BANCO ESPÍRITO SANTO, S.A.


RELEASE CONCERNING BES' BALANCE SHEET AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2014


The financial statements of Banco Espírito Santo, S.A. ("BES") as at the date 31 December 2014 are disclosed on the date hereof.


For the reasons then disclosed in a release (http://www.bes.pt/Comunicados/20150807%20FR56735_uk.pdf ), the Individual Balance Sheet and the Notes as at 4 August 2014 could only be presented on 7 August 2015. In order to prepare then the financial statements concerning the entirety of the period of 2014, it was necessary to take into consideration and reflect all subsequent developments, arising not only from BES activity but also from changes in the legal framework and the clarifications and resolutions approved by Banco de Portugal during the year of 2014 and onwards.


Although the financial statements concerning the year of 2014 still have an important informative angle over the management of BES and its financial situation, the legal framework of the approval and control of the financial statements have very specific features in an institution subject to resolution.


It should also be highlighted that the management report and the remaining disclosed documents, including the Audit Report and the Statutory Audit Report, and the Report and Opinion of the Audit Commission, concern the entirety of the year 2014, which cover two distinct periods: the period which preceded the application of the resolution tool and the period in which BES' activity was carried out within the framework of said resolution tool. In particular, the disclosed financial statements integrate the accounting reflection of the transfer of assets, liabilities, off-balance sheet items and assets under



management, transferred to Novo Banco, the adjustments resulting from the independent evaluation and the adjustments made by BES' Board of Directors.


Lastly, it should also be highlighted that the financial statements have been approved in the Board of Directors' meeting held on 18 December 2015, and therefore do not take into consideration the events occurred after this date, in particular the resolutions approved yesterday by the Board of Directors of Banco de Portugal (which release may be consulted, in Portuguese language, in http://www.bportugal.pt/pt- PT/OBancoeoEurosistema/ComunicadoseNotasdeInformacao/Paginas/combp2015122 9-2.aspx).
