Taxation All payments in respect of the Notes will be made without withholding or deduction for taxes imposed by Denmark. In the event that any such deduction is made, the Issuer will, save in certain limited circumstances, be required to pay additional amounts to cover the amounts so deducted. If any such additional amounts become payable and cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it, the Issuer may redeem the Notes early by payment of the early redemption amount in respect of each calculation amount. Negative pledge and cross default The terms of the Notes will not have the benefit of a negative pledge or a cross-default. Events of default The terms of the Notes will contain, amongst others, the following events of default: (i) default in payment of any principal or interest due in respect of the Notes, continuing for a period of 5 days after the date on which notice has been given to the Issuer; (ii) default in the performance or observance of any other obligation of the Issuer under the Notes and such default remains unremedied for 30 days after notice requiring remedy has been given to the Issuer; (iii) a legal process is levied or enforced or sued out upon or against any part of the assets of the Issuer which is material in its effect upon the operation of the Issuer and is not discharged or stayed within 60 days of having been so levied, enforced or sued out, (iv) events relating to the bankruptcy of the Issuer; and (v) the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority files a petition for the suspension of payments of the Issuer.

The rate of interest in respect of interest period falling during the period from (but excluding) 20 June 2020 to (and including) 20 June 2023 will be calculated by reference to the following formula: Max [Floor; (Leverage x Relevant Rate) + Margin] For the purposes of the above: Reference Item means 3 months SEK STIBOR. Relevant Rate means, in respect of the relevant interest determination date for an interest period, the underlying rate of the Reference Item for such interest determination date. "Floor" = 0.00% "Leverage" = % "Margin" = INDICATIVELY 2.00 % (to be determined by the Issuer no later than on the Issue Date, subject to a minimum of 1.50%) Interest, if any, will be paid quarterly in arrear on 9 October 2018, 9 January 2019, 9 April 2019, 9 July 2019, 9 October 2019, 9 January 2020, 9 April 2020, 9 July 2020, 9 October 2020, 9 January 2021, 9 April 2021, 9 July 2021, 9 October 2021, 9 January 2022, 9 April 2022, 9 July 2022, 9 October 2022, 9 January 2023, 9 April 2023 and 9 July See Taxation and Events of Default in Element C.8 above for information on early redemption in relation to the Notes.

In the circumstances specified above, the early redemption amount payable on any such early redemption of the Notes will be an amount determined by the Calculation Agent which represents the fair market value of each calculation amount of the Notes on a day selected by the Issuer (in the case of an early redemption following an illegality, ignoring the relevant 20

21 C.10 Derivative component of the interest payment C.11 Admission to trading illegality), but adjusted (except in the case of an early redemption following an event of default) to account for losses, expenses and costs to the Issuer and/ or its affiliates of unwinding any hedging and funding arrangements in respect of the Notes, provided that, for the purposes of determining the fair market value of each calculation amount of the Notes following an event of default, no account shall be taken of the financial condition of the Issuer which shall be presumed to be able to perform fully its obligations in respect of the Notes. Redemption at maturity Unless previously redeemed or purchased and cancelled, the Notes will be redeemed at their Final Redemption Amount on the maturity date. The maturity date is 9 July Interest payable in respect of Floored Floating Rate Notes is subject to a Floor and, therefore, where the Relevant Rate is less than the Floor, investors will not participate in the decrease in the Relevant Rate below such Floor. Adjustments The terms and conditions of the Notes contain provisions, as applicable, relating to non-publication of the Reference Item and details of the consequences of such events. Such provisions may permit the Calculation Agent to obtain quotations from dealers in the relevant market or use underlying rates for a previous interest period.

There is a wide range of factors which individually or together could result in the Issuer becoming unable to make all payments due in respect of the 24

25 D.6 Key information on key risks specific to the Notes Notes. It is not possible to identify all such factors or to determine which factors are most likely to occur, as the Issuer may not be aware of all relevant factors and certain factors which it currently deems not to be material may become material as a result of the occurrence of events outside the Issuer s control. The Issuer has identified in the Base Prospectus a number of factors which could materially adversely affect its business and ability to make payments due under the Notes. These factors include: the Group is exposed to a number of risks, the categories of which are credit risk, counterparty credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, insurance risk, and pension risk; regulatory changes could materially affect the Issuer s business; the Issuer will face increased capital and liquidity requirements as a result of the framework implementing, among other things, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision s proposals imposing stricter capital and liquidity requirements upon banks in the EU; the implementation of a bank recovery and resolution directive or the taking any action under it could materially affect the value of any Notes; the Group may have to pay additional amounts under deposit guarantee schemes or resolution funds; and the Group may be affected by general economic and geopolitical conditions. The Issuer believes that the factors summarised below represent the principal risks inherent in investing in the Notes, but the Issuer may be unable to pay amounts on or in connection with any Notes for other reasons which may not be considered significant risks by the Issuer based on information currently available to it and which it may not currently be able to anticipate. Notes may involve a high degree of risk. There are certain factors which are material for the purpose of assessing the market risks associated with investing in the Notes, which include, without limitation, the following: an active secondary market in respect of the Notes may never be established or may illiquid and this would adversely affect the value at which an investor could sell its Notes, if an investor holds Notes which are not denominated in the investor s home currency, it will be exposed to movements in exchange rates adversely affecting the value of its holding and the imposition of exchange controls could result in an investor not receiving payment on those Notes, the market value of the Notes will be affected by a number of factors independent of the creditworthiness of the Issuer, credit ratings assigned to the Issuer may not reflect all the risks associated with an investment in the Notes, the Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors, because the VP Systems Notes are dematerialised securities, investors will have to rely on the clearing system procedures for transfer, payment and communication with the Issuer, taxes and expenses may be payable by holders in connection with the Notes, taxes and expenses may be payable by holders in connection with the Notes, U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act withholding may affect payments on the Notes, the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act withholding may affect payments on the Notes, the proposed financial transactions tax may apply in respect of certain dealings in Notes, reforms to benchmarks could have an effect on the Notes; the Terms and Conditions of the Notes contain provisions which may permit their modification without the consent of all investors, the value of the Notes could be adversely affected by a change in applicable laws or administrative practice, the Issuer has issued covered bonds and if any relevant claims in respect of these covered bonds are not met out of the pool of assets or the proceeds arising from it, any remaining claims will subsequently rank pari passu with the Issuer s obligations under the Notes. 25
