The Fund\u2019s financial performance<\/b><br \/><b>Interest income:<\/b> During the 9 month period ended September 30th<br \/>, 2014 interest income<br \/>amounted to \u20ac 58.6m versus \u20ac 148.6m in the respective period in 2013. The decrease in<br \/>interest income versus 2013 is due to the decrease of the outstanding amount of European<br \/>Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) bonds held by the Fund after the completion of the systemic<br \/>banks\u2019 recapitalization in the end of June 2013.<br \/><b>Personnel expenses:<\/b> During the 9 month period ended September 30th<br \/>, 2014 personnel expenses amounted to \u20ac 2m versus \u20ac 1.8m during the same period in 2013. In September 30th, 2014 the Fund\u2019s personnel amounted to 33, whereas in September 30<br \/>th, 2013 it amounted to 22.<br \/><b>General administrative and other operating expenses:<\/b> During the 9 month period ended<br \/>September 30th , 2014 operating expenses amounted to \u20ac 16.7m versus \u20ac 10.3m in the<br \/>respective period in 2013. The main reason for the increase in operating expenses were<br \/>the fees for the fairness opinions rendered by investment banks, in compliance with the<br \/>legal requirement as per the latest amendment of the law in April 2014, for the systemic<br \/>banks\u2019 share capital increases, which amounted to \u20ac 6.6m.<br \/><b>Cash and balances with Central Bank:<\/b> As of September 30th<br \/>, 2014 cash and deposits in Bank of Greece stood at \u20ac 625.3m versus \u20ac 488.7m as of December 31st, 2013.<br \/><b>Investment securities: <\/b>As of September 30th<br \/>, 2014 the portfolio of the EFSF bonds remained<br \/>unchanged from December 31st, 2013 at \u20ac 10,932.9m in nominal terms.<br \/><b>Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss:<\/b> As of September 30th, 2014 the market value of the Fund\u2019s equity portfolio of the four systemic banks\u2019 amounted to \u20ac 17.0bn versus\u20ac 22.5bn as of December 31st, 2013. This has further declined to \u20ac 13bn in December 10th,2014, due to the continuing market volatility of the Athens stock exchange.<br \/><b>Receivables from banks under liquidation:<\/b> During the 9 month period ended in September<br \/>30th, 2014 the Fund collected via the liquidation process a total amount of \u20ac 40m in cash.\u00a0<span style=\"color: inherit; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;\">The estimated recoverable amount of the funding gap, which has been covered by the Fund\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: inherit; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;\">instead of the HDIGF, amounted to \u20ac 2,792m as of September 30th,<\/span><span style=\"color: inherit; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;\">\u00a02014 versus \u20ac 2,853m as\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: inherit; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;\">of December 31st<\/span><span style=\"color: inherit; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;\">, 2013.

Systemic Banks\u2019 overview<\/b><br \/>i<b>) EBA\/SSM Comprehensive Assessment : AQR and Stress Test Results<\/b><br \/>In October 26th, 2014 the ECB and the EBA announced the results of the Comprehensive<br \/>Assessment. This exercise comprised both an Asset Quality Review (AQR) and a Stress<br \/>Test in which the capital adequacy of banks under review was tested under different<br \/>stress scenarios, and measured against minimum threshold levels in each scenario. Under<br \/>the static balance sheet &#8211; adverse scenario \u2013 assumption, the aggregate capital shortfall<br \/>for the Greek Banks amounted to \u20ac 8.7bn (Alpha: \u20ac 0bn, Eurobank \u20ac 4.7bn, NBG \u20ac 3.4bn,<br \/>and Piraeus \u20ac 0.7bn). However, taking into account the effect of net capital raising<br \/>actions that took place in 2014 the remaining aggregate capital shortfall amounted to<br \/>approximately \u20ac 2.7bn (Piraeus: \u20ac 0bn, Eurobank \u20ac 1.76bn, and NBG \u20ac 0.93bn). Greek<br \/>banks were also assessed under the dynamic balance sheet assumption (taking into<br \/>account the restructuring plans that were approved by DG-COMP after January 1<br \/>st, 2014), resulting into NBG having no shortfall and Eurobank with practically no shortfall.<br \/><b>ii) Deferred Tax Asset Scheme<\/b><br \/>A law (L. 4303\/2014, Government Gazette 231\/17.10.2014) was voted by the Greek<br \/>Parliament amending article 27A of law 4172\/2013. Article 27A deals with the voluntary<br \/>conversion of the deferred tax assets (DTA) on temporary differences, deriving from PSI<br \/>and allowances for loan losses, to a definitive and cleared tax credit (DTC) against the<br \/>Greek State. DTCs held by the banks give rise to a direct refund right from the State.<\/p>\n<p>Alpha, Eurobank, and NBG held General Meetings in November 7th, 2014 in order to<br \/>approve the banks\u2019 participation in the DTA Scheme and the Fund granted its approval.<br \/>An EGM of Piraeus is scheduled in December 19th, 2014 to approve the bank\u2019s participation in the DTA scheme.<br \/><b>Alpha Bank<\/b><br \/>In June 2014 HFSF had provided Alpha with its consent to acquire Citibank\u2019s Greek Retail<br \/>Banking business as well as Diners Club of Greece, together with the associated receivables,<br \/>assets under management, deposits, customer relationships as well as branches, employees<br \/>and infrastructure. The acquisition was completed by the end of September.<\/p>\n<p>Alpha, with the consent of HFSF, launched in September a Voluntary Separation Scheme<br \/>(VSS). A total number of 2,200 employees participated in the VSS. As a result of that Alpha<br \/>will have an annual cost saving of approximately \u20ac 120m while the one-off cost of the VSS is<br \/>approximately \u20ac 195m.<\/p>\n<p><b>Eurobank<\/b><br \/>In the context of the Law 3864\/2010, HFSF announced on April 4th, 2014 that it would enter<br \/>into a new Relationship Framework Agreement (RFA) with Eurobank, in the event that<br \/>private sector participation exceeded 50% of the share capital increase of Eurobank that<br \/>took place in April 2014. The new RFA between Eurobank and the HFSF was signed in August<br \/>2014.<\/p>\n<p><b>National Bank of Greece<\/b><br \/>In September 2014 HFSF provided its consent to NBG in order for Finansbank to proceed<br \/>with a Share Capital Increase (SCI) without pre-emption rights of existing shareholders, by<br \/>means of a public offering. Based on the restructuring plan NBG is required to reduce its<br \/>shareholding in Finansbank so that its share ownership represents no more than 60% by the<br \/>end of 2015. In November 2014 NBG, following HFSF\u2019s approval, announced that it will also<br \/>proceed with a secondary offering of existing shares in Finansbank corresponding to<br \/>approximately 2.25% of the paid-in capital of Finansbank post the SCI and with the granting<br \/>of an overallotment option. The total stake offered through the SCI, the secondary offering<br \/>and the overallotment option will not exceed 26.9%.<\/p>\n<p>In September 2014 NBG announced the signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement for Astir<br \/>Palace Vouliagmeni S.A., between the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund S.A.<br \/>(HRADF) in their capacity as sellers, Apollo Investment HoldCo in its capacity as the buyer,<br \/>and Jermyn Street Real Estate Fund IV L.P. in its capacity as guarantor.<\/p>\n<p>In October 2014 NBG announced the results of the mandatory tender offer for the<br \/>acquisition of the total common registered shares of MIG REIC, which was approved by the<br \/>HFSF. Following completion of the transfer of the tendered shares, NBG Pangaea REIC holds<br \/>13,605,064 shares in aggregate, representing approximately 96.67% of the total paid-up<br \/>share capital and voting rights of MIG REIC.<\/p>\n<p>In October 2014 NBG announced the acquisition of 5% of the voting common shares of<br \/>Finansbank from International Finance Corporation (IFC), upon exercise of IFC\u2019s relevant<br \/>right (put option) and in accordance with the agreement between them of March 29th<br \/>, 2007. NBG paid a total consideration of $ 343m bringing NBG\u2019s stake to 99.81%.<\/p>\n<p><b>Piraeus Bank<\/b><br \/>In July 2014 Piraeus\u2019 second warrants exercise took place. There were 4,951,260 warrants<br \/>exercised and 22,160,707 actual shares exchanged, with the Fund receiving \u20ac 39m. Following<br \/>the exercise the HFSF shareholding in Piraeus bank declined from 67.3% to 66.9%.<\/p>\n<p>In August 14th 2014, Piraeus announced the sale of 100% of ATE Insurance to ERGO<br \/>Insurance Group, a subsidiary of Munich Re for a total consideration of \u20ac 90m subject to<br \/>customary net asset value adjustments upon closing. The transaction is subject to regulatory<br \/>approvals and envisaged to be completed by the end of 2014.<\/p>\n<p>In October 2014 the HFSF voted in favor of Piraeus merger by acquisition with Geniki Bank<br \/>and the completion of the transaction with the signing of the merger agreement. HFSF also<br \/>voted in favor of the cancelation of the \u20ac 750m Greek state preference shares of Law<br \/>3723\/2008 following their full repayment in May 2014, along with the corresponding<br \/>reduction of the share capital. Both actions were approved by Piraeus EGM in October 30th<br \/>,2014.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hfsf.odh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/announcement_20141211_en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Announcement<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hfsf.odh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/HFSF_Interim_January_September_2014_en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Q3 2014 Financial Statements<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hellenic Financial Stability Fund (HFSF) announces the issuance of its interim financial statements, for the nine month period ended September 30th, 2014.
