The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway ("the FSA") regularly carries out
a Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process ("SREP"), where they evaluate the
risks and capital needs of SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge. The SREP includes a decision
regarding the Pillar 2 Requirement (P2R) and the Pillar 2 Guidance (P2G), which
comes in addition to the Pillar 1 minimum requirements and the combined buffer
requirements. SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge has received this year's decision from the
FSA, which will apply from 31. December 2025. This year's Pillar 2 Requirement
amounts to 1.5 % of the group's risk weighted assets, an increase of 0,1
percantage points from the current decision from the FSA. At least 56.25 % of
the requirement shall be met with common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital, while 75
% must be met with tier 1 capital. Further, the FSA has decided to reduce the
Pillar 2 Guidance (P2G) from 1,0 % to 0.75 % of the group's risk weighted
assets.
In addition, as part of this year's SREP process, the FSA has decided that
SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge, on a consolidated and non-consolidated level, shall at
all times have an LCR in foreign currency of at least 100 percent as long as the
currency is significant. As long as at least one foreign currency is
significant, a minimum requirement for LCR in NOK of at least 50 percent
applies.
