The above analysis includes a credit tax amount of E 2 from discontinued operations (31.12.2015: deferred tax asset E 25). 
 
During 2016 "Retained earnings" includes deferred tax amounting to E 25 which derives from Purchases)/Redemptions/Sales of
hybrid securities (2015: E 2,122). 
 
During 2016 "Retained earnings" includes a credit tax amounting to E 281 resulting from the share capital increase expenses
which were recognized in the same account when the share capital increase took place in 2015. The respective amount for
2015 was E 17,770. 
 
Furthermore in 2015 "Retained earnings" includes a deferred tax liability of E 6,261, referring to the income tax rate
adjustment on the share capital increase costs which were recorded in the same account in previous years. 
 
12. 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. 
 
b. Diluted 
 
Diluted earnings/(losses) per share are 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 covered by Credit Agricole S.A.,
basic and dilutive earnings/(losses) per share should not differ as the issue price of the ordinary shares will not be less
than their average market price. 
 
It is noted that on 23.2.2017 the Bank increased its share capital due to the conversion of the total amount of the
convertible bond loan, by issuing 6,818,181 new ordinary shares (note 50).

E 3,960,544 received by the Bank as a result of the share capital increase which was completed on 6.6.2013 and a nominal
value of E 284,628 which were transferred to the Bank from the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund for the undertaking of
customer deposits from the former Cooperative Banks of West Macedonia, Evia and Dodecanese in December 2013. 
 
These bonds under the original agreement could only be used as collateral to obtain liquidity from the Eurosystem or from
interbank counterparties in the form of repos. 
 
In April 2016 the subscription agreement between the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), the Hellenic Financial
Stability Fund (HFSF) and the Bank was revised. The revision refers to the terms of use of the above bonds. The revision
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 2016, the Bank conducted sale transactions of EFSF
securities at a nominal value of E 1,583 million, and within 2017 (until 23.1.2017)  at a nominal value of E 140 million.
The total book value of these bonds on 31.12.2016 was E 2,682,655 (31.12.2015: E 4,289,482). 
 
In the context of the implementation of short-term measures for public debt relief, the European Stability Mechanism (ESM),
the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund (HFSF), the Greek State and the
four Greek systemic banks signed a bond exchange agreement in March 2017. Under this contract, floating rate bonds issued
by EFSF and held by the Banks are gradually exchanged with long-term fixed rate bonds issued by EFSF with equal nominal
value, which will be repurchased within one month from EFSF against cash. For the use of long-term fixed rate bonds the
same restrictions apply to these of floating-rate bonds, i.e. they consist eligible instruments for providing financing
from the Eurosystem and the participation of the ECB's bond purchase program (PSPP) and can be pledged as collateral under
repurchase transactions with interbank counterparties.

Investments in material associates and joint ventures 
 
The Group considers as material the associate companies and joint ventures that it participates in, by taking into
consideration the activities of strategic importance carried out, but also the book value of the Group's investments as
well as the loans and receivables that consist part of the Group's net investment in the companies, if any. 
 
On the basis of the above, the associate company AEP Elaionas A.E. and the joint ventures APE Commercial Property A.E. and
APE Investment Property A.E. are considered material. 
 
AEP Elaionas mainly carries out activities relating to building construction and real estate exploitation in general. APE
Commercial Property A.E. carries out activities mainly relating to the management and exploitation of real estate
activities, as well as the acquisition and management of shareholding, while APE Investment Property A.E. activities
relating to the acquisition of securities and any kind of assets in general. The last two are classified as joint ventures,
since, under a contractual agreement, the exercise of control requires a consensus decision of the shareholders. 
 
All the above mentioned companies are established in Greece, are not listed on a regulated market and therefore there is no
official reference regarding their fair value. 
 
Condensed financial information about AEP Elaionas A.E., which is accounted for under the equity method, as presented

Other information for associates and joint ventures and significant restrictions 
 
Apart from the associated companies and the joint ventures that have been classified as Assets Held for Sale and are
accounded for in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5, the rest of the associates and the joint ventures are accounted
for using the equity method. 
 
No cases exist where the Group has stopped recognizing its share in the losses of associates and joint ventures because its
participation has been fully impaired. 
 
The Group has no contingent liabilities regarding its participation in associates or joint ventures. The Bank has
undertaken the obligation to participate in additional investments in the joint venture Alpha TANEO AKES amounting up to
E 0.3 million. Further to this, there are no other unrecognized commitments of the Group relating with its participation in
joint ventures which could result in future cash or other outflows. 
 
No significant restrictions exist on associates or joint ventures to transfer capital in the entity either as dividends or
to repay loans that have been financed by the Group apart from the restrictions imposed by Codified Law 2190/1920 on Greek
companies according to the minimum share capital required, equity and distribution of dividend. Moreover, restrictions
imposed by the adoption of Legislative Act within 2015 exist which refer to cash withdrawals and free capital flows as well
as any ministerial or other decision issued, which apply to all companies operating in Greece.

In 2016, an impairment loss amounting to E 32.2 million, in order for the carrying amount of investment property not to
exceed their recoverable amount as at 31.12.2016, as estimated by certified appraisers. In 2015, an impairment loss
amounted to E 32.3 million. The recoverable amount of investment property which was impaired during the current year
amounted to E 110.2 million (31.12.2015: E 100.1 million) and was calculated as the fair value less costs of disposal. The
fair value of investment property as at 31.12.2016 amounts to E 616.1 million (31.12.2015: E 667 million). The fair value
of investment property is calculated in accordance with the methods mentioned in note 1.8 and are classified, in terms of
fair value hierarchy, in Level 3, since they have made use of research inputs, assumptions and inputs relating to
properties of relevant characteristics and encompass a wide range of non-observable market inputs. The capitalization rate
used ranges between 7.0% and 8.5%. 
 
The additions from companies consolidated for the first time in 2016 and 2015 relate to investment property which were
