DNB Bank ASA has decided to initiate a new share buy-back programme comprising
up to 0.5 percent of the company's own shares, which represents a total of
7,388,024 shares. The buy-back programme was adopted based on an authorisation
given by the Annual General Meeting held on 29 April 2025. The Financial
Supervisory Authority of Norway has approved the buy-back programme, on the
condition that the total buy-backs do not reduce the company's own funds by more
than NOK 2,217 million.

The purpose of the buy-back programme is to optimise the company's capital
structure, by reducing the common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio by 0.2 percentage
points.

Up to 0.33 percent of the company's own shares, which equals 4,876,096 shares,
will be bought back on trading venues, at a price of between NOK 10 and NOK 330
per share. The buy-backs will, at the latest, end on 20 March 2026. DNB Carnegie
will manage the buy-backs on behalf of the company, and decide the timing of the
purchases independently of the company. The shares that are purchased will be
proposed cancelled at the next Annual General Meeting.

The remaining 0.17 percent of the shares - up to 2,511,928 shares - will at the
same Annual General Meeting be proposed redeemed from the Norwegian Government,
represented by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries ("NFD"), so that
NFD's ownership interest of 34 percent remains unchanged. NFD's shares will be
redeemed at a price equal to the average price of the shares bought back on
trading venues, with the addition of an interest compensation.

The buy-back programme will be carried out in accordance with the Market Abuse
Regulation and the regulation regarding buy-back programmes and stabilisation
measures.

The company currently owns 19,504,384 own shares, which were repurchased in 2025
and earlier in 2026.
