The first quarter of the year was strategically important and eventful for
Monobank. The merger with BRAbank and equity raise will solve the need for
additional equity capital. Furthermore, the quarter saw positive operational and
financial development with continued growth in net loans and interest income.

Overall, first quarter loans and advances to customers increased 7.6 per cent to
NOK 3 988 million (from 3 706 million in Q4'18) excluding provision for loan
losses and prepaid agency commissions. Net interest income for the quarter was
NOK 100.2 million, an increase of 5.4 per cent compared to the previous quarter
(95.1 million). Net profit after tax ended at NOK 16.1 million and the return on
equity was 10.1 per cent.

The proposed merger with BRAbank was approved by the AGM on 20 March. The
transaction will create a well-capitalized and well-positioned bank with
significant growth ambitions in the Nordic consumer finance market and exploit
the significant scalability in Monobank's business model.

The multi country platform that was connected to the deposit provider Raisin in
the first quarter 2018 was expanded to Sweden this quarter as Monobank
successfully launched its consumer lending activities in the Country. The
expansion fits well with BRAbank's current presence in the Swedish consumer
credits market.

"It has been a very exiting quarter for Monobank and a strong foundation has
been laid for a positive development going forward. The proposed merger with
BRAbank will solve our need for additional capital and we are now fully financed
to reach our ambitious financial targets. We continue to deliver on our growth
strategy and our entrance into Sweden has been successful", says Bent Gjendem,
CEO of Monobank ASA.
