Potential problem loans

New regulatory definition of default increased stage 3 loans from 2021

The new definition has not changed the credit risk exposure; hence it has no material effect on losses

The increase in potential problem loans in 2021 is due to exposures that previously exited non-performing status, but are classified as on probation according to the new regulatory definition of default

In Q4 a few exposures went off probation, reducing loans to customers in stage 3
