Agenda. NORD/LB at a glance 3 Financials 9 Segments 18 Outlook 30 Appendix 38 29
Outlook Achieved success by transformation programme One Bank. The results of One Bank are an important and valuable basis for the realignment of NORD/LB. Savings potentials of €275m were achieved. One Bank has identified 1,250 full-time equivalents for the necessary staff reductions, of which 230 have already been reduced (until year-end 2018) Since 2011, the shipping loan portfolio has been massively reduced by a total of over €9bn. This corresponds to a reduction of 860 financed ships. The Big Ben transaction also created the basis for the reduction of a further €2.6bn, which was carried out at the beginning of the second quarter of 2019 The former Bremer Landesbank is fully integrated. Customers and employees settled well at NORD/LB and most of the data has already been transferred With leaner loan processes in wholesale and retail business, we are creating the conditions for being able to operate our customer lending business efficiently and competitively tomorrow as well. Supplemented by process optimisations in staff and operating areas, profitability is increased in the long term. The new NORD/LB 2024 programme will bundle all this preparatory work and coordinate and advance the construction of the new NORD/LB 30

Outlook Outlook for 2019 and 2020. Markets and competition conditions remain challenging in 2019, especially in the field of interest-rate levels. In addition, regulatory aspects are demanding: Capital requirements for system-relevant banks will increase further The downsizing as well as the profound restructuring will tie up resources and cause high expenses. Therefore, NORD/LB expects high restructuring expenses for full year 2019. This is an investment in a new sustainable business model of the bank Regarding its positive operating business NORD/LB plans a profit before restructuring and taxes for full year 2019, however, we anticipate that the annual result after restructuring and taxes will be negative again The goal of the comprehensive new start is to return to profitability and generate profits again by 2020 at the latest 33

For this reason, the book values of the silent participations were written down by around 43 per cent as at 31 December 2018. A corresponding deduction was made for the capital notes issued by the Fürstenberg Capital companies − The balance sheet loss as at 31 December 2018 was neutralised by a partial release of the capital reserves in accordance with the resolution of the Owners' Meeting of 30 April 2019; there will therefore be no loss carried forward from 2018 to the 2019 annual results 1) Second last and last position as at 1 May 2019 38
