OSLO, NORWAY: The Board of Directors of Norwegian Finans Holding ASA (Norwegian Finans Holding, OSE: NOFI) today announced that CEO Tine Wollebekk has handed in her resignation to assume a new position.

“Tine has during her four-year tenure led the continued growth of the company, leaving a strong Bank Norwegian with a leading market position and best in class operating platform, as well as strong profitability and capitalisation. I would like to thank Tine for her hard work and wish her all the best in her new position,” said Klaus-Anders Nysteen, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Norwegian Finans Holding and Bank Norwegian.
