     be added in 2016.
  -- Covered bond offerings will be held every month.  Offerings will be held on
     the first Wednesday of every month and settlement will be one week later –

     The minimum offers at nominal value for benchmark series shall be ISK 80
     million and the minimum amount for other series shall be ISK 20 million.

Commercial paper

  -- Arion Bank will continue its monthly offerings of commercial papers. 
     Offerings will take place in mid-month and settlement is usually on the
     20th day of each month. The total issue of commercial papers is
     undetermined and will be dictated by market conditions.



EMTN and other funding

  -- The Bank intends to regularly issue abroad through its Euro Medium Term
     Note (EMTN) program.  The Bank will work towards gaining better access to
     the international markets in the future. However, issues in foreign
     currencies depend on the conditions on the market at any given time.
  -- Arion Bank plans to diversify its funding and will examine other funding
     options and add to its funding channels if it suits the Bank. The Bank may
     therefore issue unsecured bonds, subordinated bonds or covered bonds in
