internationally, particularly in the Nordic region. As part of our strategy to
be able to offer markets and products within our preferred sectors: energy,
offshore, shipping and the fishing industry, it is important to be a member of
the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. We look forward to an even closer relationship
with the Nordic Stock Exchange and the Danish market."

very happy that yet another of our members is increasing its direct presence on
the Nordic Stock Exchange, making it simpler for DnB NOR's customers to gain
