Pursuant to statutory provisions, the Management Report and the Group Management Report have been audited as to whether they are consistent with the separate and Consolidated Financial Statements and have been prepared in accordance with the applicable legal requirements. The Consolidated Non-Financial Report was read and considered not to be materially inconsistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements nor to be materially misstated.

The separate Financial Statements of Addiko Bank AG were prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Austrian Banking Act (BWG) and - where applicable - with the provisions of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB). The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Addiko Group were prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU and in compliance with the requirements under Section 245a Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) and Article 59a Austrian Banking Act (BWG). The Annual Report, the Group Annual Report, the Consolidated Corporate Governance Report, the Consolidated Non-Financial Report and the Management Board's proposal for the allocation of the annual profit 2022 - all prepared by the Management Board - were discussed in detail with KPMG Audit Wirtschaftsprüfungs GmbH at the meeting of the Audit and Compliance Committee held on 2 March 2023.

At the meeting, the aforementioned Committee inter alia resolved to propose approval of the separate Financial Statements of Addiko Bank AG by the Supervisory Board.

The Chairwoman of the Audit, Compliance and AML Committee reported on the Committee's recommendations at the meeting of the Supervisory Board on 3 March 2022. At this meeting, the separate and Consolidated Financial Statements were examined thoroughly in the presence of the auditor and verified by the Supervisory Board to ensure, in particular, that they were lawful, compliant and appropriate.

The Management Report of Addiko Bank AG as well as that of the Addiko Group, the Consolidated Corporate Governance Report and the Consolidated Non-Financial-Report were examined and found, in the opinion of the Supervisory Board, to be consistent with legal requirements.

Pursuant to Austrian GAAP in connection with the Austrian Banking Act, Addiko Bank AG generated net accumulated profits in the amount of EUR 31.3 million in the financial year 2022, which includes the communicated 2021 balance sheet profit of EUR 38.8 million (carried forward to the financial year 2022. The Management Board of the Addiko Bank AG intends to propose to the upcoming General Assembly on 21 April 2023 a dividend proposal of EUR 23.6 million equivalent to EUR 1.21 per share. The dividend proposal is based on the currently valid dividend policy of distributing 60% of the group result, and also includes a distribution of 60% the group result for the year 2021, which follows the decision on the rejection of the so-called Swiss Franc Law by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Slovenia. The remaining amount of EUR 7.7 million shall be carried forward to the balance sheet of the following year.

The result of the examination is that the Supervisory Board had no objections to the separate Financial Statements, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the audit performed by the auditor.

The Supervisory Board, therefore, concurred with the results of the audit on 3 March 2022 and approved the separate Financial Statements of Addiko Bank AG. The separate Financial Statements have, therefore, been adopted. In addition, the Supervisory Board reviewed the separate consolidated non-financial report. The consolidated financial statements were noted by the Supervisory Board.
