| Status: | | The notes will constitute our direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will rank pari passu amongst themselves. The rights of holders of the notes in respect of or arising from the notes (including any damages awarded for breach of any obligations under the indenture, if any are payable) shall, in the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation (Sw. likvidation) or bankruptcy (Sw. konkurs), rank: (A) (subject to such mandatory exceptions as are from time to time applicable under Swedish law) at least pari passu with all our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding; and (B) senior to any liabilities having senior non-preferred ranking (as defined under “Description of the Notes—General Terms of the Notes” in the prospectus supplement, dated November 2, 2023 (as amended, the “Prospectus Supplement”)), and to any subordinated liabilities. |
| Governing Law: | | New York |
| Consent to Bail-in Power: | | By investing in this offering, you acknowledge, agree to be bound by, and consent to the exercise of any Bail-in Power (as defined under “Description of the Notes—Agreement with Respect to the Exercise of Bail-in Power” in the Prospectus Supplement) by the Swedish National Debt Office, the Swedish resolution authority. All payments are subject to the exercise of any Bail-in Power by the relevant Swedish resolution authority. Under the Resolution Act (as defined under “Description of the Notes—Recovery and Resolution Matters” in the Prospectus Supplement), the Swedish National Debt Office may exercise a Bail-in Power under certain conditions which include that authority determining that: (i) a relevant entity is failing or is likely to fail; (ii) it is not reasonably likely that any action will be taken to avoid the entity’s failure (other than pursuant to the other stabilization powers under the Resolution Act); (iii) the exercise of the stabilization powers are necessary, taking into account certain public interest considerations such as the stability of the Swedish financial system, public confidence in the Swedish banking and resolution systems and the protection of depositors (also regulated by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority); and (iv) the objectives of the resolution measures would not be met to the same extent by the winding up of the entity. Notwithstanding these conditions, there remains uncertainty regarding how the Swedish National Debt Office would assess these conditions in deciding whether to exercise any Bail-in Power. The Bail-in Power includes any statutory write-down and conversion power, which allows for the cancellation of all, or a portion, of any amounts payable on the notes, including any repayment of principal and/or the conversion of all, or a portion, of any amounts payable on the notes, including principal, into shares or other securities or other obligations of ours or another person, including by means of a variation to the terms of the notes. Accordingly, if any Bail-in Power is exercised, you may lose all or a part of the value of your investment in the notes or receive a different security, which may be worth significantly less than the notes and which may have significantly fewer protections than those typically afforded to debt securities. Moreover, the Swedish National Debt Office may exercise its authority to implement the Bail-in Power without providing any advance notice to the holders of the notes. By your acquisition of the notes, you acknowledge, agree to be bound by, and consent to the exercise of any Bail-in Power by the relevant resolution authority. The exercise of any Bail-in Power with respect to the notes will not be a default or an Event of Default (as each term is defined in the indenture relating to the notes). The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “trustee”) will not be liable for any action that the trustee takes, or abstains from taking, in accordance with the exercise of the Bail-in Power with respect to the notes. Your rights as a holder of the notes are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, so as to give effect to the exercise of any Bail-in Power by the Swedish National Debt Office. This is only a summary. For more information, see “Description of the Notes—Recovery and Resolution Matters” and “Description of the Notes—Agreement with Respect to the Exercise of Bail-in Power,” beginning on pages S-41 and S-43 of the Prospectus Supplement, respectively. |

European Economic Area
MiFID II product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market
Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer’s product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the notes (a “distributor”) should take into consideration the manufacturers’ target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers’ target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
PRIIPs Regulation / Prohibition of sales to EEA Retail Investors
The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). For these purposes, (a) the expression “retail investor” means a person who is one (or more) of the following: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; and (b) the expression “an offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the notes so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the notes. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
United Kingdom
UK MIFIR product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market
Solely for the purposes of the manufacturer’s product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the notes is only eligible counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook (“COBS”), and professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of United Kingdom (“UK”) domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“UK MiFIR”); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the notes (a “distributor”) should take into consideration the manufacturer’s target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the “UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules”) is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer’s target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
UK PRIIPs Regulation / Prohibition of sales to UK retail investors
The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom (“the UK”). For these purposes, (a) the expression “UK retail investor” means a person who is one (or more) of the following: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/565 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended, varied, superseded or substituted from time to time, the “EUWA”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”) and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; and (b) the expression “an offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the notes so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the notes. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and, therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

*Under Rule 15c6-1 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes prior to the delivery of the notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will not settle in T+2, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisor.
