SADG HELG PLUG RING SBVG SOAG SPOG TOTG Attractive bank with high EPS growth and dividend yield and low probability of new equity issue We initiate coverage and set our target price at NOK 106. Our Dividend Discount Model (DDM) gives a fair value of NOK 106 per EC share, the same fair value we get from our P/B perpetual growth model. Earnings per Equity Certificate (EPEC) are expected to grow by 8.4% in 2013 and 8.4% next year. Main driver is re-pricing of lending rates, cost focus capping OPEX growth and low loan losses. Net interest margin is expected at 1.56% current year, 1.57% next year and 1.61% in 2015. Main driver for the increase is the communicated re-price of mortgage rates by 25bps and corporate portfolio by around 30bps. Negative deposit margins are expected to improve, although at a marginal pace ahead. OPEX has shown a positive trend for several quarters, mainly due to cost focus and reduction of employees. Number of full time positions is reduced from 190 in 2Q11 to 176 by 2Q13. Current CEO, Svein Ivar Førland, started back in 2010 and the bank changed course in 2011 towards more cost efficient operations and focus on profitability instead of growth. Loan loss impairment in 2Q13 was 0.08% (ann.) of gross lending portfolio, which is low both in relative and absolute terms. We expect loan losses higher ahead for the sector, mainly due to normalising growth for the Norwegian economy. The CET 1 ratio was 11.0% including 50% of accumulated YTD profit by end 2Q13. Given our assumptions and a cc-buffer introduced below 2% (consensus), the bank will be compliant with expected regulatory requirements every quarter up to 4Q15 (our modelling period). Hence they will not need external equity capital, and they could if needed adjust lending growth lower and also reduce dividend if regulatory requirements are introduced at a higher than expected level.

(SADG) - Initial Coverage Risk assessment Retail share in lending portfolio of 66.5% could result in higher losses if mortgage prices fell sharply. The bank is situated in a region in Norway characterized by high growth driven by oil and oil related companies, and with a major drop in the oil price the companies situated in Stavanger/Sandnes could impose large losses on the bank. Low international interest rate environment pushes the Norwegian currency higher and could impose losses on exporters struggling to sell goods/services. Fondsfinans Research 25 September 2013 Page 3
