Covered Bond Programme
Under this 60,000,000,000 Covered Bond Programme (the "Programme"), DNB Boligkreditt AS (the "Issuer") may from time
to time issue covered bonds issued in accordance with Act No. 40 of 10 June 1988 on Financing Activity and Financial
Institutions, Chapter 2, Sub-Chapter IV and appurtenant regulations ("Covered Bonds") denominated in any currency agreed
between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer (as defined below).
Covered Bonds may be issued in bearer form ("Bearer Covered Bonds"), registered form ("Registered Covered Bonds") or
uncertificated and dematerialised book entry form cleared through the Norwegian Central Securities Depository, the
Verdipapirsentralen ("VPS"), VP Securities Services (Værdipapircentralen A/S), the Danish central securities depository ("VP"),
Nordic Central Securities Depository (NCSD Systems Aktiebolag), the Swedish central securities depository ("VPC") and/or any
other clearing system as may be specified in the applicable Final Terms (together the "VP Systems Covered Bonds").
The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Covered Bonds from time to time outstanding under the Programme will not
exceed 60,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies calculated as described herein). A description of the restrictions
applicable at the date of this Prospectus relating to the maturity of certain Covered Bonds is set out in "Summary ­ Maturities".
The Covered Bonds may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified under "Summary ­Dealers"
below and any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme from time to time, which appointment may be for a specific
issue or on an ongoing basis (each a "Dealer" and together the "Dealers"). References in this Prospectus to the "relevant
Dealer" shall, in the case of an issue of Covered Bonds being (or intended to be) subscribed by more than one Dealer, be to all
Dealers agreeing to subscribe such Covered Bonds.
Application has been made to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF") in its capacity as competent
authority under the Luxembourg Act dated 10th July, 2005 relating to prospectuses for securities (loi relative aux prospectus
pour valeurs mobilieres) for the approval of this document as a base prospectus for the purposes of Article 5.4 of Directive
2003/71/EC (the "Prospectus Directive") as amended (which includes the amendments made by Directive 2010/73/EU (the
"2010 PD Amending Directive") to the extent than such amendments have been implemented in a Member State of the
European Economic Area). The CSSF assumes no responsibility for the economic and financial soundness of the transactions
contemplated by this Base Prospectus or the quality or solvency of the Issuer in accordance with Article 7(7) of the Prospectus
Act 2005. Application has also been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Covered Bonds issued under the
Programme (other than VP Systems Covered Bonds) during the period of 12 months from the date of this Prospectus to be
admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market and to be listed on the Official List of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange. In addition, application has been made to register the Programme on the SIX Swiss Exchange.
Upon specific request, Covered Bonds (other than VP Systems Covered Bonds) issued under the Programme may then be
listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange. References in this Prospectus to Covered Bonds being "listed" (and all related references)
shall mean that such Covered Bonds are intended to be (i) admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated
market and are intended to be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or (ii) admitted to trading on the
standard for bonds of the SIX Swiss Exchange, as the case may be. The Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market is a
regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on markets in
financial instruments of 21 April 2004 (the "Markets in Financial Instruments Directive").
Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Covered Bonds, interest (if any) payable in respect of Covered Bonds, the issue
price of Covered Bonds and any other terms and conditions not contained herein which are applicable to each Tranche (as
defined under "Terms and Conditions of the Covered Bonds") of Covered Bonds will be set forth in a Final Terms document
("Final Terms") which, with respect to Covered Bonds to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, will be filed with the
CSSF or, with respect to Covered Bonds to be listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, will be delivered to the SIX Swiss Exchange.
The Programme provides that Covered Bonds may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or
further stock exchanges or markets as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer. The Issuer may also issue
Covered Bonds which are not listed or admitted to trading on any market.
The Covered Bonds issued under the Programme are expected to be assigned an "AAA" rating by Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("Standard & Poor's"), an "Aaa" rating by Moody's Investors Service
Limited ("Moody's") and an "AAA" rating by Fitch Ratings Limited ("Fitch"). However, the Issuer may also issue covered bonds
which are unrated or rated below "AAA" by Standard & Poor's, "Aaa" by Moody's and "AAA" by Fitch. Details of the ratings of
the Covered Bonds will be specified in the applicable Final Terms. Whether or not each credit rating applied for in relation to
relevant Tranches of Covered Bonds will be issued by a credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered
under Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 (as amended) (the "CRA Regulation") will be disclosed in the Final Terms. Please also
refer to "Ratings of the Covered Bonds" in the "Risk Factors" in this Prospectus. A security rating is not a recommendation to
buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating
agency.
The Issuer has been assigned an "A+" rating by Standard & Poor's and an "A+" rating by Fitch. Standard & Poor's and Fitch
are established in the European Union and are registered under the CRA Regulation. As such Standard & Poor's and Fitch are
included in the list of credit rating agencies published by the European Securities and Markets Authority on its website in
accordance with such Regulation.
The Issuer may agree with any Dealer that Covered Bonds may be issued in a form not contemplated by the Terms and
Conditions of the Covered Bonds herein, in which event a supplement to the Prospectus, if appropriate, will be made available
which will describe the effect of the agreement reached in relation to such Covered Bonds.

3

The Covered Bonds have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act,
and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of,
U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) except in accordance with
Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or pursuant
to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
The distribution of this Prospectus and the offer or sale of Covered Bonds may be
restricted by law in certain jurisdictions. None of the Issuer, the Dealers or the Arranger
represents that this document may be lawfully distributed, or that any Covered Bonds may be
lawfully offered, in compliance with any applicable registration or other requirements in any
such jurisdiction, or pursuant to an exemption available thereunder, or assume any
responsibility for facilitating any such distribution or offering. In particular, no action has been
taken by the Issuer, the Dealers or the Arranger which would permit a public offering of any
Covered Bonds outside Luxembourg or distribution of this document in any jurisdiction where
action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, no Covered Bonds may be offered or sold,
directly or indirectly, and neither this Prospectus nor any advertisement or other offering
material may be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that
will result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations and the Dealers have
represented that all offers and sales by them will be made on the same terms. Persons into
whose possession this Prospectus or any Covered Bonds come must inform themselves
about, and observe, any such restrictions. In particular, there are restrictions on the
distribution of this Prospectus and the offer or sale of Covered Bonds in the United States, the
European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark, The Netherlands and Japan
(see "Subscription and Sale" below).
The Bearer Covered Bonds of each Tranche (other than Swiss Domestic Covered
Bonds) will initially be represented by a temporary global Covered Bond in bearer form (a
"Temporary Bearer Global Covered Bond") which will (i) if the temporary global Covered
Bonds are intended to be issued in new global Covered Bond ("NGCB") form, as specified in
the applicable Final Terms, be delivered on or prior to the original issue date of the Tranche to
a common safekeeper (the "Common Safekeeper") for Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear")
and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"); and (ii) if the
temporary global Covered Bonds are not intended to be issued in NGCB form, be delivered on
or prior to the original issue date of the Tranche to a common depositary (the "Common
Depositary") for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg. The Temporary Bearer Global
Covered Bond will be exchangeable, as specified in the applicable Final Terms, for either a
permanent global Covered Bond in bearer form (a "Permanent Bearer Global Covered Bond")
or, in certain limited circumstances, Bearer Covered Bonds in definitive form, in each case
upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership as required by U.S. Treasury
regulations. The applicable Final Terms will specify that a Permanent Bearer Global Covered
Bond (other than Swiss Domestic Covered Bonds) either (i) is exchangeable (in whole but not
in part) for definitive Covered Bonds upon not less than 60 days' notice or (ii) is only
exchangeable (in whole but not in part) for definitive Covered Bonds following the occurrence
of an Exchange Event (as defined under "Form of the Covered Bonds"), all as further
described in "Form of the Covered Bonds" below. In respect of each Tranche of Swiss
Domestic Covered Bonds, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms the Issuer
will deliver a permanent Global Covered Bond which will be deposited on or prior to the
original issue date of the Tranche with SIX SIS AG, the Swiss Securities Services Corporation
located in Olten, Switzerland ("SIX SIS AG" or the "Intermediary" which expressions shall
include any other clearing institution recognised by the SIX Swiss Exchange).
4


Bearer Covered Bonds are subject to U.S. tax law requirements, and, subject to certain
exceptions, may not be offered, resold or delivered within the United States to, or for the
account or benefit of, United States persons. See "Subscription and Sale" below.
Unless otherwise provided with respect to a particular Series (as defined under "Terms
and Conditions of the Covered Bonds") of Registered Covered Bonds, the Registered Covered
Bonds of each Tranche of such Series sold outside the United States in reliance on Regulation
S under the Securities Act will be represented by a permanent global Covered Bond in
registered form, without interest coupons (a "Reg. S Global Covered Bond"), deposited with a
custodian for, and registered in the name of a nominee of, The Depository Trust Company
("DTC") or common safekeeper as the case may be for the accounts of Euroclear and
Clearstream, Luxembourg for the accounts of their respective participants or, in the case of
Swiss Domestic Covered Bonds, deposited with the Intermediary and registered in the name of
a nominee of the Intermediary. Prior to expiry of the period that ends 40 days after completion
of the distribution of each Tranche of Covered Bonds, as certified by the relevant Dealer, in the
case of a non-syndicated issue, or the lead manager, in the case of a syndicated issue (the
"Distribution Compliance Period"), beneficial interests in the Reg. S Global Covered Bond may
not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. person except in accordance
with Rule 144A, Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or pursuant to another applicable exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Registered Covered Bonds of
each Tranche of such Series sold in private transactions to qualified institutional buyers
("QIBs") within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act will be represented by a
restricted permanent global covered bond in registered form, without interest coupons (a
"Restricted Global Covered Bond", and, together with a Reg. S. Global Covered Bond,
"Registered Global Covered Bonds"), deposited with a custodian for, and registered in the
name of a nominee of, DTC. Registered Covered Bonds in definitive form will, at the request of
the holder (save to the extent otherwise indicated in the applicable Final Terms), be issued in
exchange for interests in the Registered Global Covered Bonds upon compliance with the
procedures for exchange as described in "Form of the Covered Bonds".
Each Tranche of VP Systems Covered Bonds will be issued in uncertificated and
dematerialised book entry form, as more fully described under "Form of the Covered Bonds"
below. On or before the issue date of each Tranche of VP Systems Covered Bonds entries may
be made with VPS, VP or VPC (as the case may be) to evidence the debt represented by such
VP Systems Covered Bonds to accountholders with VPS, VP or VPC (as the case may be). VP
Systems Covered Bonds will be issued in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable
to such VP Systems Covered Bonds from time to time.
Registered Covered Bonds may be offered and sold in the United States exclusively to
persons reasonably believed by the Dealers to be QIBs (as defined herein). Each U.S.
purchaser of Registered Covered Bonds is hereby notified that the offer and sale of any
Registered Covered Bonds to it may be made in reliance upon the exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A under the Securities
Act.
The Issuer has agreed that, for so long as any Covered Bonds are "restricted
securities" within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Issuer will,
during any period in which it is neither subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the U.S. Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") nor exempt from reporting pursuant to
Rule 12g3-2(b) thereunder, provide to any holder or beneficial owner of such restricted
securities or to any prospective purchaser of such restricted securities designated by such
holder or beneficial owner upon the request of such holder, beneficial owner or prospective
purchaser, the information required to be provided by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities
Act. Registered Covered Bonds are not transferable to other holders within the United States
except upon satisfaction of certain conditions as described under "Subscription and Sale".
5


The Covered Bonds have not been recommended by or approved or disapproved by
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or any other federal or
state securities commission in the United States nor has the SEC or any other federal or state
securities commission confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of this
Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States. The
Covered Bonds are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be
transferred or resold except as permitted under applicable federal or state securities laws
pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption from registration. Investors should be
aware that they may be required to bear the financial risks of this investment for an indefinite
period of time.
