Comunicatul Erste Bank:

Erste Group Bank AG to postpone AGM to later date in 2020, to review 2019 dividend proposal

The management board of Erste Group Bank AG has today resolved to postpone the annual general meeting, originally scheduled for 13 May 2020 in Vienna, to a later date in the year, as coronavirus-related administrative restrictions limiting public gatherings are in place until further notice.

In addition, the management board of Erste Group has today resolved to review its 2019 dividend proposal of EUR 1.5 per share in light of the rapid emergence of significant economic uncertainties resulting from the global spreading of the coronavirus.

In postponing the final dividend decision to a later time, the management board of Erste Group will be able to take a more informed, fact-based decision, as relates to the economic consequences of the coronavirus outbreak, thereby acting in the best long term interest of shareholders and the broader communities Erste Group serves in Austria and Central
and Eastern Europe.
