Institutional protection and deposit guarantee schemes of NORD/LB.

      Legal responsibility
                                         Basic protective measures to avoid bankruptcy
    Capital requirements                 The Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR , “Kapitaladäquanzverordnung”) is a EU
                                         regulation in banking containing requirements for capital adequacy under Basel III

                                         Institutional Protection Scheme of the Savings Banks Finance Group was founded
                                         in the 1970s
    Institutional Protection Scheme      Since July 2015 the Institutional Protection Scheme is recognised as a deposit
    of the Savings Banks Finance Group   guarantee scheme under Germany’s Deposit Guarantee Act (EinSiG)
                                         13 guarantee funds: of the Landesbanken (1), of the regional savings banks (11) and of
                                         the building associations (1)

                                         Bail-in of shareholders and creditors
                                         − Equity: Tier 1, AT 1, Tier 2, subordinated capital
    German Act on the Recovery and       − Liabilities: Senior unsecured and other (structured) liabilities
    Resolution of Credit Institutions    Excluded: i.a. deposits (under Deposit Guarantee Act: up to 100,000€/person), covered
                                         bonds as well as money market instruments

                                         The Single Resolution Mechanism (SRM) is augmented by the Single Resolution Fund
                                         (SRF), which can provide the financial resources needed for resolution.
    European Scheme                      European deposit guarantee scheme: The German banking industry defeats the
                                         proposed regulations of the EU commission. There is a compromise proposal from the
                                         EU parliament. But it is still quite uncertain, whether this proposal will come into effect.
