31 Outlook

NORD/LB expects a challenging business year 2018.

Outlook 2018 Capital NPL shipping portfolio

  • We expect the current business year to be challenging
  • We aim to post positive results for financial year 2018. Priority is to systematically reduce the NPL

portfolio and further strengthen the capital ratios to be prepared for future regulatory requirements, which may have a negative impact on earnings

  • We are exploring various capitalisation models and are in close contact with the EU Commission as well

as the regulators

  • The courses of action under review include the possible participation of external investors and a possible

change to the legal form of the bank

  • We have also started on first talks with potential investors in order to assess market expectations.
  • Together with our owners, we want to present a comprehensive, viable concept by the end of the year

Reduction of the NPL portfolios to below €5bn until end of 2019; non-performing shipping loans amount to €7.7bn as at 30 June 2018

Institutional protection and deposit guarantee schemes of NORD/LB.

Appendix

  • Basic protective measures to avoid bankruptcy
  • The Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR , “Kapitaladäquanzverordnung”) is a EU

regulation in banking containing requirements for capital adequacy under Basel III

  • Institutional Protection Scheme of the Savings Banks Finance Group was founded

in the 1970s

  • Since July 2015 the Institutional Protection Scheme is recognised as a deposit

guarantee scheme under Germany’s Deposit Guarantee Act (EinSiG)

  • 13 guarantee funds: of the Landesbanken (1), of the regional savings banks (11) and of

the building associations (1)

  • Bail-in of shareholders and creditors

 Equity: Tier 1, AT 1, Tier 2, subordinated capital  Liabilities: Senior unsecured and other (structured) liabilities

  • Excluded: i.a. deposits (under Deposit Guarantee Act: up to 100,000€/person), covered

bonds as well as money market instruments

  • The Single Resolution Mechanism (SRM) is augmented by the Single Resolution Fund

(SRF), which can provide the financial resources needed for resolution.

  • European deposit guarantee scheme: The German banking industry defeats the

proposed regulations of the EU commission. There is a compromise proposal from the EU parliament. But it is still quite uncertain, whether this proposal will come into effect.
