___________________________________________________________________

This supplement (the "Supplement") is supplemental to, forms part of and must be read and construed in conjunction with, the Prospectus dated 28 March 2017 (the "Prospectus") prepared by Ringkjøbing Landbobank Aktieselskab (the "Issuer") in connection with its Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "Programme") for the issuance of up to EUR2,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of notes (the "Notes"). Terms given a defined meaning

in the Prospectus shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the same meaning when used in this Supplement.

This Supplement has been approved by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA"), which is the

United Kingdom competent authority for the purposes of Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended (the "Prospectus Directive")

and relevant implementing measures in the United Kingdom, as a base prospectus supplement issued in compliance with

the Prospectus Directive and relevant implementing measures in the United Kingdom.

This Supplement has been prepared for the purposes of: (1) updating the important notice to reflect MIFID II product governance rules; (2) updating the Form of Final Terms to reflect MIFID II product governance rules; (3) adding identifier codes to the Form of Final Terms; (4) updating the overview of financial performance section; (5) incorporating by reference the capital structure, risks and risk management, auditors' reports and financial statements sections of the Issuer's 2017 Annual Report (as defined below); (6) adding the legal entity identifier code to the General Information section in the Prospectus; and (7) updating the significant or material adverse change statement in the Prospectus.

The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Supplement and declares that, having taken all

reasonable care to ensure that such is the case, the information contained in this Supplement is, to the best of its

knowledge, in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the import of such information.

To the extent that there is any inconsistency between (a) any statement in this Supplement or any statement

incorporated by reference into the Prospectus by this Supplement and (b) any other statement in, or incorporated by reference into, the Prospectus, the statements in (a) above will prevail.

Save as disclosed in this Supplement, no significant new factor, material mistake or inaccuracy relating to information included in the Prospectus which is capable of affecting the assessment of Notes issued under the Programme has arisen or been noted, as the case may be, since publication of the Prospectus.

Investors should be aware of their rights under Section 87(Q)(4) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.

With effect from the date of this Supplement the information appearing in, or incorporated by reference into, the Prospectus shall be amended and/or supplemented in the manner described below:

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The following text is added to page v of the Prospectus:

MIFID II product governance / target market - The Final Terms in respect of any Notes will include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II") is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID Product Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product Governance Rules"), any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MIFID Product Governance Rules.

FORM OF FINAL TERMS

On page 21, to reflect MIFID II product governance rules in the Final Terms, the following text is added below the paragraph beginning with [PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS]:

[MIFID II product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market - Solely for the purposes of [the/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 manufacturer['s/s'] 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 manufacturer['s/s'] target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.]

On page 27, to allow for additional identification codes to be reflected in the Final Terms, the following rows are added below the line beginning with "Common Code" in the "Operational Information" paragraph:
