Investment property

In May 2022 Triodos Bank announced its intention to optimise its resources and deliver increased impact for the bank’s customers and investors. This restructure will help the bank to realise cost savings of approximately EUR 11-12 million. The restructuring is aiming to optimise the Bank through integration. To enable this restructuring Triodos Bank has recorded a restructuring provision of EUR 4.3 million, representing the cost related to redundancies. Any costs related to ongoing business such as retraining or relocating employees and consulting fees are not provided for. Further details over the restructuring plan can be found under note 16 Provisions, within the consolidated accounts of Triodos Bank.
In 2021, a provision of EUR 2.3 million was recorded in relation to a sale in 2019 of an investment within a managed investment fund that had been marked, in retrospect, for a fiscal claim, in which case part of the received management fee might need to be repaid. This provision has been derecognised in 2022 due to developments that have made the probability of future payments highly unlikely.
The movement of the other provisions is as follows:

In 2021 Triodos Bank realised a successful placement of a subordinated Green Bond. The Green Bond has a nominal value of EUR 250 million, a tenor of 10.25 years, and a coupon of 2.25% for the first five and a quarter years after which there is an option to early redeem the bond. If the bond is not early redeemed, the interest rate is reset to maturity at 2.4% above the annual Euro mid swap rate. The Green Bond has been placed below nominal value at 99.497%. The placement of the Green Bond results in an increase of the Tier 2 Capital which is a diversification of the Total Capital of Triodos Bank.
The Green Bond has been issued taking into account the ICMA Green Bond Principles, Climate Bond Initiative Standards and the EU Taxonomy recommendations. It has been assessed by a Second Party Opinion as best market practice on all components. This confirms Triodos Bank’s ambition to ‘change finance, by financing change’ and underlines its position as frontrunner in sustainable banking.
The movement of the subordinated Green Bond issued is as follows:
Equity
Share capital
The authorised capital totals to an amount of EUR 1.5 billion and is divided into 30 million ordinary shares, each with a nominal value of EUR 50.

Contingent liabilities
This item relates to credit-substitute guarantees and non-credit-substitute guarantees that are partly secured by blocked accounts for the same amount.
Amounts in thousands of EUR | 2022 | 2021 |

Total contingent liabilities | 66,143 | 89,042 |
Credit substitute guarantees are guarantees to customers for loans provided to these customers by other banks. Non-credit substitute guarantees are guarantees to customers for all other obligations of these customers to third parties. For example:
Obligations to purchase sustainable goods, such as wind turbines.
Obligations to decommission equipment or reinstate property (mostly related to project finance provided by Triodos Bank).
During 2020, Triodos Bank has provided a guarantee with a maximum of EUR 20 million to Triodos Investment Management relating to a transaction that was made on behalf of an investment fund managed by Triodos Investment Management. Triodos Bank receives a fee of 0.1% per annum over the maximum guarantee.
The decrease of the credit substitute guarantees is mainly due to the conversion, by a client, of a large credit substitute guarantee into a loan agreement with Triodos Bank.
The decrease of the non-credit substitute guarantees is mainly due to the termination of a few large bank guarantees.
Contingent liabilities - Legal proceedings
Triodos Bank is involved in a number of legal proceedings. Management assesses the outcome of litigation matters, and takes provisions when expected losses with respect to such matters are more likely than not. Provisions are not recognised for matters against Triodos Bank for which an expected outflow of resources cannot be reliably estimated or that are not more likely than not to lead to an outflow of resources. Therefore, per year end Triodos Bank has a contingent liability due to legal proceedings in relation to Depository Receipts. For more information on the contingent liavility, refer to 19 Contingent liabilities .
Irrevocable facilities
These relate to the total liabilities in respect of irrevocable undertakings, which may lead to a further loan.
