The Board has decided to convene an extraordinary shareholders' meeting in Fionia Holding A/S, CVR No 14669000, on Thursday 1st October 2009 at 16:00 hrs. The extraordinary shareholders' meeting will be held at Fionia Park, Højstrupvej 5, DK-5200 Odense V. Agenda 1) Approval of the agreement of sale of shares in Fionia Bank A/S. 2) Change of §1.3 of the statutes, see below. 3) Miscellaneous. The reason for the Board to convene an extraordinary shareholders' meeting is as follows: If the sale of the shares in Fionia Bank A/S is approved at the extraordinary shareholders' meeting there is a possibility that the price that Nordea will pay for the acquisition of the healthy parts of Fionia Bank A/S will be increased by an amount of approx. DKK 200 mio., which - ceteris paribus - will increase the possibility that there may be full or partial coverage of the subordinated capital and possibly an amount to the shareholders. The sale requires a change in the objects clause of Fionia Holding A/S. Current wording of §1.3: "The company's purpose is to own shares in Fionia Bank A/S and related activities according to the Board's discretion". The Board proposes that § 1.3 reads as follows: "The company's purpose is to operate the business in connection with the liquidation after the sale of the subsidiary bank". The complete draft of the statutes will be available at the company's office, Vestre Stationsvej 7, 5000 Odense C no later than 8 days before the meeting. Access to the extraordinary shareholders' meeting requires that a shareholder no later than 5 days before the meeting has obtained an admission card, which can be ordered at www.fioniaholding.dk. Credentials may also be made on this site. Odense, 17 September 2009 The Board
