14 November 2017

As announced on 2 February 2017, Danske Bank A/S is looking into the
possibilities of merging its activities in Finland into a single Finnish branch.
As a part of this process, the decision by the Board of Directors of Danske Bank
Plc to approve the merger of Danske Bank Plc with its parent company Danske Bank
A/S has been registered in the Finnish Trade Register on 14 November, 2017. The
merger is expected to take effect from 31 December 2017.

The merger is subject to the final approval by the Board of Directors of Danske
Bank A/S and registration in the Danish Trade Register.

Following the merger, Danske Bank's banking services will be offered in Finland
by Danske Bank A/S, Finland Branch. Through the planned merger, the Danske Bank
Group will achieve a uniform, simple organisational structure across the Nordic
markets. The simpler our organization is, the easier it is for us to develop our
services to the benefit of our customers.

The planned merger will be primarily of a technical nature and will not change
the way in which the bank serves its customers, nor will employees experience
changes.
