The Bank will distribute free shares to approximately 4.700 junior-level employees of the Bank based on the performance and the positive contribution each person had and is expected to have on the Bank’s results, as proposed by the Board following the recommendations of the Remuneration Committee.

According to the AGM’s decision, the number of shares to be distributed to each junior-level employee will not exceed 250.
As a result of the above mentioned share capital increase, article 5 of the Bank’s Articles of Association dealing with its share capital will be amended. The Bank’s share capital will amount to €2,431,261,126.25 divided into 884,094,955 registered shares, of nominal value €2.75 each, comprising (a) 538,594,955 ordinary voting shares and (b) 345,500,000 non-voting preference shares.
