Prepared for tighter regulatory framework

- New regulatory requirements lead to higher risk charges (e.g. for market risk)

Able to withstand ongoing stressed economy

- Economic downturn has been simulated with various internal and external stress scenarios (e.g. CEBS)

› Capital adequacy ensured for 2012

- Even the stress case of our current planning scenario ensures a Tier 1 capital ratio within the 7 – 9% target corridor
