Early in 2020, the Group obtained funding from the Gazprom Group in subordinated interest-free demand deposits totaling RUB 40,000 mln (in 2019 – RUB 90,000 mln). Since these deposits do not have any maturity date and are interest-free, the Group classified them into the capital in the consolidated statement of financial position, and also as part of Tier 1 capital for the purposes of calculating the capital adequacy ratio. The Central Bank of Russia approved the inclusion of demand and interest-free deposits in the additional capital when calculating capital adequacy in accordance with the national rules.

In July 2020, the bank placed USD 250.25 mln subordinated bonds. The Central Bank of Russia approved the inclusion of the above subordinated bonds in Tier 2 capital when calculating capital adequacy in accordance with the national rules.

At the same time, April 2020 saw the early redemption of USD 1 bn perpetual Eurobonds. July 2020 witnessed the redemption of USD 400 mln subordinated Eurobonds on their maturity date.

In December 2020, the General meeting of the Bank resolved on the increase of authorized capital, and in March 2021, additional ordinary shares were placed for the total amount of RUB 25 bn.

The Group’s risk weighted assets were up 0.4% to RUB 6,271.8 bn in 3M2021.

Hence, the Group’s capital adequacy indicators as at 31 March 2021 were as follows: the Group’s total capital adequacy ratio at 13.6% (compared to 12.7% at year-end 2020 – a rise of 0.9 p.p. for 3M2021); the Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio at 12.6% (compared to 11.8% at year-end 2020 – a rise of 0.8 p.p. for 3M2021).
