Recaps completed, state aid a key differentiating factor across banks


Greek banks have successfully completed their latest round of recaps. All four institutions avoided resolution as they
covered at least the baseline capital shortfalls identified by the ECB (€4.4 bn) using private sources; ALB and EURB were
able to cover the entirety of their capital needs privately.
The total capital shortfall identified by the ECB (€14.4 bn) was covered with €5.3 bn raised in the market, €3.7 bn of additional
internal measures (mainly LMEs) and €5.4 bn residual shortfall filled by the state (through common shares as well as contingent
capital). In total >60% or €9.0 bn of a total system-wide capital shortfall was covered through private sources.

Post the recaps, the sector’s private ownership increased to 62%-98% across banks (up across all banks). However, use of new
public funds at PIR and NBG implies increased state involvement (as per the recap law) and triggers further balance sheet
downsizing (in particular foreign units). ALB remains the only systemic Greek bank without any state aid. EURB screens as one with
the lowest level of share ownership; however, it continues to hold €950 mn of state preference shares which need to be repaid.

Recaps completed: €9.0 bn of €14.4 bn shortfall covered privately
Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research

The four systemic Greek banks have covered €9.0 bn (62%) of a total shortfall of €14.4 bn privately. The contribution of the private
sector is split between €5.3 bn covered by share capital increases (SCI), €3.0 bn coming from liability management exercises (LME)
and €0.7 bn from other capital action measures approved by the regulator. The aggregate amount raised through SCIs is between
the amounts of capital raised in the market in the two previous recap rounds (2013: c.€3 bn, 2014: c.€8 bn). In total the Greek banks
have seen a total sector recap of c.€66 bn over the last 3 years.

Private-sector participation reduced the need for public funds to c.€5.4, split broadly equally between NBG (€2.7 bn) and PIR (€2.7
bn). The state support came through a mix of common shares (25%, c.€1.4 bn) and contingent capital notes (75%, c.€4.1 bn). This
amount of state aid injected into the Greek banking sector came below the lower end of the recap line of credit of €10-25 bn agreed
under the third assistance program for Greece.

New shares issued at 0.3x-0.4x TBV, recap triggered 83%-99% dilution to former shareholders
The aggregate TBV of Greek banks stood at €20.5 bn at the end of 3Q15. Based on the capital measures (both dilutive and non-
dilutive), banks’ TBV will increase by c.€11 bn, on our estimates. The announced issue prices implied a valuation in a range of 0.3x-
0.4x TBV on a pro-forma basis (post money). The recap process consequently results in 83%-99% dilution to former shareholders.

Ownership structure: All banks avoid resolutions, two also avoid further state aid
Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research

The sector’s private ownership increased to >80% on average across all banks, comparing to 15% and 43% post capital hikes in 2013
and 2014, accordingly. State ownership is now the lowest for ALB and EURB, the two banks which succeeded in covering the entire
capital shortfall from private sources, falling from 68% and 35% down to 11% and 2%, respectively. ALB remains the only systemic
Greek bank without any state aid, given EURB will continue to hold 950 mn of state preference shares.

PIR and NBG will see their state ownership falling from 67% and 57% down to 26% and 38%, respectively. However, in contrast to
last two recap rounds, use of public funds implies increased state involvement and triggers further balance sheet downsizing at both
institutions. Pursuant to the recapitalization law (see Appendix 2 for more details) HFSF will maintain full voting rights and right to
nominate a board member with additional oversight powers at both PIR and NBG.

Reinforced capital serves as buffer against risks


High headline capitalization of the Greek banks should put the sector in a stronger position for dealing with operational headwinds
and reliance on DTCs in the capital structure, in our view. On our estimates, recaps lift average fully loaded CET1 by c.4.9 pp to
15.2% on a 3Q15 pro-forma basis. Despite balance sheet clean-up, we forecast, CET1 fully loaded to increase to c.16% and c.18% in
2016 and 2018, respectively. We forecast the sector to be loss making in 2015 on the back of higher loan loss provisions, and broadly
breaking even in 2016. The sector only becomes profit making, and hence startd generating book value, from 2017 onwards
according to our estimates. Our analysis assumes full recognition of DTCs and no changes to the current DTC legislation.

Balance sheet clean-up paves way for earnings recovery


With recaps completed, our central case incorporates a gradual recovery of profitability towards c.10% (ROTE) on an
underlying basis. The timing and scope of a recovery, however, is still uncertain, with risks both to the upside and downside.
We forecast the sector to break even in 2016, be modestly profit making in 2017 and reach normalized returns on a >3-year
view. Notably, we only see modest differences in the underlying profitability across banks given similarities in their business
models and exposures. On an individual level, we estimate ALB, EURB and PIR to reach c.9%-10% returns by 2019 (excluding
the payment of CoCos on state aid and assuming CET1 at 12% level).
Our forecasts (to 2019E) incorporate pressure on banks’ NII from falling volumes as the sector continues to de-lever (we only
assume c. one third of 2015 Greek deposit outflows to come back to the system), and a further decline in other revenues from
weaker trading as well as asset disposals triggered by new state-aid requirements. On the other hand, we see falling revenues being
partially offset by strict cost control (C/I estimated in the 50%-55% range by 2019) on the back of EU approved restructuring
programs and further cost optimization plans in the banks’ pipelines.

All in all, we expect the Greek banks to face meaningful headwinds in the near term, with asset quality screening as a key overhang.
In the medium-term, we see the sector achieving returns similar to that of the European average, although lagging the returns of
some of the regional EM markets (CEE, Turkey, Russia for example).

Valuation: Greek banks resume trading at a deep discount to European peers


The shares of Greek banks have fallen c.95% on average since the beginning of the year owing to elevated near-term risks as well as
dilution from the recent recap. Based on the announced issue prices of new shares, the Greek banks trade in the range of 0.3x-0.4x
on 3Q15 pro-forma TBV and at c.0.4x TBV in 2016E. This is considerably below that of their South European and EM peers, which
are trading at 0.8x. On a P/E basis, Greek banks trade at 4.9x 2019E earnings (excluding coupon payment) vs. 10.0x for South
European and 5.3x for EM banks on 2017 estimates. The valuation of the Greek banks comes in the context of them delivering
normalized returns of c.10% (ROTE) in 2019E vs. the South European, Pan European and EM averages of 8.4%, 9.8% and 14.4% for
2017E, respectively.

We expect the Greek banks to be only marginally profit making in 2017. However, on a medium-term view, the sector should be in a
position to offer more attractive returns, in our view. We forecast the banks to generate ROTE of c.6%-8% on a reported, and c.9%-
10% on underlying basis in 2019. This is on par with the European banks’ average of 10% on our 2017 estimates.

Our current forecasts that incorporate a delayed profit recovery for the Greek banking sector correspond to high P/E multiples for
Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research

the three banks when benchmarked against European and EM peers on a 2017E basis. By contrast, earnings expectations consistent
with a recovered 9%-10% ROTEs would put Greek banks on a “normalized” multiple of 4x-5x earnings, one of the lowest in Europe.

ROE/COE is our preferred valuation method for European banks


We use a ROE/COE valuation methodology for most of the European and EM banks in our coverage. Our analysis of expected
returns and valuations across Europe and EM regions reveals a clear correlation between P/TBV multiples and forecast ROTE.

Exhibit 18: Greek banks under our coverage trade at a deep discount to the EUR/EM peers, driven by remaining concerns over
asset quality and subdued profitability in the near term; we estimate they will achieve c.10% returns by 2019E on underlying basis

Our review of returns and valuations for the Greek banks over the past ten years shows a similar correlation. Notably, the

relationship holds true for 2004-08, when P/BV multiples often exceeded 2.5x, as well as the more recent stressed period, when
multiples were often below 1x.

Valuation methodology: Our 12-month price targets imply a fair P/TBV multiple of 0.6x
Our 12-month forward price targets for the Greek banks are derived using a ROTE/COE-based valuation methodology. We use a
2019E valuation as our reference point in order to capture recovery of the banks’ earnings and adjust underlying profitability further
to exclude costs of remaining state-aid. Our individual price targets are adjusted to reflect each bank’s capital position (we use a
fully loaded CET1 cut-off of 12% in 2019E) and are discounted back to reflect upside/downside on a 12-month forward basis (in line
with our coverage). Our 12-month price targets for Greek banks imply a fair P/TBV multiple of 0.6x.

We cross check our valuation approach by putting it in a historical context. The market capitalization implied by our 0.6x P/TBV fair
Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research

valuation of the Greek banks puts the aggregate market cap at c.€16-17 bn for the sector as a whole. Notably, this comes below a
trough market capitalization of €18 bn reported during 2H13-2014 (and <50% of peak levels reached in mid-2014).

December 7, 2015 Greece: Banks

System-wide shortfall: €4.4 bn in base, €14.4 bn in adverse scenario


This section together with exhibits is based on our extensive analysis of the Greek
banks’ capital shortfall as published in our previous report (see Stress test: Total recap
of €14.4bn at mid-point of GSe (€13.2bn), November 2, 2015).

Baseline: €4.4 bn shortfall to 9.5% CET1 (transitional)


ECB’s baseline scenario indicates a €4.4 bn system-wide shortfall that captures €18.1 bn
incremental asset impairments (cum AQR) and €9.0 bn in pre-provision profits over the 2.5-
year period until 2017E. Shortfalls are calculated against 9.5% CET1 (transitional) threshold.
Exhibit 49: ECB’s baseline scenario points to a system-wide capital shortfall of €4.4 bn that captures €18.1 bn incremental
loan losses (including €9.6 bn AQR adjustment) offset with €9.0 bn pre-provision profits; state prefs (€2.3 bn) are included...

Adverse: €14.4 bn shortfall to 8% CET1 (transitional)


ECB’s adverse scenario implies a €14.4 bn system-wide shortfall that reflects €26.7 bn
additional (cum AQR) and €3.7 bn in pre-provision profits over the 2.5-year period until
2017E. Shortfalls are calculated against 8.0% CET1 (transitional) threshold.
Exhibit 50: ... under the adverse case scenario, system-wide shortfall increases to €14.4 bn, driven by decline in PPP

Appendix 2: Recapitalization Framework

Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research 35


December 7, 2015 Greece: Banks

Framework: Limits dilution, leaves state with more active role


This section together with exhibits is based on our review of the Greek bank
recapitalization bill as published in our previous report (see Stress test: Total recap of
€14.4bn at mid-point of GSe (€13.2bn), November 2, 2015).
The Greek bank recapitalization bill has laid the foundation for capital hikes and ultimately
strengthens the position of HFSF against banks that received state aid. The recapitalization
framework: (1) allowed banks to cover part of the shortfall under the adverse case scenario
with contingent capital subscribed by HFSF, (2) confirmed eligibility of DTCs for capital
purposes and (3) postponed DTC-law implied dilution. On the other hand, (4) it allowed for
a selective bail-in of creditors even in case public funds are injected for precautionary
reasons, (5) left HFSF with full voting rights and right to nominate a board member with
additional oversight powers. We outline the key provisions of the law in the exhibit below.

Exhibit 58: Recapitalization framework provides the foundation for the capital hikes
Key provisions of the Bank Recapitalizations Law approved by the Hellenic Parliament

Private investor to cover at least base case capital needs via ABB structure
● The banks will need to cover at least base case capital shortfalls with private funds in order to avoid
resolution mechanism.
Private
Recaps ● Capital needs related to adverse case (“precautionary recap”) may be covered with public sector
funds (HFSF).
● The capital increase is to be structured as accelerated book build (ABB). Banks will be given 10 days
to approve the share offerings with recaps to be completed by the year end.

State to inject mix of common shares and CoCos


● HFSF stands ready to cover any residual shortfall with a combination of common shares and
convertible capital bonds (CoCos)
State-Aid:
Precautionary ● HFSF will supply 75 % of the capital needed via CoCos and 25 % in exchange for new common
shares the banks will issue.
● The share issue price for HFSF will be the same as for private investors under ABB, subject to
verification by independent valuator.

Bail-in possible even if public funds injected only for precautionary reasons
● Before any HFSF funds are deployed, bank liabilities including hybrids/prefs, sub-debt and senior
unsecured bonds can be bailed-in
State-Aid: ● The law gives the cabinet discretion (subject to BoG proposal, EC approval) to protect selected
Bail-in creditors on the grounds of financial stability, low level of public support (%RWAs) or significant level
of private sector involvement (% shortfall)
● Bailed-in instruments cannot be worse off than it would be the case under the bank
resolution/liquidation (as per BRRD).

HFSF to play more active and influential role going forward


● HFSF will have a full voting rights from the new shares it acquires (as opposed to veto rights on the
shares held by the fund currently)
● HFSF will retain a right to nominate one board representative who can call AGM, veto management’s
Corporate
compensation or other operation putting bank at risk (CFO appointments)
Governance
● HFSF will evaluate current corporate governance standards (including composition of BoD and BoD
committees) and propose relevant changes to the AGM.
● Banks will be obliged to have at least 3 independent board members, with no relation to Greek
banking sector over last 10 years

Eligibility of DTCs maintained, law-implied dilution risk postponed until 2016


Deferred ● DTCs will remain eligible as capital at the level reported as of 30 June 2015
Tax ● Automatic dilution under DTC-law (triggered by losses) is postponed from 2015 to 2016
Credits
● Banks may recognize tax shield on losses reported in 2Q as tax credit, subject to compensation to
the state (based on 100% tax credit balance and average share price)

The ECB stress test in 2015 was a third detailed study into the health and financial state of
the Greek banks since 2013, preceded by a Bank of Greece stress test in 2013 and a
European-wide Comprehensive Assessment carried out by the ECB in 2014. The results of
the 2015 stress test, resulting in a shortfall of €4.4 bn under the base and €14.4 bn under
the adverse case respectively, compare to the €5.8 bn and €8.8 bn shortfalls identified by
the BoG stress test in 2013. Importantly, the ECB Comprehensive Assessment in 2014
resulted in no shortfall for the Greek banks under a dynamic balance sheet assumption.

Exhibit 64: Capital shortfall of €4.4 bn and €14.4 bn identified in the 2015 stress test for base and adverse case
respectively compares to €5.8 bn and €8.8 bn in BoG stress test in 2013 and no shortfall in ECB 2014 stress test

The capital injection into Greek banks after the ECB stress test in 2015 is a third round of
recapitalization since 2013, with the first two rounds totaling €36.3 bn of new capital. In
2013, the banks were injected with €28 bn primarily as a result of losses incurred from PSI,
followed by €8.3 bn of recaps post the BoG stress test.

Exhibit 65: The capital injection into Greek banks after the ECB comprehensive assessment in 2015 is a third round of

Capital controls in Cyprus


The Cypriot authorities implemented capital controls on March 27, 2013 in order to
safeguard the stability of the country’s financial system. The measures were gradually
eased and finally lifted on April 6, 2015, more than two years after they were initially
implemented.

The introduction of capital controls occurred in the context of the rescue package agreed
between Cyprus and the Troika, first announced on March 17, 2013. The programme
included measures necessary to recapitalize the local banking sector.

As part of the programme, Cyprus agreed to introduce a one-off tax on deposits. The initial
proposal suggested a levy of 6.7% on deposit amounts of < €100k and a 9.9% tax on
deposit amounts of >€100k. Given disagreements over losses on small retail deposits, the
scheme was revised. The final agreement applied a 47.5% haircut to all balances >€100k
and incorporated a bail-in of equity holders, bond holders, and large deposits at Laiki Bank.

unwind

The case of Cyprus suggests that capital controls may create significant asset quality
headwinds in the near term. The imposed restrictions on access to deposits are likely to put
additional pressure on borrowers and may further erode the payment culture. In the case
of Cyprus, the NPL ratio increased from c.15% to 40% within one year of the introduction of
capital controls and peaked at 45% in 2014. This compares with a ratio of around 33%
reported in Greece last year, up from 25% in 1Q13.

Disclosure Appendix
Reg AC
We, Pawel Dziedzic and Markus Pops, hereby certify that all of the views expressed in this report accurately reflect our personal views about the
subject company or companies and its or their securities. We also certify that no part of our compensation was, is or will be, directly or indirectly,
related to the specific recommendations or views expressed in this report.

Unless otherwise stated, the individuals listed on the cover page of this report are analysts in Goldman Sachs' Global Investment Research division.

Investment Profile
The Goldman Sachs Investment Profile provides investment context for a security by comparing key attributes of that security to its peer group and
market. The four key attributes depicted are: growth, returns, multiple and volatility. Growth, returns and multiple are indexed based on composites
of several methodologies to determine the stocks percentile ranking within the region's coverage universe.
The precise calculation of each metric may vary depending on the fiscal year, industry and region but the standard approach is as follows:
Growth is a composite of next year's estimate over current year's estimate, e.g. EPS, EBITDA, Revenue. Return is a year one prospective aggregate
of various return on capital measures, e.g. CROCI, ROACE, and ROE. Multiple is a composite of one-year forward valuation ratios, e.g. P/E, dividend
yield, EV/FCF, EV/EBITDA, EV/DACF, Price/Book. Volatility is measured as trailing twelve-month volatility adjusted for dividends.

Quantum
Quantum is Goldman Sachs' proprietary database providing access to detailed financial statement histories, forecasts and ratios. It can be used for
in-depth analysis of a single company, or to make comparisons between companies in different sectors and markets.

GS SUSTAIN
GS SUSTAIN is a global investment strategy aimed at long-term, long-only performance with a low turnover of ideas. The GS SUSTAIN focus list
includes leaders our analysis shows to be well positioned to deliver long term outperformance through sustained competitive advantage and
superior returns on capital relative to their global industry peers. Leaders are identified based on quantifiable analysis of three aspects of corporate
performance: cash return on cash invested, industry positioning and management quality (the effectiveness of companies' management of the
environmental, social and governance issues facing their industry).

Ratings, coverage groups and views and related definitions


Buy (B), Neutral (N), Sell (S) -Analysts recommend stocks as Buys or Sells for inclusion on various regional Investment Lists. Being assigned a Buy
or Sell on an Investment List is determined by a stock's return potential relative to its coverage group as described below. Any stock not assigned as
a Buy or a Sell on an Investment List is deemed Neutral. Each regional Investment Review Committee manages various regional Investment Lists to a
global guideline of 25%-35% of stocks as Buy and 10%-15% of stocks as Sell; however, the distribution of Buys and Sells in any particular coverage
group may vary as determined by the regional Investment Review Committee. Regional Conviction Buy and Sell lists represent investment
recommendations focused on either the size of the potential return or the likelihood of the realization of the return.
Return potential represents the price differential between the current share price and the price target expected during the time horizon associated
with the price target. Price targets are required for all covered stocks. The return potential, price target and associated time horizon are stated in each
report adding or reiterating an Investment List membership.
Coverage groups and views: A list of all stocks in each coverage group is available by primary analyst, stock and coverage group at
http://www.gs.com/research/hedge.html. The analyst assigns one of the following coverage views which represents the analyst's investment outlook
on the coverage group relative to the group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Attractive (A). The investment outlook over the following 12
months is favorable relative to the coverage group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Neutral (N). The investment outlook over the
following 12 months is neutral relative to the coverage group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Cautious (C). The investment outlook over
the following 12 months is unfavorable relative to the coverage group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation.
Not Rated (NR). The investment rating and target price have been removed pursuant to Goldman Sachs policy when Goldman Sachs is acting in an
advisory capacity in a merger or strategic transaction involving this company and in certain other circumstances. Rating Suspended (RS). Goldman
Sachs Research has suspended the investment rating and price target for this stock, because there is not a sufficient fundamental basis for
determining, or there are legal, regulatory or policy constraints around publishing, an investment rating or target. The previous investment rating and
price target, if any, are no longer in effect for this stock and should not be relied upon. Coverage Suspended (CS). Goldman Sachs has suspended
coverage of this company. Not Covered (NC). Goldman Sachs does not cover this company. Not Available or Not Applicable (NA). The
information is not available for display or is not applicable. Not Meaningful (NM). The information is not meaningful and is therefore excluded.
