            Information other than the financial statements and auditors’ report thereon

            The directors of the Bank are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the directors’ report and
            the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements of the Group and of the Bank and our
            auditors’ report thereon, which is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors’ report.

            Our opinion on the financial statements of the Group and of the Bank does not cover the other information and we do not express
            any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
            In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Bank, our responsibility is to read the other
            information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements of the
            Group and of the Bank or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

            If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditors’ report,
            we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing
            to report in this regard on the directors’ report.

            When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate
            the matter to the directors of the Bank and take appropriate action.
