SUMMARY OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE CAPITAL SECURITIES

below shall have the same meanings in this summary.

Maturity:
The Capital Securities have no stated maturity. The principal

and thereafter at the rate of EUR CMS10 + 0.15 per cent. per annum
payable semi-annually in arrear on each Interest Payment Date,
provided that in no event shall the Rate of Interest exceed 8 per cent.
per annum.
"EUR CMS10" means the 10-year mid swap rate in euro (Annual,
30/360) versus 6 month EURIBOR (Actual/360) which appears on
the display designated as "ISDAFIX2" under the heading
"EURIBOR BASIS - 11.00 AM FRANKFURT" on the Reuter
Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page or service as may
replace it for the purpose of displaying such rates) as at 11:00 am
(Frankfurt time) on the relevant Interest Determination Date.
Interest Payment Dates:
The first Interest Payment Date will be 16 March 2006 and
thereafter the Interest Payment Dates will fall on 16 March and
16 September in each year from and including 16 September 2006,
each subject (with the exception of the first Interest Payment Date)
to adjustment in accordance with the modified following adjusted
business day convention.
Initial Call Date:
16 September 2015.
Status:
The Capital Securities constitute Hybrid Tier 1 Capital of the Issuer
in accordance with Section 132 of the Danish Financial Business
Act.
The Capital Securities constitute unsecured, subordinated debt
obligations of the Issuer and shall at all times rank pari passu
without preference among themselves and with other Hybrid Tier 1
Capital instruments and other capital instruments expressed to rank
5

pari passu with Hybrid Tier 1 Capital. The Capital Securities will at
all times rank in priority to holders of any class of share capital of
the Issuer, both as regards the right to receive periodic payments and
the right to receive repayment of capital on a bankruptcy or
liquidation of the Issuer.
Subordination:
In the event of the bankruptcy or liquidation of the Issuer by way of
public administration or otherwise, the rights of the Holders to
payments of the original principal amount of the Capital Securities
and any other amounts including interest due in respect of the
Capital Securities shall rank pari passu without any preference
among the Holders and pari passu with other Hybrid Tier 1 Capital
instruments and other capital instruments expressed to be ranking
pari passu with Hybrid Tier 1 Capital.
The Capital Securities will rank senior in priority to payments to
holders of all classes of share capital of the Issuer, and junior as
regards the right of payment to the payment of any present or future
claims of (a) depositors of the Issuer, (b) other unsubordinated
creditors of the Issuer and (c) subordinated creditors of the Issuer
other than creditors with respect to any securities expressly stated to
rank pari passu with or junior to the Capital Securities.
Optional Interest Deferral:
The Issuer will have the right to defer the payment of interest on the
Capital Securities in the event that (i) the Issuer does not satisfy the
solvency requirements of the Danish Financial Business Act or (ii)
the amount of Tier 1 Capital of the Issuer as recorded in the most
recent published consolidated financial statements (annual or
interim) of the Issuer is less than 5 per cent. of the risk-weighted
assets of the Issuer, calculated in accordance with the Danish
Financial Business Act. See "Terms and Conditions of the Capital
Securities--Interest--Optional Deferral of Interest".
Accrual of interest will cease with effect from the date of approval
Mandatory Interest Deferral
of the relevant annual audited accounts if the Issuer has no
and Interest Cancellation:
Available Free Reserves. Accordingly, in the event that the amount
of the next Interest Payment will exceed the Available Free
Reserves, such payment will be reduced to the amount of such
Available Free Reserves, or, if there are no Available Free Reserves,
to zero. Interest which has accrued in any Interest Period prior to the
date of approval of the relevant accounts, to the extent that the
amount of interest accrued as at the date of approval of the relevant
accounts exceeds the amount of the Available Free Reserves, shall
be deferred and shall constitute Arrears of Interest. Where interest
has ceased to accrue and subsequent annual audited accounts
disclose Available Free Reserves, accrual of interest will
recommence, provided, however, that the amount of the first
payment due after the date of such accounts will be restricted to the
amount accrued from the date of those accounts to the relevant
Interest Payment Date.
In the event that less than full payment is to be made on any Interest
Payment Date, the amount to be paid to any Holder of the Capital
Securities will represent a pro rata share of the full amount
available for payment, calculated by reference to the principal
amount of the relevant holding as a proportion of the total principal
amount of Capital Securities plus the principal amount of any pari
6

passu ranking capital instruments outstanding.
Any interest payment or part thereof which has not been made in
accordance with these provisions will, to the extent such interest
payment or part thereof has not been deferred in accordance with
these provisions, be cancelled and will not fall due at any time
thereafter. The Issuer shall give notice to the Holders of any
applicable loss or deferral of interest payment as applicable.
"Available Free Reserves" in respect of any fiscal year means the
amount of profits transferred to (and remaining in) reserves in
respect of previous fiscal years and the amount of profit transferred
to reserves in respect of the relevant fiscal year and any other
reserves available for distribution as dividends in respect of the
relevant fiscal year, all as disclosed in the Issuer's most recent
audited annual financial accounts, prepared in accordance with
Danish law, as reduced by any payments already made out of free
reserves since the date of such accounts by reference to free
reserves disclosed therein.
Dividend Suspension:
The Issuer shall not declare, pay or make any dividend or other
distribution on any class of its share capital nor shall the Issuer
redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire: (i) any of its share capital;
(ii) any pari passu ranking Tier 1 Securities; or (iii) any obligations
of the Issuer expressed to rank pari passu with or junior to the
Capital Securities, until (subject to reduction or elimination as
described in "Terms and Conditions of the Capital Securities--
Reduction of Amounts of Principal and Unpaid Interest"), as the
case may be, either all Arrears of Interest (together with all
corresponding Additional Interest Amounts) have been paid in full
and/or full interest payments are resumed following interest
cancellation (in accordance with "Terms and Conditions of the
Capital Securities--Mandatory Deferral of Interest and Interest
Cancellation"), and have been paid for any two consecutive Interest
Periods. Notwithstanding this restriction, the Issuer may take such
actions (a) in connection with transactions effected by or for the
account of customers of the Issuer in connection with distribution,
trading or market making in respect of those securities; (b) in
connection with the satisfaction by the Issuer of its obligations
under any existing or future employee benefit plans or similar
arrangements with or for the benefit of employees, officers,
directors or consultants of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries; or (c)
otherwise as required by law.
In certain circumstances, the shareholders of the Issuer, by a
Reduction of Amounts of
resolution passed at a general meeting duly convened in accordance
Principal and Unpaid Interest:
with Danish law and the Issuer's Articles of Association, may
resolve to reduce and cancel, pro rata, part or all of the outstanding
principal amount of each of the Capital Securities and any Arrears
of Interest thereon together with all corresponding Additional
Interest Amounts and any interest accrued since the commencement
of the relevant Interest Period on a pro rata basis with all the
Issuer's other outstanding Hybrid Tier 1 Capital instruments and
other capital instruments expressed to rank pari passu with Hybrid
Tier 1 Capital. See "Terms and Conditions of the Capital
7

Securities--Reduction of Amounts of Principal and Unpaid
Interest".
The Capital Securities may be redeemed in whole but not in part by
Redemption at the option of
the Issuer at its option on the Initial Call Date or on any Interest
the Issuer:

accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption and any Arrears of
Interest together with all corresponding Additional Interest
Amounts (the "Early Redemption Amount"), provided that, in
each such case, the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority
(Finanstilsynet) ("DFSA") has given its prior approval to such
redemption. See "Terms and Conditions of the Capital Securities--
Redemption and Repurchase--Redemption at the option of the
Issuer".
Redemption for tax reasons:
The Issuer may (subject to the prior approval of the DFSA), on
giving not more than 60 nor less than 30 days' irrevocable notice to
the Trustee and to the Holders, redeem all (but not some only) of the
Capital Securities at the Early Redemption Amount at any time, if,
as a result of: (i) any amendment to or change (including any
announced prospective change) in, the laws or treaties (or any
regulations thereunder) of the Kingdom of Denmark affecting
taxation, or (ii) any amendment to or change in the official position

any legislative body, court, governmental authority or regulatory
body, which amendment or change occurs on or after 10 March

the Issuer is, or will be, subject to more than a de minimis amount
of taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of
whatever nature or civil liabilities with respect to the Capital
Securities, (b) the Issuer's treatment of items of expense with
respect to the Capital Securities as deductible interest expense for
Danish tax purposes as reflected on the tax returns (including
estimated returns) filed (or to be filed) by the Issuer will not be
respected by a taxing authority, which subjects the Issuer to more
than a de minimis amount of additional taxes, duties or other
governmental charges, or (c) the Issuer would be required to pay
Additional Amounts in accordance with "Terms and Conditions of
the Capital Securities--Taxation".
Capital Event Redemption:
Subject to the prior approval of the DFSA, the Issuer may, at any
time, on giving not more than 60 nor less than 30 days' irrevocable
notice to the Holders and the Trustee, redeem all, but not some only,
of the Capital Securities at the Early Redemption Amount.

the Issuer shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on
account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of the

authority in, or of, the Kingdom of Denmark having power to tax,
unless the withholding or deduction of the Taxes is required by law.
In that event, the Issuer will, subject to Condition 4(h), pay such
Additional Amounts as may be necessary in order that the net
amounts received by the Holders and Couponholders after such
withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts which
8

deduction; except that no Additional Amounts shall be payable in

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
In making an investment decision, potential investors should carefully consider the merits and risks
of an investment in the Capital Securities. In particular, potential investors should be aware of the following:
If the Issuer's financial condition were to deteriorate materially, holders of Capital Securities could
lose all or part of their investment.
The Capital Securities constitutes Hybrid Tier 1 Capital of the Issuer in accordance with the Danish
Financial Business Act (Consolidated Act No. 90 of 3 February 2005), as amended. The Capital Securities
are unsecured, deeply subordinated obligations of the Issuer and are currently the most junior debt
instruments of the Issuer, ranking behind claims of depositors of the Issuer, other unsubordinated creditors
of the Issuer and subordinated creditors of the Issuer, other than creditors with respect to any capital
securities expressly stated to rank pari passu with or junior to the Capital Securities. The Capital Securities
currently rank in priority only to all classes of share capital of the Issuer.
Consequently, if the Issuer's financial condition were to deteriorate materially, holders of the Capital
Securities could suffer direct and materially adverse consequences, including suspension of non-cumulative
interest payments and reduction and cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding principal amount of
each of the Capital Securities and any unpaid interest payable thereon. In such event, the holders of the
Capital Securities could lose their entire investment.
Holders of Capital Securities may not receive interest payments if (i) the Issuer does not satisfy the
solvency requirements of the Danish Financial Business Act or (ii) the amount of Tier 1 Capital of the
Issuer as recorded in the most recent published consolidated financial statements (annual or interim)
of the Issuer is less than 5 per cent. of the risk-weighted assets of the Issuer, calculated in accordance
with the Danish Financial Business Act, and will not receive interest payments in the absence of
sufficient Available Free Reserves.
If (i) the Issuer does not satisfy the solvency requirements of the Danish Financial Business Act or (ii)
the amount of Tier 1 Capital of the Issuer as recorded in the most recent published consolidated financial
statements (annual or interim) of the Issuer is less than 5 per cent. of the risk-weighted assets of the Issuer,
calculated in accordance with the Danish Financial Business Act, the Issuer may elect not to make interest
payments that would otherwise be payable. Any interest on the Capital Securities so deferred will constitute
Arrears of Interest. Interest will accrue on the amount of Arrears of Interest at the rate of interest applicable
to the Capital Securities. Arrears of Interest (together with interest thereon) shall become due and payable
in full (except to the extent reduced or eliminated by resolution of the Issuer's shareholders under certain
circumstances) on the earliest of (A) the date on which (i) the Issuer next satisfies the solvency requirements
of the Danish Financial Business Act and (ii) there are published consolidated financial statements (annual
or interim) of the Issuer in which the amount of Tier 1 Capital recorded is equal to or greater than 5 per cent.
of the risk-weighted assets of the Issuer, calculated in accordance with the Danish Financial Business Act;
(B) the date on which the then outstanding principal amount of the Capital Securities is redeemed according
to the Optional Redemption, Redemption for taxation reasons or Capital Event Redemption provisions; or
(C) the bankruptcy or liquidation of the Issuer.
In addition the Issuer will make only partial or no interest payments during any interest period where there
are not sufficient Available Free Reserves. The right of Holders of the Capital Securities to receive accrued
but unpaid interest in respect of any such periods will be lost. The Issuer will have no obligation to make
such payments of unpaid interest or to pay interest thereon. As of 31 December 2004, the Available Free
Reserves of the Issuer amounted to DKK 5,937,443,865.
Outstanding Principal and Unpaid Interest may be reduced by resolution of the Issuer's shareholders
if certain conditions occur and holders of Capital Securities could lose all or part of their investment.
In the event that (i) the share capital and reserves of the Issuer have been reduced to zero; (ii) the 2B26
shareholders of the Issuer by extraordinary resolution passed at a duly convened general meeting have
resolved that the value of each of the outstanding shares representing the share capital of the Issuer be
10
