The table below sets out the expected reduction in post-tax profits in the relevant reporting period of NatWest Group plc (on a consolidated and a solo legal entity basis) and NatWest Markets N.V.

   1.   Determined using the applicable f oreign exchange rates on August 10, 2022.

2. After taking into account the estimated effect of taxation, and based on risk weighted assets of GBP179.8 billion as reported for June 30, 2022, this would equate to a reduction in NatWest Group plc's (consolidated) CET1 capital ratio of approximately 7bps.

3. After taking into account the estimated effect of taxation, and the effect of the unwinding of a related hedging transaction with NatWest Group plc (solo), NWM N.V. does not expect its repurchases to have a material impact on its CET1 capital ratio.
