The Bank, within the framework of rewarding the efforts and the achievements of the Group’s employees, and given the Group’s continued very strong performance and expansion, will distribute free shares to employees. The shares will be issued from a share capital increase through capitalizing an equal amount of taxed reserves formed up to the year ended 31.12.2005. Due to the fact that the share capital increase is in favor of the employees, there is no matter arising with respect to the exercise of preemptive rights by other shareholders, according to art. 13 par. 10 (e) of the c.l. 2190/1920.

Specifically, the share capital will increase by €467,500, through the issue at par of 170,000 new shares of nominal value €2.75 per share, by capitalizing an equal amount of the Bank’s taxed reserves formed up to the year ended 31.12.2005.

The new shares will be entitled to participate to the profits of the financial year 2007, with the exception of the interim dividend for the year 2007, and will be distributed free to employees of the Bank and its subsidiaries, who contribute through their individual and team performance to the success of the above mentioned entities, taking also into account the position and the functional level of responsibility of each person. The Board of Directors will allocate the above mentioned shares, within the above framework, and will be able to authorize further the Board of Directors’ Remuneration Committee to this effect.

As a result of the above mentioned share capital increase, article 5 of the Bank’s Articles of Association will be amended. The Bank’s total paid-in share capital amounts to €1,436,732,594 divided into 522,448,216 registered shares, of nominal value €2.75 per share.
