We believe that these two indicators stand for the good reputation and service level that our bank has constantly built and maintained over the years, under better or worse economic conditions. These accomplishments are due in part to the purchase and, more important, to the seamless integration of the consumer portfolio of Citibank Romania. However, the organic growth that has been and remains our core strategy had a similar contribution. For both positive developments, I would like to thank the Raiffeisen Bank team members for their outstanding professionalism and dedication. It was a year with a number of significant projects. While developing the business and improving our customer relationships, we managed to smoothly move our Headquarters into new premises. For over 1,700 employees (including the subsidiaries of the group in Romania), Sky Tower, a landmark building and the tallest in the country, together with the adjacent Office Tower building, are now the new working spaces. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that our subsidiary company Raiffeisen Leasing Romania purchased and integrated a EUR 30 million portfolio from ING Lease. We remained focused on cost control and resources conservation, hence the reduction on the cost base by 2%, although one-off expenses raised the expenditures for the year by 3%. The loan book grew by 5%, with more than EUR 1.2 billion new term loans granted to customers, out of which almost one third for private individuals. Asset quality remains a top priority for Raiffeisen Bank. We continue our prudent risk approach and early recognition of losses. While the NPL rate grew to 8.7% from 7.2% in 2012, it is still far below the market average. Our growth plans will be done by preserving the asset quality that we have today. In Retail banking revenues were up 4% yoy, supported by a 10% increase in loans and 18% in deposits. We are offering our banking services now to more customers (+100,000 yoy) while our penetration in electronic channels increased by double digit rate. Corporate banking had a declining loan portfolio (-2.5% yoy) and an increased deposit base (+14%yoy). Our efforts to build a solid base for revenues were visible, as we managed to grow by 2.5% our income. 3 www.raiffeisen.ro Foreword Our Proprietary business revenue was up 4%, mainly coming from our securities portfolio. We were well positioned and we benefited from the declining interest rate for RON. On the funding side, last year we issued a three year RON denominated bond (RON 225 mn, 5.5% coupon). As a consequence of all the above, the bank ended the year with a net profit of EUR 104 million, 18% more than the previous year. Although the financial result was positively affected by a one-off fiscal credit following the 2012 transition to IFRS , the adjusted result was still excellent, + 5% as compared to 2012. Sustainable management both of our financial activity as of our administrativ activity are for us an essential practice. To our business performance adds up our responsibility towards the environment, towards our employess, our customers and the communities we are a part of. Thus we foster volunteering for our employees, we invest in urban ecology, financial education, social services and promoting Romanian art and culture. We report not only about financial performance, but also about the impact of our community investments and our sustainable management practices. In a nutshell, we believe that we are well positioned for the challenges to come in 2014. On behalf of the Management Board, I would like to thank to our clients who constantly help us improve our performance, to our colleagues, for resilience and professionalism, and to all our stakeholders together with whom we make steps to improve the economic environment of the country.

I’Velo is the most important multi annual bike-sharing program in Romania. The project started on May 9th 2012 by Green Revolution and Raiffeisen Bank, under the patronage of the Ministry of Environment and Forests, having the larges geographical coverage in the country. I’Velo’s mission is to gradually introduce the bicycle in urban life, both as recreational and as an alternative, healthy, low environmental impact means of transportation. Green Business Index (GBI) GBI rates companies’s responsibility towards the environment on the following indicators: sustainable development, impact on the environment, sustainable transport, use of resources, buildings, green purchasing and waste management. At its 4rd edition, the GBI is the only free instrument to evaluate environmental responsibility. It also offers assistance and counselling for improving the companies’ environmental performance. The project is based on internationally accepted environmental performance indicators, such as specified by ISO 14031, ISO 26000, ISO 16001 and is rolled out with a team of senior environmental experts. We only take into account paper used in copy or printing machines.

Thus, by using the two reporting standards, we evaluated both the company’s responsible community involvement and its way of doing responsible business. London Benchmarking Group – measuring the company’s investments in community programs The LBG system is used by companies worldwide to evaluate and report the value and the results of their community investments. This theoretical model analyzes the community investments in terms of the motivations behind them (charitable, commercial or strategic), the types of resources invested (money, time or in-kind) and causes supported. The LBG system also looks at the results and impact of the community investments, which reveal the benefits for the community and the company. According to this methodology, the main areas monitored for changes created by community projects are: the endbeneficiaries and the community, the partner organization, the environment and the company. The changes generated in these areas are evaluated according to how profoundly they meet community needs, in order to assess their sustainability. Global Reporting Initiative - measuring the company’s corporate governance and its economic and social behaviour The Global Reporting Initiative system is meant as a standardized reporting framework for economic, environmental and social performance of a given organization and in the past years it has become a common practice for companies throughout the world. In writing this report we have used the evaluation index guideline for level C. Annex 1 describes the index of the financial sector parameters reported according to GRI standards on the self-declared level C, without third party assurance and comparative for the period 2010 - 2012. The information for this report has been collected between January 1st 2012 - December 31st 2012 and the report is meant to asses the transparency and sustainability level of the organization at present, as it is evaluated according to the GRI model. This report does not feature data about Raiffeisen Bank’s subsidiaries in Romania, nor data regarding the mother company. The materiality of the parameters we reported on has been determined in 2009, through a materiality analysis performed with the bank’s auditor. Since 2010 (the date of the first GRI report) until now we have improved each year the level of reporting, so as to provide more accurate and more profound data for the parameters we started reporting on but also to introduce new parameters. This growth curve is visible in the comparative index in Annex 1. IF in 2012 we reported fully on 44 parameters and partially on 5, out of a total of 87 parameters determined as material and applicable, in 2012 we reported fully on 72 parameters and partially on 6, out of a total of 94 parameters (the total number of parameters and their structure for the Financial Sector was been changed by the GRI in 2011). As compared to 2011, changes appeared for several parameters. The table below presents the list of these parameters and the reason for which the changes occurred. Also in Annex 1 the full list of parameters is available, with their evolution in the past three years. There have been no significant changes compared to the previous period of reporting, with respect to the scope, the boundaries or the data collection mechanisms. 8) 9) http://lbg-romania.ro/content/ http://www.globalreporting.org/Home 37 www.raiffeisen.ro Annexes Annex 3 ANNEX 3 - LIST OF PARTNER NGOs Asocia]ia ADRA Asocia]ia AMURT Asocia]ia pentru Rela]ii Comunitare ASE Bucure[ti Asocia]ia Cultural` Amicii Scientiae Asocia]ia de Investiga]ii Media \n Balcani Asocia]ia Cultural` Maria Filotti Br`ila Asocia]ia Cultural` ProTransilvania Asocia]ia Cultural` Sathmarense Asicua]ia de Terapie Comportamental` Aplicat` Asocia]ia pentru Ecologie [i Turism Montan EcoExtrem Asocia]ia pentru Interven]ie Terapeutic` \n Autism Asocia]ia pentru Muzic`, Art` [i Cultur` Asocia]ia Român` pentru Transparen]` Asocia]ia SoNoRo Asocia]ia UNTEATRU Asocia]ia Bucharest Running Club Asocia]ia Club Sportiv Silver Fox Asocia]ia Club Sportiv Smart Atletic Asocia]ia Club Sportiv Sport Promotion Compania de Teatru Daya Asocia]ia CONCERTO Asocia]ia Ephemair Asocia]ia Green Revolution Asocia]ia Help M`lin Asocia]ia HipTep Aiud Asocia]ia |mpreun` pentru o Via]` mai Bun` Asocia]ia Inimi de Gorjeni Asocia]ia |nvingem Autismul Asocia]ia Leader’s School Asocia]ia Light into Europe Asocia]ia MAME Asocia]ia Open Minds Center for Mental Health Asocia]ia OPUS Asocia]ia Orizonturi Tinere Asocia]ia OvidiuRo Asocia]ia ProVita Asocia]ia ProEvent Asocia]ia Rafael Asocia]ia ROI Asocia]ia Touched România Asocia]ia Young Leaders Club Centrul Român pentru Politici Europene Funda]ia pentru Dezvoltarea Societ`]ii Civile Federa]ia Volum Filarmonica Moldova Ia[i 38 www.raiffeisen.ro Annexes Annex 4 Forum for International Communication Funda]ia Amfiteatru Funda]ia Balul Vienez din Timi[oara Funda]ia CMU Regina Maria Funda]ia Leaders Funda]ia Junior Achievement România Funda]ia Progress Funda]ia pentru SMURD Funda]ia United Way Funda]ia Rena[terea Funda]ia Solidaritate [i Speran]` Funda]ia Hospice Casa Speran]ei Gr`dini]a Roza Venerini Institutul ASPEN România Salva]i Copiii Bra[ov Teatrul ACT UNICEF România UNITER ANNEX 4 - CONTACTS Raiffeisen Bank Headquarter Calea Floreasca 246C Cod 014476, sector 1, Bucure[ti Tel.: +4 021 306 10 00 Fax: +4 021 230 07 00 E-mail: [email protected] http://www.raiffeisen.ro Public Relations and Communication Directorate Calea Floreasca 246C Cod 014476, sector 1, Bucure[ti Tel.: +4 021 306 16 23 Fax: +4 021 230 06 55 E-mail: [email protected] www.raiffeisen.ro 39 www.raiffeisen.ro
