Information on any known trends that may influence the Issuer or market perspective in which the Issuer operates

The year of 2012 for the Lithuanian banking was a breakthrough point, when the credit portfolio of banks which until then was dramatically declining over a several-years’ period of time started stabilising in the market. According to the Bank of Lithuania, in 2012, as compared to 2011, the banks loan portfolio increased by 2 per cent.

In the 1st half-year 2013, Lithuania’s economy was marked by successful growth enhanced not only by export, but also by household consumption. Expectations of businesses and private individuals were improving; after a long pause there was a recovery in real wages, and the number of real estate market recovery signals was increasing. Favourable economic environment preconditioned stability in the improvement of SEB Bankas Group’s performance within the 1st half-year of 2013.

The positive growth of the Lithuanian banks loan portfolio is expected in 2013—preconditions for further growth in the loan portfolio consists of moderate growth in the national economy, increasing lending commitments, as well as increased free cash

C.10, C.15 Value dependence of non-equity securities on change in value of reference item to which non-equity securities are linked and on (non)occurrence of certain credit events related to the legal entity

The value of the reference item linked notes, investment notes and structured notes depends on the change in value of the underlying reference item (shares, commodities, currencies, etc.) and/or on (non)occurrence of certain credit events, related to the legal entity indicated in the Final Terms of the issue.

Investors investing in the reference item linked notes, investment notes or structured notes should know that changes in value of non-equity securities linked to reference item prior to their redemption date may not correlate with the change in value of the reference item to which such non-equity securities are linked or with (non)occurrence of certain credit events related to particular legal entity; it depends on the change in value of the derivative of the reference item to which these non-equity securities are linked and the changes in the market interest rates within the maturity term of such non-equity securities.

For instance, if interest rates in the market increase, the value of non-equity securities linked to reference item may decrease irrespective of the change in value of the reference item or (non)occurrence of certain credit events related to particular legal entity. Changes in value of non-equity securities linked to reference item prior to the redemption date may be great and bigger than the changes in value of the reference item to which such non-equity securities are linked and depend on the values of the variables of the issue (participation ratio, range of interval values of the reference item, etc.). In general, the bigger participation ratio, the greater

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS


SEB

changes in value of non-equity securities within the period until the redemption date thereof. The above feature of non-equity securities linked to reference item is not important for investors who retain the subscribed non-equity securities until the redemption date thereof. The calculation method (i.e., components of the redemption price) of the non-equity security value (redemption price), which shall be paid to the investors on the redemption date, shall be specified in the Final Terms of the issue.

C.11
Admission to trading on regulated market

Non-equity securities issued under this Base Prospectus may be admitted to the trading lists of regulated markets (Debt Securities Trading List of NASDAQ OMX Vilnius Stock Exchange, other regulated markets trading lists).

Information about the application to the regulated market operator for admission to trading on the regulated market of the particular securities issued under this Prospectus shall be established in the Final Terms.

Summary of the Issue(s) (Final Terms No. 2013XXXX/XXX):

Listing on regulated market trading lists: [Specify whether the securities of the issue will be listed on regulated market trading lists and, if known, the date when the securities of the issue will be listed on regulated market trading lists]

In case it is established in the Final Terms of the issues under the Programme that the request to admit the issued non-equity securities on the regulated market may be submitted to trading, the investor subscribing for non-equity securities issued by the Bank in the primary trading shall face the risk that the Bank's application to admit the securities on the regulated market to trading may be rejected due to technical or other reasons.

C. 16
Maturity date of the derivative transactions of reference items to which non-equity securities are linked

Maturity date of the derivative transactions entered when issuing non-equity securities under this Base Prospectus is not later date than redemption date of non-equity securities.

C. 17
Settlements for the derivative transactions

Settlements for the derivative transactions entered by the Bank when issuing non-equity securities under this Base Prospectus shall be made in accordance with the rules approved by International Swap and Derivatives Association (ISDA) and following other practice recognized in the international financial market.

C. 18
Profitability of derivative transactions and its impact on non-equity securities' values

Changes in the value of reference item linked notes, investment notes and structured notes until redemption date of such non-equity securities, and also the value of such non-equity securities on the redemption date thereof (redemption price) respectively depend on changes in value of the derivative transaction(s) entered by the Bank within the maturity term of such non-equity securities and the value of derivative transaction(s) on the maturity date of such transaction(s). The higher positive return on the derivative transaction(s), the higher profitability of reference item linked notes, investment notes and structured notes for the investor, i.e., higher value of such non-equity securities within the maturity term thereof and higher redemption price of such non-equity securities. In certain cases, no derivative transactions may be concluded when issuing reference item linked notes, investment notes

SEB

prices or competition;

  • Strategic risk means the risk resulting from unfavourable or misleading business solutions, improper implementation of solution or inadequate reaction to political changes, amendments of legal acts and changes in the banking sector;
  • Liquidity risk means the risk that the Bank will be unable to timely meet its financial obligations and/or seeking to meet thereof will be forced to sell its financial assets and/or close positions or will incur losses caused by low liquidity in the market. In this case the risk that in certain conditions the Bank's creditors will initiate the bankruptcy proceedings against the Bank exists.

D.3

Main risk factors related to non-equity securities

Main risk factors related to non-equity securities issued are as follows:

  • market risk means the risk that the market price of non-equity securities may fluctuate, i.e., the price of securities subscribed by the investor may go down and up in the secondary trading;
  • liquidity risk means the risk of potential losses in case of failure to sell securities in a short-term or if it is impossible to sell the non-equity securities held for a certain period;
  • issuer credit risk means the risk that in case of the Bank's insolvency, bankruptcy, moratorium and in other similar cases the Bank within the established term and conditions fails to settle with the investors (i.e. fails to redeem the non-equity securities, pay coupon or premium, etc.). The above risk of the Bank is not covered by insurance, i.e., the Bank's obligations to redeem non-equity securities issued is not insured by State Company "Indéliq ir investicijq draudimas";
  • issue cancellation risk means the risk that in certain cases the issue of non-equity securities may be cancelled; in such case the investors shall not subscribe for non-equity securities, and the Bank shall refund non-equity securities' subscription price and subscription fee;
  • currency risk means the risk that fluctuations in currency exchange rates may result in decrease in the actual value and the profitability of securities; therefore, investors, holding the non-equity securities denominated in other than the investors' home currency, will be exposed to movements in exchange rates that may adversely affect the value of the holdings. If non-equity securities are issued in Litas and within the maturity term thereof the Euro (or any other currency) becomes national currency of the Republic of Lithuania, the amount to be paid for redeemable non-equity securities to investor shall be calculated according to the exchange rate of the Litas with the Euro (or another currency) in accordance with the legal acts;
  • inflation risk means the risk that real value of non-equity securities may decrease due to inflation;
  • tax and legal risk means the risk that amendments to the legal acts of the Republic of Lithuania or changes in the state tax policy may have a material adverse effect on the non-equity securities, resulting in lower liquidity of non-equity securities and/or price and net profitability;
  • rating downgrade risk means the risk that SEB Group's credit rating may be downgraded or the risk that the estimated credit rating of the Bank is lower than SEB Group's credit rating, which may have a material adverse effect on the non-equity securities, resulting in lower liquidity of non-equity securities and/or price;
  • risk related to the securities admission to trading on the regulated market means the risk that non-equity securities that are supposed to be admitted to trading on the regulated market in fact are not admitted to the trading list due to any technical or other reasons, which may decrease the liquidity and eventually the price of the non-equity securities;

Risks applicable to coupon and discount bonds and structured notes:

  • risk related to the shortening of the issue subscription period – the risk that the

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS


SEB

investor fails to subscribe for the issued non-equity securities if the Final Terms of such non-equity securities establish the Bank's right to shorten the issue subscription period and the Bank exercises the right thereof;

  • risk related to the subscription through placement agents in Latvia and (or) Estonia means the risk of the investors subscribing for non-equity securities through placement agents in Latvia and Estonia, that in case of issues of limited size, they may not be able to subscribe for the non-equity securities even if the investors applied for subscription within the subscription period due to the fact that the payment day for such investors may be the final day of subscription period and by the payment day thereof all the non-equity securities may be subscribed by other investors. This means that investors subscribing for non-equity securities through placement agents in Latvia and Estonia shall not be deemed as having subscribed for the non-equity securities up to the final day of the subscription period. In case of an issue of limited size, the non-equity securities are allocated by the time priority principle, therefore the investors who actually subscribe and pay for the non-equity securities on the final day of subscription period should consider this unfavourable condition. The investors subscribing for non-equity securities through placement agents in Latvia and (or) Estonia should also consider the risk that their right to dispose of the funds necessary to pay for the non-equity securities may be limited within the whole period from the day they applied for subscription until the payment day (which is the final day of the subscription period).

Risks applicable to the reference item linked notes, investment notes and structured notes:

  • premium risk means the risk that on the redemption date of non-equity securities the investor shall not receive premium for change in the value of the reference item in case of unfavourable change in the value of reference item, i.e., the investor assumes the risk of loss of the subscription fee (if applicable) as well as the risk of additionally invested funds, if non-equity securities were issued with the risk premium;

  • risk of reference item value adjustment and change of calculation method means the risk that the agency calculating/announcing the reference item value may adjust the value of the reference item and/or change the method for calculation the reference item value and/or change the reference item itself; suspend the value calculation and/or announcing temporarily or for an unlimited term. The risk of reference item value adjustment, change of calculation method of the reference item value (including but not limited to the risk of change in the reference item itself) shall exist not only within maturity term of non-equity securities issue but also within the subscription period of such non-equity securities;

  • risk of unforeseen events in the markets mean the risk that due to unforeseen events, the valuation date of the reference item (shares, commodities, exchange rates, etc.) may be moved to another date when unforeseen events cease to exist;

  • premium calculation risk means the risk that due to factors that are beyond the Bank's control, the premium calculation method or its value may be changed; the premium calculation risk shall exist not only within maturity term of non-equity securities but also during the subscription period of such non-equity securities;

  • risk of the early redemption means the risk that profitability of non-equity securities if redeemed prior to maturity may be lower than profitability of non-equity securities that are held until the scheduled redemption date.

Risks applicable to investment notes and structured notes:

  • risk of investment loss means the risk that upon occurrence of certain conditions, established in the Final Terms of the issue, the investor may lose all invested funds or a portion thereof.

Risks applicable to structured notes:

  • third party credit risk means the risk that in case the Bank executes mandatory purchase of the structured notes from the investor and transfers to the investor

securities of the third party or relevant claims rights, as specified in the Final Terms of the issue, or the securities issued by such third party replacing the securities of the third party above or relevant claims rights or any portion thereof, third party may fail to settle with the investor.

Summary of the Issue(s) (Final Terms No. 2013XXXX/XXX):

Main risk factors related to [specify the type of non-equity securities]:

[specify the list of applicable risk factors:

  • etc.]

D.6

Risk related to the loss of funds invested

Investment notes and structured notes are risky investment instruments, therefore may not be suitable for all investors and should be chosen by such investors who may assume higher investment risk.

In case of reference item linked notes

Issue price of reference item linked notes may be higher than the nominal note value. The difference between reference item linked note issue price and nominal reference item linked note value is called risk premium. The purpose of the risk premium is to increase values of the issue variables (participation ratio, the range of interval values of the reference item, etc.). If the investor subscribes for notes with the risk premium, the investor shall assume the risk of a loss of additionally invested funds: the additionally invested funds shall not be refunded to the investor, if a change of the value of the reference item is different from that specified in the Final Terms, or only a portion of the additionally invested funds shall be refunded, if the premium for change of the value of the reference item on the note redemption date is lower than the risk premium paid by the investor.

In case of investment notes

Upon occurrence of certain conditions specified in the Final Terms of investment notes issue (e.g. if the reference item value reaches the specified limit), the investment is not backed up by a capital guarantee, i.e., the investor assumes the risk that the redemption price of the investment note may be lower than the nominal value of the investment note, i.e., the investor may lose all invested funds or a portion thereof.

Risk related to the loss of funds invested also occurs when prior to the redemption date of the investment notes due to factors that are beyond the Bank's control the risk management costs of the derivative transaction entered by the Bank significantly increase; the derivative transaction is terminated or replaced; factors not permitting the Bank to subscribe, manage or dispose of the reference items, which determine profitability of investment notes occur; or the reference items are nationalised, expropriated or it is ordered to transfer them in any other way to the government or any other public institution; or due to liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or winding-up of the issuer of the reference item (if relevant) or due to other analogous proceedings affecting the latter, the right to manage, use or dispose of the reference items is limited; or the legal entity that issued the reference items fails to fulfil its obligations related to the reference items issued (e.g. fails to timely pay the coupon); or it is publicly announced that the terms of fulfilment of obligations related to the reference items and/or disposal terms of such reference items are amended (e.g. the nominal value of the reference items is reduced, redemption date is deferred, etc.); due to factors that are beyond Bank's control, certain conditions arise due to which the reference items to which investment notes are linked are excluded from the securities trading lists (or trading in such reference items is suspended). If any of the above events occur the investment may be not backed up by a capital guarantee, i.e., the investor assumes the risk that the redemption price of the investment note may be lower than the nominal value of the investment note, i.e., the investor

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS


SEB

may lose all invested funds or a portion thereof.

In case of structured notes

If within maturity term of the structured notes enforcement event related to third party credit risk occurs the Bank shall mandatorily purchase the issue of the structured notes from the investors. The Bank shall settle with the investors for mandatorily purchased structured notes by transferring securities of the third party or relevant claims rights or securities issued by such third party replacing the securities of the third party above or relevant claims rights or any portion thereof, and payment in cash. On the settlement date for the mandatorily purchased structured notes the value of third party's securities transferred to the investor or other securities issued by the third party replacing thereof and payment in cash may be lower than the nominal value of the structured notes. In such case the investor may lose a portion of invested funds, and in case of third party insolvency, bankruptcy, moratorium or in similar cases, the investor may lose the total invested amount.

Investors should note that after the Bank issues the coupon and discount bond issue, which at the end of the bond subscription period shall be immediately merged with any previous outstanding issue of the same type of bonds effective on the new issue date, the bond price in the secondary trading, after the adjustments (increase) of the size of the issue in the general account of the previous securities issue are made with the Central Securities Depository of Lithuania, may go down as well as up. Such risk is not so relevant to investors who subscribe for coupon and discount bonds issued by the Bank and are entitled to sell all or any portion of such bonds in the secondary trading to the Bank within the bond maturity term, as the Final Terms of such issue establish the bond sale price effective on the bond sale dates to the Bank. The above risk is not substantial for investors who retained the subscribed non-equity securities issued under this Programme until the redemption date.

Liquidity risk. Investors subscribing for the Bank's non-equity securities accept the liquidity risk of the securities, i.e., the investor may suffer loss if he fails to sell the non-equity securities within the shortest possible term or the sale of the non-equity securities held is limited for a certain period of time. Possibility to sell non-equity securities in the secondary trading depends only on the market demand. There are no intermediaries who assume an obligation to ensure liquidity of non-equity securities issued in the secondary trading. Such risk is less important for investors who subscribed for coupon and discount bonds issued by the Bank and are entitled to sell all or any portion of such bonds in the secondary trading to the Bank within the bond maturity term, as the Final Terms of such issue establish the bond sale dates to the Bank in the secondary trading.

Issuer credit risk. Investors investing into the Bank's non-equity securities accept the risk that in case of the Bank's insolvency, bankruptcy, moratorium and in other similar cases, Bank may have no sufficient funds for redemption of non-equity securities issued, payment of coupon or premium, and may fail to settle with the investors within the term and under the conditions established in the Final Terms. The above risk of the Bank is not covered by insurance, i.e., the Bank's obligations to redeem non-equity securities issued is not insured by State Company "Indéliq ir investicijq draudimas". In case of Bank's bankruptcy the claims of the holders of non-equity securities shall be satisfied in accordance with the terms and procedures established by the legal acts of the Republic of Lithuania.

Issue cancellation risk. Investors have to note that non-equity securities issue in certain cases may be considered failed and cancelled.

Issue of the reference item-linked notes, investment notes and structured notes may be deemed failed or cancelled if the established actual values of variables of the issue (participation ratio, range of interval values of the reference item, etc.) are lower than the lowest values of variables established in the Final Terms of such issue (or higher than the highest values of variables established in the Final Terms of such issue). Expected lowest (or highest) values of such variables shall be specified in the Final Terms of the issue. Actual values of variables shall be published on the date specified in the Final terms of the issue on the Bank's website www.seb.lt.

The structured note issue shall be deemed failed and cancelled if within the structured note subscription period at least one enforcement event related to the third party credit risk occurs.

Non-equity securities issue may be deemed failed and cancelled if the nominal value of subscribed non-equity securities is lower than the value established in the Final Terms. If at the same time several issues of non-equity securities are offered (and the subscription periods of such issues coincide,

SEB

maturity term is identical and they are linked to the same reference item (in case of reference item linked notes, investment notes and structured notes), such issues may be deemed failed and cancelled if the total nominal value of the subscribed non-equity securities issues is lower than the value established in the Final Terms.

Any issue of the reference item linked notes, investment notes and structured notes may be deemed failed and cancelled if economic, financial and political events that might prevent from a successful issue of non-equity securities occur.

Information about a cancellation of the issue shall be published on websites of the Bank and placement agents within the period established in the Final Terms. The Final Terms shall also specify the procedure for repayment of funds for the subscribed non-equity securities.

If within the subscription period of reference item linked notes, investment notes and structured notes any events beyond the Bank's control occur and such events cause for investors risk factors related to reference item linked notes, investment notes and structured notes, i.e., risk of reference item value adjustment and change of the calculation method and premium calculation risk (see more in chapter "Issue-related risk factors"), the Bank shall have a right to cancel the issue of non-equity securities in respect of which the specified risk factors occurred during the subscription period.

If any event beyond the Bank's control, leading to the above-mentioned risk factors and consequences thereof with respect to the investors, occurs and more than 7 (seven) business days remain until the end of the subscription period of non-equity securities, the Bank shall have a right to cancel non-equity securities issue and shall have a right to apply the measures listed in the chapter "Issue-related risk factors" (change of the reference item, change of premium calculation method or change of a premium value). In such case, the Bank shall provide an opportunity for investors within the period of 5 (five) business days from the amendment date of the Final Terms of the issue, to refuse of the subscribed non-equity securities and shall refund a subscription price of non-equity securities effective on the announcement date of the Annex to the Final Terms (i.e. the Bank shall refund a subscription price of non-equity securities and also interest accrued within the subscription period) and subscription fee.

If any event beyond the Bank's control occurs, leading to the above-mentioned risk factors and consequences with respect to the investors, and 7 (seven) or less business days remain until the end of the subscription period of non-equity securities, the Bank shall cancel such non-equity securities issue. In such case, information about cancellation of the issue shall be immediately published on the Bank's website www.seb.lt and on the websites of the placement agents (if more placement agents are involved). Investors within 5 (five) business days from the date of announcement about the issue cancellation shall be refunded a subscription price of non-equity securities effective on the issue cancellation date (i.e. the Bank shall refund a subscription price of non-equity securities and also interest accrued within the subscription period) and subscription fee.

Currency risk. All payments related to non-equity securities issues and redemption thereof shall be made in the currency in which the non-equity securities issues are denominated. If an investor invests into non-equity securities which are not denominated in the investor's home currency (i.e., investor's currency), he will be exposed to movements in exchange rates that may adversely affect the value of the holding. This includes the risk that exchange rates may significantly change (including changes due to devaluation of the currency in which non-equity securities are denominated or revaluation of investor's currency) and the risk that authorities with jurisdiction over investor's currency may impose or modify exchange controls.

Specifically, if non-equity securities are issued in Litas and within the maturity term thereof the Euro (or any other currency) becomes national currency of the Republic of Lithuania, the amount to be

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS


SEB

paid for redeemable non-equity securities to investor shall be calculated according to the exchange rate of the Litas with the Euro (or another currency) in accordance with the legal acts.

The investors should note that in case of the reference item linked notes, investment notes and structured notes, any changes in particular exchange rate within the entire maturity term of the above securities may have impact on profitability of such non-equity securities, i.e., changes in the value of reference item linked notes, investment notes and structured notes until redemption date of such non-equity securities, and also the value of such non-equity securities on the redemption date thereof (redemption price), and the investors shall have to assume this currency risk. This includes the risk that the non-equity securities and the derivative of the reference item to which such non-equity securities are linked may be denominated in different currency. In such case, movements in exchange rates between currencies of the denomination of the non-equity securities and the denomination of the derivative may affect (positively or negatively) the value of investor's holdings. In case of such different currency denomination of non-equity securities and derivative of the reference item to which these non-equity securities are linked, the Final Terms shall specify the actual currency risk related to each particular such non-equity securities issue, i.e., the currencies and relevant changes in exchange rates that may influence the profitability of such non-equity securities.

Inflation risk. Investors subscribing for non-equity securities shall accept the risk of possible decrease in non-equity securities real value due to inflation.

Tax and legal risk. If legal acts related to non-equity securities of the Republic of Lithuania are amended or the state tax policy is changed, non-equity securities issued under this Programme may become less attractive for all investors or for certain groups of investors. The above may result in lower liquidity of non-equity securities and/or price and net yield of non-equity securities issued under this Programme. Investors willing to subscribe for non-equity securities issued under this Programme should consider the existing legal regulation on investment into non-equity securities in the relevant jurisdiction and shall also focus on and evaluate the taxation requirements applicable to income generated from non-equity securities.

Rating downgrade risk. Investors subscribing for non-equity securities issued under this Programme shall accept the risk that the market demand for non-equity securities issued by the Bank may decrease as well as the price thereof in case of deterioration of the Bank's financial condition and/or the downgrade of SEB Group's rating, or if the estimated credit rating of the Bank is lower than SEB Group's credit rating, which may have a material adverse effect on the non-equity securities, resulting in lower liquidity of non-equity securities and/or price.

Risk related to securities admission to the trading lists on the regulated market. Non-equity securities issued under this Base Prospectus may be admitted to the trading lists on regulated markets (Debt Securities Trading List of NASDAQ OMX Vilnius Stock Exchange, trading lists of other regulated markets). If the Final Terms of the issues under the Programme specify that the request to admit the issued non-equity securities to trading on the regulated market may be submitted, the investor subscribing for non-equity securities issued by the Bank in the primary trading shall assume the risk that due to technical or other reasons, the Bank's application to admit the securities to trading on the regulated market may be rejected. In such case, liquidity of the non-equity securities may decrease and certain groups of investors due to limitations established in the legal acts may be forced to sell the securities subscribed on the primary trading and it may result in decrease of the price of the securities.

Risk factors applicable to coupon and discount bonds, structured notes

Risk related to the shortening of the issue subscription period. If the coupon bond and discount bond issues are of an unlimited size, the Final Terms of the issue shall establish that the Bank, taking into consideration the number of subscribed bonds and market interest rates, shall have a right to unilaterally shorten the issue subscription period specified in the Final Terms. The investor shall assume the risk that due to shortening of the subscription period for bonds the investor may fail to subscribe on time for such non-equity securities.

The Bank, taking into consideration the number of subscribed structured notes and market interest rates, shall have a right to unilaterally shorten the issue subscription period specified in the Final Terms, therefore the investor shall assume the risk that due to shortening of the subscription period of structured notes the investor may fail to subscribe on time for such non-equity securities.

This includes also the risk that investors having an opportunity to choose a subscription day for non-equity securities and also the relevant non-equity securities subscription price applicable on such day assumes the risk that their order to subscribe for non-equity securities may be rejected due to shortened subscription period.

Risk related to the subscription through placement agents in Latvia and (or) Estonia

In case of issues of limited size of non-equity securities, the investors subscribing for non-equity securities through placement agents in Latvia and (or) Estonia assume the risk that their order may be rejected due to the fact that the payment day for such investors may be the final day of the subscription period, thus during the non-equity securities subscription period up to the final day of subscription period the whole issue of non-equity securities may already be subscribed by other investors. This means that, in contrary to the subscription for non-equity securities through the Bank, such investors shall not be deemed as having subscribed for the non-equity securities up to the final day of the subscription period. In case of an issue of limited size, the non-equity securities are allocated by the time priority principle, therefore, the investors who actually subscribe and pay for the non-equity securities on the final day of subscription period should consider this unfavourable condition.

The Final Terms may specify that if the investors subscribe for non-equity securities through placement agents in Latvia and (or) Estonia, their right to dispose of the funds necessary to pay for the non-equity securities may be limited within the whole period from the day they applied for subscription until the payment day (which is the final day of the subscription period).

Risk factors applicable to reference item linked notes, investment notes and structured notes

Premium risk. In case of an unfavourable change in value of the reference item to which the non-equity securities are linked, i.e., the change in value of the reference item is different from that established in the Final Terms, or (non)occurrence of a certain credit event (if the Final Terms provide that the premium for one redeemable non-equity security or interim premium payable within the maturity term of non-equity securities depends on (non)occurrence of the credit event in respect of a certain legal entity), the premium payable for one redeemable non-equity security on the redemption date, or interim premium payable within the maturity term of non-equity securities shall be equal to 0 (zero). Investors should note that in case of a unfavourable change in value of the reference item, i.e., the change in value of the reference item is different from that established in the Final Terms, or (non)occurrence of a certain credit event (if the Final Terms provide that the premium for one

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS


SEB

redeemable non-equity security or interim premium payable within the maturity term of non-equity securities depends on (non)occurrence of the credit event in respect of a certain legal entity), the investor on the redemption date of the non-equity securities shall be paid only the nominal value of non-equity securities (in case of reference item linked notes). However in case of investment notes and structured notes the investors are not guaranteed that the redemption price shall not be lower than the nominal value of non-equity securities, i.e., the investor assumes the risk of loss of the subscription fee (if any), and also the loss of the additionally invested funds if non-equity securities were issued with the risk premium. Investors should also pay attention to the fact that the risk premium is used to increase values of the issue variables (participation ratio, the range of interval values of the reference item, expected value of the premium, etc.) and is not included in the redemption price of the non-equity securities.

If the Bank prior to the specified redemption date mandatorily purchases the structured notes from the investors, the premium shall not be paid to investors. In such case, the Bank shall transfer to the investors the securities of the third party or relevant claims rights to such securities, or other securities (replacing the above securities), issued by the same third party or relevant claims rights to such securities or any portion thereof, together with a payment in cash. The amount of the payment in cash depends on the amount to be received by the Bank for the termination of the derivative transaction of the reference item. The derivative transactions should be terminated no later than on the following business day after the date of enforcement event. The payment in cash shall be calculated taking into consideration the size of the structured note issue and values of the issue variables (participation ratio, the range of interval values of the reference item, etc.) and interest (coupon) (if interest (coupon) payment is specified in the Final Terms of such issue) accrued until the date of mandatory purchase (such date excluded).

Risk of reference item value adjustment and change of calculation method. If any price or value of the reference item, which is announced by the stock exchange or by an agency announcing and/or calculating the reference item value, and used to calculate and fix any payouts to investors, is modified, the Bank shall have a right to recalculate any amounts payable to investors to the extent necessary for such modification, following the principle of goodwill, common practice recognized in the international financial market and acting in the interests of investors.

If on the valuation date of the reference item or prior to such date, the agency announcing and/or calculating the reference item value informs that a major amendment to the formula for calculating the reference item value or to the calculation method shall be made, or the value of the reference item shall be adjusted, or that the reference item shall be materially modified in any other way (i.e., another change shall be made that is not specified in the formula or method), or if the reference item value calculation and/or announcement is suspended temporarily or for an unlimited period, and if at least one of the above events makes a material impact on calculation of the amounts of the gain payable to the investor, the actions specified below may be taken, following the principle of goodwill, common practice recognized in the international financial market and acting in the interests of investors:

  • the reference item may be used, the value of which is calculated in accordance with the formula and the calculation method effective prior to the replacement of reference item, failure to calculate its value or prior to the permanent cancellation of the reference item. The other reference items that were included into the reference item impacted prior to its replacement, failure to calculate its value or cancellation of such reference item should be included into the reference item being calculated (if it depends on the values of several other reference items), or
  • valuation date of the reference item may be moved to the nearest business date of the stock exchange and/or the market, where such reference item is traded, and also the stock

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS


SEB

exchange(s) and/or market(s), where futures and/or options of such reference item are traded, when the suspension of calculation and/or announcement of the reference item value expires. If the reference item valuation date is moved 8 (eight) business days in a row of the above-mentioned stock exchange and/or the market and the calculation and/or announcement of the reference item value is still suspended, then the eighth business date of the stock exchange(s) and/or market(s) shall be the reference item valuation date, provided that the Bank calculates the reference item value taking into consideration the reference item formula and calculation method applied prior to the suspension of the reference item valuation and shall include into value of the reference item being calculated (if it depends on the value of several other reference items) other reference items, which were included into the reference item prior to suspension of calculation of such reference item;

  • reference item may be replaced with another reference item of a similar investment strategy;
  • premium calculation method or premium value may be amended, or premium value to be paid on the redemption date of the non-equity securities may be established in advance.

The Bank shall inform the holders of securities about the amended calculation method of the reference item value, changed reference item, amended premium calculation method or premium value, or the premium value established in advance by announcing the above information on the Bank's website www.seb.lt.

Investors should note that the risk of reference item value adjustment or change of the calculation method of the reference item value (including but not limited to replacement of the reference item) exists not only within maturity term of reference item linked notes, investment notes or structured notes issues but also during the subscription period of such non-equity securities. In such case, the Bank shall have a right to cancel the issue of the non-equity securities or to apply the above-mentioned measures (reference item replacement, change of the premium calculation method or change of its value).

If any event beyond the Bank's control, resulting in the above-mentioned risk factor with respect to the investors, occurs and more than 7 (seven) business days remain until the end of the subscription period of non-equity securities, the Bank has a right to cancel non-equity securities issue in respect of which the said risk factor arises, if the consequences of the above risk may violate the interests of investors, or to impose the above listed measures. In case of the issue cancellation, the Bank shall immediately announce about it on its website www.seb.lt and on the websites of the placement agents (if more placement agents are involved). If the Bank considers it necessary, it is entitled to announce the event of issue cancellation as a material event of the Bank and inform the investors pursuant to the relevant requirements established in the legal acts. The investors within 5 (five) business days from the announcement about the issue cancellation shall be paid the non-equity securities subscription price effective on the issue cancellation date (i.e., non-equity securities subscription price paid together with the interest accrued within the subscription period shall be refunded to the investor) and the subscription fee. If the above specified measures are implemented, the following actions shall be executed: a) the amendments to the Final Terms related to the consequences of the event that occurred beyond Bank's control shall be set forth in the Annex to the Final Terms to be submitted to the Bank of Lithuania and published on the Bank's website www.seb.lt and on the websites of the placement agents (if more placement agents are involved); b) information about amendments to the Final Terms shall be published on the Bank's website www.seb.lt and on the websites of the placement agents (if more placement agents are involved). In such case, the Bank shall give an opportunity for investors to refuse of the subscribed non-equity securities within 5 (five) business days from the amendment of the Final Terms of the issue and shall pay non-equity securities subscription price effective on the date of

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS


SEB

announcement of the Annex to the Final Terms (i.e., shall refund a non-equity securities subscription price paid together with the interest accrued within the subscription period) and the subscription fee.

If any event beyond the Bank's control occurs causing the above mentioned risk factor and consequences with respect to the investors, and 7 (seven) or less business days remain until the end of the subscription period of non-equity securities, the Bank shall cancel such non-equity securities issue. In such case, the Bank shall immediately announce about cancellation of the issue on the Bank's website www.seb.lt and on the websites of the placement agents (if more placement agents are involved). The investors within 5 (five) business days from the announcement about the issue cancellation shall be refunded the subscription price of non-equity securities effective on the issue cancellation date (i.e., non-equity securities subscription price paid together with the interest accrued within the subscription period shall be refunded) and the subscription fee.

Unforeseen events in the markets. If any unforeseen event occurs on the valuation date of the reference item value, which influences the calculation of the amounts payable to investors, the valuation date of the reference item may be moved to the nearest business day of the stock exchange(s) and/or market(s), where such reference item is traded, and also of the stock exchange(s) and/or market(s), where futures and/or options related to such reference item are traded, when the unforeseen events have ended. The Bank shall seek to immediately notify the holders of non-equity securities about such unforeseen events, however shall not assume such obligation. If the reference item valuation date is moved 8 (eight) business days in a row of the above-mentioned stock-exchange(s) and/or market(s) and unforeseen events still continue to last, the eighth business day of the above mentioned stock exchange(s) and/or market(s) shall be the reference item valuation date, provided that the Bank calculates the reference item value, taking into consideration the reference item value formula and calculation method, applied prior to occurrence of unforeseen events, at the value of the reference items included into the underlying reference item to which non-equity securities are linked and announced by relevant stock exchange or market, or at the market value of such reference items. If the unforeseen events influence a specific reference item, the Bank shall calculate the value of such reference item following the principle of goodwill common practice recognized in the international financial market and acting in the interests of investors.

Unforeseen events mean the following:

  • general trade suspension or trade limitation on the stock exchanges or markets, where such reference items and/or futures and/or options related to such reference items are traded and/or which announce the values of such reference items;
  • other interruptions of stock exchange and markets preventing from making transactions in reference items, futures and/or options related to such reference items, as well as preventing from getting the values of the reference items, futures and/or options related to such reference items;
  • early closure of regular trading on the stock exchanges and markets, except for the cases when relevant stock exchanges and markets inform at least 1 (one) hour prior to regular trade closure on stock exchanges and markets.

If profitability of non-equity securities depends on changes in value of several reference items (a basket of reference items) and on the valuation date of the interim value of the basket of reference items it is impossible to calculate the value of one or several reference items due to any unforeseen events, the value of the basket of reference items is calculated using (i) the values of such reference items in respect of which unforeseen events did not occur and (ii) the values of the reference items in respect of which unforeseen events occur, if such values of such reference item were determined. Valuation date of the reference items, in respect of which unforeseen events occur, shall be moved to the nearest business day of the stock exchange(s) and/or market(s), when unforeseen events have

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS


SEB

ended. If valuation date of the reference item, in respect of which unforeseen events occur, is moved 8 (eight) business days in a row of the stock exchange(s) and/or market(s) and unforeseen events still continue to last, the eighth business day of the stock exchange(s) and/or market(s) shall be the reference item valuation date, provided that the Bank calculates the value of such reference item following the principles of goodwill, common practice recognized in the international financial market and acting in the interests of investors.

Business day of the stock exchange(s) and/or market(s) is a day when the stock exchange(s) is regularly trading in the reference items as well as in futures and/or options of a relevant reference item and/or market(s), where a relevant reference item, futures and/or options of a relevant reference item are being traded.

Risk of unforeseen events related to commodities. Investors should note that they assume the additional risk of unforeseen events related to commodities if profitability of non-equity securities' issue depends on the change in value/price of the particular commodity. The Bank shall fairly and reasonably from the economic point of view identify which of the below specified unforeseen events may occur with respect to commodities. Unforeseen events related to commodities mean the following:

  • market disruption when the stock exchange executing trading in commodities and in futures of relevant commodities cannot notify or announce the closing price of the respective commodity or future transaction, or when the closing price of the respective commodity or future is temporarily or permanently not announced or unknown;
  • trading disruption, i.e., general trading suspension or trading limitation on the stock exchange executing trading in commodities and futures. Suspension of the trading in commodity or futures shall be deemed general and effective only if one of the below specified factors exist: (1) trading in commodity or futures is suspended during the entire valuation day; or (2) all trading in the respective commodity and futures is suspended on the valuation day at any time after trade opening, if notified about such suspension less than 1 (one) hour prior to such suspension of trading in commodity and futures, and commodity and futures trading is not resumed until closure of the regular trading session; (3) if the relevant stock exchange sets the limits of price change (fluctuation limit) of the commodity and future, and closing price of the commodity or future is higher or lower than the limit set by the stock exchange;
  • commodity disappears, when trading in commodity futures is completely terminated; the commodity disappears or trading in such commodity is completely terminated; the commodity disappears but irrespective of that the stock exchange still announces the commodity price, or if trading in commodity or futures is not taking place, however it is not completely terminated in the stock exchange;
  • change in calculation formula, if formula or calculation method of the closing price of the commodity or future changes;
  • change in composition, if the composition, quantity or structure of the commodity or future changes.

If any unforeseen events related to commodities arise or occur on the valuation date of the commodity price, which influences the calculation of the amounts payable to the investor, the Bank shall determine the price of commodity in respect of which unforeseen events occurred based on the price of another closest kind of such commodity. If it is impossible to determine the commodity price, the commodity price valuation date may be moved to the nearest commodity price valuation date when such unforeseen events cease to exist. If the commodity price valuation date is moved 2 (two) commodity valuation business days in a row and unforeseen events still continue to last, the Bank in accordance with the relevant legal acts, following the principle of goodwill and common practice

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS


SEB

recognized in the international financial market and acting in the interests of investors shall put best efforts to determine the commodity price based on the respective commodity price announced by other stock exchanges or investment banks, which announce the respective commodity price. If it fails to determine the commodity price within 3 (three) business days starting from the date when the unforeseen events in respect of commodities occurred or were identified, the Bank shall determine the commodity price by itself in accordance with the relevant legal acts, following the principle of goodwill, common practice recognized in the international financial market and acting in the interests of investors.

Business day for commodity valuation is the day when the relevant market announces the commodity price during its regular trading hours or another relevant information source announces the commodity price.

Risk of unforeseen events related to exchange rate. Investors should note that the additional risk of unforeseen events related to exchange rate exists if profitability of non-equity securities' issue depends on fluctuations of the currency exchange rate as a reference item to which non-equity securities are linked. The Bank shall fairly and reasonably from the economic point of view identify which of the bellow listed unforeseen events may prevent from fixing the exchange rate. Unforeseen events related to exchange rate mean the following:

  • exchange rate is not announced or it is impossible to fix it in any other ways;
  • exchange rate is not announced and it may only be fixed based on other currency exchange rates;
  • the premium value depends on the fluctuations of the currency exchange rate of the country and the government of that country fails to timely settle for the securities issued, return the funds lent, pay coupon or other due amounts or announces about amendments to the schedule of due amounts payable or terms for settlement;
  • other events beyond the Bank's control occur in the country above and it becomes impossible to fulfil obligations under the derivative transaction.

If the currency exchange rate may not be fixed on the specified date or other unforeseen events preventing from fixing the exchange rate on its fixing date or within the nearest 2 (two) business days after the specified date occur, then the Bank following the principle of goodwill and recognized practice shall fix the currency exchange rate by itself no later than on the third business day of currency exchange rate fixing after the specified date of initial or final currency exchange rate fixing.

Business for currency exchange rate fixing is any day when relevant currency markets are open and they execute settlements in such currency and related transactions, and commercial banks executing settlements in respective currency are open.

Premium calculation risk. The investors should note that the Bank has a right to change the premium calculation method (including the right to replace the reference item) or its value, or to calculate in advance the premium value to be paid on non-equity securities redemption date or on any other dates of premium payment, specified in the Final Terms, seeking to minimize or totally eliminate the economic impact on interests of holders of non-equity securities, if prior to non-equity securities redemption date any of the below events occur:

a) due to the factors that occur beyond the Bank's control, the risk management costs of the derivative transaction entered significantly increase, the derivative transaction is terminated or derivative transactions is replaced in any other way;

b) factors (related to amendments of legal acts, etc.) occur preventing the Bank to subscribe, manage or dispose of the reference items determining profitability of non-equity securities, or the reference items that determine profitability of non-equity securities are nationalized, expropriated or an order is given to transfer thereof in any other way to the government or any other public institution, or the right to manage, use or dispose thereof is limited due to liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or winding-up or other similar procedure of the issuer of the reference item (if

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS


SEB

relevant) or the legal entity that issued the reference items fails to fulfil its obligations under the issued reference items (e.g. fails to timely pay the coupon), or it is publicly announced that the terms of fulfilment of obligations related to the reference items and/or disposal terms of such reference items are amended (e.g. the nominal value of the reference items is reduced, redemption date is deferred, the reference items are replaced with other reference items, etc.);

c) due to factors that occur beyond the Bank's control, certain conditions arise due to which the reference items to which non-equity securities are linked are excluded from the securities trading lists (or trade in such reference items is suspended).

The Bank shall change the premium calculation method or its value on the basis of the above events following the principle of goodwill, common practice recognized in the international financial market and acting in the interests of investors.

Investors should also note that the Bank shall have a right to change (recalculate) the share initial (strike) value and/or change the participation ratio and/or other variables and/or change the calculation of share final value, if reference items to which non-equity securities are linked are shares and if until the redemption date of non-equity securities beyond the Bank's control certain events occur or conditions arise (e.g. increase/decrease of the authorised capital, increase/decrease of the share nominal value, reorganisation of the issuer of the shares, etc.), due to which the nominal value of shares to which non-equity securities are linked changes.

The Bank shall put the best efforts to inform the holders of non-equity securities about the amended premium calculation method or premium value, the premium value determined in advance, changed (recalculated) initial (strike) value of the reference item or amended values of variables by announcing the above information on website www.seb.lt, but does not assume any responsibility for announcing such information.

Investors have to note that the premium calculation risk exists not only within the maturity term of reference item linked notes, investment notes and/or structured notes, but also within subscription period of such non-equity securities.

Risk of early redemption. The investor shall assume the risk that profitability of securities in case of early redemption of the non-equity securities may be lower compared to profitability of non-equity securities held until the redemption date if the Final Terms of non-equity securities establish that under certain conditions specified in the Final Terms, non-equity securities shall be redeemed on the specified dates prior to the non-equity securities redemption date.

Risk factors applicable to investment notes and structured notes

The risk of loss of invested funds.

Investment notes and structured notes are risky investment instruments, therefore may not be suitable for all investors and should be chosen by such investors who may assume higher investment risk.

In case of investment notes. If from the valuation date of the initial (strike) value of the reference item until the valuation date of its final value, or on the particular date specified in the Final Terms, the certain conditions specified in the Final Terms of the issue occur (e.g. reference item value reaches the specified limit, etc.), the investment is not backed up by capital guarantee, i.e., the investor assumes the risk that the redemption price of investment notes may be lower than the nominal value of such non-equity securities. Thus, the investor may lose all invested amount or a portion thereof.

Investors should note that the risk of loss of the invested amount in respect of the investment notes may appear also if any of the below events occur prior to the redemption date of the investment notes:

a) due to the factors beyond the Bank's control, the risk management costs of the derivative transaction entered significantly increase, the derivative transaction is terminated or replaced in any other way;

b) factors (related to amendments to legal acts, etc.) not permitting the Bank to subscribe, manage or dispose of the reference items, which determine profitability of investment notes, occur, or the reference items that determine profitability of investment notes are nationalized, expropriated or an order is given to transfer thereof to the government or any other public institution in any other way, or due to liquidity, bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar procedure the right to manage, use or dispose thereof is limited, or the legal entity that issued the reference items fails to fulfil its obligations under

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS


SEB

such issued reference items (e.g. fails to timely pay coupon), or it is publicly announced that the terms of fulfilment of obligations related to the reference items and/or disposal terms of such reference items are amended (e.g. the nominal value of the reference items is reduced, redemption date is deferred, reference items are replaced with other reference items, etc.);

c) due to factors beyond the Bank's control, conditions arise due to which the reference items to which investment notes are linked are excluded from the securities trading lists (or trade in such reference items is suspended).

If at least one of the above specified events occurs, the investment is not backed by capital guarantee, i.e., the investor assumes the risk that the redemption price of the investment notes may be lower than the nominal value of such non-equity securities, i.e., the investor may lose all invested amount or a portion thereof.

The Bank shall immediately inform the holders of non-equity securities about occurrence of the above specified events and about the fact that investment notes are no longer backed up by capital guarantee by announcing about it on its website www.seb.lt. The Bank seeks to minimize or totally eliminate the economic impact of the above-mentioned events on interests of holders of non-equity securities, following the principles of goodwill, common practice recognized in the international financial market and acting in the interests of investors.

In case of structured notes. If within maturity term of the structured notes at least one enforcement event related to third party credit risk occurs, the Bank shall mandatorily purchase the structured notes from investors. The Bank shall settle with the investors for mandatory purchase of the structured notes by transferring securities of the third party specified in the Final Terms or relevant claims rights, or securities issued by such third party replacing the securities of the third party above or relevant claims or any portion thereof, and payment in cash. On the settlement date for mandatorily purchased structured notes, the value of third party securities transferred to the investor or other securities of the third party replacing thereof and payment in cash may be lower than the nominal value of the structured notes. In such case the investor may lose a portion of invested funds and in case of third party insolvency, bankruptcy, moratorium or similar event, the investor may lose the total invested amount.

Risk factors applicable to structured notes

Third party credit risk. The investors subscribing for the structured notes shall assume the risk that upon occurrence of at least one enforcement event related to the third party credit risk, the Bank shall mandatorily purchase the structured notes from investors and shall transfer as a payment the securities of the third party specified in the Final Terms or relevant claims rights or any portion thereof or, other securities issued by the same third party replacing the above securities or relevant claims or any portion thereof and payment in cash. Enforcement events are related to the creditworthiness of the third party, therefore, the risk exists that in case of third party insolvency, bankruptcy, moratorium or other similar situation, the third party shall fail to settle with the investor, after the Bank mandatorily purchases the structured notes from investors and transfers to the investor (as a payment) the securities of the third party specified in the Final Terms or relevant claims rights or any portion thereof or other securities issued by the same third party replacing the above securities or relevant claims rights or any portion thereof.

4.7. Terms for calculation and payment of interest (coupon), premium and other amounts to the investor

Coupon bonds

In case of coupon bond issue, the Issuer shall pay on the specified date the interest (coupon) on each bond, calculated as a certain percentage of the bond nominal value. Interest (coupon) on the coupon bonds may be fixed (the percentage established for the entire bond maturity term) or floating (the percentage established on the specified dates described in the Final Terms). Floating interest (coupon) on coupon bonds shall be determined taking into consideration the base interest rate of certain period and currency of London, Europe or other interbank markets (e.g. LIBOR, EURIBOR) specified in the Final Terms of a particular coupon bond issue and fixed share of interest (coupon) (if any, specified in the Final Terms of the issue). The Final Terms of the issue may also specify maximum and minimum floating interest (coupon), indicating fluctuation limits of floating interest (coupon).

Fixed interest (coupon) or its calculation method and fixed interest (coupon) payment dates shall be specified in the Final Terms of each particular issue. If floating interest (coupon) is paid, the Final Terms of the issue shall specify: a) floating interest (coupon) calculation method (formula), b) base interest rate; c) base interest rate calculation date; d) fixed share of interest (coupon) (if any); e) maximum and minimum floating interest (coupon) (if any); f) floating interest (coupon) payment dates.

Interest (coupon) for each period shall start to accrue on the date of interest (coupon) payment of the previous period. In case of the first interest (coupon) payment or if interest (coupon) is paid only once, the interest (coupon) shall start to accrue from the issue date of non-equity securities and shall accrue until the payment date of the interest (coupon) for such period or until redemption date, unless the Final Terms provide otherwise. Interest (coupon) accrued per each non-equity security shall be rounded to the nearest of 1 (one) cent value (or the smallest unit of the currency of each issue) based on the arithmetic rules for rounding. The Act/Act day count convention method shall be used to calculate the interest (coupon) payment for bond issue. This method evaluates the actual number of

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS


SEB

days in the interest (coupon) payment period and the actual number of days in a year (365 or, in case of a leap year, 366). The Final Terms of the coupon bond issue may specify another day count convention method for calculating interest (coupon) of coupon bonds issued under this Programme.

If the Bank issues coupon bonds, which at the end of the subscription period shall be immediately merged with any previous outstanding issue of the same type bonds effective on the new issue date, the offering terms of the coupon bonds of the new issue (interest (coupon), interest (coupon) payment dates, day count convention method) shall be identical to the offering terms of the previous bond issue.

If the Bank issues coupon bonds, which at the end of the subscription period shall be immediately merged with any previous outstanding issue of the same type of bonds effective on the new issue date, and if the range of expected interest (coupon) of the previous issue was established and actual interest (coupon) was fixed only at the end of the bond subscription period, the interest (coupon) of the new issue bonds shall be equal to the fixed interest (coupon) of the previous bond issue.

Discount bonds

Discount bonds within the subscription period shall be offered at the lower price than the bond nominal value (nominal value of the bond shall be discounted by the annual yield rate specified in the Final Terms). On the bond redemption date, the investor shall be paid the bond nominal value. The discount bonds subscription price shall be calculated using Act/365 day count convention method, which evaluates the actual number of days in the interest (coupon) payment period and considers that there are 365 days in the calendar year. The Final Terms of the discount bond issue may specify another day count convention method to be used for calculating the bond price.

If the Bank issues discount bonds, which at the end of the subscription period shall be immediately merged with any previous outstanding issue of the same type of bonds outstanding on the new issue date, the annual yield of the new issue of discount bonds shall be determined taking into consideration the market interest rate effective on the date of a new issue.

Reference item linked notes

Profitability of the reference item linked notes depends on a change in value of the reference item to be specified in the Final Terms of the issue, and on actual values of variables (participation ratio, range of interval values of the reference item, etc.) and/or on (non)occurrence of certain credit events related to the legal entity indicated in the Final Terms of the issue and on interest (coupon) (if interest (coupon) payment is specified in the Final Terms). If profitability of the reference item linked notes depends on (non)occurrence of certain credit events, the Final Terms shall specify: a) legal entity in respect of which certain event ensuring the bond profitability must occur or must not occur; b) credit event(s), which must occur or must not occur; c) source of information for investors about the above-mentioned legal entity; d) exact value of a premium.

The investor subscribing for reference item linked notes shall be refunded the note nominal value thereof on the redemption date, if the notes are retained until the redemption date.

If profitability of the reference item linked notes depends on a change in value of the reference item, and if such change in value of the reference item is favourable to the investor, i.e., the reference item value changes or does not change in a way established in the Final Terms, the investor on the redemption date of the notes shall receive the premium for a change in value of the reference item. As a rule, the premium is paid for positive change in the reference item value, however the Final Terms of the issue may establish that the premium shall be paid for any changes in the reference item value: for positive and negative changes, for changes above or below some specified level or for unchanged value of the reference item. If change in the reference item value is unfavourable to the investor, i.e., if change in value of the reference item is different from the one specified in the Final Terms, the investor

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS


SEB

on the notes redemption date shall be paid only the nominal value of the reference item linked notes and the premium shall not be paid.

If the note profitability depends on (non)occurrence of certain credit events related to the legal entity indicated in the Final Terms, and if the situation is favourable, i.e., the credit event (does not) occur(s), the investor on the note redemption date shall be paid the premium for (non)occurrence of certain credit events. If the situation is unfavourable, i.e., the situation occurs, when the notes become unprofitable, the investor on the note redemption date shall be paid the note nominal value.

Premium for a change in the reference item value or for unchanged reference item value, as well as a premium for (non)occurrence of certain credit events, related to certain legal entity specified in the Final Terms of the issue, may be paid to the investors not only on the note redemption date, but also within the maturity term on the dates established in the Final Terms. It is an interim premium and its value, payment terms and dates shall be specified in the Final Terms of the issue. The premium paid on the note redemption date, and the interim premium paid within the maturity term shall be generally referred to as the "premium". The Final Terms of each issue shall specify, whether the premium shall be paid on the note redemption date or within the maturity term on the dates, specified in the Final Terms.

The value of the premium to be paid for each reference item linked note to investors for a favourable change in reference item value can be fixed or calculated according to the formula and shall be rounded to the nearest 4 (four) decimal places based on the arithmetic rules for rounding. The Final Terms of each reference item linked note issue shall specify fixed value of the premium or its calculation method (formula).

Day count convention method Act/Act (when the premium is paid within the maturity term on the dates established in the Final Terms) evaluating the actual number of days in premium payment period and the actual number of days in a calendar year or Act/365 (when the premium is paid for the entire maturity term on the notes redemption date) evaluating the actual number of days in premium payment period and the 365 days in a calendar year shall be used to calculate premium for reference item linked notes. The Final Terms of particular issue of reference item linked notes may specify another day count convention method to be used for calculating of the value of the premium.

If notes are linked to several reference items (basket), the Final Terms may establish that the value thereof in the basket of reference items shall be established at the end of maturity term (following the procedure established in the Final Terms) taking into consideration the change in value of each reference item. The calculation method of the reference item initial (strike) and final value shall be established in the Final Terms.

The participation ratio, the range of value fluctuation of reference item, etc. are the variables of the issue. The indicative (expected) and the minimum (or maximum) values of variables of each issue shall be specified in the Final Terms. Actual values of variables shall be announced on the date specified in the Final Terms on the Bank's website www.seb.lt.

Issue price of reference item linked notes may be higher than the nominal note value. The difference between issue price and nominal value of the reference item linked note is called risk premium. The purpose of the risk premium is to increase values of the issue variables (participation ratio, the range of interval values of the reference item, etc.). If the investor subscribes for notes with the risk premium, the investor shall assume the risk of additionally invested funds: the additionally invested funds shall not be refunded to the investor, if a change in the reference item value is unfavourable for the investor, i.e., a change in value is different from the one specified in the Final Terms, or only a portion of the additionally invested funds shall be refunded, if on the note redemption date the premium for change in the reference item value is lower than risk premium paid.

Investment notes

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS


SEB

Profitability of these non-equity securities, as well as of the reference item linked notes, depends on change in value of the reference item to be specified in the Final Terms of the issue, and on value of variables (e.g. participation ratio, range of interval values of the reference item, etc.) and/or on (non)occurrence of certain credit events related to the legal entity indicated in the Final Terms of the issue and on interest (coupon) (if interest (coupon) payment is specified in the Final Terms of the issue). In certain cases the Final Terms may establish only payment of interest (coupon) without a payment of premium or other amounts.

If a value of a premium to be paid for the investment notes depends on a change in the reference item value, the Final Terms of the issue shall establish the method for calculating the premium for change in value of the reference item: whether the premium to the investor shall be paid only for increase (or only for decrease) in the value of the reference item, or for both the increase and decrease in value, or in such case when the reference item value reaches certain specified limit or when such limit is not reached, or when the reference item value remains unchanged.

If the payment of premium for investment notes depends on (non)occurrence of certain credit events, related to certain legal entity specified in the Final Terms of the issue, the Final Terms shall specify: a) legal entity in respect of which certain event ensuring the note profitability must occur or must not occur; b) credit event(s), which must occur or must not occur; c) source of information for investors about the above-mentioned legal entity; d) exact value of a premium.

Premium for change in the reference item value or for unchanged reference item value, and also the premium depending on (non)occurrence of certain credit events, related to certain legal entity specified in the Final Terms of the issue may be paid to the investors not only on the investment note redemption date but also within the maturity term on the dates established in the Final Terms. It is an interim premium and its value, payment terms and dates shall be specified in the Final Terms of the issue. The premium paid on the investment note redemption date, and the interim premium paid within the investment note maturity term shall be generally referred to as the "premium". The Final Terms of each issue shall specify whether the premium shall be paid on the investment notes redemption date or within the investment notes maturity term on the dates specified in the Final Terms.

The value of a premium to be paid to investors for each investment note for a favourable change in reference item value can be fixed or calculated according to the formula and shall be rounded to the nearest 4 (four) decimal places based on the arithmetic rules for rounding. The Final Terms of each structured note issue shall specify fixed premium value or its calculation method (formula).

Day count convention method Act/Act (when the premium is paid within the maturity term on the dates established in the Final Terms) evaluating the actual number of days in premium payment period and the actual number of days in a calendar year or Act/365 (when the premium is paid for the entire maturity term on the notes redemption date) evaluating the actual number of days in premium payment period and the 365 days in a calendar year shall be used to calculate premium for investment notes. The Final Terms of particular issue of investment notes may specify another day count convention method to be used for calculating of the value of the premium.

If investment notes are linked to several reference items (basket), the Final Terms may establish that the value thereof in the basket of reference items shall be established at the end of maturity term (following the procedure established in the Final Terms) taking into consideration the change in value of each reference item. The calculation method of reference item initial (strike) and final value shall be established in the Final Terms.

The participation ratio, the range of value fluctuation of reference item, etc. are the variables of the issue. The indicative (expected) and minimum (or maximum) values of variables of each issue shall be specified in the Final Terms. Actual values of variables shall be announced on the date specified in the Final Terms on the Bank's website www.seb.lt.

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS

Issue price of investment notes may be higher than the nominal value. The difference between issue price and nominal value of the investment note is called risk premium. The purpose of the risk premium is to increase values of the issue variables (participation ratio, the range of interval values of the reference item, etc.). If the investor subscribes for investment notes with the risk premium, the investor shall assume the risk of additionally invested funds: the additionally invested funds shall not be refunded to the investor, if change in the reference item value is unfavourable for the investor, i.e., the change in value is different from the one specified in the Final Terms, or only a portion of the additionally invested funds shall be refunded, if on the investment notes redemption date the premium for change in the reference item value is lower than risk premium paid.

Differently from the reference item linked notes, the investors who subscribed for the investment notes, are not guaranteed that on the note redemption date they will be refunded the nominal value of these non-equity securities. The Final Terms of the investment notes shall establish the events, upon occurrence of which (e.g. if the reference item value falls below the specified limit or change in value of the reference item within a certain period of time reaches the specified limit; in respect of certain legal entity the credit event occurs (or does not occur), etc.) the investment notes are not backed up by capital guarantee. The Final Terms of the issue shall also specify the period of time (any time from the estimation day of reference item initial (strike) value until the calculation date of its final value or a specific period of time within non-equity securities maturity term) for verifying whether the conditions when the investment notes are no longer backed up by capital guarantee exist. If within the period of time determined in the Final Terms of the issue, the specified events occur, investment notes are no longer backed up by capital guarantee, i.e., at the end of maturity term the investor shall be paid the note redemption price that may be lower than the nominal value of these non-equity securities. The Bank may issue investment notes that upon occurrence of the events specified in the Final Terms of the issue (e.g. if the reference item value falls below the specified limit or if in respect of certain legal entity the credit event occurs (or does not occur), etc.) result in loss of all invested amount, i.e., at the redemption date of the investment notes, the investor shall be paid the investment notes redemption price equal to 1 (one) cent (or to the smallest unit of a currency of the particular issue). In such case the Final Terms shall establish the events upon occurrence of which the investor loses all invested funds, i.e., the events upon occurrence of which the investment notes redemption price is equal to 1 (one) cent (or to the smallest unit of currency of a particular issue).

The investor should note that the investment is not backed up by capital guarantee, if prior to the investment note redemption date any of the below events occur:

a) due to the factors that are beyond Bank's control, the risk management costs of the derivative transaction concluded by the Bank significantly increase, the derivative transaction is terminated or is replaced in any other way;

b) factors (related to amendments of legal acts, etc.) not permitting the Bank to subscribe, manage or dispose of the reference items which determine profitability of investment notes occur; or the reference items that determine profitability of investment notes are nationalised, expropriated or it is ordered to transfer them in any other way to the government or any other public institution, or due to liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or winding-up or due to other similar procedure of the issuer of the reference item (if relevant) the right to manage, use or dispose of the reference items is limited; or the legal entity that issued the reference items fails to fulfil its obligations related to the reference items issued (e.g. fails to timely pay the coupon); or it is publicly announced that the terms of fulfilment of obligations related to the reference items and / or disposal terms of such reference items are amended (e.g. the nominal value of the reference items is reduced, redemption date is deferred, reference items are replaced by other reference items, etc.);

c) due to factors that are beyond Bank's control, certain conditions arise due to which the reference items to which investment notes are linked are excluded from the securities trading lists (or trading in such reference items is suspended).

The Bank shall immediately inform the holders of non-equity securities on its website www.seb.lt about occurrence of the above specified events or about the fact that investment notes are no longer backed up by capital guarantee. The Bank shall seek to minimize or totally eliminated the economic impact of the above-mentioned events on interests of holders of non-equity securities, following the principles of goodwill, common practice recognized in the international financial market and acting in the interests of investors.

Structured notes

The investors subscribing for structured notes shall assume not only the credit risk of the Bank as the issuer of non-equity securities, but also the credit risk of the third party, specified in the Final Terms of the issue. The Bank shall mandatorily purchase the structured notes from investors if within maturity term thereof at least one of the below specified enforcement events related to third party's credit risk occurs:

  • third party under the established terms and procedure fails to fulfil obligations related to the securities issued by it and specified in the Final Terms of the structured notes issue (e.g. third party fails to timely pay interest (coupon), to redeem the securities specified in the Final Terms, etc.);
  • it is publicly announced that at the request of third party or holders of the securities issued by third party and specified in the Final Terms of the structured notes issue, the terms of fulfilment of obligations and/or disposal terms of the securities specified in the Final Terms are amended (e.g. the nominal value of the securities issued by third party is reduced, redemption date is deferred, securities are replaced by other securities, etc.).

The Bank shall immediately announce about the enforcement event occurred on the Bank's website www.seb.lt. The Bank no later than within 4 (four) business days from the enforcement event date shall mandatorily purchase the structured notes from investors. On the same mandatory purchase date, i.e., no later than on the 4th (fourth) business day from the enforcement event date, the Bank shall settle with the investors for the mandatorily purchased structured notes. The Bank shall settle with the investors for mandatorily purchased structured notes by transferring non-equity securities of the third party specified in the Final Terms or relevant claims rights, or securities issued by such third party replacing the securities of the third party above or relevant claims rights or any portion thereof, and payment in cash. For one mandatorily purchased structured note the investor shall be transferred such number of securities of the third party that the total nominal value of one mandatorily purchased structured note would be equal to the nominal value of securities of the third party transferred for one structured note purchased. If third party replaces the securities of a particular issue specified in the Final Terms with other securities issued by the same third party until the date of mandatory purchase, and the Bank is unable to transfer to the investors the securities of a particular issue specified in the Final Terms, the investor for the mandatorily purchased structured notes shall be transferred other securities issued by the same third party replacing the above securities issued by third party. The investor shall be transferred as many securities of the third party replacing the securities of a particular issue specified in the Final Terms of structured notes issue as the investor would have received, if on the replacement day of the securities he/she would have held the securities of a particular issue specified in the Final Terms of structured notes and the above specified rule would have been applied, i.e., that the investor is transferred such number of securities of the third party that the total nominal value of one mandatorily purchased structured note would be equal to the nominal value of securities of the third party transferred for one structured note purchased.

The amount of a payment in cash to the investor at the moment of mandatory purchase depends on the amount to be received by the Bank for the termination of the derivative transaction of the reference

SEB

item. The derivative transactions should be terminated no later than on the following business day after the date of enforcement event. The payment in cash shall be calculated taking into consideration the size of the issue of the structured notes issued and values of the issue variables (participation ratio, range of interval values of the reference item, etc.) as well as the interest (coupon) (if interest (coupon) payment is specified in the Final Terms of the issue) accrued until the date of mandatory purchase (such date excluded).

Profitability of the structured notes, as well as of the reference item linked notes or investment notes, depends on change in value of the reference item to be specified in the Final Terms of the issue, and on value of variables (e.g. participation ratio, range of interval values of the reference item, etc.) and/or on (non)occurrence of certain credit events related to the legal entity indicated in the Final Terms of the issue and on interest (coupon) (if interest (coupon) payment is specified in the Final Terms of the issue).

If value of the premium to be paid for the structured notes depends on change in the reference item value, the Final Terms of the issue shall establish the method for calculating the change in value of the reference item: whether the premium to the investor shall be paid only for increase (or only for decrease) in the value of the reference item, or both the increase and decrease in value, or in such case when the reference item value reaches certain specified limit or when such limit is not reached, or when the reference item value remains unchanged.

If premium for the structured notes depends on (non)occurrence of certain credit events, related to certain legal entity specified in the Final Terms of the issue, the Final Terms shall specify: a) legal entity in respect of which certain event ensuring the note profitability must occur or must not occur; b) credit event(s), which must occur or must not occur; c) source of information for investors about the above-mentioned legal entity d) exact value of the premium.

Premium for change in the reference item value or for unchanged reference item value, and also the premium depending on (non)occurrence of certain credit events, related to certain legal entity specified in the Final Terms of the issue may be paid to the investors not only on the structured note redemption date but also within the structured note maturity term on the dates established in the Final Terms. It is an interim premium and its value, payment terms and dates shall be specified in the Final Terms of the issue. The premium paid on the structured note redemption date, and the interim premium paid within the structured note maturity term shall be generally referred to as the "premium". The Final Terms of each issue specify whether the premium shall be paid on the redemption date or within the structured note maturity term on the dates specified in the Final Terms.

The value of a premium to be paid for each structured note to investors for a favourable change in reference item value can be fixed or calculated according to the formula and shall be rounded to the nearest 4 (four) decimal places based on the arithmetic rules for rounding. The Final Terms of each structured note issue shall specify fixed premium value or its calculation method (formula).

Day count convention method Act/Act (when the premium is paid within the maturity term on the dates established in the Final Terms) evaluating the actual number of days in premium payment period and the actual number of days in a calendar year or Act/365 (when the premium is paid for the entire maturity term on the notes redemption date) evaluating the actual number of days in premium payment period and the 365 days in a calendar year shall be used to calculate premium for structured notes. The Final Terms of particular issue of structured notes may specify another day count convention method to be used for calculating of the value of the premium.

If structured notes are linked to several reference items (basket), the Final Terms may establish that the value thereof in the basket of reference items shall be established at the end of maturity term (following the procedure established in the Final Terms) taking into consideration the change in value of each reference item. The calculation method of reference item initial (strike) and final value shall be established in the Final Terms.

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS


SEB

The indicative (expected) and minimum (or maximum) values of variables of each issue shall be specified in the Final Terms. Actual values of variables shall be announced on the date specified in the Final Terms on the Bank's website www.seb.lt.

Issue price of structured notes may be higher than the nominal value of the note. The difference between issue price and nominal value of the structured note is called risk premium. The purpose of the risk premium is to increase values of the issue variables (participation ratio, the range of interval values of the reference item, etc.). If the investor subscribes for structured notes with the risk premium, the investor shall assume the risk of additionally invested funds: the additionally invested funds shall not be refunded to the investor, if change in the reference item value is unfavourable for the investor, i.e., the change in value is different from the one specified in the Final Terms, or only a portion of the additionally invested funds shall be refunded, if on the structured notes redemption date the premium for change in the reference item value is lower than risk premium paid.

Differently from the reference item linked notes and investment notes, if at least one enforcement event related to third party credit risk occurs, the Bank shall mandatorily purchase the structured notes from the investor prior to the specified redemption date. The investor is not guaranteed that the amount equivalent to the nominal value of such non-equity securities shall be refunded after the Bank mandatorily purchases these non-equity securities. Mandatory purchase of structured notes means that the structured notes are not anymore backed up by capital guarantee. The Bank shall settle with the investor for mandatorily purchased structured notes by transferring the securities of the third party or relevant claims rights specified in the Final Terms of a particular issue, or the securities issued by such third party replacing the securities of the third party above or relevant claims rights or any portion thereof, and payment in cash. On the date of settlement for mandatorily purchased structured notes, the value of securities of the third party transferred to the investor or other securities issued by the same third party replacing thereof and payment in cash may be lower than the nominal value of the structured notes. In such case the investor may lose a portion of invested funds, and in case of third party insolvency, bankruptcy, moratorium or in similar cases, the investor may lose the total invested amount.

Investors should note that the subscription fee is not subject to refund when calculating the return on investment. If the Final Terms of the issue establish the subscription fee for non-equity securities, on the issue date of non-equity securities issue such fee shall be considered as the Bank's income.

Value dependence on change in value of reference items to which the reference item linked notes, investment notes and structured notes are linked and on (non)occurrence of certain credit events related to the legal entity and derivative transactions of these reference items

Value of reference item linked notes, investment notes and structured notes depends on change in value of the reference item (shares, commodities, currencies, etc.) and/or on (non)occurrence of certain credit events related to the legal entity specified in the Final Terms of the issue.

Reference items to which non-equity securities issued under this Base Prospectus shall be:

  • shares, global depository receipts, other transferable securities equivalent to shares admitted to trading on regulated markets;
  • bonds issued by private and public sector companies, institutions or organisations, including but not limited to governments, public authorities, central banks;

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS


SEB

  • indices of stocks, bonds, commodities, mixed indices (comprised of stocks, bonds, commodities and other reference items);
  • units of undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities (UCITS) (e.g. mutual funds units);
  • units of exchange traded funds (ETF);
  • commodities (industrial metals, precious metals, energy, agricultural, other) spot and future prices;
  • exchange rates;
  • interest rates (e.g. base interest rate of London, Europe and other interbank markets (e.g. LIBOR, EURIBOR)).

Particular reference item(s) to which non-equity securities issued under this Base Prospectus are linked shall be specified in the Final Terms. In such case, the Final Terms shall include a link to the website of a stock exchange/market/association, which establishes and publishes the value of reference item as well as its historical changes.

Investors investing in the reference item linked notes, investment notes or structured notes should note that changes in value of non-equity securities linked to reference item prior to these securities redemption date may not correlate with the change in value of the reference item to which such non-equity securities are linked or with (non)occurrence of certain credit events related to the legal entity; it depends on the change in value of the derivative of the reference item to which these non-equity securities are linked and the changes in the market interest rates within the maturity term of such non-equity securities. For instance, if interest rates in the market increase, the value of non-equity securities linked to reference item may decrease irrespective of the change in value of the reference item or (non)occurrence of certain credit events related to the legal entity. Changes in value of non-equity securities linked to reference item prior to the redemption date may be great and bigger than the changes in value of the reference item to which such non-equity securities are linked and depend on the values of the issue variables (participation ratio, range of interval values of the reference item, etc.). In general, the bigger participation ratio, the greater changes in value of non-equity securities within the period prior to redemption date thereof.

The above feature of non-equity securities linked to reference item is not important for investors who retain the subscribed non-equity securities until the redemption date thereof. The value of non-equity securities (redemption price) to be paid to the investor on the redemption date and its calculation method (i.e., components of the redemption price) shall be specified in the Final Terms of the issue.

Changes in the value of reference item linked notes, investment notes and structured notes until redemption date of such non-equity securities, and also the value of such non-equity securities on the redemption date thereof (redemption price) depend respectively on changes in value of the derivative transaction(s) entered by the Bank within the maturity term of such non-equity securities and the value of derivative transaction(s) at the maturity date thereof. The higher positive return of the derivative transaction(s), the higher profitability of reference item linked notes, investment notes and structured notes for the investor, i.e., higher value of such non-equity securities within the maturity term thereof and higher redemption price of such non-equity securities. In certain cases, no derivative transactions may be concluded by the Bank when issuing reference item linked notes, investment notes and structured notes under this Base Prospectus.

Settlements for the derivative transactions entered by the Bank when issuing non-equity securities under this Base Prospectus shall be made in accordance with the rules approved by International Swap and Derivatives Association (ISDA) and following common practice recognized in the international financial market.

Interest (coupon) payment on reference item linked notes, investment notes and structured notes

The Final Terms of the issue of the reference item linked notes, investment notes and structured notes may specify that the investor who has subscribed for such non-equity securities, shall be paid not only the premium for change in value of the reference item and/or the premium that depends on (non)occurrence of certain credit events related to the legal entity specified in the Final Terms of the issue but shall also receive interest (coupon). Interest (coupon) may be fixed or floating and paid irrespective of the change in value of the reference item to which non-equity securities are linked and/or (non)occurrence of credit events related to the legal entity specified in the Final Terms of the issue. Interest (coupon) may be paid for the entire maturity term on the non-equity securities redemption date or on the specified dates (e.g. on annual basis). Interest (coupon) accrued per each non-equity security shall be rounded to the nearest 4 (four) decimal places based on the arithmetic rules for rounding.

Day count convention method Act/Act or Act/365 shall be used to calculate interest (coupon) accrued on the reference item linked notes, investment notes and structured notes. The Final Terms of the non-equity securities issue may specify another day count convention method to be used for calculating the value of (coupon) to be paid.

Fixed interest (coupon)

If interest is paid for the entire maturity term on the non-equity securities redemption date, the interest shall be calculated according to the below formula taking into account day count convention method Act/365 evaluating the actual number of days in interest payment period and the 365 days in a calendar year:

$$
I = N \times \left(\left(1 + r\right) ^ {\frac {t}{3 6 5}} - 1\right)
$$

I – fixed interest for the entire non-equity securities maturity term;
N – non-equity security nominal value;
r – annual interest rate;
t – issue maturity term in days.

If interest is paid in the form of coupon, the coupon payment shall be calculated according to the below formula taking into account day count convention method Act/Act evaluating the actual number of days in coupon payment period and the actual number of days in a calendar year:

$$
C = N \times \frac {d}{D} \times \frac {r}{1 0 0}
$$

C – coupon payment;
N – non-equity security nominal value;
d – number of calendar days in a coupon;
D – number of days in the year;
r – annual interest rate.

If the structured notes are mandatorily purchased prior to the redemption date specified, the interest (coupon) (if interest (coupon) payment is specified in the Final Terms of the issue) accrued until the mandatory purchase date (such date excluded) shall be included into the cash payment paid for investors.

If the Final Terms of the structured notes issue specify that interest shall be paid for the entire maturity term, the interest accrued until the mandatory purchase date (such date excluded) of the structured notes shall be calculated according to the below formula taking into account day count

SEB

convention method Act/365 evaluating the actual number of days in interest payment period and the 365 days in a calendar year:

I – accrued interest;
N – structured note nominal value;
r – annual interest rate;
T – structured note issue maturity term in days until mandatory purchase date (such date excluded).

If the Final Terms of the structured notes issue specify that interest shall be paid in the form of coupon, the coupon accrued until the mandatory purchase date (such date excluded) shall be calculated according to the below formula taking into account day count convention method Act/Act evaluating the actual number of days in interest payment period and the actual number of days in a calendar year:

C – accrued coupon;
N – structured note nominal value;
r – annual interest rate;
T – structured note issue term in days until mandatory purchase date (such date excluded);
D – number of days in the year.

Fixed interest (coupon) or its calculation method and payment dates of such interest (coupon) shall be specified in the Final Terms of the issue.

Floating interest (coupon)

Floating interest (coupon) shall be paid taking into consideration the base interest rate of certain period and currency of London, Europe and other interbank markets (e.g. LIBOR, EURIBOR) specified in the Final Terms of a particular issue and fixed share of interest (coupon) (if any specified in the Final Terms of the issue). The Final Terms of the issue may specify maximum and minimum floating interest (coupon, indicating fluctuation limits of floating interest (coupon).

If floating interest (coupon) is paid, the Final Terms of the issue shall specify: a) floating interest (coupon) calculation method (formula), b) base interest rate; c) calculation date of base interest rate; d) fixed share of interest (coupon) (if any); e) maximum and minimum floating interest (coupon) (if any); f) floating interest (coupon) payment dates.

Procedure for payment of due amounts to investor for non-equity securities

If valuation date of the reference item, the change in value of which determines profitability of reference item linked notes, investment notes or structured notes is a non-business day, the reference item value shall be calculated on the nearest valuation business date of the particular reference item. The Final Terms of each issue of non-equity securities shall include the definition of a business day applicable to each reference item to which the notes are linked.

If a redemption day, early redemption day, payment day of interest (coupon), premium or any other amounts for non-equity securities is a non-business day, payments to investors shall be made on the nearest business day.

The Bank shall mandatorily purchase the structured notes from investors prior to the specified redemption date if at least one enforcement event related to third party credit risk occurs within the maturity term of the structured notes:

  • the third party fails under the established terms and procedure to fulfil obligations related to securities issued by it and specified in the Final Terms (e.g. third party fails to timely pay the coupon, to redeem the securities specified in the Final Terms, etc.);
  • it is publicly announced that at request of third party or holders of the securities issued by the third party and specified in the Final Terms of the issue, the terms of fulfilment of obligations related to third party securities specified in the Final Terms and / or disposal terms of such securities are amended (e.g. the nominal value of securities issued by third party is reduced, redemption date is deferred, securities are replaced with other securities, etc.);

The Bank shall immediately announce about the occurred enforcement event on the Bank's website www.seb.lt and no later than within 4 (four) business days from the enforcement event date shall mandatorily purchase the structured notes from investors.

The Bank shall settle with the investors for the mandatorily purchased structured notes following the bellow procedure:

a) the investor for one mandatorily purchased structured note shall be transferred the securities of third party specified in the Final Terms of the structured note issue and relevant claims rights or securities issued by the same third party replacing the securities above or relevant claims rights or any portion thereof. For one mandatorily purchased structured note the investor shall be transferred such number of securities of the third party that the total nominal value of mandatorily purchased structured notes would be equal to the nominal value of securities of the third party transferred for one structured note. If third party replaces the securities of a particular issue specified in the Final Terms with other securities issued by the same third party until the date of mandatory purchase, and the Bank is unable to transfer to the investors the securities of a particular issue specified in the Final Terms, the investor for mandatorily purchased structured notes shall be transferred other securities issued by the same third party replacing the above securities issued by third party. The investor shall be transferred as many securities of the third party replacing the securities of a particular issue specified in the Final Terms of structured notes issue as the investor would have received, if on the replacement day of the securities he/she have held the securities of a particular issue specified in the Final Terms of structured notes and the above specified rule would have been applied, i.e., that the investor is transferred such number of securities of the third party that the total nominal value of one mandatorily purchased structured note would be equal to the nominal value of securities of the third party transferred for one structured note purchased, and

b) payment in cash.

The amount of a payment in cash to the investor at the moment of mandatory purchase of structured notes depends on the amount to be received by the Bank for the termination of the derivative transaction of the reference item. The derivative transactions should be terminated no later than on the following business day after the date of enforcement event. The payment in cash shall be calculated taking into consideration the size of the issue of the structured note issued and values of the issue variables (participation ratio, range of interval values of the reference item, etc.) as well as interest (coupon) accrued (if interest (coupon) payment is specified in the Final Terms of a particular structured notes issue) until the date of mandatory purchase (such date excluded).

Taxes to be deducted from non-equity securities income in Latvia

Individual income taxation is regulated by the Law on Personal Income Tax of the Republic of Latvia (hereinafter referred to as the "LPIT") adopted on 11 May 1993 (as amended from time to time) and other subordinate legislation based on the above-mentioned Law.

According to the LPIT an individual resident in Latvia is taxed on interest income (or income which is similar to interest income) at a rate of 10 per cent provided the income is not from the individual's business activity. If the applicable tax has not been withheld at source then it is the obligation of the recipient to declare the income in the individual's annual tax return and pay the applicable tax.

According to the LPIT an individual resident in Latvia is taxed on any gain on the disposition of capital assets including financial instruments at a rate of 15 per cent. The gain is determined as the difference between the acquisition value and the disposal value. It is the individual's obligation to declare the income and pay the tax on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis depending on the amount of gains realized on a monthly basis.

If tax has been paid in another jurisdiction on the income earned from the non-equity securities or from the disposal of the non-equity securities the individual is eligible to reduce his/her Latvian tax liability by the amount of tax paid in the other jurisdiction.

Taxation of income of Latvian legal entities

Taxation of legal entities is regulated by the Law on Enterprise Income Tax of the Republic of Latvia (hereinafter referred to as the "LEIT") adopted on 09 February 1995 (as amended from time to time) and other subordinated legislation based on the above-mentioned Law.

In accordance with the Law on Taxes and Duties of the Republic of Latvia if international treaties signed by the Republic of Latvia establish different rules than the taxation rules established in relevant taxation laws and such treaties are ratified, effective and applicable in the Republic of Latvia, the rules established in such international treaties will have priority.

Taxes to be deducted from non-equity securities income in Estonia

Individual income tax applied to permanent residents of Estonia

Individual income taxation is regulated by the Estonian Income Tax Act ("ITA"). According to ITA, income tax is charged on all interest income (interest accrued from loans, securities, leases or other debt obligations) at 21 per cent tax rate. The said tax shall be withheld by the payer of interest if such

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS


SEB

payer is resident of Estonia, otherwise the tax obligation shall be declared and paid by the Estonian resident individual investor.

Note, that starting from 1 January 2011 Estonian resident individual investors have a possibility to shift their income tax obligation from profits accrued in connection with financial assets from the moment of actual accrual to the moment of distribution. The said postponing of income tax obligation is allowed only for Estonian resident individuals, provided that they open a special investment account with a credit institution of an EEA or OECD member state and administer their investments into financial assets only through such investment accounts.

If interest is paid to investors by an entity residing in a country other than Estonia, and such interest is withheld in the source country, the amounts withheld in the source country will be taken into account when calculating the tax obligation in Estonia, upon submission by the investor to Estonian tax authority of a relevant notice evidencing payment of tax amounts in the source country. Such notice must be issued by the source country's competent tax authority. If the tax amounts paid at source are lower than the corresponding tax obligation arising under Estonian law, such amounts will be credited from the investor's tax obligation in Estonia. If the tax amounts paid at source exceed the tax obligation calculated under Estonian law, the investor will be freed from additional tax obligation in Estonia, however, the difference will not be compensated.

Income tax rate of 21 per cent shall be applied to income from sale or any other transfer of non-equity securities by permanent residents of Estonia. Taxable income generated from sale (or transfer) of the non-equity securities shall be equal to the difference between such non-equity securities' sale price (or market price of other securities received for transfer of such securities) and non-equity securities' subscription price (subscription fee should be taken into consideration/included in calculation?). The resident seeking to reduce taxable income has to deduct expenses related to the non-equity securities' sale or transfer.

Payment of taxes on increase in the assets value of permanent residents of Estonia generated from sale or transfer of non-equity securities may be deferred if sale or transfer of such non-equity securities is accounted for in the above-mentioned securities account.

Taxation of income of Estonian legal entities

The system of taxation of corporate earnings currently in force in Estonia shifts the moment of taxation from the moment of earning the profits to the moment of their distribution. Therefore, no income tax will be charged upon accrual of profit from the payment of interest (coupon) and principal in respect of the Notes until such profit is distributed by the corporate investor – resident of Estonia.

Distribution of profit can be carried out in the form of dividends or various implicit distributions. All such profit distributions are taxed at the rate of 21/79 of the net distribution, which amounts to 21 per cent of the gross amount of the distribution.

Income tax imposed on distributed profits is not a withholding tax and is subject to paying by the corporate entity distributing the profit (and not the receiver of the distribution). As income tax imposed on distributed profits is not a withholding tax, it is also not influenced by the applicable international tax treaties.

Similarly to the taxation of interest, capital gains received from the sale of non-equity securities by Estonian resident corporate investors will be taxed at the rate of 21/79 (from net distributions) only upon distribution of such capital gains in the form of dividends or implicit profit distributions.

If any additional questions arise, investors are required to contact tax consultants independent from the Bank and/or relevant tax administration authorities to obtaining information on taxes applicable to the non-equity securities to be subscribed.

If the investors sign the bond subscription agreements for a number of non-equity securities exceeding the number specified in the Final Terms, the bonds shall be distributed to investors taking into consideration the time of submitting the agreement. The agreements that were submitted to the Bank at the earlier date and time shall have a priority. The bond subscription agreements shall be implemented following the principle of time priority until the established total size of the bond issue is reached.

The applications for bond subscription, in which the investors indicated the interest (coupon or annual yield) higher than the fixed actual interest (coupon or annual yield), shall be rejected. All holders of the bonds issued, irrespective of whether the bonds were subscribed by signing the bond subscription agreements or by submitting the applications, shall be paid the highest interest (coupon or annual yield) specified in the applications that were satisfied by the Bank;

c) in case of any coupon and discount bond issue of an unlimited size, the Bank taking into consideration the number of subscribed bonds under the subscription agreements and applications and market interest rates, shall fix actual interest (coupon or annual yield). When actual interest (coupon or annual yield) is fixed, the applications for bond subscription in which the investors have indicated the interest (coupon or annual yield) higher than the fixed actual interest (coupon or annual yield), shall be rejected. The actual interest (coupon or annual yield) in any case shall not exceed maximum interest (coupon or annual yield) specified in the Final Terms;

The investor who submitted the application for bond subscription shall not be bound to sign the bond subscription agreement, i.e., the bond subscription agreement and the application shall have identical legal power.

Specific features of the structured note offer

It should be noted that in case of the structured note issue, the Bank taking into consideration the number of subscribed structured notes and market interest rates shall have a right to unilaterally shorten the subscription period and/or limit the size of the issue indicated in the Final Terms.

SEB

Information on minimum and (or) maximum number of non-equity securities specified in non-equity securities subscription documents

Minimum number of the non-equity securities to be subscribed by one investor is 1 (one), unless the Final Terms provide otherwise. In case of the coupon and discount bond issue, when the bond subscription agreements may be signed and the applications for bond subscription may be submitted, the Final Terms shall specify minimum amount to be invested in the bonds by the investor who submits the application for bond subscription and indicates the interest (coupon or annual yield) not lower than established minimum interest (coupon or annual yield).

Unless the Final Terms provide otherwise, the largest number of non-equity securities to be offered to one investor shall not be specified. However if the issue is of a limited size, it may not exceed the number of the non-subscribed non-equity securities remaining on the signing date of the agreement, or if the issue is of an unlimited size, it may not exceed the total number of non-subscribed non-equity securities under the Programme remaining on the signing date of the agreement.

Method and term for paying up the securities and delivery of securities

The Final Terms of each issue of non-equity securities shall specify the method and term for paying up the securities.

If the Final Terms specify that the payment date for non-equity securities subscribed under the subscription agreement is the last day of non-equity securities subscription period, it means that the investors shall have to pay up for non-equity securities on the last day of non-equity securities subscription period by the time specified in the Final Terms and at the price that is effective on such date.

If the Final Terms specify that the payment day for non-equity securities subscribed under the subscription agreements is the subscription date of non-equity securities, it means that the investors shall have to pay for non-equity securities on the subscription date of non-equity securities by the time specified in the Final Terms and at the price that is effective on that subscription date. Such payment method for non-equity securities shall always be applied in respect of the issues of coupon bond and discount bond of an unlimited size, when coupon on bonds (in case of the coupon bond issue) and annual yield (in case of the discount bond issue) are estimated and published in the Final Terms, and the Final Terms also specify that the Bank, taking into consideration the number of subscribed bonds and market interest rates, shall have a right to unilaterally shorten the subscription period of such issue of coupon and discount bond, indicated in the Final Terms. Such payment method for non-equity securities shall also be applied in case of the issue of structured note when the Final Terms specify that the Bank, taking into consideration the number of subscribed structured notes and market interest rates, shall have a right to unilaterally shorten the subscription period of such issue of structured notes, indicated in the Final Terms.

The Final Terms may specify that each investor signing the agreement has an opportunity to select a payment date for non-equity securities, if such date is the subscription date of non-equity securities, and the price applicable on the relevant subscription date. It means that the investor may sign the agreement and to immediately pay for the non-equity securities being subscribed (at the price effective on the date of signing the agreement) or sign the agreement, which establish an obligation to subscribe for the requested number of non-equity securities and pay for non-equity securities later on (on the date selected by the investor until the time specified in the Final Terms) at the price effective on the payment date. If on the date of signing the agreement it is impossible to pay the subscription price (e.g. if the signing date is Saturday, etc.) for non-equity securities being subscribed, the investor in all cases shall have to select the date of payment for the non-equity securities. All payments under such

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS


SEB

agreements shall be made within the term specified in the Final Terms. If the investor signs an agreement with the Bank which binds the investor to pay for the non-equity securities being subscribed later than on the signing date of the agreement and the investor fails to timely pay for non-equity securities, such agreement shall become invalid.

The Final Terms may specify that each investor signing the subscription agreement of non-equity securities has to accumulate in his/her account indicated in the subscription agreement the amount of funds necessary to pay for the non-equity securities. The investor may also sign the subscription agreement of non-equity securities, when the amount of funds accumulated in the account is insufficient to pay for the non-equity securities being subscribed, but only if on the selected date of payment for the non-equity securities the sufficient funds are received in the account from the sale of other securities in relation to which the sale order is submitted by the investor.

The Final Terms may also specify that if the date of payment for non-equity securities is later than the date of the signing the subscription agreement of non-equity securities, the Bank shall limit the investor's right to dispose of the specified amount in the investor's account, which is necessary to pay for the non-equity securities being subscribed.

The Final Terms may specify an exact term for subscription and payment for non-equity securities and hours. The Final Terms shall also specify the date by which the agreement with the deferred payment may be signed (if applicable). After this date passes all non-equity securities being subscribed shall be paid up only on the subscription date of non-equity securities. If such date coincides with the final date for subscription of non-equity securities, such date shall not be specified.

The investors who submitted the applications for bond subscription shall have to pay up on the date by the particular time as specified in the Final Terms, however no later than until the bond issue date.

The Final Terms may also specify that for the investors subscribing for non-equity securities through placement agents in Latvia and (or) Estonia there is only one payment date, which most probably shall be the final day of the subscription period, and the relevant subscription price of such day shall be applied. Even though the application is submitted earlier than the final day of the subscription period, the investors shall not be deemed as having subscribed for the non-equity securities up to the final day of the subscription period when the payment for the non-equity securities shall be executed.

The Final Terms may also specify that if investors subscribe for non-equity securities through placement agents in Latvia and (or) Estonia, their right to dispose of the funds necessary to pay for the non-equity securities may be limited within the whole period from the day they applied for subscription until the payment day (which is the final day of the subscription period)

Amounts paid by the investors for non-equity securities under the subscription agreements of non-equity securities that become invalid (in case of the issue cancellation) shall be refunded to investors no later than within 5 (five) business days from the announcement about the issue cancellation. If the issue of non-equity securities is cancelled at the end of the subscription period of non-equity securities, the amount, paid by the investor for each non-equity security under cancelled subscription agreement equal to the value of the non-equity securities effective on the issue date under the cancelled subscription agreements and the subscription fee (if any), shall be credited to the account from which respective amount was debited for each subscribed non-equity security. If the issue is cancelled prior to the end of the subscription period, the investors shall be credited the amount equal to the subscription price effective on issue cancellation date paid for non-equity securities subscribed under the cancelled subscription agreements and the subscription fee (if any).

9. RISK FACTORS

Within SEB Bankas Group, risks are managed in a centralised manner. The main types of risks managed by the Bank include issuer risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk (covering foreign exchange risk exposure, interest rate risk, and share price risk), and operational risk. The risks are managed through adherence both to internal norms as well as to those set by the Bank of Lithuania. In 2013, the Bank met all the parameters limiting risks as set forth by the Bank of Lithuania.

Issuer risk. Bank's obligations against investors are not additionally secured by any guarantee and/or in any other manner, the Bank's obligation to redeem non-equity securities is not insured by State Company „Indélių ir investicijų draudimas“, therefore, the investor assumes operational risk of the bank, related to political, economic, technical and technological as well as social factors. In case of the Bank's bankruptcy, claims of holders of non-equity securities would be satisfied according to the procedure and order of priority established by legal acts of the Republic of Lithuania.

Credit risk. The risk that the other counterparty shall be unable to duly meet its obligations against the Bank. The risk of the counterparty is assessed based on credit equivalents calculated with respect to the type of a financial deal. SEB Bankas Group's Credit Policy is applied adhering to the principle that any lending transaction may be executed only subject to credit analysis. Taking into account the complexity of the deal and customer's creditworthiness, various credit risk management measures are applied.

SEB Bankas Group loans are assessed individually as well as in total, taking into account its total portfolio. Assessment of the portfolio of homogeneous loan groups with similar risk characteristics, i.e., natural persons' mortgage loans, consumer loans, payment card account overdraft

limits, also, loans to small enterprises, is performed. Special provisions for homogenous loans are formed by applying statistical methodology based on historical data on any defaults of the borrowers and sustained losses within the corresponding homogeneous loan group. Individually assessed borrowers are assigned to a relevant risk class, based on which special provisions requirement is established. SEB Bankas Group classifies its individually assessed borrowers based on 16 risk classes.

Risks are managed by carrying out regular analysis of the borrower's ability to meet its obligations: to repay the loan and pay interest. SEB Bankas Group establishes credit risk limits per single borrower, a group of borrowers or per economic activities. Borrower credit risk, taking into consideration the risk class assigned to the borrower, is revised on a regular basis, no less than once a year. Analysis of the borrower, borrower group and industry sector risks is also performed on regular basis.

Applied credit portfolio concentration risk limits are as follows:

  • maximum exposure per single borrower must not exceed 25 per cent of the Bank's/ SEB Bankas Group's equity, and the total amount of large exposures may not exceed 800 per cent of the Bank's/ SEB Bankas Group's equity;
  • total loans issued by the Bank to other subsidiary companies of the parent company or the Bank's subsidiary companies per single borrower may not exceed 75 per cent of the Bank's equity, if the Bank of Lithuania performs consolidated supervision of the entire financial group. If the Bank of Lithuania does not perform any consolidated supervision of the entire financial group, the maximum exposure per each SEB Bankas Group company may not exceed 20 per cent of the Bank's equity.

Market risk is the risk of losses or of a loss of future net income due to changes in interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates and share prices (including the price risk in case of sales of assets or closing of positions).

Interest rate risk is the risk that the Bank will incur losses due to interest rate fluctuations. Interest rate risk is managed by forecasting market interest rates and making relevant adjustments so that there is no mismatch in the assets and liabilities within the revaluation periods. The Bank applies interest rate risk management methods that help to measure SEB Bankas Group's sensitivity to interest rate changes by computing the impact to yearly net interest income (ΔNII) and net effect on the market value of shareholders equity (delta 1%) in case of a parallel shift by one percentage point in the yield curve.

Credit margin risk is the risk that the value of debt securities will decrease as a result of a change in the issuer's credit risk. This type of risk is managed by establishing limits on investments in debt securities. The Bank also sustains risk as a result of credit margin changes in Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) in case of increased a derivative counterparty's default risk.

Foreign exchange risk exposure - the risk that the Bank has a net open foreign exchange position resulting from foreign exchange trading operations and / or its assets and liabilities structure, will suffer losses as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign exchange risk exposure is defined by two measures: the single open foreign currency position and the aggregate open currency position - the larger one of all summed-up long and short open currency positions. Foreign exchange risk measures include net exposure of spot and forward positions, foreign exchange futures, including gold, the delta equivalent position of foreign exchange options and other balance sheet items. The currency risk control is ensured by monitoring the risk exposure against the limits established for single open currency position. The Bank adheres to the open currency position limits established by the Bank of Lithuania: 1) maximum open position in one currency (other than the Euro) must be no more than 15 per cent of the bank's equity; 2) maximum total (other than the Euro) open position must be no more than 25 per cent of the bank's equity.

Changes in the financial SEB Bankas Group's maximum open position as a percent of the financial SEB Bankas Group's total equity during the recent years is shown in the table below (euro position is included in open position calculation).

SEB Bankas Group 31 Dec 2011 30 June 2012 31 Dec 2012 30 June 2013
Maximum open single currency position 105,63 per cent 139,00 per cent 133.48 percent 57.49 percent
Maximum aggregate open currency position 0,34 per cent 1,01 per cent 0.22 percent 0.80 percent

Share price risk - is the risk that the Bank will incur losses on equity portfolio held by the Bank. Share price risk is managed by establishing limits that describe acceptable share price risk, taking into consideration any possible losses related to market price volatility, by establishing the structure of the share portfolio.

Liquidity risk – is the risk that the bank may be unable to timely meet its financial obligations and/or, aiming to meet them, it may have to sell its financial assets and/or close positions and will sustain losses due to a lack of liquidity in the market. In this case, there is also the risk that the Bank's creditors, in the presence of certain conditions, may demand the initiation of the Bank's bankruptcy proceedings.

SEB Bankas Group adheres to conservative liquidity risk management policy that ensures adequate fulfilment of its current financial obligations, the level of obligatory reserves with the Bank of Lithuania, liquidity ratio higher than that established by the Bank of Lithuania and solvency capacity under unforeseen unfavourable circumstances. The liquidity risk management system is based on the analysis of actual and forecasted cash flows.

Changes in the Bank's and SEB Bankas Group's liquidity ratio over years are shown in the table below.

Operational risk is the risk of loss due to external events (natural disasters, external crime, etc) or internal factors (e.g. breakdown of IT systems, mistakes, fraud, non-compliance with external and internal rules, other deficiencies in internal controls).

On 1 January 2008, the regulators issued a permission to the Bank to use the AMA (Advanced Measurement Approach) model in the operational risk assessment process for the calculation of regulatory capital for the operational risk.

The Bank has developed and continuously upgrades and improves its operational risk management tools: operational risk policy, ORSA (Operational Risk Self Assessment) and RTSA (Rogue Trading Self Assessment) methodologies, activities continuity planning requirements and continuity plans, new product and services approval process, etc.

Bank has launched and continuously uses its operation risk management system ORMIS, which is a SEB Bankas Group wide IT solution. The operational risk management system enables each employee of SEB Bankas Group to register all operational risk incidents and the management at all levels – to assess, monitor and control risks and compile various reports. With the aim to achieve as detailed as possible assessment of the operational risk, ORSA and RTSA methodologies are applied, internal controls are undertaken, regular assessment of subdivision and process risks is performed.

Another two systems related to operational risk management are used for the development of new products and/or services NAMIS (New Activity Management Information System) and for the formation of activity continuity plans for subdivisions LDRPS (Living Disaster Recovery Planning System).

The Bank has the Operational Risk Committee, which is aimed at improving the operational risk management and ensure appropriate cooperation between risk managers and control units. The management board is provided with quarterly operational risk reports, which contain a review of new operational risk cases, efficiency of the application of the operational risk management measures as well as other risks.

Business risk is the risk of a decrease in income due to any unforeseen shortage of regular income that is usually determined by a drop in business volumes, price pressure or competition. Business risk also includes reputation risk, which is a risk of a decrease in income from ordinary activities and which may arise due to any adverse rumours about the bank or about the banking sector generally.

Strategy risk is the risk caused by unfavourable or erroneous business solutions, improper implementation of decisions or insufficient response to any political changes or changes in the regulatory acts or the banking sector.

Business and strategy risk management at the Bank is delegated to relevant responsible units, which based on business plans and their implementation control, identify such risks and manage/mitigate them. Said units continuously monitor the set ratios. In case any decline is found, relevant information is provided to the management board and/or other responsible persons. Also, the Bank has approved activity continuity plans.

Risk of non-compliance with the capital adequacy ratio means the risk that the bank's capital may be insufficient to cover its financial losses arising out of currently held risk-weighted assets, thus it may require to decrease the risk level of the bank assets, to attract the additional capital or to

SEB

liquidate the bank. The actual capital adequacy reserve exceeding the capital adequacy requirement (8 per cent) approved by the Bank of Lithuania shows the bank's risk.

Lithuanian banks are required to maintain capital adequacy ratio, which is calculated as the capital base to risk-weighted assets ratio. During the internal capital adequacy assessment process for 2013, the target capital adequacy ratio was set at higher than 12 per cent.

In the first quarter of 2013, the shareholders decided to strengthen the capital and at the same time capital adequacy by profit earned in 2012 (no dividends were paid).

Having strengthened its capital base with its profit earned in 2012 and upon obtaining a relevant prior approval of the Bank of Lithuania, on 19 April 2013 AB SEB bankas bought out an issue of securities of indeterminate duration worth EUR 100,000,000 (repaid a subordinated loan), thus reducing its capital base and increasing the share of Tier I capital within total capital. Also, with the aim to increase capital adequacy, open short currency position in the Litas (long in the Euro) was decreased. The optimisation allowed achieving considerable interest cost cutting, maintaining high capital adequacy.

Changes in the bank and SEB Bankas Group capital adequacy ratios during recent years are presented in the table below.

13.59% 14.01% 15,17% 15,84% 12.94% 12.95% 13,37% 13,85%

Risk of increase in the bank's liabilities (in relation to the issued non-equity securities) means the risk that increasing liabilities of the Bank may result in too high debt-to-capital or debt-to-asset ratio, which means the risk for the bank in fulfilment of its obligations.

As of 31 August 2013, AB SEB bankas had outstanding 84 non-equity securities issues with a total nominal value of LTL 126,852,427.

10. INFORMATION ABOUT THE ISSUER

10.1. History and development of the Issuer

AB SEB bankas, a member of the Northern European financial group SEB, is the largest commercial bank in Lithuania and provides banking services to individuals, companies, and financial institutions. AB SEB bankas provides services to over one million customers throughout Lithuania.

AB SEB bankas has 3 subsidiaries. The subsidiaries are as follows: AB "SEB lizingas" is a fully owned subsidiary engaged in the finance lease activities; UAB "SEB Venture Capital" is a fully owned subsidiary involved in venture capital activities; UAB "SEB investicijų valdymas" is a fully owned subsidiary engaged in provision of investments' management services activities.

AB SEB bankas was established in Lithuania in 1990 (it was first called Spaudos Bankas, later—Vilniaus Bankas, and still later—SEB Vilniaus Bankas). AB SEB bankas was one of the pioneers of cutting-edge commercial banking in Lithuania. From the very beginning of its operation in Lithuania, the Bank has implemented new financial services, encouraging the development of the country's banking, and exercising great influence on the development of the country's bank market.

In November 1991, the Bank (which at that time was called Vilniaus Bankas) became a member of the international payment card association Visa International. In December 1993, the Bank issued the first Visa Classic card in Lithuania. In December of the same year, the Bank joined the global interbank transfer network SWIFT.

SEB

In 1995, two new divisions of the Bank were established to provide new services in Lithuania: the Financial Brokerage Department and the leasing company (now—AB "SEB lizingas"). Furthermore, the first large long-term credit lines from the World Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) were received and the first in Lithuania twin bank programme with ABN AMRO Bank (Holland) was started. In October of the same year, the bank rating agency granted the Bank with the first international rating.

In March 1998, a strategic cooperation agreement was signed between the banks of the three Baltic States: Eesti Uhipank, Latvijas Unibanka, and the Bank. In June, the Bank acquired 70% of UAB FMI Vilfima, which was then reorganised as a subsidiary—UAB "SEB Enskilda" that is now within SEB Bankas Group. In December, the Bank issued a targeted issue of shares, which was subscribed for by the strategic investor Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (Sweden). The authorised capital of the Bank increased to LTL 150 million.

In 1999, a subsidiary, life insurance company (now—UAB "SEB gyvybės draudimas") began operations; this was the first company in Lithuania to offer investment life insurance.

On 31 December 1999, AB SEB bankas acquired AB Bankas Hermis, which was fully integrated into the structure of the Bank by July 2000. Furthermore, AB SEB bankas distributed a new issue of shares intended to replace the shares of AB Bankas Hermis with the shares of AB SEB bankas, and this led to the authorised capital of the Bank increasing to LTL 154 million.

In October and November 2000, after the implementation of the official offer to purchase all the shares of AB SEB bankas, AB SEB bankas became a subsidiary bank of Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB. In 2000, AB SEB bankas became the first bank in Lithuania to establish an investment management company (now—UAB "SEB investicijų valdymas").

In January 2005, after the acquisition of 95.02% of the shares of Agio bank (Ukraine) by the Bank, SEB Bankas Group began its expansion into the Eastern European markets.

On 18 April 2005, the name of the Bank was changed from AB Vilniaus Bankas to AB SEB Vilniaus Bankas. The names of subsidiaries were also changed accordingly. In 2005, a new modern online service system was launched and the Bank began to issue chip payment cards.

In December 2006, the principal shareholder of AB SEB bankas, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB, started the compulsory process of redemption of minority shares with a view to acquiring the remaining shares of the Bank for the price approved by the Securities Commission of the Republic of Lithuania—LTL 266.96 per share.

During the extraordinary meeting of the shareholders of AB SEB bankas held on 15 November 2007, it was decided to change the name of the Bank from AB SEB Vilniaus Bankas to AB SEB bankas and to change the names of subsidiaries accordingly.

According to current international practice, the sale of the real estate belonging to the banks of SEB Bankas Group was completed at the end of 2007. AB SEB bankas sold 25 real properties to the Homburg Invest Inc. group of companies with a view to ensuring even more effective operation and engaging exclusively in its main banking activities after the release of the capital.

At the end of 2007, the Bank of Lithuania took the decision to allow AB SEB bankas, from 1 January 2008, to independently evaluate and set the Bank's need for capital by the method of credit risk evaluation based on internal ratings in compliance with the requirements of the new EU directives concerning capital adequacy. The possibility to independently set the need for capital proves that the Bank has developed procedures that meet the most stringent international standards for the management of credit risk in the banking sector.

On 21 January 2008, after the Register of Legal Entities of the Republic of Lithuania registered the amended Articles of Association of the Bank and issued the Bank with a new registration certificate,

AB SEB bankas changed it name (from SEB Vilniaus Bankas) and completed the process of change of the name that lasted for over two years, thus finally affirming its membership in the international financial group SEB. The names of the Bank's branch offices, Bank's companies and their representative offices were also changed accordingly.

In the same year, SEB Bankas Group transferred some of its operations to Lithuania—the Vilnius Branch of Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB was established, which provides SEB Bankas Group in different countries with IT, finance, operation and personnel administration services.

At the beginning of 2009, with a view to increasing the efficiency of its operation and ensuring an even higher quality of services provided to customers, AB SEB bankas adjusted the structure of its customer service branches and changed the names of the branches. After the new organisational structure of the branches had been implemented, the branches (of the Eastern Region, of the Central Region, and of the Western Region) became responsible for the coordination of the operation of all the Bank's branches (financial services centres (FSC) and units) belonging to them. The Bank's branches that operated prior to this adjustment became financial services centres and assumed the functions that were previously performed by the branches, while the customer service branches became FSC units and assumed the functions that were previously performed by customer service units.

Based on the model used throughout SEB Bankas Group, in 2009 AB SEB bankas started integrating its leasing business activities—all the leasing services and their administration will be transferred from the subsidiary AB "SEB lizingas" to AB SEB bankas in the foreseeable future, which will help to ensure the provision of services that best satisfy the needs of customers and allow business administration costs to be reduced.

At the beginning of 2010, AB SEB bankas transferred all the shares of its subsidiary UAB "SEB gyvybės draudimas" to the company SEB Trygg Liv Holding AB, which belongs to the international SEB Group and is registered in the Kingdom of Sweden. The shares were transferred with a view to strengthening the management and coordination of life insurance activities in the international SEB Group.

At the beginning of 2010, AB SEB bankas transferred all the shares of its subsidiary UAB "Litectus" to the real estate management company Warehold B.V. of SEB Group. This company received the shares of real estate management companies owned by SEB banks in all three Baltic States. The transfer of the shares was aimed at optimising the management of the real estate of the Group both in the Baltic States and throughout the SEB Group. The activities of UAB "Litectus" in Lithuania did not change after the transfer—the aim of the company remains the assurance of the management, development and sale of real estate which is purchased and disposed of by the Bank and which serves as a guarantee of loan repayment; the name of the company did not change either.

In July 2010, AB SEB bankas completed and launched a new main information system of the Bank, FlexCube, which is used to provide the Bank's services and to manage business processes. The new system opened new development prospects for the Bank—provided the Bank with an opportunity to implement various customer-targeted novelties in a more flexible manner and to speed up the Bank's internal processes. The FlexCube system is one of the most advanced and popular systems currently used by financial institutions in 105 countries.

In 2010, AB SEB bankas, together with AB DNB bankas, distributed Lithuanian Government 7-year bonds in euros with a value of LTL 259 million.

In 2010, the principal shareholder of AB SEB bankas, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ), completed the compulsory process of acquiring minority shares that was started in December 2006 and that was aimed at acquiring all the shares of the Bank. At present, 100% of the shares of AB SEB bankas in Lithuania is owned by Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ).

Information about the activities of credit and payment institutions and about the supervision of these institutions in Lithuania in 2012 and in the 1st half-year of 2013 is presented below (source: Bank of Lithuania).

In 2012, there was a very rapid increase in deposits, and the loan portfolio significantly increased after a several year break. All banks, except for akcinė bendrovė Ūkio bankas, were characterized by high capital adequacy and liquidity levels. It should be noted that from December 2012 to January 2013, after the inspection of akcinė bendrovė Ūkio bankas, the results showed that the financial and supervision reports submitted by the inspected bank to the Supervision Service of the Bank of Lithuania, do not reflect the real situation of the bank, therefore, in order for the data to be comparable, the data of akcinė bendrovė Ūkio bankas is eliminated from the analysis of the banking sector indicators.

In 2012, the bank assets declined a little, but compared to 2011, the decrease was insignificant — merely LTL 0.5 billion (0.7%). On 1 January 2013, the bank assets totalled to LTL 74.3 billion.

The loan portfolio, comprising the major part of assets, which was declining during Q1, grew steadily for the next part of the year. In 2012, the bank loan portfolio increased by LTL 1.1 billion and on 1 January 2013 totalled LTL 52.9 billion.

Despite the prevailing very low interest rates, deposits in the banking sector increased significantly in 2012. According to data of 1 January 2013, bank deposits amounted to LTL 43.6 billion, and in akciné bendrové Ükio bankas — another LTLT 3.4 billion. So basically, as of 1 January, deposits in the banking sector (including akciné bendrové Ükio bankas) were as high as LTL 47 billion. This is a record amount in excess of even the former deposit levels before the suspension of akciné bendrové bankas SNORAS activities. The annual deposit growth rate was as high as 8.9 per cent (after eliminating akciné bendrové Ükio bankas — 9.6%).

In the second quarter of 2013, the banking sector performance remained stable, the banks generated profits and complied with the prudential requirements. UniCredit retreat from the market was one of the major factors, which resulted in decrease of the banks' assets by LTL 1.7 billion. The value of the banks' assets almost reached the level prior to economic overheating: as of 1 July 2013, the value of assets held by banks amounted to LTL 75.6 billion or identical to the value 6 years ago.

Bank loan portfolio

In 2012, as compared to 2011, the bank loan portfolio increased by 2 per cent and at the end of 2012 amounted to LTL 52.9 billion. Over the year, lending to private companies, financial and government institutions increased, while to natural persons and state and municipal enterprises — decreased. The positive growth of the loan portfolio is expected in 2013 as well — preconditions for further growth in the loan portfolio consists of moderate growth in the national economy, increasing lending commitments, as well as increased free cash volumes available to banks, that resulted when the Bank of Lithuania reduced the reserve requirement ratio.

Credit commitments during the year increased by LTL 453.8 million, or 7.1 per cent. This indicates that the loan portfolio will increase in the future.

In the second quarter of this year, the bank loan portfolio shrank by 0.7 per cent and as of 1 July 2013 made up LTL 53.9 billion. Such decrease of the bank loan portfolio was determined by the above-mentioned retreat of UniCredit from the market. A slight growth of the bank loan portfolio would be observed if the value of the loan portfolio transferred by said branch to the head office in Latvia is eliminated.

The ratios indicating the loan portfolio quality insignificantly improved in the second quarter. Such stabilisation of the ratios indicating the loan portfolio quality shows that uncertainty, which prevailed in the entire banking sector after the economic decline in general is coming to an end due to future perspectives of the specific sectors, assessment of the financial standing of borrowers and that the banks finalising the recovery procedures initiated in the crisis period eliminate bad loans from the financial reporting.

Profitability and efficiency of operations

In 2012, the banks earned LTL 721.5 million of profit — a third less than in 2011.

Banking profit decline was primarily due to the loan value impairment. Last year, for the loan value impairment, the banks experienced LTL 49 million in costs and in 2011, because of previously recognized loan impairment reversals, banks received LTL 164.4 million in income.

Major income of the banks is net interest income, that in 2012, as compared to 2011, declined by 124.1 million litas (9.8%) to LTL 1.1 billion. The decline in net interest income is mainly due to interest income from the loan portfolio, that decreased by LTL 284.5 million, while bank interest expense, although was declining, but not to the extent of the falling interest income.

Although the banks were profitable last year, but due to the lower profit, the indicators describing the operating efficiency of banks, according to data of 1 January 2013, were lower than in 2011: the banking cost to income ratio was 58.2 per cent, the annual banking sector index of return on assets — 1 per cent, return on capital — 8.7 per cent.

In the first-half of the year 2013, the banks and foreign bank branches earned LTL 550,3 million, or more by 61 per cent as compared with the first-half of 2012. If the profit of "Swedbank" AB generated from sale of a number of shares of the life insurance company in the first quarter and profits of other banks received from subsidiaries are excluded, the profit of the banking sector of the first-half year before taxes and provisions, as compared with the respective period of the year 2012, shrank by 12.7 per cent. Such change basically was determined by a decrease in net interest income and growth of operating expenses.

Continuing increase in operating expenses reduced the banks' profit: in the first half, as compared with the relevant period of 2012, said expenses grew by 9.6 per cent, or up to LTL 528.2 million. Staff costs grew by 5 per cent, other costs and administrative costs also went up. It is expected that in future

LTL 1,000,000,000 BASE PROSPECTUS OF NON-EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUES OF AB SEB BANKAS

the banks seeking to decrease their operating costs will further stimulate e-banking development and may cut its staff number.

Implementation of prudential requirements for banking activities

As of 1 July 2013, all banks complied with the prudential requirements for banking activities, besides the banks should not face any difficulties of complying with the new capital adequacy and liquidity ratios established in the new Capital Requirements Directive (CRD IV).

Rather high capital adequacy ratio was typical of the banking system: in the second quarter of 2013, the banking sector capital adequacy ratio did not change and based on the data as of 1 July 2013 made up 15.6 per cent. Liquidity ratio as of 1 July 2013 made 39.3 per cent, or was higher by 9 percentage points compared to the requirement.

INFORMATION ON THE OPERATIONS OF THE CENTRAL CREDIT UNION OF LITHUANIA

As of 1 July 2013, 63 credit unions were the members of the Central Credit Union of Lithuania (hereinafter - CCUL).

CCUL assets decreased in the second quarter of 2013 by LTL 67.6 million and as of 1 July 2013 totalled LTL 334.7 million. The main reason of such decrease was shrinking deposit portfolio of the credit unions, i.e., members of CCUL. Deposits of the credit unions, which in the second quarter of 2013 shrank by nearly one fourth (to LTL 246,9 million) remained the major financing source of CCUL assets (74% of CCUL assets were financed from deposits).

Loan portfolio of CCUL members in the second quarter of 2013 insignificantly increased and as of 1 July 2013 exceeded LTL 63 million. Subordinated debts granted to the credit unions represented a significant portion of CCUL loan portfolio (46%).

In the first half of the year 2013, CCUL earned profit of LTL 953 thousand (LTL 463 thousand within the equivalent period of 2012). Interest income on investment in the Government securities made the largest effect on CCUL performance result.

CCUL continued to comply with liquidity and capital adequacy ratios with a significant reserve.

REVIEW OF THE ACTIVITIES OF CREDIT UNIONS

As of 1 January 2013, 77 credit unions had activity licences issued by the Bank of Lithuania. They had nearly 146 thousand members. In the year 2012, three new credit unions started their activity (credit union Panevėžio Regiono Taupomoji Kasa, LTL Kredito Unija and Verslo Kredito Unija).

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the assets of credit unions grew by 3.2 per cent, and during a one-year period – more than by one fourth. Irrespective of a rapid growth of the credit unions, they make an insignificant part of the finance sector as their assets as of 1 January 2013, totalling nearly LTL 2.1 billion made up 2.6 per cent of the operating banking system assets.

Loans represented the greatest share (54.6 %) of the assets of the credit unions. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the loan portfolio shrank by 1.7 per cent, however since the start of the year it grew by 20.3 per cent and as of 1 January 2013, the loans granted by the credit unions amounted to LTL 1.1 billion.

The credit unions with their limited opportunities to offer a wider range of services are attractive for depositors due to higher interest rates compared to those offered by banks. The depositors taking into consideration a large difference in interest rates on deposits continued to increase the deposit portfolio of the credit unions. In the fourth quarter of 2012, deposits with the credit unions increased by 6.6 per cent and within the year 2012 – by nearly 30 per cent and as of 1 January 2013 amounted to LTL 1.8 billion, or 96.4 per cent of liabilities of the credit unions.

Unaudited financial statements show that in the year 2012, 52 credit unions generated the profit of LTL 10.3 million, however 25 credit unions incurred losses of LTL 65.4 million. Total annual result is the loss of LTL 55.1 million, which is the worst result since the start of activities of the credit unions in the year 1995.

Liquidity ratio of the credit unions as of 1 January 2013 made up 48.98 per cent (requirement - 30%). Capital adequacy ratio was complied by the credit unions with a significant reserve - the ratio on the reporting date made up 16.96 per cent (requirement - 13%), however two credit unions (Nacionaline Kredito Unija and credit union Švyturio Taupomoji Kasa), whose activity licences were cancelled in January 2013 failed to comply with this ratio.

As of 1 July 2013, 74 credit unions were operating in Lithuania (as of 9 May 2013, the Board of the Bank of Lithuania has cancelled the activity licence issued for credit union Laikinosios Sostinės Kreditas, which had more than 145 thousand members. Members of the (CCUL were 63 credit unions and 11 credit unions operated independently.

Activity restrictions imposed on some credit unions and the new more rigid prudential requirements limited the volumes of irresponsible lending and development of the credit union system became more sustainable. The decreased number of the credit unions also made effect on the main activity ratios of the credit union system.

Assets of the credit unions in the second quarter 2013 remained nearly unchanged however as compared with the data of 1 July 2012, during the year assets grew by 9.8 per cent and as of 1 July 2013 totalled LTL 2 billion, or 2.7 per cent of the banking system assets. Assets of the ten largest credit unions made up more than a half of all assets of the credit unions. Credit union Vilniaus Taupomoji Kasa remains the largest credit union: its assets made up 17.6 per cent of the total assets of the credit unions.

REVIEW OF THE ACTIVITIES OF PAYMENT INSTITUTIONS

Activities performed

As of 1 January 2013, twenty eight payment institutions were registered in the Public List of Payment Institutions. Of these, 20 held licences entitling to provide payment services in the Republic of Lithuania and other European Union member states, 8 - payment institution licences for restricted activity (waivers) only valid in the Republic of Lithuania and providing that the average amount of payment transactions performed by a payment institution within the last 12 months is not above LTL 1 million per month.

Most payment institutions, as in previous periods, carried out economic and commercial activities, providing payment services as additional services only, hence the debt of all payment institutions for payment services on the reporting date accounted for a small share (5.6%) of total liabilities.

The total turnover of all payment institutions' payment transactions performed in 2012 amounted to LTL 6 billion. It slightly increased in the fourth quarter (LTL 154 million, or 2.6%). In 2012 payment institutions' income earned from the provision of payment services made LTL 65 million, an increase of LTL 10 million, or 18% year on year. This was driven mainly by an increase in the number of payment institutions in 2012.

In the second quarter of 2013, 2 payment institution licences were issued: UAB "WoraPay" that planned to offer the payment service - money transfers specified in Par. 6 of Article 5 of the Law on Payments of the Republic of Lithuania and to Mokėjimų Terminalų Sistemas UAB.

Income from payment services of the payment institutions in the first half of 2013 made up LTL 33.6 million and slightly increased (LTL 0.3 million) as compared with the equivalent period of the previous year. One payment institution (AB Lietuvos Paštas) in the second quarter of 2013 as well as in the previous reporting periods by the volume of rendered payment services represented a considerable portion of the entire payment system institutions. In the second quarter of 2013, its income from the payment services made up 43 per cent of the total income from payment services of

SEB

the payment institutions. Payment transactions turnover of this company within the recent 12 months made up 46 per cent of the total turnover of the payment institutions.

Compliance with prudential requirements

As of 1 January 2013, all payment institutions complied with the requirements for the initial capital and own funds established in the Law on Payment Institutions. As of 1 January 2013, the total amount of the own funds of payment institutions made LTL 138 million. In 2012, two payment institutions increased their authorized capital to enhance their own funds base.

Total own funds requirement (calculated by applying one Bank of Lithuania-approved method chosen by a payment institution) on the aforementioned date amounted to LTL 7.1 million (compared to the third quarter of 2012, for 5 payment institutions the amount specified above changed, driven by an increase in their activity volumes). Due to rather low volumes

of payment transactions and scarce other financial data used in calculating the amount of own funds requirement, the own funds requirement of 8 payment institutions did not exceed the amount established in the Law (EUR 20 thousand).

As of 1 July 2013, all payment institutions complied with the minimum own capital and own funds requirements established in the above-mentioned Law. As of 1 July 2013, own funds of the payment institutions amounted to LTL 135 million.

Independent auditor's report

To the shareholder of SEB Bank

We have audited the accompanying stand alone and consolidated financial statements (together "the Financial Statements") of SEB Bank ("the Bank") and its subsidiaries (collectively "the Group") set out on pages 23-102, which comprise the stand alone and consolidated statement of financial position as of 31 December 2011 and the stand alone and consolidated income statement, statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management's responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these Financial Statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Financial Statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements are free from material misstatement.

SEB

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including an assessment of the risks of material misstatements of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the Financial Statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Financial Statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Bank and the Group as of 31 December 2011, and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

- it is announced that, at the request of a third party or holders of the securities issued by the third party which are specified in item 16.14 of the Final Terms, the terms for fulfilment of obligations under, and/or for disposal of securities issued by the third party and listed in item 16.14 of the Final Terms are amended.

procedure is set on how and when information about an occurred enforcement event must be provided, specify this procedure)

16.13. terms and procedure for mandatory purchase

The Bank will, not later than within 4 (four) business days from the date of the relevant enforcement event (this date coincides with the date of announcement of the occurred enforcement event), mandatorily purchase the issue of these securities from investors. The Bank will settle accounts with the investors on the same day of the mandatory purchase. Account settlement for the structured notes being mandatorily purchased will take place according to the following procedure:

a) for one mandatorily purchased structured note, an investor will receive third party securities specified in item 16.14 of the Final Terms or the claim right to such securities, or other securities replacing such securities or the claim rights to them or any portion thereof. For one mandatorily purchased structured note, an investor will receive such number of securities of the third party that the total nominal value of mandatorily purchased structured note would be equal to the nominal value of securities of the third party transferred for one structured note purchased. If the third party concerned replaces its securities of a certain issue that are specified in the Final Terms with other securities issued by it before the date of the mandatory purchase and for this reason the Bank will not be able to transfer the securities of a certain issue that are specified in the Final Terms to an investor, the investor will be provided with securities that replace the securities of the third party and that are issued by the same third party for the structured notes being mandatorily purchased; the investor will receive such number of securities replacing the third party securities of a specific issue that are specified in the Final Terms that the investor would have received if, on the date of replacement of the securities, it disposed of the third party securities of a specific issue that are specified in the Final Terms received according to the aforementioned rule—that is, the number of third party securities that the investor must receive for each structured note must ensure that the nominal value of the structured note and the total nominal value of all the third party securities being transferred for the structured note be equal; and
