The SEK 1 000 million bond that pays a floating coupon of three-month Stibor    
plus 3.7% was tapped with SEK 400 million of new notes issued with a Stibor +   
2.75% at a price of 104.107. The settlement date of the transaction is 1        
December 2010. Following the tap, a total of SEK 1 400 million of the bond is   
outstanding.                                                                    

Sole arranger and bookrunner for these transactions was Skandinaviska Enskilda

“The tapping follows the two bonds issued on 24 August 2010. Those bonds have   
performed well and we felt there was additional demand for our bonds. We

at attractive levels. The Group has strong liquidity and we continue to manage  
our short-term maturities and maturity profile proactively,” says Jyrki
