The total amount of dividends and share buybacks since 2000 can be seen in the table below.

1.3. Ratings Danske Bank rating overview The agencies each use their own rating scales, on which the highest possible ratings are AAA and Aaa (see the table below). Ratings in the A categories are considered "investment grade", indicating only a marginal risk that the issuer will go default. The Danske Bank Group is currently rated by the three large international credit rating agencies: Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings.

1.4. Changes in accounting principles and presentation Changes in accounting principles The Group has not changed accounting principles from those presented in the Fact Book Q1 2007. Changes in presentation In November 2006, the Danske Bank Group entered into an agreement to buy all shares of the Finnish Sampo Bank. The acquisition was approved on January 30, 2007, and effected on February 1, 2007, from which date the Sampo Bank group was consolidated in the accounts of Danske Bank. Due to the acquisition of Sampo Bank, beginning the first quarter of 2007, the Groups reporting has been expanded with two segments Banking Activities Finland and Banking Activities Baltics. Comparative figures in the financial reporting on the activities of Finland, the Baltic countries, Danske Markets, Danske Capital and Other Areas have been restated on a pro forma basis to include the financial results of the Sampo Bank group as of February 1, 2006. Consequently, the results of these areas in the first quarter of 2007 are compared with pro forma figures for 2006. The pro forma financial highlights were calculated before the time of acquisition in accordance with the accounting policies of the Sampo Bank group (IFRS). Beginning in the first quarter of 2007 the Group no longer reports RAROC and Economic Capital. The Group has implemented a new risk adjusted measurement ROAC which is basically RAROC calibrated to CRD. During 2007 the Group will use the measure internally, and later publish the results externally. The breakdown of expenses under 2.1 Income statement does not match the expenses allocated to the business areas, as integration expenses incurred by the business areas are stated separately. Comparative figures have been restated. 6
