APPENDIX 1: AUCTION TERMS

Bonds offered, amounts offered and auction schedule
Appendix 2 and 3 contain auction schedules, lists of bonds offered, expected amounts and settlement dates. The tables show whether Nykredit Realkredit A/S expects the bonds to be offered at auction.

Every morning at 09:00 CET in the auction period, the amounts offered on that particular day in the individual ISINs will be published at nykredit.com/ir under "Debt", where you can find information on the refinancing auctions.

Refinancing principles – ARMs
The Nykredit Group offers fixed-rate non-callable bullet covered bonds for interest rate adjustment of ARMs based on the "refinancing price" principle.

For interest rate adjustment at the refinancing price, the bonds are sold at one or more bond auctions. The price is fixed as a weighted average of the prices obtained at the auctions.

If the Nykredit Group finds that the amount of bonds offered at an auction is not sufficient to obtain a market-consistent price, the refinancing price will instead be based on the Consolidated Reference Price of the bond in question quoted on Nasdaq Copenhagen.

Refinancing principles – floating-rate loans
Floating-rate loans are refinanced at three stand-alone auctions.

• ISIN DK000953113-9 is non-callable and offered and settled at a price of 100.20. Based on the offer price, bids must be made in terms of the reference rate spread used for the regular coupon fixing.
  
  
• ISIN DK000953121-2 is non-callable and offered and settled at a price of 100.20. The mortgage bond has an interest rate cap of 1.00%. Based on the offer price, bids must be made in terms of the reference rate spread used for the regular coupon fixing.
  
  
• ISIN DK000952672-5 is callable at a price of 105.00. The mortgage bond has a cap of 1.50% and a reference rate spread at +0.25% used for the regular coupon fixing. Bids must be made in terms of price.
  
  

Credit ratings
All auctioned bonds issued through Capital Centre H are rated AAA by S&P.
All auctioned bonds issued through Capital Centre J are government-guaranteed and therefore not rated.

Bids
Bids for fixed-rate non-callable bullet covered bonds must be made in terms of amount and price. With respect to bonds maturing within 14 months, bids must be made in prices correct to three decimals. Other bids must be made correct to two decimals.

For all DKK-denominated bonds bids must be made in multiples of DKK 100,000, and for all EUR-denominated bonds in multiples of EUR 10,000.

More than one bid may be made in the same ISIN.

Type of auction
Mortgage bonds issued through Capital Centre H will be auctioned through Nasdaq Copenhagen’s auction submarket: 136 – CPH Auctions. Participants are stockbrokers and investors with access to the auction submarket at Nasdaq Copenhagen.

Bonds issued through Capital Centre J will be auctioned through Bloomberg’s auction system AUPD.
Market participants who do not already have access to this system should contact Nykredit Realkredit A/S, Group Treasury, prior to the auctions.

Allotment
As regards bonds for which bids are made in terms of price, bids above the cut-off price will be settled in full, and bids at the cut-off price may be accepted on a pro rata basis.

With respect to bonds for which bids are made in terms of reference rate spread, bids below the cut-off spread will be settled in full, and bids at the cut-off spread may be accepted on a pro rata basis.

All trades concluded will be published through Nasdaq Copenhagen.

Allotment at the auctions will take place as soon as possible, but not later than 10 minutes after closing.

Conditional offering of bonds with interest rate trigger
A condition of the final completion of a sale (allotment) of bonds offered with an interest rate trigger is that the yield-to-maturity of the bonds will not rise by more than 5 percentage points. Reference is made to the Danish Mortgage-Credit Loans and Mortgage-Credit Bonds etc. Act.

Value date
All bonds will be subject to long settlement. The value date of all trades executed at the auctions will be 1st July 2021.

Reverse facility
As the bonds traded will be subject to long settlement, Nykredit Realkredit A/S offers a reverse facility to auction participants whose bids have been accepted and who require the bonds after only two days.

By means of the reverse facility, Nykredit Realkredit A/S offers to sell the allotted bonds subject to the conventional two settlement days and subsequently repurchase them with 1st July 2021 as the value date.

The size of the reverse facility will be determined on an individual basis but cannot exceed the amount allotted to each individual bidder. The reverse facility can be made conditional on the investor providing a corresponding amount of bonds maturing on 1st July 2021.

Reverse facilities will be arranged on an individual basis. Please contact Nykredit Realkredit A/S, Group Treasury, Anders Madsen, tel +45 44 55 11 65.
