Landsbankinn hf.: Merger schedule of Landsbankinn and Sparisjóður Norðurlands approved

The Board of Directors of Landsbankinn hf. and the Board of Directors of
Sparisjóður Norðurlands have, on 30 June 2015, approved a merger schedule for
the two companies. 

A merger is subject to a legal process which takes four weeks at a minimum,
commencing with a formal advertisement. 

Subject to the approval of the relevant supervisory authorities and the
approval of a meeting of Sparisjóður Norðurlands' guarantee capital holders the
merger of the companies will be effected in August. Upon the merger, all assets
and obligations of the savings bank will be consolidated with those of
Landsbankinn and Landsbankinn will take over operation of all of the savings
bank's service points. On 9 June, uncertainties regarding the savings bank's
future prompted the Board of Directors of Sparisjóður Norðurlands to approach
Landsbankinn to gauge interest in the merger.
