1) The Bank generated the net profit in the amount of 2 938.2 million PLN, i.e. higher by 4.0% than in 2011. The net profit of the Group attributable to equity holders amounted to 2 955.7 million PLN and was higher by 1.9% than the year before. The return on equity of the Bank amounted to 13.5%, and that of the Capital Group to 13.3%. Strong capital and liquidity structure of the Group, allowing for future stable and safe development of the activity, is reflected by the capital adequacy ratio, which at the end of the year 2012 was at the level of 19%; the loans to deposits ratio amounted to 86.7%.
2) The Bank achieved good results despite the demanding conditions of the economic slowdown. Thanks to early mobilization and the ability to quickly adjust to new conditions in the banking sector the Bank systematically improved its position in the key retail credit products, granting 11 billion PLNof such new credits, and also participated in financing of the biggest and most attractive projects developing the infrastructure in Poland.
3) The Bank effectively managed credit risk, continuing its prudent and responsible policy in this respect. Owing to a consistent approach to such a policy in 2012 the cost of risk was 0.72% for the Group reflecting the assets resistance to the pressure in the corporate sector, in particular in construction industry.It has to be emphasized that the Bank consistently continued the policy of offering mortgage loans in PLN only. Mortgage loans denominated in foreign currency, almost entirely acquired as a result of the merger of the spin-off part of Bank BPH S.A. accounted only for 5.6% of the total credit portfolio of the Bank at the end of the year.
4) The good results of the Group achieved in 2012, were mainly influenced by the stable income on core activity and effective cost control owing to which operational costs were decreased by 1.3% year over year despite expenditures related to sponsoring of the European Football Championship UEFA EURO 2012™ and the brand refreshment. The sound structure of the core revenues reflects the quality of the customer base and the effective implementation of the business strategy.
Assessment of the motion of the Management Board of the Bank concerningthe distribution of the net profit for the year 2012.
The Supervisory Board of Bank Pekao S.A. assessed the motion of the Management Board of the Bank concerning the distribution of the net profit of Bank Pekao S.A. for the year 2012.
The Supervisory Board gave its positive opinion on this motion having considered that:
1) The capital adequacy ratio of Bank Pekao S.A. in December 2012, without incorporating the net profit for 2012, reached the level of 18.67% . The capital adequacy ratio of the Group is higher and it reached the level of 18.98%. Such a strong capital base allows the Bank to be in a privileged position to accommodate organic growth, to capture potential market opportunities and to face unpredictable volatility of the macroeconomic scenario,
2) the Bank meets the criteria specified by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority on 28th November 2012, concerning the conditions for the pay out of the dividend amounting to the maximum of 75% of the profit.
Having considered the above circumstances, the Supervisory Board decided to recommend to the General Meeting to adopt the resolution on the distribution of the net profit of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna for the year 2012 in the amount of 2,938,155,328.52 PLN in accordance with the motion of the Management Board of the Bank, i.e.:
1) the amount of 2,202,123,585.26 PLN to be allocated to dividend,
2) the amount of 536,031,743.26 PLN to be allocated to reserve equities,
3) the amount of 200,000,000.00 PLN to be allocated to the general risk fund for unidentified banking risk.
According to the above-mentioned recommendation, the payment of cash dividend shall amount to 8.39 PLN per share, which would translate into the dividend payout ratio of 74.95% of the Bank net profit for the year 2012 (74.26% of the Group net profit).
After allocating the remaining part of the net profit for the year 2012 to core funds, the capital adequacy ratio for Bank Pekao S.A. should amount to 19.44%, and the consolidated adequacy ratio should amount to 19.69%.
In accordance with the Code of Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies, the Supervisory Board assessed the position of the Bank in 2012. The document containing the assessment has been attached to this report.

In accordance with the Code of Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies, the Supervisory Board of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A. assessed the situation of the Bank in 2012, taking into consideration the assessment of the internal control system and risk management system functioning in the Bank.
General assessment of the situation of the Bank
In the assessment of the Supervisory Board, Bank Pekao S.A. is in a good economic-financial situation, it meets all requirements of safe operation and capital adequacy, and it ensures safety of funds entrusted by customers.
The Supervisory Board of Bank Pekao S.A. positively assesses the results achieved in 2012 by the Bank and Capital Group of Bank Pekao S.A.
The Bank generated the net profit in the amount of 2 938.2 million PLN, i.e. higher by 4.0% than in 2011. The net profit of the Group attributable to equity holders amounted to 2 955.7 million PLN and was higher by 1.9% than the year before. The return on equity of the Bank amounted to 13.5%, and that of the Capital Group to 13.3 %.
Strong capital and liquidity structure of the Group, allowing for future stable and safe development of the activity, is reflected by the capital adequacy ratio, which at the end of the year 2012 was at the level of 19%; the loans to deposits ratio amounted to 86.7%.
In 2012 Bank Pekao S.A. achieved good results despite the demanding conditions of the economic slowdown. Thanks to early mobilization and the ability to quickly adjust to new conditions in the banking sector the Bank systematically improved its position in the key retail credit products, granting 11 billion PLN of such new credits, and also participated in financing of the biggest and most attractive projects developing the infrastructure in Poland.
The good results of the Group achieved in 2012, were mainly influenced by the stable income on core activity and effective cost control owing to which operational costs were decreased by 1.3% year over year despite expenditures related to sponsoring of the European Football Championship UEFA EURO 2012™ and the brand refreshment.The sound structure of the core revenues reflects the quality of the customer base and the effective implementation of the business strategy.
The Bank effectively managed credit risk, continuing its prudent and responsible policy in this respect. Owing to a consistent approach to such a policy in 2012 the cost of risk was 0.72% for the Group reflecting the assets resistance to the pressure in the corporate sector, in particular in construction industry. It has to be emphasized that the Bank consistently continued the policy of offering mortgage loans in PLN only. Mortgage loans denominated in foreign currency, almost entirely acquired as a result of the merger of the spin-off part of Bank BPH S.A. accounted only for 5.6% of the total credit portfolio of the Bank at the end of the year.
The activity of the Bank in 2012 received wide recognition, as evidenced by numerous domestic and foreign awards and distinctions for achievements and innovativeness in the development of banking services. Congratulating on the awarded distinctions, the Supervisory Board shares the opinion of the Management Board of the Bank that the award of the title of the most often awarded bank in Poland over the past 16 years by Global Finance magazine was of particular significance. Moreover, the Bank was awarded with the title of the best internet bank for corporate customers in Poland and CEE region for PekaoBIZNES24 system.

Assessment of the internal control system
Bank Pekao S.A. has the internal control system which is adapted to the Bank's organizational structure and which covers all of the Bank's units and subsidiaries.
The Supervisory Board positively assesses the internal control system correctly functioning in Bank Pekao S.A. which ensures effectiveness of control processes. The rules for exercising the internal control include procedures and internal control mechanisms approved by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Bank Pekao S.A.; they are adapted to the Bank's specificity and they are reviewed and assessed under the activity of the internal audit.
Internal control in the Bank is an on-going process which is carried out at all organizational levels and statutory bodies of the Bank, by particular organizational units, supervisors at all managerial levels and by all employees.
The internal control system is characterized by a complete and holistic approach.It encompasses all internal regulations, procedures, control mechanisms, limits and self-control activities, and it is based on three levels of control, consisting of: (i) line controls, (ii) risk management control, and (iii) internal audit (institutional control). Dedicated structures fully cover the most important risk areas at the three above mentioned levels of control. Controlling functions towards subsidiaries are exercised by the Bank's representatives in the supervisory boards of these subsidiaries.
The Management Board is responsible for planning and operation of the internal control system, adjusted to the size and profile of the risk related to the activity of the Bank. The Internal Control Regulation is issued as the ordinance of the President of the Management Board of the Bank. The Management Boardof the Bank systematically analyses the reports on activities of the Internal Audit Department and exercises supervision over implementation of recommendations and comments arising from audits.
The Supervisory Board exercises supervision over the internal control system and assesses its adequacy and effectiveness. The Supervisory Board, with the support of the Audit Committee, approves internal audit plans and considers periodic reports on the activities of the Internal Audit Department; approves the principles for exercising internal control and considers information concerning periodic review of the internal control system.The Supervisory Board assesses cooperation with the Internal Audit Department as good.
Assessment of the risk management system
The Supervisory Board positively assesses the risks management system, which functions in Bank Pekao S.A. and in Capital Group of Bank Pekao S.A.
Risk management is of a comprehensive, consolidated character and encompasses all units of the Bank and the subsidiaries.
The risk management strategy in the form of the ICAAP Procedure, adopted by the Management Board in accordance with the regulatory requirements, has been approved by the Supervisory Board. The ICAAP Procedure is regularly reviewed and updated as required to preserve its validity and adequacy with reference to the scale and complexity of the activities performed by the Bank.
In accordance with the legal acts and supervisory regulations, the Management Board of the Bank is responsible for preparation and implementation and functioning of risk management processes as well as for effective operation of the risk management process and systematic improvement of this process.
The Supervisory Board exercises supervision over compliance of the Bank's policy in the area of taking up different types of risk with the strategy and the Bank's financial plan, in particular through opining on the Bank's strategy and approving risk management strategy (ICAAP Procedure) adopted by the Management Board, credit policy, investment and market risk policy, as well as compliance policy, and consideration of periodic reports of the Management Board on the management of particular types of risk.
The system of risk management functioning in the Bank is an integral element of the Bank management system. The Bank's internal control system is adapted to its organizational structure, complexity of operations, size and profile of the risks regarding Pillar I which are: credit risk, financial risk, operational risk as well as the additionally identified Pillar II risks as defined by the ICAAP Procedure (counterparty risk, concentration risk, residual risk, country risk, market risk including interest rate risk in the banking book, liquidity risk, real estate risk, macroeconomic risk, business risk including strategic risk, compliance risk, reputational risk, model risk).
Within the risk management system the Bank uses formalized procedures to identify, measure or estimate and monitor the risk, as well as the formalized limits restricting the risk.The system of managerial information operating in the Bank enables effective monitoring of the risk level. Risks are monitored as regards profitability and the capital required to take them.
The management of credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and operational risk is carried out by the Risk Management Division, which is supervised by Vice President of the Management Board Diego Biondo. The management of Pillar II risks is shared between the Risk Management Division and other divisions, whereas the former is responsible for risks control and quantification.
The Credit Committee of the Bank plays an important role in credit risk management, the Assets Liabilities and Risk Committee plays an important role in the management of market and liquidity risks, whereas the Operational Risk Committee and the Bank Security Committee play an important role in operational risk management. Effective risk management is one of the Bank's strong points.
Summary
The Supervisory Board wishes to emphasize with satisfaction that the performance of Bank Pekao S.A. was less impacted by the negative macroeconomic situation than the banking sector due to the consistently applied rational credit policy and not engaging the Bank or its Customers in financial operations burdened with excessive risk.
The Supervisory Board assesses the situation of the Bank as good and stable.The assessment is justified by: (i) good financial results, (ii) excellent cost control, (iii) effective and consistent risk management, (iv) solid structure of balance sheet and capital, (v) high level of the Bank's security, (vi) efficient operation of the internal control system and (vii) efficient operational activity.
In the opinion of the Supervisory Board, Bank Pekao S.A. has strong bases and potential to further maintain sustainable results achieved in the considerable economic slowdown in Poland, owing to the Bank's stable and varied sources of financing, high capital, strong position of the brand on the market, consistency in conservative management of credit risk as well as due to clear priorities for the year 2013. The ability of quick adjustment to volatile macroeconomic surroundings and investing in the Bank's innovativeness and development allow to expect strengthening of the Bank's position as a leader facilitating the long-term economic development of the country.
