The offer is an invitation to holders of certain series of its
outstanding notes which are guaranteed by The Kingdom of Sweden, to
tender their notes for purchase by the bank for cash. The offer is
conducted as part of the bank's ongoing liquidity management. Swedbank
executed its last issuance under the government guarantee program in the
summer of 2009 and subsequently exited the program in April 2010. The
notes have already been refinanced and the liability management exercise
aims to optimize the bank’s funding structure while maintaining a
prudent approach to liquidity.
