On 30 November 2020 the general meetings of DNB ASA and DNB Bank ASA resolved to
merge the companies with DNB Bank ASA as the surviving entity. DNB Bank ASA will
be the new holding company in the DNB Group following the merger, and all
outstanding shares of the company will be admitted to trading on the Oslo Stock
Exchange.

The merger will be implemented after close of trading on the Oslo Stock Exchange
on 1 July 2021. The shares issued by DNB ASA can be traded until close of
trading on this date. Shareholders in DNB ASA at the time of implementation of
the merger, as registered in the Norwegian Securities Register (VPS) on 5 July
2021, will receive one share in DNB Bank ASA for each share held in DNB ASA.

Trading in the shares of DNB Bank ASA will commence on 2 July 2021. The shares
of DNB Bank ASA will from this date trade under the ticker "DNB", which is the
current ticker of DNB ASA, on ISIN NO 001 0161896.

DNB ASA will be traded under the ticker "DNBH" on the last two trading days
prior to implementation of the merger. Due to technical restrictions this is
necessary in order to facilitate that DNB Bank ASA can use the ticker "DNB"
permanently after completion of the merger.

The NewsWeb history of DNB ASA will continue to exist under the ticker "DNB",
while the history of DNB Bank ASA will continue under "DNB Bank ASA_old".

DNB Bank ASA has prepared and published an "Exempted Document" pursuant to the
prospectus regulation as part of the listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The
Exempted Document, which may be found on https://www.ir.dnb.no/press-and
-reports/ir-updates, is an information document that provides an overview of the
business and organisation of the DNB group. The Exempted Document is not a
prospectus and has not been reviewed or approved by the Financial Supervisory
Authority of Norway.
