Regulatory News:

Pursuant to the conversion clause set forth in Swedbank AB’s (“Swedbank”)(STO:SWEDA)(LSE:SWK)(Pink Sheets:SWDBF) articles of association the Board of Directors has today resolved to convert all preference shares into ordinary shares.

Time plan

March 27 Last day of trading in preference shares

April 5 Record date for conversion of preference shares into ordinary shares

April 8 Euroclear registration date of new ordinary shares

Trading in preference shares is not possible from and including March 28 until new ordinary shares have been received, which normally is the date of registration with Euroclear.

Registration of the conversion with the Swedish Companies Registration office is expected before the end of March. Following the conversion Swedbank will only have ordinary shares issued. The total number of shares will be unchanged and amount to 1,132,005,722.

Conversion of preference shares into ordinary shares through mandatory conversion pursuant to the terms of the articles of association is not regarded as a taxable sale according to an advance tax ruling decided by the Swedish Council for Advance Tax Rulings on November 7, 2008, which was upheld by the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court in a judgment on May 14, 2009. Consequently, ordinary shares which are received pursuant to the mandatory conversion are deemed to have been acquired at the same time and for the same acquisition cost as the preference shares.
