   Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad joins Erste Group from Bitpanda as Executive
   Director Group Asset Management

     • Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad will join Erste Group in the first quarter
       of 2027 in a newly created group-wide leadership role, reporting
       directly to CEO Peter Bosek
     • He will hold group-wide responsibility for driving an integrated asset
       management and digital investing strategy across Erste Group's eight
       core markets and 23 million customers.
     • Peter Bosek: “Lukas epitomizes a pioneering spirit and brings a wealth
       of expertise in simplifying investments, which is essential to
       engaging younger generations. He will play a key role in making our
       offering intuitive and attractive across all our markets.”

   Erste Group is pleased to announce the appointment of Lukas
   Enzersdorfer-Konrad as Executive Director Asset Management, a newly
   created group-wide role reporting directly to CEO Peter Bosek. In this
   position, he will be responsible for driving an integrated investing and
   asset management strategy across the Group. Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad
   joins from Bitpanda, where as CEO, he led the transformation of the retail
   crypto broker into a highly regulated investment and trading platform
   serving more than seven million users across 45 markets. He will work
   closely with newly appointed CEO of Erste Asset Management, Robert Kubin,
   to further drive innovation in investment solutions and ensure a
   consistent, digitally-led investing approach across Erste Group’s eight
   markets and its 23 million customers.

   Peter Bosek, CEO of Erste Group said: "I am thrilled that we have been
   able to attract Lukas to Erste Group. He epitomizes a pioneering spirit
   and brings a wealth of expertise in making investing simpler and more
   accessible, which is key to engaging the next generation of investors.
   Young people are investing earlier and more actively than previous
   generations, driven in part by a growing awareness of the need to secure
   their financial future. As their expectations continue to evolve, our
   offering must grow with them. Lukas will play a key role in making our
   offering intuitive and attractive across all our markets and in helping
   more people across Central Europe make the shift from saving to
   investing.”

   Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad said: “Over the past eight years, I've seen
   firsthand how quickly people's expectations of investing can change once
   you make it simple, transparent, and accessible. Erste Group has something
   few institutions in this space can match: direct, trusted relationships
   with 23 million customers and one of Europe's most-used banking platforms
   in George. I'm excited to bring that experience together with Erste's
   scale and regional reach to build the leading investment offering in
   Central and Eastern Europe.”

   Before taking over as CEO of Bitpanda in August 2025, Lukas
   Enzersdorfer-Konrad held a series of senior leadership roles at the
   company, including Deputy CEO, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Product
   Officer. Since joining Bitpanda in 2018, he also built and scaled its
   institutional infrastructure business and was instrumental in establishing
   the Group's regulatory footprint, including licensed entities in Austria
   and Germany. Prior to these roles, he held positions at Raiffeisen, zeb
   consulting and Erste Group. He holds an MSc in Banking & Finance from WU
   Vienna and studied at Baruch College in New York. Lukas
   Enzersdorfer-Konrad appointment is still subject to customary regulatory
   approvals.
