Changes In The Copenhagen Stock Exchange's Indices

Date 21/11/2000

The merger between Danske Bank A/S and RealDanmark A/S will be implemented in the indices of the Copenhagen Stock Exchange as from tomorrow Wednesday 22 November 2000.

Danske Bank has decided to increase its listed capital with effect from tomorrow by the number of shares that the bank will pay in connection with the exchange of shares in RealDanmark.

However, the final (legal) realisation of the merger will not take place until the spring of next year.

To avoid double counting in connection with the increase of the share capital in Danske Bank, the RealDanmark shares will be removed from the Exchange's index calculations with effect from tomorrow, even though the shares are still listed.
