EBA Tightens Stress Requirements
Following completion of the capital exercise conducted by the European Banking Authority, in close cooperation with the competent national authority, the exercise has determined that under the consideration of the enhanced stress test conditions, WestLB AG has a capital shortfall of € 224 million. In consideration of the ongoing restructuring process of WestLB AG, which results in a split-off of WestLB AG by June 30, 2012, no additional measurements/plans in agreement with the national supervisory authorities are necessary.
