Note: For the fiscal year 2008, the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (on 30.04.2009) decided the distribution of dividend to the shareholders in the form of Bank shares, namely the distribution of one new common voting share with nominal value of 4,77€ each for every 47 old shares. This distribution corresponds to a net divident value of €0.10 per share with a right to dividend.
Pursuant to Laws 3723/2008, 3756/2009 and 3844/2010, banks participating in the Greek Economy Liquidity Support Program were prohibited by the Greek Government from declaring a cash dividend to the ordinary shareholders. Consequently no cash dividend was distributed for the fiscal years ranging from 2009 up until 2013.

(b) Following the increase of share capital (1 bonus share for every 4) in 2006 and the rights' issue in 2007
(c) Results according to IFRS
