Oesterreichische Volksbanken-AG (VBAG) participated in the EU-wide
bank stress test conducted by the European Banking Authority (EBA).
VBAG´s unstressed, baseline core tier I ratio as of 31 December 2010
is 6.4%. In the simulated worst case scenario the core tier I ratio
would be 4.5% as of 31 December 2012 which is 0.5 percentage points
below the benchmark defined by EBA. Taking into account the measures
that are currently being implemented, the core tier I ratio as of
31.12.2012 is 6.6%. When capital instruments which are loss-absorbing
according to the Austrian banking law are also fully factored in, the
stressed tier I ratio is 9.8%.
