DNB Bank ASA - Completion of the merger with Sbanken and transfer of debtor positions under existing bonds
Reference is made to the previous stock exchange notices published by DNB Bank ASA ("DNB") with respect to the merger with DNBs wholly owned subsidiary Sbanken ASA ("Sbanken"), including the stock exchange notice dated 10 November 2022, where DNB announced that the Board of Directors of both DNB and Sbanken have approved the merger plan.
The merger has today been registered in the Norwegian Registry of Business Enterprises and is, consequently, effective in accordance with section 13-17, cf. section 13-24 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act. DNB has assumed all assets, rights and obligations of Sbanken, and Sbanken has simultaneously been dissolved.
The merger has been executed without merger consideration and DNB's share capital remains unaffected.
With effect from today, 2 May 2023, DNB will assume the position as debtor under the following bonds previously issued by Sbanken:
