2016 Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process - Update

The Group announced the outcome of the 2016 Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process ("SREP") on 13 December 2016. The announcement detailed the Group's SREP capital requirement set by the European Central Bank which will be effective from 1 January 2017.

The Group disclosed that the CET 1 ratio of 9.2% consisted of a Pillar 1 Capital Requirements Regulation ("CRR") requirement of 4.50%, a Pillar 2 Requirement ("P2R") of 3.45% and a Capital Conservation Buffer ("CCB") of 1.25%. Pillar 2 Guidance ("P2G") was not publicly disclosed at that time under the advice of the European Central Bank.

However, noting the disclosure of P2G by another European bank recently, the Group feels obliged to disclose its P2G for the benefit of shareholders. In that context, P2G for the Group is set at 2.25% effective from 1 January 2017 to be held in the form of Common Equity Tier 1 capital.

Along with the SREP capital requirements, Pillar 2 Guidance is also subject to annual review.
