The Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA) has in connection with an
updated assessment of risk and capital needs in Lea bank ASA ("SREP") made a
decision on the capital requirement in Pillar 2 and the expected capital buffer.
The Pillar 2 requirement and the expected capital buffer are in addition to the
capital requirements under Pillar 1.
The FSA has decided that the Pillar 2 requirement for Lea bank ASA shall be
reduced from 6.5 % to 5.1 % of the total risk exposure amount. 100 % of the
requirement must be covered with Core Equity Tier 1 (CET1).
The FSA also expects Lea bank to have a capital buffer of 2 % of the total risk
exposure amount. 100 % of the requirement must be covered with Core Equity Tier
1 (CET1).
The new requirement will apply from 30 June 2024.
