Disclaimer: >>The following is a translation of a Danish original document. The original Danish text shall be the governing text for all purposes and in case of any discrepancy the Danish wording shall be applicable.<< Dear shareholder Viewed as a whole, 2012 was a really good year for Ringkjoebing Landbobank. The pre-tax profit improved by 18% to DKK 448 million, equivalent to a 19% return on the bank's equity. The bank's core earnings were DKK 401 million, which is above the expected range reported at the beginning of the year. This result was achieved on the basis of growth in customer numbers, the bank's low rate of costs and a continuing sound credit quality. To this must be added positive exchange rate adjustments, realised because the interest rate fell to a historically low level. The falling interest rate was characteristic of the lack of growth in Denmark and through- out Europe, while the difference between northern and southern Europe became even more marked as the debt crisis took hold. We expect that Denmark will come out of recession in 2013, but without growth rates being high enough to enable us to escape a period of low growth. The price of the bank's shares in 2012 performed better than that of any other Danish bank, with an increase of 35% including the dividend paid, and the market value is now DKK 3.9 billion. It is recommended to the general meeting that the dividend be increased to DKK 14 per share, and that we continue with a new buy-back programme for 130,000 shares. The bank's rate of costs was 32%, and we thus remain the most efficient bank in Denmark in terms of costs per krone earned. We're pleased with this situation because it makes our results highly robust, which benefits all our stakeholders. Robustness, profit and solvency remain important for our customers and their choice of bank. We have noted this during the past year, when we gained many new customers who want their capital managed or placed. We are therefore very satisfied with the bank's solid capitalisation. The bank's solvency is 22%, which should be seen in relation to the statutory requirement of 8%. The high solvency and the bank's earnings mean that Ring- kjoebing Landbobank is one of Denmark's most robust banks. We thus have the strength we need to support our customers and their good investments. This result and our sound basis is also a credit to our competent employees, who again performed fantastically in 2012. Their expertise, stability, loyalty and fighting spirit are an unsurpassed combination. We expect 2013 to be an interesting year, where the main task will be to do even more business with our current customers and continue to increase our market share with ad- ditional customers. We expect core earnings in the range DKK 350 - 425 million, to which must be added the result for the trading portfolio. Finally, we would like to thank our customers and shareholders for the high level of sup- port they give the bank.

This result is equivalent to a 19% return on equity, which is considered highly satisfac- tory in the present economic situation. The core earnings increased by 3% to DKK 401 million, which is above the expected range reported at the beginning of the year. Core income The total core income was 7% higher, with an increase from DKK 767 million in 2011 to DKK 823 million in 2012. Net interest income in 2012 was DKK 615 million, a 1% increase relative to the previous year. The increasing interest income comes primarily from a slightly higher interest mar- gin. Like the rest of the financial sector, the bank increased the interest margin in 2012. The very low level of interest is pulling in the opposite direction, resulting in a lower return on the bank's securities portfolio and its liquid resources. Net fees and commissions and foreign exchange income were derived as follows: Million DKK 2012 2011 Asset management 71 50 Securities trading 24 19 Guarantee commissions 41 35 Foreign exchange income 13 18 Payment handling 18 17 Loan fees 12 6 Other fees and commissions 20 7 Total 199 152 Fees, commissions and earnings on foreign currency amounted to net DKK 199 million in 2012 against net DKK 152 million in 2011, a 31% increase. The higher sums within asset management and the pension area had a positive effect, and there was good activity within conversion of mortgage credit loans. Costs and depreciations The total costs including depreciations of tangible assets were DKK 265 million in 2012, 6% higher than in the previous year. Half of the increase is the new fixed premium payable to the Guarantee Fund for De- positors and Investors which, from 2012, was charged as an expense under costs. It was decided as a part of Bank Package IV to establish an insurance scheme with a premium determined relative to the deposits which are covered. DKK 1,950 million is payable an- nually to the fund, of which the bank's share is currently 0.7%, equivalent to DKK 13.8 million a year. Contributions will be payable to the fund until it has reached DKK 7,500 million. Future costs of the Guarantee Fund for Depositors and Investors will be financed by the payments, so it is not possible to determine how long this charge will continue. On the other hand, the fluctuating costs of bank rescues will disappear in the future. DKK 8.6 million was charged to expenses in 2012, and this will increase to DKK 13.8 million in 2013. The rate of costs improved by 0.2 percentage points to 32.2%, which is an improve- ment of 1%, still the lowest in Denmark. A low rate of costs is particularly important in periods of difficult economic conditions as it gives a high level of robustness to the bank's results, as is also reflected in the calculation of the bank's individual solvency requirements of 8%. Write-downs on loans Write-downs on loans amounted to DKK 157 million against DKK 129 million in 2011. The level of write-downs remains acceptable and corresponds to 1.1% of total average loans, write-downs, guarantees and provisions. The bank's customers appear to be cop- ing better than the average in Denmark in the weak economic period. DKK 33 million was charged as an expense in the fourth quarter against DKK 45 million in the third quarter and DKK 55 million in the second quarter of 2012. The bank's total account for write-downs and provisions was DKK 758 million at the end of 2012, equivalent to 5.1% of total loans and guarantees. The actual write-downs on loans (including interest on the account for write-downs and provisions) remain low at DKK 48 million. The account for write-downs and provisions thus increased by net DKK 109 million net during the year. The portfolio of loans with discontinued calculation of interest was DKK 113 million, equivalent to 0.76% of the bank's total loans and guarantees at the end of the year. The Danish economy slipped back into recession in 2012, but it is expected to return to positive growth rates in 2013, and the bank is satisfied with the conservative credit policy on the basis of which it has always been run.

natural part of the economic cycle, the bank's losses are expected to remain at a relatively high level in 2013, but at a lower level than in 2012. It is also still the bank's judgment that its credit policy, diversi- fied loans portfolio and position in central and western Jutland will have a positive effect on the bank relative to the general level of losses for the banking sector as a whole. Core earnings Million DKK 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 Total core income 823 767 758 753 735 696 609 511 417 368 Total costs etc. -265 -248 -240 -238 -239 -234 -208 -190 -184 -163 Core earnings before write-downs on loans 558 519 518 515 496 462 401 321 233 205 Write-downs on loans -157 -129 -138 -159 -77 +11 +69 +5 +4 -10 Core earnings 401 390 380 356 419 473 470 326 237 195 The bank's expectations for core earnings were originally in the DKK 300 - 400 million range. This was stated more precisely at the end of October at approximately DKK 400 million. The result was realised over the reported interval. Result for portfolio The result for the portfolio for 2012 was positive at DKK 49 million including funding costs. The portfolio of shares etc. was DKK 230 million at the end of 2012, with DKK 29 million in listed shares and DKK 201 million in sector shares etc. The bond portfolio amounted to DKK 3,783 million kroner, and the greater part of the portfolio consists of AAA-rated Danish mortgage credit bonds and short-term bank bonds with rated Nordic counterparties. The total interest rate risk - calculated as the impact on the result of a one percentage point change in the interest rate - was 0.6% of the bank's core capital less deductions at the end of the year. The bank's total market risk within exposures to interest rate risk, listed shares etc. and foreign currency remains at a low level. The bank's risk of losses calculated on the basis of a Value at Risk model (calculated with a ten day horizon and 99% probability) was as follows in 2012: Value at Risk Risk relative to equity Risk in million DKK end of year in % Highest risk of loss: 28.4 1.06% Lowest risk of loss: 3.5 0.13% Average risk of loss: 14.7 0.55% The bank's policy remains to hold the market risk at a low level. Profit after tax The result after tax was DKK 328 million for the year against DKK 286 million in the previous year. The result after tax is equivalent to a return on equity of 14% after payment of dividend. The balance sheet The bank's balance sheet total at the end of the year was DKK 17,682 million against last year's DKK 17,549 million. Deposits increased by 1% from DKK 12,755 million to DKK 12,867 million. The bank's loans fell by 3% to DKK 12,424 million. The bank is continuing to enjoy good underlying growth in new customers from its branch network and within the niches Private Banking and wind turbine financing. The changed patterns of consump- tion with a higher proportion of saving and the general trend under which many custom- ers are reducing their balance sheets are, however, resulting in a greater rate of paying off existing loans than previously. Liquidity The bank's liquidity is good, and the bank's deposits are now DKK 443 million greater than its loans. The excess solvency relative to the statutory requirement is 186%. The bank's short-term funding with a time to maturity of less than 12 months is only DKK 639 million, corresponding to DKK 4.6 billion in short-term money market placements primarily with the National Bank, Nordic banks and liquid securities. The bank is thus not dependent on the short-term money market. Apart from this, a portion of the German loans portfolio for wind turbines is back to back, refinanced with the KfW Bank Group, so that the DKK 829 million in question can be ignored with respect to liquidity. The bank requires no financing in 2013 to comply with the minimum requirement of always being able to continue for up to 12 months without access to the financial markets. The bank's good liquidity is evident in the figure below, showing the liquidity buffer for the next 36 months. For the purpose of further diversifying the bank's funding possibilities, an agreement has just been entered into with BRFkredit on joint funding of the bank's mortgage loans with security within 60% of the property's value. The joint funding will take place in BRFkredit's AAA-rated capital centre and it enables long-term hedging of the bank's commitments. An agreement has also been entered into on the provision of mortgage loans for commercial properties. The two agreements will not result in any change to the bank's existing mortgage credit agreements with Totalkredit/Nykredit and DLR Kredit. Rating Ringkjoebing Landbobank was rated for the first time by the international credit rating bureau Moody's Investors Service in May 2007. Since this beginning, the bank's ratings have been: Moody's ratings: Financial Long-term strenght liquidity Outlook 22 May 2007 C+ A1 Stable End 2010 C+ A1 Negative End 2011 C A3 Stable End 2012 C - Baa1 Stable The bank was downgraded one notch in 2012 on long-term creditworthiness. This was done in connection with a general reassessment of all ratings in Europe. Moody's have had a general fear of the quality of credit in Denmark which also affected Ringkjoebing Landbobank. However, the effect on the bank was modest, as we currently have the best rating among Danish banks on Moody's books. The supervisory diamond The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority has prepared a set of rules with key figures with which the bank must comply. The bank's key figures and the FSA's limit values are given in the table below. There must be compliance with the key figures as of the end of December 2012. Ringkjoebing Landbobank complies with all these values with a good margin. The supervisory diamond Limmit values The bank's key figures Stable funding < 1 0.7 Excess liquidity > 50 185.5 Large exposures < 125 27.2 Growth in loans < 20 -2.5 Exposure to the housing market < 25 12.2 Dividend and share buy-back programme The bank's board of directors will recommend payment of a dividend of DKK 14 per share for the 2012 financial year to the general meeting, equivalent to DKK 70 million. A dividend of DKK 13 was paid in 2011. A hundred thousand shares have also been bought up under the buy-back programme which was approved at last year's general meeting. The recommendation to the general meeting will be that these be cancelled, thus reducing the number of shares in the bank from 4,940,000 to 4,840,000. It will also be proposed for 2013 that a new buy-back program be established under which up to 130,000 shares can be bought for cancellation at a subsequent general meeting. At the current price, this authorisation will reduce the equity by about DKK 105 million. Capital The equity at the beginning of 2012 was DKK 2,483 million. To this must be added the profit for the period, less the dividend paid and the value of the own shares bought, after which the equity at the end of the year was DKK 2,676 million, an increase of 8%. The bank's solvency ratio (Tier 2) was calculated at 22.4% at the end of 2012. The bank's core capital percent (Tier 1) was calculated at 20.9%. Solvency cover 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 Core capital ratio excl. hybrid core capital (%) 19.6 18.3 17.1 15.1 11.6 Core capital ratio (%) 20.9 19.8 18.6 16.6 13.0 Solvency ratio (%) 22.4 21.4 22.4 20.2 16.3 Individual solvency requirement (%) 8.0 8.0 8.0 8.0 8.0 Solvency cover 280% 268% 280% 253% 204% Ringkjoebing Landbobank's calculated individual capital adequacy requirement was cal culated at 6.7% under the bank's robust business model and was reported at 8%. From 2013, the method of calculation of the individual solvency will be changed to the so-called 8+ model, where the calculation takes its starting base at 8.0%. To this is added any supplements which are calculated inter alia for customers with financial problems which exceed 2% of the bank's capital base. This method of calculation does not take account of the bank's earnings base and robust business model. The individual solvency under this method is expected to be calculated at 8.7%. The bank's shares The bank's share capital at the end of 2012 was DKK 24.7 million in 4,940,000 nom. DKK 5 shares. The bank's shares at the beginning of 2012 were listed on the NASDAQ OMX Copen- hagen at 579. The share price rose during 2012 to 770 at the end of the year and the price was 808 on 25 January 2013, making the current market value DKK 3.9 billion. An investment in the bank's shares at the beginning of 2001 has increased tenfold including dividend. This made an investment in the bank's shares the best bank share investment in Denmark in this period. Increase in customers We intensified our efforts to gain new customers and business in 2012. This was done on the basis that we have both the liquidity and the capital to support growth, we felt comfortable with the bank's credit book, and we have a cost structure suitable for the future. The greatest challenge in a time of low growth is thus to create growth in the bank's top line. The bank's recruitment activities will continue in 2013, where initiatives will include further investment in expanding the bank's Private Banking platform and the market share in the branch network. We are currently experiencing a very positive growth in customer numbers in the branch network within the Private Banking segment, with transfers of deposits, pension and securi- ties customers. On the loans side, growth to date has been swallowed by the paying down of balance sheets. However, our assessment is that we are also currently extending the founda- tion for future earnings. Changes to the articles of association and the board of directors For several years, the bank's board of directors has been evaluating the

management's and the board of directors' expertise and working relationship, and there is a good basis for the chosen business model. The FSA also decided for group I and II banks in 2012 that the board of directors must include a member who has relevant experience managing a bank. The shareholders' committee decided on this basis to recommend a change in the bank's articles of association such that the committee can elect members directly to the board of directors.The committee will now elect former bank manager Joergen Lund, age 63, of Skanderborg, who has just retired from Jyske Bank. Mr Lund will replace Keld Hansen, grocer, of Soendervig, who is resigning at the general meeting after 11 years on the board. Expected result in 2013 The bank's core earnings in 2012 were DKK 401 million, which is above the range given at the beginning of the year. Ringkjoebing Landbobank's market share is about 50% in that part of West Jutland where the bank's old branches are located. The bank also has well-established branches in Herning, Holstebro and Viborg which are continuing to operate positively. The bank's plan is to retain and develop this portion of the customer portfolio with good and competitive products and with focus on the employees' expertise and work in advis- ing customers of the options in a changing financial world. In 2013, the bank expects a continuing positive inflow of customers to its branches in central and western Jutland because of its long-term outreach sales and consolidation in the sector. The activities in the bank's Distance Customer Department and its niche concepts, including the Holte branch, are expected to develop positively as a whole in the coming year. Focus will be placed on serving the bank's current customers and further devel- oping the portfolio within wind turbine financing, medical practitioners and affluent customers. Core earnings in 2013 are expected to be in the range DKK 350 - 425 million. To this must be added the result for the bank's trading portfolio. Events after the end of the financial year There have been no events after the balance sheet date and to date which would change the assessment of the bank's 2012 annual report. Capital structure The bank's management has specified a general objective for the bank's capital. The objective is that the bank must have a solidly based capital structure in comparison with both equivalent and bigger banks. The objective is also that the bank must have adequate capital for future growth, and there must also be adequate capital to cover any on-going fluctuations in the risks which the bank has assumed. The bank's capital ratios as of the end of December 2012 were as follows: Capital ratios - Core capital ratio excl. hybrid core capital 19.6% - Core capital ratio 20.9% - Solvency ratio 22.4% With respect to the calculation of the bank's Tier 1 capital, capital base and core capital ratio excluding hybrid Tier 1 capital, core capital ratio and capital adequacy ratio at the end of 2011, reference is made to the calculation of solvency requirement on page 49. The above capitalisation makes Ringkjoebing Landbobank one of Denmark's best capi- talised banks. The bank's objective is to retain this ranking in 2012. In the bank's assess- ment, this can be done on the basis of the expected result for 2012. The bank's board of directors will recommend to the general meeting that a dividend of DKK 14 per share, equivalent to DKK 70 million, be paid for the 2012 financial year. A dividend of DKK 13 was paid in 2011. Ninety thousand shares to a value of DKK 66 million were also bought during 2012. A further 10,000 were also transferred in Janu- ary 2013. Cancellation of 100,000 shares will be recommended to the general meet- ing, such that the number of shares in the bank will be reduced from 4,940,000 to 4,840,000. A proposal will also be made that a new buy-back programme be established for 2013 under which up to 130,000 shares can be bought for cancellation at a future general meeting. At the current price, this authorisation will reduce the share capital by DKK 105 million kroner. The maturity structure of the bank's external subordinated debt is presented in the fol- lowing overview. Subordinate capital - maturity structure Subordinated loan capital - Nom. EUR 27 million taken up on 30 June 2008, term 13 years to 30 June 2021, option of early redemption from 30 June 2018 if approved by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority. Hybrid core capital - Nom. DKK 200 million taken up on 2 March 2005, indefinite term, option of early redemption from 2 March 2015 if approved by the Danish FSA. - Of which nom. DKK 28 million bought in the fourth quarter of 2012. The bank uses the capital adequacy rules implemented in 2007 for the calculation and stating of weighted items with credit and counterparty risks and market and operational risks. Reference is made to the following summary for further information on the methods used by the bank for the various types of risk. Calculation of capital adequacy - methods used The bank uses the following methods for the calculation of capital adequacy: - Credit risk outside the trading portfolio Standardised Approach - Counterparty risk Mark-to-Market Method - Credit risk reducing method - financial collaterals Comprehensive Method - Market risk Standardised Approach - Operational risk Basic Indicator Method As will be evident from the above, the bank uses the standard method for calculation of its credit risk and therewith the risk-weighted items. This method uses fixed solvency weightings. As a result of this method, the bank has not had the same lowering of sol- vency weighting as those banks which are using more advanced methods. On the other hand, the bank does not experience increasing solvency weightings in periods of reces- sion. Relative to the advanced methods, use of the standard method means that there is significantly greater robustness in the calculated capital percentages and a smaller volatility in the risk-weighted items. The transfer to the new Basel III rules is therefore not expected to have a significant ef- fect on the bank's risk-weighted assets, and as the bank's capital base is adequate, the bank is prepared for the transfer to the new rules on capital. Ringkjoebing Landbobank also focuses on its internally calculated individual solvency requirement, defined as an adequate capital base as a percentage of the bank's risk- weighted items. The adequate capital base is assessed on the basis of an internal model and calculated as the amount which is appropriate to cover the bank's current and future risks. The individual solvency requirement is calculated at 6.7%, which reflects the bank's solid earnings, low credit risk and modest market risk. The computed adequate capital base is reassessed on a regular basis, and reports to the Danish FSA are also made on a regular basis. The reporting of the individual solvency requirement to the FSA is given as 8% as the individual solvency requirement calculated by the bank at less than 8% can- not be less than 8% under Section 124(4) of the act on financial activities. The FSA most recently reviewed the bank's calculation of its individual solvency requirement in spring 2012. For further information on the calculation of the individual solvency requirement of Ringkjoebing Landbobank, please see the bank's website at: www.landbobanken.dk. Although there is a minimum solvency requirement of 8% which the bank must use as its individual requirement, the bank has a considerable excess solvency as indicated in the following summary. Solvency cover 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 Solvency ratio (%) 22.4 21.4 22.4 20.2 16.3 Individual solvency requirement (%) 8.0 8.0 8.0 8.0 8.0 Excess solvency (%) 14.4 13.4 14.4 12.2 8.3 Solvency cover 280% 268% 280% 253% 204% It can be concluded that throughout 2012, Ringkjoebing Landbobank has complied with both external and internal capital requirements, and the actual capital base has continu- ally been considerably above the adequate level. From 2013, the method of calculating the individual solvency will be changed to the so-called 8+ model, where the calculation is based on 8.0% of the bank's risk-weighted items. This 8% covers the most common risks, plus any weighting for risks and cir- cumstances which are not reflected in the calculation of the risk-weighted items, in the assessment of which the bank takes account inter alia of the following: - Credit risks on major customers with financial problems - Concentration risks in the loans book - Market risks - Liquidity risks - Operational risks Unlike the method of calculation used to date, the 8+ model does not take account of the bank's strong earnings base and robust business model. The changed method will therefore result in an increase in the individual solvency requirements from 6.7% to 8.7%. Risks and risk management Ringkjoebing Landbobank is exposed to various types of risk in connection with its opera- tions: credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and operational risk. The credit risk is defined as the risk that payments owing to the bank are not judged to be recoverable because of lack of either ability or willingness to make payment at the agreed time. The market risk is defined as the risk that the market value of the bank's assets and liabilities will change as a result of changes in market conditions. The bank's total market risk includes interest rate risks, foreign currency risks, share risks and property risks. The liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the bank's obligations to make payments cannot be honoured under the bank's cash flow position. Finally, the operational risk is defined as the risk of either direct or indirect financial loss- es as a result of faults in internal processes and systems, human error or external events.

DJ DGAP-UK-Regulatory: Annual Report 2012, -4-
Policy for risk taking and management The framework for the bank's risk taking is specified by the board of directors, which has adopted a policy for each individual risk area, which inter alia defines the bank's risk profile in the area. Each policy is reviewed and reassessed by the board at least once a year in connection with the board's position on the bank's general business model and risk profile. The bank's general principle for assuming a risk is that the bank will only assume risks within a moderate risk profile which the bank has the expertise to manage. The basis for the board of directors' review of the bank's business model and associated policies for each individual risk area is a general risk report prepared by the bank's risk manager. The report covers the various risks to which the bank is exposed, and gives the board a complete picture of the bank's general risk profile. In comparison with the market possibilities, the board than assesses whether the bank's business model and risk profile should be adjusted. The report also acts as a basis for any adaptation of the poli- cies in the various risk areas. Apart from the strategic risk management, there is an on-going operational central management and monitoring of the bank's risks in each area. This monitoring is re- ported to the bank's management and board of directors. The management and control and reporting functions are separate, and the work is performed by several of the bank's central staff functions. The bank's risk manager ensures full reporting of risks and pro- vides a meaningful picture of the bank's actual risk taking. The various types of risk are subsequently described in more detail. Credit risks - loans Over the years, Ringkjoebing Landbobank has developed to its present status as primarily a regional bank in central and western Jutland and a niche bank within selected areas. This development has been a part of the bank's strategy, and the bank's management notes with satisfaction that the bank has achieved a significant diversified portfolio of loans, including a wide geographic distribution of branches. In general, Ringkjoebing Landbobank assumes credit risks on the basis of a policy, the objectives of which are to have a well-balanced relationship between assumed risks and the return gained by the bank, that the bank's losses must be at an acceptable level rela- tive to the Danish financial sector, and finally, losses suffered even in extreme situations must be able to be accommodated within the bank's results. The gearing of loans relative to the bank's subordinated capital is about 4.5, and the bank's objective is that the results must be achieved with a lesser or the same credit gearing as that of the country's major banks. Historically, the bank has always had a healthy and conservative credit policy, and focus will remain on ensuring an efficient management and monitoring of the bank's total portfolio of loans via its central credit department. Apart from the normal following up and management of credit in the bank's central credit department, where there is regular reviewing of and following up on all major commitments, the bank has developed a set of credit evaluation models which are used to assess the quality of the exposure to credit. Statistical models are used for private and small business customers, while an expert model is used for major businesses. The sta- tistical model has 7-10 different factors, including information on the customer's assets and a quantity of behavioural data. The expert model for business customers is based on information on the customer's creditworthiness and earning capacity. Using these models, the bank's judgment is that the credit quality for those loans which have not been written down is generally unchanged relative to 2011. As in previ- ous years, the bank is, however, aware of the risks which the economic conditions are imposing on the bank's customers. A particular problem is the challenge posed to the bank's private customers by a weak property market and potentially rising interest rates. The bank's customers are, however, judged to be relatively less vulnerable to these chal- lenges, among other reasons because of a relatively low home loan burden in the bank's core area.

Explanation: The percentage losses were computed as the actual net losses for the year before and after interest on the written-down part of loans as a percentage of total loans, guarantees and write-downs on loans and provisions for guarantees. A minus sign before a percentage loss indicates a loss, while a positive percentage loss means that the interest on the written-down part of loans was greater than the actual net losses for the year. All the above figures are exclusive amounts regarding the national bank package I etc. The above table documents the bank's healthy credit policy. As will be evident, the bank's average percentage loss after interest over the last 25 years (1988 - 2012) was -0.02%, with -0.77% (1992) the highest loss and +0.51% (2000) the most positive figure. The average percentage loss before interest over the last 25 years is -0.54%, with -1.70 percent (1992) the highest loss and -0.01% (1999 and 2000) the lowest loss. The average percentage loss after interest over the last ten years (2003 - 2012) was -0.11%; the average percentage loss before interest was -0.30%. The regional section of the bank is run partly via branches in the bank's original core area in West Jutland and partly via branches in the three big central and western Jutland cities Herning, Holstebro and Viborg. The most important niches within the bank's niche section are financing of medical practitioners' purchases of private practices, a Private Banking department covering affluent private customers, and financing of securities and loans for the financing of wind turbines. The financing of wind turbines is for Danish investors' purchases of wind turbines erected in Denmark, Germany and France. An important common factor in the niche areas is that the bank attempts to obtain a first mortgage, and therewith satisfactory security in the mortgaged assets, which is an important part of the bank's business philosophy. Concentration of credit As indicated in the summary below, total large exposures amount to 27.2%. This figure includes a good quality commitment of 10.4% with adequate security and a commit- ment with a well-consolidated financial counterparty which will be redeemed in 2013. Concentration of credit 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 Total large exposures 27.2% 11.8% 0.0% 0.0% 12.1% Explanation: The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority key figure >>Total large exposures<<. Explanation: Distribution of the bank's loans and guarantee portfolio before write-downs and provisions by customer addresses. Geographic spread of the bank's loans and guarantee portfolio As is evident from the figure, a significant geographic diversification of the bank's port- folio of loans and guarantees has been achieved via both the regional section and the niche section. The loans via the bank's niche section have also helped to ensure a major diversification in the bank's loans portfolio, so that this portfolio is not correlated with the economic cycle to the same extent as if the bank were run exclusively as a regional bank. Credit risk on financial counterparties Exposure to financial counterparties, and therewith a credit risk, including a settlement risk, arises in connection with the bank's trading in securities, foreign currency and de- rivative financial instruments, the bank's loans to other banks, and the bank's possession of bonds and transfer of funds. The settlement risk is the risk that in connection with the settlement of trades in securities and/or currency, the bank will not receive payment or securities

corresponding to the securities and/or payments which the bank had made and delivered. The bank's board of directors grants lines of credit for credit risks and the risk of wind- ing up against financial counterparties. When granting lines of credit, account is taken of the individual counterparty's risk profile, rating, size and financial circumstances, and there is constant follow-up on the lines of credit which were granted. The bank's policy is to keep the credit risk on financial counterparties at a balanced level relative to the bank's size, and against credit institutions with good creditworthiness. Claims on central banks and credit institutions One of the two major items concerning the credit risk with financial counterparties is credit bal- ances with central banks and credit institutions. The bank has assumed only a moderate risk on this item, and in the total credit balances with central banks and credit institutions, only 72% is thus due within three months. The bond portfolio The second of the two major items concerning the credit risk with financial counterparties is the bank's bond portfolio. Bonds distributed by rating classes A1/A+ 10% A2/A 3% Aaa/AAA 41% A3/A- 22% Baa1/BBB+ 7% Baa2/BBB 4% Ikke rated 11% Ba1/BB+ 1% Baa3/BBB- 1% Explanation: The bond portfolio distributed by rating classes. Ratings from the credit rating bureaus Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's and Fitch were used in the specification. As will be evident in the figure below, the bond portfolio consists mainly of AAA-rated Danish mortgage credit bonds and bank bonds. There is also a modest holding of com- mercial bonds. The portfolio of bank bonds consists chiefly of bonds with short terms issued by rated Nordic banks. These bonds have a good credit quality, but their market value can vary over time in connection with general changes in credit spread in the market, and company-specific circumstances can also affect the value of these bonds. The credit spreads on these bonds were reduced throughout 2012, resulting in a capital gain for the bank. On the other hand, a later extension of the spreads could trigger a loss. Given the relatively short term, the risk involved is, however, manageable. The bank's bond portfolio does not involve any exposure to southern European countries. Market risks The bank's basic policy with respect to market risks is that the bank wishes to keep such risks at a relatively low level. The bank has determined a concrete framework for each type of market risk, and the risk assessment includes the objective that there must be a sensible and balanced rela- tionship between risk and return. The bank uses derivatives to cover and manage the various market risk types to the extent to which the bank wishes to reduce the extent of, or eliminate, the market risks which the bank has assumed. To supplement the more traditional measures of market risk, the bank has a mathemati- cal/statistical model to compute market risks. The model is used to compute Value at Risk (VaR), which is regularly reported to the bank's management. VaR is a measure of risk which describes the bank's risk under normal market conditions. An isolated VaR is calculated for interest rate, foreign exchange and listed share posi- tions, and a total VaR is also calculated for all of the bank's market risks consisting of interest rate, foreign exchange and listed share positions. This possibility of calculating a total VaR for the bank's market risks is one of the major advantages of the VaR model compared with more traditional measures of risk. The reader is referred to the following section 'Value at Risk' for the specific results etc. under the VaR model. Interest rate risk The bank's loan and deposit business and accounts with credit institutions are mostly entered into on a variable basis. The bank's fixed interest financial assets and liabilities are monitored continuously, and hedging transactions are entered into as needed with a consequent reduction of the interest rate risk. Ringkjoebing Landbobank's policy is to maintain a low interest rate risk, and the bank thus does not assume high levels of exposure to movements in interest rates. The bank's interest rate risk is monitored and managed daily by the bank's securities department, and the bank's service and support department controls maintenance of the limits for assumption of interest rate risk, and reports to the bank's board of direc- tors and management. Interest rate risk 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Explanation: The interest rate risk shows the effect on the result as a percentage of the core capital after deductions of one percentage point change in the interest level. As will be evident from the figure, the bank has maintained a low interest risk over the last five years in accordance with the bank's policy for this type of risk Foreign exchange risk The bank's principal currency is the Danish krone, but the bank has also entered into loan and deposit arrangements in other currencies. The bank's policy is to maintain a minimal foreign exchange risk, and the bank thus reduces on-going positions in foreign currencies via hedging. The bank's positions in foreign exchange are managed daily by the foreign department, while the bank's service and support department monitors maintenance of lines of credit and reports to the board of directors and management. As in previous years, the bank's foreign exchange risk in 2012 was at an insignificant level. Share risk The bank is co-owner of various industrial companies via equity interests in DLR Kredit A/S, PRAS A/S, BankInvest Holding A/S, SparInvest Holding A/S, EgnsInvest Holding A/S, Letpension Holding A/S, Nets Holding A/S, Swift, Bluegarden A/S, Vaerdipapircentralen A/S, Bankernes Kontantservice A/S, Landbrugets Finansieringsbank A/S and Bankdata. These holdings are comparable with the wholly owned subsidiaries of major banks, and the equity interests are thus not deemed to be a part of the bank's share risk. The bank also holds a small portfolio of listed shares. The bank's policy is to maintain a low share risk. The daily management of the bank's share portfolio is undertaken by the securities department, while monitoring of the lines of credit and reporting to management and the board of directors are performed by the service and support department. The bank's portfolio of listed shares etc. amounted to DKK 29 million at the end of 2012 against DKK 12 million at the end of 2011. The portfolio of sector and capital shares at the end of 2012 was DKK 201 million against DKK 237 million at the end of 2011. As will be evident from the figure below, the bank's exposure to shares (excluding sector and capital shares) as a percentage of the bank's equity has been modest, therewith documenting the bank's goal of maintaining a low risk on shares. Share exposure 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Explanation: The share exposure is computed as the bank's holding of shares (excluding sector shares and other holdings) as a percentage of the shareholders' equity. Property risk The bank primarily wishes to possess only properties for use in banking operations, and also to maintain minimal property risks. The bank's portfolio of both domicile and investment properties is thus quite modest relative to the bank's balance sheet total. Value at Risk The bank's total Value at Risk at the end of 2012 was DKK 5.8 million. This sum is an expression of the maximum loss in a statistical perspective which the bank could risk losing with 99% probability if all market positions were retained unchanged for a period of 10 days.

The average VaR figure has been DKK 14.7 million, a small increase relative to last year. Reference is made to note 41 on page 74 for the VaR figures for the years 2008 - 2012. The model in brief The model is a parametric VaR model based on a historical analysis of the covariation (correlations) between the prices of various financial assets etc., including different share indices, various official interest rates and interest swap rates, and different exchange rate indices. By combining the historical knowledge of the covariation for the financial markets with the bank's current positions, the model can calculate a risk of losses for a forthcoming ten-day period. All of the bank's interest rate positions, foreign currency positions and listed share positions etc. are included in the calculation, while positions in sector shares and unlisted ownership interests are not included. The model does not take account of credit spread risks on the bank's bond portfolio. The model is unchanged relative to last year. Back tests and stress tests So-called 'back tests' are made to document that the VaR model provides a sensible picture of the bank's risk. The test compares the calculated loss under the model with the losses which the bank would actually have suffered if the positions in question had been retained for a ten-day period. A number of stress tests are also carried out to indi- cate the bank's risk of loss in abnormal market situations. Back tests of the model were performed throughout the year with satisfactory results. Liquidity risk In general with respect to the bank's liquidity management, it is the bank's objective not to have uncovered net funding requirements and not to be dependent on the short- term money market. An objective is thus that the bank

may not be affected by a total shutdown of the money market for a period of 12 months. The bank's loans portfolio is funded primarily via a range of sources, namely the bank's deposits, by taking out long-term loans with other credit institutions, via issuing bonds, and finally via the subordinated capital taken up by the bank, and the bank's equity. The bank's deposit base consists primarily of core deposits and deposits from customers with a long-term relationship with the bank. Ringkjoebing Landbobank has also entered into longer-term bilateral loan agreements with European banks. It should, however, be noted that the bank's funding situation is not comprised such that the bank is dependent on the institutions in a single country or on single institutions. The bank entered into an agreement with BRFkredit during 2012 on joint funding. This agreement means that the bank can procure liquidity by letting BRFkredit issue SDO bonds against security in the loans which the bank has provided to customers with secu- rity in real estate. The bank has not yet availed itself of this setup, but the bank expects that the option can act as a supplementary source of funding for the bank in the longer term. Deposits and other debts Distribution of funding 73% Other liabilities 1% 5% 17% 2% Issued bonds - term to maturity over 1 year 1% Issued bonds - term to maturity under 1 year 1% Debt to credit institutions - term to maturity over 1 year Total capital base Debt to credit institutions - term to maturity under 1 year DKK 1,000 The short-term funding (term to maturity under 1 year): Issued bonds - term to maturity under 1 year 224,583 Debt to credit institutions and central banks - term to maturity under 1 year 414,472 Total 639,055 Is covered as follows: Cash in hand etc. 36,776 Deposits on demand with central banks - certificates of deposit 622,414 Claims on credit institutions - term to maturity under 1 year 92,578 Listed bonds and listed shares etc. at current value 3,812,362 Total 4,564,130 Excess cover 3,925,075 As will be evident from the above, the short-term funding (time to maturity less than one year) is supported via the bank's portfolio of certificates of deposit and demand de- posits with the Danish National Bank, short-term loan arrangements with other banks, and the bank's portfolio of liquid securities. It should be noted that the excess liquidity cover at the end of 2012 was DKK 3.9 billion, while the corresponding figures at the end of 2011 and 2010 were DKK 3.7 billion and DKK 3.3 billion respectively. To ensure diversification in funding, the bank established an EMTN bond programme of EUR 2 billion in 2008. The programme helps to ensure alternative funding sources for the bank. The bank has made issues under the programme in 2010 and 2011, but has not done so in 2012. Operational risk The capital adequacy rules require the banks to quantify and include an amount for operational risks when computing their capital adequacy. The bank uses the so-called basic indicator method where, on the basis of calculation of an average of the most recent three financial years' net incomes, a sum is quantified and ascribed to the risk-weighted items to cover the bank's operational risks. The bank regularly produces reports on the losses and events which are judged to be attributable to operational risks. An assessment is made on the basis of the reports of whether procedures etc. can be adjusted and improved in order to avoid or minimise any operational risks, and the bank's procedures are also regularly reviewed and as- sessed by the bank's internal and external auditors. An important area in assessment of the bank's operational risks is IT. The bank's IT organisation and management are always concerned about IT security, including preparation of IT emergency plans, in connection with which the bank speci- fies requirements and levels for availability and stability of the IT systems and data used by the bank. These requirements apply to both the bank's internal IT organisation and its external IT supplier Bankdata, which the bank owns together with a number of other banks. Further information of the bank's risks With the implementation of the Basel II rules in Danish legislation on capital adequacy, Danish banks were also required to publish certain information on risks (popularly also called Column 3 information). Some of the required risk information is given in this an- nual report, but for a full overview of the bank's duty to provide information, the reader is referred to the bank's website at www.landbobanken.dk. Corporate governance Corporate governance in Ringkjoebing Landbobank concerns the objectives which gov- ern the bank's management and the general principles and structures governing the interplay with the bank's primary interested parties: the bank's shareholders and cus- tomers, the bank's management and employees, and the local areas in which the bank has branches. Since 2002, the bank's management has taken an active approach to the recommenda- tions issued on corporate governance, and the bank's attitude to corporate governance has been minuted in the annual reports since that year. When preparing the 2012 annu- al report, the bank's board of directors and management assessed the bank's positions on the individual recommendations. The bank's management supports the efforts in the area of corporate governance, and the bank's management and board of directors have elected to adopt almost all of the recommendations in this area. In individual areas, the bank's management has, however, elected either not to follow the recommendations or to follow them only in part. The bank currently follows 74 of the 79 recommendations. Please note in this respect that election periods and procedures for the periods served by members of the shareholders' committee and the board of directors are considered appropriate. The board of directors does, however, believe that the procedure for elec- tion to the board can usefully be changed so that candidates can be found both among and beyond the membership of the shareholders' committee. This point is expected to be put to the general meeting for approval. The detailed statement concerning corpo- rate management required in the management report under current accounting rules is published on the bank's website. See www.landbobanken.dk/god-selskabsledelse. The statement in question also indi- cates the bank's management's position on the supplementary recommendations on good corporate governance etc. issued by the Danish Bankers' Association. For information on the board members' other managerial activities, see pages 85 and 86. Statutory statement on social responsibility Throughout its long history, Ringkjoebing Landbobank has always been strongly an- chored in the local communities in which the bank is represented, and the bank has considered it an entirely natural part of its business basis to support the local area's development. Via the management's implementation of and position on the recommen- dations on good corporate governance, the bank is also focused on those matters which govern the interaction with the bank's primary stakeholders, namely its shareholders and customers, its management and employees, and the local areas in which the bank's branches are situated. The bank's policy in the area of social responsibility is based on a desire to run a responsible and value-creating bank which works consciously to create the best results for shareholders, customers, employees, the local community and the surrounding environment and the bank as a financial institution. The bank's policy in the area of social responsibility is given on its website, www.landbobanken.dk/samfundsan- svar. Some of the bank's activities in 2012 for its main stakeholders are described below. Customers During the year, the bank continued its work on development of its advisory service for customers. This includes: - Further development of the bank's concept within the area of advice on pensions, where the bank's advisers give the customer a general view of pension saving schemes and cover in the event of invalidity and death. The bank has a concept which, in a simple and clear way, gives the customer a sound understanding in a highly complex area, and where the customer is then in a position to make some decisions which are especially critical for his or her financial situation. On the basis of this concept, the bank is systematically proceeding to contact those customers who could have a need for advice in this area. - Implementation of the concept of all-inclusive advice where, in cooperation with the customer, the bank prepares a review of the customer's total financial situation, including loans, insurances, pension etc. - Development of means of communication between the bank and its customers, in- cluding development of easily understandable elements on the bank's website which give the customer a solid insight into some of the bank's products. The banks Mobile Bank offer is also being extended to include iPad. - The strength of Private Banking advice, where the bank's asset advisers provide spe- cialised advice to customers with complex financial situations. Employees The bank initiated the following in 2012 in relation to employees: - Signing a new collective agreement with the possibility of flexible arrangements. - Held employee development interviews with all employees. - Certification of advisers in financial products to ensure their provision of competent advice. - Training of all advisers in advising on pensions. - In-service training for a large number of employees in provision of all-round advice. - Appointment of a total of 15 employees, including two new trainees in 2012 and seven new trainees in 2013. Apart from appointing the new trainees, the

bank held a career day to give secondary school students a basis for making a rational career choice. - Implementation of new routines and systems to increase the efficiency of the bank's administrative processes. This also includes continuation of the campaign 'Overview means profit', which ensures employees a better overview of their own duties. In the bank's experience, this ensures happier employees, less stress and better provision of advice to the bank's customers. - Supported social activities in the bank, including financial support for the bank's staff association. The environment As a bank and a workplace, the bank accepts shared responsibility for the environment. In 2012 this included: - New loans of about DKK 400 million for wind turbine financing and major solar cell systems. - Development of a concept for financing solar cell systems for private homes. - Financing of energy-saving initiatives. - Established a partnership with interactive web portal to help the bank's customers to identify energy-saving initiatives in their homes. As a workplace, the environmental initiatives included: - Focus on conversion of procedures to electronic case handling. This will reduce the bank's environmental impact on an on-going basis. - Replacement of air conditioning system in the bank's head office. - Holding of video meetings with Bankdata to the greatest possible extent to reduce driving to Bankdatas headquater in Fredericia. - Planning of training and meeting activities and coordination to reduce the associated travel as much as possible. Local community Given its position in the local area, the bank has a natural wish to support the area's development. Activities in 2012 included the following: - Total payment of DKK 151 million in corporation tax and wages, of which DKK 138 million was corporation tax. - Allocation of a total of about DKK 1 million from the following funds: - Sdr. Lem Andelskasses Fond - Tarm Banks Jubilaeumsfond - Bankens Resultatfond - Sponsorship agreements with more than 700 clubs and associations in the bank's lo- cal area. This includes subsidies for cultural activities, general and elite sports in order to support the goal of putting the local community on the map. Major activities dur- ing the year included support for: - Biopartner - Ringkoebing cinema - Artificial grass pitch for SG-Skjern - Generator - music venue in Ringkoebing - New swimming facility in Ringkoebing - and many more The bank's website - www.landbobanken.dk/samfundsansvar - provides a detailed ac- count of the bank's social responsibility. Statutory statement on management The board of directors and the shareholders' committee The bank's shareholders' committee has 25 members elected for four years at a time. The bank's board of directors has eight members - six elected by shareholders and two elected by employees. The bank's management does not sit on the board, but takes part in board meetings. The board holds 10 - 12 meetings a year. The board of directors is elected by the bank's shareholders' committee and is comprised in a manner which ensures a broad range of expertise and compliance with a special expertise profile speci- fied by the board. Board members are elected for four-year terms. In accordance with the recommendation of the committee on good corporate governance, at least half the board members must be independent. Members of the board of directors and members of the shareholders' committee must retire from the shareholders' committee at the latest at the first annual general meeting after they have reached the age of 67. Committee of the board of directors The bank's board of directors has appointed an audit committee to monitor and check accounting and auditing matters and prepare the board's processing of matters related to accounting and auditing. The committee consists of the bank's full board of directors. The board has also appointed an independent board member (the chairman of the au- diting committee) who possesses the requisite qualifications within accounting, includ- ing the process of presenting the financial statements, internal controls and risk man- agement etc. Other committees, including the remuneration committee, also comprise the full board of directors. Presentation of the financial statements The board of directors, management and the audit committee regularly ensure that the bank's control and risk management are functioning satisfactorily in connection with the process of presentation of the financial statements. The object is to ensure reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that unlawful use of assets, losses and/or material errors and omissions are avoided in connection with the presentation of the financial statements. Management regularly monitors compliance with relevant legislation, other regula- tions and provisions in connection with the presentation of the financial statements and reports regularly to the board of directors. Evaluation etc. The board of directors made a comprehensive self-evaluation during 2012. As a basis for the evaluation, the board first identified the expertise which it should possess in order to be able to perform its activities in a competent way. This was done on the basis of the bank's business model and a comprehensive analysis of the risks associated therewith. The general expertise required includes a knowledge of the following matters: - Credit - Market risk - Liquidity - Operations - Accounting and capital - Statutory framework for financial activities Each individual board member assessed his or her own qualifications on the basis of the specified requirements. The result was discussed by the board, and its assessment was that as a whole, it possesses all the required expertise and qualifications. In July 2012, the FSA issued new guidelines on the work of the board of directors etc. An expectation was expressed to the effect that for banks in groups I and II, there should be at least one board member with relevant experience in managing a bank. Ringkjoebing Landbobank's current board of directors has extensive managerial experi- ence and insight, but none of its members has the formal qualifications as prescribed by the FSA. Proposed change to the board of directors Although the current board of directors is fully qualified with respect to its duties, it is very much wished that in future, the board can comply with the expectation of at least one member with managerial experience in the financial sector. Board member Keld Hansen has advised that he wishes to retire in connection with the next general meeting and election of the board of directors. The board wishes that the vacancy be filled by a member with managerial experience in the financial sector. The bank has accordingly had some discussions with Joergen Lund, age 63, who, after a long career in a number of managerial posts in Jyske Bank, elected to retire from his permanent position with the latter bank. Mr Lund has declared his willingness to accept a position on the board of directors of Ringkjoebing Landbobank. Mr Lund will replace Keld Hansen, grocer, of Soendervig, who is retiring at the next general meeting after 11 years on the bank's board of directors. Proposed change to election procedure for the board of directors The bank's articles of association currently prescribe that members of the board of direc- tors be elected by the shareholders' committee from among the committee's members. This procedure can make it difficult to ensure that the board has members with special expertise - e.g. members with managerial experience from a financial company. The board of directors and the shareholders' committee have therefore decided to recom- mend a change in the articles of association for approval by the general meeting in 2013 to enable the shareholders' committee to elect board members who are not mem- bers of the committee. Payment policy The remuneration policy for management and the board of directors of Ringkjoebing Landbobank is that the bank's management is paid remuneration which is both in line with the market and reflects the management's achievements for the bank. It has also been decided that the remuneration paid to management and the board of directors should be a fixed amount without any form of incentive component. Neither will others involved in risk taking and employees in control functions be paid variable salary com- ponents outside the framework of the collective agreement which was entered into Supplementary information on members of management, including other managerial activities Reference is made to pages 85 - 87 of this annual report for supplementary information on the bank's management, including information on their other managerial activities. Information on listed companies In accordance with Section 133a of the statutory order on financial reports for credit institutions etc., we advise as follows: The bank's share capital on 31 December 2012 was DKK 24.7 million in 4,940,000 nom. DKK 5 shares. The bank has only one share class, and the entire share capital, and thus all shares, are listed on the NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen. There are no restrictions on the shares' nego- tiability. ATP, Hilleroed and Parvus Asset Management (UK) LLP have advised that they own more than 5% of the bank's share capital. The following applies to exercising the right to vote: Each shareholding up to and including nom. DKK 500 carries one vote, and sharehold- ings above this level carry a total of two votes, which is the highest number of votes a shareholder can exercise when the shares are listed in the company's register of share- holders or when the shareholder has reported and documented his or her right. The members of the bank's board of directors are elected by and from among the mem- bers of the bank's shareholders' committee.

The board of directors has the following powers with respect to the possibility of issuing shares (as per the articles of association): Following consultation with the shareholders' committee, the board of directors is authorised to increase the share capital by nom. DKK 14,210,980 to nom. DKK 38,910,980 in one or more rounds. This authorisation is currently valid until 24 February 2017. The board of directors has the following powers with respect to the possibility of acquir- ing own shares: The bank's annual general meeting of 29 February 2012 has authorised the board of directors, before the next annual general meeting and in accordance with applicable law, to permit the bank to acquire its own shares to a total nominal value of 10% of the bank's share capital, such that the shares can be acquired at the current listed price +/- 10%. At last year's general meeting, the board was also authorised to buy 100,000 shares. This authorisation is expected to be fully used before this year's general meeting.

The annual financial statements was prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Act on Financial Activities and other Danish requirements regarding information in the annual financial statements of listed financial companies. We consider the chosen accounting policies to be appropriate and the esti- mates made to be responsible, so that the annual report provides a true and fair picture of the bank's assets, liabilities and financial position as of 31 December 2012 and the result of the bank's activities and cash flows for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2012. We also believe that the manage- ment report contains a true and fair account of the bank's activities and financial position as well as a description of the most important risks and uncertainties which can affect the bank. The annual report is recommended for approval by the general meeting. Ringkoebing, 30 January 2013 Management: John Bull Fisker CEO Ringkoebing, 30 January 2013 Board of directors: Jens Lykke Kjeldsen Gravers Kjaergaard Chairman Deputy Chairman Gert Asmussen Inge Sandgrav Bak Keld Hansen Martin Krogh Pedersen Bo Bennedsgaard Gitte E. S. Vigsoe Employee board member Employee board member Internal auditor's declarations To the shareholders of Ringkjoebing Landbobank A/S Certification of the annual financial statements I have audited the annual financial statements of Ringkjoebing Landbobank A/S for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2012, covering the profit and loss account and the statement of total income, core result, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, statement of capital adequacy, cash flow statement and notes, including accounting policies and five years' main and key figures. The annual financial statements were prepared in accordance with the Danish Act on Financial Activities. The audit The audit was performed on the basis of the Danish FSA's statutory order on the auditing of financial companies etc. and in accordance with international auditing standards. This requires that the audit be planned and performed to achieve a high degree of assurance that the financial statements do not contain material misstatements. The audit was performed in accordance with the division of labour agreed with the external auditor, and included an assessment of established procedures and internal checks and balances, including the risk management set by management with respect to reporting processes and material business risks. I have made a random sampling of the basis for amounts and other information in the financial state- ments on grounds of probability and risk. The audit also included an assessment of whether manage- ment's choice of accounting policies is appropriate, whether management's accounting estimates are reasonable, and the total presentation of the financial statements. I participated in the audit of all material and risk areas, and I believe that the basis for the audit is ad- equate and appropriate for my conclusion. Our audit did not give rise to any qualifications. Conclusion I believe that the established procedures and internal controls, including the risk management chosen by management for the bank's reporting processes and material business risks, are functioning satisfac- torily. I also believe that the annual financial statements provide a true and fair picture of the bank's assets, liabilities and financial position as of 31 December 2012 and of the result of the bank's activities and cash flows for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2012 in accordance with the Danish act on financial activities. Statement on management report As required under the act on financial activities, I have read management's report. I have not performed any further actions in addition to the audit of the annual financial statements. On this basis, I believe that the information in management's report is in agreement with the annual financial statements. Ringkoebing, 30 January 2013 Henrik Haugaard Chief auditor The independent auditor's declaration To the shareholders of Ringkjoebing Landbobank A/S Endorsement of the annual financial statements We have audited the annual financial statements for Ringkjoebing Landbobank A/S for the financial year 1 January -31 December 2012, covering the profit and loss account and the statement of total gains and losses, the core earnings, balance sheet, statement of equity, the capital adequacy ratio, the cash flow statement and notes, including the accounting policy and five years' main and key figures. The an- nual financial statements were prepared in accordance with the Danish act on financial activities. Management's responsibility for the annual financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation of annual financial statements which provide a true and fair picture in accordance with the act on financial activities. Management is also responsible for the internal controls deemed necessary to prepare annual financial statements without material misstate- ments, whether attributable to fraud or error. The auditor's responsibility Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the annual financial statements on the basis of our audit. We performed the audit in accordance with international auditing standards and additional require- ments under Danish auditing law. These require that we observe ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit in order to achieve a high degree of assurance that the annual financial statements do not contain material misstatements. An audit covers the performance of auditing actions to gain evidence for amounts and information in the financial statements. The chosen actions depend on the auditor's assessment, including an assess- ment of risks of material misstatements in the financial statements whether attributable to fraud of error. In the risk assessment, the auditor considers internal controls that are relevant for the company's preparation of annual financial statements which provide a true and fair picture. The object is to design audit actions which are appropriate under the circumstances, but not to express a conclusion on the effectiveness of the company's internal controls. An audit also includes an assessment of whether management's choice of accounting policies is appropriate and whether management's estimates are reasonable, as well as an assessment of the total presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the evidence we obtained for our audit is an appropriate basis for our conclusion. Our audit did not give rise to any qualifications. Conclusion We believe that the annual financial statements provide a true and fair picture of the company's assets, liabilities and financial position as of 31 December 2012 and of the result of the company's activities and cash flows for the financial year 1 January-31 December 2012 in accordance with the act on finan- cial activities. Statement on the management report In accordance with the act on financial activities, we have read the management report. We have not performed any further actions in addition to the audit of the annual financial statements. We believe on this basis that the information in the management report is in accordance with the annual financial statements.

requirements of NASDAQ
OMX Copenhagen (Copenhagen Stock Exchange), to the extent to which the Danish
Financial Business
Act, the Executive Order on Financial Reports for Credit Institutions and
Investment Companies etc.
or other Executive Orders from the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority do
not specify a different

The annual report is presented in DKK rounded to the nearest 1,000 kroner. The
accounting policies are unchanged relative to last year.
Inclusion and measuring - general
Assets are included in the balance sheet when it is probable that future
financial advantages will accrue
to the bank and the value can be measured reliably. Liabilities are included in
the balance sheet, when
they are probable, and that they can be measured reliably.
Income is included in the profit and loss account in step with its earning.
Costs paid to achieve the income for the year are included in the profit and
loss account, and value adjustments made to financial assets, financial
liabilities and derivative financial instruments are also included in the
profit and loss account.
Regarding the criteria for inclusion and the basis of measurement we refer to
the following sections.
Accounting estimates
In computing the book value of certain assets and liabilities, an estimate has
been made of how future

events will affect the value of the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet date. The estimates made are based on assumptions which management judges to be responsible, but which are not certain. The final actual results may thus deviate from the estimates as the bank is subject to risks and uncertainties which can affect the results. The most important estimates concern write-downs on loans and debtors, computation of current values for unlisted financial instruments, and provisions for liabilities. The most important estimates on write-downs on loans and debtors are associated with quantification of the risk that no future payments will be received. Foreign currency Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are converted to Danish kroner at the closing exchange rate for the currency on balance sheet date, corresponding to the rate published by the Central Bank of Den- mark. Income and expenses are converted continuously at the exchange rate on the transaction date. Financial instruments - general In general, the bank measures financial assets and liabilities at current value on first inclusion. Measuring is subsequently made at current value unless otherwise specifically emerges from the following sections on the individual accounts items. The bank uses the date of payment as the date of entry for financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments Forward transactions, interest rate swaps and other derivative financial instruments are included at cur- rent value on balance sheet date. Hedging transactions which, under the terms of the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority's Executive Order on Financial Reports for Credit Institutions and Investment Companies etc. are regarded as hedg- ing at current value for accounting purposes are included at current value on the balance sheet date with respect to both the hedging instrument and the hedged part of the financial instrument. All value adjustments concerning derivative financial instruments and items subject to hedging for ac- counting purposes are entered under the item >>Value adjustments<< in the profit and loss account. The profit and loss account Interest income Interest income is included on the basis of the effective interest method, under which interest income also includes the allocated portion of establishment fees etc. which are considered to be a part of the effective interest on the loan. On loans which in full or in part have been written down, the interest income relating to the written- down part is entered under the item >>Write-downs on loans and debtors etc.<<. Income from fees and commissions, net Fees and commissions relating to loans and receivables are recognized as part of the carrying amount of loans and receivables and are recognized in the profit and loss account over the term of the loans and receivables as part of the effective interest rate on the loans as interest income, as referred to in the above section >>Interest income<<. Commissions relating to garantees are carried to income over the term of the garantees. Income generated upon performing a given transaction, including securities and custodianship fees plus payment handling fees, are recognised as income when the transaction has been performed. Staff and administration costs Staff and administration costs comprise among other things salaries, pension costs, IT-costs, etc. Write-downs on loans and debtors etc. This item includes losses and write-downs on loans and other debtors and losses and provisions on guarantees. The item also includes losses and write-downs on claims on credit institutions and losses and provisions on the national bank package I. Tax Tax on the profit for the year is booked as a cost in the profit and loss account. Net deferred tax is calculated on the items which cover the temporary differences in accounting and booking of taxable income and expenses at the tax rate applicable on the balance sheet date. Core earnings The core earnings show a statement of the bank's income and costs. In total, the core earnings contain the same items as the profit and loss account but with a different degree of specification. The statement divides the year's result into three main elements; core earnings, result for the portfolio, and costs of the Guarantee Fund for Depositors and Investors. Interest and dividends are included in the result for the portfolio and funding costs for the bank's trading portfolio and extraordinary adjustments to sector shares are deducted. The balance sheet Claims on credit institutions and central banks The first inclusion is made at current value plus transactions costs, less establishment fees etc., and subsequent measurement is at amortised cost price, but reference is made to the section >>Derivative financial instruments<< with respect to hedging for accounting purposes. Loans and other debtors The first inclusion is made at current value plus transaction costs, less establishment fees etc., and subsequent measurement is at amortised cost price. Establishment fees etc. which are comparable with ongoing interest payments, and are thus deemed to be an integral part of the effective interest on the loan, are accrued over the life of the individual loan. If an objective indication of impairment is found on an individually assessed loan, a write-down is made to cover the bank's loss on the basis of expected future payments series based on an assessment of the most likely outcome. With respect to loans and receivables which have not been written down individually, a group-wise as- sessment is made of whether there is an objective indication of impairment in value for the group. This group-wise assessment is made on groups of loans and debtors with uniform characteristics with respect to credit risk. 12 groups are used, one of public clients, one of private clients and 10 of business clients, the latter further grouped by sector. The group-wise assessment is made on the basis of a segmentation model developed by the Association of Local Banks, Savings Banks and Cooperative Savings Banks in Denmark, which undertakes the ongoing maintenance and development. The segmentation model sets the relationship in the individual groups between losses suffered and a number of significant explanatory macroeconomic variables via a linear regression analysis. The explanatory macroeconomic variables include unemployment, house prices, interest rates, number of bankruptcies/forced auctions etc. The macroeconomic segmentation model is initially calculated on the basis of loss data for the entire banking sector. The bank has therefore made an assessment of whether the model estimates reflect the credit risk for the bank's own loan portfolio. This assessment has resulted in an adaptation of the estimates under the model to the bank's own circumstances, under which the adapted estimates form the basis for calculation of the group write- downs. The adjusted estimates were further corrected to take account of the changed economic conditions. For each group of loans and debtors, there is an estimate which expresses the percentage decrease in value associated with a given group of loans and debtors on the balance sheet date. A comparison of the individual loan's current risk of loss with the loan's original risk of loss and its risk of loss at the beginning of the current accounting period provides the individual loan's contribution to the group write-downs. The write-down is calculated as the difference between the book value and the discounted value of the expected future payments. Changes in write-downs which have been made are adjusted in the profit and loss account under the item >>Write-downs on loans and debtors etc.<<. Bonds and shares Securities which are listed on a stock exchange are included at current value, determined on the basis of the closing price on balance sheet date. Unlisted securities are also included at current value, computed on the basis of what the price would be in a transaction between independent parties. The management takes an active approach to the calculation of this market value. All ongoing value adjustments to listed and unlisted securities are entered in operations under the item >>Value adjustments<<. Capital shares in associated companies Capital shares in associated companies are entered in the balance sheet under the intrinsic value method. Land and buildings Land and buildings cover the two items >>Investment properties<< and >>Domicile properties<<. The prop- erties which house the bank's branches are included under domicile properties, while other properties are considered to be investment properties. Investment properties are included in the balance sheet at current value, computed under the yield method. Ongoing changes in value concerning investment properties are included in the profit and loss account. Domicile properties are included in the balance sheet at reassessed value, which is the current value computed on the basis of the yield method less cumulative depreciation and any loss due to impairment. Depreciation is calculated on the basis of expected useful life, which is 50 years, on the basis of depreciation computed as cost price less scrap value. Depreciations and losses due to impairment are included in the profit and loss account, while increases in the reassessed value are included directly on the shareholders' equity under the item >>Provisions for revaluation<< unless the increase corresponds to a reduction in value which was previously included in the profit and loss account. Other tangible assets Other tangible assets including operating equipment are included in the balance sheet at cost price less cumulative depreciation and write-downs for any loss due to impairment. Depreciations are calculated on the basis of the assets' expected lives, which are 1-5 years, on the basis of depreciation computed as cost price less scrap value. Depreciations and losses due to impairment are

included in the profit and loss account. Temporary assets Temporary assets comprise assets taken over as a result of the unwinding of customer engagements, the intention being to sell off the assets as soon as possible. Temporary assets are included at cost price on transfer and will subsequently be written down to a possibly lower realisation value. Other assets Other assets include interest and commissions receivable as well as the positive market value of deriva- tive financial instruments. Tax Actual tax assets and actual tax liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet as tax calculated on the taxable income for the year, adjusted for tax paid on account. A deferred tax liability is allocated under the item >>Provisions for deferred tax<< and if a deferred tax as- set is booked under the item >>Deferred tax assets<< following a cautious assessment of the asset's value. Debt to credit institutions and central banks / Deposits and other debts / Issued bonds at amor- tised cost price / Subordinated debt Measurement is at amortised cost price, but reference is made to the section >>Derivative financial in- struments<< with respect to hedging for accounting purposes. Other liabilities Other liabilities include interest and commissions payable and the negative marked value of derivative financial instruments. Provisions for liabilities Provisions for liabilities include mainly provisions for pensions, deferred tax and losses on guarantees. A provision is recognized in respect of a guarantee or an irrevocable credit commitment if it is likely that the guarantee or the credit commitment will be exercised and the amount of the commitment can be reliably determined. Provisions are based on Management's best estimate of the amount of the commitments. In measuring provisions for liabilities, discounting to net present value is made where deemed material. Various informations Contingent liabilities/guarantees The bank's outstanding guarantees are given in the notes under the item >>Contingent liabilities<<. If it is considered likely that an outstanding guarantee will incur a loss to the bank, the liability is given under the item >>Provisions for losses on guarantees<< and booked under costs in the profit and loss account under the item >>Write-downs on loans and debtors etc.<< Cash flow statement The cash flow statement is presented in accordance with the indirect method on the basis of the result for the year, adjusted for non-liquid items. The statement shows net changes in the balance sheet, and on some points it will therefore not provide the full picture of the actual cash flows. The cash flows from the operating activity are computed as the result for the year, adjusted for non- liquid items and changes in operating capital. Cash flows from the investment activity cover purchases and sale of fixed assets etc. Cash flows from the financing activity cover movements and allocations in subordinated debt and in shareholders' equity. Liquid assets cover cash in hand, claims at call on the Central Bank of Denmark, fully secured and liquid claims at call on banks, unpledged certificates of deposit issued by the Central Bank of Denmark, and secure and easily saleable listed unpledged securities, under Section 152 of the Danish Financial Business Act. Information and key figures >>Total capital base<< on page 3 under >>Main figures for the bank<< is computed as the banks capital base after deductions. The >>Pre-tax return on equity at the beginning of the year<<, and the >>Return on equity after tax at the beginning of the year<< as given on page 3 under >>Key figures for the bank<< were calculated after deduction of dividend etc., net. >>Key figures per DKK 5 share<< on page 3 were calculated on the basis of 2012: 4,840,000 shares, 2011: 4,940,000 shares and 2008 to 2010: 5,040,000 shares. All calculations etc. concerning write-downs on pages 3, 8 and 20 were made exclusive of amounts under the national bank package I etc. With effect from 2008, the bank changed the calculation of the key figure >>Rate of costs<<. The key figure is now calculated as >>Total costs etc.<< (including depreciation on tangible fixed assets) divided by >>Total core income<< multiplied by 100. The comparative figures on the pages 3 and 7 have been adjusted for the change method of calculation. The key figure 'Total large exposures' have been corrected for 2011 and 2010 so that outstanding accounts of less than one billion kroner with credit institutions are not included under major commit- ments as per the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority guideline on the reporting of accounts. It is noted, that the individual solvency requirement (reported at page 12, 16 and 17) not is audited. Note 2012 2011 no.

35 Current value of financial instruments
Financial instruments are measured in the balance sheet at either current value
or amortised cost
price (with consideration to risk cover that fulfil the conditions applying to
hedging).
The current value is the amount at which a financial asset can be sold or the
amount at which a financial liability can be redeemed between agreed
independent parties. The current values of financial assets and liabilities
valued on active markets are calculated on the basis of observed market prices
on the balance sheet date. The current values of financial instruments which
are not valued on active markets are calculated on the basis of generally
recognised methods of valuation.
Shares etc. and derivative financial instruments are measured in the accounts
at market value
such that included book values correspond to current values.
The write-downs on loans are assessed such that they correspond to changes in
credit quality. The difference from current value is assessed as fees and
commissions received, costs incurred in lending activities, and, for
fixed-interest loans, the value adjustment which is independent of the interest
level and which can be calculated by comparing the actual market interest rate
with the nominal rate applying to the loans.
The current value of claims on credit institutions and central banks is
determined under the same method as for loans, but the bank has not currently
made any write-downs on claims on credit institutions and central banks.
Issued bonds and subordinated debt are measured at amortised cost price. The
difference be- tween book and current values is calculated on the basis of
prices on the market for own listed issues.
For variable-interest financial liabilities in the form of deposits and debts
to credit institutions measured at amortised cost price, it is estimated that
the book value corresponds to the current value.
For fixed-interest financial liabilities in the form of deposits and debts to
credit institutions measured at amortised cost price, the difference from
current values is estimated to be the value adjustment which is independent of
interest level.

Comments on distribution by business
In historical terms, Ringkjoebing Landbobank has always been run on the basis of
a conservative
credit policy. In the bank's judgment, this is reflected in the quality of the
bank's loans, which
is generally judged to be high. Solvency among the bank's customers is
generally good, and
in combination with the bank's robust covering of many commitments, the result
is low credit
risks.
Private customers comprise a total of 25.6% of Ringkjoebing Landbobank's total
loans and guarantees. Most of these customers are in the bank's core area in
central and western Jutland, and the quality of their credit is good. This good
quality is attributable among other things to
a moderately negative trend in the prices of real estate and a lower proportion
of income spent on housing - lower than in eastern Jutland and the capital city
area. The primary security given by private customers consists of security in
real estate (private homes).
The bank has a well-diversified agricultural portfolio with 2.6% of total loans
and guarantees on
pig farmers, 3.0% on cattle and 4.2% on others.
The economic conditions for agriculture as a whole remain difficult, and
although the bank's farming customers have relatively less debt than the
agricultural sector as a whole, it is a difficult situation. Some segments
have, however, experienced improved terms of trade in 2012 relative to the
previous years.
In general, earnings in agriculture are, however, still weak, and the bank has
set aside consider- able provisions for this sector.
Note no.
38 Credit risk - continued
The security consists primarily of mortgages in the farms (land, buildings and
the other produc- tion equipment) plus transfer of hectare support and other
payments etc.
Loans to energy supply companies total 21.5%. This is thus the sector with the
greatest propor- tion of the bank's loans. Most of the exposure in this sector
is on the financing of wind turbines, which has been a core area in the bank
for more than 20 years. Exposure to energy supply companies abroad is mostly to
wind turbines erected in Germany.
The bank's concept for financing wind turbines is based on senior financing.
The concept includes a legal and commercial due diligence, which provides a
high degree of security. Fixed payment prices on the German market provide
additional security that the bank can be repaid. The losses suffered by the
bank in this sector have been minimal, and the financial crisis has confirmed
that the risk in this sector is limited. Security is primarily provided by a
first preferred mortgage in the turbines and transfer of electricity payments
and any subsidies.
Real estate accounts for a total of 12.2% of the bank's total loans and
guarantees. This is a rela- tively modest proportion compared with other
financial institutions, and this reflects the bank's cautious approach to this
sector. The loan and the security are mainly in the following groups:
- Loans with first preferential security in the property (most of the loans)
- Loans with second preferential security in the property and strong tenant
with irrevocable
lease.
In connection with other mortgage financing, the bank places weight on the
project's ability to
pay off the debt before termination of the lease.
Both types of loan have demonstrated their strength during the financial
crisis, and the bank is
comfortable with them.
Financing and insurance account for a total of 11.7% of the bank's total loans
and guarantees, and cover, among other things, exposure to financially solid
counterparties and the bank's con- cept for lending on securities. The primary
security under this concept consists of listed securi- ties. The concept has
clearly demonstrated its strength in the particularly volatile periods on the
financial markets occasioned by the financial crisis
Security
Ringkjoebing Landbobank wishes, to the greatest possible extent, to reduce the
risk in connec- tion with business transactions entered into with the bank's
customers by taking security in the form of a mortgage in physical assets,
securities, bank balances etc. and guarantees, sureties and letters of
subordination. The most commonly used security is securities and cash, mortgage
in real estate and chattels personal.
The bank monitors the value of securities which have been received. The bank
takes a conserva- tive approach to assessing the loan value of security
received. A deduction in the value is thus always made to cover the realisation
risk, costs etc. The following table shows nominal secu-
rity values, i.e. the value of the nominal mortgage without any reduction. A
reduction can be relevant if the actual value of an asset is insufficient to
ensure the full value of a mortgage in the event of realisation.

38 Credit risk - continued
The credit quality of loans and guarantees which are neither in arrears nor
have been writ-
ten down
The bank has credit ratings on a large number of customers. For private and
small business customers, the rating is based on statistical models (based on
the probability of default), while there is an expert model for major
customers.
The statistical models include 7 - 10 different factors, including information
on the customer's assets and a quantity of behavioural data. These items are
selected from a large number of pos- sible factors which best describe
previously unsatisfied commitments.
The expert model for business customers is based on information on the
customer's creditwor- thiness and earning capacity. The model is a general
model used for business as a whole. The model has three variants which are
particularly to exposure to credit for wind turbines, agricul- ture and real
estate.
As indicated in the figure below, 62% of loans and guarantees without
write-downs or arrears have a high credit quality as against 57% in 2011. The
proportion of customers with low credit quality increased from 7% to 12% via a
reduction in the unclassified commitments, and the middle-ranking group was
reduced. The year has thus seen a certain polarisation of customers without
write-downs or arrears, but in general the bank finds the total quality stable.
Unclassified commitments amount to DKK 0.5 billion. These consist mainly of
small business
customers and they cover a wide range of sectors.

The bank is particularly focused on covering the risk on commitments which have
been written down. Under the bank's credit policy, these commitments must be
covered to the greatest possible extent
by securities. When determining the need for a write-down, the value of
securities is included at the prudently expected net realisation value. The
bank only includes the ability to make payments over and above the value of
securities to a modest extent when determining the need for a write-down.

41 Value at Risk/Market risk
Ringkjoebing Landbobank uses a Value at Risk (VaR) model as a sensitivity
analysis for market risks. The model is a parametric VaR model based on a
historic analysis of the covariation (the correlations) between the prices of
various fi nancial assets etc. The model combines the histori- cal knowledge of
the covariation on the fi nancial markets with the bank's current positions,
and on this basis calculates the risk of losses for a forthcoming ten-day
period. The calculation includes the bank's positions with respect to interest,
foreign currencies and listed shares, while positions in sector shares and
unlisted capital shares are not included. The calculated VaR thus
indicates the bank's sensitivity to losses on the basis of its positions. The
model is used as one of a number of tools in the bank's management of market
risks.
Reference is made to pages 26 - 27 of this annual report for further
description of the model etc.
