  1. As of 1 January 2019, the new funds transfer pricing was introduced within the Group. With funds transfer pricing, the internal bank recharges between the Treasury department and Client Business segments are determined and computed. Funds transfer pricing is a central instrument to manage market-price and liquidity risks. With funds transfer pricing, refinancing and liquidity costs between Client Business segments and Treasury are recharged at market-oriented prices. This recharging is applied for new business and resubmissions as from 1 January 2019. The result of this change for the year 2019 amounts to CHF -10.1 million for Client Business Liechtenstein, CHF -0.1 million for Client Business International and CHF 10.2 million for the Corporate Center. The prior-year comparatives were not restated as the change for prior periods was impracticable because of the passage of time as well as the lack of an appropriate data base and the cost of assembling this data retrospectively on an individual-transaction basis would be so high that it would bear no relationship to the benefit to be derived therefrom. The introduction of funds transfer pricing has no impact on the consolidated results of VP Bank Group. 
  2. Calculation in accordance with Table P of the Guidelines to the Liechtenstein Banking Ordinance issued by the Government of Liechtenstein (FL-BankO).
