Shareholders' equity end of first quarter 2012. Confirmation of expectations
for 2012. 

The operations of vestjyskBANK have in the first quarter of 2012 proceeded in
accordance with expectations, and the bank has in connection with its
preparations for the planned offering of shares calculated a shareholders'
equity of approximately DKK 2,137 million (unaudited) at end of the first
quarter of 2012. On this basis, the bank maintains its financial expectation to
achieve core earnings in 2012 within the range of DKK 550-600 million before
impairments and expenses related to the merger with Aarhus Lokalbank.
Impairments in 2012 are still expected to be approximately 1.5 percent of loans
and guarantees, corresponding to approximately DKK 450 million. The bank plans
to launch the planned offering of shares on 26 April 2012 and will in
accordance with its financial calendar announce its quarterly report for the
first quarter of 2012 on 31 May 2012.
