Aktia plc: Interim report 1 January-30 June 2013


Aktia plc                                    
                                interim report                                  
                               january-june 2013                                
                     Merged with aktia Bank plc 1 july 2013                     
Increased sales in tough market conditions                                      
CEO jussi laitinen                                                              
”Aktia's sales improved and the net interest income was stable despite the      
difficult market situation and continuing low interest rates. However, the new  
bank tax and our efforts to build a new core banking system increased costs.    
Aktia's capital adequacy was strengthened during the second quarter, clearly    
exceeding the new Basel III requirements. Aktia's Action plan 2015 has proceeded
as planned; modernisation of the core banking system commenced, the first issue 
of covered bonds was made in June, the card operations were renewed, and the    
merger between Aktia plc and Aktia Bank pls was carried out on 1 July 2013. As  
an element in our drive for profitable growth, Aktia is negotiating a merger    
with the savings bank Saaristosäästöpankki Oy. This  would strengthen Aktia's   
position in the Turunmaa area of Finland.”

OUTLOOK (unchanged): Despite the probably persistent low interest rate level,   
and major one-off costs from implementing the Plan of Action for 2015, the      
Group's operating profit from continuing operations for 2013 is expected to     
reach approximately the 2012 level.
