Credit strategy for the DNB Group

3

• We are a long term relationship oriented bank

• Focus on quality of management

• We have a low-risk portfolio strategy

• We finance corporate risk based on debt service ability (cash flow), not assets alone

• Exposure to non-investment grade companies is secured and followed up by covenants

• We finance industry sectors where we have institutional industry sector competence,

and we have been in the oil related industries since oil was discovered on the Norwegian

Continental Shelf

Proactively handling the uncertainty & market turbulence

• Monitoring of our portfolio is given top priority in the current situation with oil price

turbulence

• We have reviewed our oil, gas, offshore and oilfield service portfolios

• We actively manage our credits/clients

• Those who are performing, but not in accordance with their business plans require

additional attention, and are placed on (the so-called) «Watch-list»,

it’s our early warning tool!

• Watch-listed companies are reviewed quarterly, as a minimum

• We allocate additional expertise and resources to clients and

sub-portfolios with higher risk

• We are continuously evaluating which clients to put on “Watch-list”,

and what actions to be taken

No negative migration by year-end 2014 - 65% of portfolio is low risk and 33% is medium risk

• Large IG E&P/ integrated and national oil companies:

In general large, diversified companies with robust balance sheets and

ample liquidity that can sustain a significant drop in oil price.

• Midstream incl. LNG:

Mainly companies with infrastructure (pipelines, terminals, etc.) assets.

58% of EaD is IG. Limited sensitivity to commodity price movements.

• Exploration & Production (E&P) mid-caps:

Typically more robust than RBL.

• Reserved based lending (RBL) :

Bank debt is based on certain assumptions (reserves/ production

volumes, commodity prices, capex, etc). Well structured, i.e. “very early”

covenants and collateral-based. Semi-annual re-determinations of

borrowing base and revision of price decks used for lending purposes.

• Refining & Petrochemical:

Cyclical, but primarily margin based business. 51% of EaD is IG.

Less sensitive to commodity price movements.

• Exploration financing facilities (EFFs):

Secured financing of tax refund (related to exploration) from

the Norwegian State. No direct oil-price risk.

Oil & Gas exposure - NOK74bn (3.9% of total Group EaD)

NOK bn and per cent of NOK74bn

Offshore - solid companies and high contract coverage - The direct risk factor is not oil price, but the activity level and day-rates

• Offshore service vessels (OSV):

Mainly corporates with modern fleets (6-8 years) and good

contract coverage (60% for 2015)

Substantial part of the fleet supports existing infrastructure

as well as activities related to inspection, maintenance &

repair (IRM)

• Rig:

More than 40% of EaD are either investment grade (IG)

companies or have full contract coverage. Primarily latest

generation rigs. 75% weighted average contract coverage

for 2015 (61% for 2016 and 43% for 2017).

• FPSO/FSO:

Primarily full contract coverage to strong counterparties

Mainly full amortisation during contract period

• Subsea constructions:

Low short term oil price dependency, as it’s linked to

approved field development projects

Oilfield Services exposure - Mainly low risk exposure

13 IG: Investment grade, LBO: Leverage Buyouts, All figures as of 31 Dec 2014. FX NOK/USD as of 31 Dec 2014: 7.39 and as of 30 Sept 2014: 6.43,

companies. Primarily US based.

• Non-investment grade oilfield services/other

midcaps:

Wide range of companies through the oil and gas service

value chain. Medium/small caps only close to home.

• Seismic:

Limited exposure and dominant part is short-term

working capital financing.

• Leveraged buyout (LBO):

Mainly related to development and production. LBO

financing only close to home. Careful selection of

sponsors in the LBO space. Acceptance of higher financial

risk only if coupled with low operational risk. Prefer clients

with less dependence on oil companies’ CAPEX budgets.
