The total capital buffer shortfall as calculated by the EBA for Österreichische
Volksbanken-Aktiengesellschaft VBAG is 972 mn. EUR. This is a preliminary and
indicative figure which is subject to change on the basis of end September data
and will be reviewed by banks and supervisory authorities. It is the revised,
latter figure that will form the basis for any plans required to increase levels
of capitalisation in the period to June 2012. Furthermore EBA in its press
release yesterday takes into account the current restructuring process at VBAG
and its withdrawal from the CEE area which has been set in motion with the sale
of Volksbank International already. The board of directors of VBAG with these
and further measures is undertaking all efforts in order to realise the required
capital buffer per June 30, 2012.
