Kristian Tafjord will assume the role of CFO on January 1, 2026, taking over
from John Arne Winsnes who resigned earlier this autumn.

Tafjord comes from the position as Chief Economist at Sparebanken Møre and has a
background as an economist with a specialization in macroeconomics and monetary
policy from the University of Oslo. After his studies, he worked for six years
at Norges Bank, including as an analyst and FX-trader. In addition, he has
several years of experience from the advisory and investment company Converto,
before joining Sparebanken Møre in 2023.

Since this autumn, Sparebanken Møre has conducted a thorough process to find the
bank's new CFO, considering both internal and external candidates.

- Kristian is a competent and strong resource with solid economic and financial
expertise. He has in-dept knowledge of the bank, is highly analytical, and has a
strategic perspective. Through his role as Chief Economist, he has become well
acquainted with the bank and gained valuable insight into the industries of the
region. We are very pleased that Kristian is now stepping into the role of CFO,
says Trond Lars Nydal, CEO of Sparebanken Møre.

In his new role, Tafjord can combine his experience from banking and finance
while continuing to contribute to the bank's development and position in the
region.

- Sparebanken Møre is a solid organization with many skilled professionals who
show a strong commitment to its customers and its surrounding society. We have a
strong position in the northwestern part of Norway, and I look forward to
contributing to the continued development and growth of Sparebanken Møre, says
Kristian Tafjord.

Sparebanken Møre is the largest bank in the northwest of Norway, with over 400
employees and offices throughout the region as well as in Oslo. The bank is an
independent and alliance-free savings bank, aiming to be a driving force for
creative enthusiasm and sustainable development in the region. The bank offers a
wide range of products and services for retail and corporate customers and has
total assets of over NOK 100 billion.
