Based on the SREP decisions of prior years, the Company and the Bank were under a regulatory prohibition for equity dividend distribution and therefore no dividends were declared or paid during years 2019 and 2018. Following the 2019 SREP decision, which will continue to be
in effect in 2021, the Company and the Bank are still under equity dividend distribution prohibition. This prohibition does not apply if the distributions are made via the issuance of new ordinary shares to the shareholders which are eligible as CET1 capital
Including phasing in of O-SII buffer (+50 bps). The Central Bank of Cyprus (CBC) set the O-SII buffer for the Group at 2%. This buffer will be phased-in gradually, having started from 1 January 2019 at 0.5% and increased by 0.5% every year thereafter, until being fully implemented
on 1 January 2022. In April 2020 the CBC, as part of the COVID measures, decided to delay the phasing-in by 12 months (1 January 2023). As a result, the phasing-in of 0.5% on 1 January 2021 has been delayed for 12 months
