Presently Greek banks rank as some of the least profitable in Europe (ROA <0.5%, ROE 2-2.5%). Looking
forward to 2018 they should trade at least in line with European banks. Sector consolidation, NC asset
disposal, rapidly declining cost of wholesale funds and efficiency savings will all contribute to that.
The Sector comprises Alpha Bank, Eurobank, Nat Bk of Greece and Piraeus. The are no longer distressed and
trade broadly in-line with European peers in terms of EPS and TBV multiples.
Alpha Bank (ALPHA GA)
Of the three, Alpha Bank looks the most interesting. It trades at a discount to the others and has less
complex re-structuring. A recent capital raise increased Cif to 12%. Most analysts prefer Alpha Bank to
its peers for these reasons.

warrants
A year ago the bank issued 4.5year call warrants, exercisable every six months into the stock at a
price schedule (appendix A) that varies over time
the relationship between the warrant (which settles physically) and the stock price is:
[Current stock price (0.69) - next exercise price of warrant (0.4686)] x leverage ratio 7.408 =
intrinsic warrant px - 1.64.
Now, the warrant is offered at 1.83. The value here is that the difference between 1.83 and 1.64, in my
view, doesnt compensate for the optionality you get holding the warrant compared to just holding the
stock.

Were the stock to rise 10% over the next month the warrant would rise in value from 1.83 by approx 22%.
conversely if the stock were to fall the warrants would also fall - but its unlikely the warrant price
trades at zero anytime soon due to the 3.Syears of remaining tine value.
The warrants are quoted several thousand up ltick wide on exchange.
Any qns shout.
