    Sparebanken Sør 3rd quarter 2015 Information The merger between Sparebanken Pluss and Sparebanken Sør complies with the rules set out in IFRS 3 and has been executed as a transaction. Sparebanken Sør´s net assets have been recognized in Sparebanken Pluss' balance sheet as of January 1st 2014. Negative goodwill is a consequence of divergence between the value of net assets and the fee paid in the merger. To prevent dilution of the equity ratio, negative goodwill has been fully recognized immediately after completion of the merger and transferred directly to the dividend equalization fund. (see separate note on the merger). Negative goodwill has been excluded from both the actual accounting figures and the comparative figures. 2 190 years of development and renewal 1985 The bank entered for the first time Telemark, through a Sparebanken Sør was merger with Nissedal established in 1984 after a Sparebank and totals Arendal Sparebank 1973 merger between Aust- today 7 branches in the was founded in 1825 The bank merged with 4 Agder Sparebank, 2 other county, where the latest as one of the first other savings banks in savings banks in Aust- was the opening of an savings banks in Aust-Agder, and formed Agder and 9 from Vest- office in Skien in the fall Norway.

    2 Millioner I Gave Fra Sparebankstiftelsen DNB NOR Til Oppgradering Og Tilrettelegging for Aktivitet for Barn På Krisesentrene

    2 millioner i gave fra Sparebankstiftelsen DNB NOR til oppgradering og tilrettelegging for aktivitet for barn på krisesentrene Sparebankstiftelsen DNB NOR har etter søknad fra Krisesentersekretariatet innvilget 2 millioner kroner til krisesentrene på Østlandet. Gaven skal brukes til å oppgradere og tilrettelegge for barn og unge som bor eller er i kontakt med et krisesenter. Til tross for tiltak, forskning og flere rettigheter bor det hvert år mellom 1600 og 2000 barn ved norske krisesentre. Alderssammensettingen blant barna har stort sett vært stabil over tid. Omtrent halvparten av barna er under 5 år, mens en av tre er i alderen seks til tolv år. I 2011 var 13 % av barna mellom 13 til 17 år. Til sammen overnattet barna 61 095 døgn på et krisesenter dette året. Nasjonale statistikker viser at krisesentrene har ulike fasiliteter rettet mot barn og ungdom. I 2011 rapporterer 21 av de 48 krisesentrene at de har ungdomsrom, 25 hadde aktivitetsrom og 40 har lekerom for de mindre barna. Mange av de ansatte ved krisesentrene forteller at rommene som er tilrettelagt for barn og unge er lite funksjonelle, nedslitt og dårlig sikret, eller om utearealer som trengs å forbedres. Alle disse utfordringene i forhold til gode aktivitetstilbud for barn og unge har vært vanskelig for flere av krisesentrene å oppgradere grunnet stram økonomi. Dette til tross for at krisesentrene blir finansiert med offentlig støtte. Krisesentrene er derfor svært glad for nå å kunne gi et bedre aktivitetstilbud til barn ved hjelp av midlene fra Sparebankstiftelsen DNB NOR. Studier viser at betydningen av lek og aktiviteter for barn som bor på krisesentrene, kan gjennomarbeide vanskelige erfaringer, og at lek og aktiviteter har en selvhelbredende funksjon.

ISSN 1020-0959 (print) ISSN 1682-7678 (online) Abstract This paper provides for the first time a comparative study of three major banking crises in Norway (1899-1905, 1920-28 and 1988-92), and presents financial and macroeconomic data spanning more than 130 years. Financial sector development appears to be closely linked to booms and busts in economic activity during these years. The boom periods that preceded each of the three crises all have some common features: they were characterised by significant bank expansion, considerable asset price inflation and increased indebtedness. The non-financial sector increased its debt only slightly more than its income during the first two boom periods, but subsequent deflation increased its debt burden.

The main topics addressed in the report are ethics, responsible products and investments, human resources policy, requirements with respect to our suppliers, corporate governance and cooperation with organisations, authorities, cultural institutions and sports associations. DnB NOR’s financial results are described in the Group’s financial annual report. The report applies to the financial year 2006 and is DnB NOR’s second separate report on corporate social responsibility. As a rule, stated key figures apply as at 31 December of the relevant year. In addition, the report presents a number of targets and measures for corporate social responsibility and thus also serves as an action plan for 2007. The report encompasses the entire DnB NOR Group, including subsidiaries and brands such as Vital, Postbanken, Nordlandsbanken, Cresco etc. DnB NORD (established in cooperation with NORD/LB in 2005) and DnB NOR Monchebank in north-west Russia (acquired in 2006) are included where possible. Nevertheless, in a number of areas, DnB NORD and DnB NOR Monchebank are excluded due to lack of available data. The report is based on the internationally recognised reporting standard Global Reporting Ini- tiative (GRI).
