Nordea Pankki Suomi Oyj - Company Announcement

Nordea cuts its Prime rate and DepositRate in Finland

Nordea will cut its Prime rate by 0.10 percentage points to 1.05 per cent.
Nordea DepositRate will also be cut by 0.10 percentage points to 1.0 per cent.
These changes will become effective as of 1 June 2015.

Nordea applies the Prime rate as a reference rate both in deposits and in
housing loans. The popularity of Prime as the reference rate for housing loans
has steadily declined over the years. However, in deposits its position has
remained more stable.

Nordea DepositRate is a floating reference interest rate which follows the
market rates. The DepositRate is used as the reference rate for the
CurrentAccountPlus. The deposit interest payable on the account is calculated by
deducting the margin defined for the interest tiers of the account from the
deposit rate.

The value of the deposit rate is based on the market rates' performance, but it
is supposed to change slower than the market rates.

The rate cuts are based on the very low level of the market rates. The interest
rates were last cut on 1 April 2015.
