Raiffeisen Bank International AG / Key word(s): Miscellaneous 07.12.2016 20:33 Disclosure of an inside information according to Article 17 MAR, transmitted by DGAP - a service of EQS Group AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vienna, 7 December 2016. Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI) and Alior Bank S.A. have not reached an agreement with regard to the sale of the core banking operations of Raiffeisen Bank Polska S.A. and have ended the sales negotiations. The sale of Raiffeisen Bank Polska was part of the transformation program to strengthen regulatory capital ratios, which was announced in February 2015. It is aimed to achieve a CET1 ratio (fully loaded) of at least 12 per cent and a total capital ratio (fully loaded) of at least 16 per cent by the end of 2017. As a result of the measures already implemented, the CET1 ratio (fully loaded) for RBI amounted to 12.3 per cent as at 30 September 2016 and for the Combined Bank comprising Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich AG (RZB) and RBI it amounted to 11.3 per cent pro forma. Taking profit from the third quarter of 2016 as well as effects from the concluded sale of Raiffeisen Leasing Polska into account, these ratios would be around 13 per cent and 11.9 per cent respectively (both unaudited). Therefore, RBI expects to achieve its CET1 ratio (fully loaded) objective of at least 12 per cent without any extraordinary measures by the end of 2017.
