   Mandatum Life and Danske Bank continue co-operation as agreed 
 
   Mandatum Life Insurance Company Limited (Mandatum Life) disclosed on 24 
April 2018 that Mandatum Life and Danske Bank have agreed to continue 
their co-operation regarding the distribution and management of 
insurance products and the cancellation of the earlier agreed transfer 
of the insurance portfolio distributed by Danske Bank. The agreed 
transaction was subject to confirmation of the tax treatment. 
 
   Mandatum Life received a negative pre-ruling on the tax treatment of the 
transaction on 29 May 2018. However, Mandatum Life and Danske Bank have 
today agreed to continue their co-operation as agreed. 
 
   The parties of the transaction will appeal against the pre-ruling. If 
the tax treatment remains negative, Mandatum Life's financial risk is 
EUR 13 million. 
 
   Danske Bank will pay the agreed transaction price of EUR 197 million by 
the end of June 2018.
