Stock and press releases

DNB Bank ASA has decided to initiate a new share buy-back programme comprising up to 0.5 percent of the company’s own shares, which represents a total of 7,388,024 shares. The buy-back programme was adopted based on an authorisation given by the Annual General Meeting held on 29 April 2025. The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway has approved the buy-back programme, on the condition that the total buy-backs do not reduce the company’s own funds by more than NOK 2,217 million.

The purpose of the buy-back programme is to optimise the company’s capital structure, by reducing the common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio by 0.2 percentage points.

Up to 0.33 percent of the company’s own shares, which equals 4,876,096 shares, will be bought back on trading venues, at a price of between NOK 10 and NOK 330 per share. The buy-backs will, at the latest, end on 20 March 2026. DNB Carnegie will manage the buy-backs on behalf of the company, and decide the timing of the purchases independently of the company. The shares that are purchased will be proposed cancelled at the next Annual General Meeting.  

The remaining 0.17 percent of the shares – up to 2,511,928 shares – will at the same Annual General Meeting be proposed redeemed from the Norwegian Government, represented by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries (“NFD”), so that NFD’s ownership interest of 34 percent remains unchanged. NFD’s shares will be redeemed at a price equal to the average price of the shares bought back on trading venues, with the addition of an interest compensation.

The buy-back programme will be carried out in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation and the regulation regarding buy-back programmes and stabilisation measures.

The company currently owns 19,504,384 own shares, which were repurchased in 2025 and earlier in 2026.

Reference is made to the stock exchange notice of 22 January 2026, where it was announced that DNB Bank ASA will separate the business area DNB Finans into a wholly owned subsidiary, which will be named DNB Finans AS. The separation will be carried out through three separate transactions. It was further announced that the first transaction had been completed, specifically that DNB Finans had been demerged into Godskipet 9 AS. At the same time, the share capital of DNB Bank ASA was reduced from NOK 18,470,062,312.50 to NOK 17,136,607,277.50.

The next transaction was completed on 24 January 2026. Specifically, Godskipet 9 AS was merged into Godskipet 8 AS. By the merger, the share capital of DNB Bank ASA was increased back to NOK 18,470,062,312.50, so that the total share capital remains unchanged by the transactions. The number of shares will remain 1,477,604,985. The capital reduction and subsequent capital increase were carried out to ensure that DNB Finans AS becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of DNB Bank ASA.

The only remaining step is the merger of Godskipet 8 AS into Eksportfinans AS, which is a credit institution with the required licenses to operate the business of DNB Finans. Eksportfinans AS will simultaneously change its name to DNB Finans AS. This merger is expected to be completed shortly.
