A wholly owned subsidiary of DNB Bank ASA ("DNB"), DNB Baltic Invest AB, has entered into an agreement to divest its entire shareholding in Luminor Holding AS ("Luminor") to OTP Bank Plc. (the "Acquirer").

Luminor Holding AS is a regulated holding company owning 100% of the shares in Luminor Bank AS, a leading banking group in the Baltic region under the supervision of the European Central Bank (ECB).

Luminor was established in 2017 through the merger of the Baltic operations of Nordea Bank Abp and DNB Bank ASA ("DNB"). Since 2019, a consortium of private equity funds managed by Blackstone has held the majority ownership in Luminor, while DNB Baltic Invest AB has retained a 19.95% shareholding.

Transaction overview

Under the terms of the agreement, the Acquirer will acquire 100% of the shares in Luminor. DNB Baltic Invest AB will sell its entire shareholding. The transaction will be settled in cash at the closing date.

Completion of the transaction is subject to obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals.

Financial impact

Luminor is currently accounted for through the equity method in DNB’s financial statements. DNB will classify its investment in Luminor as held for sale from 20th July 2026 and expects to recognize an accounting loss of approximately NOK 1 billion in the third quarter of 2026 in connection with the classification as held for sale.

For the financial year 2025, Luminor contributed NOK 371 million to DNB’s net profit.

Upon completion of the transaction, DNB expects a positive effect on the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of approximately 20 basis points.

The final financial effects will depend on, among other factors, the final transaction price, closing adjustments and currency developments.

Strategic implications

The transaction represents the final step in DNB’s strategy to exit its customer-facing banking activities in the Baltic states.

“Since the establishment of Luminor in 2017 and the subsequent partnership with Blackstone, we have contributed to building a strong and independent banking platform in the Baltics. The transaction is expected to release capital and supports our continued focus on capital efficiency and disciplined allocation of resources,” says Rasmus Aage Figenschou, CFO of DNB.

DNB Bank ASA has decided to initiate a new share buy-back programme comprising up to 1.0 percent of the company’s own shares, which represents a total of 14,406,648 shares. The buy-back programme was adopted based on an authorisation given by the Annual General Meeting held on 21 April 2026. 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 4,755 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 approximately 0.4 percentage points.

Up to 0.66 percent of the company’s own shares, which equals 9,508,388 shares, will be bought back on trading venues, at a price of between NOK 10 and NOK 400 per share. The buy-backs will, at the latest, end on 16 October 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 0.34 percent of the shares – up to 4,898,260 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 9,508,388 own shares, which were repurchased earlier in 2026.
