Mandatum Life to sell an insurance portfolio to Danske Bank

On 20 October 2016 Mandatum Life disclosed its decision not to prolong the
existing agency agreement with Danske Bank as of 31 December 2016. The company
also communicated that it would by the end of October 2016 decide whether it
uses its right to sell the insurance portfolio sold through Danske Bank's branch
network in Finland, to Danske Bank.

Mandatum Life has today decided to exercise the option and sell the portfolio to
Danske Bank. The process is expected to be finalized during 2017.
