Each responsible research analyst further certifies that no part of the compensation of the research analyst was, is or will be, directly or indirectly, related to the specific recommendations expressed in their research reports. Regulation Danske Bank is authorised and subject to regulation by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority and is subject to the rules and regulation of the relevant regulators in all other jurisdictions where it conducts business. Danske Bank is subject to limited regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority (UK). Details on the extent of the regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority are available from Danske Bank on request. The research reports of Danske Bank are prepared in accordance with the Danish Society of Financial Analysts rules of ethics and the recommendations of the Danish Securities Dealers Association. Danske Bank is not registered as a Credit Rating Agency pursuant to the CRA Regulation (Regulation (EC) no. 1060/2009); hence, Danske Bank does not comply with or seek to comply with the requirements applicable to credit rating agencies. Conflicts of interest Danske Bank has established procedures to prevent conflicts of interest and to ensure the provision of high-quality research based on research objectivity and independence. These procedures are documented in Danske Bank s research policies. Employees within Danske Bank s Research Departments have been instructed that any request that might impair the objectivity and independence of research shall be referred to Research Management and the Compliance Department. Danske Bank s Research Departments are organised independently from, and do not report to, other business areas within Danske Bank. Research analysts are remunerated in part based on the overall profitability of Danske Bank, which includes investment banking revenues, but do not receive bonuses or other remuneration linked to specific corporate finance or debt capital transactions. Danske Bank, its affiliates, subsidiaries and staff may perform services for or solicit business from A. P. Moller - Maersk and may hold long or short positions in, or otherwise be interested in, the financial instruments mentioned in research reports. The Equity and Corporate Bonds analysts of Danske Bank and undertakings with which the Equity and Corporate Bonds analysts have close links are, however, not permitted to invest in financial instruments that are covered by the relevant Equity or Corporate Bonds analyst or the research sector to which the analyst is linked. Danske Bank, its affiliates and subsidiaries are engaged in commercial banking, securities underwriting, dealing, trading, brokerage, investment management, investment banking, custody and other financial services activities, may be a lender to A. P. Moller - Maersk and have whatever rights are available to a creditor under applicable law and the applicable loan and credit agreements. At any time, Danske Bank, its affiliates and subsidiaries may have credit or other information regarding A. P. Moller - Maersk that is not available to or may not be used by the personnel responsible for the preparation of research reports, which might affect the analysis and opinions expressed in these research reports. Danske Bank is a market maker and a liquidity provider and may hold positions in the financial instruments of the issuer(s) mentioned in this research report. Within the 12 to 31 March 2019, Danske Bank acted as Lead Manager of a public offer of credit bonds for A. P. Moller - Maersk A/S. As an investment bank, Danske Bank, its affiliates and subsidiaries provide a variety of financial services, including investment banking services. It is possible that Danske Bank and/or its affiliates and/or its subsidiaries might seek to become engaged to provide such services to A. P. Moller - Maersk in the next three months. Danske Bank has made no agreement with A. P. Moller - Maersk to write this research report. No parts of this research report have been disclosed to A. P. Moller - Maersk.

Scandi Handbook and Scandi High-Yield Handbook: These research reports contain updates on selected companies and are published annually, usually in April. Completion and first dissemination The completion date and time in research reports mean the date and time when the author hands over the final version of the research report to Danske Bank s editing function for legal review and editing. The date and time of first dissemination mean the date and estimated time of the first dissemination of this research report. The estimated time may deviate up to 15 minutes from the effective dissemination time due to technical limitations. See the final page of each research report for the date and time of first dissemination. Financial models, valuation and/or methodology used in this research report Calculations and presentations in research reports are based on standard econometric tools and methodology as well as publicly available statistics for each individual security, issuer and/or country. We base our bond valuation conclusion on an estimation of a fair business and financial risk profile of the issuing entity. By combining these risk profiles with market technical and bondspecific issues such as documentation and structuring, we arrive at an overall bond risk profile. We compare the bond spread to those of peers with similar risk profiles and on this background, we estimate whether the bond is attractively priced in the market. We express this view with either an Overweight, Marketweight or Underweight recommendation. This signals our opinion about the bond s performance potential compared with relevant peers in the coming six months. More information about valuation and/or methodology and underlying assumptions is accessible via http://www.danskebank.com/en-uk/ci/products-services/markets/research/ Pages/researchdisclaimer.aspx.

Financial models, valuation and/or methodology used in this research report Calculations and presentations in research reports are based on standard econometric tools and methodology as well as publicly available statistics for each individual security, issuer and/or country. We base our bond valuation conclusion on an estimation of a fair business and financial risk profile of the issuing entity. By combining these risk profiles with market technical and bondspecific issues such as documentation and structuring, we arrive at an overall bond risk profile. We compare the bond spread to those of peers with similar risk profiles and on this background, we estimate whether the bond is attractively priced in the market. We express this view with either an Overweight, Marketweight or Underweight recommendation. This signals our opinion about the bond s performance potential compared with relevant peers in the coming six months.
