Rasmus Figenschou will be the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of DNB,
following Ida Lerner's announcement that she is leaving the bank and has
accepted a new job outside the Nordic region. Figenschou is coming from the role
of Group Executive Vice President of Corporate Banking Norway. He will be
replaced by Marianne Wik Sætre, who is currently DNB's senior executive in
Bergen.

"I would like to thank Ida for her fantastic efforts for DNB during the past 18
years, and wish her the very best of luck in her new job," says Group Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) Kjerstin Braathen.


Rasmus Figenschou will take up the position of CFO on 24 October.


"DNB is one of the leading companies in the Nordic region, and we help simplify
life for over 2 million personal customers and several hundred thousand
companies, and make them prosper. The fact that we play an important role in
society, and almost half of the profits are returned to society, says a great
deal about how meaningful I believe this mission is," says Figenschou.

The new Group Executive Vice President of Corporate Banking Norway, Marianne Wik
Sætre, is coming from the role of Executive Vice President in the personal
customer area, with responsibility for the regions in Norway. At the same time,
she has served as the bank's senior executive in Bergen, where DNB has over 2
500 employees from different areas. Marianne was previously head of Corporate
Banking's Western Norway region for DNB. She will take up the position on 18
August.


"I am very much looking forward to taking on this job. There is an amazing
creative power and drive among our corporate customers, and we are lucky to be
part of their journey and to enable entrepreneurs and business leaders
throughout the country to create value and workplaces," says Wik Sætre.


"I am very proud that we have such talented internal managers who can fill new
roles, and both Rasmus and Marianne are the best in their fields. I look forward
to working with them and the rest of the management team to further realise our
strategy and continue to create good customer experiences and build the best
bank for our country," says Braathen.
