The board of SpareBank 1 Østlandet has decided to continue the savings program
for employees in the group for 2022. The board has expressed an objective and a
wish that an ongoing savings programs in equity certificates should be part of
the bank's incentive system.

Permanent employees of the bank and the bank's subsidiaries can participate in
the savings program. The purpose of the program is to motivate the group's
employees to become owners of the bank and at the same time ensure increased
attention both in relation to strategic goals, as well as ongoing value creation
and development.

Employees are invited to save a fixed amount a month to buy equity certificates
in the bank. Employees who sign up for the savings scheme will be able to save
an annual amount of either NOK 6,000, 12,000, 18,000 or 24,000 through a monthly
deduction from salary in the period January to December 2022. The savings amount
will be used to buy equity certificates in SpareBank 1 Østlandet on behalf of
the employees participating in the savings program.

SpareBank 1 Østlandet aims to complete the purchase of equity certificates in
the market every quarter on the day or days following the presentation of the
results for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2022, respectively, and, if
necessary, again in the 4th quarter of 2022. SpareBank 1 Markets will acquire
the equity certificates on behalf of the bank.

The employees will be allocated equity certificates as soon as possible after
the completion of the individual repurchases. Employees will be allocated the
equity certificates at the same rate as SpareBank 1 Østlandet pays, ie market
rate, without any kind of discount. The purchase price and the number of shares
acquired by the bank will be announced in accordance with current regulations.

Two years after each allocation in the savings program for 2022, employees who
have not disposed of any of the equity certificates purchased through the
savings program during 2022 will be allocated free equity certificates (bonus
certificates). The bonus certificates that will be distributed in 2024 will be
awarded in arrears every quarter after the end of the corresponding period as
two years earlier. Two equity certificates purchased through the savings program
in the corresponding period in 2022 will entitle one bonus certificate.

See the table below for an overview of primary insiders in SpareBank 1 Østlandet
who have signed up for the savings program for 2022. The amounts stated are
total savings amounts for 2022. Number of equity certificates allocated and
purchase price for the equity certificates sold to the individual primary
insider according to the savings program, will be announced at the times of
resale of equity certificates to employees.
