Moreover, the Supervisory Board acknowledged the results of the survey on customer satisfaction management in Bank Pekao S.A. in the areas of: (i) external customer satisfaction, (ii) internal customer satisfaction, (iii) reputation survey, (iv) complaints management, and (v) cross-bank initiatives.

Capital adequacy was an important issue discussed at the meetings of the Supervisory Board; the Board acknowledged the yearly review of the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) and approved the updated ICAAP procedure.

In the area of capital management the Supervisory Board analyzed once a quarter the reports on capital management and information on the liquidity situation of the Bank, and approved the Capital Management Strategy - 2011.

The Supervisory Board acknowledged information on disclosures according to Pillar III of the New Capital Accord in the scope of capital adequacy for Bank Pekao S.A. and the UniCredit Group.

Another issues analyzed by the Supervisory Board were: (i) the motion on the UCG Long Term Incentive Plan 2011-2013, (ii) the motion on of the Rules of the 2011 Executive Variable Compensation System - Cash Part, and (iii) the motion on approval of the 'UniCredit Group Compensation Policy' as amended in order to ensure its compliance with the Polish regulations and recommendations of the control and supervision bodies.

The Supervisory Board also considered motions concerning the sale of real estate, within the scope of its competences determined in § 18 p. 16 of the Bank's Statute.

Acting in accordance with § 18 p. 12 of the Bank's Statute, the Supervisory Board issued a positive opinion on the intention to dispose of 100% of stake in OJSC UniCredit Bank owned by Bank Pekao S.A.

The plan of activities of the Supervisory Board for 2012 was adopted in accordance with the Rules of Procedure of the Supervisory Board.

IV. Assessment of reports of the Management Board on activities of the Bank and the Capital Group in 2011, the financial statements of the Bank and the Capital Group for 2011, and the motion of the Management Board of the Bank concerning distribution of the net profit for 2011.

The Supervisory Board of Bank Pekao S.A., acting in accordance wit Art. 382 § 3 of the Commercial Companies Code, and performing its statutory duties, assessed the Management Board's reports on the activity of the Bank and the capital Group in 2011, as well as the financial statements of the Bank and the Capital Group for 2011, in terms of their consistency with the books, documents and the factual state.

As a result of this assessment, and having got acquainted with the opinions and reports of the entity authorised to examine the financial statements, i.e. KPMG Audyt Sp. z o.o., on examination of the financial statements of Bank Pekao S.A. for 2011 and the consolidated financial statement of the Capital Group of Bank Pekao S.A. for 2011, the Board issues a positive opinion on the achieved results and recommends to the General Meeting to adopt resolutions approving these financial statements.

Putting forward this recommendation, the Board took into consideration the following:

1) the Bank generated the net profit in the amount of 2 826.4 million PLN, higher by 10.8 % than in the year 2010; the net profit of the Capital Group of Bank Pekao S.A. totalled 2 899.4 million PLN, the return on equity of both the Bank and of the Capital Group was 14.2 %. The strong capital and liquidity structure of the Group is reflected by the capital adequacy ratio at the level of 17.0 % , and the loans to deposits ratio of 88.2 % at the end of 2011. It allows the further stable and safe development of the Bank's activity,

 

2) the results achieved in 2011 proved the Bank's strength and its resistance to increasing volatility of the financial markets situation. The Bank achieved good results despite operating under pressure of uncertain situation on the international financial markets, including corporate markets. Due to the focus on the business activity in 2011 the sale of consumer loans of the Bank increased by 18%, and the sale of PLN mortgage loans increased by 27% as compared to the year 2010. Corporate loans portfolio together with the non quoted securities, reverse repo transactions and securities issued by local governments increased by 20.8% as compared to the years 2010. These results were achieved due to the Bank's dynamic activity on the market,

 

3) Good results of the Group achieved in 2011, with the operating profit higher by 13.8% as compared to the year 2010, were mainly influenced by higher income from the operational activity. Costs of operational activity remained under control and increased only by 0.6%, significantly below inflation,

 

4) the Bank effectively managed credit risk and continued conservative policy in this respect. Due to a consistent maintenance of such a policy in 2011 there was recorded an increase of the total credit exposure by 13.9 %, and the cost of risk was 0.63% for the Group and it decreased by 0.05 bps year over year, which confirms the Bank's competitive advantage in this respect. It has to be emphasized that the Bank consequently continued the policy of offering mortgage loans only in PLN. Mortgage loans denominated in foreign currencies constitute only 6.5% of the entire credit portfolio of the Bank. 

 

The Supervisory Board assessed the motion of the Management Board concerning the distribution of the net profit for the year 2011.

 

 

The Supervisory Board assessed the motion of the Management Board of the Bank on distribution of the profit for the year 2011.

 

The Board has given its positive opinion on this motion and has taken into consideration the uncertain market situation, development plans and the Bank's intent to maintain a privileged position in the potential process of consolidation of the banking sector in Poland, and moreover the recommendation of the banking supervision.

 

Considering the above-mentioned circumstances, the Supervisory Board decided to recommends to the Ordinary General Meeting to adopt the resolution on the distribution of net profit of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna for the year 2011 in the amount of 2,826,372,868.00 PLN, in accordance with the motion of the Management Board of the Bank, i.e.:

a) the amount of 1,412,088,782.92 PLN is allocated on dividend,

b) the amount of 1.214.284.085,08 PLN is allocated on the reserve equities,

c) the amount of 200,000,000.00 PLN is allocated to the general risk fund for unidentified risk of running banking activity.

According to the above-mentioned recommendation the dividend will be paid as monetary funds in the amount of 5,38 PLN per one share, which would translate into 49.96% dividend payout rate of the net income of the Bank for the year 2011. Having included the remaining part of the net income for the year 2011 to core funds, the capital adequacy ratio of Bank Pekao S.A. should amount to 18.11% and the consolidated capital adequacy ratio should amount to 18.35%.

 

 

In accordance with the Code of Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies, the Supervisory Board assessed the position of the Bank in 2011. The document containing the assessment has been attached to this report.

When assessing the Management Board of the Bank, the Supervisory Board took into account, inter alia, the following: (i) very good financial results, (ii) high level of the Bank's security, (iii) effective operational activity, (iv) effective and consistent risk management, (v) structural strength of the balance sheet and equity, (vi) tight costs control, and (vii) effectively operating internal control system.

Bank Pekao S.A. maintained the stable position in the face of the international crisis and confirmed its resistance and stability to market turmoil. The Bank has solid foundations to take full advantage of sustainable growth and further improvement of effectiveness.

Owing to the healthy balance, strong capital base, conservative approach towards risk and relatively small exposure to foreign currency mortgage loans, Bank Pekao S.A. is well prepared for the challenges of the year 2012.

In the opinion of the Supervisory Board the potential and solid foundations of Bank Pekao S.A. provide ground to expect good financial and commercial results both in the current year and in the future.

Considering the above, in accordance with Art. 395 § 2 p. 3 of the Commercial Companies Code, the Supervisory Board recommends to the General Meeting to approve the performance of duties in the year 2011 of the following members of the Management Board of the Bank: Messrs. Luigi Lovaglio, Diego Biondo, Marco Iannaccone, Andrzej Kopyrski, Grzegorz Piwowar and Marian Ważyński, and Mrs. Alicja Kornasiewicz for the period from 1 January 2011 to 30 April 2011.

Taking into account the presented activity in the year 2011, in accordance with Art. 395 § 2 p. 3 of the Commercial Companies Code, the Supervisory Board recommends to the General Meeting to approve the performance of duties in 2011 of the members of the Supervisory Board: Messrs: Roberto Nicastro, Jerzy Woźnicki, Paweł Dangel, Oliver Greene, Enrico Pavoni, Leszek Pawłowicz and Krzysztof Pawłowski, and Mrs. Alicja Kornasiewicz for the period from 1 May 2011 to 31 December 2011, Mr. Federico Ghizzoni for the period from 1 January 2011 to 30 April 2011, Mr. Sergio Ermotti for the period from 1 January 2011 to 23 February 2011 and Mr. Alessandro Decio for the period from 19 April 2011 to 31 December 2011.

Assessment of the situation of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A. in 2011 prepared by the Supervisory Board in accordance with the Code of Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies.

In accordance with the Best Practices of the WSE Listed Companies, the Supervisory Board of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A. assessed the situation of the Bank in 2011, taking into consideration the assessment of the internal control system and risks management system functioning in the Bank.

 

General assessment of the situation of the Bank

In the opinion 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 clients.

 

The Supervisory Board of Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A. positively opines the results achieved in 2011 by the Bank and the Capital Group of Bank Pekao S.A.

 

The Bank generated the net profit in the amount of 2 826.4 million PLN, higher by 10.8 % than in 2010; the net profit of the Capital Group of Bank Pekao S.A. amounted to 2 899.4 million PLN and was higher by 14.8% than in the previous year. The return on equity of both the Bank and the Capital Group amounted to 14.2 %.

 

Strong capital and liquidity structure of the Group, which allows for further stable and safe development of the activity is reflected by the capital adequacy ratio, which at the end of the year 2011 was at the level of 17%; the loans to deposits ratio amounted to 88.2 %.

 

The results achieved in 2011 proved the strength of the Bank and its resistance to the increasing volatility of financial markets. The Bank achieved good results despite operating under pressure of uncertain situation on the international financial markets, inclusive of the capital markets. Due to the Bank's focus on the business activity and high activity of the Bank on the market, the sale of consumer loans increased by 18%, and the sale of PLN mortgage loans increased by 27% as compared to 2010. Corporate loans portfolio, together with non quoted securities, reverse repo transactions and securities issued by local governments increased by 20.8% as compared to the year 2010.

 

Good results of the Group achieved in 2011, with the operational profit higher by 13.8% as compared to the year 2010, were mainly influenced by higher income from the operational activity, increasing by 7.1%. Costs of operational control remained under control and increased only by 0.6 %, significantly below inflation.

 

The Bank effectively managed credit risk, continuing its prudent and responsible policy in this respect. Thanks to consistent approach of such a policy in 2011 the cost of risk was 0.63% for the Group and it decreased by 0.05 bps year over year, proving the Bank's competitive edge in this respect. It should be emphasized that the Bank consistently continued the policy of offering mortgage loans only in PLN. Mortgage loans denominated in foreign currency at the end of the year accounted only for 6.5% of the total credit portfolio of the Bank.

 

The results achieved in the year 2011 prove that the conducted policy of sustainable growth enabled the Bank to strengthen its position as the most stable Bank in the Polish banking sector as regards the bank's efficiency.

 

Similarly to previous years, the activity of the Bank in 2011 gained 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 holding that in the past year the awards recognizing the Bank's outstanding involvement in the realization of the strategy of social responsibility of business, inclusive of promoting culture and investments in the human resources: the title of the Mecenas roku 2011 and Top Employer Polska 2011 were of special significance.

 

Assessment of the internal control system

In the opinion of the Supervisory Board the system of internal control in Bank Pekao S.A. functions correctly and ensures effectiveness of control processes.

 

Internal control in the Bank is an ongoing process which is carried out at all organizational levels by the Bank's statutory bodies, by particular organizational units, supervisors at all levels of managerial levels and by all employees.

 

The internal control system 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).

The Management Board is responsible for planning and operation of the internal control system, adjusting it 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 Board of the Bank analyzes systematically the reports on activities of the internal Audit Department and exercises supervision of 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 Bank's internal control system is characterised by a complete and comprehensive approach. Dedicated structures fully cover major areas of risk at the three above mentioned levels of control. The controlling functions towards subsidiaries are exercised via the Bank's representatives in the supervisory boards of these subsidiaries.

 

Assessment of the risk management system

The Supervisory Board positively assesses the risks management system, which functions in 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 Bank 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 in particular for preparation and implementation of risks management strategy, policies and procedures in the area of management of particular risk types. The Management Board is also responsible for effective operation of the risk management and systematic improvement of this process.

 

The Supervisory Board exercises supervision of 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 operational strategy and approving the adopted by the Management Board risk management strategy (ICAAP Procedure), 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. This system encompasses credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk, operational risk and Pillar II risk (owned property risk, financial investments risk, business risk, compliance risk, reputational risk and strategic 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.

 

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 (CRO). Management of Pillar II risks is spread between the Risk Management Division and other divisions where 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 risk and liquidity, whereas the Operational Risk Committee and the Bank Security Committee play an important role in operational risk management.

 

Summary

Summing up, the Supervisory Board assesses the situation of the Bank as good and stable. The assessment is justified by: (i) very good financial results, (ii) high level of the Bank's security, (iii) efficiency of operational activities, (iv) efficient and consistent risk management, (v) structural strength of the balance sheet and capital, (vi) tight costs control, and (vii) effectively operating internal control system.

 

Bank Pekao S.A. has strong foundations to take full advantage of opportunities for sustainable growth and further improvement of its effectiveness. With its strong capital base and strong liquidity structure the Bank is well prepared for the challenges of the year 2012, despite the forecasted economic slowdown.

 

In the opinion of the Supervisory Board the healthy structure of the balance sheet, strong capital base and responsible risk management give grounds to expect strengthening of the position of Bank Pekao S.A. in 2012 and in further years as a leading bank in Poland in terms of financial stability, sustainability of the achieved results, operational effectiveness and effective management of risk, reputation as well as customer and employee satisfaction.

In the opinion of the Board, the number of independent Supervisory Board members ensures control and appropriate actions in case any conflict of interest occurs. The independent members of the Board are free of any connections which might influence their ability to take impartial decisions. They play a significant role in key areas of the Board's operation, in particular in the Audit Committee.

b) Assessment of members of the Supervisory Board, including their work in Committees of the Board

In the assessment of the Board, its members have the required knowledge and experience and they devote the required amount of time to perform their duties. In their conduct they are guided by the interest of the Bank as well as independent judgements and opinions. The Board members come from different environments. There are bankers, representatives of business circles and representatives of the world of science among them. Such diversity positively influences the Board's work, as it allows to view the Bank's matters from different perspectives. The composition of the Supervisory Board is international; the members are Poles, Italians and a British citizen. Owing to that fact different business cultures and different experiences are represented and used in this respect. All the aforementioned features enrich the Board as well as strengthen its independence and effectiveness in exercising supervision of the Bank's activity.
