NORD / LB Annual Report 2011 NORD/LB – roles and responsibilities As a fi nancial institution, NORD/LB fulfi ls a total of four responsibilities: it is a commercial bank, a Landesbank, a central savings bank and a parent company. As a commercial bank, our aim is to offer a comprehensive range of attractive fi nancial services to private, commercial and institutional customers and the public sector in Northern Germany. However, we also operate well beyond this core region. We are involved in structured fi nancing for international projects in selected locations – particularly where energy, infrastructure, industry and real estate are involved. Worldwide, we are represented in ship and aircraft fi nancing and at all the world’s major trading centres, in London and New York as well as in Moscow, Mumbai, Beijing, Shanghai and Singapore. In the federal states of Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt, however, we act as a Landesbank, supporting the states as our owners in their banking business and remaining available to them in regional economic development. Moreover, we advise the government of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania as a partner of the Landesförderinstitut (State Institute for the Advancement of the Economy) and the government of Saxony-Anhalt as a partner of Investitionsbank Sachsen-Anhalt. In these two federal states as well as in Lower Saxony, we are also a partner to all savings banks in our role as the central savings bank. In addition, we offer individual services to other savings banks outside our core region, for example in Schleswig-Holstein. As a clearing bank (Girozentrale), we are there to offer them all the services that they require for their activities. Our goal is to create optimum solutions for customers in the savings bank fi nancial group at all times by exploiting our national and international network within the NORD/LB Group. Finally, all of these areas of business can be found within the NORD/LB Group. As such, we function as a parent company that manages all parts of the group in accordance with our strategic goals, achieves synergies, strengthens our customer divisions and pools our services, both in the Financial Markets division and in fi nancing, in risk management and in organisation and information technology. Our subsidiaries and holdings NORD/LB’s strategic subsidiaries and holdings are a material part of our business model. All business segments are managed in close cooperation throughout the Group.

In the last few years, customers have increasingly begun to refl ect again on what their bank’s most important asset is: reliability, trustworthiness and stability. Here in Lower Saxony, we also like to think that we are storm-proof and have our feet planted fi rmly on the ground. We are proud that, despite the crisis that ravaged the markets in 2011, we received a clear signal from you as our customers and business partners: you trust us and rely on us. Our owners also sent out a strong signal of solidarity with the capital measures required by regulatory provisions. And, not least, our employees demonstrated once again with their expertise, loyalty and sound judgement that they will provide reliable support for our customers even in turbulent times. We would like to thank you for this.
