This information is subject to the disclosure requirements according to Section 5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.

The new accounting rules for the recognition, measurement and presentation of insurance contracts (IFRS 17) became mandatory for the period beginning on 1 January 2023, with requirements for comparable figures for 2022. The DNB Group will report in accordance with IFRS 17 as of the first quarter of 2023. At the same time, the DNB Group will change classification of some financial instruments under IFRS 9.

There are no changes in the underlying business model, operations or strategy as a result of the introduction of IFRS 17. The transition to IFRS 17 does not affect the DNB Group's common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital, and thus does not affect the Group's capital adequacy, leverage ratio, minimum distributable amount (MDA) or dividend capacity.

The new IFRS 17 rules entail a new measurement method for the Group's life insurance liabilities, whereby estimated future cashflows in the insurance contracts will be discounted using a market-based interest rate. This affects the transition effect as at 1 January 2022, recognised liabilities and future profit and loss. There will also be a change from the previous presentation of the income statement, as operating expenses relating to insurance contracts under the new rules are included in net operating income in the income statement, whereas they were previously presented under operating expenses.

The IFRS 17 rules are effective only for the DNB Group accounts, which means that the rules are not being introduced in the company accounts for DNB Livsforsikring. The transition to IFRS 17 does therefore not affect DNB Livsforsikring's capitalisation, tax base or dividend capacity.

The full implementation effect of IFRS 17, as well as the effect of the changed measurement method for financial assets, has reduced the Group's equity at the time of the transition on 1 January 2022 with NOK 9 836 million after tax.

Certain investment contracts, including unit link contracts and defined contribution pension schemes, fall outside the scope of the IFRS 17 requirements and are assessed under the rules for financial instruments in IFRS 9.
