Dear Sirs

Today Sydbank’s Board of Directors has elected Lars Mikkelgaard-Jensen, Managing Director, as its new Chairman and Jacob Chr. Nielsen, CEO, as its new Vice-Chairman.

The continuing Board of Directors has taken note of the information. The Board of Directors will continue and intensify its efforts at making Sydbank a stronger bank, cf the Bank’s strategy.

Consequently the Bank*s Board of Directors consists of the following individuals:
Lars Mikkelgaard-Jensen, Chairman of the Board of Directors
Jacob Chr. Nielsen, Vice-Chairman
Janne Moltke-Leth
Susanne Schou
Carsten Andersen
Kim Holmer
Jarl Oxlund
Jørn Krogh Sørensen

Resigned from the Board of Directors:
Torben Nielsen

The Shareholders’ Committee will be convened as soon as possible with a view to adding to its number in order for the Board of Directors to possess the relevant expertise in future.

Sydbank will publish its financial statements for Q1-Q3 2019 on 30 October 2019.
