EVLI BANK PLC STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE JUNE 14, 2016, AT 5.00 PM

Evli Bank Plc's Board of Directors has decided on a new stock option plan

Pursuant to the authorization issued by the Annual General Meeting on March
8, 2016, Evli Bank Plc's Board of Directors has decided to grant stock options
to the key employees of the company and its subsidiaries.

The maximum total of stock options to be given is 233,000 and these confer
entitlement to subscribe a maximum total of 233,000 new Evli Bank Plc series B
shares. The stock options are to be marked with the code 2016. The stock options
will not be issued in the book entry system.

The stock options are granted for no consideration to key employees who are in
the service of or being recruited into the service of the Evli Group. In
deviation from shareholders' pre-emptive subscription, the options are granted
to key employees designated by the company's Board in order to increase the key
employees' commitment and work motivation. There is a good financial reason from
the company's perspective for granting stock options because the stock options
are designed to be a part of the incentive and commitment system for the Evli
Group's key employees.

The company's Board decides upon the distribution of stock options to the Evli
Group's key employees. The Board also decides upon the redistribution of any
stock options that may later be returned.

Each  stock option entitles  its holder to  subscribe one (1)  new Evli Bank Plc
series  B share. The share subscription  period starts on June 1, 2020, and ends
on   August  31, 2020. The  subscription  price  corresponds  to  30% above  the
company's  volume weighted  share price  during thirty  (30) days trading period
from June 15, 2016 to July 14, 2016 at Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd.

The  subscription price of  a share subscribed  with a stock  option may be less
under special cases referred to under item 8. However, the subscription price of
a  share subscribed for  with a stock  option is always  at least EUR 80% of the
thirty-day  average  rate  that  formed  the  original  subscription  price. The
subscription  price of the shares is entered  in full in the unrestricted equity
fund.

The Terms and Conditions of Evli Bank Plc's Option Program 2016 are attached to
this release.
