INFORMATION CONCERNING THE ISSUER Article D. 213-9, II, 2 of the Code monétaire et f inancier and Article 2, I et II du 3 of the Amended Order (arrêté) of 13 February 1992 and all subsequent amendments. 2.1 Legal name: JYSKE BANK A/S 2.2 Legal form / status: The Issuer is incorporated in Denmark as a commercial bank in the legal form of a limited liability company and is regulated by the consolidated Act on Financial Business 948 of 02/07/2013. as amended of the Kingdom of Denmark ("The Financial Business Act") 2.3 Date of incorporation/establishment: 7 th July 1967 2.4 Registered office: JYSKE BANK A/S Registered Office: Vestergade 8-16 8600 Silkeborg DENMARK 2.5 Registration number, place of registration: The Issuer is registered with the Danish Commerce and Companies Agency (Erhvervs- og Selskabsstyrelsen) under number CVR 17616617. 2.6 Company s purpose: According to article one of the Articles of Association, the objective of Jyske Bank A/S is to act as a bank and carry out related financial services either directly through Jyske Bank A/S or through its subsidiaries. 2.7 Summarised description of current activities: (I and II of 3 of Article 2 of the Amended Order (arrêté) of 13 February 1992) Jyske Bank ( the Bank ) was established as a public limited company on 7 th July 1967 under the Danish Companies Act and Bank Act and is registered with the Danish Commerce and Companies Agency (Erhvervs- og Selskabsstyrelsen), under number CVR 17616617. The Bank s incorporation followed the merger of four banks tracing their roots back to the mid-1850s. Through further mergers the Bank achieved nationwide retail branch coverage in the 1980s. During the post financial crisis years Jyske Bank strengthened its market position in Denmark by acquiring smaller bank lending portfolios, such as the leasing activities of Finans Nord A/S and Easyfleet A/S and the purchase of the profitable parts of Fjordbank Mors from the Financial Stability Cooperation in 2011. In 2013 Jyske Bank acquired all of the small regional bank Spar Lolland A/S banking activities. In 2012, Jyske Bank and BRFkredit signed an agreement on joint funding. The agreement gave Jyske Bank access to cost efficient long-term financing of the residential bank loan products Jyske Prioritet home loans granted on the basis of collateral in the homeowner s house, through the issue of Danish mortgage bonds ( SDO ) by BRFkredit. In 2014 the Group took the largest step in its corporate history to strengthen the market position by merging with BRFkredit. The purchase price for all shares in BRFkredit was determined at DKK 7.1bn, of which DKK 100m was paid in cash and the rest by issuance of new shares in Jyske Bank to BRF Holding A/S which became the largest shareholder in Jyske Bank A/S with an ownership stake of 25 per cent. The merger doubled the size of the balance sheet of the Group and tripled its lending portfolio. 17
Furthermore it improved diversification of the balance sheet thereby lowering the risk profile for the total earnings. BRFkredit s activities date back to 1959. The main activity of BRFkredit is mortgage lending secured against real property in Denmark. During 2014, Jyske Bank divested two non-core activities, selling (i) its wholly owned subsidiary Silkeborg Data A/S, a leading provider of payroll and staff administration systems to the public sector, and (ii) its 60 per cent. stake in the investment company, Berben s Effectenkantoor B.V., in the Netherlands. In February 2015, Jyske Bank and Nykredit entered into an agreement on the specific terms and conditions for Jyske Bank s exit from the Totalkredit cooperation, including sale of the Jyske Bank s shares in Pengeinstitutternes Realkreditselskab A/S ( PRAS ). PRAS is a company that owns shares in Nykredit Holding A/S and DLR Kredit A/S. Strategy and scope of business With total assets of DKK 542 billion the Jyske Bank Group (the Group) is the fourth largest financial service group in Denmark. The mother company Jyske Bank A/S is Denmark s third largest bank. As at end of December 2014 the Group had 4,191 full time employees. The merger with the Danish mortgage institution BRFkredit on 30 April 2014 strengthened the position of the Group on the Danish market adding a market share of 8 % of aggregate Danish mortgage lending in addition to Jyske Bank s existing market share of around 8 % of bank lending and 8 % of bank deposit taking. The merger increased the diversification in the credit portfolio leading to a more balanced split between the SME/corporate sector and the private individuals/residential sector in the overall Group profile, which is expected to underpin stability in future earnings. The Jyske Bank Group has a strong nationwide market presence and an extensive distribution platform with 101 branches focusing on retail clients, 34 branches specialized in SME and corporate clients and nine private banking branches throughout Denmark. Both Jyske Bank A/S as well as the subsidiary BRFkredit a/s are Danish SIFIs. With a CET1 ratio of 15.3 % as per 31 December 2014 the Jyske Bank Group is strongly capitalized and already compliant with the fully loaded CET1 requirements of the CRD IV and the Danish SIFI regulation. The Group remains well positioned for organic growth as well as to continue being a strong player in the consolidation in the Danish banking sector via select acquisitions. Jyske Bank has recently expanded the product line with competitively priced, collateralized home loans as part of the strategic focus to become the preferred bank of the Danish houseowners. The Jyske Bank Group has 3 core business lines: The Jyske Bank Group, Banking activities Retail and commercial Banking in Denmark focusing primarily on Danish individuals, families, SMEs, as well as local and regional public institutions and state institutions. Customers are serviced via the nationwide branch network and via the Internet and mobile phone banking platforms.

Risk management The Group assumes financial risks within established limits and to the extent the risk-adjusted return contributes to the Group s financial goal, but to the greatest possible extent the Group attempts to minimise financial risks considering the related costs. Risk management is a key element in the Group s daily operations and is anchored in the Group Supervisory Board and the Group Executive Board. The total risks are always adjusted to the Group s risk profile and capital structure according to the Group s capital management objective. The largest financial risks related to the Group s operations are credit risks which mainly arise from credit granting, market risks dominantly in the form of interest-rate risk and finally liquidity risk arises as an integrated part of the banking activities, and the role of maturity transformation. In addition to these risks the Group s activities also involve counterparty risk related to trading of derivatives and operational and business risks driven by the general activities and operations of the Group. Risk Management organization The Group Supervisory Board lays down the general principles for risk and capital management as well as for the Group s risk profile, and implements these in the Group by adopting a number of risk policies and instructions. Together with the Group Executive Board, the Group Supervisory Board is responsible for ensuring that the Group has an organisational structure that will secure a distinct allocation of responsibility and include an appropriate separation of functions between development units, operating units and control units in the daily monitoring and management of the Group s risks. The Group Executive Board is responsible for the day-to-day risk management and the management of the Group and will ensure that policies and instructions are operationalised and complied with. The Group Executive Board has appointed a group chief risk officer, who is the director of the Finance and Risk Management. The responsibilities of the unit include activities involving risks across areas of risk and organisational units. To achieve efficient risk management close to the mortgage-credit business, the Group has appointed a risk officer at BRFkredit. The risk officer and his employees form an integral part of the unit Finance and Risk Management to ensure that the group chief risk officer has a complete overview of the entire Group s risks. The organisational structure of the Group, ensures that the unit Finance and Risk Management is separated from the risk-taking units and remains independent of business-oriented activities. Credit Risk Management Both Jyske Bank and BRFkredit are approved by the Danish FSA as advanced financial institutions under the CRDIV Directive and use Advanced Internal Ratings Based ( AIRB ) models for the calculation of the capital base requirements for credit risk. Jyske Bank s Group Supervisory Board lays down the overall guidelines for credit granting within the Group, and the largest exposures are presented to the Group Supervisory Board for approval. The Group Supervisory Board delegates limits to the members of the Group Executive Board. Credit risk is managed through Jyske Bank s credit policy, of which the objective is to keep the Group credit risk at an acceptable level in relation to the capital base and business volume of the Group, given the general trend in the Danish economy. Client transactions with the Group must generate a satisfactory long-term return according to other Risk Adjustment Return on Capital ( RAROC ) principles. Specific credit policies have been formulated for all areas in which the Group assumes credit risk, and credit risk levels and undesirable types of business have been identified. The policies are regularly adjusted to meet current requirements and adapted to the management tools available to account managers and the monitoring functions. Credit risk is managed on the basis of the Group s credit risk models. Day-to-day management of credit risk is undertaken by account managers as well as the Credit Unit ( Credits ) with due regard to credit policies and credit instructions. Limits are delegated to account managers individually on the basis of perceived competence and need. Decisions about applications over and above the limits delegated to account managers are made by Credits. Credit-related decisions relating to Credit s limits are made by the Group Executive Board for credit cases at Jyske Bank A/S, whereas the Supervisory Boards for the individual subsidiaries authorise cases involving clients of the subsidiaries. 20
Credit exposures are quantified by means of exposure at default ( EAD ). EAD reflects the exposure at default in the event of the client defaulting in the course of the next twelve months. A client s overall EAD depends on client-specific factors and the specific products held by the client. For most product types, EAD is calculated on the basis of statistical models, while a few product types are based on expert models. Market risk management The Group uses the standardised approach for calculation of the capital base requirements for market risk under the CRD IV Directive. Market risk is the risk that the Group will incur losses arising from position-taking in the financial markets or from the general banking and mortgage banking operations. The dominant market risk component is interest rate risk, caused by changes in market interest rates. In addition the Group also faces exchange rate risk, equity risk and commodity risk caused by changes in exchange rates, equity prices or commodity prices as well as volatility risk caused by changes in volatility levels. Every risk type has its own characteristics and is managed by means of individual risk measurements as well as through the Group s Value-at-Risk model and supplemented by risk measurements developed in accordance with conventional option theory, i.e. by calculating the delta, gamma and vega risks of the positions. All risk positions are monitored daily. Operational Risk Management The Group uses the standardised approach for calculation of the capital base requirements for operational risk under the CRD IV Directive. Operational risk relates to all internal processes such as the risk of Jyske Bank being exposed to potential losses as a result of inexpedient processes, human errors, IT errors as well as fraud. Operational risk can therefore not be eliminated, yet attempts are made to minimise this risk. The Group monitors and actively manages operational risk through a system of comprehensive policies and controls to reduce the risk of operational events resulting in material loss and damage to reputation. Operational risk management also includes business recovery planning and backup of data and software in case of possible breakdown of IT systems, power supply disruption etc. The most vital business contingency plans are updated and tested frequently. Liquidity Risk ManagementLiquidity risk occurs due to funding mismatch in the balance sheet. The Group s liquidity risk can primarily be attributed to its bank lending activities as the Group s bank loan portfolio has a longer contractual duration than its average funding sources. The liquidity risk at BRFkredit is very limited as the liquidity flow at BRFkredit takes place predominantly in a closed circuit linked to the balance principle and the statutory protection of SDOs. Jyske Bank s liquidity management must ensure adequate short and long-term liquidity so the Group can in due time honour its payment obligations by having reasonable funding costs. This is ensured through the following sub-objectives and policies: 1. a strong and stable deposit basis which ensures stable long-term funding of the Group s lending activities; 2. continued high credit ratings by international rating agencies; 3. active participation in the international money markets and permanent access to international capital markets through capital market programmes which give access to a diversified and professional funding base; and 4. maintenance of a considerable buffer of highly liquid securities reflecting the run-off risk of more volatile price and credit sensitive funding sources. The liquidity buffer ensures that Jyske Bank can eliminate the effect of an adverse liquidity situation. In line with the guidelines from the Basel Committee the Group s liquidity risk management is based on flow analysis, integration of stress tests in the limit structure and liquidity contingency planning. The Group s principles for liquidity risk management are under constant development. During 2015 the focus is on recalibrating the Groups liquidity buffer to the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR). As a Danish SIFI the Group must be 100 % compliant with the LCR as per 1 October 2015. 21
Capital Management & capital ratios The objective of capital management is to optimise the Group s capital structure given the adopted risk profile, and to maintain a solvency ratio sufficient for the Group to continue its lending activities during a period of difficult business conditions. The capital adequacy is assessed on the basis of both internal and statutory capital base requirements. The Group must fulfil the minimum regulatory capital base requirements which are set according to the risk types of credit, market and operational risk. Furthermore the Group must fulfil the individual solvency requirement, the Pillar II requirement. The Pillar II requirement for Jyske Bank is determined as the higher of the requirements based on Jyske Bank s internally calculated adequate capital base (according to the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process ( ICAAP )) and the adequate capital base according to the Danish FSA s 8+ method as well as statutory limits. At end-2014, the Group determined an individual solvency requirement of 10.9 per cent., that is a Pillar II requirement of 2.9 per cent. (10.9 per cent. 8 per cent. minimum Pillar I requirement) equalling the solvency requirement according to the method of internal calculation (ICAAP). Capital management objectives and capital structure From 1 January 2014 the Group must comply with the capital requirement regulations, CRR, and CRD IV, which phase in tighter capital base requirements over the coming years. Jyske Bank is designated Danish SIFI, which entails the gradual phasing in of a 1.5 per cent. SIFI supplement to the capital base requirement that reflects the Group s systemic importance. The below graph illustrates an estimate of the fully loaded CRD IV and SIFI requirements by 2019 (total capital ratio as well as CET1 requirements) assuming both a 2.5 per cent. capital conservation buffer as well as a 2.5 per cent. countercyclical buffer, and a Pillar II of 2.9 per cent. (in line with the requirement as of end 2014 2 ) compared to the current capital levels as at end 2014. The countercyclical capital buffer has by the Danish FSA been set at 0 per cent. for 2015 and 2016. Jyske Bank s long-term capital management objective is a total capital ratio of 17.5 per cent. and a CET1 ratio of 14 per cent. Jyske Bank s large proportion of CET1 capital cements the quality of the total capital and provides a substantial buffer for the maximum sustainable loss that can be incurred without the need for additional capital. 2 Pillar II is not statutory but institution specific. It is dynamic and must be calculated and published on a quarterly basis. The Group has estimated that the requirement will be in the range of 1.5 per cent. to 3 5 per cent. over the coming years. 22
