and

• On 1 September 2017, Moody’s affirmed Swedbank's ratings at Aa3/P-1 with a stable outlook. The ratings reflect Swedbank’s
strong credit quality, solid regulatory capital and stable earnings, underpinned by its established franchise in Sweden. Swedbank is
also expected to be broadly resilient to the risks in the residential housing market and household sector in Sweden.
• May 26, 2016, Fitch upgraded the rating to AA- from A+, with a stable outlook. The main drivers behind the upgrade
are: Execution of the low risk strategy including conservative risk-returns and underwriting standards, strong retail
franchise and continued strong capitalisation.
• November 24, 2017, S&P affirmed the rating of Swedbank at AA-/A-1+, with a stable outlook. The rating reflect Swedbank’s
strong business position, given the market-leading retail position, strong revenue performance, and efficiency, as well as prudent
management and strategy. S&P also assess the capital and earnings as strong, reflecting the strong earnings capacity. The stable
outlook on Swedbank resilient earnings and capital as Sweden's economy benefits from improvements in Europe's economic
environment and the domestic housing market adjusts to higher volumes and stricter amortization requirements.

44Overview of the Swedish covered bond legislation
The Covered Bond Act entered into force on July 1, 2004 and is over-sighted by the Swedish FSA. Its main
characteristics are:
Dual recourse to the issuer and cover pool
The Covered Bond Act Dynamic, regulated pool of assets, frequently monitored by the Swedish FSA via appointment of an
independent inspector
Regulated valuation of cover pool assets which remain on the balance sheet
The cover pool may consist of certain mortgage credits, public credits and supplemental assets. There is no
requirement to segregate mortgage and public credits.
Maximum LTVs: Residential 75%, Agricultural 70%, Commercial 60%
Loan-to-value ratios and Maximum 10% commercial loans and 20% supplemental assets in cover pool
other limitations Regular monitoring of the property values, revaluation of property prices in case of significant drop (generally
interpreted as 15% drop)
The S.O. Act amended, effective as of 21 June 2016, requires that the nominal value of the cover pool shall, at all
times, be at least two per cent. higher than the aggregate nominal value of the liabilities relating to the covered
bonds..
Regional constraint on collateral assets (Mortgage - EEA, Public - OECD)
Matching requirements The cover pool value shall always exceed the aggregate value of claims (including derivatives)
A sound balance in terms of FX, interest rates and maturities must be achieved. It is deemed to exist when the
present value of the cover pool at all times exceed the present value of liabilities (including derivatives), even on a
stressed basis. Present value cover must hold even after 1% upward and downward shift in the yield curve and a
10% change in the currency
Non-performing assets in the cover pool which are more than 60 days overdue must be disregarded for the
purposes of the matching tests
Benefit of a priority right
over the cover pool Holders of covered bonds and relevant derivative counterparties benefit from a priority claim over the cover pool
should the institution be declared bankrupt and rank pari passu ahead of unsecured creditors and all other creditors
of the institution in respect of assets in the cover pool
The registered assets in the cover pool, the covered bonds and any relevant derivative contracts are required to be
