Norsk Hydro ASA has signed a USD 1,700 million syndicated revolving multi-
currency credit facility with a syndicate of 13 international banks. The
facility is for general corporate purposes.
Hydro has since 2007 had a USD 1,700 million revolving credit facility with
maturity in July 2014. This facility has remained undrawn. Hydro has now
established a new credit facility, replacing the facility which was to mature in
July 2014. The credit facility has a five-year tenor, and includes two one-year
extension options.

"This is a confirmation of our core banks' strong support to Hydro," Executive
Vice President and CFO Eivind Kallevik says. "The smooth process and the terms
concluded reflect trust built over many years, and is a great achievement for
the company," he says.

Mandated Lead Arrangers on the transaction. In addition, BNP Paribas, Citibank,
Danske Bank, DNB, SEB and Société Générale acted as invited Bookrunners and
