1. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE BANK

Based on the license issued by the National Bank of Yugoslavia no. O 38 dated 27 February 1991 and the Decision on the Establish- ment of Depozitno-kreditna banka d.d. Beograd no. 1/5 dated 14 May 1991, Depozitno-kreditna banka a.d. Beograd, Novi Beograd, Goce Delčeva 44, was registered with the District Commercial Court of Belgrade, under Decision no. Fi-5709/91 dated 22 May 1991 (registry card no. 1-18332-00).

For harmonization of the Bank’s bylaws and enactments with the Law on and Other Financial Organizations (Official Gazette of FRY No. 32/93) the founders of Depozitno-kreditna banka a.d. Beograd executed the Articles of Association of Depozitno - kreditna banka a.d. Beograd no. 563 dated 20 April 1995.

Under the Decision of the Commercial Court in Belgrade No. XII-Fi. 10865/02 dated 27 September 2002, based on the share sale and purchase transaction performed with the existing shareholders of Depozitno-kreditna banka a.d.

Beograd and the change registered under the same Court’s Decision no IX Fi. 12210/02 dated 28 October 2002.

Upon takeover of shares of Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank a.d.

Beograd – in bankruptcy).

At its session held on 24 March 2011, the Shareholder Assembly of Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank a.d.

Beograd, on 27 March 2014, in the Central Securities Depository and Clearing House, the shares of the issuer Hypo Alpe-Adria- Bank a.d. Beograd were transferred from the account of Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank International AG Klagenfurt to the account of the acquirer Hypo SEE Holding AG Klagenfurt, corporate ID No. FN 350921, Alpen-Adria-Platz 1, Klagenfurt.

On 30 October 2014 Hypo SEE Holding AG changed its name to Hypo Group Alpe Adria AG.

Al Lake Luxembourg S.A.R.L. was, at the acquisition date, owned by Al Lake Management S.A.R.L., Luxembourg.

On 8 July 2016, under Decision of the Commercial Court in no. FN 350921k, Hypo Group Alpe Adria AG (HGAA) changed its legal name to Addiko Bank AG (ABH), headquartered at the address of Wipplingerstrasse 34/4 Vienna, .

On 8 July 2016, under Decision of the Serbian Business Registers Agency no. BD 55080/2016, Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank a.d. Beograd changed its legal name to Addiko Bank a.d. Beograd (the Bank).

BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOUNTING METHOD

2.1 Basis of Preparation and Presentation of the Financial Statements

The Bank’s stand-alone financial statements (hereinafter: the “financial statements”) for 2020 have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and regulations of the National Bank of Serbia governing financial re- porting of banks.

Legal entities and entrepreneurs incorporated in Serbia are required to maintain their books of account, to recognise and value assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and to present, submit and disclose financial statements in conformity with the Law on Accounting (hereinafter referred to as the Law, Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia Nos. 62/2013, 30/2018 and 73/2019). As a large legal entity, in accordance with the Law on Accounting, the Bank is required to apply the International Financial Re- porting Standards (IFRS), which as per the aforementioned law comprise the following: the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (the Framework), International Accounting Standards (IAS), International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as well as the related interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and additional amendments to the standards and related interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), the translations of which to the Serbian language were approved and published by the competent Ministry of Finance. In addition, in accordance with the Amendments and Supplements to the Law on Banks (Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia No. 14/2015), upon preparation of the annual financial statements, banks in the Republic of Serbia are obligated to apply the International Financial Reporting Standards, subsequent revisions and amendments thereto and related interpretations as from their issue date by the relevant international authority (IASB).

The accompanying financial statements are presented in the format prescribed under the Decision on the Forms and Contents of the Items in the Forms of the Financial Statements of Banks (RS Official Gazette no. 101/2017, 38/2018 and 103/2018).

These financial statements were prepared according to the historical cost principle, except for the measurement of the following significant balance sheet items:

• Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income - debt securities,

• Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss - derivatives.

Historical cost is based on the fair value of contributions initially paid in exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using other valuation techniques. Upon estimating the fair value of assets or liabilities, the Bank takes into account characteristics of assets or liabilities that other market participants would also consider upon determining the price of assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in the accompanying financial statements was determined in the aforesaid manner, except for leasing transactions, which were measured according to IFRS 16, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as the net realisable value in IAS 2 or value in use in IAS 36.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

• Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

In the preparation of the accompanying financial statements, the Bank adhered to the accounting policies described in Note 3.

The Bank’s financial statements are stated in thousands of dinars. The dinar (RSD) is the official currency of the Republic of Serbia. 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOUNTING METHOD (Continued)

2.1 Basis of Preparation and Presentation of the Financial Statements (Continued)

Going Concern

The Bank’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, assuming that the Bank will continue to operate in the foreseeable future.

2.2. New Standards and Interpretations Effective for the Current Reporting Period

The following new amendments to existing standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) became effec- tive in the current reporting period:

• Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting The IASB issued the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting on 29 March 2018. The Conceptual Framework sets out a comprehensive set of concepts for financial reporting, standard setting, guidance for preparers in developing consistent accounting policies and assistance to others in their efforts to understand and interpret the standards. IASB also issued a separate accompanying document, Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards, which sets out the amendments to affected standards in order to update references to the revised Conceptual Framework. Its objective is to support transition to the revised Conceptual Framework for companies that develop accounting policies using the Conceptual Framework when no IFRS Standard applies to a particular transaction. For preparers who develop accounting policies based on the Conceptual Framework, it is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020.

• IFRS 3: Business Combinations (Amendments) The IASB issued amendments in Definition of a Business (Amendments to IFRS 3) aimed at resolving the difficulties that arise when an entity determines whether it has acquired a business or a group of assets. The Amendments are effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is in the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and to asset acquisitions that occur on or after the beginning of that period, with earlier application permitted.

• IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Defi- nition of ‘material’ (Amendments) The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 with earlier application permitted. The Amendments clarify the definition of material and how it should be applied. The new definition states that, ’Informa- tion is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial infor- mation about a specific reporting entity’. In addition, the explanations accompanying the definition have been improved. The Amendments also ensure that the definition of material is consistent across all IFRS Standards.

• Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 (Amendments) In September 2019, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7, which concludes phase one of its work to respond to the effects of Interbank Offered Rates (IBOR) reform on financial reporting. The amendments published, deal with issues affecting financial reporting in the period before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark with an alternative interest rate and address the implications for specific hedge accounting requirements in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, which require forward-looking analysis. The amendments provide temporary reliefs, applicable to all hedging relationships that are directly affected by the interest rate benchmark reform, which enable hedge accounting to continue during the period of uncertainty before the replace- ment of an existing interest rate benchmark with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate. There are also amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures regarding additional disclosures around uncertainty arising from the interest rate benchmark reform. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and must be applied retrospectively. Phase two (ED) focuses on issues that could affect financial reporting when an existing interest rate benchmark is replaced with a risk-free interest rate (an RFR).

The adoption of the aforesaid new and amended standards did not result in significant changes of financial statements of the Bank. 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOUNTING METHOD (Continued)

2.3. New Standards and Amendments to the Existing Standards in Issue not yet effective

At the date of approval of these financial statements, the following new standards, amendments to the existing standards and new interpretations were in issue but not yet effective:

• Amendment in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture

The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28, in deal- ing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary. In December 2015 the IASB postponed the effective date of this amendment indefinitely pending the outcome of its research project on the equity method of accounting.

• IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments)

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 with earlier application permitted. However, the IASB has proposed deferral of the effective date by 1 January 2023. The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current or non-current. The amendments affect the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and do not change existing require- ments around measurement or timing of recognition of any asset, liability, income or expenses, nor the information that entities disclose about those items. Also, the amendments clarify the classification requirements for debt which may be settled by the company issuing own equity instruments.

• IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets as well as Annual Improvements 2018-2020 (Amendments)

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 with earlier application permitted. The IASB has issued narrow-scope amendments to the IFRS Standards as follows:

 IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Amendments) update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations.

 IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (Amendments) prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognise such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.

 IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (Amendments) specify which costs a company in- cludes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether a contract is onerous.

 Annual Improvements 2018-2020 make minor amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and the Illustrative Examples accompanying IFRS 16 Leases.

• IFRS 16 Leases-Cοvid 19 Related Rent Concessions (Amendment)

The amendment applies, retrospectively, to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020. Earlier application is permitted, including in financial statements not yet authorized for issue at 28 May 2020. IASB amended the standard to provide relief to lessees from applying IFRS 16 guidance on lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic. The amendment provides a practical expedient for the lessee to account for any change in lease payments resulting from the covid-19 related rent concession the same way it would account for the change under IFRS 16, if the change was not a lease modification, only if all of the following conditions are met:

 The change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change.

 Any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021.

 There is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOUNTING METHOD (Continued)

2.3. New Standards and Amendments to the Existing Standards in Issue not yet Effective (Continued)

• Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 – IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 (Amendments)

In August 2020, the IASB published Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2, Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16, completing its work in response to IBOR reform. The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR). In particular, the amendments provide for a practical expedient when accounting for changes in the basis for de- termining the contractual cash flows of financial assets and liabilities, to require the effective interest rate to be adjusted, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest. Also, the amendments introduce reliefs from discontinuing hedge relationships including a temporary relief from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instru- ment is designated as a hedge of a risk component. Furthermore, the amendments to IFRS 4 are designed to allow insurers who are still applying IAS 39 to obtain the same reliefs as those provided by the amendments made to IFRS 9. There are also amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of interest rate benchmark reform on an entity’s financial instruments and risk management strategy. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021 with earlier application permitted. While application is retrospective, an entity is not required to restate prior periods.

The management of the Bank has opted for not adopting the aforesaid new standards, amendments to the existing standards and new interpretations prior to their coming into effect. The management anticipates that the adoption of the new standards, amendments of the existing standards and new interpretations will not materially impact the financial statements of the Bank.

2.4. Comparative Information Comparative information in the accompanying financial statements comprise data from the Bank’s financial statements for 2019, audited by the auditing company Deloitte.

The accounting policies and estimates referring to the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities, used in preparation of these financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies and estimates applied in the preparation of the Bank’s annual financial statements for 2020.

2.5. Statement of Compliance

The Bank’s accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Stan- dards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

2.6. Use of Estimates

Preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Bank’s management to make the best possible esti- mates and reasonable assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as income and expenses. Actual amounts of the assets and liabilities may vary from these estimates.

2.7. Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The declaration of the global pandemic of COVID-19 by the World Health Organisation in March 2020 was followed by not only an intense health crisis, but significant changes to the global economy and economies of individual countries as well. The im- posed measures of isolation and social distancing resulted in a decrease of volume and, in certain cases, complete interruption of the economic activity of certain industries. In turn, this resulted in acceleration of mass digitalisation of financial institutions and a shift to a new operational model implying more remote network channels for rendering services to clients.

In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank undertook all measures necessary for protecting health and safety of its employees, clients and business partners. All business activities are carried out in line with measures aiming at preventing the virus spread and states of emergency declared in Group member-countries. Accordingly, all client services may be rendered both online and via an active branch network, providing for smooth communication with all Bank clients. 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOUNTING METHOD (Continued) 2.7.Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic (Continued)

In the course of 2020, the Government of the Republic of Serbia and the National Bank of Serbia (NBS) introduced comprehensive measures of fiscal and monetary policy aiming at mitigating the negative effects. In order to support the Serbian financial sector and real economy, the NBS relieved its monetary policy and introduced additional measures, contributing to the preservation of price and financial stability, efficient functioning of the money market and preservation of credit activity, and consequently significantly alleviating negative effects of the pandemic to the real flows and creating preconditions for sooner recovery. From the pandemic breakout, the key policy rate was lowered four times by the total of 1.25 pp and at 2020 year-end, it stood at the lowest level of the inflation targeting regime of 1%. This resulted in more favourable conditions for corporate and retail lending in dinars by 0.8 pp on average relative to 2019 year-end, while additional narrowing of the NBS main interest rates corridor from ± 1.25 pp to ±0.9 pp increased the efficiency of the monetary policy transmission mechanism. The measures of direct repo oper- ations, swap auctions and bilateral purchase of dinar t-bonds from banks also contributed to efficient functioning of the banking system by ensuring increased dinar and foreign exchange liquidity. The mitigation of the negative effects of the crisis was largely induced by the moratorium in repayment of loans for all clients who accepted the moratorium which lasted for 90 days in the first instance and 60 days in the second instance. In December 2020, a measure of relieves in repayment of liabilities implying the obligation of banks to reschedule and refinance loans with a 6-month grace period and consequently extend repayment terms with monthly liabilities of clients not exceeding the liabilities under initial repayment schedules was introduced. Within measures for preserving corporate liquidity, a guarantee scheme for liquidity and working capital loans was established, providing for the continuation and growth of the credit activity and implying approval of new loans or renewal of existing loans for micro clients, SMEs, entrepreneurs and registered farms.

The Bank considered the COVID-19 pandemic impact upon preparation of the financial statements as at 31 December 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic impact resulted in the implementation of additional judgements and inclusion of pandemic-specific assess- ments and assumptions.

Considerations of the Bank’s management regarding the COVID-19 pandemic impact, including assessments and assumptions, to certain financial statement items are provided below:

Loans and Receivables

The Bank offered a number of measures for supporting clients affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, such as the moratorium and liquidity and working capital loans with a guarantee scheme. The moratorium measures were compliant with the NBS decisions, implying a moratorium of 90 days, followed by a moratorium of 60 days with the resulting extension of terms of lending. Further- more, the NBS introduced conditions for the third moratoria which became effective in mid-December. The table below shows the usage percentages for all 3 moratoriums:

Moratorium 1 Moratorium 2 Moratorium 3 Corporate clients 27.88% 48.20% 0.34% Private individuals 74.76% 58.46% 0.99%

Moratorium 1 Moratorium 2 Moratorium 3 Number of Number of Number of clients in RSD ’000 client in RSD ’000 clients in RSD ’000 Corporate clients 1,034 22,332,594 962 19,426,216 13 17,288 Private indi- viduals 43,642 29,042,205 35,732 25,296,441 604 670,660

The effects of the Decision on Temporary Measures for Preserving Financial System Stability, implying the moratorium of repay- ment of liabilities of clients (moratoria I and II), to the present value of cash flows of affected financial assets were recorded in financial statements at the amount of RSD 177,543 thousand, in line with the Group accounting policies and instructions of the parent bank.

The largest effect to the calculation of the ECL reflected through changes of stage for clients operating in industries most affected by the pandemic to Stage 2 and adjusted PD for macroeconomic expectations involving the COVID-19 pandemic impact. 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOUNTING METHOD (Continued) 2.7. Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic (Continued)

Non-Financial Assets

Responsible departments in the Bank monitored the development of the situation and evaluated effects of the pandemic on the value of non-financial assets, based on information considered as reasonable and acceptable as at 31 December 2020, they may be subject to changes which are not currently foreseeable, resulting from the movement of parameters used for the evaluations. Regardless of the aforesaid, the management of the Bank will continue monitoring potential effects which may occur in order to be able to undertake adequate steps for avoiding negative impact to the operation of the Bank.

2.8. Going Concern From the current standpoint, the COVID-19 pandemic did have a significant impact to the operation of the Bank. Moreover, as at the present reporting date, the Bank continues to settle its liabilities in line with their maturities, thus continuing to implement the going concern principle.

The main indicators of the Bank’s financial statements being compliant with the going concern principle are the following:

• Liquidity – the Bank monitors its liquidity position continually - on a daily basis. The COVID-19 pandemic and/or moratorium did not impact the Bank’s liquidity position. Throughout 2020, the liquidity ratios were significantly above the regulatory limits. Furthermore, all liquidity ratios of the Bank are above the regulatory limits, as shown in Note 4.

• Equity – the Bank’s equity position is stable, resulting also in high capital adequacy ratio, as shown in Note 4.

• Reserves and profit – the Bank’s equity represents 22.43% of the total assets, whereas the reserves and profit represent 2.18% of the total assets.

In view of the aforesaid, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, implying that the Bank will con- tinue to operate for an unlimited period in the foreseeable future.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.1. Recognition of Income and Expenses The Bank recognises income when it can be measured reliably, when it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the Bank and when special criteria for each of the Bank’s activities are met, as set out below.

3.2. Interest Income and Expenses The Bank earns interest income and incurs interest expenses through its operations with the National Bank of Serbia, domestic and foreign banks and legal entities (corporate clients) and private individuals (retail clients).

Interest income and expenses including default interest and other income and other expenses from interest bearing assets, i.e., liabilities, are recognized as per ‘matching principle’ (on an accrual basis) under obligatory terms defined by a contract concluded between the Bank and a client. Interest income and expenses are determined on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate, which is defined upon initial recognition of a financial asset/liability.

For all financial assets measured at amortised cost, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and financial assets not held for trading and measured at fair value through profit or loss, interest income and interest expenses are recorded using the effective interest method.

Amortised cost is the amount at which a financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition, less the payment of the principle amount, plus/minus cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method and any difference between the initial amount and amount at maturity. For financial assets, the amount is adjusted for any loss. The gross carrying amount of the financial assets is the amortised value of the financial assets prior to adjustment for any losses. For purchased or originated credit impaired (POCI) financial assets, the credit-adjusted effective interest rate is used to reduce the estimated future cash flows, including expected credit losses on the amortised cost of debt instruments at initial recognition. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.2. Interest Income and Expenses (Continued) The effective interest rate is the rate the precisely discounts the estimated future cash inflows and outflows over the expected lifetime of the financial asset, or a shorter period as appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset, unless the instrument is a POCI asset or a financial liability at amortised cost. The calculation includes transaction costs and fees paid, which are an integral part of the effective interest rate (unless the financial asset is measured at fair value through profit or loss), pre- miums or rebates. Expected credit losses are disregarded.

For financial assets which are subsequently credit-impaired, interest income is recognised using the effective interest rate on the amortised cost of the asset (the net carrying value). If, in the following reporting period, the credit risk of an impaired financial asset improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset (except for POCI assets, whereby the interest income is not based on the gross value, even if the asset’s credit risk improves).

Interest income on assets held for trading, and the interest components of derivatives are shown within the line item of ‘interest income’. Changes in the fair value only arising from assets and liabilities held for trading are shown within the ‘net gains/losses from changes in the fair value of financial instruments’.

Negative interest from financial assets and financial liabilities is shown in the line item of ‘net interest income’. The Bank earned negative interest of 0.1% on deposits received and it did not pay negative interest on deposits placed.

In line with IFRS 16, interest expenses are calculated based on the effective interest method and decreased during lease term. Interest expenses are shown within the item ‘interest expenses’.

The Bank realises income/(expenses) from fees for servicing the approved loans/(received borrowings).

Such fee income is deferred by applying the effective interest rate throughout the loan period and it is recognized within the interest income.

3.3. Fee and Commission Income and Expenses Fee and commission income and expenses (except those which are an integral part of the effective interest rate applicable to a financial asset or liability) are included in the effective interest rate and are calculated in line with IFRS 15 – “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” - and are recorded under the item ‘net fee and commissions income’.

Fees for rendered services during a specified time period are calculated for the said period. These fees include loan fees which are not an integral part of the effective interest rate of a financial instrument, guarantee fees, asset management commissions, cus- tody and other fees and commissions relating to management and consultant services, and fees for insurance brokerage activities in FX transactions. In contrast, fees earned from providing transaction services to third parties, such as organising acquisitions of shares or other securities or purchases/sales of entities, are recognised upon completion of each such transaction.

3.4. Dividend Income Dividend income is recognised when the Bank’s entitlement to receive dividend is established. Dividends are recognised in profit and loss only in the following instances:

- if the Bank’s right to the payment of dividend has been established,

- if it is likely that the Bank will achieve economic benefits connected with dividend, and

- if the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.

3.5. Foreign Currency Translation Items included in the Bank’s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Bank operates (functional currency). As stated in Note 2.1, the Bank’s financial statements are expressed in thousands of dinars (RSD). Dinar is the Bank’s functional and presentation currency.

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into dinars at the official middle exchange rates determined at the interbank foreign exchange market and effective at the date of each transaction or the measurement date, if the items are remeasured. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.5. Foreign Currency Translation (Continued) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into dinars at the official middle exchange rates determined at the interbank foreign exchange market prevailing as of that date (Note 36).

Foreign exchange positive or negative effects arising upon such transactions and the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year-end are credited or charged to the income statement as foreign exchange gains or losses (Note 8).

Gains or losses realised/incurred upon translation of financial assets and liabilities with a currency clause index are recorded with- in the income statements as foreign exchange gains or losses and positive or negative currency clause effects (Note 8).

3.6. Financial Instruments

3.6.1 Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Based on the entity’s business model and cash flow features, IFRS 9 defines three basic categories for the classification of financial assets at the date of initial recognition:

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified based on one of the following measurement methods:

1) at amortised cost (AC),

2) at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVtOCI) or

3) at fair value through profit or loss (FVtPL).

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it is not designated as FVtPL and meets the following criteria:

• the objective of the business model is holding the assets for the purpose of collecting the contractual cash flows, and

• the contractual provisions of a financial assets give rise to the cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on outstanding principal on specified future dates.

A debt instrument is measured at FVtOCI only if it meets both of the following criteria and if it is not designated as FVtPL:

• the objective of the business model is holding the assets for the purpose of collecting the contractual cash flows and for sale, and

• the contractual provisions of a financial assets give rise to the cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on outstanding principal on specified future dates.

Debt instruments held for the purpose of collecting the contractual cash flows and sale consist of treasury bills and bonds of the Republic of Serbia.

Upon initial recognition of equity instruments not held for trading, the Bank may irrevocably elect to present subsequent adjust- ments of their fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), at the level of a specific equity instrument.

Financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value increased by transaction costs that may be directly attributable to these assets (IFRS 9.5.1). Loans and receivables are recognised when cash is advanced to borrowers. The fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is most often the transaction price, i.e., the fair value of the consideration given or received (IFRS 9.B5.1.2A and IFRS 13). However, if the given or received consideration differs from that which is recognised as a financial instrument, the Bank will measure the instrument at fair value. For example, the fair value of non-interest bearing, long-term loans or receivables may be measured at the present value of all future cash proceeds discounted by applying the prevailing mar- ket interest rates applicable to similar instruments with similar borrower credit capabilities. Each subsequent borrowed amount is an expense or decrease of income, unless qualifying for recognition as another type of asset.

For equity investments that are not held for trading, the Bank may irrevocably elect to classify the instruments at FVtOCI at initial recognition, with all subsequent changes in fair value being recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI). This classification may be applied to each separate investment. Throughout 2020, the Bank did not have such instruments in its portfolio. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.6. Financial Instruments (Continued)

3.6.1 Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Continued)

The classification and measurement requirements for financial liabilities are only slightly changed compared to IAS 39. Changes to the fair value of liabilities resulting from changes in the liability’s own credit risk are recognised in the other comprehensive income, while the remaining amount of the change in the fair value will be shown through the profit or loss.

3.6.1.2 Business Model Assessment

All financial assets should be classified into one of the business models provided below. Also, at initial recognition, it must be de- termined whether or not SPPI contractual cash flows exist for each asset (SPPI test). Thereafter, the financial assets are classified into one of the following business model categories:

• Holding financial assets to collect contractual cash flows (“hold-to-collect” model);

• Holding financial assets to collect contractual cash flows and for sale (“hold-to-collect-and-sell” model);

• Other business models - financial assets held for trading or assets that do not meet one of the above said criteria.

In a rare case that an entity may change the model it applies to the management of certain financial assets, reclassification of all assets to which the adjustment applies would be required.

Contractual Cash Flow Characteristics

To assess whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI), the ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as a charge for the time value of money (TVM), for credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g., liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI), the Bank considered the con- tractual terms of the instruments and analysed the existing portfolio based on an SPPI criteria checklist. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows so that it would not meet this condition, considering the following: contingent events that would change the amount and timing of cash flows, leverage features, prepayment and extension terms, terms that limit the Bank’s claim to cash flows from specified assets and features that modify consideration for the time value of money.

Special attention during the analysis was paid to the unilateral changes in margins and interest rates, prepayments clauses, other contingent payments, project financing and benchmark tests. Compliance with the SPPI test was assessed in the following manner:

• In assessing unilateral changes to margins and interest rates, the Bank concluded that the transfer of costs associated with the underlying loan contract, clauses drafted in order to maintain a stable profit margin, and adjustments to the interest rate reflected deterioration of the credit rating; however, these are not harmful in terms of SPPI tests.

• Clauses referring to early loan repayment are not harmful, as long as the prepaid amount reflects the unpaid principal, interest and compensation for the early repayment of the loan. Such consideration must be less than the loss incurred from the interest margin and loss incurred from interest.

• Other contingent payments are typically clauses referring to other business transactions. Consideration for failure to fulfil the obligations represents increased costs of risk monitoring or compensation for profit losses tied to a causal event.

• Project financing is assessed in terms of whether or not a correlation exists with the performance of the project in question. Should no such link exist but the borrower possesses sufficient capital for the project necessary to absorb losses before the said losses affect the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, the said project may pass the SPPI test.

• Loans with variable interest rates may include mismatch of interest features. In order to assess whether or not the time value of money (TVM) has been significantly modified, a quantitative benchmark test should be conducted. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.6. Financial Instruments (Continued)

3.6.1 Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Continued)

3.6.1.2 Business Model Assessment (Continued)

When performing a benchmark test upon initial recognition, the contractual non-discounted cash flows of the financial instrument are compared to the cash flows per the benchmark which would have arisen if the TVM had not been modified. The effect of mod- ifying TVM is considered in each reporting period and cumulatively throughout the financial instrument’s lifetime. The benchmark test is based on a range of reasonable scenarios. An acceptable comparative financial instrument is one of equal credit quality and with the same contractual terms, except those for modification.

Should the entity come to the realisation that the contractual (non-discounted) cash flows may significantly vary (threshold of 10%) from the (non-discounted) cash flows per the benchmark test, the financial asset does not fulfil the criteria defined in IFRS 9, Article 4.1.2 (b) or 4.1.2A (b) and cannot be therefore measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Upon transition to IFRS 9, there were no financial instruments with identified interest mismatch, which would lead to the mea- surement of the said financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVtPL). Considering that the Bank’s internal policies on new product approval define the obligation of SPPI test compliance, a significant number of financial instruments with the aforementioned features is not expected.

Assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVtPL) are financial assets not measured at amortised cost nor are they debt instruments measured at FVtOCI, which in particularly include:

• other business models;

• financial assets for which contractual provisions do not meet the criteria resulting in cash flows, which represent solely the pay- ments of principal and interest on outstanding principal at specified future dates;

• financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVtPL) upon initial recognition;

• equity instruments; and

• derivatives.

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition include the following sub-categories:

• financial assets held for trading;

• financial assets designated as measured through profit and loss upon initial recognition; and

• financial assets for which measurement at fair value through profit and loss is mandatory.

Financial assets held for trading consist of the following items:

• acquired or generated mainly for short-term sale or repurchase;

• upon initial recognition, a portion is the portfolio of set financial instruments which are managed jointly and for which there is evidence of recently acquired short-term gains; or

• in case of a derivative instrument (except a derivative instrument which is a financial surety contract or designated/actual risk hedging instrument).

At initial recognition, the Bank may irrevocably elect to measure financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (fair value option) if this removes or significantly reduces inconsistencies in measuring or recognising (sometimes referred to as an ‘account- ing mismatch’) which would otherwise occur due to the measurement of assets and recognising gains and losses relative to such assets on various bases.

Financial assets for which measurement at fair value through profit and loss is mandatory consist of financial assets which do not meet the SPPI criterion.

Gains and losses arising from financial assets measured at fair value is recognised in the income statement except in the following cases:

• for investment in an equity instrument and if the option to present gains and losses arising from such an investment in other comprehensive income has been chosen; and

• for financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.6. Financial Instruments (Continued)

3.6.1 Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Continued)

3.6.1.2 Business Model Assessment (Continued)

In case of a modification of the business model for managing financial assets, such financial assets will be reclassified. Reclassi- fication is conducted prospectively, from the reclassification date, i.e., as at the first date of the subsequent accounting period, without adjustments to the previously recognised profit/loss and interest.

Fair value of financial instruments traded on an active market at the reporting date are based on the quoted market bid (financial assets) or asking prices (financial liabilities). If a market for a financial asset is not active, the Bank determines the asset’s fair value using valuation techniques. These include comparison with most recent similar transactions performed at arms’ length, anal- ysis of discounted cash flows and other valuation techniques used by the market participants. Assessment models reflect current market situation as at the valuation date and may not be indicative of market conditions prior or after valuation date. As at the reporting date, the Bank’s management revised the models in order to ensure that they adequately reflect the current market conditions, including relative market liquidity and interest margins.

3.6.1.3 Derecognition and Contract Modification

Financial assets are derecognised when:

The contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset have expired; or when the Bank has transferred its right to cash flows from assets or has assumed payment obligations of the cash flows in full without significant delays on behalf of a third party within ‘pass-through’ contracts; and/or when

(i) the Bank has transferred substantially all risks and benefits associated with the ownership over the asset,

(ii) the Bank has neither transferred nor retained substantially all risks and benefits associated with the ownership over the asset, but has transferred control over the asset.

Contractual adjustments arising from renegotiations with borrowers may result in two types of changes to the initial contractual cash flows.

If contractual cash flows of financial assets are renegotiated or substantially modified, this will result in derecognition (due to the expiration the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset) of the financial asset, in line with IFRS 9. The new financial asset is recognised, under the modified conditions, while the difference between the amortised cost of the financial asset which is derecognised and fair value of the new asset is presented through profit and loss as a modification gain/loss.

If the modification is not substantial, changes to the contractual provisions do not result in derecognition of the financial asset.

The analysis of contracts and changes, which are an integral part of the modifications, has shown that the Bank did not have any financial effects of the modifications, either material or immaterial.

Insignificant Modifications Not Resulting in Derecognition of a FinancialAsset

If the agreed cash flows of a financial asset are modified in a way that does not result in derecognition of such financial asset, in line with IFRS 9, it is necessary to recalculate the gross carrying amount of the financial asset based on the modified contractual cash flows using the original effective interest rate for discounting. Gains or losses arising from the modification are recognised in the income statement.

Significant Modifications Resulting in Derecognition of a FinancialAsset

If the agreed cash flows of a financial asset are significantly modified, this results in the derecognition (due to the expiry of con- tractual rights to the cash flows) of the said financial asset in line with IFRS 9. A new financial asset with adjusted terms is rec- ognised and the difference between the amortised cost of the financial asset which is derecognised and the fair value of the new financial asset are presented in the income statement. If the borrower is not in default, or if the significant modification does not result in the default status, then a new asset will be classified in Stage 1. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.6. Financial Instruments (Continued)

3.6.1 Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Continued)

Significant Modifications Resulting in Derecognition of a FinancialAsset (Continued)

If the borrower is in default, or if the significant modification results in the default status, then the new asset will be treated as a purchased or originated credit impaired financial asset (POCI). In case of POCI financial assets, expected credit losses during the lifetime of a financial instrument are included in credit-adjusted effective interest rate at initial recognition.

The following criteria are recognised as significant modifications:

Quantitative - significant adjustments to the contractual cash flows when the present value of the cash flows according to the new terms is discounted by applying the original effective interest rate and varies from the discounted carrying value of the original financial instrument by at least 10%.

Qualitative, including the following:

• change of borrower,

• change of currency,

• change of financing purpose,

• SPPI critical features have been removed from or included in a new loan contract.

Thereafter, the amount of the change in the lifetime expected credit loss since the initial recognition of POCI financial assets should be recognised as a gain or loss from impairment in the income statement.

3.6.1.4 Impairment of Financial Instruments

The Bank’s assets exposed to credit risk, in keeping with the National Bank of Serbia’s Decision on the Classification of Bank Balance Sheet Assets and Off-balance Sheet Items (RS Official Gazette no. 94/2011, 57/2012, 123/2012, 43/2013, 113/2013, 135/2014, 25/2015, 38/2015, 61/2016, 69/2016, 91/2016, 101/2017, 114/2017, 103/2018 and 8/2019) consist of loans, interest, fees, deposits placed with other banks and advances and other balance sheet items per which the Bank is exposed to credit risk as well as the off-balance sheet exposure items: issued guarantees, other sureties, unsecured letters of credit and approved but undrawn loans as well as other off-balance sheet items which represent contingent liabilities of the Bank.

Allowance for impairment and provisions for impairment for expected credit losses are recognised for the following exposures:

- financial assets measured at amortised cost (AC), and

- financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVtOCI).

The Bank reports allowance for impairment of exposures at amortised cost in the profit and loss within the expenses of the period for which the expected loss is determined as well as on the balance sheet, recorded under allowance for impairment of balance sheet exposures. Amounts recognised as expected credit losses, arising from off-balance sheet liabilities, are recognised as ex- penses for the period in which the loss has been identified, and on the balance sheet under provisions. The manner of calculating impairment of financial assets is described within the IFRS 9 impairment methodology.

Allowance for impairment of financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is carried out by applying the expected credit loss model whereby allowance for impairment is recognised in the profit or loss, as well as in other compre- hensive income, without decreasing the value of the asset itself within the balance sheet.

In applying the ECL model, which also takes into account information on future events, the Bank recognises expected losses as of each reporting date in order to reflect the credit risk adjustments of a given financial asset. Impairment of financial assets through the ECL model is based on historical, present and forecast future events and therefore takes into account various scenarios that envisage events which may result in future credit losses.

According to IFRS 9, lifetime expected credit losses are calculated as the expected present value of credit losses incurred should borrowers fail to fulfil their obligations within the specified timeframe over the entire lifetime of the financial instrument with parallel consideration of the probability of default (PD) as well as loss given default (LGD). 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.6. Financial Instruments (Continued)

3.6.1 Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Continued)

3.6.1.5 Calculation of Expected Credit Losses

Expected loss is defined as the difference between the cash flows that are due to the Bank in accordance with the contractual terms of a financial instrument and the cash flows that the Bank expects to receive (considering probabilities of default and expected recoveries). Although this requirement is introduced by IFRS 9, the standard does not prescribe detailed methods and techniques to be applied.

When establishing cash flows the Bank expects to receive, the Bank applies the marginal loss approach, whereby the total expect- ed loss is calculated as the sum of marginal losses incurred at any moment, starting from the reporting date. Marginal losses arise from individual parameters which are used to estimate exposures and losses in the event of default and conditional probability of default for each period. Lifetime expected credit losses are calculated separately for different scenarios taking into account current and forecast forward-looking information. The total expected credit losses under individual scenarios are eventually prob- ability-weighted. The Bank considers three scenarios: the base line, optimistic and pessimistic scenarios and some less favourable scenarios are at times simulated in order to understand the dynamics and potential portfolio-specific risks.

3.6.1.6 Derivatives

This category includes two sub-categories of financial assets: financial assets held for trading and those designated at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they have been acquired for sale purposes or re-purchase within a short period, for the purpose of generating profit from short-term price fluctuations. These assets are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value. Financial assets held for trading also include financial derivatives.

All realised or unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the market value of these assets, i.e. adjusted to fair value, are recorded on the income side, i.e. against the expense side.

The Bank is in possession financial derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting. At year-end the Bank had re- ceivables and liabilities per short-term foreign currency swaps (FX-swaps).

Derivatives, including FX forward contracts, FX swaps and other derived financial instruments, are initially recognised at fair value within the off-balance sheet items on the contract execution date and are subsequently remeasured at fair value.

Derivatives are initially recognised at the moment when derivative contract has been agreed with the counterparty (date of agree- ment). The notional amount of principal to which the respective derivative is agreed is recorded as an off-balance sheet item, while the initial positive or negative fair value of the derivative is carried within assets or liabilities. The initial recognition of fair value is executed only if the market price of the same or a similar derivative can be found in the organised derivatives market, and if it differs from the price at which that derivative has been agreed by the Bank.

Information on the fair value is acquired at the market and includes information on recent market transactions or it is determined by the method of discounted cash flows.

All derivatives are recognised as assets when the fair value change is positive, i.e., as liabilities when negative. The best source of estimation of the fair value of derivatives on initial recognition is transaction price (i.e. the fair value of consideration given or received).

3.6.2 Off-Setting of Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the difference between their sums is recognised in the balance sheet, (statement of financial position) when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts, and when there is an intention to perform settlement on a net basis, or to simultaneously sell the asset and settle the liability. 3.

3.6.3 Cash and Balances Held with the Central Bank Cash and cash balances held with the central bank include cash funds in the local (RSD) and foreign currencies, i.e., cash balances on gyro and current accounts, vault cash and other cash funds in the local (RSD) and foreign currencies, gold and other precious metals, liquid asset surpluses deposited with the National Bank of Serbia and foreign currency required reserve funds held on the special accounts with the National Bank of Serbia. Cash and cash balances held with the central Bank are carried at amortised cost in the statement of financial position. These funds are held for the settlement of current cash liabilities rather than investment or other purposes.

The breakdown of cash and cash balances held with the central bank is provided in Note 16.

Deposits and other financial liabilities due to banks, other financial institutions and the central bank and deposits and other fi- nancial liabilities due to other customers are initially recognised at fair value, decreased by incurred transaction costs, except for financial liabilities recognised at fair value through profit and loss. After initial recognition, the said financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, by applying the effective interest rate.

Within this item, the liabilities per borrowings are initially recognised at fair value decreased by incurred transaction costs and are subsequently recognised at amortised cost.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Bank has the unconditional right to settle such liabilities within at least 12 months following the balance sheet date.

3.7. Reserves for Estimated Losses on Bank Balance Sheet Assets and Off-Balance Sheet Items The required reserve for estimated losses on balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items is calculated in accordance with the relevant internal bylaws and the National Bank of Serbia’s Decision on the Classification of Bank Balance Sheet Assets and Off-bal- ance Sheet Items (RS Official Gazette no 94/2011, 57/2012, 123/2012, 43/2013, 113/2013, 35/2014, 38/2015, 61/2016, 69/2016, 91/2016, 101/2017,114/2017, 103/2018 and 8/2019). The same is determined for reporting purposes to National Bank of Serbia.

In assessing credit risk in line with the Methodology, the Bank considers the borrower’s financial position in terms of: profit sta- bility, maturity matching of certain asset and liability features, adequacy of cash flows, indebtedness, leverage, liquidity ratios, interest liability coverage and profitability.

In addition to the financial indicators, an important element of the assessment of the borrower’s risk category is timeliness in material liability settlement toward the Bank for the past 12 months and at the reporting date. Material liability amount equals to 1% of the individual receivable due from the borrower, however not below RSD 10,000 for corporate clients and RSD 1,000 for entrepreneurs, agricultural producers and private individuals, respectively.

The basic borrower classification is independent of the collateral obtained.

Due to collateral quality assessment, a receivable due from the borrower may be classified in a category different from the basic borrower classification. According to their quality, collaterals are divided into first-class and adequate collaterals.

First-class collaterals trigger category A classification of receivables, while adequate collaterals place receivables into a category more favourable (one up) than the category as per basic classification of borrowers.

The Bank classifies aggregate receivables due from a borrower into categories A, B, V, G and D based on the timeliness/delay in liability settlement criterion, as well as based on the assessment of the borrower’s creditworthiness and collateral quality.

In accordance with the classification of receivables and pursuant to the aforesaid NBS Decision, the amount of the required reserve for estimated losses under different categories is calculated by applying the following percentages: A (0%), B (2%), V (15%), G (30%) and D (100%).

The Bank is obligated to determine the amount of the required reserve for estimated losses, which is calculated as the sum of all the positive differences between the reserve for estimated losses computed in accordance with NBS Decision and the determined impairment allowances for balance sheet assets and provisions per off-balance sheet items at the individual borrower level. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.8. Intangible Assets, Property, Plant and Equipment and Investment Property a) ntangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of software, licenses and investments in progress. Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and aggregate impairment losses, if any.

Separately acquired trademarks and licenses are stated at historical cost. Trademarks and licenses have finite useful lives and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate and write down the cost of trademarks and licenses over their estimated useful lives.

Intangible assets are regularly written down during the year (and these amounts are charged to operating expenses) through the calculation of amortisation over their estimated useful life – 7 years for the Bank’s core information system and 5 years for other software. The residual value and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted when necessary, at each reporting date.

Expenditures relating to the development or maintenance of the software applications are recognised as expenses, as incurred.

Intangible assets also include investments in software which are not amortised since they are still not in use.

The types of cost that may be capitalised in accordance with IAS 38 are:

• salaries, wages and other employment related costs in the process of bringing the assets in the operating condition; • professional fees directly incurred in the process of bringing the assets in the operating condition; and • costs of testing the proper functioning of the assets.

The said costs represent an example of typical costs that may be capitalised but the range of costs to be capitalised can also in- clude costs meeting the following criteria:

• they are directly attributable to the relevant asset; and • they are incurred with relation to the preparation of the asset for its intended use.

Capitalisation of costs which are included in the cost of software will no longer be applied once the relevant asset is in the ap- propriate condition to be used for intended purpose. This means that once the software achieves sufficient and intend level of functionally and it can readily be used, cost capitalisation will cease. b) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and aggregate impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquired asset.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or are recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying value of the replaced asset is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the in- come statement of the financial period in which they are incurred.

Derecognition of property, plant and equipment occurs when they are sold or when the Bank no longer expects future economic benefit from their use. All gains and losses arising on derecognition of assets (calculated as the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying value of the asset) are recognised in profit and loss for the year of derecognition. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.8. Intangible Assets, Property, Plant and Equipment and Investment Property (Continued) Land is not depreciated. Depreciation of assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Assets Depreciation rate (%) in 2020 Depreciation rate (%) in 2019 Buildings 1.87% - 2.24% 1.87% - 2.24% Computer equipment 25.00% 25.00% Furniture 11.00% 11.00% Vehicles 15.50% 15.50% Other equipment 10% - 33.33% 10% - 33.33%

When determining the basis for depreciation, the cost or revalued amount is not decreased by the amount of the residual value since after the expiry of the useful life of a fixed asset it is assessed as equal to zero.

Calculation of depreciation of property, plant and equipment commences at the beginning of the month following the month of the asset’s placement into use. Investments in progress are not depreciated. Depreciation charge is recognised within expenses for the period when incurred.

The residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. If higher than its estimated recoverable amount, an asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable value.

Gains and losses arising on disposal or sales of property and equipment are credited or charged to the income statement as a part of other operating income or other operating expenses.

Depreciation for tax purposes is calculated in accordance with the Corporate Income Tax Law of the Republic of Serbia and the Rules on the Manner of Classification of Fixed Assets into Groups and Manner of Determining Depreciation for Tax Purposes, result- ing in deferred taxes (Note 15). c) Investment Property

Investment property is a type of property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both.

Investment property is recognised at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Calculation of depreciation of investment property commences at the beginning of the month following the month of the asset’s placement into use. Depreciation charge is recognised within expenses for the period when incurred.

Investment property is depreciated at the rate of 2.5% p.a. using the straight-line depreciation method. The residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each reporting date.

Subsequent costs are capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with them willfl ow to the Bank and the cost can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. d) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

Non-financial assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested for impairment on an annual basis.

Assets that are subject to depreciation/amortisation are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised in the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. Non-financial assets that have suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

Fair value measurement and impairment of the Bank’s intangible assets are disclosed in Note 21. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.9. Leases Since 1 January 2019, the Bank has applied IFRS 16 whereby it recorded assets and liabilities for long-term leases of business premises and automobiles in line with the standard. In accordance with IFRS 16, the lease expenses in respect of such leases are classified into the interest expenses and depreciation charge, as disclosed in Notes 5 and 13.

Pursuant to IFRS 16, a lease contract conveys to the lessee the right to use certain assets if the following two criteria are met:

• the lessee will realise actual economic benefits from the use of identified assets during the period of use (the lessee has the exclusive right to use the asset); and

• the lessee is entitled to making decisions on how the asset will be used during the period of use.

In 2020, the Bank rented business premises for performance of its business activity, automobiles, warehouse and spaces for ATMs.

In accordance with IFRS 16, the Bank recorded short-term leases and leases with low-value underlying assets within rental costs, as well as the costs relating to such leases and taxes payable in this respect, as disclosed in Note 14.

As the lessor, the Bank leases parts of its business premises, and thus earns rental income, as stated in Note 9.

3.10. Foreclosed Assets

According to the Bank’s policy, the Bank assesses whether an asset acquired in lieu of debt collection is suitable for the Bank’s internal business operations or it is to be sold. Assets determined as appropriate for the Bank’s own use are classified within the relevant asset line item and measured at the lower of the asset’s cost and the carrying value of the underlying receivable.

3.11. Non-Current Assets Held for Sale Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is recovered predominantly through a sale transaction and the sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continued use. This condition is considered fulfilled if the sale is highly probable and when such an asset (or a dis- posal group) is available for immediate sale in its current condition. Management must be committed to the action plan for the sale in order for the asset to fulfil the recognition criteria and the sale is expected to be completed within a year from the initial classification.

3.12. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets Provision is a liability uncertain in terms of both maturity and amount. Provisions are recognised:

• when the Bank has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;

• when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and

• when a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as provision represents the best estimate of the expense required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date.

Provisions are monitored per type and can be used only for the expenses for which they were initially recognized.

Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. In instances of a number of similar liabilities, probability that their settlement will require an outflow of resources is determined at the level of the liability category as a whole. Provisions are rec- ognized even if the probability for any of the liabilities within the same category is remote.

Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements. They are disclosed in notes to the financial statements (Note 35). 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.12. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (Continued) Contingent liabilities are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine the probability of an outflow of economic resources. Where a probable resource outflow will be required in the future for items previously recognised as contingent liabilities, provisions are recognised in the financial statements for the period in which a change occurred to the probability of event occurrence.

Provisions for contingent liabilities are separately calculated for:

- approved yet undrawn loans, - payment and performance guarantees issued, - unsecured letters of credit, and - other forms of sureties where payments may be required. Credit risk exposure – exposure at default (EaD) for contingent liabilities is equal to the portion of the risk exposure that is expect- ed to be used at the time of default.

The Bank does not recognise contingent assets in the financial statements. Contingent assets are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when the inflow of economic benefit is probable.

3.13. Employee Benefits

(а) Employee Social Security Taxes and Contributions

In line with the regulatory requirements of the Republic of Serbia, the Bank is obligated to pay contributions to tax authorities and to various state social security funds. These obligations involve the payment of taxes and contributions on behalf of the employee, by the employer, in the amounts calculated by applying the specific, legally prescribed rates. The Bank is also legally obligated to withhold contributions from gross salaries to employees, and on behalf of its employees, to transfer the withheld portions directly to government funds. The Bank has no legal obligation to pay further benefits to its employees that are due from the Pension Insurance Fund of the Republic of Serbia.

(b) Other Employee Benefits – Retirement Benefits

In accordance with the Labour Law and the Rules of Procedure, the Bank is under obligation to pay its vesting employees retire- ment benefits in the amount of two average monthly salaries of the vesting employee as at the payment date, but not below two average monthly salaries paid by the Bank as at the payment date or the two average monthly salaries paid in the Republic of Serbia according to the most recent data published by the Republic of Serbia Statistical Office, whichever arrangement is most favourable for the retiree.

The entitlement to these benefits is usually conditioned by the employee remaining in the service up to the age limit for retire- ment and until completion of the minimum prescribed years of service. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued over the period of employment.

Provisions for retirement benefits are made based on the independent actuary’s report and stated at the present value of the expected future payments. Inputs for the calculation of these provisions are presented in Note 28.

(c) Provisions for Termination Benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the regular retirement date, or whenever an employ- ee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for those benefits. The Bank recognises termination benefits when it is explicitly committed to either: terminating the employment of current employees according to an adopted plan without the possibility of withdrawal; or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy aimed at decreasing the number of employees.

Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the balance sheet date are discounted to their present value.

The costs of the defined post-employment benefits to employees and/or retirement benefits upon fulfilling the legal retirement criteria are determined based on the actuarial assessment. An actuarial assessment includes an assessment of the discount rate, future salary trends, mortality rates and employee turnover rate. Due to the long-term nature of these plans, significant uncer- tainties influence these assessments. Additional information in this respect are disclosed in Note 28 to the financial statements. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.13. Employee Benefits (Continued) d) Profit Sharing and Bonuses

The Bank recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to its shareholders after certain adjustments. The Bank recognises a provision in instances of contractual or constructive obligations.

3.14. Equity

Equity consists of share capital (ordinary shares), share premium, reserves and retained earnings/accumulated losses.

Dividends on shares are recorded as liabilities in the period in which the relevant decision on their payment was rendered. Divi- dends approved for the year after the reporting date are disclosed in the note on the events after the reporting period.

3.14.1 Share Capital

Ordinary (common stock) shares are classified as equity.

Where the Bank purchases its own share capital, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the equity owners until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, less any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the equity owners. The Bank did not repurchase its own shares.

3.14.2 Other Forms of Issued Capital

The share premium is the difference between the par (nominal) value of shares and their selling price. The par value of shares is the product of the par value per share and the total share count. Reserves from profit arise as a result of allocation of portions of profit net of income taxes other than the profit paid in the form of dividend to shareholders or employee profit sharing.

3.15. Taxes and Contributions

Deferred Income Taxes

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary dif- ferences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised except where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, when deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which temporary differences can be utilised. The currently effective tax rate as at the reporting date is 15%.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer prob- able that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or a portion of the deferred tax assets to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow deferred tax assets to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rate expected to be effective in the year of realisation of tax benefits, i.e., settlement of deferred tax liabilities, based on the official tax rates and regulations enacted or substantively enacted on the reporting date. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

3.15. Taxes and Contributions (Continued) Current Income Taxes

The Bank is subject to income taxation in the Republic of Serbia. The Bank is under obligation to pay income tax in the form of monthly advance payments during the year, the amount of which is determined based on the income tax return submitted for the previous year. The final taxable income to which the prescribed corporate income tax rate of 15% is applied (2018: 15%), is arrived at through preparation of the Bank’s tax statement. In situations where the final tax liability differs from the initially recognised tax liability, this difference affects the tax liability in the period in which the difference was identified.

Current and deferred taxes are recognised as income or expenses and are included in the net profit/(loss) for the period.

Other Taxes

Indirect taxes and contributions include property taxes, value added tax, payroll contributions charged to the employer and var- ious other taxes, contributions and duties payable under the republic and municipal tax regulations. These are included within other expenses (Note 14).

3.16. Internal Control System for Accounting Procedures Addiko Bank has an internal control system (ICS) in place for accounting procedures, which defines and allows for the realisation of processes throughout the organisation. The governing bodies in each of the organisational units are responsible for implementation of the Bank’s rules and procedures. Compliance with the Bank’s policies is monitored as part of both external and internal audits.

ICS, as part of the Bank’s risk management system, has the following general objectives:

• Protection and implementation of the business and risk strategies and Bank’s policies; • Effective and efficient use of all resources with a view to achieve the target commercial success; • Ensuring reliable financial reporting; and • Support to the compliance with all relevant legislation, rules and regulations.

The specific objective with regard to the Bank’s accounting procedures is that ICS ensures that all business transactions are re- corded accurately, timely and in a uniform manner for accounting purposes. In addition, the system must ensure that no errors or intentional fraud affect adequate presentation of the Bank’s financial position and performance. This is the case whenever the data provided in the financial statements and notes to the financial statements are essentially inconsistent with correct figures, i.e., whenever, individually or in the aggregate, they can affect decisions made by the users of the financial statements, as such a decision may incur serious damage, such as financial loss, the imposition of sanctions by the banking supervisor or reputational harm.

The internal control system itself is not a static system but is continuously being adapted to the changing environment. The im- plementation of the internal control system is fundamentally based on the integrity and the ethical behaviour of employees. The Executive Board and the management team actively and consciously embrace their role of leading by example.

4. RISK MANAGEMENT

4.1. Financial Risk Factors The risk management system aims to mitigate the risks the Bank is exposed to in its operations by observing and implementing the risk management principles and procedures, ensuring that all aspects of the Bank’s business are stable and minimally susceptible to negative internal and external factors and that the Bank’s risk profile meets the requirements of prudent banking business at all times.

The Bank bases its risk profile on the capital adequacy level that provides risk coverage required by the statutory regulations.

Moreover, the Bank monitors exposure to other risks arising from its operations and environment that are not required according to the statutory regulations on the capital adequacy ratios. 4. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

4.1. Financial Risk Factors (Continued) The Bank’s risk management policies govern the management of all relevant risks (explained hereinafter) to which the Bank is exposed. The Bank’s risk management policies and procedures are in compliance with statutory regulations of the National Bank of Serbia (NBS), and policies, procedures and other relevant documents of Addiko Group.

The approach to the management of individual risks is defined under the effective regulations of the Republic of Serbia and the Bank’s internal regulations. The target level of capital adequacy is based on the principle that the Bank’s capital adequacy ratio should be in line with the scope, type and complexity of the Bank’s operations and, in addition to the risks contained within NBS regulations, provide a buffer for other risks arising from the Bank’s operations and environment and satisfy overall requirements of the supervisory annual assessment of minimum capital adequacy.

Risk management includes risk identification, risk measurement/assessment, undertaking of measures to mitigate risks and risk monitoring. Risk management is performed by:

1. The Bank’s bodies and other committees prescribed by the Law – the Board of Directors, Executive Board, Audit Committee, Assets & Liabilities Committee (ALCO) and Credit Committee;

2. Working groups and committees of the Bank’s Executive Board – Risk Control Advisory Body, Advisory Body for Monitoring Corpo- rate Clients and Operational Risk Advisory Body;

3. The Bank’s organisational units – Risk Control Department, Credit Risk Management Division, Data Governance Department, BSM & Treasury Department, Compliance Department and other units, as appropriate.

The Board of Directors defines the Risk Management Strategy and policies, which are executed by the Executive Board. The Ex- ecutive Board adopts procedures for risk identification, measurement, assessment and management, analyses efficiency of their application and reports to the Board of Directors about those activities.

The Risk Management Strategy is a reflection of the business strategy and it describes the planned structure of operations, stra- tegic development and growth, taking into account processes, methodology and organisational structure relevant to managing risk factors. As such, the Risk Management Strategy is the link between the business strategy and the Bank’s risk positioning. The Strategy is the highest-level risk management tool and defines the framework for monitoring, controlling and mitigating risks to which the Bank is exposed in its operations while at the same time maintaining the internal capital adequacy liquidity position and overall profitability. Reliable and sustainable growth is thus achieved, while also maintaining the level of the Bank’s own resources which are sufficient to support its operations, based on the given level of risk and in line with regulatory requirements.

The implementation of the Bank’s overall Risk Management Strategy is ensured in the following manner:

• Defining the Bank’s aptitude for risk assumption and measurement of the total risk level, as well as individual risk types, in line with the Bank and Group Business Strategies;

• Appropriate identification and quantification of each risk individually, especially in terms of internal capital and liquidity requirements, defining the existing/targeted limits for the financial year and suitable management and coordination mech- anisms;

• Converting strategic objectives to detailed guidelines and rules regarding risk management, by means of comprehensive internal governance of every individual risk type, thus achieving efficiency in fulfilling the objectives at the level of an individual client/transaction;

• Establishing an organisational framework suitable for risk management purposes, and which clearly delineates lines of re- sponsibility.

The Bank has established the Risk Appetite Framework (RAF), which is part of the process relevant to the development and im- plementation of the risk management business policy and strategy. Furthermore, the level of assumed risk versus the capacity to incur risk is also defined. The RAF defines risk levels the Bank is willing to undertake. The measures applied to define the RAF have been fine-tuned, taking into account the effective annual budget, the Risk Management Strategy, Capital Strategy and Recovery Plan, representing the framework for proper internal risk management and supervision.

Additionally, as part of strategic risk management, the Bank will implement one other crucial process - the internal capital ade- quacy assessment process (ICAAP), to determine capital levels adequate for the coverage of all materially significant risks to which it is exposed. The ICAAP is a tool used for assessing the adequacy of internal capital vs. the Bank’s risk profile and for implementing this strategy, suitable for the purpose of maintaining internal capital adequacy. 4. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

4.1. Financial Risk Factors (Continued) The key risks to which the Bank is exposed arise from its very operations as well as market conditions, and the Bank faces those in the form of:

• credit risks,

• market risks,

• liquidity risk,

• operational risk (which includes legal risk) as well as other risks such as:

• compliance risk,

• strategic risk.

In 2020, there have been no significant changes to the objective, manner, process and methods of managing the above listed key risks to which the Bank is exposed.

Hereunder is a summary of the key risks which the Bank monitors and manages on an ongoing basis.

4.1.1 Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of negative effects on the Bank’s financial result and equity arising from borrowers’ inability to settle the liabilities matured due to the Bank. The Bank’s credit risk depends on the creditworthiness (credit rating) of its borrowers, their regular and timely liability settlement and quality of collateral securitising the Bank’s receivables.

The segmentation of the Bank’s lending business is performed based on the type of client, as follows: ‘corporate’ (which includes three sub-segments: small, medium and large), private individuals, micro (small companies, entrepreneurs, agricultural produc- ers) public sector and financial institutions.

In line with the relevant decision of the Bank’s Board of Directors, the Credit Committee is the decision-making body in charge of credit-related issues; this Committee renders decisions within limits defined per BoD decision on internal regulations of the Bank and carries out other activities, as stipulated by the Law and other regulations.

Once duly authorised by the BoD, the Executive Board of the Bank, defines the rules for assigning specific credit responsibilities to specific parties, under the competences of the Bank’s Credit Committee. The Bank’s Executive Board authorises the Executive Board member in charge of risk management to render decisions on assigning specific credit-related responsibilities to employees within the limits below the competences of the Credit Committee, taking into account employee know-how, experience and per- formance.

The process of credit risk identification, assessment, measurement and management is conducted continuously and includes the Bank’s total portfolio which is subject to credit risk.

Generally speaking, the process of credit risk management consists of three key components:

- directing and undertaking activities for the purpose of measuring, assuming, avoiding and dispersing risk,

- limiting risks, and

- risk supervising (measuring, monitoring and reporting).

In terms of measuring, directing and undertaking activities aiming to undertake, avoid and disperse risk, the Bank applies four approaches:

- Financial analysis of the client, analysis of the client’s history with the Bank and other financial institutions, analysis of the latest loan application, analysis of the client’s business model, business plans and projections and consequently the approval (undertaking) of associated credit risk;

- Regular presentations of the status of client’s operations to the competent underwriter of said credit risk, at least on an an- nual basis, throughout the lifetime of the contract concluded between the Bank and the client.

- Regular monitoring of the client’s activities, especially in the area of regular repayment of matured obligations, substantial change of the client’s financial condition and rating;

- As necessary, restructuring of the client’s obligations to the Bank and, consequently taking steps toward enforced collection, should restructuring fail. 4. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

4.1. Financial Risk Factors (Continued)

4.1.1 Credit Risk (Continued) The role of the Risk Control Department is to strategically manage risks of the Bank and also to identify, measure, assess, monitor and report on credit risk, both at the portfolio- and Bank-level. Within this Department, the Credit Risk Control Team monitors, measures and reports on credit risk locally and at the Group level and also defines reports in line with the specific needs of the end-users of said reports. The Risk Control Department is responsible for portfolio-level exposure to credit risk for the purpose of establishing large exposure aggregates, determining and monitoring the quality of the loan portfolio (structure per risk category, loan size and industry) as well as monitoring development/trends against prior periods.

Credit risk reports for the purpose of reporting to the Executive Board, Board of Directors and Audit Committee are drafted on at least a quarterly basis, while Group reports are prepared in line with the Group’s specific requirements. The efficient management of credit risk, as well as timely and efficient decision-making process is ensured based on these reports.

The Risk Control Department also conducts the process of determining the impairment of balance sheet assets and provisions for losses on off-balance sheet items, i.e. calculation of expected credit losses (ECL), in line with IFRS 9, as per the methodology defined by the Bank.

The Credit Risk Management Division covers the activities of the Bank’s loan portfolio risk management primarily through the activities of the assessment of credit risks of performing clients, prevention of the occurrence of new NPLs, management of the existing NPLs of all Bank segments, as well as monitoring of the entire Bank portfolio and undertaking of corrective activities aimed at preserving defined Bank’s risk appetite.

The Underwriting Department within the Credit Risk Management Division actively participates in the preparation of loan applica- tions and credit risk assessment per individual client, which includes an expert opinion or a ‘vote’ on each particular loan applica- tion, as well as in ongoing monitoring of client creditworthiness in accordance with NBS and Group requirements. Furthermore, it is engaged in the prevention, detection, investigation and recovery of credit frauds. The main objective is fraud prevention within the process of loan approval and continuous monitoring of the loan portfolio for fraud identification purposes.

The Distressed Asset Management Department within the Credit Risk Management Division performs the following activities:

- Prevention of new non-performing loans through continuous analysis and monitoring of the changes in the loan portfolio within the Division’s competence. Also, they conduct activities on implementing the early warning system re credit risk increase and implementation and improvement of the client credit risk monitoring process.

- Active participation in the loan restructuring process in order to allow client recovery, in the enforced collection process and in other measures contributing to potential NPL and NPL collection and minimising additional risk costs.

The Credit Portfolio Analytics and Steering Department within the Credit Risk Management Division is primarily responsible for managing the Bank’s loan portfolio risk based on regular monitoring of quantitative and qualitative indicators, and based on ana- lytical understanding of the said trends, it proposes adequate measures and corrective actions aiming at preserving defined Bank’s risk appetite. Moreover, its key role is ongoing improvement and optimisation of the credit process, credit methodologies and all other policies and internal documents within the competence of the Division which contribute to the preservation of the quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio. It is also engaged in the control of the implementation of internal regulations from the segment of lending business and credit process. The said department also performs monitoring of individual clients and business activities.

The Risk Control Advisory Body monitors and analyses Bank’s exposure to risks in relation to which it proposes measures for im- provement of control, mitigation of individual risk types and rules for implementing these measures, as follows: credit risk, with focus on asset quality, loan portfolio in total and per segments; concentration risk (risk of Bank’s exposure to one person or a group of related persons); risk related to country of origin of the person to whom the Bank is exposed (country risk); ICAAP and capital adequacy of the Bank; regulatory business ratios, recovery plan ratios and RAF ratios; detailed overview of key indicators of the profile and quality of private individual portfolio; overview of the structure and status of Banks’s collaterals. 4.

4.1.1 Credit Risk (Continued) The Advisory Body for Monitoring Corporate Clients is responsible for monitoring the portfolio of corporate clients. Matters dis- cussed by this Body are reports on the condition and movement in the standard clients’ portfolio, rendering decisions about WL classifications for clients who show early warning signs and rendering decisions on credit risk mitigation measures in connection with said clients. It convenes at least once monthly, and if required, more frequently.

4.1.1.1 Credit Risk Measurement and Impairment Policy

Client Credit Rating System The Bank performs credit risk assessment in compliance with uniform standards of Addiko Group, which is in line with both do- mestic statutory regulations and internal policies and procedures for client rating. The criteria for classification and rating of the Bank’s clients are fully in accordance with the effective National Bank of Serbia’s Decision on the Classification of Bank Balance Sheet Assets and Off-balance Sheet Items (RS Official Gazette no. 94/2011, 57/2012, 123/2012, 43/2013, 113/2013, 135/2014, 25/2015, 38/2015, 61/2016, 69/2016, 91/2016, 101/2017, 114/2017, 103/2018 and 8/2019).

The assessment includes qualitative and quantitative risk assessment, i.e. overall financial analysis, creditworthiness evaluation and client credit rating.

The quantitative analysis is based on an assessment of the client’s creditworthiness, which includes an analysis of the balance sheet structure, liquidity ratios, indebtedness, efficiency, profitability, cash flows, credit limits, and the assessment of client’s future business in the upcoming period (for the duration of the loan term). The qualitative indicators are based on the assessment of development of the industry and sector the client operates in, assessment of applied accounting policies and assessment of strategic and economic factors characteristic for the client within the relevant industry.

Client credit rating is assessed upon the completion of a financial analysis, and based on certain criteria applied in the analysis. In addition, regular monthly recalculation of the client’s internal credit rating is conducted based on the following information:

- days in arrears (days past due),

- external factors that may impact the deterioration of the client’s financial situation, and

- any other external or internal information indicating a material increase in credit risk.

Classification of credit assets into the Bank’s risk categories is conducted on the basis of internal credit ratings which are grouped and presented through the following 5 risk categories, for external reporting needs:

• 1A-1E: very low risk clients, with the best, excellent or very good credit ratings (best/excellent/very good creditwor- thiness);

• 2A-2E: clients with good or moderate credit ratings (good/good to moderate/moderate creditworthiness);

• 3A-3E: clients with medium to low credit ratings (acceptable/insufficient creditworthiness);

• 4A-4E (Watch List): clients with very low credit ratings or clients who are likely to default on their obligations. This category includes borrowers with past due receivables, unrecovered receivables or those who in the previous period have defaulted on their obligations or have experienced difficulties in repaying their debt in the previous period;

• 5A-5E (NPE-Default): clients who fulfil one or more of the aforementioned criteria, inter alia - if the past due interest or principle amount is materially significant and in arrears over 90 days, the Bank considers the creditworthiness of such clients as questionable, the loan restructuring process is applied which may lead to the restructuring of non-performing exposures (forborne exposures), realised credit losses or bankruptcy proceedings have been initiated.

Stages of Impairment and Significant Increase in Credit Risk The Bank establishes the criteria for the classification of balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items per impairment levels as defined by the International Financial Reporting Standard 9 – ‘Financial Instruments’ (IFRS 9), including the criteria for receiv- ables migration among impairment levels. In order to recognise, in line with the said standard, deterioration of credit quality, the Expected Credit Loss – ECL is calculated for three different stages. For this reason, 12-month ECLs are calculated for Stage 1 assets while lifetime ECLs, are calculated for Stage 2 and Stage 3 assets. 4 RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

4.1. Financial Risk Factors (Continued)

4.1.1 Credit Risk (Continued)

4.1.1.1 Credit Risk Measurement and Impairment Policy (Continued)

Stages of Impairment and Significant Increase in Credit Risk (Continued) Stage 1 commences at initial recognition of the financial asset, and at this time a 12-month ECL is recognised as a cost. For finan- cial assets, interest income is calculated to the gross exposure. If there is no change in the credit quality of the financial instru- ment, the same treatment applies until final maturity.

Stage 2 - once significant deterioration of credit quality is established (increased credit risk), the financial asset is transferred to Stage 2 based on the previously defined criteria (as described in greater detail below). At this time, the lifetime ECL is calculated, resulting in a significant increase in allowance for impairment.

Detailed definition of Stage 2 in the regulatory process, i.e., determining significant deterioration in credit quality is executed based on the following criteria:

- the rate of credit risk increase measured through absolute and relative PD change;

- internal rating 4D or 4E;

- over 30 days past due in a materially significant amount;

- forborne status.

Stage 3 occurs at the moment the credit quality of the financial asset deteriorates to the point where objective evidence of im- pairment is recognised, i.e. default status. Inclusion in Stage 3 is dependent on the following:

- the client is over 90 days past due, in a materially significant amount;

- the client’s creditworthiness has been brought into question (significant doubt);

- restructuring due to deterioration in the customer’s financial situation (forbearance);

- partial or total write-off of receivables;

- sale of a portion of or full receivable due to deterioration in the customer’s financial situation; and

- insolvency/bankruptcy.

Lifetime ECLs are still recognised in this stage, while interest income is based on the net exposures (gross exposures less allowance for impairment).

The Bank applies the client-level assessment approach for these segments and has the same approach to corporate and retail cli- ents (private individuals). If the liabilities of one type of client exposure are in default, then all other exposures i.e., the client’s overall exposure is classified as default.

Forward-Looking Information In line with IFRS 9, the Bank will categorise forward-looking information in its assessment on whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk of a certain instrument since its initial recognition and take it into account when calculating ECL. The Bank has identified and documented key triggers of credit risk for each financial instrument portfolio, relying on the historical correlations between macroeconomic variables and credit risk. These key triggers include, among other factors, the following significant factors: unemployment rates, GDP growth rate, real estate prices and industrial manufacturing as well. All variables are included at the segment level, whenever reasonable and possible.

Forecasts of the movements of macroeconomic variables for the following years are created using internally and externally avail- able data. Special attention is paid to checking and adjusting these data (if necessary) in order to ensure that these forecasts reflect the Bank’s expectations for the upcoming period. This also involves defining of future scenarios with their corresponding probabilities, and in particular, the baseline, optimistic and pessimistic scenarios and the respective probabilities. Forecast values are consistently applied to all other relevant internal processes. 4. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

* average values for the period

The optimistic scenario reflects a combination of factors such as faster deployment of mass testing capacities, creation of a widely available vaccine, stronger growth of key Asian economies than currently projected, and consequently higher demand for Europe- an exports. Greater commitment by the European institutions to a common fund for recovery and mitigation of internal tensions between northern and southern Europe would further encourage recovery. The cyclical pattern can hardly be changed in the short term, but the mentioned positive outcomes could stimulate the level of growth by as much as 1% per year, which means returning on average about 2/3 of the loss from 2020 in the first year and exceeding pre-crisis levels by the end of simulation horizon by more than 4%.

The baseline scenario assumes that the economy will record a deep unprecedented recession in 2020 due to Covid-19, which will also hit Addiko Bank. It is clear that the second wave of the crisis brings new locking measures, which will turn into a relatively slow recovery. A relatively even return is expected in the second half of 2021, subject to the risk of significant negative impacts. Cumulative growth in the critical first three years is expected to remain positive. However, due to the lagging effects on em- ployment and wage bargaining, spending could remain low, contributing to reduced business confidence and lower investment expectations, increasing uncertainty about the recovery phase. Global monetary conditions were already extremely loose before the Covid-19 crisis, which is even more pronounced now, so it can be expected that extremely low interest rates and the program of buying large assets of major central banks will continue at least until the middle of 2021.

The pessimistic scenario predicts that the waiting period for the mass vaccine will be longer than expected and the virus will mutate in the meantime, which would require the re-establishment of serious locking measures across Europe that could last lon- ger, including Serbia. Less efficient and suboptimally coordinated monetary, fiscal and banking policies and measures will create pressure for recovery, thus increasing existing vulnerabilities. This would reduce the growth effect by half compared to the two optimistic scenarios, i.e., only 1/3 of the loss incurred in 2020 would recover in the first year of the simulation and barely reach pre-crisis levels by the end of the three-year period. However, the transition to more restrictive conditions that must be anticipat- ed in the design of the scenario entails great uncertainty. It is difficult to predict the reactions to the mentioned policies, as well as their efficiency. Above all, there is a lack of similar events in the past that could provide useful empirical guidance.

Apart from described scenarios, the Bank also applies other more pessimistic (negative) scenarios which enable the Bank to recon- sider the wider range of possible outcomes for its loan portfolio.

Calculation of Expected Credit Losses In order to assess impairment of financial assets that are measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, the Bank applies the ECL model.

Expected loss is defined as the difference between cash flows due to the Bank in accordance with the contractual terms of a- fi nancial instrument and the cash flows the Bank expects to receive (considering probabilities of default and expected recoveries). Although this requirement is introduced by IFRS 9, the standard does not prescribe detailed methods and techniques to be applied. 4. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

4.1. Financial Risk Factors (Continued)

4.1.1 Credit Risk (Continued)

4.1.1.1 Credit Risk Measurement and Impairment Policy (Continued)

Calculation of Expected Credit Losses (Continued) When establishing cash flows the Bank expects to receive, it applies the marginal loss approach, whereby the total expected loss is computed as the sum of marginal losses incurred at any moment, starting from the reporting date. Marginal losses arise from individual inputs used to estimate exposures and losses in the event of default and conditional probability of default for each period. The lifetime expected credit losses (lifetime ECL) are calculated separately for different scenarios taking into account current and forecast forward-looking information. The total expected credit losses under individual scenarios are eventually prob- ability-weighted. The Bank considers three scenarios: the base line, optimistic and pessimistic scenarios and some less favourable scenarios are at times simulated in order to understand the dynamics and potential portfolio-specific risks.

Probability of default (PD) estimates are estimates at a certain date, which will be calculated based on statistical rating models and assessed. The applied segmentation in further steps is derived from the applied rating model as per the IFRS 9 Impairment Methodology - Banks - Private Individuals-Collateralised, Private Individuals-Uncollateralised, Corporate Clients (Large, Medium, Small), Micro (entrepreneurs and agricultural producers segment), Countries, Local Administration, Project Financing, Banks and other. These statistical models take into consideration the internally available quantitative and qualitative data. Where it is avail- able, market/external data may also be used as well (e.g. financial institutions and countries).

The Bank has opted for the indirect modelling approach. This means that the existing Basel II methodology was utilised as the starting point and adjusted in a manner fully harmonised with IFRS 9. This entails removal of any conservative elements from the model, inclusion of forward-looking information, as well as lifetime PD estimates.

Exposure at default (EAD) is an estimated exposure including the repayment of principal, interest, expected amounts to be drawn from lines of credit and letters of guarantee. EAD is the gross carrying value at the time of discounting to present value, as at the reporting date, using the effective interest rate. In situations when contracted maturities have not been defined, the quantitative and/or qualitative criteria will be applied to determine the structure of cash flows (e.g. frameworks). The applied credit conver- sion factor (CCF) for all relevant off-balance sheet exposures is 100%, except for performance bonds, revocable and irrevocable lines of credit, to which CCF ranging between 0% and 50% will be applied.

Loss given default (LGD) is an estimate of economic loss in the event of default. For corporate clients, a simplified approach has been selected for the LGD parameter. For private individuals and micro clients, the LGD parameter has been determined based on a statistical model using internal data. These values are adjusted internally and qualitative and/or qualitative verifications are carried out in order to ensure estimate adequacy.

For the purpose of determining PD and LGD parameters, statistical models have been applied, wherever possible and acceptable. These models are based on available historical and/or external market data. The methodologies are based on internally available credit risk modelling, adjusted in a manner that fully reflects IFRS 9 requirements.

Lifetime ECL is calculated separately for various scenarios, taking into account present and forecast information. Aggregation of the final ECL amount is conducted at the end of the process by applying the weighted average for each scenario individually. The Bank runs calculations for these three scenarios: base case, optimistic and pessimistic scenarios.

Determining estimated credit losses and credit exposure impairment calls for staging of all exposures subject to credit risk in line with IFRS 9, as well as separation of those which are individually significant from those which are not individually significant in case of impaired credit risk exposures. The most significant criterion for determining which method is to be applied for estimating individual risk provisions is whether the aggregate amount of a particular exposure is individually significant or not.

An individually significant exposure is the total gross exposure of a group of related parties at the Bank level in excess of EUR 150,000 without reduction for collateral value. 4 RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

4.1. Financial Risk Factors (Continued)

4.1.1 Credit Risk (Continued)

4.1.1.1 Credit Risk Measurement and Impairment Policy (Continued)

Calculation of Expected Credit Losses (Continued) The collective assessment method is applied to:

• Exposures which are in Stage 1 or Stage 2;

• Individually significant exposures which are in Stage 3ii but, based on the individual calculation, the amount of expected losses equals zero (e.g., expected collection of cash flows exceed receivables);

• Exposures which are insignificant (small values) in Stage 3.

The model applied to the collective assessment of impairment is based on the concept that allowance for impairment is calculated as a product of the exposure at default (EAD), probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD), whereby LGD is based on relevant characteristics such as time in default status, risk and product segments.

Individually determined allowance for impairment are those for which expected future cash flows are estimated and recognised for each individual exposure/client. This calculation takes into account repayments from:

- the client’s main operating activity (primary cash flows),

- realised collateral, ancillary assets and assets not connected with the borrower’s main activities (secondary cash flows).

Dependent on presumed loss scenario, expected recovery is estimated individually in terms of the amount and time required for recovery. Assumptions underlying each of the relevant scenarios, along with corresponding probabilities, are duly documented and reasonable on a case by case basis. For calculations referring to the recovery process through the sale of property-collateral, the Bank bases its assumptions on the market value of collateral. Impairment factors are measures on an individual basis and are dependent on the quality of collateral; this measurement is based on various factors such as marketability, location, time till re- alisation and the legal status of the subject property. The positive difference between exposures in default status and the present value of expected future cash flows represents the impairment amount of individually significant defaulting exposures.

The Bank’s Detection of Default Status and Default Status Exit Policy envisages the terms which must be fulfilled as well as the period in which the client may be relieved of default status. Most commonly, the period in which a client must not default in settling liabilities is over 90 days. Upon the expiry of this period, if the terms of reestablishment are met, the client is reassigned the initial rating (rating assigned according to most recent financial statements).

The Bank’s policy for credit risk provisioning defines the framework for this area, while the process and responsibilities of calcu- lating impairment are defined by the Provisioning Procedure, in line with IFRS 9.

Macro models have been adjusted such that they are harmonised with validation results and new macroeconomic forecasts which are applied in order to reflect the latest available economic positions, through all segments. LGD values were also adjusted to validation results for unsecured private individual loans (PIOt segment) and micro clients (SCPI segment).

Validation The methodology and assumptions in computing the ECL are included in the internal validation process. This means that contin- ual quality control is implemented on the models and methodologies and recommendations for their improvement are provided. The applied validation standards are formalised beforehand to secure the consistent assessment over time. Validation is usually conducted once per year.

The Bank differentiates between the initial and continual validations:

• Initial validation is conducted when a new model is developed, if there is a more significant change to the existing methodology and/or in the event of significant adjustments to values.

• Continual validations represent the regular review of existing methodologies. 4. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

4.1. Financial Risk Factors (Continued)

4.1.1 Credit Risk (Continued)

4.1.1.1 Credit Risk Measurement and Impairment Policy (Continued)

Validation (Continued) In addition to the annual process, a monthly monitoring process has been established to ensure that the changes in portfolio de- velopment and the model are timely identified.

In line with the Bank policy for credit risk model validation, reports on current validation of credit risk models are submitted to the Executive Board for adoption minimum once a year.

Reports on regular current validation of credit risk models of the Bank for 2020 adopted by the Bank’s Executive Board show acceptable levels of quantitative and qualitative validations of models used, including standard recommendations with plans for further improvements. Validation results for the LGD parameter obtained in 2020 for the subsegment of private individuals and the SME subsegment showed that applied LGD values were adequate.

Write-off of Receivables

Receivables are written off under decisions of the Bank’s competent bodies in accordance with their scope of authority, if they are determined to be irrecoverable, as well as in accordance with National Bank of Serbia Decision on the Accounting Write-off of Bank Balance Sheet Assets (RS Official Gazette no. 77/2017) – hereinafter: the Write-off Decision. By transferring receivables from the balance sheet to the off-balance items, the Bank has not waived collection of receivables due from clients.

When the Bank no longer reasonably expects that a receivable will be recovered in full or partially, internal write-off ensues.

Write-off may be executed only against already recognised ECLs. The written-off amount may be full or partial write-off.

In addition to the overall derecognition criteria (see section Derecognition and Contract Modification), the below-mentioned cri- teria lead to the derecognition of financial assets:

• Unsecured financial assets if the borrower is subject to instigated bankruptcy proceedings;

• Unsecured financial assets if no payments have been made per said financial asset for a period of one year;

• Secured financial assets if no payments have been made in a specified period, dependent on the type of collateral;

A. Property as collateral, if no payments have been made in the past 5-year period B. Moveable assets, if no payments have been made in the past 2-year period C. Other, if no payments have been made for a period of one year;

• Financial assets that have undergone restructuring three or more times and the Bank has assessed that the borrower is unable to repay its obligations;

• Financial assets under which the right to settle receivables due from the borrower in a court or other procedures is terminated through approval of forced settlement.

According to the Write-off Decision, the Bank is obligated to transfer to off-balance items, all NPLs when the computed amount of impairment thereof credited to the account of impairment allowance equals 100% of the gross carrying value. In 2020, the Bank transferred uncollectable receivables fully (100%) impaired to the off-balance items. 4. RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

4.1. Financial Risk Factors (Continued)

4.1.1 Credit Risk (Continued)

4.1.1.1 Credit Risk Measurement and Impairment Policy (Continued)

Collaterals The Bank uses the following collaterals in its operations accepted when executing the loan contracts, aiming to protect the Bank from credit risk:

1) mortgages assigned over commercial and residential buildings and premises,

2) sureties of legal entities and private individuals,

3) pledge liens over movable property,

4) pledge liens over securities,

5) bank and corporate guarantees,

6) earmarked deposits.

Factors affecting collateral value appraisal:

a) asset holding period,

b) the most recent appraised value of collateral (as per internal or external appraisal),

c) net realisable value of collateral (net of taxes, fees and commissions).

To assess impairment for future cash flow from collateral realisation, the Bank assesses the value of collateral and time to collec- tion. The haircut that the collateral value is reduced for represents the adjustment up to the amount recoverable in the process of collection from collateral foreclosure.

The appraised collateral value is taken as reduced by the haircut (reduction includes a decreased estimated value of the market- able price and the cost of selling the collateral) and to the level of exposure.

4.1.1.2 Credit Risk Measurement, Impairment and Provisioning Policy (Continued)

The Bank endeavours to reduce risk by obtaining collateral, wherever possible. Collateral value is usually determined upon estab- lishment as well as annually, based on statistical data or once every three years through appraisal performed by an independent appraiser in instances of immovable assets (real estate) or movable assets, while some collateral types such as deposits or secu- rities are revalued monthly.

Through voluntary sale, court and out-of-court enforcement as well as bankruptcy proceedings, the Bank sells collateral serving as security for NPLs. The method of sale depends on the client cooperation, client legal status and the collateral’s legal status.

Maximum exposure to credit risk without taking collateral into account:

Based on the implementation of the Law on the Conversion of Housing Loans Indexed to Swiss Francs (hereinafter: the “Conversion Law”) coming into force on the eighth day from its publica- tion in the RS Official Gazette no. 031/19 dated 29 April 2019 and further written instructions of the National Bank of Serbia presented to banks, the Bank performed the conversion of housing loans indexed in CHF to EUR-indexed debts at the conversion exchange rate.

In relation to loans covered by the Conversion Law, after initial recognition, the Bank implements, in the context of recording, classification and monitoring, the same criteria and all regular procedural rules as for receivables due from other loans, except the condition of their reclassification from NPL to performing loans and stopping to consider POCI receivables from converted loans as non-performing (shown in the table as POCI 3) in case the criterion of timeliness in repayment is fulfilled, as defined in more detail by a separate methodology. Accordingly, the change of classification to performing does not result in changing the manner of measuring such receivables, implying that it is still compliant with IAS/IFRS rules, with the value being adjusted in time for changes of lifetime ECL in relation to the moment of initial recognition to POCI. The lifetime ECL calculation is compliant with the methodology applied for Stage 2 receivables (shown in the table as POCI 2). 4. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY (Continued)

Forbearance

A forborne asset is considered an asset, or client unable to adhere to the repayment schedule and terms of the contract due to financial difficulties. Due to newly arisen financial difficulties, the Bank may decide to extend the schedule and terms of the contract, to give the client the opportunity to repay the debt and to refinance the contract, in full or partially, in a either of the following ways:

a) The amendments to the contractual terms and schedule which the client is unable to comply with due to financial difficulties and which are approved as a result of the client’s new situation;

b) Total or partial refinancing of non-performing contracts, which would not be approved were the client not experiencing financial difficulties.

In this regard, there are the following possibilities:

An exposure will not be considered a forborne asset if the client is not experiencing financial difficulties.

Forbearance and risks are regularly monitored by operational units responsible for the risk management of loans granted to corporates and private individuals. Additionally, forbearance is a trigger indicating the need to conduct impairment testing in line with IFRS 9 requirements.

The Bank’s analysis of the impact caused by modification to forbearance measures did not have a financially significant effect on the total results for 2019.

The following table provides an overview of the Bank’s forborne receivables for 2020 and 2019, respectively:

4.1.1.3 Credit Risk Reporting Process

Reporting for Local Purposes

The Risk Control Department reports to the Executive Board on credit risk at the Bank’s portfolio level at least quarterly through delivery of materials presented at the Risk Advisory Body sessions.

These materials provide an analysis of the existing total credit portfolio and development dynamics over previous quarters and per various bases, as well as a review of the risk of certain forms of exposure relevant to current operations and control over total credit risk.

The underlying purpose of the analyses presented is to provide an overview of the Bank’s exposure relating to its balance sheet and off-balance sheet items as at the last day of the reporting month, corresponding relevant positions and indicators (provisions, ratio of provisions and exposure, number of clients, etc.), as well as their dynamics and development in comparison to previous reporting periods.

On a quarterly basis, the Board of Directors and the Committee for Monitoring Bank’s Operations (hereinafter: Audit Committee) of the Bank receive a risk management report, the format and contents of which are standardised. In the part related to credit risk, this report includes various overviews and aspects of measurement, assessment and monitoring of credit risk in the context of credit risk exposure, portfolio quality per various criteria, as well as influence on the Bank’s equity (having also in mind the ICAAP methodology). 4.

Reporting to Addiko Bank AG

The Risk Control Department creates and delivers to Addiko Bank AG on a monthly basis the Key Risk Indicators – KRI Report, used to prepare material for the monthly conference call meetings with Addiko bank AG CRO and CRO team members, re the previous month’s portfolio movements.

The same report provides information re loan monitoring and reporting to the Bank’s Risk Advisory Body, Board of Directors and Audit Committee.

4.1.2 Market Risks Within market risks, the Bank is exposed to foreign exchange risks, interest rate risk arising from the Banking Book and interest rate risk arising from debt securities (in line with the Group’s standards, this risk is considered interest rate risk arising from the Trading Book) and equity securities (in line with the Group’s standards, this risk is considered equity price risk). Additionally, in accordance with the Group’s standards, the Bank also recognises credit spread risk, which matches specific equity price risk from the perspective of local regulations.

Market risks consists of contingent losses arising from equity price fluctuations on the market. The Bank has defined a market risk structure based on various factors: interest rate, interest spread, FX risk and securities investment risk. The Bank, in particular, focuses on identification, measurement, analysis and management of market risks. Market risks can be a result of securities (and similar products), cash and products in FX, derivatives, hedging exchange rate and hedging results, assets similar to the principal or they can also arise from the management of assets and capital/liabilities. In addition to market risks, market liquidity risks may occur if, in the event of poor demand, the Bank is unable to sell its trading positions in liquidity bottlenecks (or due to demands relative to risk based set-offs) within a short period of time. They are taken into account for the existing positions, as part of market risk related limitations.

4.1.2.2 Measurement of Market Risks

In addition to the standard definition and measurement prescribed by the National Bank of Serbia, being a member of Addiko Group, the Bank also measures exposure to market risks (FX), as well as by applying the value-at-risk method, 1-day, with a con- fidence interval of 99%. The main instrument used for this process is the Monte Carlo simulation which includes exponentially weighted volatility and correlation over a time horizon of 250 days. In order to determine available economic capital for market risks and calculate the ability to assume risk, VaR values are adjusted to a unique level of confidence of 99.7% and a time horizon of 250 days. The models are used to calculate contingent losses, taking into account historical market fluctuation (volatility) and market context (correlation).

4.1.2.3 Summary of Market Risks

4.1.2.3.1 Foreign Exchange Risk Through various policies, procedures and working instruction manuals, the Risk Control Department defines all activities re con- trolling FX risks.

General activities which refer to the management of FX risk are as follows:

• Identification,

• Measurement,

• Control,

• Monitoring and

• Reporting.

FX risk is the possible occurrence of negative effects on the Bank’s financial result and equity due to exchange rate fluctuations. The Bank is exposed to this risk based on positions maintained on the Bank’s Banking Book and Trading Book. 4. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY (Continued)

4.1.2 Market Risks (Continued)

4.1.2.3 Summary of Market Risks (Continued)

4.1.2.3.1 Foreign Exchange Risk (Continued) The FX risk ratio is monitored as a ratio between the net open FX position and the Bank’s equity. The FX risk ratio is calculated in accordance with the NBS Decision governing the capital adequacy of banks. The Bank maintains the ratio between assets and liabilities in a manner ensuring that its total net open FX position at the end of each business day does not exceed the level set out in corresponding regulations.

The Accounting and Reporting Department calculates on a daily basis the total net open position and the Bank’s FX risk ratio, in accordance with the NBS Decision governing the capital adequacy of banks.

Based on the Bank’s net open position determined in this manner, in collaboration with Addiko Group and using the Group’s meth- odology and tools, the Risk Control Department calculates on a daily basis the VaR for open FX positions, calculated per the J.P. Morgan - Geometric StDev - Monte Carlo methodology, with a confidence interval of 99% and time horizon of 1 day, which must be within internally prescribed limits. As at 31 December 2020, VaR (99%, 1 day) for the open FX position was EUR 3.97 thousand, i.e. RSD 467 thousand and was significantly below the internally defined limit of EUR 50 thousand, i.e. RSD 5.9 million.

The table below shows a summary of VaR (99%, 1 day) for the open FX position of the Bank in 2020.

Open FX Position – FX VaR (99%, 1-day), EUR ‘000

In addition to Addiko Group’s standardised scenarios which refer to the conversion of the EUR, at least once per month, the Bank runs a stress test scenario whose purpose is to estimate potential effects on the value of the local currency in fluctuations of +/-5 or +/-10 in the income statement and the financial results of the Bank prior to taxation.

In a scenario where the Bank’s existing open FX position (with all other variables held constant) as at 31 December 2020 there was a decrease/increase in the local currency (RSD depreciation/appreciation) by 5% / 10% against EUR, USD CHF and all other currencies cumulatively, effects on the income statement before tax would be negative/positive by approx. RSD 30 million, i.e. RSD 60 million respectively, mainly due to calculated FX gains/losses arising from foreign currency denominated receivables and obligations. 4.

4.1.2 Market risks In accordance with the Decision on the Capital Adequacy of Banks (RS Official Gazette no. 103/2016, 103/2018 and 88/2019), the Bank is to maintain its FX risk ratio, i.e., currency matching of assets and liabilities, in such a manner that the Bank’s total net open FX position, including absolute value of the net position in gold, does not exceed 20% of its capital at the end of each business day.

Throughout 2019, the Bank’s foreign exchange risk ratio was in compliance with the regulations of the National Bank of Serbia.

As at 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, the Bank’s FX risk ratio was as follows:

Foreign exchange risk ratio in % 2020 2019 as at 31 December * 2.99 1.92 maximum for period - month of December ** 3.34 5.43 minimum for period - month of December ** 0.55 0.99

4.1.2.3.2 Interest Rate Risk per Items in the Banking Book Interest rate risk is a risk of negative effects on the financial result and capital of the Bank due to changes in interest rates. The Bank is exposed to this risk per items carried in the Banking Book.

The Bank specifically analyses and manages exposures arising from the following types of interest risk: a) Maturity mismatching risk (for items with a fixed interest rate) and repricing risk (for items with a variable interest rate) for individual items in assets and liabilities, and for the Bank’s off-balance sheet items; b) Yield curve risk exposure arising from change in the shape and inclination of the yield curve; c) Basis risk exposure arising from different reference interest rates with interest-sensitive items with similar characteristics in terms of maturity or repricing; d) Optionality risk exposure arising from contractual provisions related to interest-sensitive items (loans with the possibility of prepayment, deposits with the possibility of early withdrawal, etc.). In line with the responsibilities and competences prescribed by NBS regulations and enactments, the Bank’s Board of Directors defines the strategy and goals of the Bank to comply with the criteria for the risks and the result, whereas the Executive Board has overall competence for the Bank’s operations and implementation of the risk management strategy and policies and the strategy for capital management.

Other responsibilities related to interest rate risk are carried out through the following committees established by the Bank, in line with the law, regulations and enactments of the National Bank of Serbia: • Audit Committee • Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO). The Risk Control Department is, in respect of interest risk management, inter alia, responsible for overall interest rate analysis, measurement, assessment, monitoring, control and reporting as well as creation and implementation of an adequate limits system and early warning procedures in compliance with the ICAAP process (Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process).

BSM & Treasury Department is, in respect of interest risk management, inter alia, responsible for:

• Managing interest-sensitive items of the assets and liabilities of the Bank in general and per each materially significant currency, so that interest rate risk is within acceptable limits; • Submitting proposals to the ALCO for interest rate risk mitigation, avoidance and hedging in cases of higher operating costs and exceeding of defined limits due to changes in interest rates; • In collaboration with other market sectors, implementing the measures rendered by the Executive Board on reducing the interest rate risk exposure; and • Performing other operations defined by the applicable internal rules and regulations of the Bank. 4.

4.1.2.3 Summary of Market Risks (Continued)

4.1.2.3.2 Interest Rate Risk per Items in the Banking Book (Continued) In accordance with NBS Decision on Risk Management by Banks and the Addiko Group methodology, via GAP analysis (Interest Sen- sitivity Gap Balance) applied to balance sheet items of assets and liabilities of the Bank, as well as interest-sensitive off-balance sheet items from the Banking Book, the Risk Control Department measures, i.e. assesses, at least on a quarterly basis, negative effects of interest rate change on the financial result (income statement) and the economic value of the Bank.

Exposure to interest rate risk in the Banking Book and assessment of effects of this rate on the Bank’s financial result (income statement) is determined in accordance with the Earning approach based on the Delta approach whereby the result shows solely the delta (change) of interest income calculated by the predefined movement/change of interest rate. The calculation takes into consideration only interest-sensitive items from the Banking Book, while interest sensitivity gap balance is the calculation basis. Likewise, there is no dynamic overview (the planned new operations and the aspect of loan maturity are not included, there is no transfer among risk categories – fixed, variable and UFN).

EVE (economic value of equity) represents a measure of the interest rate risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB), implying a current or potential risk to the Bank’s equity occurring due to unfavourable interest rate movements affecting the Banking Book items. Interest rate changes result in changes of the present value and structure of future cash flows. In turn, the core value of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items of the Bank, and consequently, its economic value are changed.

EVE measures a theoretical change of the net present value of the balance sheet excluding equity. Equity market value is calcu- lated as the present value of assets cash flows less the present value of liabilities cash flows.

Change of NII (net interest income) as a measure of the interest rate risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB), implies current or potential risk affecting the Bank’s result; occurring due to unfavourable interest rate movements affecting the Banking Book items.

Changes in interest rates affect the Bank’s result by changing interest rate sensitive income and expenses, affecting its NII.

In order to assess potential consequences of interest rate changes to the result of the Bank with using the above two approaches (EVE and DNII), scenarios with predefined assumptions on interest rate movement are implemented as follows:

• Parallel upward movement +200bps • Parallel downward movement -200bps • Parallel upward shock BSBS • Parallel downward shock BSBS • ‘Steepener’ shock BCBS • ‘Flattener’ shock BCBS • Short-term rates upward shock BCBS • Short-term rates downward shock BCBS

The complementarity of the EVE and DNII approaches implies the following: • Both measures reflect the impact of changes of net cash flows resulting from interest rate changes; • Change in expected gains is reflected through economic value change; • They are affected by usual modelling assumptions. 4.

Scenario Effect in EUR million Parallel upward movement +200bps 0.62 Parallel downward movement -200bps -0.62 Parallel upward shock BSBS 0.36 Parallel downward shock BSBS -0.34 ‘Steepener’ shock BCBS 0.42 ‘Flattener’ shock BCBS -0.34 Short-term rates upward shock BCBS -0.22 Short-term rates downward shock BCBS 0.22

For a more comprehensive measurement of the overall effect of the interest rate risk on the Bank’s equity, taking into account only interest rate sensitive asset and liability items, the Bank measures the risk-equity-ratio as the determined economic value of the Bank relative to the Bank’s equity calculated in accordance with the NBS Decision on Capital Adequacy of Banks, the risk-eq- uity-ratio, under said assumptions, shows the level of the Bank’s equity exposure to interest rate risk.

The Bank’s interest rate risk ratio as at 31 December 2020, as an indicator of a change in economic value for interest-sensitive items relative to the Bank’s equity as at 31 December 2020 stood at 8.5% for the EVE scenario ‘parallel upward shock BSBS’ (31 December 2019: 9.85%), which was still below the internal limit set at 15% of the Bank’s equity, while in case of the effect of the second scenario group, i.e. ‘parallel downward movement -200bps’ scenario, it stood at 3.37%, being significantly below the internal limit set at 20% of the Bank’s equity. 4.

4.1.2.3.2 Interest Rate Risk per Items in the Banking Book (Continued)

Throughout 2020, the interest rate risk VaR (99, 1-day) was at quite a low level, except in March and April when the interest rate risk in the Banking Book stood at EUR 696.55 and 407.18 thousand, respectively. Such significant deviations from the annual av- erage were attributed to significantly increased interest rate volatility due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As at 31 December 2020, interest rate risk VaR (99%, 1-day) in the Banking Book was EUR 236.88 thousand, i.e. RSD 27.85 million, being significantly below the limit of EUR 400 thousand, i.e. RSD 47.4 million. The figure below shows the movements of this ratio in 2020:

Interest Rate Risk in the Trading Book – VaR (99%, 1-day), EUR ‘000

4.1.2.3.3 Equity Price Risk The Bank is exposed to the risk of changes in the prices of equity securities, since the Bank’s investments are classified in the bal- ance sheet at fair value through other comprehensive income and partly as investment through the Trading Book. At the proposal of the Executive Board, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopts appropriate market risk management policies. In turn, at the proposal the Risk Control Department (and BSM & Treasury Department) the Executive Board adopts the related supporting procedures and manuals for identification, measurement/assessment, mitigation and monitoring of market risks. These policies, procedures and manuals are based on the principles of the Bank and Addiko Group pertaining to the market risk management and control and in compliance with the minimum standards and criteria prescribed by the NBS.

Management of the price risk in debt and equity securities the Bank is exposed to is the responsibility of the Executive Board of the Bank. ALCO proposes to the Executive Board measures aimed at efficient and successful management of other market risks. For monitoring and control of the price and other market risks arising from the Banking Book and Trading Book, once per year the Bank defines a set of limits, as follows: volume/position limit, stop-loss limit p.a. and VaR limit (1-day, 99%). The limits for the Trading Book and Banking Book are defined at least once a year in coordination with Addiko Group, at the request/proposal of the BSM & Treasury Department, containing also the business strategy of the BSM & Treasury Department within each of the said Books. The request also contains the evaluation, i.e. the comments by the Risk Control Department regarding the proposed posi- tions and limits, starting from the capital level and other parameters and ratios. The request for operating limits in the Banking Book and Trading Book is approved by the Bank’s Executive Board and forwarded to Addiko Group. According to the standard of the Parent Bank, the positions and limits are defined in the same way for the Market Risk Steering Book, which in the case of the Bank, contains the following: VaR limit for interest rate risk and open FX position, which serve the purpose of strategic operations.

Within the Market Risk Steering Book, in 2020, the Bank operated and had limits established for the VaR interest rate risk portfolio from the Banking Book, as well as the total open FX position. 4. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY (Continued)

4.1.2.3.3 Equity Price Risk (Continued)

In 2020, in accordance with the Group and local strategy, procedures and approved limits, the Bank did not have equity invest- ments in other legal entities based on share trading at the Belgrade Stock Exchange (directly), but from early 2020 and throughout the year it had investment fund units carried in the Banking Book and in the Trading Book.

In 2020, the Bank continued to apply elements of additional credit risk protection in the financial derivative trading process with Addiko Group through mutual collateralisation (between the Bank and Addiko Group), in accordance with the executed Master Agreement for Financial Derivatives Transactions and Collateral Addendum to the said Master Agreement for Financial Derivatives Transactions, which are aligned with the ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association) standards.

The securities induced price risk, as per relative NBS regulations, matches interest rate risks from the Trading Book, in accordance with the Addiko Group standards. The most significant factor which affects this risk are treasury bills and bonds carried in the Trad- ing Book. In Q4 2020, interest rate risk (VaR) increased significantly due to an increase of the treasury bill portfolio in the Trading Book. As at 31 December 2020, interest rate risk VaR from the Trading Book amounted to EUR 19.6 thousand or RSD 2.3 million, being below the limit of EUR 106 thousand, i.e. RSD 12.5 million.

4.1.2.3.4 Risk of Investment in Equity Securities According to Addiko Group standards, the Bank recognises the risk of investment in equity securities. However, in 2020 the Bank did not have any exposures under these securities.

4.1.2.3.5 Credit Spread Risk The Bank also monitors credit spread risk - liquid, as a separate market risk component, which is defined as the risk of market price changes, as a result of changes in interest rate spreads. The key factor that impacts the credit spread risk is liquidity held in the form of securities. As at 31 December 2020, VaR (99%, 1-day) of the credit spread risk was EUR 63.87 thousand, i.e. RSD 7.5 million, which was significantly below the limit of EUR 270 thousand, i.e. RSD 31.75 million. 4.

4.1.3 Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the possibility of adverse effects on financial result and equity, due to the Bank’s inability to full its liabilities when these fall due as a result of:

• Withdrawal of existing sources of financing, and/or inability to obtain new sources of financing (funding liquidity risk), or

• Difficulties in converting assets into liquid funds due to market disturbances (market liquidity risk).

The Banks’ liquidity management implies maintaining sufficient amounts of assets for settling due liabilities, ensuring regular and undisturbed operations with minimal costs. This implies the Bank’s obligation to provide and maintain the liquidity reserve in its regular operations for emergencies and unforeseen circumstances.

Accordingly, the Bank has defined the area of liquidity risk control and management by a set of bylaws and enactments (strategies, policies, procedures, etc.), which are aligned with the legislation and bylaws of the National Bank of Serbia governing liquidity management and with other Bank’s policies and relevant bylaws, as well as with standards of Addiko Group, to which the Bank is a member.

The objective of the liquidity risk strategy is to set out general parameters for prudent and ongoing management of liquidity risk inherent in the Bank’s business model.

The monitoring and management of liquidity at the Bank level is within the competence of the Balance Sheet Management & Trea- sury Department. This is where the management of situational and structural liquidity and the coordination of financing resources at the Bank level takes place. Control of liquidity risk is within the competence of the Risk Control Department which performs activities re the measure and mitigation of risk, as well as timely and consistent reporting on exposure to liquidity risk.

The Bank has a business plan in place in the event of a liquidity crisis which defines the processes and instruments of control and protection necessary to eliminate an immediate crisis or overcome an acute crisis. In the event of a liquidity crisis, the Bank’s main priorities are to rigorously sustain solvency and prevent reputational damage. 4. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY (Continued)

4.1. Financial Risk Factors (Continued)

4.1.3 Liquidity Risk (Continued)

This Strategy defines:

• adequate identifying, defining, analysing, measuring, monitoring, reporting and limiting the Bank’s overall appetite for liquidity risk, with the aim of ensuring sustainable development of its operations; • ensuring that the liquidity risk structure is formed in accordance with available capital and liquidity, thus supporting its protec- tion and value preservation for the Bank’s shareholders; • organisational framework for daily management and decision-making regarding liquidity risk; • Efficient liquidity management (including data quality) and forward-looking approach that observes the defined early warning signals for the purpose of establishing liquidity adequacy on a long-term basis. In line with the responsibilities and competences prescribed by NBS regulations and enactments, the Bank’s Board of Directors defines the strategy and goals of the Bank to comply with the criteria for the risks and the result, whereas the Executive Board has overall competence for the Bank’s operations and implementation of the risk management strategy and policies and the strategy for capital management. Other responsibilities in respect of liquidity risk are exercised by the following committees, in line with the legislation, regulations and enactments of the National Bank of Serbia: • Audit Committee • Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO) The Risk Control Department takes care of overall analysis, measurement, assessment, control and reporting on liquidity risk (in- cluding funding spread risk) as well as the creation and implementation of adequate limits system and early warning procedures in compliance with the ICAAP (Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process) and ILAAP (Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process) frameworks. The BSM & Treasury Department is in charge of liquidity management at the local level, hence within this organisational unit, an employee is designated to perform, in line with Addiko Group standards, duties of the Bank’s Liquidity Manager. The basic instruments and indicators for monitoring and measuring short-term and long-term liquidity are the following: • preparation and execution of cash flow plans in a defined timeframe (at least one month); • liquidity ratios prescribed by the National Bank of Serbia (and calculated and delivered by the Accounting and Reporting Department); • monitoring of the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR); • analysis of developments and projections of cash flow matching (GAP analysis) in certain time intervals; • analysis, monitoring and limitation of negative net cash flows against available liquidity reserve under both normal conditions and a range of stress scenarios within on-year horizon; and • monitoring of internally defined liquidity ratios. In line with the Decision of the National Bank of Serbia on Liquidity Risk Management by Banks (RS Official Gazette no. 103/2016), the Bank is obligated to maintain the prescribed liquidity levels. The ratio between the sum of the first-ranking liquid receivables and the second-ranking liquid receivables, on one hand, and the sum of the Bank’s demand deposit liabilities or liabilities without agreed maturity and liabilities with maturity within one month from the day of liquidity ratio calculation, on the other hand, must be maintained by the Bank so that it equals: a) at least 1.0 when calculated as an average of liquidity ratios for all business days in a month; b) not below 0.9 for more than three consecutive business days; c) at least 0.8 when calculated for one business day.

In accordance with the same Decision, since 24 December 2012 the Bank has also been monitoring the rigid (or cash) liquidity ratio, which represents first-ranking receivables relative to the sum of the Bank’s demand deposit liabilities or liabilities without agreed maturity and liabilities with maturity within one month from the day of liquidity ratio calculation. The Bank shall maintain the level of the rigid (cash) liquidity ratio so that it equals: a) at least 0.7 when calculated as an average of the liquidity ratio for all business days in a month, b) not below 0.6 for more than three consecutive business days, c) at least 0.5 when calculated for one business day. 4. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY (Continued)

4.1.3 Liquidity Risk (Continued)

Under NBS Decision on Liquidity Risk Management (Official Gazette of the RS No. 103/2016) effective as from 30 June 2017, the Bank is required to calculate the liquidity coverage ratio on monthly basis. The liquidity coverage ratio represents the Bank’s li- quidity buffer relative to the net liquid asset outflows over an assumed stress period of 30 days. The Bank is required to maintain the liquidity coverage ratio at a level of minimum 100% for all currencies.

A critically low level of liquidity of the Bank is the liquidity level whose ratio is lower than the above ratios. If the Bank establishes a critically low liquidity level, it is required to inform the National Bank of Serbia thereof no later than the following day.

In addition to the regulatory liquidity ratios (liquidity ratio - LIK and rigid liquidity ratio - rigid LIK), for the needs of internal li- quidity monitoring, the Bank defines the following ratios which it monitors daily:

• the liquidity ratio (by analogy with LIK) per all significant currencies individually (EUR, USD, CHF and RSD) as well as other currencies in the aggregate, supplemented with swap and forward transactions maturing within a month from the day of applicable calculation (GAP limits per currency and currency ratio limits are established), and

• a set of liquidity ratios estimated as potentially significant for internal liquidity management (limits are established).

As in the case of internal limits for liquidity ratio and rigid liquidity ratio, the liquidity ratio limits per significant currencies indi- vidually are adopted by the Executive Board at the proposal of the Risk Control Department.

The Risk Control Department monitors movements of internal ratios/liquidity ratios and reports on the value of these ratios to the BSM & Treasury Department on a daily basis.

In addition, at least once a month at ALCO meetings, the Risk Control Department reports on the periodic trend of internal liquidity ratio movements.

For the purpose of analysing the effects of potential (negative) movements of the liquidity position, i.e. creating a number of liquidity stress scenarios, the Risk Control Department, in cooperation with the BSM & Treasury Department providing minimum information on availability and time lag of the liquidity potential and the responsible Finance Controlling Department, defines/ updates on a weekly basis projected cash flows for a period of up to a year and determines the liquidity flows sensitivity to the disturbances envisaged by the scenarios. The stress scenario methodology is developed in cooperation with Addiko Group. For quantitative and qualitative measurement, monitoring, control and reporting on long-term liquidity, in the aggregate separately for major currencies, the Risk Control Department applies the methodologies defined internally and/or in coordination with Addiko Group and its standards.

Stress sensitivity is used to calculate stress effects on the cash flows, as well as on the liquidity reserve. Stress analysis is per- formed for various timeframes and levels of unforeseen events.

The Risk Control Department monitors and reports monthly on maturity (mis)matches of balance sheet liabilities and receivables and off-balance sheet items through the maturity scale (GAP analysis) for predefined periods of time, taking into consideration the set of predefined model assumptions (criteria for classification of assets and liabilities without maturity). This report is based on the GAP analysis applied to maturity structure of assets and liabilities of the Bank. The underlying purpose of such measurement and the report is to recognise assets and liabilities, i.e. (net) cash flows (inflows/outflows) starting from their agreed maturity per the remaining period until maturity. Balance sheet items without contractually defined maturities are included yet can also be treated separately and are grouped according to the documented assumptions. With regards to odd-balance sheet items, the report includes derivatives with the effect on cash flows and undrawn framework loans, guarantees, and letters of credit under the stated assumptions.

Items without maturity that do not generate cash flows (fixed assets, intangible assets, other assets, equity investments, provi- sions, other liabilities, equity, etc.) are grouped in a separate column – non-relevant cash flows (‘NR’). 4. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY (continued)

Overall liquidity at Addiko Bank in 2020 remained at a satisfactory level. Throughout the year, the Bank did not experience criti- cally low levels of liquidity, i.e. none of the ratios monitored by the Bank were in violation.

A comparative review of the liquidity ratios for 2020 and 2019, respectively, is found below:

Liquidity ratio 2020 2019 as at 31 December 1.67 1.87 average in December 1.58 1.74 maximum ratio throughout the year 2.16 2.17 minimum ratio throughout the year 1.41 1.32

A comparative review of the rigid liquidity ratios for 2020 and 2019, respectively, is found below:

4.1.3 Liquidity Risk (continued) The following table provides an analysis of the Bank’s non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities grouped according to maturity date, by the net remaining maturity.

Gross receivables due from banks and customers are decreased by the amount of allowance for impairment as per loan facilities underlying the receivables. In maturities up to 1 months, the following are categorised: mature receivables, receivables and liabilities without contracted maturity, prepaid fees and commissions per loans and early repayment of interest per savings deposits.

Bearing in mind that in 2020 all of the Bank’s liquidity ratios were constantly in compliance with the regulatory requirements, and that continuing on into 2021, the Bank plans to apply to its liabilities a partial maturity extension strategy in collaboration with international financial institutions (additional long-term borrowings), rollover retail deposits with the same or extended maturities (for amortised contingent groups of deposit assets that are scheduled to mature in the first half of 2021), as well as decrease the maturity of its assets by shorter term lending to retail clients, the expected result expected is a reduction of the liquidity GAP against that set on 31 December 2020. 4.

4.1.6 Other risks

● Compliance Risk

Compliance risk is the result of a failure to align operations with the laws and by-laws, internal acts, procedures for the prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism and standard professional rules and codes, good professional practices and the Bank’s business ethic. Three major compliance risks are the following: a) Risk of sanctions imposed by the regulatory body – risk resulting from business irregularities which may lead to the regulator imposing measures against the Bank under conditions and as provided for under legislation; b) A risk of financial losses – risk resulting from all risks the Bank is exposed to, particularly due to non-compliance with the laws and internal acts and inadequate application of strategies and policies, i.e., due to management of the Bank resulting in financial losses for any reason, and c) Reputational risk – risk arising from non-compliance with the laws and internal acts which leads to disruption to reputation and trust of the clients.

● Operational Risk

Operational risk is the risk of occurrence of losses arising from inappropriate or unsuccessful internal processes, human error and systemic or external events, which include legal risk. The definition of operational risk does not include strategic and reputational risks. According to its internal acts, the Bank also accepts the definition set out in the Law on Banks and the National Bank of Ser- bia Decision on Risk Management by Bank, and therefore this risk also includes the risk of possible occurrence of negative effects on the Bank’s financial result and capital due to failures in the work of employees (unintentional and intentional), inappropriate internal procedures and processes, inadequate information management and other systems within the Bank, as well as due to the occurrence of unforeseen external events.

The Bank measures, i.e. evaluates operational risk exposure taking into consideration the possibility, i.e. the frequency of occur- rence of said risk, as well as its potential effect on the Bank, paying close attention to events whose occurrence is less likely, but which may potentially cause significant material losses.

The Bank applies two approaches to operational risk identification and evaluation: reactive approach to risk assessment, based on event occurrence, and proactive approach through scenario analysis (SA) and risk assessment - Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA), as an instrument of qualitative assessment.

The goal of managing operational risk in the Bank is to achieve a proactive approach (i.e. risk management) instead of a reactive approach (i.e. loss management). 4. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY (Continued)

4.1. Financial Risk Factors (Continued)

4.1.6 Other Risks (Continued)

● Operational Risk (continued)

The Bank applies the following methods and tools to support operational risk management:

• Loss database for systematic collection of data on losses due to operational risk throughout the institution;

• Qualitative assessments (scenarios and risk assessments) to identify and assess the risks occurring within business pro- cesses;

• Regular reporting on operational risk.

All the Bank’s employees are obligated to take active part in identifying and reporting on operational risk related losses.

Identification of operational risks is performed and assessed so as to allow defining appropriate actions for avoiding, mitigating, transferring or accepting the risks, including the priorities for implementing safeguards.

The goal is to reduce losses as much as possible, in accordance with allocated resources and budget. The Bank will propose measures to minimise operational risk if it deems that the benefit arising from these measures will not exceed the costs of their implementation, and that they will contribute to the Bank’s efficiency.

The Bank identifies, assesses and monitors operational risk in all materially significant products, activities, processes and systems, including outsourcing, and before their introduction it estimates operational risk which may arise from their introduction.

The Bank applies the basic indicator approach (BIA) to calculate the capital requirement for operational risk. According to this approach, the capital requirement for operational risk equals the amount of the three-year average exposure ratio multiplied by a capital requirement rate of 15%.

The three-year average exposure ratio is the arithmetic mean of the ratios for the past three years. If the exposure ratio is neg- ative or equal to zero in any of the three years, the amount is not included in the calculation of the three-year average. Instead, the average is calculated as the ratio of the sum of positive values of the exposure ratio and the number of years when such values were generated.

The Bank monitors exposure to operational risk through regular reports on operational risk related losses (contingent losses), which are submitted to the Operational Risk Management Advisory Body and the Executive Board of the Bank.

The Bank’s Operational Risk Officer (ORO) drafts reports on operational risk on a regular basis.

The Board of Directors of the Bank and the Audit Committee are notified by way of operational risk reports in line with the sched- ule of these meetings. The National Bank of Serbia is notified of operational risk events in accordance with statutory regulations or as required by the regulatory body. In addition, the Bank reports to the Group on a regular basis, in line with their prescribed reporting standards.

● Investment risk

The Bank’s investment risks include the risks of its investments in other legal entities and in fixed assets and investment property, considering the following:

• the Bank’s investments in a single non-financial sector entity cannot exceed 10% of its capital (implying investments based on which the Bank acquires a stake or shares of a non-financial sector entity),

• the Bank’s total investments in non-financial sector entities and in fixed assets and investment property of the Bank cannot exceed 60% of the Bank’s capital, provided that this limit does not apply to the acquisition of shares for the purpose of their resale within six months from the date of their acquisition.

In 2020, the Bank’s investment risk exposure ranged within the prescribed limits. 4. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY (Continued)

4.1. Financial Risk Factors (Continued)

4.1.6 Other Risks (Continued)

● Country risk

The country risk is the risk relating to: • country of origin of the entity establishing a business relation with the Bank,

• risk of possible adverse effects on the financial result and capital of the Bank due to the Bank’s inabil- ity to collect receivables from such entity(ies) for reasons arising from political, economic or social circumstances in such entity’s country of origin.

The country risk includes the following risks: • political-economic risk (implying the inability to collect receivables due to restrictions established under regulations of government and other authorities of the borrower’s country, as well as general and systemic circumstances in such country),

• transfer risk (implying the inability to collect receivables in a currency which is not the official cur- rency of the borrower’s country of origin due to restrictions on settlement of obligations to creditors from other countries in a specific currency established under regulations of government and other authorities in the borrower’s country of origin).

The Bank manages the country risk by establishing and monitoring the exposure limits. The Bank’s limits of exposure to the country risk are established individually by borrower’s country of origin, and the risk assessment and measurement are based on interna- tionally defined and recognised standards for country risk assessment.

In order to protect its business from the country risk, the Bank implements the internally adopted Risk Management Policy, as well as the Procedure for Country Risk Management.

In 2020, the Bank’s country risk exposure ranged within the prescribed limits.

Legal Risk

The total number of passive legal proceedings increased in 2020. The number of legal proceedings which refer to loan application processing fees significantly increased during 2020. The majority of pending court cases refer to the loan processing fee, FX clause, increase in margin and interest rate clause - which are described in more detail in the section entitled Historical Risks of Unilateral Change of the Margin.

This increase in the number of pending cases shows that there is risk of an increase in the number of court cases due to changes in judicial practices and new laws (e.g. the Law on conversion, the amended law on consumer lending, and the law on consumer protection).

Addiko Bank a.d. Beograd has established a centralised data base (as is the case in Addiko Group and all its subsidiaries), which allows both Addiko Bank a.d. Beograd and Addiko Bank AG, i.e. the holding company to monitor and manage court cases and early identification of possible new developments and court decisions in the countries where Addiko Group subsidiaries operate. In addi- tion to this, other monitoring and management tools have been implemented in order to establish and ensure reliable data quality and dispute handling, in order to monitor activities pertaining to passive disputes as well as their development on a daily basis.

Historical Risks of Unilateral Change of the Margin

In 2020, the value of amounts claimed through courts from Addiko Bank a.d. Beograd, with regard to the FX clause, unilateral adjustment of the margin and lawsuits for damage compensation amounted to RSD 2,728 million. 4. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY (Continued)

Legal Risk Monitoring and Provisions

Provisions for passive court proceedings involving Addiko Bank a.d. Beograd, in particular, in terms of the risk of losing lawsuits and incurring corresponding court expenses, are determined mainly in accordance with the international accounting standards applied throughout Addiko Group. Accordingly, it is not necessary to allocate provisions if it is highly likely that Addiko Bank a.d. Beograd will win a particular dispute. If the probability of successful outcome is less than 50%, provisions must be allocated. The local Legal Departments, which are familiar with specific court cases and/or outsourced attorneys, are responsible for successful performance assessment. This particularly refers to very complex litigation or litigation involving high claimed amounts. In addi- tion to the overall provisions, provisions are also allocated in very complex and/or important disputes which carry a higher legal risk. The same criteria are applied to passive disputes initiated by claimants with relation to FX indexed loans, however with two important additions: firstly, successful outcome of a particular lawsuit are not assessed by local Legal Departments only but also by several outsourced attorneys and secondly, these types of legal disputes are monitored more intensely on a Group level, as a result of a growing number of regulations pertaining to foreign currency indexed loans in SEE countries (e.g. the so called ‘legal regulations on conversion’).

In addition to the legal data base, where data are updated on a daily basis, Addiko Bank a.d. Beograd as well as all other Addiko Group members, are obligated to provide regular reports on local legal matters and the latest developments and also to draft ad hoc reports on every new lawsuit. Consequently, this manner of reporting allows for information pertaining to the total number of court proceedings to which Addiko Group is a party, as well as legal risks underlying such proceedings (measured in performance assessments recording legal risk provisions in appropriate amounts, effective monitoring of changes and, when necessary, adoption of measures be available at all times.

Summary of legal disputes - possible ensuing invalidation of the contracted FX clause, clause re change of the interest rate and interest rates in accordance with court decisions and changes in relevant legislation

In the past ten years, many private individuals throughout SEE took out loans indexed in a foreign currency (particularly CHF indexed loans). As was the case in earlier years, such contracts are no longer subject to client complaint and court proceedings; however, the latter is primarily an exercise initiated by consumer protection organisations. The main argument is that borrowing clients were not given sufficient information on the consequences of these contracts at the time of their execution and/or that FX clauses and/or interest rates were contracted in breach of contractual provisions. This is an attempt at renegotiating terms and conditions and provisions of FX indexed loan contracts with clients.

At the time of adopting these financial statements, several first-instance and second-instance court decisions were passed with regard to the above described disputes; some of the court decisions were to the Group’s detriment, while in other cases they were in favour of the Bank.

In Serbia, a lawsuit against Addiko Bank a.d. Beograd and another two banks initiated by Efektiva, a consumer protection organi- sation, was dismissed in favour of the defendants, with legal enforceability.

At the session of the Civil Department of the Supreme Court of Cassation held on 2 April 2019, a legal opinion on a currency clause was adopted. In line with the said opinion, a currency clause may be legally contracted in order to preserve equality of mutual payments – market value of RSD amount of placed and repaid loan funds established by indexing EUR exchange rate, whereas a loan contract clause on indexing a RSD debt by applying CHF exchange rate is null and void in case there is no reliable written evidence that the bank has obtained placed RSD funds from own borrowing in this currency and if prior to contract conclusion, the bank failed to present to the client a comprehensive written information on all business risks and economic and financial conse- quences which may occur from applying the said clause.

After publishing the legal opinion of the Supreme Court of Cassation related to the right of contracting a currency clause, on 7 May 2019, the Law on the Conversion of Housing Loans Indexed to Swiss Francs (RS Official Gazette no. 31/2019) was adopted, regulat- ing rights and obligations of banks and financial service consumers – private individuals having housing loan contracts with currency clause – CHF indexed in the procedure of the loan debt conversion to EUR-indexed debt. In view of the fact that the majority of CHF housing loan borrowers accepted the conversion offer, in which case termination of court procedure related to the currency clause is envisaged, the legal risk from an increase of such court cases in the future was decreased. 4.

Summary of legal disputes - possible ensuing invalidation of the contracted FX clause, clause re change of the interest rate and interest rates in accordance with court decisions and changes in relevant legislation (continued)

Currently, there are certain indications of the courts changing their decision-making in CHF-related proceedings by deciding in favour of clients-plaintiffs, and allowing the termination or annulment of CHF loan agreements in court cases where clients did not perform conversion. Nevertheless, based on monitoring of the inflow of new lawsuits for annulment of foreign currency clauses or agreement termination due to changed circumstances, it may be concluded that their growth trend is low, based on the share of these lawsuits in their overall structure.

Lawsuits related to loan application processing fees and claims related to loans insured by the National Loan Insurance Corporation have an upward trend (as at 31 December 2020, the total number of lawsuits related to loan application processing fees stood at 2,751, out of which number, 1,624 lawsuits were filed in 2020, and the total number of lawsuits related to insurance premiums charged by the National Loan Insurance Corporation was 213, out of which number, 91 lawsuits were filed in 2020).

Despite the fact that the Supreme Court of Cassation has released its legal opinion on this issue stating that contracting of fees and costs is legally admissible provided that the bank clearly and unambiguously presented the amount of costs and fees to the borrower, there still are differing interpretations of this legal opinion by courts.

The number of disputes dealing with contract termination due to new circumstances did not significantly increase (3 new court cases in 2019), while disputes re the fees pertaining to loan application processing and those referring to loans insured by the National Mortgage Insurance Corporation were increasing (1280 in total, of which 661 were initiated in 2019).

It is expected that more clients will file lawsuits due to charged loan application processing fees, since the Supreme Court of Cassation rendered the opinion stating that contracting of fees and expenses is legally admissible in case a bank has clearly and unambiguously presented the amount of costs and fees to the client.

As regards banks in Serbia, there still have been no legislatively initiatives, however regulatory initiatives exist. In Serbia, the Na- tional Bank of Serbia issued a recommendation to all banks in May 2013 and stated that borrowing clients with CHF indexed loans should be given certain reliefs (such as the possibility to repay CHF loans in smaller instalments in the next three years) or that increased interest rates should be reimbursed as a result of interest rate adjustments. Furthermore, the National Bank of Serbia Decision on Measures for Preserving Stability of the Financial System in the Context of Foreign Currency Indexed Loans, which took effect in March 2015, envisages four models of contract amendment (e.g. conversion of CHF indexed loans to EUR indexation based on certain criteria) which banks must offer to clients who borrowed in a foreign currency and who intend to convert indexation. Addiko Bank in Serbia has already met its implementation obligations referring to these regulatory measures. Nevertheless, it should be noted that a small number of clients have accepted the offer.

4.2 Capital Management The strategic goals of the Bank with respect to capital management are as follows:

• Ensuring sufficient capital to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements in compliance with the regulations of the Na- tional Bank of Serbia;

• Ensuring sufficient capital to support the Bank’s aptitude for risk assumption and satisfy internal capital needs;

• Ensuring the going concern concept, providing return on equity to the shareholders and benefits to other interested parties;

• Ensuring a strong capital base, as support for further sustainable development of the Bank’s operations;

• Capital allocation in line with the Bank’s strategic goals, including optimisation of return on internal and regulatory capital.

The Bank’s capital management is compliant with the effective relevant legislation and regulations of the National Bank of Serbia governing banking operations. In addition to this, capital management also complies with the requirements of Addiko Group, of which the Bank is a member. 4. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY (Continued)

4.2 Capital Management (Continued)

The Bank’s Board of Directors defines and approves the Strategy for Capital Management, which constitutes the Bank’s basic doc- ument for capital management.

The Bank’s Executive Board has formed a working body: Risk Control Advisory Body. The Risk Control Advisory Body monitors, analyses and implements simulations and stress tests related to changes in the Bank’s capital in the forthcoming period, such as changes in the regulatory capital, capital adequacy and internal capital (calculated based on the Internal Capital Adequacy Assess- ment Process – ICAAP). The Risk Control Advisory Body proposes to the Executive Board measures for managing the Bank’s capital.

The Bank establishes a capital management plan for the purpose of maintaining an adequate level and structure of available inter- nal capital that may support the expected growth of loans and receivables, future sources of funding and their use, risks to which the Bank is exposed and may be exposed to in the forthcoming period, as well as any changes in minimum capital requirement set forth by the Decision on the Capital Adequacy of Banks. Taking into account said elements, including guidelines under the Decision on Risk Management by Banks, the Bank performs capital planning quantification.

The Capital Management Plan includes:

• Strategic objectives and period for their achievement, taking into consideration the influence of the macroeconomic environ- ment and phases of business cycle; • Manner of organising the available internal capital management process; • Process and procedures for planning an adequate level of available internal capital; • Manner of achieving and maintaining an adequate level of available internal capital; and • Contingency plan in the event of emergencies that may affect the amount of available internal capital. In accordance with the Decision on the Capital Adequacy of Banks (RS Official Gazette no. 103/2016, 103/2018 and 88/2019), the Bank is required to maintain the minimum amount of capital in RSD equivalent of EUR 10,0000,000 at the official middle exchange rate of the National Bank of Serbia.

The Bank is required to maintain at all times its capital adequacy ratios listed above at the following minimum prescribed levels:

• the common equity Tier 1 capital ratio (CET1 ratio) minimum of 4.5%; • the core capital adequacy ratio (T1 ratio) minimum of 6%; and • the total capital adequacy ratio (CAR) minimum of 8%. Additionally, the Bank is to maintain capital adequacy ratios increased in a manner that will ensure coverage of the following capital buffer requirements:

• the capital conservation buffer equal to 2.5% of the Bank’s total risk-weighted assets; and • the systemic risk buffer equal to 3% of the total foreign currency and FX indexed corporate and retail loans in the Republic of Serbia on condition that the share of such loans in the total Bank’s loans approved to corporate and retail clients is above 10%. The Decision defines the Bank’s regulatory capital is the sum of the core (Tier 1) capital and supplementary (Tier 2) capital, where the core (Tier 1) capital is comprised of the common equity Tier 1 capital (CET1) and additional Tier 1 capital, less deductibles. In order to be included in the core or supplementary capital, items of the Bank’s capital must meet the criteria prescribed by the Decision at all times.

The Bank’s common equity Tier 1 capital is the sum of the following items (adjusted for the regulatory adjustments less deductible items):

1) shares and other equity instruments; 2) relevant share premium with the common equity Tier 1 instruments; 3) the Bank’s profit; 4) revaluation reserves and other unrealised gains; 5) reserves from profit and other reserves of the Bank; 6) reserve funds for general banking risks.

Elements are included in the Bank’s common equity Tier 1 capital only if the Bank may use them unconditionally, fully and without delays to cover or absorb risks or losses if any occur. 4. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY (Continued)

4.2 Capital Management (Continued) Deductible items from the common equity Tier 1 capital are:

1) current and prior year’s losses and unrealised losses; 2) intangible assets; 3) deferred tax assets dependable on the Bank’s future profitability in line with the effective regulations; 4) negative amount obtained from calculation in line with item 134 of the Decision – for banks which received a consent of the National Bank of Serbia for the IRB approach implementation; 5) defined benefit pension fund assets on the Bank’s balance sheet; 6) the Bank’s direct, indirect and synthetic holdings of its own common equity Tier 1 instruments, including those that the Bank is under an actual or contingent obligation to repurchase by virtue of a contractual obligation; 7) the Bank’s direct, indirect and synthetic holdings of common equity Tier 1 instruments of FSI entities where those entities have reciprocal holdings in the Bank, designed to artificially inflate the Bank’s capital; 8) the Bank’s applicable direct, indirect and synthetic holdings of common equity Tier 1 instruments of FSI entities where the Bank holds no significant investments; 9) the Bank’s applicable direct, indirect and synthetic holdings of common equity Tier 1 instruments of FSI entities where the Bank holds significant investments; 10) the amount for which the Bank’s additional Tier 1 capital deductible items exceed the Bank’s additional Tier 1 capital; 11) the amount of exposures qualifying for application of a risk weight of 1.250%, where the Bank decides to deduct the exposure from the common equity Tier 1 rather than apply the said risk weight; 12) any tax charge relating to the common equity Tier 1 items foreseeable at the moment of its calculation, except where the Bank has previously suitably adjusted the amount of common equity Tier 1 items insofar as such tax charges reduce the amount up to which those items may be used to absorb risks or losses; 13) gross amount of receivables from a borrower – private individual (except agricultural producers and entrepreneurs) implying granted consumer loans, cash loans or other loans recorded in accounts 102, 107 and 108 in line with the decision regulating the chart of accounts and contents of accounts within the chart of accounts for banks where the indebtedness level of such a borrower prior to loan approval was higher than the percent established in line with the decision regulating classification of balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items of banks or such percent will be higher after loan approval, with the deduct- ible being implemented regardless of whether the indebtedness level of such borrower becomes lower than the said percent after the loan approval; 14) gross amount of receivables from a borrower – private individual (except agricultural producers and entrepreneurs) implying granted consumer loans, cash loans or other loans, except loans under item 15) hereof recorded in accounts 102, 107 and 108 in line with the decision under item 13) hereof whose agreed maturity is: - over 2920 days – if such loans are approved in the period 1 January – 31 December 2019, - over 2555 days – if such loans are approved in the period 1 January – 31 December 2020, - over 2190 days – if such loans are approved after 1 January 2021; 15) gross amount of receivables from a borrower – private individual (except agricultural producers and entrepreneurs) implying consumer loans for buying motor vehicles recorded in account 102 in line with the decision under item 13) hereof whose agreed maturity is over 2920 days and such a loan is approved after 1 January 2019; 16) amount of provisions for estimated losses calculated in line with regulations of the National Bank of Serbia, if the said regula- tions prescribe the obligation of allocating the said reserve; 17) total amount of exposure to RSD loans indexed to FX clause and FX loans under item 13a, paragraph 1 of the decision with exceeding of the percent under the said paragraph, i.e. the total amount of bank exposure to RSD loans indexed in FX clause and FX loans under item 13a, paragraph 2 of the decision where the percent under the said paragraph is exceeded. An exception from the item 13 are loans for refinancing loans approved until 18 March 2020 under the following conditions:

1. a refinancing loan was approved in the period from 19 March 2020 to 31 December 2020 with agreed maturity not ex- ceeding 3,285 days, or refinancing loan was approved in the period from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021 with agreed maturity not exceeding 2,920 days;

2. a refinancing loan amount does not exceed the remaining outstanding amount of the loan being refinanced.

An exception from the item 14 are loans for refinancing loans approved until 18 March 2020 provided that refinancing loan was approved in the period 19 March 2020 to 31 December 2020 with its agreed maturity not exceeding 3,650 days and the refinancing loan amount not exceeding the remaining outstanding amount of the loan being refinanced.

For purposes of the common equity Tier 1 capital calculation during the year the Bank is required to determine profit/loss at the end of each interim period and deduct all losses from CET1 as these are incurred in accordance with paragraph 1 of the legal provision under 1) of this item. 4. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY (Continued)

4.2 Capital Management (Continued) The Bank’s additional Tier 1 capital consists of the sum of the following items less respective deductibles:

1) shares and other equity instruments that meet the criteria of additional Tier 1 capital instruments; 2) relevant share premiums that accompany additional Tier 1 capital.

Deductible items from additional Tier 1 capital are: 1) the Bank’s direct, indirect and synthetic holdings of own s additional Tier 1 capital instruments, including those that the Bank is under an actual or contingent obligation to repurchase by virtue of a contractual obligation; 2) the Bank’s direct, indirect and synthetic holdings of additional Tier 1 capital instruments of FSI entities where those entities have reciprocal holdings in the Bank, designed to artificially inflate the Bank’s capital; 3) the Bank’s applicable direct, indirect and synthetic holdings of additional Tier 1 capital instruments of FSI entities where the Bank holds no significant investments; 4) the Bank’s direct, indirect and synthetic holdings of additional Tier 1 capital instruments of FSI entities where the Bank holds significant investments, excluding items that, as the issue underwriter, it has held for no more than five business days or less; 5) the amount for which the Bank’s supplementary capital deductible items exceed the Bank’s supplementary Tier 2 capital; 6) any tax charge relating to the additional Tier 1 capital items foreseeable at the moment of its calculation, except where the Bank has previously suitably adjusted the amount of additional Tier 1 items insofar as such tax charges reduce the amount up to which those items may be used to absorb risks or losses.

The Bank’s supplementary (Tier 2) capital consists of the sum of the following items less respective deductibles: 1) shares and other Tier 2 instruments and liabilities under subordinated loans; 2) the relevant share premium, i.e., amounts paid in above the par value of such instruments; 3) general credit risk adjustments gross of tax effects, of up to 1.25% of the risk-weighted credit risk exposures.

4.3 Fair Value Assessment

The fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer obligations in a regular transaction between market participants, on the measurement date.

Fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market (such as tradable securities and securities available for sale) is based on quoted market prices as at the reporting date. Quoted market prices used for the Bank’s financial assets represent the current bidding prices. Fair value of financial instruments not traded in the active market (such as derivatives which are traded OTC) is determined by various valuation techniques. The Bank applies different methods and determines assumptions based on the market conditions existing as at the reporting date. Quoted market prices or quoted prices for similar instruments are used for long-term liabilities. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used for determining the fair value of the remaining financial instruments.

Fair value of interest rate swaps is recalculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows. Fair value of forward FX contracts is determined by applying quoted market exchange rates as at the reporting date. It is assumed that the nominal values of receivables and payables, less any impairment losses, approximate their fair values. Fair values of financial liabilities for dis- closure purposes are assessed by discounting future cash flows at the current market interest rate available to the Bank for similar financial instruments.

IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement - establishes the fair value hierarchy which categorises the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels that are applied for fair value measurement:

• Level 1:Quoted market price (unadjusted) in an active market for an identical instrument

• Level 2: Information based on market inputs for assets or liabilities, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, observable either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

• Level 3: Information on an asset or a liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices as of the balance sheet date. A market is deemed active if quoted prices are immediately and regularly available at the stock exchange, with dealers, brokers, industrial groups, units for pricing or the regulatory agency, and if the said prices reflect the current market transactions, which are regularly performed at arm’s length. Quoted market prices used for the Bank’s financial assets represent current bidding pric- es. The said instruments are recorded within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The instruments within Level 1 primarily include BELEX investments into equity instruments classified as financial assets held for trading or financial assets available for sale. 4 RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY (Continued)

4.3 Fair Value Assessment (Continued)

Fair value of financial instruments not traded in an active market (such as derivatives traded OTC, with publicly available data) is determined by application of various valuation techniques. Those valuation techniques use observable data from the market as much as possible, if available, and rely on special estimates of the Bank as little as possible. If all materially significant inputs necessary for determining fair value of an instrument are present, the instrument measured is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

If one or more materially significant inputs are not based on available market data, the instrument is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Special valuation techniques used for financial instruments are:

• Quoted market prices or prices of dealers for similar instruments,

• Fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows based on the available yield trend,

• Fair value of forward FX forward contracts is determined by application of forward exchange rates as of the reporting date, with discounting the acquired value to the present value,

• Other techniques, such as analysis of discounted cash flow, are used to determine fair values of the remaining financial in- struments.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities Carried at Fair Value

In 2020 and 2019, the Bank did not transfer financial assets held for trading and financial assets available for sale from Level 1 to Level 2.

4.3 Fair Value Assessment (Continued)

Fair value of Financial Assets and Liabilities Carried at Other than Fair Value

The Bank assessed the fair values of the financial instruments carried at other than fair value, as follows:

• By discounting the expected future cash inflows from financial assets at the expected rate of return, consisting of the ‘risk-free’ interest rate and premiums for credit risk per corresponding maturities of the financial assets,

• By discounting the expected future cash outflows arising from financial liabilities at the ‘risk-free’ interest rate plus the zero credit spread applicable to the corresponding financial liability according to its maturity.

The Bank’s management believes that, due to the nature of the Bank’s financial assets, as well as the type of its clients, the car- rying amounts of loans and receivables due from banks and other financial institutions do not depart from their fair values.

Fair values of the financial assets and liabilities carried at other than fair value as at 31 December 2020 are presented in the table below:

In 2020, the Bank calculated the required RSD and foreign currency reserves in accordance with the Decision on Obligatory Re- serves Held with the National Bank of Serbia (RS Official Gazette no. 3/2011, 31/2012, 57/2012, 78/2012,87/2012, 107/2012, 62/2013, 125/2014, 135/2014, 4/2015, 78/2015, 102/2015 and 21/2019) until October 2018. Under the Amendment to the De- cision from October 2018 (RS Official Gazette no. 76/2018, 21/2019 and 102/2020), the funds received from the international financial institution shall no longer be fully exempt from the required reserve calculation.

The Bank is required to notify NBS by the end of each calendar month of its intention not to calculate the required reserve on the balance of funds received from the international financial institutions after October 17, 2018 as from the ensuing period. At the same time, the Bank is required to submit to NBS information on the sources and amounts of such funds received, purpose of the funds and interest rates per sources of funding and per of loans extended from such funds and on the average interest margins on the loans approved from other sources. 16. CASH AND BALANCES HELD WITH THE CENTRAL BANK (Continued)

The Bank is under obligation to maintain the average daily balance of the allocated required reserve over the reporting period in the amount of the calculated required reserve, where it is allowed that during the month daily balances of both RSD and foreign currency required reserves may be above or below the calculated required reserves. All days within the accounting period are taken into account in calculation of the average daily balance of the required reserve.

The RSD required reserve is calculated for deposits, loans and securities as well as other RSD denominated liabilities with the exception of RSD deposits received under transactions calculated by the Bank in the name and on behalf of third parties. Such amounts, however, do not exceed loans and receivables amounts which the Bank extended from these deposits.

The required reserve allocated in RSD consists of the sum of the calculated RSD reserve and a portion of the calculated FX reserve. For the basis which includes FX reserves with maturities of up to two years, the calculated required reserve was allocated in RSD, at 38%. For the basis which includes FX reserves with maturities over two years, the calculated required reserve was allocated in RSD, at 30%. The allocations were made in these percentages throughout the reporting period.

As at 31 December 2020, the calculated RSD required reserve, the amount of which had to be maintained in the gyro account from 18 December 2020 to 17 January 2021 totalled RSD 4,711,074 thousand and was in compliance with said Decision of the National Bank of Serbia.

In 2020, the required RSD reserve was calculated at the following unchanged rates:

• 5% – applicable to the amount of RSD liabilities with agreed maturities of up to two years;

• 0% – applicable to the amount of RSD liabilities with agreed maturities of over two years;

The National Bank of Serbia pays interest to banks on the amount of the actual average daily balance of the allocated RSD required reserve in the reporting period, up to the amount of the calculated RSD required reserve.

The interest rate payable by the National Bank of Serbia throughout 2020 was 0.75% p.a. from January to 17 March, then it was reduced and equalled 0.5% from 18 March to 17 April, from 18 April to 17 June it equalled 0.25% and from 18 June up to the end of 2020, it was 0.1% p.a.

In 2020, the required FX reserve was calculated at the following unchanged rates:

• 20% – applicable to the amount of FX liabilities with agreed maturities of up to two years;

• 13% – applicable to the amount of FX liabilities with agreed maturities of over two years;

• 100% – applicable to the amount of RSD liabilities with the currency clause index, irrespective of maturity.

In 2020, the calculated required reserve allocated in foreign currency in percentage terms remained unchanged throughout the year. Allocated reserves in foreign currency amounted to:

• 62% of the amount calculated on foreign currency liabilities and currency clause-indexed liabilities with agreed matur- ities of up to two years,

• 70% the amount calculated on foreign currency liabilities and currency clause-indexed liabilities with agreed maturities of over two years.

As at 31 December 2020, the calculated FX required reserve, the amount of which had to be maintained from 18 December 2020 to 17 January 2021 was EUR 50,928 thousand.

The National Bank of Serbia does not pay any interest on the amount of the average balance of the allocated foreign currency reserve. 17. RECEIVABLES AND LIABILITIES UNDER DERIVATIVES

In 2020, the Bank earned interest income on investments in securities held for trading in the amount of RSD 83,307 thousand (2019: RSD 42,440 thousand).

Securities within the Bank’s portfolio are remeasured every ten days. A number of days remaining to maturity is considered for each security and the pricing is performed by interpolation of the interest rates applied according to the number of days to ma- turity.

Interest rate input data for remeasurement of securities are obtained from Bloomberg and Reuters systems. The most recent interest rate on securities in the auctions held by the Ministry of Finance are obtained from Bloomberg. Interest rates for RSD se- curities with maturities below 3 months and EUR securities with maturities below 12 months are obtained from the Reuters system (Reuter’s interbank interest rates) as follows:

- Overnight and 2-week rates are applied to RSD securities,

- Overnight rate increased by annual CDS of the Republic of Serbia expressed in USD (YCCD2104) is applied to EUR securities.

The prices made are imported into the Bank’s information system where each price is multiplied by the par value of the security and divided by 100. The value arrived at in this manner represents the security’s current value.

The fair value is obtained by deducting the sum of the cost and deferred discount value from the securities current value. 19. LOANS AND RECEIVABLES DUE FROM BANKS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

The Bank made the following provisions:

(in RSD ‘000) 31 December 2020 31 December 2019 Provisions for losses on guarantees 85,384 79,446 Provisions per unsecured letters of credit 42 679 Provisions per long-term commitments 10,052 13,368 Total provisions for losses per off-balance sheet assets 95,478 93,493 Provisions for litigations and disputes 263,047 205,051 Provisions for termination benefits - 50 Provisions for retirement benefits 53,049 54,149 Provisions for bonuses 32,417 32,971 348,513 292,221 Balance as at 31 December 443,991 385,714 a) Provisions per losses from guarantees, other contingent liabilities and termination/retirement benefits:

The Bank made provisions for losses on off-balance sheet items charged to expenses, in line with its business policy.

Provisions for other contingent liabilities, amounting to RSD 263,048 thousand were made based on the calculation of a potential loss that would be incurred by the Bank in respect of a probable outcome of a lawsuit.

Provisions for termination benefits were not made in 2020 (the 2019 provisions amounted to RSD 50 thousand).

In accordance with these decisions and the Bank’s Labour Rulebook, the Executive Board drafted a redundancy programme, which was submitted to the National Employment Agency. These measures aimed at headcount reduction will be implemented observing the corporate social responsibility principle. The priority is to reach an agreement with employees, i.e. to match the headcount with the reduced number of jobs through voluntary termination of employment or an annex to the employment contract for re- assignment to new jobs within the Bank. In accordance with these decisions, in 2020, termination benefits totalling RSD 25,941 thousand were paid to the employees whose employment contracts were terminated (2019: RSD 20,889 thousand).

Provisions for retirement benefits were formed based on the independent actuary’s report as at the reporting date, and they are recognised in the amount of the present value of expected future payments.

The starting assumptions for the said calculation were as follows:

- Data on employees (total years of service as at 31 December 2020, gender, age)

- Mortality rate tables: 2010-2012

- Assumed gross salary growth rate: 0%

- Interest rate: 3.5%

- Salaries paid by ADDIKO BANK in 2020 per employee,

The Labour Law (RS Official Gazette no. 75/2014) stipulates an obligation of the employer to pay a retirement benefit to the re- tiring employee in the minimum amount of two average salaries of the employee, whereby the amount of such retirement benefit may not be below two average salaries paid per employee in the Republic of Serbia, according to the latest available data pub- lished by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia. 28.

The aggregate value of all lawsuits, excluding interest, filed against the Bank in 2020 amounts to EUR 35,972 thousand (RSD 4,344,210 thousand). In 2019 this amount was EUR 37,065 thousand (RSD 4,358,577 thousand).

The Bank has adopted a procedure for performance assessment of passive legal proceedings and court cases and for the definition of provisions for the legal risk arising from these proceedings.

Performance assessment of passive legal proceedings is made based on:

- Legal merits of the claim;

- Legal analysis of the course of every court case;

- Consideration of facts and evidence presented in the course of the proceedings by the counterparty and facts and evidence pre- sented or which may be presented by the Bank and mutual dependence and connection of such facts and evidence;

- Customary jurisprudence in the same or similar court cases;

- If a lawsuit is conducted by an attorney hired by the Bank, the performance assessment will take into account his/her opinion as well; exceptionally, in very complex cases, the Bank’s unit in charge of the case at hand may seek an external legal opinion on the success of the case even if it is not conducted by an attorney, but by the Bank;

- Possibility to reach court or out-of-court settlement with the counterparty;

- Rules and conditions for provisioning as set out in the International Accounting Standard – IAS 37;

- Other elements that may affect the Bank’s success in a court case.

Performance assessment of passive legal cases is carried out after lawsuit reception, at case entry into the Legal Database, and provisions are allocated at quarterly level, not later than on the last day of the month prior to expiry of the calendar quarter.

The assessment is done based on legal and factual state at the assessment day.

The Bank was also involved in a number of lawsuits filed against third parties mostly in an attempt to collect receivables. All the Bank’s receivables claimed before court have been impaired in accordance with the Bank’s methodology and charged to the Bank’s expenses. 29. OTHER LIABILITIES

At the end of each accounting period, the Bank calculates provisions for commitments and contingent liabilities. The amount rec- ognised as a provision is the best estimate of an outflow of resources required to settle the existing liabilities as at the reporting date. Breakdown of provisions per off-balance sheet items is presented in Note 28.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Within off-balance sheet items derivatives are presented as receivables and liabilities under FX swaps. Swaps represent contracts between two parties on exchange of payments in a period, with amounts of payments depending on the change of a relevant index, such as an interest rate or an exchange rate.

Derivatives, including FX contracts, FX swaps and other derived financial instruments, are initially recognised at fair value within the off-balance sheet items on the contract execution date and are subsequently remeasured at fair value.

Derivatives are initially recognised at the moment when derivative contract has been agreed with the counterparty (date of agreement). The notional amount of principal to which the respective derivative is agreed is carried as an off-balance sheet item.

The positive or negative change of fair value of the derivative is carried within assets or liabilities, as shown in Note 17. 35. EXCHANGE RATES

The official middle exchange rates of the National Bank of Serbia, determined in the interbank foreign exchange market and used in the translation of the statement of financial position components denominated in foreign currencies into RSD as at 31 December 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

Poslovanje u 2020. godini obeleženo je pandemijom koronavirusa i pre svega izazovima u domenu bezbednosti i zdravlja kako zaposlenih tako i klijenata kao i izazovima vezanim za održivost kontinuiteta poslovanja. Prioritet nam je bila bezbednost svih i veoma smo ponosni na način na koji smo reagovali i prilagodili način poslovanja.

Uprkos svim nametnutim okolnostima rezultat koji smo ostvarili je pozitivan i veoma smo ponosni na sve ostvareno. I u ovoj situaci- ji Addiko tim je pokazao da brzo može da odgovori na sve zahteve koji se pred nas postave i da smo napravili agilnu i posvećenu or- ganizaciju. U tim teškim trenucima pokazali smo izuzetnu solidarnost, timski duh i kolegijalnost. Isto tako trudili smo se da potrebe klijenata budu uvek na prvom mestu uprkos svemu. Sve vreme tokom pandemije virusa Covid-19 klijenti su imali na raspolaganju sve proizvode i usluge Addiko banke, kako kad su u pitanju fizička tako i pravna lica. Osim toga olakšice za građane koje su doneli moratorijumi značajno su klijentima pomogle da stabilizuju svoje finansije. Sa druge strane mala i srednja preduzea su dobila značajan izvor finansiranja kroz garancijske šeme. Takođe, trudili smo se da budemo nesebični i da u teškim okolnostima pokažemo empatiju prema zajednici u kojoj poslujemo tako da smo novac namenjen internim proslavama i novogodišnjim poklonima donirali za potrebe borbe protiv koronavirusa i za podršku rada Nacionalne organizacije za borbu protiv retkih bolesti. Addiko brend je već duži niz godina prepoznat kao lider u domenu digitalne transformacije tako da smo i ove godine nastavil taj trend. I pored svega uspeli smo da naš mobilni eko-sistem nadogradimo još jednim digitalnim proizvodom – mRačunom. Otvaranje računa uz pomoć video identifikacije obavlja se jednostavno i u rekordnom roku. O posvećenosti digitalnoj transformaciji govori i podatak da godinu završavamo sa učešćem digitalnih kanala u rezultatu od preko 30 odsto, a da se preko 90 odsto transakcija obavi digitalnim putem.

U toku 2020. godine napredak je ostvaren u segmentima koji su u fokusu poslovanja Addiko banke, finansiranje građana, i u okviru poslovanja sa malim i srednjim preduzećima. U domenu gotovinskih kredita smo ostvarili rast od 7 odsto, a u SME segmentu smo povećali portfolio za 35 odsto tokom 2020. godine i time potvrdili strateski pravac Addiko banke kao specijalizovane banke u ovim segmentima.

Addiko banka će nastaviti i u narednom periodu da prati svoj strateški pravac banke specijaliste za finansiranje građana i SME segmenta kao i digitalnog lidera na bankarskom tržištu.
