Creditors of Austrian workout institution Heta Asset Resolution AG
("Heta"), including Deutsche Pfandbriefbank AG ("pbb"), as well as the
Republic of Austria, today entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
which provides for the largest part of certain Heta's liabilities ("Heta
debt securities") to be repaid. Based on this MoU, the parties confirmed
their joint intention to achieve an amicable agreement regarding the
restructuring of these Heta liabilities which are covered by a guaranty of
the Federal State of Carinthia. It is intended that the Kärtner
Ausgleichszahlungs-Fonds will make a buy back offer to HETA creditors for
the Heta debt securities they hold.

Assuming this Offer will - as planned - be made, accepted and therefore
become effective, this would result in a non-recurring pre-tax gain of
EUR132 million for pbb Group, expected to be recognised during the
financial year 2016. In March 2016, pbb anticipated slightly lower
consolidated profit before taxes (in accordance with IFRS) for 2016,
compared to the very good figure of EUR 195 million for the previous year.
The expectation already incorporated moderate reversals of loan loss
provisions on claims against Heta in the amount of around EUR 10 million.

Implementation of the MoU requires - among other conditions - on the one
hand the creation of the necessary legislative framework and on the other
hand the acceptance of the offer according to the quota required by law. In
addition, the outcome of the co-ordination with the EU Commission needs to
be considered.
