PRESENTATION OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND OTHER INFORMATION

General

Financial information disclosed, inter alia, as at and for the years ended 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2022 is incorporated by reference in the Offering Circular.

BOCH's audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2023 (the "BOCH Consolidated 2023 Audited Financial Statements" and together with the BOCH Consolidated 2022 Audited Financial Statements, the "BOCH Consolidated Audited Financial Statements") were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS") and with those parts of the Irish Companies Act 2014 (as amended) applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.

The Bank's audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2023 (the "Bank Consolidated 2023 Audited Financial Statements") and the Bank's audited standalone financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2023 (together with the Bank Consolidated 2023 Audited Financial Statements and the Bank 2022 Audited Financial Statements, the "Bank Audited Financial Statements") were prepared in accordance with IFRS and with the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113.

The BOCH Consolidated Audited Financial Statements and the Bank Audited Financial Statements, in each case together with their respective accompanying notes and respective independent auditor's report, are incorporated by reference into the Offering Circular and should, in each case, be read in conjunction with their accompanying notes. The BOCH Consolidated Audited Financial Statements and the Bank Audited Financial Statements are together referred to as the "Audited Financial Statements".

Unless otherwise stated in the Offering Circular, financial information in relation to the Group referred to in, or incorporated by reference in, the Offering Circular has been extracted or derived without material adjustment from the BOCH Consolidated Audited Financial Statements, or has been extracted or derived from those of the Group's accounting records and its financial reporting and management systems that have been used to prepare that financial information.

Comparability of Financial Information

In the BOCH Consolidated 2023 Audited Financial Statements, restatements of 2022 comparative information were made to the primary financial statements and the respective notes following the adoption of IFRS 17 'Insurance Contracts' ("IFRS 17") which was applied retrospectively. On 1 January 2023, the Group adopted IFRS 17 and, as required by the standard, applied the requirements retrospectively with comparative information restated from the transition date of 1 January 2022. Upon transition on 1 January 2022, the Group's total equity and equity attributable to the owners of BOCH was reduced by €37,563 thousand, reflecting the aggregate impact of the present value of in force life insurance contracts (PVIF) elimination and remeasurement of insurance assets and liabilities, net of associated tax impact. Similarly, adjusting for the impact of IFRS 17 on the profit for the year ended 31 December 2022, the impact on the Group's total equity and equity attributable to the owners of BOCH as at 31 December 2022 as reported under IFRS 4 was reduced by €52,104 thousand, as restated under IFRS 17.

In addition, in the BOCH Consolidated 2023 Audited Financial Statements, 2022 comparative information was restated in the respective notes for the change in the definition of 'Turnover', the changes in the presentation of the segmental analysis and the remuneration disclosures relating to the members of the Board of Directors and key management personnel so as to exclude employer's contributions from the tables of fees and emoluments.

For a full description of the restatements, please refer to note 2.1 (Summary of accounting policies - Basis of preparation) and note 2.2 (Summary of accounting policies - Accounting policies and changes in accounting policies and disclosures) to the BOCH Consolidated 2023 Audited Financial Statements included in the Group Annual Financial Report 2023, which is incorporated by reference in the Offering Circular.

Other than the adoption of IFRS 17, the restatements did not have an impact on the financial results for the year or the equity of the Group.

In the Bank Consolidated 2023 Audited Financial Statements, restatements of 2022 comparative information were made to the primary financial statements and the respective notes following the adoption of IFRS 17. On 1 January 2023, the Bank Group adopted IFRS 17 and, as required by the standard, applied the requirements retrospectively with comparative information restated from the transition date of 1 January 2022. Upon transition on 1 January 2022, the Bank Group's total equity and equity attributable to the owners of the Bank was reduced by €37,563 thousand, reflecting the aggregate impact of the present value of in force life insurance contracts (PVIF) elimination and remeasurement of insurance assets and liabilities, net of associated tax impact. Similarly, adjusting for the impact of IFRS 17 on the profit for the year ended 31 December 2022, the impact on the Bank Group total equity and equity attributable to the owners as at 31 December 2022 as reported under IFRS 4 was reduced by €52,104 thousand, as restated under IFRS 17.

In addition, in the Bank Consolidated 2023 Audited Financial Statements, 2022 comparative information was restated in the respective notes for the change in the definition of 'Turnover', the changes in the presentation of the segmental analysis and the remuneration disclosures relating to the members of the Board of Directors and key management personnel so as to exclude employer's contributions from the tables of fees and emoluments.

Other than the adoption of IFRS 17, the restatements did not have an impact on the financial results for the year or the equity of the Bank Group.

Non-IFRS information and other statistics

The Offering Circular and this Supplement present or incorporate by reference certain financial measures that are not measures defined under IFRS, including regulatory capital, risk weighted assets, funding and other risk measures as well as non-IFRS performance measures (alternative performance measures). In addition, the Offering Circular and this Supplement present or incorporate by reference certain other operational statistics that are not measures of financial performance under IFRS. No non-IFRS information should be considered as an alternative to any IFRS financial measure. Such measures, as defined by the Group, may not be comparable to other similarly described measures used by other companies, as non- IFRS measures are not uniformly defined and other companies may calculate them in a different manner from the Group. The assumptions underlying the non-IFRS measures have not been audited in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) or any other generally accepted auditing standards. In evaluating the non-IFRS measures, investors should carefully consider the Audited Financial Statements incorporated by reference in the Offering Circular and this Supplement. Although certain of this data has been extracted or derived from the Audited Financial Statements incorporated by reference in the Offering Circular and this Supplement, this data has not been audited or reviewed by the independent auditors. The

6

Group believes that these non-IFRS measures are important aids to understanding the Group's performance, operations and capital position.

In the Offering Circular and the information incorporated by reference in the Offering Circular and this Supplement, these non-IFRS performance measures have the definitions as set out in the "Alternative Performance Measures Disclosures" section of the Group Annual Financial Report 2023, which is incorporated by reference in the Offering Circular.

Regulatory Framework and Supervision

"Recent Developments

In February 2024, the CBC revised its policy for the designation of credit institutions that meet the definition of O-SII institutions and the methodology for the determination of the O-SII buffer requirement for each credit institution. Based on such policy, the CBC continues to designate the Bank as an O-SII institution and from 4 April 2024 the O-SII buffer requirement has been set at 2.00 per cent. of the Bank's risk weighted assets, on an individual and consolidated basis. The O-SII buffer requirement of 2.00 per cent. of the Bank's risk weighted assets shall be fully phased in on 1 January 2026. As of 1 January 2024, the O-SII buffer stands at 1.875 per cent. of the Bank's risk weighted assets, increasing to 1.9375 per cent. of the Bank's risk weighted assets as of 1 January 2025, until being fully implemented on 1 January 2026."
