  • Improved credit quality and reversals at all business units

except for C&I resulted in a net reversal of DKK 0.2 bn

  • At Personal Banking, credit quality improved as property

prices increased & customers refinanced to amortising loans

  • Net reversals at Business Banking largely driven by

commercial property customers. Lower new impairments to the agriculture sector due to improved output prices

  • Increased collateral values drove net reversals in Wealth

Management and Northern Ireland

  • Higher impairments at C&I due to a collective charge of DKK

DKK 450 m towards oil-related exposure

11 11 * On June 30 2016, Danske Bank Group stopped consolidating Danmarks Skibskredit A/S and LR Realkredit A/S for the purpose of regulatory capital. This lead to a drop in CET1 of DKK 3 bn and a simultaneous drop in REA of DKK 16.2 bn.** Before goodwill impairment charges *** Based on year-end communicated distributions

Strong CET1 capital build-up since 2008; Available Distributable Items (ADI) in excess of DKK 100 bn

  • Nominal CET1 has increased by DKK 56 bn and the CET1

ratio has doubled from 8.1% to 16.3% from 2008 until today

  • Profits generated since 2013 have allowed us to distribute

DKK 48.5 bn back to the shareholders while maintaining a strong CET1 ratio

  • Danske Bank intends to manage its CET1 capital ratio to

provide a prudent cushion to its CBR to mitigate against the risk of distribution restrictions under CRD IV

Regulatory themes - MREL

Own funds and senior unsecured* (% of REA) MREL requirements in Denmark (preliminary)

  • Danske Bank as a D-SIFI will be subject to MREL requirements.
  • Danske Bank welcomes the review of the BRRD and the

proposal to harmonise the TLAC standard and MREL.

  • We expect an MREL requirement from the Danish FSA before

the end of 2017.

  • The final outcome is yet to be determined.

Volume:

  • The Danish FSA has signaled willingness to discuss transitional

arrangements with the industry. Details are yet to be disclosed.

  • FSA’s preliminary calibration of MREL in line with the current

EBA guidelines (not accounting for the proposed changes to the BRRD), i.e.,

  • Loss absorption amount = total capital req. + CBR
  • Recapitalisation amount = loss absorption amount

Type of instrument:

  • Subordination is expected in some form as part of the eligibility

requirements for MREL and the FSA has said that it wishes to conform with any emerging European standard. With appropriate transitional arrangements, our relatively short senior maturity profile leaves ample flexibility to refinance into a new eligible instrument.

Transaction rationale

CRR/CRD IV efficiency A strong CET1 ratio is supplemented by Additional Tier 1 capital. This serves to adjust the Group’s capital structure to be more in line with our capital targets and in a manner that is efficient under CRR/CRD IV. Grandfathered “Hybrid Tier 1 capital” of DKK 12 bn. will lose regulatory efficiency in 2017. Rating Strengthens the capital as measured by rating agencies by enhancing the Group’s loss-absorbing capital, supporting the Group’s overall rating ambitions. Leverage ratio and Pillar II Full recognition for the leverage ratio and beneficial in relation to Pillar II requirements. Support for senior creditors Increases protection to senior creditors. Diversifying into new currencies Conversion instrument has been chosen to allow for diversifying our Additional Tier 1 into other currencies. Only convertible instruments allow hedging of the exchange rate risk without inducing P&L volatility.

Restriction on marketing and sales to Retail Investors The Notes are complex financial instruments and are not a suitable or appropriate investment for all investors. In some jurisdictions, regulatory authorities have adopted or published laws, regulations or guidance with respect to the offer or sale of securities such as the Notes to retail investors. In particular, in June 2015, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) published the Product Intervention (Contingent Convertible Instruments and Mutual Society Shares) Instrument 2015 which took effect on 1 October 2015 (the “PI Instrument”). Under the rules set out in the PI Instrument (as amended or replaced from time to time, the “PI Rules”), certain contingent write-down or convertible securities (including any beneficial interests therein), such as the Notes must not be sold to retail clients in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) and there must not be any communication or approval of an invitation or inducement to participate in, acquire or underwrite such securities (or the beneficial interest in such securities) where that invitation or inducement is addressed to or disseminated in such a way that it is likely to be received by a retail client in the EEA (in each case, within the meaning of the PI Rules), other than in accordance with the limited exemptions set out in the PI Rules. Potential investors should inform themselves of and comply with any applicable laws, regulations or regulatory guidance with respect to any resale of the Notes, including the PI Rules, as the case may be. By purchasing, or making or accepting an offer to purchase any Notes from the Issuer and/or any of the Joint-Lead Managers, you represent, warrant, agree with and undertake to the Issuer and each of the Joint-Lead Managers that: (1) you are not a retail client in the EEA (as defined in the PI Rules); (2) whether or not you are subject to the PI Rules, you will not: (a) sell or offer the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) to retail clients in the EEA; or (b) communicate (including the distribution of the Offering Memorandum) or approve an invitation or inducement to participate in, acquire or underwrite the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) where that invitation or inducement is addressed to or disseminated in such a way that it is likely to be received by a retail client in the EEA (in each case within the meaning of the PI Rules), in any such case other than (i) in relation to any sale of or offer to sell Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) to a retail client in or resident in the United Kingdom, in circumstances that do not and will not give rise to a contravention of the PI Rules by any person and/or (ii) in relation to any sale of or offer to sell Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) to a retail client in any EEA member state

  • ther than the United Kingdom, where (a) you have conducted an assessment and concluded that the relevant retail client understands

the risks of an investment in the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) and are able to bear the potential losses involved in an investment in the Notes (or such beneficial interests therein) and (b) you have at all times acted in relation to such sale or offer in compliance with the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (2004/39/EC) ("MiFID") to the extent it applies to you or, to the extent MiFID does not apply to you, in a manner which would be in compliance with MiFID if it were to apply to you; and
