My presentation : - I will pretend that you are equity investors, whom I am meeting for the first time and my purpose is to put Aktia Bank Plc on your radarscreen. That means that, being a Finnish mid-cap company = European microcap company, liquidity in our share doesn t allow any large investor to take a short term approach in owning our share! You have to be patient both buying and selling our share. 3

What are the Basel III, II and I Basel I is the round of deliberations by central bankers from around the world, and in 1988, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) in Basel, Switzerland, published a set of minimum capital requirements for banks. This is also known as the 1988 Basel Accord, and was enforced by law in the Group of Ten (G-10) countries in 1992. A new set of rules known as Basel II was later developed with the intent to supersede the Basel I accords. However they were criticized by some for allowing banks to take on additional types of risk, which was considered part of the cause of the US subprime financial crisis that started in 2008. Basel III was developed in response to the financial crisis; it does not supersede either Basel I or II but focuses on different issues primarily related to the risk of a bank run. 8.11.2016 30

Capital requirement for credit risk Capital requirement for credit risk is based on risk weights The higher the credit risk, higher the risk weight is Basel III framework includes two alternative methods for calculating risk weights The Standardised Approach: All similar exposures have the same risk weight The Internal Ratings Based Approach: Risk weight is based on bank s internal risk estimates (EAD, PD, LGD) IRBA parameters: Exposure At Default (EAD) = Loan amount ( ) Probability of Default (PD) = How likely the counterparty will default, i.e. is not be able to pay back the loan, during the next 12 months (%) Loss Given Default (LGD) = How much losses bank suffers in case of a default (%) For more see: http://www.bis.org/publ/bcbs128.htm http://www.bis.org/bcbs/irbriskweight.htm 8.11.2016 32

Solvency I and Solvency II The solvency ratio of an insurance company is the size of its capital relative to all risks it has taken Different countries all had their own regulatory rules on how much capital was needed need for harmonization in the EU Solvency I is the name given to changes to the EU's insurer solvency regime made in 2002 and implemented 1.1.2004 good first step but didn t address certain risks enough (especially interest rate risk of liabilities) need for more comprehensive rules Solvency II is an EU legislative program to be implemented in all 28 Member States, including the UK. It introduces a new, harmonized EU-wide insurance regulatory regime. The legislation replaces 14 existing EU insurance directives. Solvency II started 1.1.2016

Outlook for 2016 (unchanged) The continued low interest rates have a negative impact on Aktia s net interest income, and the increased uncertainty on the capital markets makes it challenging to reach the same level of growth in commission income as in 2015. Write-downs on credits are expected to remain low in 2016. Aktia s operating profit for 2016 is expected to reach an approximately similar level as in 2015. 52
