GLOBAL INVESTMENT BANKING REVENUES EXPECTED TO EXCEED $21 BILLION BY 27 Investment banking industry is expected to grow at a measured rate of five percent annually until 27 Commoditization in equities and a slow down in fixed income will compress profit margins slightly M&A Advisory is expected to grow faster than its long-term growth rate Industry consolidation and friendly market conditions will spur advisory and equities underwriting businesses Strong Euro may prompt some U.S. acquisitions by European companies Hedge funds and equities derivatives will be key growth drivers of equities business in the next two years while proprietary trading revenues are expected to stay stable Increasing interest rates in the U.S. are leading to slower growth in fixed income. However, overall global fixed income revenues will remain robust Commodities and foreign exchange trading continue to grow European interest rates are unlikely to increase soon -4-

Fixed-Income Trading BANKS FIXED-INCOME SALES & TRADING FINISHED THE YEAR STRONGLY 24 was a record year in fixed income trading A very strong first quarter 24 led to an overall year-on-year increase in fixed income Global fixed income trading revenues of the leading banks increased by 6 percent from last year As the U.S. yield curve continues to flatten, fixed income revenue growth is most likely to slow down Spread between 2-year and 1-year treasuries currently less than 1 basis points Measured interest rate increases are likely to continue in 25 However, a dramatic fixed income revenue decline seems unlikely European interest rates are expected to remain low Growth in commodities and foreign exchange trading will support overall trading revenues -24-
