Adjustment of OMX Helsinki Benchmark Gross Index due to dividend in Nordea Bank AB (04/09)

The new ordinary shares issued in Nordea Bank AB:s rights issue, ex-day March
13, 2009, do not entitle to the dividend of EUR 0.20 proposed to the Annual
General Meeting (AGM) which will be held April 2, 2009. In accordance to rule
5.3 in the “Rules for the Construction and Maintenance of the NOREX Exchanges'
Tradable, All-Share, Sector and Benchmark Indexes” these new shares are already
added to the OMX Helsinki Benchmark Gross index (OMXHBGI). 

Provided that the AGM accept the dividend proposal the OMXHBGI will be adjusted
to compensate for the difference in dividend payment, where only 20 out of 31
shares in Nordea Bank AB (NDA1V, FI0009902530) are entitled to dividend
payment. The dividend adjustment per Nordea share in the OMXHBGI will be
(20/31) * EUR 0.20, which equals EUR 0.129 per share. 

This adjustment is made in accordance with the “Rules for the Construction and
Maintenance of the NOREX Exchanges' Tradable, All-Share, Sector and Benchmark
Indexes” rule 5.1. For more information regarding Nordea Bank AB:s rights issue
