SpareBank 1 SMN has mandated DNB Markets and SpareBank 1 Markets to explore the opportunity to issue one or more dated subordinated Tier 2 bonds as well as a perpetual Additional Tier 1 bond. The Additional Tier 1 bond issue will amount up to NOK 200 million. The bond issues are subject to market conditions. The bond issues will have a first call option for the issuer after minimum 5 years, subject to an approval from the Norwegian FSA.

If an Additional Tier 1 bond issuance takes place, Sparebank 1 SMN will consider to buy-back a corresponding volume to the new issuance in the Additional Tier 1 bond issue, MIN68 (ISIN NO0010692494).

The potential bond issues and repurchase are approved by the Norwegian FSA and the bank's Supervisory Board.
