A number of factors could cause results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements including, without limitation, general economic and business conditions, industry trends, competition, prices in the residential mortgage industry, changes in regulation, currency fluctuations. Forward-looking statements may, and often do, differ materially from actual results.

In addition, Swedbank cannot assess the impact of each factor on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those described in any forward-looking statements.

The Covered Bond Act entered into force on July 1, 2004 and is over-sighted by the Swedish

  • FSA. Its main characteristics are:

Dual recourse to the issuer and cover pool

Dynamic, regulated pool of assets – frequently monitored by the Swedish FSA via appointment of an independent inspector

Regulated valuation of cover pool assets

The cover pool may consist of certain mortgage credits, public credits and supplemental assets

Maximum LTVs: Residential 75%, Agricultural 70%, Commercial 60%

Maximum 10% commercial loans and 20% supplemental assets in cover pool

Regular monitoring of the property values (reviewed on a monthly basis by Swedbank)

The cover pool value shall always exceed the aggregate value of claims (including derivatives)

A sound balance in terms of FX, interest rates and maturities must be achieved. It is deemed to exist when the present value of the cover pool at all times exceed the present value of liabilities (including derivatives), even on a stressed basis

Non-performing assets in the cover pool which are more than 60 days overdue must be disregarded for the purposes of the matching tests

Holders of covered bonds and relevant derivative counterparties benefit from a priority claim

  • ver the cover pool should the institution be declared bankrupt

Holders of covered bonds and relevant derivative counterparties rank pari passu ahead of unsecured creditors and all other creditors of the Institution in respect of assets in the cover pool

The assets in the cover pool, the covered bonds and any relevant derivative contracts that have been entered into the Register are required to be maintained as a unit and kept segregated from other assets and liabilities of the bankruptcy estate of the Institution

The administrators-in-bankruptcy are then required to procure the continued timely service of payments due under the covered bonds and any relevant derivative contracts

Administration of the cover pool in the event of bankruptcy

  • Should an Institution be declared bankrupt, at least one administrator-in-bankruptcy would be appointed by the bankruptcy court and
  • ne administrator-in-bankruptcy would be appointed by the Swedish FSA. The administrators-in-bankruptcy would take over the

administration of the bankruptcy estate, including the Cover Pool.

  • Provided that (and as long as) the Cover Pool meets the requirements of the Covered Bond Act (including the matching

requirements), the assets in the Cover Pool, the covered bonds and any relevant derivative contracts that have been entered into the Register are required to be maintained as a unit and kept segregated from other assets and liabilities of the bankruptcy estate of the Institution. The administrators-in-bankruptcy are then required to procure the continued timely service of payments due under the covered bonds and any relevant derivative contracts. Consequently, the bankruptcy would not as such result in early repayment

  • r suspension of payments to holders of covered bonds or to counterparties to derivative contracts, so long as the Cover Pool

continues to meet the requirements of the Covered Bond Act.

  • If, however, the Cover Pool ceases to meet the requirements of the Covered Bond Act, and the deviations are not just temporary

and minor, the Cover Pool may no longer be maintained as a unit and the continuous payment under the terms and conditions of the covered bonds and derivative contracts will cease. The holders of covered bonds and counterparties to derivative contracts would in such case instead benefit from a priority claim over the proceeds of a sale of the assets in the Cover Pool in accordance with general bankruptcy rules. This could result in the holders of covered bonds receiving payment according to a schedule that is different from that contemplated by the terms and conditions of the covered bonds (with accelerations as well as delays) or that the holders of covered bonds are not paid in full. However, the holders of covered bonds and derivative counterparties would retain the benefit of the right of priority to the assets comprised in the Cover Pool. Any residual claims of the holders of covered bonds and derivative counterparties remain valid claims against the Institution, but will rank pari passu with other unsecured and unsubordinated claims.
