As part of the SpareBank 1 SR-Bank's efforts to increase efficiency, simplify
operations and reduce costs, SpareBank 1 SR-Bank consider it sufficient to use
one rating agency going forward.  SpareBank 1 SR-Bank has therefore requested
for withdrawal of the ratings by Fitch Ratings. Please see attached press
release from Fitch confirming SpareBank 1 SR-Bank's ratings.
