Dynamic deposit – Higher profit opportunities, guaranteed principal amount • What is a dynamic deposit? A dynamic deposit is an investment which gives you the opportunity to invest free funds for a specific period of time with larger profit opportunities and guaranteed deposit amount at the end of the investment period. Contrary to a term deposit, the upside potential is unlimited and depends on the return of the underlying asset in the financial markets. • Higher profitability. The interest earned potentially can be much higher than interest on a term deposit. However, under unfavorable market conditions, the deposit does not bring any interest. • Guarantee and safety. The amount of your deposit is absolutely safe – the bank guarantees that it will return 100% of the invested deposit amount at deposit maturity even if the value of the financial assets to which deposit is linked at the maturity date will be below the initial value. Deposit can be concluded with risk premium – additional payment of 10% from deposit amount which increases participation rate. Risk premium is not returned at deposit maturity. In case of early termination of the agreement the termination fee can be applied. • There is no fee for concluding Dynamic deposit agreement. August offer – “Developed countries” • Deposit selling period – 17 August 2010 to 20 September 2010. • Deposit period – 3 years. • Minimum amounts – 200 LVL, 300 EUR. There are four alternatives: • Deposit in LVL without risk premium, participation rate: 65-85%; • Deposit in LVL with 10% risk premium, participation rate: 120-150%; • Deposit in EUR without risk premium, participation rate: 30-50%; • Deposit in EUR with 10% risk premium, participation rate: 85-115%. Participation rate is set as an interval given that its precise size will be defined after successful subscription of deposits and will be announced on Bank’s website www.swedbank.lv on 27 September 2010. Participation rate indicates which part of rise of the index will be distributed to investor. Dynamic deposit is linked to three major developed equity markets – Western Europe, US and Japan. Underlying assets of the deposit is a basket of the index and exchange traded funds (ETFs): • Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50 (Price) Index; • Exchange traded fund SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust; • Exchange traded fund iShares MSCI Japan Index Fund. Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50 (Price) Index covers 50 stocks from 12 Euro zone countries. Exchange traded fund SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust tracks the performance of US equity index S&P 500 which is widely regarded as best gauge of the US equity market and is one of the major indices in the world while iShares MSCI Japan Index Fund tracks the performance of MSCI Japan Index. Example: Let‘s assume the following final participation rates were approved for the dynamic deposits: for deposit without risk premium – in LVL 75%, in EUR - 40%; for deposit with 10% risk premium - in LVL 135%, in EUR - 100%.

Why is it worth to invest in dynamic deposits “Developed countries”? • Recently almost all measures of economic activity around the globe show positive tendencies. GDP growth, unemployment, business and consumer confidence, housing market and other indicators are stabilizing or improving in many countries. These tendencies are reflected in equity market as well, with major world equity indices being on a rising trend for more than a year. • According to International Monetary Fund (IMF), global economy recovery in continuing. IMF sees global growth to be 4.5% this year and 4.25% next year. That means that stimulus measures provided by world governments bear results and worst is over for the world economy. • Central banks of the three regions further pursue policy of historically low interest rates. Analysts do not forecast interest rates hikes in near future. That shows that central banks do not risk withdrawing support for economy too early and are waiting until recovery has strong footing. All these factors are positive for equity markets and should lift their prices further.
