The Annual General Meeting of DnB NOR ASA will be moved to 29 April 2004 at 2.00 pm. Due to an error on the part of one of DnB NOR ASA`s subcontractors, Posten Norge AS, the notice of the General Meeting was not distributed in time to hold the Annual General Meeting on 27 April 2004. To fulfil the requirement in Section 5-10 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act regarding the deadline for sending the notice, shareholders in DnB NOR ASA are invited to attend the Annual General Meeting to be held on Thursday, 29 April 2004 at 2.00 pm at the Hotel Bristol, Kristian IV`s gt 7, Oslo. Enclosed on www.newsweb.no is the new notice of the Annual General Meeting in DnB NOR ASA and the notice presented earlier. We regret that it has not been possible to prepare a completely new notice, including new registration and proxy forms. However, this was not feasible due to the time element and the requirement in the Articles of Association to hold the General Meeting by the end of April. Shareholders are thus asked to disregard the date and time set in the notice, annual report, registration and proxy forms presented earlier. Registration and proxy forms with the original date for the General Meeting will be accepted. The items on the agenda and details on the items are presented in the notice presented earlier. Please note that the Board of Directors will propose two minor changes in item 5 in consequence of the postponement of the General Meeting. The changes imply that dividends will be distributed to registered shareholders as at 29 April 2004 and that the shares in DnB NOR ASA will be quoted ex- dividend on 30 April 2004.
