The Board of Directors of SpareBank 1 SMN has decided to continue the savings
scheme for employees in 2025, who are invited to buy equity certificates issued
by the bank.

All employees of the bank and its subsidiaries are invited to participate in the
savings programme. The object of the programme is to motivate employees to
become co-owners of the bank and the same time to increase interest in the
bank's strategy and results.

Employees commit themselves to a fixed savings amount for 2025 by enrolling in
the savings scheme in December 2024. For 2025 the bank offers a scheme enabling
employees to save either NOK 6,000, NOK 12,000, NOK 24,000 or NOK 36,000 per
year through a monthly salary deduction from January to December 2025. The
savings amount will be used to buy equity certificates in SpareBank 1 SMN on
behalf of the participating employees. The amounts are fixed for the year and
cannot be changed during the period of the programme.

The bank will aim to acquire the equity certificates in the day(s) following the
publication of 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarter results, and in December 2025. SpareBank
1 Markets will acquire the equity certificates on behalf of the bank. 

The equity certificates will be distributed to the employees as soon as possible
after the acquisition at the same price the bank paid in the open market without
any form of discount. Purchase price and number of equity certificates purchased
by the bank will be published in accordance with the current rules for trading
in own shares.

After 2 years of consecutive ownership of the equity certificates purchased in
the savings programme for 2025, all employees will receive one free equity
certificate for every two purchased under the programme.

The table below lists all primary insiders of SpareBank 1 SMN participating in
the savings programme for 2025. The amounts listed are total amounts for 2025.
Purchase price and number of equity certificates purchased by each primary
insider will be published after the completion of each transaction.
