   Sampo has received the approval for the termination of FICO 
 
   As announced on 7 August 2019, Sampo plc distributed an extra dividend 
in the form of Nordea Bank Abp shares. As a result of the distribution, 
Sampo's ownership in Nordea decreased below 20 percent and Sampo filed 
an application with the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority for the 
termination of the Financial and Insurance Conglomerate (FICO) rules. 
 
   The Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority has today approved the 
application. Henceforth, Sampo Group's solvency will be calculated only 
by the Solvency II rules.
