THE OFFER COMMENCES ON 19 JUNE 2020 AND WILL EXPIRE AT 17:00
HOURS CEST ON 26 JUNE 2020 (THE "EXPIRATION DEADLINE"), UNLESS
EXTED, WITHDRAWN, RE-OPENED OR TERMINATED AT THE SOLE AND ABSOLUTE
DISCRETION OF THE ISSUER. TER INSTRUCTIONS, ONCE SUBMITTED, MAY, IN
PRINCIPLE, NOT BE WITHDRAWN EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES
OUTLINED IN THE TER OFFER MEMORANDUM.
Custodians, Direct Participants and Clearing Systems will have
deadlines for receiving instructions prior to the Expiration
Deadline and holders should contact the intermediary through which
they hold their Notes as soon as possible to ensure proper and
timely delivery of instructions.
Purpose of the Offer
On 14th June 2019, the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway
granted approval for the Issuer to treat call in supplementary
capital as Ancillary Tier 2 own funds (calculated as 2.5 per cent
of the Issuer's total premium reserve at any given time), with
approval for this method granted until 31st December 2023. As a
result, the Issuer has non-eligible Tier 2 own funds.
The purpose of the Offer is therefore to optimise the capital
structure of the Issuer by reducing non-eligible Tier 2 own funds,
and to utilise available liquidity by reducing outstanding
indebtedness and interest costs.
Purchase Price
Subject to the Minimum Denomination in respect of the Notes, the
price payable per EUR1,000 in principal amount of the Notes validly
tendered and accepted for purchase (the "Purchase Price") will be
determined as provided in the Tender Offer Memorandum and is
intended to reflect a yield to the First Call Date of the Notes on
the Settlement Date equal to the Purchase Yield. The Purchase Yield
will be determined as the sum of a fixed spread of 210 basis points
(the "Purchase Spread") and the June 2025 Interpolated Mid--Swap
Rate determined at or around the Pricing Time, expressed as a
percentage and rounded to the third decimal place (with 0.0005
being rounded upwards). In respect of any Notes validly tendered
and accepted for purchase, the Issuer will also pay an amount equal
to any accrued and unpaid interest on the relevant Notes from (and
including) the interest payment date for the Notes immediately
preceding the Settlement Date up to (but excluding) the Settlement
Date, which is expected to be 2 July 2020.
Notes repurchased by the Issuer pursuant to the Offer will be
immediately cancelled. Notes which have not been validly tendered
and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer will remain
outstanding after the Settlement Date.
Accrued Interest Payment
The Issuer will pay accrued and unpaid interest in respect of
all Notes validly tendered and delivered and accepted for purchase
by the Issuer pursuant to the Offer, from (and including) the
interest payment date for the Notes immediately preceding the
Settlement Date to (but excluding) the Settlement Date.
Maximum Acceptance Amount
The Issuer proposes to accept Notes for purchase up to a maximum
aggregate principal amount of EUR 450,000,000 (the "Maximum
Acceptance Amount") on the terms and subject to the conditions
contained in the Tender Offer Memorandum. In the event that the
aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by Tender
Instructions is greater than the Maximum Acceptance Amount, such
Tender Instructions will be accepted on a pro-rata basis such that
the aggregate principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase
pursuant to the Offer is no greater than the Maximum Acceptance
Amount.
Amendment and Termination
The Issuer reserves the right, in its sole and absolute
discretion, to extend, re-open, withdraw or terminate the Offer and
to amend or waive any of the terms and conditions of the Offer
(including, but not limited to, purchasing more than or less than
the Maximum Acceptance Amount) at any time following the
announcement of the Offer, as described in the Tender Offer
Memorandum.
Summary of Action to be Taken
To tender Notes in the Offer, a Noteholder should deliver, or
arrange to have delivered on its behalf, via the relevant Clearing
System and in accordance with the requirements of such Clearing
System, a valid Tender Instruction that is received in each case by
the Tender Agent by the Expiration Deadline.
Tender Instructions must be submitted in respect of a principal
amount of Notes of no less than the Minimum Denomination, and may
be submitted in integral multiples of EUR1,000 thereafter.
Noteholders are advised to check with any bank, securities
broker or other intermediary through which they hold Notes when
such intermediary would require to receive instructions from a
Noteholder in order for that Noteholder to be able to participate
in, or (in the limited circumstances in which revocation is
permitted) revoke their instruction to participate in, the Offer
before the deadlines specified in the Tender Offer Memorandum. The
deadlines set by any such intermediary and each Clearing System for
the submission of Tender Instructions will be earlier than the
relevant deadlines specified in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Tender Offer Memorandum may be directed to the Dealer Managers and

from a Noteholder that is unable to make these representations will
not be accepted.
Each of the Issuer, the Dealer Managers and the Tender Agent
reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to
investigate, in relation to any tender of Notes for purchase
pursuant to the Offer, whether any such representation given by a
Noteholder is correct and, if such investigation is undertaken and
as a result the Issuer determines (for any reason) that such
representation is not correct, such tender or submission may be
rejected.
