Mr Henri Bonnet has further explained the method of voting at the General Meeting, so that on voting the shareholder will separate the ballot paper with announced sequence number of the respective ballot. If the shareholder agrees with the proposal, she or he will separate the green ballot; if s/he does not agree, s/he will separate the red ballot; if s/he abstains, s/he will separate the yellow ballot and puts the ballot into the ballot-box with which scrutinisers will go round the shareholders.

Furthermore has stated that all documents relating to the agenda of the General Meeting were available for the shareholders on the web sites of Komerční banka as early as from the date of publishing the Announcement of the General Meeting on 21 March 2012.

Then the chairman of the General Meeting Mr Pavel Henzl has asked the Chairman of the Board of Directors Mr Henri Bonnet to bring forward a commentary on this item on the Agenda.

Mr Henri Bonnet mentioned that the whole report was part of the underlying documents for shareholders who had thus opportunity to read it. Therefore he only presents the most important items. (The report was accompanied by visual documentation – see Schedule No. 9)

He stated that he would pinpoint the most important issues in his report.

Referring to the client portfolio and distribution network, he said that the whole Komerční banka Group manages a portfolio numbering approximately 2.6 million clients. Last year, Komerční banka succeeded in increasing the number of its clients by 12,000, whereas subsidiaries Modrá pyramida /Blue Pyramid/ and Essox recorded a slight decline in the number of clients by 6 and 9 %, respectively, which reflects customers' dislike of using consumer credits as well as changes in legal regulations..

He stated that Komerční banka opened 2 new branches in Brno in 2001 and 3 branch units were relocated so as to get the bank near to its clients and to locate the branches to places with higher number of clients. 15 branch offices were renovated.

Also available are 20 commercial centres which administer accounts of small and medium sized businesses and municipalities, and 5 commercial divisions, of which 1 is located in Bratislava. The MPSS network preserves the same number of points of sale as in 2010 (219) in which it employs ca 1,470 sales representatives. The newest subsidiary within the Group, SG Equipment Finance, has at its disposal 7 branches in CR and 2 in Slovakia.

He reminded that 66 % of the bank's clients utilises remote bank services, especially the internet banking. Within several weeks the bank will implement an entirely new version of Mojebanka /My Bank/ application.

As to the situation in the field of deposits in KB Group as at the end of 2011 he stated that the overall deposits of the Group were up 4.2 % to slightly over CZK 560 billion. Increase was recorded in all segments and the volume of deposits on without fixed term grew 6 %.

Funds in Penzijní fond KB /Pension Fund KB/ increased by 5.7 %. Changes in legislation relating to taxation of building savings and in particular the unconfirmed reports from the media affected the results of Blue Pyramid. Nevertheless the company succeeded in achieving results above market level.

The deposits of businesses and municipalities also grew, namely by 5 %. In the small businesses segment (entrepreneurs, small and medium sized industrial enterprises) the development was even more dynamic with an increase by 6 %.

In all segments of clients of the Bank a pressure of its competitors was apparent, in particular from those who newly entered the market and offered very attractive yield rates to prospective clients in an effort to increase their volumes.

As far as the credit granting activity of the Komerční banka Group is concerned, the overall volume was up 13 % as compared with previous year. For the sake of comparison (if SGEF acquisition is included) the

7


increase was 10 %. The similar development was recorded by all client segments as well as by all products except for consumer credits.

The volume of credits granted to enterprises and municipalities grew 16 and 9 per cent, respectively, if SGEF effect is excluded. Here, too, the development in the small businesses segment was more dynamic. The volume of receivables managed by Factoring KB also recorded a very dynamic development.

In the private clientele segment the bank achieved very satisfactory results, in particular in an increase of volume of mortgages (+ 13.6 %) and of credits from building savings realised by Blue Pyramid (+ 3.4 %). This company was also one of the two building savings companies, which were able to preserve the growth in volume of credits. On the other hand, the volume of consumer credits was down 0.3 %, which, however, is still better than results recorded by the market.

As can be seen in main indicators of results consolidated in accordance with IFRS standards, the Komerční banka Group recorded net profit of CZK 9.48 billion, which represents decline by 28.9 % as compared to 2010. The net profit volume was in particular affected by drop in book value of Greek debentures to CZK 5.36 billion. If extraordinary items (Greece and SGEF) are included in the result, then the net profit grew 5.6 % to CZK 13.67 billion. Net revenue per share is CZK 250.

The international rating agencies evaluate Komerční banka among Czech banks at the top level. From their viewpoint, however, the rating agencies decreased the Bank's rating with regard to the evaluation of Société Générale Group.

As for priorities of development for 2012, the bank will continue to invest in the development of direct channels, in modernization of branch office network as well as in the development of its salespersons to strengthen satisfaction of clients.

In order to reinforce loyalty of clients, the bank intends to focus on mortgages and consumer credits. It also intends to develop credits for small and medium sized enterprises.

With a view of increasing the number of deposits it also wants to develop the saving products and long-term investments.

Two fundamental changes in the Czech legislation force the bank to adjust products and offer. In particular the pension fund and the building saving company are concerned. The change in the status of the pension fund will reflect itself, among other things, in the bank's balance.

Chairman of the General Meeting Mr Pavel Henzl has thanked the Chairman of the Board of Directors Mr Henri Bonnet for his report presented and asked whether there was or is submitted a written request for explanation, proposal, counterproposal or protest relating to this item on the Agenda.

Mr Pavel Henzl then he asked if anyone there presents any oral request for an explanation, or a proposal, counterproposal, or objection to this item on the Agenda. This was not the case.

Chairman of the General Meeting Mr Pavel Henzl noted that according to information of scrutineers, before voting on the proposal which will be presented, the General Meeting constitutes a quorum and is thus competent to adopt resolutions, as shareholders are present at the General Meeting holding shares with a nominal value representing in aggregate 79.28 % of the Registered Capital of the Bank.

Chairman of the General Meeting Mr Pavel Henzl presented a draft resolution as follows:

“Resolution No. 3: The General Meeting approves the Report of the Board of Directors regarding the business activities of the Bank and the state of its assets and liabilities for the year 2011 submitted and presented by the Board of Directors.”

Thereupon the chairman of the General Meeting Mr Pavel Henzl stated that an absolute majority of votes of attending shareholders is required for adoption of the proposed Resolution and subsequently, he called shareholders for splitting of the ballot paper with the serial number of the voting round 3 and subsequent dropping the ballot paper to the ballot box, provided that the green ballot paper is intended to express consent with the proposal, a the red ballot paper for the expression of disagreement with the proposal, and the yellow ballot paper is intended for the case that the shareholder will abstain from voting. At the same time, he asked the scrutineers to take their offices, and to inform him on the termination of collecting the ballots.

After completion of voting, the chairman of the General Meeting Mr Pavel Henzl has read the preliminary results of voting on the Resolution No. 3 expressed as percentage of votes as follows: for the time being 76.610 % of votes of attending shareholders voted for the Resolution.

Thereupon the chairman of the General Meeting Mr Pavel Henzl stated that the Resolution No. 3 has been adopted by the required absolute majority of votes and that the definite result of voting will be communicated to the attending shareholders on closing of the General Meeting and will be included in the Minutes of proceedings of the General Meeting.

The final percentage results of voting on the Resolution No. 3 were announced and read from the monitor by the chairman of the General Meeting Mr Pavel Henzl on closing of the Annual General Meeting as follows: shareholders holding 29,944,116 votes, i.e. 99.997,065 % of the present number of votes cast, voted for the Resolution; shareholders holding 141 votes, i.e. 0,000,471 % of the present number of votes, voted against.

All votes cast were valid.

The document denoted as the Explanatory Report relating to matters pursuant to Section 118 subsection 5 paragraphs a) through k) of Act No. 256/2004 Coll., on Business Activities at the Capital Market, as amended, is given in Exhibit 5 of these Minutes as Document No. 2.

Agenda item 4 - Discussion about the Annual Financial Statements with the proposal for the distribution of profit for the year 2011, and about the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year 2011


Chairman of the General Meeting Mr Pavel Henzl has stated that shareholders have obtained documents No. 3, 4, and 5 and the Annual Report to this item on the Agenda and that voting will be taken within points 7, 8 and 9.

He has further reminded the shareholders that the Annual Financial Statements, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Report on relationships between related entities jointly with other documents had been available for shareholders from 21 March 2012 for inspection in the registered office of the Bank and accessible for download at respective web sites of the Bank. The shareholders have them available today as part of the Annual Report of the Bank. The main data of both the not consolidated and consolidated Financial Statements are part of the Notice of today's General Meeting.

Thereupon the chairman of the General Meeting Mr Pavel Henzl asked Mr Pavel Čejka, Chief Financial Officer, Strategy and Finance, to comment on this item of the Agenda.

Mr Pavel Čejka, Chief Executive Officer, Strategy and Finance, has in turn commented on the presentation screened in front of the meeting hall.

Mr Pavel Čejka stated that the consolidated economic result of Komerční Banka for 2001 showed increase in revenues by 1.2% as against 2010, growth of costs by 6.5% as compared to 2010. The risk cost increase was significant owing to the write-off of the Greek governmental bonds. The Bank's net profit was 9,472 million, down 29% against the net profit of 2010. As far as economic indicators are concerned, the Bank still maintains very sound capital funds and adequacy. As at 31 Dec 2011 the capital measured by TIER 1 ratio was at 13.4%, whereas the overall capital adequacy was 14.6%. The Bank continues to have a very good liquidity position. The loan/deposit ratio was at 77.5% at the end of last year, and it also maintains a very good operating efficiency, whereas despite of slight growth of cost/income ratio, the efficiency is still at a very good level of 41%, which is the level of the most efficient European banks. As to the net operating revenues with an increase by 1.2%, the most dynamic portion of these revenues consist of interest income in particular thanks to a very dynamic growth in volume of loans granted. On the other hand, despite of increase in volume of deposits of clients, owing to a low interest environment and owing to the fact that it is not possible to reinvest these deposits for lower incomes, the interest incomes from deposits slightly decreased. Nevertheless, the overall interest income was up 3.5%. By contrast, fees and provisions were down, which was caused by some one-off items on the one hand, e.g. acceleration of acquisition fees, amortization of acquisition fees in the pension fund, but also owing to the fact that incomes from fees for transactions and incomes from fees for current accounts are on the decrease, because our clients increasingly make use of services, which are covered by lump sum fees, as we grant discounts for activity etc. to our clients. Hence, the overall net incomes grew by the above mentioned 1.2%.

Costs grew 6.5% year-on-year, nevertheless one-off items contribute to this grow, namely profitable sales of real property realised in 2010 or release of several estimated items in 2010. Exclusive of them, the cost growth was about 3%, i.e. roughly 1% above inflation. The risk costs grew in particular due to the already mentioned depreciation of the Greek governmental bonds, on the other hand the risk costs of credit portfolio dropped significantly from 3.1 billion in 2010 to less than 2 billion in 2011.

10


As far as unconsolidated economic results are concerned, trends are much similar: more or less stagnating or slightly decreasing operating incomes, growing operating costs by 5 %, and the already mentioned increase of risk costs. The net unconsolidated profit was down 34 % to the overall result CZK 7,951 million.

Similar trends exist also in performance indicators of unconsolidated economic results, i.e. a very solid capital adequacy, even stronger when looking at the whole group, the still very good liquidity situation and very good efficiency of the whole group and Komerční banka.

As far as proposed profit distribution for 2011, dividends were proposed at CZK 160 per share, i.e. overall dividends at CZK 6,082 billion, which represents dividend distribution ratio at 64 % of the consolidated profit, hence almost five per cent dividend revenue. In opinion of the Bank's management this is a good compromise between maintaining the solid capital funds of Komerční banka and Komerční banka Group and a solid revenue for shareholders and the payment ratio, which is one of the highest among European banks.

As to the development of share prices and dividend paid it can be stated that the price of shares of Komerční banka fell almost by 25 % in 2001, slightly less than the overall Prague Exchange index, which dropped by 25.6 %. As to the value for shareholders – i.e. if we added dividend income to the price of shares, then the overall valuation is at a –19 % level, i.e. significantly better than the Prague Exchange index. For 2012 as of 20 April, the price of shares grew by 2.7 % as against the Prague Exchange index with increase by 1.7 %. With inclusion of the dividend income the income for overall valuation would be at 7.5 % for the first 4 month this year.

The Bank's market capitalization is now somewhere about CZK 130 billion level.

As to the purchase of own shares in 2011, it is a supplementary tool in own capital management and is an alternative to the return of capital to shareholders, i.e. an alternative to dividend distribution. Komerční Banka acquired own shares - treasury stock for CZK 575 million, which was 184,672 shares, in 2011. The average purchase price was CZK 3,114. The Bank has thus acquired almost 0.5 % of its own shares last year and overall it holds 0.63 % in the registered capital.

Chairman of the General Meeting Mr Pavel Henzl thanked Mr Pavel Čejka and asked whether a written request for explanation, a proposal, counterproposal, or objection to this item on the Agenda was submitted and continued noting that written requests were already submitted by shareholder Mr Martin Müller that he read:

Martin Müller has submitted a request for explanation:

1) what is the Bank's exposure in bonds of PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain) countries and when are they due;
2) what is their current market value;
3) what is the amount of adjusting items for individual bonds (in PIIGS countries);
4) whether some of them were sold before maturity;
5) whether it is the intent of the Bank to keep these bonds till they are due, as was earlier declared for the Greek bonds or whether it is considered exposure decrease and their partial or complete sale, and if so, of which ones;

11


6) in what quantity does the Bank plan to create adjusting items for bonds in its holding in 2012, and for which ones;
7) why does the Bank acquire back its treasury stock instead of distributing profit to shareholders through increased dividends payment;
8) whether the Bank plans to buy back its treasury stock in this year, too, and to what extent as compared to 2011;
9) whether the Bank plans to change the declared dividend payment ratio from the company's profit in the next year (in the past, 55-65% of profit was declared for distribution)

Individual questions were replied by the CFO, Strategy & Finance.

In his reply to the first and second question Mr Čejka has said that the exposure towards Portugal is CZK 250 million, due in the first half of 2013 and in the second half of 2014; zero exposure in Ireland; no exposure in Spain; exposure of CZK 7.9 billion in Spain, with market value at CZK 7.6 billion. All of these bonds are in the so-called for sale portfolio; prices of all are then valued by their market value, whereas the revaluation has no impact on the Profit and Loss Account of the Bank but on its capital. As to Greece, the governmental bonds were devalued during 2011, or their depreciation at 75% was considered, so that the book value is approximately CZK 700 million and their market value amounted to CZK 430 million at the end of March.

As to the third question – regarding adjusting items– the devaluation of Greek governmental bonds amounted to CZK 5,355 million in 2011; no other depreciation of other governmental bonds was considered as there was no reason to do so.

In his reply to the fourth question Mr Čejka stated that a minimum quantity of bonds were sold before maturity and the overwhelming majority of bonds are being held till due.

The answer to the fifth question was that Komerční banka continuously considers the correct solution for its and its shareholders exposure. During this year the Bank's management has considered and will continue considering whether it would be expedient to sell some of the governmental bonds.

As to the sixth question – about the volume of adjusting items planned by the Bank for creation in 2012 – Mr Čejka replied that adjusting items or depreciation was not planned as it followed from situation of individual issuers.

The answer to questions under numbers 7 and 8 was that for the Bank the buyout of treasury stock, i.e. its own shares is an alternative to dividend payment; it also means a return of capital to its shareholders.

A proposal is on the Agenda of the General Meeting; the bank wishes to retain this tool, but it is more like an occasional buyout or an acquisition than a specific plan.

In reply to the ninth question Mr Čejka answered that if the basic economic scenario, with which the Bank works this year, i.e. more or less zero economic growth, gross domestic product at zero level or between 0.1 and 0.3%, interest rates at the current low levels and no substantial worsening of risks both in the Czech Republic and in the Eurozone one may assume that the payment ratio between 60 and 70% will be preserved.

The presentation screened in front of the hall relating to the Bank's results and commented upon by Mr Čejka is enclosed in Exhibit 9 of these minutes.
