Outlook<br />

The Structured Financing division includes aircraft and ship financing, tax and<br />

special financing as well as project financing. In line with maturities, this business<br />

area will be phased out, new business has been halted with the submission of the<br />

EU notification. The Structured Financing division does not represent a strategic<br />

focus for the Bank for the future.<br />

The Corporate Banking division, which combines cooperation with our major<br />

industrial clients, will be ceded as an autonomous platform. In the last few years<br />

and taking a justifiable risk profile into consideration, it was not possible to<br />

achieve the necessary market depth and diversification.<br />

As a result of the modified demands of the markets and the Group<br />

focussing on its duties as a regional bank, we are withdrawing from<br />

certain Corporate/International Banking activities. The remaining areas of<br />

responsibility will be restructured together with Capital Markets and largely be<br />

organised product-oriented.<br />
