The financial crisis has demonstrated that a robust financial sector is a must.
Nykredit therefore acknowledges the need to test the solvency of the European
banking system despite the challenges and restrictions implied by stress
testing across borders and national legislations. Consequently, the Nykredit
Realkredit Group has participated in the EBA's EU-wide stress test of the
financial sector over the past few months. 

Nykredit is already subject to stress testing in the form of internal stress
tests and the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority's stress testing of the
Danish financial sector. The EBA stress test is seen as a natural international
extension of this work, allowing Danish financial institutions to compare
themselves with foreign institutions. 

Nykredit is pleased to note that the Group passed the stress test with flying
colours. In the stress scenario, Nykredit's Core Tier 1 capital ratio (as
defined by the EBA) will be 9.4% at end-2012, by far exceeding the stress test
benchmark of 5%. At end-2010 Nykredit's Core Tier 1 capital ratio (as defined
by the EBA) was 8.8%. 

The stress test results should in no way be interpreted as Nykredit's forecast
of the development in impairment losses, results, total assets, etc. but as an
impact assessment given the scenarios, assumptions and calculation rules
defined by the EBA. 

Nykredit's test results are available at nykredit.com under Stock Exchange
Announcements.
