Amid these conditions, we closed out the year with a profit, and strengthened the Bank’s foundations even further.

Sincerely yours, Dr. Achim Kassow Spokesman of the Board 006 To Our Shareholders The Share The Share Performance of OLB stock The tsunami and nuclear power plant disaster in Japan, the rating downgrade of the United States, and the escalation of the debt crisis in the euro zone subjected the international stock markets to a number See Glossary, p. 155 of external shocks in 2011. In response, the DAX German stock index proved very volatile over the year, fluctuating nearly 2,500 points. An auspicious first half, with the DAX at roughly 7,500 at midyear, gave way in the second half to substantial price slumps, with lows close to the 5,000 mark in September. Despite a slight recovery at year’s end, the DAX closed out the year down 16 percent, just below 6,000, and was therefore unable to sustain its positive performance from the previous two years. Thus far, however, 2012 has proved substantially better for the index. At the time when this Annual Report was finalized (March 2012), the DAX was up more than 20 percent. German financial securities found the market events of 2011 equally unwelcome, and the stock prices See Glossary, p. 152 of German banks came more than proportionately under pressure. The CDAX Banks industry index, com prising the stock prices of private business banks, closed out the year down about 35 percent from where it had started. OLB stock was unable to escape this adverse trend. It opened the year trading at EUR 37.00, and closed it out at EUR 30.50, only slightly higher than the year’s low of EUR 28.50. At the preparation date of this Annual Report (March 2012), the price had decreased to EUR 27.50. OLB stock has performed better than the industry average in direct comparison with the performance of the banking index over the past five years; nevertheless, its value performance has been negative. Ownership structure Performance of OLB stock compared to CDAX Banks, 2007 – 2012 in % in % Allianz Deutschland AG 64.3 120 OLB-Beteiligungs- 100 25.3 gesellschaft mbH 80 Private investors, 60 including 40 10.4 staff shareholders 20 0 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Through its own direct holdings and indirectly through OLB-Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH, OLB stock (dividends offset) CDAX Banks Allianz Deutschland AG holds about 89.6 percent of Oldenburgische Landesbank AG. The Share To Our Shareholders 007 Ownership structure See chart, p. 006 left The ownership structure of Oldenburgische Landesbank AG comprises Allianz Deutschland AG (64.3 percent), OLBBeteiligungsgesellschaft mbH (25.3 percent), and private investors, including staff shareholders (10.4 percent).
