HANSAPANK

ANNOUNCEMENT



DE-LISTING OF THE HANSABANK SHARE FROM THE HEX I-LIST



As a result of the co-operation of Tallinn Stock Exchange (TSE) and

the HEX Group (Helsinki Stock Exchange) and the consequent common

trading platform effective as of January 28, 2002, the double listing

of the Hansabank share on both exchanges has become impractical.

Therefore, Hansabank today submits an application to de-list the

Hansabank share from the HEX I-list. After the approval of the

application all trading with the Hansabank share will concentrate on

the main list of the Tallinn Stock Exchange operating on the common

trading platform.



Additional information for the Finnish shareholders regarding clearing

and settlement can be obtained from:
