporate products), in order to duly manage the WIBOR to WIRON transition process and to implement the work in accordance with the roadmap. This work involves representatives from a significant number of the Bank's business units, including, in particular, representatives responsible for product areas and risk management issues, including, in particular, interest rate risk and operational risk. The structure of the project includes the division into streams covering products and processes where the WIBOR benchmark is applied, the management of the project by a dedicated project manager and the periodical reporting of statuses on the individual streams. In the current phase of the project, intensive work is underway at the Bank to adjust the technological infrastructure, as well as including the preparation of internal processes and documentation.

Bank Millennium S.A. is working on the analysis of the risks and monitors them on a regular basis. In addition, due to the lack of formal information regarding the potential regulatory event referred to in Article 23c(1) of the BMR, the lack of a regulation of the Minister of Finance referred to in Article 61c of the Act of 5 August 2015 on macro-prudential supervision of the financial system and crisis management in the financial system concerning a substitute or at least a draft of such a regulation, the lack of information on the amount of the adjustment spread or the method of calculating this spread as well as the lack of a market for hedging instruments and given the current stage of the work of the National Working Group and the implementation of the Roadmap, it is currently not possible to estimate the financial impact of the WIBOR reform.
In March 2023, the Steering Committee of the National Working Group on Benchmark Reform adopted recommendations on new products, both banking, leasing and factoring, as well as previously published ones on bonds and derivatives.
In July 2023, the NWG SC adopted a Recommendation on applying a fallback rate for WIBOR benchmark in interest rate derivatives. The recommendation presents the method of replacing WIBOR with an Alternative Benchmark in WIBOR-based interest rate derivatives in the event where a Fallback Trigger of a permanent nature occurs.
The Bank applies the USD LIBOR benchmark to the following products (in million PLN):
On 3 April 2023, the Financial Conduct Authority supervising ICE Benchmark Administration Limited announced a decision regarding the future of LIBOR USD 3M and LIBOR USD 6M. FCA indicated that LIBOR USD 3M and LIBOR USD 6M will continue to be calculated and published after 30 June 2023 using the revised "synthetic" methodology, most likely until 30 September 2024.

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by European Union. The condensed consolidated interim financial statement do not include all of the information which is presented in full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Bank as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Pursuant to the Regulation of the Minister of Finance of March 29, 2018 regarding current and periodic information published by issuers of securities and conditions for recognizing as equivalent information required by the laws of a non-member state (Journal of Laws of 2018, item 757) the Bank is required to publish financial data for the six months ending June 30, 2023.
Condensed interim financial statements of the Bank:
In addition to financial data these condensed interim financial statements of the Bank also presents information and data that is important for appropriate assessment of the Bank's economic and financial situation and its financial performance, and which was not included in the condensed interim consolidated statements of the Group for the six months period ended 30 June 2023. Other information and explanations presented in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group for the six months period ended 30 June 2023 contain all important information, which also serves as explanatory data to these standalone statements of the Bank.
All data for quarterly periods presented in these condensed interim financial statements of the Bank have not been audited or reviewed by a statutory auditor.
In 2023 Bank continues to realize Capital Protection Plan submitted to PFSA pursuant to the Article 60 sec. 1 of the Act of 5 August 2015 on macroprudential supervision of the financial system and crisis management in the financial system (Journal of Laws of 2022, item 963, i.e. of 6 May 2022, as amended), PFSA approved this plan on 28th October 2022. The Plan foresees the increase of capital ratios comfortably above the minimum required levels through a combination of further improvement of operational profitability and capital optimisation initiatives such as management of risk weighted assets (including securitisations).
Since launching the Plan the Bank/Group managed to significantly improve its capital ratios, bringing them clearly above the new regulatory requirements (without P2G): as of 30th June 2023 Tier 1 ratio stood 146 bps (Bank) and 148 bps (Group) above minimum requirement and Total Capital Ratio stood 207 bps (Bank) and 208 bps (Group) above minimum requirement. In July 2023, these ratios were further strengthened after conclusion of another synthetic securitisation transaction which had an estimated positive impact on Group Tier 1 ratio of ca 47 bps and on Group Total Capital Ratio of ca 62 bps. Assuming no other extraordinary factors, the Bank plans to keep capital ratios above the minimum required levels throughout the year of 2023.
The Bank monitors, on the current basis, the financial situation and, if needed, will undertake actions to launch additional remedial activities. In particular, the Bank is aware of potential risks connected with potential extension of so-called Credit Holidays for 2024. If such risk would materialize, it could imply additional provisions that would decrease the net result of the Bank/Group. Additionally, further negative developments regarding the legal risk of FX mortgage loans could imply the need to increase the level of provisions for such risk apart from the provisions that might result from current trends. In the Bank's view, these events, if materialized, would adversely affect the results of the Bank/Group in 2023-2024, and would reduce the organic generation of capital that is envisaged, but would not prevent the Bank/Group from continuing to implement its strategy and the generation of results that would mitigate the impact of such events.
The liquidity position of Bank Millennium Group remained very strong in 1H 2023. LCR ratio reached the level of 260% at the of June 2023, well above the supervisory minimum of 100%. Loan-to-deposit ratio remained at secure level of 74% and the share of liquid debt securities (mainly bonds issued by the sovereigns, multilateral development banks and NBP bills) in the Group's total assets remains significant at 25%.
At same time the Bank achieved good operational and business results, while actively managing and mitigating the different risks related to the banking activity. Taking into account the above circumstances and identified uncertainties, in particular, the Bank's capacity to meet capital solvency ratios and MREL requirements in subsequent reporting periods - the Bank's Management Board based on the analysis of all aspects of the Bank's operations and its current and forecast financial position, concluded that the application of the going concern assumption in the preparation of these financial statements is appropriate.
The Management Board approved these condensed interim financial statements on 25 th July 2023.

* The negative impact of fair value valuation of the loans portfolio is largely attributable to growth of loan spreads. The methodology, which the Bank uses for valuation of the loans portfolio, assumes that current spreads best reflect existing market conditions and economic situation. A corresponding rule is widely applied for valuation of debt securities, which are not quoted on active markets. In result, paradoxically whenever the spreads of new loans increase, fair value of the "old" loans portfolio falls.

As a result of the creation of a new business model at the Bank's individual level the Bank measures the fair value of mortgage loans classified to the Held to Collect and for Sale model using the discounted cash flow method and as that the valuation is based on input data that is not observable market data, the valuation method is classified under Level 3.
Changes of fair values of instruments measured on the basis of valuation techniques with use of significant parameters not derived from the market are presented in the table below (in '000 PLN).

On June 30, 2023, the Bank had 18,441 loan agreements and additionally 1,482 loan agreements from former Euro Bank under individual ongoing litigations (excluding claims submitted by the bank against clients i.e. debt collection cases) concerning indexation clauses of FX mortgage loans submitted to the courts (70% loans agreements before the courts of first instance and 30% loans agreements before the courts of second instance) with the total value of claims filed by the plaintiffs amounting to PLN 3,415.6 million and CHF 237.5 million (Bank Millennium portfolio: PLN 3,138 million and CHF 231.5 million and former Euro Bank portfolio: PLN 277.6 million and CHF 6 million). Out of 18,441 BM loan agreements in ongoing individual cases 163 are also part of class action. From the total number of individual litigations against the Bank approximately 1700 or 9.4% were submitted by borrowers that had already naturally or early fully repaid the loan or were converted to polish zloty at the moment of submission and had not a settlement agreement and another 600 correspond to loans that were fully repaid since then (as court proceedings are lengthy).
The claims formulated by the clients in individual proceedings primarily concern the declaration of invalidity of the contract and payment for reimbursement of paid principal and interest instalments as undue performance, due to the abusive nature of indexation clauses, or maintenance of the agreement in PLN with interest rate indexed to CHF Libor.
In addition, the Bank is a party to the group proceedings (class action) subject matter of which is to determine the Bank's liability towards the group members based on unjust enrichment (undue benefit) ground in connection with the foreign currency mortgage loans concluded. It is not a payment dispute. The judgment in these proceedings will not directly grant any amounts to the group members. The number of credit agreements covered by these proceedings is 3 273. Out of 3,273 loan agreements in class action 163 are also part of ongoing individual cases, 579 concluded settlements and 4 received final verdicts (invalidation of loan agreement). On 24 May 2022 the court issued a judgment on the merits, dismissing the claim in full. On 13 December 2022 the claimant filed an appeal against the judgment of 24 May 2022.
The pushy advertising campaign observed in the public domain affects the number of court disputes. Until the end of 2019, 1,985 individual claims were filed against the Bank (in addition, 236 against former Euro Bank), in 2020 the number increased by 3,006 (265), in 2021 the number increased by 6,156 (423), in 2022 the number increased by 5,750 (407), while in the first half of 2023 the number increased by 3,237 (272).
Based on ZBP (the Polish Banking Association) data gathered from all banks having FX mortgage loans, vast majority of disputes were finally resolved against the banks. As far as the Bank Millennium (incl. former Euro Bank portfolio) is concerned, from 2015 until the end of the first half of 2023, 2,082 cases were finally resolved (2,011 in claims submitted by clients against the Bank and 71 in claims submitted by the Bank against clients i.e. debt collection cases) out of which 573 were settlements, 42 were remissions, 56 rulings were favorable for the Bank and 1,411 were unfavorable including both invalidation of loan agreements as well as conversions into PLN+LIBOR. The Bank files appeals against negative judgements of the courts of 1st instance. Simultaneously the Bank undertakes proper legal actions in order to secure repayment of initially disbursed capital of the loan.
The outstanding gross balance of the loan agreements under individual court cases and class action against the Bank (incl. former Euro Bank portfolio) on 30.06.2023 was PLN 5,730 million (of which the outstanding amount of the loan agreements under the class action proceeding was 826 million PLN).
If all Bank Millennium's originated loan agreements currently under individual and class action court proceedings would be declared invalid without any compensation for the use of capital, the pre-tax cost could reach PLN 5,851 million. Overall losses would be higher or lower depending on the final court jurisprudence in this regard.
In the first half of 2023, the Bank created PLN 1 535,5 million of provisions for Bank Millennium originated portfolio and PLN 85,1 million for former Euro Bank originated portfolio. The balance sheet value of provisions for the Bank Millennium portfolio at the end of June 2023 was at the level of PLN 6,088 million, and PLN 474 million for former Euro Bank originated portfolio.
The methodology developed by the Bank of calculating provisions for legal risk involved with indexed loans is based on the following main parameters:

The Bank is open to negotiate case by case favourable conditions for early repayment or conversion of loans to PLN. As a result of these negotiations, the number of active FX mortgage loans originated by Bank Millennium decreased by 19,485: 1,362 in 2020; 8,450 in 2021; 7,943 in 2022 and 1,730 in the first half of 2023. As of the end of the first half of 2023, the Bank had 35,417 active FX mortgage loans. Cost incurred in conjunctions with these negotiations totalled PLN 1,104.6 million: PLN 44.4 million in 2020; PLN 364.6 million in 2021; PLN 515.2 million in 2022 and PLN 180.7 million in the first half of 2023 is presented mainly in 'Result on exchange differences' and also in 'Result on modification' in the profit and loss statement (the values of costs charged to particular items of the Income Statement due to settlements are presented in Note 10 in Chapter 4 of the Notes to the Financial Statements).
Legal risk from former Euro Bank portfolio is fully covered by Indemnity Agreement with Societe Generale.
The Bank analyzed the sensitivity of the methodology for calculating provisions, for which a change in the parameters would affect the value of the estimated loss to the legal risk of litigation:
| Parameter | Scenario | Impact on the loss |
|---|---|---|
| Change in the number of litigation | In addition, 1,000 new customers file a lawsuit against the Bank |
PLN 163 mln |
| Change of estimated losses for each variant of judgment |
Change of losses for each judgment variant by 1 p.p |
PLN 60 mln |
| Change in probability of success in negotiations with court client |
Change of probability by 1 p.p | PLN 25 mln |
On December 8, 2020, Mr. Jacek Jastrzębski, the Chairman of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority ('PFSA') proposed a 'sector' solution to address the sector risks related to FX mortgages. The solution would consist in offering banks' clients a voluntary possibility of concluding arrangements based on which a client would settle a CHF Mortgage Loan as if it was a PLN loan bearing interest at an appropriate WIBOR rate increased by the margin historically employed for such loans. As of the date of this Base Prospectus, the Bank has not taken any decision regarding the implementation of this solution, but cannot exclude implementing it in the future. The decision to generally implement this solution could imply the need of creating upfront provisions for the losses resulting from the conversion of CHF Mortgage Loans. The Bank in practice has been using elements of such solution on many individual negotiations with FX mortgage borrowers, including in the course of court proceedings.
Due to the circumstances stemming from the CJEU verdict in case C-520/21 (below described), the possibility of successful implementation of a general offer of KNF solution is low.
Finally it should also be mentioned, that the Bank, as at 30.06.2023, had to maintain additional own funds for the coverage of additional capital requirements related to FX mortgage portfolio risks (Pillar II FX buffer) in the amount of 1.95 p.p. (1.94 p.p. at the Group level), part of which is allocated to operational/legal risk.
On 3 October 2019, the Court of Justice of the European Union ('the CJEU') issued the judgment in Case C-260/18 in connection with the preliminary questions formulated by the District Court of Warsaw in the case against Raiffeisen Bank International AG. The judgment of the CJEU, as regards the interpretation of European Union law made therein, is binding on domestic courts. The judgment in question interpreted Article 6 of Directive 93/13. In the light of the subject matter judgment the said provision must be interpreted in such a way that (i) the national court may invalidate a credit agreement if the removal of unfair terms detected in this agreement would alter the nature of the main subject-matter of the contract; (ii) the effects for the consumer's situation

resulting from the cancellation of the contract must be assessed in the light of the circumstances existing or foreseeable at the time when the dispute arose and the will of the consumer is decisive as to whether he wishes to maintain the contract; (iii) Article 6 of the Directive precludes the filling-in of gaps in the contract caused by the removal of unfair terms from the contract solely on the basis of national legislation of a general nature or established customs; (iv) Article 6 of the Directive precludes the maintenance of unfair terms in the contract if the consumer has not consented to the maintenance of such terms. It can be noticed the CJEU found doubtful the possibility of a credit agreement being performed further in PLN while keeping interest calculated according to LIBOR.
The CJEU judgment concerns only the situation where the national court has previously found the contract term to be abusive. It is the exclusive competence of the national courts to assess, in the course of judicial proceedings, whether a particular contract term can be regarded as abusive in the circumstances of the case.
On 29th April 2021, the CJEU issued the judgement in the case C-19/20 in connection with the preliminary questions formulated by the District Court in Gdańsk in the case against of ex-BPH S.A., CJEU said that:
(i) it is for the national court to find that a term in a contract is unfair, even if it has been contractually amended by those parties. Such a finding leads to the restoration of the situation that the consumer would have been in in the absence of the term found to be unfair, except where the consumer, by means of amendment of the unfair term, has waived such restoration by free and informed consent. However, it does not follow from Council Directive 93/13 that a finding that the original term is unfair would, in principle, lead to annulment of the contract, since the amendment of that term made it possible to restore the balance between the obligations and rights of those parties arising under the contract and to remove the defect which vitiated it.
(ii) the national court may remove only the unfair element of a term in a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer where the deterrent objective pursued by Council Directive 93/13 is ensured by national legislative provisions governing the use of that term, provided that that element consists of a separate contractual obligation, capable of being subject to an individual examination of its unfair nature. At the same time, provisions of the Directive preclude the referring court from removing only the unfair element of a term in a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer where such removal would amount to revising the content of that term by altering its substance.
(iii) the consequences of a judicial finding that a term if a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer is unfair are covered by national law and the question of continuity of the contract should be assessed by the national court of its own motion in accordance with an objective approach on the basis of those provisions.
(iv) the national court, finding that a term in a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer is unfair, shall inform the consumer, in the context of the national procedural rules after both parties have been heard, of the legal consequences entailed by annulment of the contract, irrespective of whether the consumer is represented by a professional representative.
On November 18, 2021, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued a judgment in case C-212/20 in connection with questions submitted by the District Court for Warsaw Wola in Warsaw in the case against Raiffeisen Bank International AG. The CJEU stated that:
(i) The content of the clause of the loan agreement concluded between the entrepreneur and the consumer fixing the purchase and sale price of the foreign currency to which the loan is indexed should, on the basis of clear and comprehensible criteria, enable the consumer who is reasonably well informed and sufficiently observant and rational to understand how the exchange rate of the foreign currency used to calculate the amount of the loan instalments is determined, so that the consumer is able to determine himself at any time the exchange rate used by the entrepreneur.
(ii) A national court which has found that a term of the agreement concluded between an entrepreneur and a consumer is unfair cannot interpret that term in order to mitigate its unfairness, even if such an interpretation would correspond to the common will of the parties.
On 10 June 2021, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued an order in case C-198/20 in connection with questions submitted by the District Court for Warsaw Wola in Warsaw in the case against Santander Bank Polska SA. The CJEU stated that the protection provided for in Council Directive 93/13/EEC is granted to all consumers, not just those who can be considered to be "duly informed and reasonably observant and circumspect average consumer".
On 8 September 2022, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued a judgment in joined cases C-80/21, C-81/21, C-82/21 in connection with questions submitted by the District Court for Warsaw Śródmieście in Warsaw in cases against Deutsche Bank SA and mBank SA. The CJEU stated that:
(i) A national court may find that the parts of a contractual term of the agreement concluded between a consumer and an entrepreneur which render it unfair are unfair, if such a deletion would not amount to a change in the content of that term that affects its substance, which is for the referring court to verify.
(ii) A national court cannot, after annulling an unfair term contained in an agreement concluded between a consumer and an entrepreneur which does not render the agreement invalid in its entirety, replace that term with a supplementary provision of the national law.
(iii) A national court may not, after having declared invalid an unfair term contained in an agreement concluded between a consumer and an entrepreneur which entails the invalidity of that agreement in its entirety, replace the contractual term which has been declared invalid either by interpretation of the parties' declaration of intent in order to avoid the cancellation of that agreement or by a provision of national law of a supplementary nature, even if the consumer has been informed of the effects of the invalidity of that agreement, and accepted them.
(iv) The ten-year limitation period for a consumer's claim seeking reimbursement of sums unduly paid to the entrepreneur in performance of an unfair term of a loan agreement does not start to run on the date of each performance made by the consumer if the consumer was not able on that date to assess on his own the unfairness of the contractual term or if he had not become aware of the unfair nature of that term and without taking into account the circumstances that the agreement provided for a repayment period – in this case thirty years – well in excess of the ten-year statutory limitation period.
On March 16, 2023, the Court of Justice of the European Union issued a judgment in a case registered under case number C-6/22, following preliminary questions submitted by the District Court for Warsaw-Wola in a case against the former Getin Bank S.A.. In the judgment, the CJEU ruled that:
i) in the event that a contract concluded between a consumer and a seller or supplier is declared invalid because one of its terms is unfair, it is for the Member States, by means of their national law, to make provision for the effects of that invalidation, in compliance with the protection granted to the consumer by that directive, in particular, by ensuring the restoration of the legal and factual situation that he or she would have been in if that unfair term had not existed.
ii) a national court is not allowed, first, to examine of its own motion, without any prerogative conferred on it by national law in that regard, the financial situation of a consumer who has sought the invalidation of the contract between him or her and a seller or supplier on account of the presence of an unfair term without which the contract cannot legally continue to exist, even if that invalidation is liable to expose the consumer to particularly unfavourable consequences and, second, to refuse to declare that invalidation where the consumer has expressly sought it, after being objectively and exhaustively informed of the legal consequences and the particularly unfavourable financial consequences which it may have for him or her.
iii) a national court is not allowed, after it has found that a term in a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer is unfair, to fill gaps resulting from the removal of the unfair term contained therein by the application of a provision of national law which cannot be characterised as a supplementary provision. However, it is for the national court, taking account of its domestic law as a whole, to take all the measures necessary to protect the consumer from the particularly unfavourable consequences which annulment of the contract might entail for him or her.

On June 8, 2023, the Court of Justice of the European Union issued a judgment in a case registered under case number C-570/21, following preliminary questions submitted by the District Court in Warsaw in a case against the former Getin Bank S.A. In the judgment, the CJEU ruled that:
i) provisions of Council Directive 93/13 must be interpreted as meaning that the concept of 'consumer', within the meaning of that provision, covers a person who has concluded a loan contract intended for a purpose in part within and in part outside his or her trade, business or profession, together with a joint-borrower who did not act within his or her trade, business or profession, where the trade, business or professional purpose is so limited as not to be predominant in the overall context of that contract.
ii) provisions of Directive 93/13 must be interpreted as meaning that in order to determine whether a person falls within the concept of 'consumer', within the meaning of that provision, and, specifically, whether the trade, business or professional purpose of a loan contract concluded by that person is so limited as not to be predominant in the overall context of that contract, the referring court is required to take into consideration all the relevant circumstances surrounding that contract, both quantitative and qualitative, such as, in particular, the distribution of the borrowed capital between, on the one hand, a trade, business or profession and, on the other hand, a nonprofessional activity and, where there are several borrowers, the fact that only one of them is pursuing a professional purpose or that the lender made the grant of credit intended for consumer purposes conditional on a partial allocation of the amount borrowed to the repayment of debts connected with a trade, business or profession.
On June 15, 2023, the Court of Justice of the European Union issued a judgment in a case registered under case number C-287/22, following preliminary questions submitted by the District Court in Warsaw in a case against the former Getin Bank S.A. In the judgment, the CJEU ruled that provisions of the Directive 93/13 must be interpreted as precluding national case-law according to which a national court may dismiss an application for the grant of interim measures lodged by a consumer seeking the suspension, pending a final decision on the invalidity of the loan agreement concluded by that consumer on the ground that that loan agreement contains unfair terms, of the payment of the monthly instalments due under that loan agreement, where the grant of those interim measures is necessary to ensure the full effectiveness of that decision.
On June 15, 2023, the CJEU issued a judgment in a case registered under case number C-520/21, following preliminary questions submitted by the District Court in Warsaw in a case against Bank Millennium, in which indicated that Directive 93/13 does not expressly regulate the consequences of invalidity of a contract concluded between a credit institution and a consumer after the removal of unfair terms contained therein. The CJEU stated that:
i) the provisions of the Directive do not preclude a judicial interpretation of national law, according to which the consumer has the right to demand compensation from the credit institution beyond the reimbursement of monthly instalments and costs paid for the performance of this contract and the payment of statutory default interest from the date of the request for payment provided that the objectives of Directive 93/13 and the principle of proportionality are respected.
ii) the provisions of Directive 93/13 preclude the judicial interpretation of national law, according to which a credit institution has the right to demand compensation from the consumer that goes beyond the return of the capital paid for the performance of this contract and beyond the payment of statutory default interest from the date of the request for payment.
On 7th May 2021, the Supreme Court composed of 7 judges of the Supreme Court, issued a resolution for which the meaning of legal principle has been granted, stating that:
An abusive contractual clause (art. 385(1) § 1 of the Civil Code), by force of the law itself, is ineffective to the benefit of the consumer who may consequently give conscious and free consent to this clause and thus restore its effectiveness retroactively.
If without the ineffective clause the loan agreement cannot bind, the consumer and the lender shall be eligible for separate claims for return of monetary performances made in exercising this agreement (art. 410 § 1 in relation to art. 405 of the Civil Code). The lender may demand return of the performance from the moment the loan agreement becomes permanently ineffective.
On April 28, 2022 the Supreme Court issued a resolution (III CZP 40/22) in which it indicated that in disputes with consumers, the provision of Article 358(1) of the Civil Code is a special provision to Article 353(1) of the Civil Code, which means that if the prerequisites for the application of both provisions exist, the court should apply the special provision and declare the contractual provision permanently ineffective, rather than invalid. This decision of the Supreme Court should be perceived as significantly limiting the risk of the bank's claims for return of capital being timebarred.
The effect of the Supreme Court's resolution of 7 May 2021 is that the bank is entitled to a refund of the cash benefit provided by the bank in performance of a permanently ineffective contract. Taking into account the uncertainty as to the starting point of the limitation period for the bank's claims, the Bank, in order to protect its interests, files lawsuits for payment against borrowers in a court dispute with the bank. The bank's demand consists of a claim for return of the capital made available to the borrower under the contract. After the CJEU verdict of June 15, 2023, in case C-520/21, it seems that the issue that requires further analysis is whether the return of the originally disbursed capital should be made at nominal value or with the loss of purchasing power of money taken into account. By 30 June 2023 the Bank filed 4.8 thousands lawsuits against the borrowers.
In this context, taking into consideration the recent negative evolution in the court verdicts regarding FX mortgage loans, and if such trend continues, the Bank will have to regularly review and may need to continue to increase the balance of provisions allocated to court litigations.
It can reasonably be assumed that the legal issues relating to foreign currency mortgage loans will be further examined by the national courts within the framework of disputes considered which would possibly result in the emergence of further interpretations, which are relevant for the assessment of the risks associated with subject matter proceedings. This circumstance indicates the need for constant analysis of these matters. Further request for clarification and ruling addressed to the European Court of Justice and Polish Supreme Court have already been filed and may still be filed with potential impact on the outcome of the court cases.
On 29 January 2021 a set of questions addressed by the First President of the Supreme Court to the full Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court was published. This may have important consequences in terms of clarifications of relevant aspects of the court rulings and their consequences. The Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court has been requested for answering the questions concerning key matters related to FX mortgage agreements: (i) is it permissible to replace - with the law provisions or with a custom - the abusive provisions of an agreement which refer to FX exchange rate determination; moreover, (ii) in case of impossibility of determining the exchange rate of a foreign currency in the indexed/denominated credit agreement - is it permissible to keep the agreement still valid in its remaining scope; as well as (iii) if in case of invalidity of the CHF credit there would be applicable the theory of balance (i.e. does arise a single claim which is equal to the difference between value of claims of bank and the customer) or the theory of two condictions (separate claims for the bank and for the client that should be dealt with separately). The Supreme Court has also been requested for answering the question on (iv) from which point in time there shall be starting the limitation period in case of bank's claim for repayment of amounts paid as a loan and (v) whether banks and consumers may receive remuneration for using their pecuniary means by another party.

On 11 May 2021 the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court requested opinions on Swiss franc mortgage loans from five institutions including the National Bank of Poland (NBP), the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (UKNF), the Commissioner for Human Rights, the Children's Rights Ombudsman and the Financial Ombudsman.
The positions of: the Commissioner for Human Rights, the Children's Rights Ombudsman and the Financial Ombudsman are in general favorable to consumers, while the National Bank of Poland and the Polish Financial Supervision Authority present a more balanced position, including fair principles of treatment of FX mortgage borrowers vis-à-vis PLN mortgage borrowers, as well as balanced economic aspects regarding solutions for the problem that could be considered by the Supreme Court.
In the next meeting of the Supreme Court that took place on 2 September 2021, the Court did not address the answers to the submitted questions and no new meeting date is known.
On 9 December 2022, in the case brought by the Bank against the borrower for payment – return of the capital made available to the borrower on the basis of an invalid capital contract and the equivalent value of the benefit related to the borrower's use of capital, the court referred a question to the CJEU for a preliminary ruling whether, if it is found that the loan contract concluded by the bank and the consumer is invalid from the beginning due to the conclusion of unfair contractual terms, in addition to the return of money paid in the performance of this contract (loan principal) and statutory late payment interest from the moment of the request for payment, the bank may also demand any other benefits, including receivables, in particular remuneration, compensation, reimbursement of costs or valorisation of the benefit. The case was suspended for the duration of Case C-520/21. As a result of the judgment in Case C-520/21, the case became a pending case, but there are doubts whether it will be continued due to the judgment in said Case C-520/21.
The subject of the CJEU's analysis, as a result of the Warsaw District Court's questions remains the issues related to the limitation period of the Bank's and the customer's restitution claims following the collapse of the loan agreement (Cases: C-28/22 ; C-140/22). Legal interpretations in these cases may be particularly significant for the Bank's claims as to the commencement of the running of the limitation period of its claims, by eliminating or confirming the risk of its claims being deemed time-barred in a given case.
With the scope of settlements between the Bank and borrower following the fall of the loan agreement is also connected the legal issue directed to the seven-person composition of the Supreme Court (case sign: III CZP 54/21). The date of case review has not been specified yet.
The Supreme Court was also presented with the issue of whether the loan agreement is a mutual agreement in the light of the regulations concerning retention right (III CZP 89/22).
Due to the complexity and uncertainty regarding the outcome of court cases, including counterclaims, as well as other negotiation solutions or from potential Supreme Court decisions or European Court of Justice decisions, it is difficult to reliably estimate final impacts from different potential outcomes as at the date of publication of the financial statements.
The issue that remains unresolved in the jurisprudence of common courts and the Supreme Court is also the issue of the admissibility of borrowers' claims in the event of the invalidity of a loan agreement for payment of amounts beyond the reimbursement of monthly installments and costs paid for the execution of that agreement and beyond the payment of statutory default interest from the date of the demand for payment, which, in light of the CJEU's judgment of June 15, 2023 in case C-520/21, remains not excluded. Due to the uncertainty of the direction of case law in this area, as of the date of publication of the report, it is difficult to reliably assess the impact of potential rulings.
During the 6 months ended June 30, 2023, the Bank's liabilities due to the issue of debt securities increased by PLN 8.0 million and their balance as at that date amounted to PLN 251.8 million. The change resulted solely from the accrual and payment of interest on the issued bonds for the given period.
Capital management relates to two areas: capital adequacy management and capital allocation. For both areas, management goals were set.
The goal of capital adequacy management is: (a) meeting the requirements specified in external regulations (regulatory capital adequacy) and (b) ensuring the solvency in normal and stressed conditions (economic capital adequacy/internal capital). Completing that goal, the Bank strives to achieve internal long-term capital limits (targets), defined in Risk Strategy.
Capital allocation purpose is to create value for shareholders by maximizing the return on risk in business activity, considering established risk tolerance.
In a scope of capital management process, there is also a capital planning process. The goal of capital planning is to designate the own funds (capital base that is risk-taking capacity) and capital usage (regulatory capital requirements and economic capital) in a way to ensure that capital targets/limits shall be met, given forecasted business strategy and risk profile – in normal and stressed macroeconomic conditions.
The Bank and the Group are obliged by law to meet minimum own funds and leverage ratio requirements, set in art. 92 of the Regulation (EU) 2019/876 of the European Parliament and of the Council as of 20 May 2019 amending Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 as regards the leverage ratio, the net stable funding ratio, requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities, counterparty credit risk, market risk, exposures to central counterparties, exposures to collective investment undertaking, large exposures, reporting and disclosure requirements, and Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (CRR II). At the same time, the following levels, recommendations, and buffers were included in capital limits/targets setting:
• Pillar II FX mortgage buffer (RRE FX) - KNF recommendation to maintain additional own funds for the coverage of additional capital requirements to secure the risk resulting from FX mortgage loans granted to households, in line with art. 138.1.2a of Banking Act. At present, the buffer was set by KNF in recommendations issued in the end of 2022 in the level of 1.95pp (the Bank) and 1.94pp (the Group) as for Total Capital Ratio (TCR), which corresponds to capital requirements for Tier 1 ratio of 1.47pp (the Bank) and of 1.46pp (the Group), and which corresponds to capital requirements for CET 1 ratio of 1.10pp (the Bank) and 1.09pp (the Group).

In December 2022, the Bank received a recommendation to maintain, on an individual and consolidated level, own funds to cover an additional capital charge ("P2G") in order to absorb potential losses resulting from the occurrence of stresses, at the level of 1.72pp and 1.75pp (the Bank and the Group) over the OCR value (Pillar II Guidance or "P2G"). According to the recommendation, the additional capital charge should consist of common equity Tier 1 capital (CET1 capital).
The minimum capital ratios required by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority for the combined buffer requirement (OCR) continued to be fulfilled at the end of 2Q2023. As regards the levels expected by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, including the additional P2G surcharge, the Bank has not yet achieved them for the T1 ratio.

The increase in capital ratios in 2Q2023 compared to 1Q2023 was mainly due to an increase in own funds, with a simultaneous decrease in risk-weighted assets / own funds requirements. Own funds increased by PLN 196 million (2.9%), mainly because of a decrease in the negative valuation of treasury securities valued through equity. Own funds requirements decreased by PLN 64 million (1.7%). The leverage ratio increased due to the aforementioned increase in own funds.
During the 1st half 2023, the Bank continued to be focused on further strengthening of its capital ratios. The Bank's priority is now to maintain them permanently and safely above the minimum requirements and to take further necessary steps towards meeting the MREL requirements.
The Bank manages MREL indicators in a manner analogous to capital adequacy management.
The Bank received in June 2023 the joint decision of the resolution authorities obliging to meet MREL requirements. At the moment of communication of the decision, the Bank at the consolidated level is obliged to meet the minimum MRELtrea requirements of 14.42% and MRELtem of 4.46%. The minimum subordination MRELtrea was set at 14.28% and MRELtem 4.44%. At the same time, the above-mentioned decision sets updated minimum requirements that must be met by December 31, 2023, at the level of 18.89% and 5.91% (consolidated MRELtrea and MRELtem).
In addition to these MREL levels, the Bank also needs to meet MREL with Combined Buffer Requirement (currently 2.75%).
| MREL | 30.06.2023 | 31.03.2023* | 30.06.2022 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MRELtrea ratio | 14.94% | 14.20% | 15.26% |
| Minimum required level MRELtrea | 14.42% | 15.60% | 15.60% |
| Surplus(+) / Deficit(-) of MRELtrea (p.p.) | 0.52 | -1.40 | -0.34 |
| Minimum required level including Combined Buffer Requirement (CBR) | 17.17% | 18.35% | 18.35% |
| Surplus(+) / Deficit(-) of MRELtrea+CBR (p.p.) | -2.23 | -4.15 | -3.09 |
| MRELtem ratio | 5.90% | 6.06% | 6.82% |
| Minimum required level of MRELtem | 4.46% | 3.00% | 3.00% |
| Surplus(+) / Deficit(-) of MRELtem (p.p.) | 1.44 | 3.06 | 3.82 |
* - All data for quarterly periods presented in these condensed interim financial statements of the Bank have not been audited or reviewed by a statutory auditor.
Regarding the MREL requirements both MRELtrea and MRELtem, the Bank presents a surplus compared to the level required as at the reporting date, but does not yet meet the MRELtrea requirement, considering the combined buffer requirement.
As informed in the Current Report no. 19/2023, in June 2023 the Bank Guarantee Fund took an administrative decision under the terms of Articles 96a - 96d of the Bank Guarantee Fund Act, prohibiting the Bank from distributing profits in excess of the maximum distributable amount related to the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (M-MDA).
After the improvement in the capital ratios above described, the Bank's priority is to take further necessary steps towards meeting the MREL requirements, taking also into consideration the level required after the end of the interim period on 31 December 2023. The Bank plans to cover the shortfall by the end of 2023 through a combination of organic capital generation, optimization of risk weighted assets (including securitisations) and the issue of debt instruments, if required and the market conditions allow. Having reference to that, the Bank prepared a Eurobond Issue Programme of the total nominal value not higher than EUR 3 billion, what was communicated in a current report in January 2022.

Structure of off-balance sheet liabilities was as follows:
In May 2022, the Polish government announced that WIBOR would be replaced by a different (lower) rate from 1 January 2023. In June 2022, a Working Group was established, including commercial banks, GPW Benchmark (Administrator of WIBOR), KNF.
In July 2022, the National Working Group on Reference Rate Reform (NWG) was established in connection with the planned reform of reference rates in Poland. The objective of the NGR's work to introduce a new interest rate benchmark and replace the currently used WIBOR index with it while ensuring the compliance with BMR, including in particular ensuring credibility, transparency and reliability in the development and application of the new benchmark.
The National Working Group involves representatives of the Ministry of Finance, the National Bank of Poland, the Office of the Financial Supervision Authority, the Bank Guarantee Fund, the Polish Development Fund, the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the National Depository for Securities, Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, the GPW Benchmark, as well as representatives of credit institutions, i.e. in particular, banks, financial institutions, including investment funds, insurance companies, factoring and leasing companies, entities that are bond issuers, including corporate and municipal bonds, clearing houses.
The work of the National Working Group is coordinated and supervised by a Steering Committee including representatives of key institutions: Financial Supervision Authority, the National Bank of Poland, the Ministry of Finance, the Bank Guarantee Fund, the Polish Development Fund, as well as the GPW Benchmark - the administrator of the reference rates - and the Polish Bank Association (Polish: Związek Banków Polskich).
The NWG's activities are executed in a project formula, where project streams have been identified and where Bank Millennium representatives are actively contributing to the work.
The National Working Group selected the WIRON index to become the key interest rate benchmark under the BMR and to be used in financial contracts, financial instruments.
In connection with this, Bank Millennium S.A. established, by resolution of the Bank's Management Board of 24 August 2022, an internal project reporting to the Management Board (Deputy Chairman of the Management Board - CFO and Member of the Management Board overseeing the areas of retail and corporate products), in order to duly manage the WIBOR to WIRON transition process and to implement the work in accordance with the roadmap. This work involves representatives from a significant number of the Bank's business units, including, in particular, representatives responsible for product areas and risk management issues, including, in particular, interest rate risk and operational risk. The structure of the project includes the division into streams covering products and processes where the WIBOR benchmark is applied, the management of the project by a dedicated project manager and the periodical reporting of statuses on the individual streams. In the current phase of the project, intensive work is underway at the Bank to adjust the technological infrastructure, as well as including the preparation of internal processes and documentation.
The Bank uses the WIBOR reference rate in the following products (in million PLN):

The Bank also applies instruments based on WIBOR benchmarks in hedge accounting, details of the hedging relationships used by the Group, the items designated as hedged and hedging and the presentation of the result on these transactions are presented in Note 16 "Derivatives - Hedge accounting" in Chapter 4 "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Bank Millennium S.A. is working on the analysis of the risks and monitors them on a regular basis. In addition, due to the lack of formal information regarding the potential regulatory event referred to in Article 23c(1) of the BMR, the lack of a regulation of the Minister of Finance referred to in Article 61c of the Act of 5 August 2015 on macro-prudential supervision of the financial system and crisis management in the financial system concerning a substitute or at least a draft of such a regulation, the lack of information on the amount of the adjustment spread or the method of calculating this spread as well as the lack of a market for hedging instruments and given the current stage of the work of the National Working Group and the implementation of the Roadmap, it is currently not possible to estimate the financial impact of the WIBOR reform.
In March 2023, the Steering Committee of the National Working Group on Benchmark Reform adopted recommendations on new products, both banking, leasing and factoring, as well as previously published ones on bonds and derivatives.
In July 2023, the NWG SC adopted a Recommendation on applying a fallback rate for WIBOR benchmark in interest rate derivatives. The recommendation presents the method of replacing WIBOR with an Alternative Benchmark in WIBOR-based interest rate derivatives in the event where a Fallback Trigger of a permanent nature occurs.
The Bank applies the USD LIBOR benchmark to the following products (in million PLN):
On 3 April 2023, the Financial Conduct Authority supervising ICE Benchmark Administration Limited announced a decision regarding the future of LIBOR USD 3M and LIBOR USD 6M. FCA indicated that LIBOR USD 3M and LIBOR USD 6M will continue to be calculated and published after 30 June 2023 using the revised "synthetic" methodology, most likely until 30 September 2024. Considering the marginal number of such contracts in the Bank's portfolio, Bank is taking effort to implement individual approach to each of these contracts.
On July 12, 2023, Millennium Leasing Sp. z o. o. concluded a Transaction of synthetic securitization of lease receivables with transfer of risk within the meaning of Art. 2 point 10) of Regulation (EU) No. 2402/2017 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a general framework for securitization and creating a specific framework for simple, transparent and standardized securitization, and amending Directives 2009/65/EC, 2009/138/EC and 2011 /61/EU and Regulations (EC) No. 1060/2009 and (EU) No. 648/2012 as amended ("Securitization Regulation").
As part of the Transaction, Millennium Leasing securitized synthetic exposures consisting of receivables arising from lease agreements generated in the ordinary course of business of Millennium Leasing ("Reference Receivables") with a value of PLN 4,028 million, including the purchase of credit risk protection covering losses which, according to with transaction documents will be allocated to the Mezzanine Tranche worth PLN 280 million, in the form of financed credit linked notes (CLN) issued directly by Millennium Leasing sp. z o.o. and acquired by Precise Credit Solutions 11 S.à r.l. based in Luxembourg.
The CLN bonds will be listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange and Millennium Leasing's performance of the obligation to pay interest and redemption of the bonds is secured by debt securities (treasury bonds in the amount of 110% of the issued CLN amount). Pursuant to and subject to the terms of the transaction documents, the principal amount of the CLN bonds will be reduced by the amount of each credit loss allocated to the Mezzanine Tranche following the occurrence of a credit event with respect to the Reference Receivable.
Forementioned transaction will have an estimated positive impact in July on Group Tier 1 ratio of ca 47 bps and on Group Total Capital Ratio of ca 62 bps.
