Company Announcement 13 - 2008 Correction: Two cases of bankruptcy do not affect Forstædernes Bank Today, the Danish daily paper Børsen reports that Forstædernes Bank is facing a loss of several million after two cases of bankruptcy. This is incorrect. The two cases of bankruptcy are allegedly Renneberg ApS and Administrationsselskabet af 1957. Referring to the above, Forstædernes Bank should like to inform that • The Bank's past customer relationship with Renneberg ApS has been fully settled. • The customer relationship with Administrationsselskabet af 1957 has been fully written down as early as in the financial year 2007. Thus, if the obligations are discharged, Administrationsselskabet af 1957 can only affect the Bank's accounts positively, while Renneberg ApS will not affect the Bank's accounts at all.
