Aktia Bank plc Stock Exchange Release 1.11.2013 at 11.00 a.m.
Comparative figures for Aktia Groups Interim reports 1 January 2012–30 June 2013 and Financial statements 1 January – 31 December 2012
The former parent company of the Aktia Group, Aktia plc, merged with its wholly-owned subsidiary Aktia Bank plc on 1 July 2013. Following the merger, Aktia Bank plc has become the parent company of the Group. The merger is part of the Aktia Group’s Plan of Action 2015, which aims to simplify the structure of the Group and increase cost-effectiveness within administration, processes and common functions.
Effect of the merger on the Group’s financial position
Because the merger took place within the Group and Aktia plc owned 100% of the shares in Aktia Bank plc, the merger had no direct effect on the results for the Aktia Group. Nor did the merger have any effect on the Aktia Group’s balance-sheet total or total equity.
The new Group structure, with Aktia Bank plc as the parent company for the Group’s insurance operations also, affected the Bank Group’s capital adequacy as of 1 July 2013 by –0.9 percentage points and its Tier 1 capital ratio by –0.4 percentage points.
Comparative figures for the Group Aktia Bank plc
The merger of the Group’s former parent company brought no significant changes to the Aktia Group’s financial position or operating activities. The comparative figures in this interim report have been compiled so that the financial information for the present Group with Aktia Bank plc as its parent can be compared with the same, completely equivalent financial information that was published in earlier periods when Aktia plc was the parent company for the Group. Starting with Aktia Bank plc’s Interim report 1-9/2013 comparative figures will be included according to this principle. The comparative figures will vary from earlier figures reported by Aktia Bank plc, as Aktia Bank plc was not parent company of the Aktia Group earlier.
Aktia Bank plc’s Interim report 1 January–30 September 2013 will be published on 7 November 2013.
