Division 3.1

By reference to WestLB’s audited balance sheet total for 31 December 2007 (EUR 287 billion), the balance sheet total is to be reduced by 25 % by 31 March 2010 and by 50 % by 31 March 2011, excluding the market value of derivatives (EUR [20–60] billion on 31 December 2007). In absolute figures, the net balance sheet total is thus to be reduced from EUR [200–280] billion to no more than EUR [150–250] billion by 31 March 2010, excluding the market value of derivatives, and to no more than EUR [80–180] billion by 31 March 2011, excluding the market value of derivatives.
