Oslo, November 10, 2008 - Eksportfinans ASA today announced that it will voluntarily withdraw $18,268,000 PLUS Notes Linked to the S&P 500® Index due March 20, 2009 currently listed on the American Stock Exchange. The voluntary delisting of the securities is occurring as a result of the acquisition of the Amex by NYSE Euronext and NYSE Euronext's plans to consolidate all listed exchange-traded funds and structure products on NYSE Arca and the consequent delisting of all securities from the Amex. Eksportfinans has decided not to transfer the listing of the securities to the NYSE Arca.
