In addition, sales-repayments of foreign corporate bonds amounting to E 7.9 million and other securities amounting to E 0.5
million took place. 
 
Regarding derivative financial assets, a transfer from Level 2 to Level 3 occurred since the use of non-observable inputs
was significant. 
 
Finally within 2015 the convertible bond loan was transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 as a different valuation method was
applied.

23. Capital adequacy 
 
The Bank's policy is to maintain a robust capital base to safeguard the Bank's development and retain the trust of
depositors, shareholders, markets and business partners. 
 
Share capital increases are performed after Shareholders' General Meeting or Board of Directors' decisions in accordance
with the articles of association or the relevant laws. 
 
Treasury shares are allowed to be purchased based on the terms and conditions of law. 
 
The capital adequacy is supervised by Single Supervising Mechanism of ECB, to which reports are submitted on a quarterly
basis. The minimum requirements regarding Tier I ratio and the capital adequacy ratio of the Bank are stipulated by Bank of
Greece Governor's Acts. 
 
Capital adequacy ratio compares regulatory capital with the risks assumed by the Bank (risk-weighted assets). Regulatory
capital includes Tier I capital (share capital, reserves and non-controlling interests), additional Tier I capital (hybrid
securities) and Tier II capital (subordinated debt). Risk-weighted assets include the credit risk of the investment
portfolio, the market risk of the trading portfolio and operational risk. 
 
Since January 1, 2014 EU Directive 2013/36/EU dated 26 June 2013 incorporated into Law 4261/2014 along with the EU
Regulation 575/2013/EU, dated 26 June 2013 "CRD IV" came into force which gradually introduce the new capital adequacy
framework (Basel III) for credit institutions. 
 
According to the above regulatory framework, for the calculation of capital adequacy ratio the effective transitional
arrangements are followed. 
 
Moreover: 
 
•   besides the 8% Capital Adequacy Limit, there are limits of 4.5% for Common Equity ratio and 6% for Tier I ratio, and 
 
•   is required the maintenance of capital buffers additional to the Common Equity Capital, from 01.01.2016 and gradually
until 31.12.2019. 
 
In particular: 
 
•   from 1.1.2016 a capital buffer of 0.625% exists which will gradually rise to 2.5% on 31.12.2019. 
 
•   The Bank of Greece through the acts issued by the Executive Committee settled the following capital buffers: 
 
-   Countercyclical capital buffer rate for the first nine months of 2016, "zero percent" (Act 55/18.12.2015, 83/18.03.2016
& 97/16.6.2016). 
 
-   Other systemically important institutions (O-SII) buffer for 2016 "zero percent" (Act 56/18.12.2015). 
 
These limits should be met both on a standalone and on a consolidated basis.

25. Assets held for sale and discontinued operations 
 
The Bank, under the approved by the European Committee Restructuring Plan (note 39 of the financial statements as of
31.12.2015) and the fulfillment of the relevant commitment relating to the deleveraging of part of the assets of its
international activities, proceeded to the sale of the operations of the Bulgaria Branch and Alpha Bank AD Skopje as well
as it began the process for the sale of APE Fixed Assets AE, APE Commercial Property AE and APE Investment Property AE. 
 
  
 
  
 
Bank's branch in Bulgaria 
 
On 17.7.2015, the Bank and Eurobank, issued a joint statement, announcing their agreement, in main terms, for the transfer
of operations of the Bulgaria branch to Eurobank's subsidiary in Bulgaria (PostBank). On 6.11.2015 the Bank and Postbank
signed the relevant contract, finalizing the terms of the transfer which include a transfer price of 1 Euro and a partial
undertaking of Branch's debt obligations by the buyer. The transfer was completed on 1.3.2016. 
 
From 30.6.2015 the assets of Bulgaria Branch, and its directly related liabilities, met the qualification requirements as
"Held for sale" in accordance with IFRS 5, as at that date the management had decided to sell the unit and was already in
the process of negotiations with the prospective buyer. In addition, the Bulgaria Branch is considered a separate
geographical area of operations for the Bank which is included in the South Eastern Europe for information purposes per
operating segment. After the classification of the Bulgarian Branch, which is the only company in the banking sector
whereby the Bank operates in Bulgaria, as asset held for sale, its activities are classified as "discontinued operations"
by the Bank. 
 
Therefore, on 31.12.2015 for reporting purposes, the Bank valued the assets and liabilities of Bulgaria Branch at the
lowest price between the book value and fair value less selling costs recognizing the difference which was amounted to
E 34,007 as loss in the caption "Profit/(loss) after tax income from discontinued operations" in the Income Statement. It
is noted that the valuation difference at fair value is different from the amount of E 85,500 that was recognized during
the second and the third quarter of 2015, based on the final terms of the sale, as reflected at the contract of 6.11.2015.
After the above valuation, the assets of the Branch as at 31.12.2015 amounted to E 444,401 and the liabilities of the
Branch amounted to E 338,820.

The following table presents the results of the Bulgaria Branch for the period from 1.1.2016 to the disposal date. It is
noted that the results and cash flows arising from the Bulgaria Branch are presented as "discontinued operations" in both

Investment in subsidiary Alpha Bank AD Skopje 
 
The Bank, during the fourth quarter of 2015, began the process of selling its subsidiary Alpha Bank Skopje (ABS).  ABS is
the smallest subsidiary of the Group in the Balkans and it has a small presence in the local market in Skopje (market share
<2%). As part of this process, investors, which were shortlisted from a broader investor list, were invited to submit their
bids for the acquisition of the 100% of the ABS shares and of the 100% of the hybrid instrument (subordinated loan) granted
to the ABS by the parent company (both of them consist the "Perimeter Transaction"). The disposal was completed on
10.5.2016 for a total amount of E 3.2 million. 
 
On 31.12.2015 the Bank's participation in the subsidiary and the hybrid instrument satisfy the conditions for
classification as "held for sale" in accordance with IFRS 5. 
 
Therefore, for the preparation of 31.12.2015 financial statements the participation in the subsidiary company and the
hybrid instrument was valued at the lower of book and fair value less cost of sale, recognizing the difference amounted to
E 28,553 as a loss in gains less losses on financial transactions. The fair value was determined based on the financial
bids which were received from the potential investors for the Perimeter of the Transaction and the assessment of the Bank
for the final consideration. The final consideration does not differ from the fair value determined. 
 
Investment in companies APE Fixed Assets ΑΕ, APE Commercial Property ΑΕ, APE Investment Property AE 
 
Sale consultants were engaged in June of the current year and the liquidation procedure of the Bank's participations in APE
Fixed Assets AE, APE Commercial Property AE and APE Investment Property AE began. APE Fixed Assets AE is a Bank's
subsidiary, while APE Commercial Property AE and APE Investment Property AE are joint ventures, where the control is
exercised jointly by the Bank and the other shareholder. 
 
From 30.6.2016 the abovementioned investments meet the requirements to be classified as "held for sale" in accordance with
IFRS 5, due to the fact that on that date the Management had decided their sale, had initiated an active programme to find
buyer and the sale is expected to be completed within one year. 
 
According to IFRS 5 the assets held for sale or disposal groups are valued at the lower of book and fair value less cost of
sale and they are presented in the balance sheet separately from other assets and liabilities. The Bank proceeded to the
measurement of the fair value of the participation as well as of loans and receivables from these companies which consist a
part of its net investment.  From the abovementioned measurement on 30.6.2016 losses amounting to E29.36 million arose due
to the fact that the fair value of assets held for sale was lower than the book value and they were recognized in caption
Gains less losses on financial transactions in the Income Statement. 
 
In the table below an analysis of the specific assets regarding APE Fixed Assets AE, APE Commercial Property AE and APE
Investment Property AE which are presented in the Balance Sheet as assets held for sale, is depicted. 
 
                                                             30.6.2016  
 Loans and advances to customers                             47,570     
 Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures  69,530     
 Total assets held for sale                                  117,100    
 
 
  
 
In addition, the Bank has classified in Assets held for sale, its participation to the companies SELONDA A.E.G.E. and
NIREUS A.E.G.E since it intends to transfer these companies in the near future. The fair value of these companies was
determined in the amount of E 1. 
 
The Bank at each reporting date assesses the actions taken within the context of the implementations of the restructuring
plan in order assets and liabilities that are directly associated with them to be classified as held for sale when the
criteria of IFRS 5 (which are presented in note 1.16 of the 31.12.2015 financial statements) are met. 
 
26. Merger of Company Diners Club Greece Α.Ε.P.P.

28. Restatement of financial statements 
 
During the current period the Bank modified the way of presentation of figures related to the loyalty bonus card program.
These figures, which up to now were included in other expenses, other income and commissions are now included as a net
amount in commission income. This modification is performed in order to reflect better the substance of the reward program.
As a result of this change, some figures of the income statement of the comparative period reformed without changing the
result, as presented in the following table:
