In the legal proceedings initiated by Rasperia Trading Limited (“Rasperia”) against STRABAG SE, STRABAG SE’s Austrian core shareholders and RBI’s (Raiffeisen Bank International) wholly owned Russian subsidiary AO Raiffeisenbank, a Russian court has today rendered its verdict. The court has decided that STRABAG SE and its Austrian core shareholders are liable to pay EUR 2.044 billion to Rasperia and that the verdict can be enforced against AO Raiffeisenbank’s assets. AO Raiffeisenbank will appeal this verdict with suspensive effect. Subject to further developments in Russian courts, RBI Group will take legal actions in Austria, in full compliance with EU sanction law, to mitigate damages by seeking enforcement against Rasperia’s assets in Austria. AO Raiffeisenbank will book a provision for Q4/2024, in accordance with IFRS and Russian accounting standards. Pending an external audit opinion, the provision would reflect the amount awarded to Rasperia by the Russian court today (EUR 2.044 billion) minus the expected proceeds from enforcement of legal recourse against Rasperia’s assets in Austria. These consist of 28.5 million STRABAG SE shares, including the attached dividends from years 2021, 2022, and 2023, and the cash distribution from the March 2024 capital reduction. In its verdict, the Russian court has also acceded to Rasperia’s request according to which the ownership rights for the shares of STRABAG SE held by Rasperia are to be transferred to AO Raiffeisenbank. However, Russian verdicts have no binding effect in Austria and the transfer of shares is therefore not enforceable. Furthermore, Rasperia’s STRABAG SE shares are subject to an asset freeze under EU sanctions which also currently prevents their transfer.

Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI) has today signed an agreement on the sale of its 87.74 per cent stake in Priorbank JSC and its subsidiaries to Soven 1 Holding Limited – thereby completing the negotiations which were announced on February 14, 2024 (Ad-hoc release February 2024). The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and successful closing, which is expected in Q4/2024. At closing, the transaction is expected to have an estimated negative impact of approximately EUR 300 million on RBI Group’s consolidated profit, resulting mainly from the difference betweenpurchase price and book value of Priorbank JSC. At closing, the impact on RBI Group’s CET1 ratio excluding Russia is expected around -5 basis points, resulting from the estimated difference between purchase price and book value of the equity and from the deconsolidation of the RWAs of Priorbank JSC. At closing, the transaction is expected to have a further estimated negative impact on RBI Group’s consolidated profit of c. EUR 500 million. This will have no impact on the regulatory capital andcapital ratios of RBI Group and is related to the reclassification of predominantly historical FX losses currently recognized in other comprehensive income. With the completion of this transaction, RBI will have successfully exited the Belarusian market, and thereby reduced its operational complexity in line with its de-risking strategy in Eastern Europe. Under its new ownership Priorbank JSC will operate in a fully independent manner.
Russian court has today issued a preliminary injunction, by which shares of AO Raiffeisenbank are subject to a transfer ban with immediate effect. Raiffeisen Bank International AG (“RBI”) is the 100% shareholder of AO Raiffeisenbank. The decision is related to the legal proceedings recently initiated by Rasperia Trading Limited in Russia against STRABAG SE, its Austrian core shareholders and AO Raiffeisenbank. AO Raiffeisenbank is mentioned in the claim as related to the other defendants, although not accused of any wrongdoing. RBI is not a party to these proceedings. As a result of today’s decision RBI cannot transfer its shares in AO Raiffeisenbank. This complicates the sales process in which RBI seeks to sell a controlling stake in AO Raiffeisenbank – and will inevitably lead to further delays. RBI will attempt to reverse today’s court decision by all legal means.
In recent exchanges with the relevant authorities, Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI) has been unable to obtain the required comfort in order to proceed with the proposed transaction. In an abundance of caution, the bank has decided to walk away from the deal. Since the start of the war, RBI has significantly reduced its activities in Russia and taken broad measures to mitigate the risks from the increased sanction and compliance requirements. Independently from the decision to cancel the STRABAG SE transaction, RBI will continue to work towards the deconsolidation of its Russian subsidiary.
Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI) expects the European Central Bank (ECB) in the near term to issue a request for an acceleration of the business reduction in Russia, which RBI has been conducting since February 2022. Under the current draft of the requirements, loans to customers would decrease significantly by 2026 (up to 65 per cent vs. Q3/2023), as would international payments originating from Russia. Since February 2022, RBI has taken substantial measures to mitigate the risks deriving from its ownership of AO Raiffeisenbank in Russia, including specifically risks to its capital position and liquidity, and risks from increased sanction compliance requirements. The ECB’s draft requirements go far beyond RBI’s own plans to further reduce the Russian business and may adversely impact RBI’s options to sell AO Raiffeisenbank. RBI is committed to achieving the deconsolidation of AO Raiffeisenbank, including via a sale of the unit.
