Comparative figures for Aktia Groups Interim reports 1 January 2012–30 June
2013 and Financial statements 1 January–31 December 2012

The former parent company of the Aktia Group, Aktia plc, merged with its
wholly-owned subsidiary Aktia Bank plc on 1 July 2013. Following the merger,
Aktia Bank plc has become the parent company of the Group. The merger is part
of the Aktia Group’s Plan of Action 2015, which aims to simplify the structure
of the Group and increase cost-effectiveness within administration, processes
and common functions.

Effect of the merger on the Group’s financial position

Because the merger took place within the Group and Aktia plc owned 100% of the
shares in Aktia Bank plc, the merger had no direct effect on the results for
the Aktia Group. Nor did the merger have any effect on the Aktia Group’s
balance-sheet total or total equity.

The new Group structure, with Aktia Bank plc as the parent company for the
Group’s insurance operations also, affected the Bank Group’s capital adequacy
as of 1 July 2013 by –0.9 percentage points and its Tier 1 capital ratio by
–0.4 percentage points.

Comparative figures for the Group Aktia Bank plc

The merger of the Group’s former parent company brought no significant changes
to the Aktia Group’s financial position or operating activities. The
comparative figures in this interim report have been compiled so that the
financial information for the present Group with Aktia Bank plc as its parent
can be compared with the same, completely equivalent financial information that
was published in earlier periods when Aktia plc was the parent company for the
Group. Starting with Aktia Bank plc’s Interim report 1-9/2013 comparative
figures will be included according to this principle. The comparative figures
will vary from earlier figures reported by Aktia Bank plc, as Aktia Bank plc
was not parent company of the Aktia Group earlier.

Aktia Bank plc’s Interim report 1 January–30 September 2013 will be published
on 7 November 2013.

The tables below show comparative figures for the Group Aktia Bank plc’s income
statement, key figures and balance sheet for previous periods.
