On 2 December 2009, Jyske Bank completed its rights issue. The issue was fully subscribed including the usual technical rounding up of less than 0.14% subscribed under the guarantees and commitments provided. A total of 10,800,000 new shares at the nominal value of DKK 10 were subscribed corresponding to gross proceeds of DKK 1,188m. After deduction of costs in connection with the issue, the Bank expects net proceeds of DKK 1,139m. Based on Jyske Bank's capital adequacy position at 30 September 2009, the rights issue will increase Jyske Bank core capital ratio excluding hybrid capital from 10.9 to 12.1, the core capital ratio including hybrid capital will increase from 12.6 to 13.8, and the solvency ratio will increase from 14.4 to 15.6. The Bank's hybrid core capital is perpetual and without step-up. The first step-up for the Bank's supplementary capital will be in 2013. The capital increase is expected to be registered at the Danish Commerce and Companies Agency on 7 December 2009. As mentioned in the Prospectus, the issue can be withdrawn until registration, under certain exceptional and/or unpredictable circumstances. The new Jyske Bank shares are expected to be given the same security code as the existing shares at NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen on 10 December 2009. After registration of the capital increase, Jyske Bank's total share capital will be DKK 648m (nominal value), represented by 64.8 million shares with a nominal value of DKK 10. The new shares have the same rights attached to them as Jyske Bank's existing shares. The new shares will be registered in the names of the holders in the bank's register of shareholders and will be issued and registered at VP Securities A/S. The new shares are negotiable and freely transferable. No special rights are attached to any shares, the new shares included. The rights attached to the new shares, including the voting right and the right to receive a dividend, will apply from the time when the capital increase was registered at the Danish Companies and Commerce Agency. Handelsbanken Capital Markets acted as Jyske Bank's financial adviser in connection with the issue, and Handelsbanken Capital Markets and J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd. acted as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners for the issue.
