Gains less losses on financial transactions of the nine month period were mainly affected by Visa Europe's acquisition
transaction from Visa Inc and the valuation of the Group's subsidiary "Ionian Hotel Enterprises A.E." due to its
classification as held for sale. In more detail:
On June 21, 2016, Visa Inc. completed the acquisition of Visa Europe. According to the contract (as amended on 10.5.2016),
the date of completion of the transaction, Visa Inc. purchased from Visa Europe's members shares they held in their
capacity as members. The price for this acquisition consists of:
i. The payment of a total amount of E 12.25 billion upon completion of the transaction.
ii. The distribution of preferred shares.
iii. The payment of the amount of E 1 billion on the third anniversary of the closing of the transaction plus interest.
The calculation of the transaction price was based on Visa Europe's net revenue contributed by each member for a specific
period of time.
In this context, during the second quarter of the current period, the Group recognized as financial results from shares the
amount of E 55.6 million which consists of the cash received at the closing of the transaction and the recognition of the
present value of the receivable from collecting the additional amount on the third anniversary.
In addition, the Group recognized during the year the preference shares of Visa Inc. acquired in connection with the
transaction. These shares, which were classified as available for sale portfolio, were recognized at a fair value of E 16.3
million by crediting gains less losses on financial transactions.
"Other financial instruments" includes a loss from Ionian Hotel Enterprises A.E. valuation of E 37.9 million (note 25).

Specific cost categories are presented increased compared to the corresponding amounts of the comparative period which was
influenced by the bank holiday, with more significant impact identified in marketing and advertisement expenses and the
services' charges from collection agencies. However, the total amount of general administrative expenses is declining
mainly because the comparative period was burdened by extraordinary contribution on the reorganization of the Greek credit
institutions and merger costs related mainly to maintenance of computer applications.
Regarding the regulatory framework governing the resolution of credit institutions, the following is noted:
On 23.7.2015 under Law 4335/2015, the European Directive 2014/59 was incorporated into Greek Law to establish a framework
for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment entities. In particular, the Resolution Scheme of
Hellenic Deposit and Investment Guarantee Fund (HDIGF) is defined as the National Resolution Fund which within ten years
(until 31 December 2024) should gradually, create a reserve equal to at least 1% of the deposits guaranteed by the HDIGF.
From 1.1.2016, the Single Resolution Mechanism (SRM) is responsible for the resolution of credit institutions established
in country-member states of the Eurozone. It operates in cooperation with the Single Resolution Fund (SRF), which will
cover the resolution costs of non-sustainable credit institutions.
With Law 4370/2016, the Directive 2014/49 / EU of the European Parliament and the Decision of the Council of 16 April 2014
was incorporated into Greek law which enacts the same rules for all Deposit Guarantee Schemes (DGS).
The Single Resolution Board, determined that the 2016 contribution for credit institutions may provide irrevocable payment
commitments amounting up to 15% of their total obligation which for the Bank amounts to E21 million. These irrevocable
payment commitments have to be fully covered by cash collateral. On 20.5.2016, the Bank signed a contract with the Single
Resolution Board to provide irrevocable payment commitment and established the necessary cash collateral for the 2016
contribution.
4. Impairment losses and provisions to cover credit risk

30.9.2016 30.9.2015 30.9.2016 30.9.2015

Total 861,952 2,357,333 257,124 258,491
In the nine month period, impairment losses on loans have been significantly burdened from the recognition of losses
associated with corporate loans restructuring and the increase in impairment losses in specific retail portfolios which
will contribute to the optimal management of non-performing loans.
Respectively, the nine month period of 2015 was affected by significant impairment losses, after taking into consideration
the special ecomonic and microeconomic conditions that existed in the Greek from 30.6.2015 and onwards and affected the
values of the parameters taken into account in the impairment test and the expected cash flows of customers operating in
economy sectors that have been adversely affected.
5. Income tax
In accordance with Article 1 par 4 of Law 4334/2015 "Urgent prerequisites for the negotiation and conclusion of an
agreement with the European Stability Mechanism (ESM)" the corporate income tax rate for legal entities increased from 26%
to 29%. The increased rate will apply for profits arising in fiscal years commencing on or after 1 January 2015 without the
law explicitly defining regarding the retrospective application of income tax rate for profits of fiscal year 2014 and they
have been incorporated into the results of the nine month period of 2015, as shown in the tables below.
For the Bank's subsidiaries and branches operating in other countries, the applicable nominal tax rates for accounting
periods 2015 and 2016 are as follows:
Cyprus 12.5
Bulgaria 10
Serbia 15
Romania 16
FYROM 10
Albania 15
Jersey 10
United Kingdom 20* (from 1.4.2015)
In accordance with article 65A of Law 4174/2013, from 2011, the statutory auditors and audit firms conducting statutory
audits to a Societe Anonyme (S.A.), are obliged to issue an Annual Tax Certificate on the compliance on tax issues. This
tax certificate is submitted to the entity being audited within the first ten days of the seventh month after the end of
the audited financial year, as well as, electronically to the Ministry of Finance, no later than the end of the seventh
month after the end of the audited financial year. For fiscal years 2011 up to 2015 the Bank and its local subsidiaries
have obtained the relevant tax certificate without any qualifications on the tax issues covered. In accordance with article
56 of Law 4410/3.8.2016 for the fiscal years from 1.1.2016 and onwards, the issuance of tax certificate is rendered
optional.

According to article 5 of Law 4303/17.10.2014 "Ratification of the Legislative Act "Emergency legislation to replenish the
General Secretary of Revenue due to early termination of his service" (A 136) and other provisions", deferred tax assets of
legal entities supervised by the Bank of Greece, under article 26 paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 of Law 4172/2013 that have been or
will be recognized and are due to the debit difference arising from the PSI and the accumulated provisions and other
general losses due to credit risk, with respect to existing amounts up to 31 December 2014, are considered final and
settled claims against the State, if, the accounting result for the period, after taxes, is a loss based on the audited and
approved financial statements by the Ordinary Shareholders' General Meeting.
The inclusion in the Law is implemented by the General Meeting of Shareholders related to tax assets from 2016 onwards and
refers to the fiscal year 2015 and onwards, whereas it is envisaged the end of inclusion in the Law with the same procedure
and after obtaining relevant approval from the Regulatory Authority.
According to article 4 of Law 4340/1.11.2015 "Recapitalization of financial institutions and other provisions of the

During the nine month period of 2016, "Retained earnings" include a credit tax amount of E281 which derives from the share
capital increase expenses which were recognized in the same account and relates to the share capital increase which took
place during 2015.
In addition, during the same period, "Retained earnings" include deferred tax asset amount of E24 which derives from
(Purchases)/(Redemptions)/ Sales of hybrid securities. The respective amount for the nine month period of 2015 was E296
(deferred tax asset).
It should be noted that in the nine month period of 2015, in the account "Retained Earnings", a deferred tax liability
amounting to E6,261 was recognized, resulting from the change of income tax rate to the share capital increase expenses
recognized in the same account in previous years.
6. Earnings/(losses) per share
a. Basic
Basic earnings/(losses) per share are calculated by dividing the profit/(losses) after income tax attributable to ordinary
equity owners of the Bank, by the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares, after deducting the weighted
average number of treasury shares held by the Bank during the period.
For the calculation of basic earnings/(losses) per share, profit or loss for the period is adjusted with the deduction of
the after-tax amount of dividends of those preference shares that have been classified in equity. The after-tax amount of
preference dividends that is deducted is:
i. The after-tax amount of any dividends of preference shares on non-cumulative dividend preference shares declared for
distribution during the year and
ii. The after-tax amount of the dividends from preference shares for cumulative dividend preference shares required for the
period, regardless of whether the dividends have been approved.
b. Diluted
Diluted earnings/(losses) per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
to the presumed conversion amount of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Bank does not have any dilutive potential
ordinary shares and in addition, based on the issuance terms of the convertible bond loan with Credit Agricole S.A., basic
and dilutive earnings/(losses) per share should not differ.

The weighted average number of the ordinary shares as at 30.9.2015, has been retrospectively restated from the beginning of
the year, after the decrease of the total number of shares due to the merger in proportion of 50 voting common shares of
old nominal value to 1 voting common share of new nominal value which took place on November 2015.

states that the Bank may participate with the EFSF bonds in the purchase programme for the bonds issued by central
governments, special bodies-securities issuers and European supranational institutions of the Eurozone (Public Sector
Purchase Programme - PSPP) conducted by ECB. According to the ECB's decision, a total up to 50% of each EFSF issue can be
purchased until the completion of the program in March 2017. During the nine month period of 2016, the Bank conducted sale
transactions of EFSF securities at a nominal value of E905 million, in the context of the PSPP program. The total book
