Dear Sirs
Sydbank's rating upgraded to AA2 by Moody's
The rating agency, Moody's, has made an overall reassessment and upgrade of the
Nordic banks among others.
In this context Sydbank's long-term debt rating has been upgraded from A2 to
AA2. Sydbank's short-term rating of P-1 and financial strength of C+ remain
unchanged.
It is expected that the improved rating will have a favourable impact on the
Bank's funding.
Yours faithfully
Mogens Asmund
Group Executive Vice President
