Vienna, 7 December 2016. Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI) and Alior
Bank S.A. have not reached an agreement with regard to the sale of the core
banking operations of Raiffeisen Bank Polska S.A. and have ended the sales
negotiations.

The sale of Raiffeisen Bank Polska was part of the transformation program
to strengthen regulatory capital ratios, which was announced in February
2015. It is aimed to achieve a CET1 ratio (fully loaded) of at least 12 per
cent and a total capital ratio (fully loaded) of at least 16 per cent by
the end of 2017. As a result of the measures already implemented, the CET1
ratio (fully loaded) for RBI amounted to 12.3 per cent as at 30 September
2016 and for the Combined Bank comprising Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich
AG (RZB) and RBI it amounted to 11.3 per cent pro forma. Taking profit from
the third quarter of 2016 as well as effects from the concluded sale of
Raiffeisen Leasing Polska into account, these ratios would be around 13 per
cent and 11.9 per cent respectively (both unaudited). Therefore, RBI
expects to achieve its CET1 ratio (fully loaded) objective of at least 12
per cent without any extraordinary measures by the end of 2017.
