Jun 4, 2014

Copenhagen, 2014-06-04 15:38 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Announcement no. 38

Today, DFDS has issued a five-year DKK 500m senior unsecured bond maturing in
June 2019. The bond has been sold to a wide range of primarily Danish
institutional investors.

“We have experienced an increasing interest for a DKK-denominated bond issue
and we are therefore very pleased that our third corporate bond issue has
allowed us to accommodate this investor demand”, says Torben Carlsen, CFO of
DFDS.

The bond issue is part of an ongoing process to optimize DFDS’ financing
structure. DFDS has previously issued corporate bonds of NOK 500m in April 2012
and NOK 700m in March 2013.

The bond has been issued with a floating rate in DKK of a three month CIBOR
interest rate plus 163 basis points.

Similarly to the 2012 and 2013 bond issues, the new bond will be listed on Oslo
Børs (Oslo Stock Exchange). Danske Bank A/S and Nordea Markets have acted as
joint lead managers of the bond issue.
