7 Green Bond Framework
8 SMN Green Bond Framework Highlights Rationale for structuring a Green Bond Framework Green Bonds contribute to global and national environmental objectives Close alignment with sustainability ambitions of SMN s corporate clients in Central Norway Contribution and alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG s) Highlighting SpareBank 1 SMN s sustainability strategy to capital market participants Green bonds will help to diversify SMN s investor base and to broaden dialogue to existing investors Addressing the call for more sustainable assets Addressing increasing demand for more sustainable assets by responsible investors Supporting customers environmental values SMN Green Bond Framework Highlights Use of Proceeds: Energy efficient commercial buildings (methodology from Nordic building consultant: Multiconsult) Sustainability certifications Sustainable Fisheries, Aquaculture and Agriculture (MSC, ASC, BAP and Global GAP certifications) Eco-efficiency lending (Eco-Lighthouse and Nordic Swan certifications) The Green Bond Framework adheres to the latest edition of the Green Bond Principles (June, 2018) 1 Sustainalytics has given a positive opinion on the Green Bond Framework 8 1 Published by the International Capital Markets Association
9 UN Sustainable Development Goals Contribution of the Framework to the SDGs Financing of sustainable fisheries, aquaculture and agriculture SDG 14 aims by 2025, to prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution Finances loans for energy efficient commercial buildings in Norway The most energy efficient commercial buildings in Norway will only be considered, and the methodology is in line with the Climate Bond Initiative standard As per target 7.3, this will contribute to doubling the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency by 2030 As per target 11C, SMN directly supports the financing of green buildings Finances companies with selected sustainability certifications on products, processes or buildings Through the use of established eco-labelling schemes in Norway, SMN contributes to the prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse, of processes, which can be typically wasteful and not sustainable, as per target 12.5 In keeping with target 8.4, SMN is supporting the global endeavour to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation 9
10 The four pillars of the Green Bond Framework Project Management Use of Proceeds Evaluation & Selection of Proceeds Reporting The net proceeds of the Green Bonds will be allocated to a Green Loan Portfolio consisting of: Green buildings Lending to companies (mainly SME s) with selected sustainability certifications: Sustainable Fisheries, Aquaculture and Agriculture Eco-efficient and/or circular economy adapted products, production technology and processes Eligibility Criteria: Green Buildings: New or existing buildings belonging to the top 15% lowcarbon buildings in Norway 2 Certified buildings: LEED Gold, BREEAM or BREEAM- NOR Excellent and Nordic Swan Ecolabel Refurbished buildings with an improved energy efficiency of at least 30% 2 Loans to enterprises with selected sustainability certifications The proceeds of the Green Bond will be managed in a portfolio approach SMN will ensure that, at all times, the balance of Eligible Green Loans matches or exceeds the total balance of its outstanding Green Bonds SMN will remove from the Eligible Green Loan Portfolio the loans that cease to be eligible and replace them when necessary for the balance, as soon as reasonably practicable Reporting will be based on the Eligible Green Loan Portfolio, which will be aggregated for all outstanding Green Bonds Post issuance disclosures will cover both allocation and impact reporting Impact reporting available at issuance 10 2 In accordance with the methodology defined by Multiconsult

Sustainable Fisheries, Aquaculture & Agriculture: MSC, ASC, BAP and GAP certification labels 2. Eco-efficiency lending: Eco-Lighthouse, Nordic Swan Ecolabel certification labels Given the GCP nature of such loans, SMN targets only impactful green activities: Pure play lending to enterprises which are expected to derive 90% turnover from certified activities (mostly SME s 4, but also larger enterprises) For SME s with <90% certified activities, SMN uses a proportional approach only the portion of turnover from certifications is eligible for the Green Loan Portfolio Certifications: Loan #1 Loan #2 Potential Green Loan ineligble loan Eligible Green Portfolio of certified Assets ineligble loan Loan #3 Eligible Green Certified Assets Green Loan Portfolio SMN adheres to the European Union s definition and categorization of SMEs:
