Vestjysk Bank A/S provided earnings guidance for 2019. As detailed in company announcement of 1 March 2019, a conditional agreement was entered into for the sale of 75% of Sparinvest Holdings SE to the Nykredit Group. Vestjysk Bank owns 10.6% of the shares in Sparinvest. If the conditions for the transaction are satisfied and the sale completed, this will generate extraordinary tax-exempt income of approx. DKK 135.0 million. This is expected to result in an upgrade of the profit guidance for 2019 by DKK 135 million to a range of DKK 360 to 410 million. The profit guidance is not being upgraded yet, as there is some uncertainty with respect to the conditions for the completion of the sale which have not yet been satisfied.
