Swedbank's Extraordinary General Meeting, 28 October 2021

Swedbank's Board of Directors has decided to convene an Extraordinary General

Meeting ("EGM") on Thursday, 28 October 2021. The Board of Directors proposes a

further ordinary dividend relating to the financial years 2019 and 2020 of SEK

7.30 per share.

Swedbank's Board of Directors has carefully considered the development of the

Covid-19 pandemic and its consequences both for the bank's business and for

society at large. The bank's financial position is strong from both a capital-

and liquidity perspective. Over the course of the pandemic, Swedbank has

supported its customers with financing and advice.

After having evaluated the bank's ability to continue supporting customers and

taken into account that the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority ("SFSA") has

not prolonged its recommendation that banks be restrictive with dividends and

share buybacks, the Board of Directors has decided to propose a further ordinary

dividend relating to the financial years 2019 and 2020 of SEK 7.30 per share.

This proposed dividend together with the dividends that were paid in February

and April 2021, corresponds to 50 per cent of the net profit for the financial

years 2019 and 2020, in accordance to Swedbank's dividend policy.

1 November 2021 is proposed as the record date for the dividend, which means

that the dividend is expected to be paid on 4 November 2021. With such record

date, the last trading day in the Swedbank share, including the right to receive

dividend, will be 28 October 2021, and the first trading day in the Swedbank

share, excluding the right to receive dividend, will be 29 October 2021.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the Board of Directors has decided that the EGM

should be executed without the physical presence of shareholders, proxies or

external participants and that voting may only be done by post prior to the

EGM.A convening notice to the EGM will be issued shortly.
