SUMMONS FOR A WRITTEN RESOLUTION

Nordic Trustee AS (the "Bond Trustee") acts as bond trustee for the bondholders (the "Bondholders") in the above-mentioned bond issue (the "Bonds" or the "Bond Issue") issued by Totens Sparebank Boligkreditt AS, as issuer (the "Issuer") pursuant to the bond terms dated 6 May 2022 (as amended) (the "Bond Terms").

All capitalised terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the same meaning assigned to them in the Bond Terms. References to Clauses and paragraphs are references to Clauses and paragraphs of the Bond Terms.

The information in this summons (the "Summons") regarding the Issuer, market conditions and described transactions is provided by the Issuer, and the Bond Trustee expressly disclaims all liability whatsoever related to such information.

Totens Sparebank Boligkreditt AS is owned 100% by Totens Sparebank. Totens Sparebank has merged with SpareBank 1 Østlandet on the 1st. of November 2024. SpareBank 1 Østlandet wish to dissolve Toten Sparebank Boligkreditt AS in effort to streamline the debt structure and reduce administrative and reporting burdens. SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt is and will be the preferred issuer of covered bonds for SpareBank 1 Østlandet going forward. In order to accelerate the process SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS has offered to take over the remaining liabilities for the outstanding covered Bonds issued by Totens Sparebank Boligkreditt AS. The Bonds will have the same commercial and legal conditions as agreed in its respective Bond Terms, but with SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt AS as issuer and debtor for the remaining maturity.
