10. At 31 December 2015 the Group's dependency on Eurosystem financing facilities amounted to € 25.3bn, of which € 20bn funding from ELA.
11. In the context of the adverse economic conditions in Greece in 2015 affecting the financial position of the Greek banks, the European Central Bank (ECB) conducted a comprehensive assessment (CA) of the four systemic Greek banks in order to assess their capital adequacy taking into account the combined effect of an Asset Quality Review (AQR) and a forward looking Stress Test (ST) over a three-year time period (2015-2017) under two stress test scenarios (baseline and adverse). On 31 October 2015, ECB announced the CA results according to which the Group's capital shortfall under the baseline and adverse scenario amounted to € 339m and € 2,122m respectively. On 13 November 2015, the Single Supervisory Mechanism of the ECB recognised € 83 million of capital generation that could be taken into account to reduce the Bank's total capital shortfall.
12. As at 31 December 2015, in assessing the adequacy of impairment losses on loans and advances to customers, the Group took into consideration the aforementioned 2015 AQR results and their underlying assumptions, the impact of which was captured in the second quarter of 2015, to the appropriate extent, based on the Group's existing impairment policies and within the context of its revised estimates in order to reflect, among others, the impact of the financial and political developments in Greece. Accordingly, for the year ended 31 December 2015, the Bank and the Group recognized an impairment loss for their loan portfolio of € 2,398m and € 2,665m, respectively (notes 23 and 25 of the Bank's and the Group's financial statements, respectively). 13. On 3 November 2015, the Bank's Board of Directors (BoD), resolved to call an Extraordinary General Meeting on 16 November 2015 to approve a share capital increase (SCI) of up to € 2,122 million. The capital increase was effected by means of a private placement to institutional and other eligible investors in Greece and internationally through a bookbuilding process (Institutional Offering), with waiving of the pre-emption rights of the Bank's existing ordinary shareholders and preference shareholder. In combination with the SCI, a Liability Management Exercise (LME) was launched by the Bank on 29 October 2015 referring to the tender offer on € 877 million (face value) of outstanding eligible senior unsecured, Tier I and Tier II securities. Based on the results of the bookbuilding process, the BoD set the offer price at € 0.01 per offered new share or € 1.00 following the 100-to-1 reverse stock split. Accordingly, on 23 November 2015, following the completion of the SCI of total amount of € 2,039 million, the Bank announced that the 2,038,920,000 new ordinary registered shares were allocated as follows: (a) 1,621,150,153 of the new shares to qualified investors, eligible institutional and other investors who met certain criteria and (b) 417,769,847 of the new shares to investors whose securities had been finally accepted for purchase in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bank's LME. As at 31 December 2015, the Group's Common Equity Tier I ratio stands at 17% (notes 6, 36, 39, 41 and 48 of the Group's financial statements). 14. Following the completion of the aforementioned SCI, the percentage of the ordinary shares with voting rights held by HFSF decreased from 35.41% to 2.38%. In addition, the Bank has entered into a new Relationship Framework Agreement (RFA) with the HFSF on 4 December 2015 replacing the previous one, signed on 26 August 2014. Taking into account the terms of the revised RFA, the HFSF is still considered to have significant influence over the Bank (notes 44 and 48 of the Bank's and the Group's financial statements, respectively). 15. On 1 March 2016, the acquisition of the entirety of the operations of Alpha Bank's Bulgarian Branch by Eurobank's subsidiary in Bulgaria, Eurobank Bulgaria AD, was completed after obtaining the relevant regulatory approvals (note 47 of the Group's financial statements). 16. The emphasis of matter stated in Auditor's report, refers to the material uncertainties in relation to the current economic conditions and the ongoing developments in Greece (note 2 of the Bank's and the Group's financial statements).
The information listed below aims to provide a general overview about the financial position and the financial results of Eurobank Ergasias S.A. and its Group. Consequently, readers are strongly advised to visit the website of the Bank, where the Annual Financial Statements prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as well as the certified auditors' opinion are available, before any investment decision or transaction with the Bank is entered into.
