ACQUISITION OF MINORITY SHARES IN AKTIA REAL ESTATE MORTGAGE BANK BROUGHT
FORWARD 

Previously, Aktia Bank has given notification (8/10/2015) that the bank has
entered into an agreement to purchase the minority shareholders’ shares in the
bank’s subsidiary Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank plc. 
According to the agreement, the conveyance of shares was to take place at the
beginning of 2017. 

According to both the seller and the buyer, the measures planned at that time
to be completed before the conveyance of shares have, however, already now been
completed to a sufficient extent. 
And therefore the conveyance of shares has today been executed by the parties.

The transaction has no significant impact on Aktia’s capital adequacy or on the
result forecast for 2016.
