Banca Transilvania's shareholders approved BT's merger with OTP Bank Romania at today's Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders.

The integration of OTP Bank Romania into Banca Transilvania started in August 2024 and ends on February 28, 2025, through the merger of the two banks.

• Banca Transilvania and OTP Bank Romania will operate independently until the merger and will continue to ensure a smooth transition for OTP Bank Romania customers.
• February 28, 2025 represents the date on which OTP Bank Romania customers will become BT customers, being also the last day in which they can still use OTP Bank Romania products and services.

I would like to thank our shareholders for this vote of confidence on the plan to merge Banca Transilvania with OTP Bank Romania. It is BT's fastest integration, realized in just seven months. The period elapsed so far has unfolded according to our ambitious plan, due to the collaboration of 750 people - part of the two banks teams, who have allocated more than 150,000 hours to specific projects. I am confident that the integration will go smoothly until the end, together with BT's organic growth.
