ECONOMY IS EXPORT-ORIENTED, CLOSELY
LINKED TO GERMANY
Slovakia is one of the most opened economies in the world. Exports and imports of goods and services
relative to GDP amounted together to 190% (as of 2018), the highest level among the CE-4 countries
85% (as of 2018) of Slovak exports go to the EU27, the highest share among EU members
Germany is Slovakia’s most important trading partner. It directly buys 22% of Slovak exports of goods
and probably additional similar share indirectly (being a key importer of Slovakia’s other key trading
partners)

Slovakia meets Maastricht criteria:
2019 deficit reached 1.3% of GDP while
debt decreased to 48.0%
Covid-19 crisis will be a big hit both to
deficit and debt though
In 2011, Slovakia adopted a constitutional law
preventing debt to breach 60% (by 2027 only
50%) of GDP and established an independent
fiscal watchdog

BANKING SECTOR IS STABLE, WELL CAPITALIZED
AND PROFITABLE
Funding of banks in Slovakia is dominated by retail and
corporate deposits, LTD is 105%
Gross NPLs in Slovakia are below-EU, CAR is above
17%
Slovak banks are profitable, albeit in recent years profits
came under pressure due to bank levy, intense
competition and margin pressure
In 2020, Bank Levy was increased from 0.20% of the
base (all liabilities ex equity) to 0.40%. Banks challenge
this increase in the Slovak Constitutional Court and EU
Commission

REAL ESTATE MARKET IS NOW FAST
DEVELOPING, SUPPLY RESPONDS TO DEMAND...
Slovak residential property market went
through a boom and bust in the run-up to 2008
crisis and euro adoption in January 2009
Market started to recover in 2014. Since then
property prices were growing cca.6-8%y/y on
average, depending on methodology (NBS vs
Eurostat methodology)
Slovak real estate price growth though is not
excessive in regional comparison, prices in the
neighboring Czech Republic and Hungary have
growth faster in the past three years

Note:
The Composite Index comprises five sub-indices. The index is calculated as the average of trend-adjusted and standardized indicators, weighted using a principal component analysis.
The index level shows the deviation in standard deviations from the average, normalized to zero. The index value is categorized into one of five levels based on the current value: downward
trend (below -1), balance (between -1 and 0), boom (between 0 and 1), risk (between 1 and 2) and bubble (above 2).
Most recent increase in prices have been offset by the decline in mortgage rates, leaving the NBS-
modelled total Composite Index of housing price development (CI_Total) in the „Boom“ zone, above
the „Balance“ but still comfortably below the „Risk“ zone
HOUSING AFFORDABILITY STILL REMAINS
REASONABLE
Market is driven by mortgages for real homes,
speculative demand is rather marginal when
compared to boom/bust a decade ago. Home
ownership is high at 90% (EU average is 75%)
Price to income ratio is still reasonable and
broadly stable in recent years
Factoring in declining mortgage rates, housing
affordability hovers near all-time best

FINANCIAL FIGURES BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Strong growth in Retail lending is
driven by active participation on the
Mortgage lending, which continued in
1Q 2020 despite the starting impacts
of Covid-19
Corporate lending supports the
overall strong lending position of the
bank with stable volume and
profitability
The Bank increased the base of
customers deposits (YoY 7%) and
thus preserved its liquidity position. In
order to support further growth of
loans, the Bank remains focused
mainly on the retail deposits in the
upcoming period. This allows the
Group to focus on further
improvement of the main services to
customers such as loans to
households, companies and
municipalities

The bank showed slight rise of

low interest rates also coming from

ORIGINATION AND UNDERWRITING
Underwriting
& Risk
Policies
Property
Valuation &
Collateral
Management
Sales force
All risk policies related to origination are applied equally on all mortgages regardless of their presence in the cover
pool. Portfolio management and monitoring is performed on all mortgages, with possibility to distinguish between those in
and out of the cover pool
Credit delegated powers are fully centralized and granted only within risk management division at VUB headquarters. All
mortgage applications in terms of credit are processed with steps that are either automated (by rules in risk policies) or
executed by corresponding risk management roles under credit delegated powers policies
Mortgage underwriting techniques includes rating cut-offs according to PDs with corresponding risk based pricing,
income verification required by the local regulator including operational stress test on interest rate, Loan to Value policy
based on several LGD impacting variables and their combinations, and methodology for collateral value acceptance on the
top of official external evaluations
Debt capacity / ability to repay the loans is evaluated in accordance with valid local regulation in all cases. Income as well
financial expenditures must be verified through independent source (pure client statement is not acceptable). Credit bureau
information are always taken into consideration (credit behavior, debt service). The 4-eye principle is followed in any case.
When fraudulent characteristics are identified, case is specially investigated by fraud department
Collateral valuation at loan origination:
The value used as reference by VUB is the lower of (i) purchase price and (ii) collateral value resulting from an external
valuation performed by an appraiser with valid license in the relevant area or internal valuation
Such value is reviewed by an internal appraiser who may validate such value or apply additional haircut
Process of collateral valuation is independent from credit decision (regulatory requirement)
Collateral revaluation:
Revaluation of Residential Real Estates (RRE) is performed on annually basis using a statistical model. Such model is
based on (i) external market data (GfK Purchasing Power Index (PPI)) and (ii) internal market data (valuation of comparable
properties made for recently approved applications)
All mortgages are originated either directly through VUB branches or through commercial agreements with more
than 50 external partners (have just the first contact with the client, the processing of the loan brought is done at the
branch)
Most of the external partners are concentrated in the region of Bratislava

MORTGAGE BUSINESSFURTHER DETAILS
Yearly Contracts Growth (contracts EOM)
Yearly Outstanding Growth (outstanding EOM)
In the last few years, VUB has experienced a solid growth due to successful mortgage campaigns and still strong
demand from customers side
Mortgage growth at the beginning of 2017 slowed down mainly due to newly introduced NBS macro prudential rules in order to
slowdown the trend in development of overall indebtedness of Slovak households and mitigate unfavorable
development on real estate market values
• LTV limits on new production within LTV buckets 80%-100%, 90%-100% and 100%+ (50% share of volumes on LTV bucket
80-100% and 10% on LTV bucket 90-100% was allowed, but currently only 20% within LTV 80-90%. 0% with LTV above
90% is allowed since 07/2019). Net refinancing mortgage loans production is not limited
• DSTI: The consumer's ability to repay couldn’t exceed 80% of net income less the subsistence minimum (with gradual
increase of buffer from 5% to 20% in period 01/2017 - 07/2018), till 12/2019. Since 01/2020, 40% buffer is requested, with
some allowed exceptions (5% of new loans + additional 5% for loans with maturity <= 5)
• DTI (debt-to-income) introduced later in 2018 should not exceed 8. The maximum share of new loans with DTI above 8 was
set to 10% for 1Q2018 and decreased to 5% (+ 5% if additional conditions are met) in 3Q2019 37

SLOVAK CB LEGISLATION AT A GLANCE COVERED BOND LEGISLATION IN FORCE SINCE JAN 2018
39
The issuer – in addition to standard banking license - must obtain prior consent of the NBS to issue
covered bonds
On-balance sheet segregation: cover assets remain on issuer's balance sheet but constitute a
‘separate’ estate
The issuer must maintain a Covered Bonds Register ("Covered Bond Estate") into which assets
and proceeds from the cover pool are individually recorded
NBS decree established all information to be included (since Jan 2019) in the Covered Bond
Register
Bankruptcy remoteness: inclusion in the Register has the same effect as true sale in case of
bankruptcy proceedings:
the Covered Bonds Estate is not part of the bankruptcy general estate: proceeds from the cover assets may
only be used to satisfy the claims of the covered bondholders
Bankruptcy proceedings do not automatically cause the acceleration of Slovak covered bonds
Dual recourse: covered bondholders have recourse against both:
the Covered Bonds Estate
the general estate of the Issuer
SLOVAK CB LEGISLATION AT A GLANCE COVER POOL COMPOSITION
40
Base Assets:
at least 90% of the aggregate value of the cover pool (excluding the Liquid Assets)
residential mortgage loans to individuals
original term up to 30 years
LTV up to 80%
exclusion and deletion of the loans whose debtor is defaulted from the Covered Bond Register (does not apply to
loans with repayments postponed due to Covid-19 legislation, as they are not considered "defaulted“)
properties located in the Slovak Republic
Substitute Assets:
up to 10% of the aggregate value of the cover pool less the Liquid Assets
cash or deposits with NBS, ECB, EU Member state central bank and all other assets that meet conditions under
Article 129 (1)(c) of EU Regulation No. 575/2013
Hedging derivatives:
cash flows and posted collateral of derivative whose purpose is to manage and mitigate currency or interest rate
risk connected with issued CBs
Liquid Assets:
required to cover 180-days expected negative cash flows from the CB, if any
HQLA Tier 1 & Tier 2A assets under Articles 10 and 11 of EU Regulation 2015/61
SLOVAK CB LEGISLATION AT A GLANCE THE COVERED BOND PROGRAMME MONITOR
41
Is an independent individual appointed (and revoked) by the NBS, acting on its own initiative or
on the proposal of the issuer
Before issuance of CB, Programme Monitor:
verifies that assets that are going to be added to the cover pool fulfill eligibility requirements
issues a written certificate confirming that covered bonds are covered and that an entry in the Covered Bond
Register has been made
verifies issuer's compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements with regard to covered bonds
At least once a month checks:
Cover assets consistency with regulatory requirements
If requirements in relation to the Covered Bond Register are met

SLOVAK CB LEGISLATION AT A GLANCE SPECIAL LEGAL INSTITUTION – COVERED BOND PROGRAMME TRANSFER
42
A transfer of CB programme is expected to be used mostly in special circumstances where the
bank issuing CBs is subject to involuntary administration or bankruptcy proceedings
Involuntary administrator or trustee operates the CB Programme of the issuing bank and shall:
cooperate with the Programme Monitor
assess with due professional care whether or not the further management of the CB programme would result in
an overall decrease in satisfaction of the owners of CBs
Involuntary administrator/trustee can, with the prior approval of the NBS, transfer the whole CB
Programme to another authorized Slovak bankProgramme transfer shall be carried out within one year from the notification to the NBS. Involuntary administrator/bankruptcy trustee
could request a one year extension to terminate the transfer process
soft bullet extension: pending the transfer, the final maturity of the covered bonds, whose original maturity expires during the period
of the transfer, will be extended by a maximum of one year (or two years in total, in case of repeated attempt to transfer)
no suspension of interest payments on the covered bonds due to maturity extension
If the trustee fails to transfer the CB Programme, it is entitled to transfer receivables arising under
mortgage loans included in the assets of the cover pool for remuneration to bank, foreign bank,
branch of a foreign bank.
Acceleration and early repayment of CB are triggered as of the date the trustee terminates the
operation of the bankrupt bank's business after declaration of bankruptcy which generally follows
immediately after the trustee has failed to ensure realisation of the bankrupt bank's assets via the
transfer of the CB programme.

Bankruptcy of parent institution / originator(s)
Assets in the cover pool are fully segregated from the general insolvency estate of the bankrupt bank. The general insolvency trustee observes special procedures that are aimed to extend covered bonds' maturity in the event of bankruptcy and postpone immediate acceleration
No acceleration of covered bonds Covered bond creditors have preferential claim on the cover assets
In case of bankruptcy of a mortgage bank the cover register shall constitute a separate bankruptcy estate which may be used exclusively to satisfy claims of covered bondholders. The court appoints the curator (Kurator) who represents the rights of covered bondholders. The soft-bullet maturity of the covered bonds is triggered automatically after insolvency.
Assets within the cover register are exempt from bankruptcy proceedings. After the launching of the insolvency proceedings, a special cover pool administrator (Sachwalter) carries out the administration of the cover assets
No acceleration of covered bonds Covered bond creditors have preferential claim on the cover assets

TRANSACTION HIGHLIGHTS
Extensively positive feedback from investors during the roadshow allowed to exploit the strong
momentum and open books on Tuesday, the day right after the roadshow was concluded
Hence, books were opened in the morning at 9.00 CET communicating IPTs at MS+40 area and
unsurprisingly, given the positive feedback collected from investors across jurisdictions the deal
attracted very high investor attention from the beginning
At the time of the first update at 10.05 CET the orderbook was already in excess of EUR 1bn
(excl. JLM interest) and just around 25 minutes later guidance was set at MS+35bps area in the
second update on the back of a fast-growing orderbook standing above of EUR 1.5bn (excl. JLM
interest)
As books stood at EUR 2.25bn+ the guidance was revised to MS+30bps (+/-2 WPIR) in the third
update at 11.15 CET. Eventually, the book peaked at EUR 2.6bn and the spread could be finally
set at the lower end of the revised guidance at MS+28bps

TRANSACTION HIGHLIGHTS
Following the mandate announcement for a EUR 500mn (no grow) 10-year mortgage covered
transaction on Wednesday, June 12th, the issuer decided together with the JLMs to opt for a
swift execution on the day thereafter
Books were opened with IPTs of MS +35bps area early at 8.51 CET, June 13th, ahead of
potential competing supply. The decision was supported by a positive market backdrop on
Thursday morning and constructive investor feedback which was gathered throughout the
preceding afternoon
At 10.16 CET the first update was sent out informing that books already exceeded EUR 750mn
(excl. JLM interest) and roughly 50 minutes later the second update hit the screens
communicating a spread guidance of MS +32bps area on the back of an orderbook in excess of
EUR 1bn (incl. EUR 45mn JLMs)
In the third update which was sent out around 45 minutes later the spread was finally fixed at
MS +30bps and orderbook eventually closed at 12.15 CET
