rex?csref=b1744_Link_boilerplate_pressrelease ] and investment
specialist, will move into pole position with the Lotus F1 Team for
the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix this weekend, expanding on its
branding of the team's 2014 challenger, the E22, as driven by Romain
Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado.

As reinforcement of the exposure and business-to-business
opportunities Saxo Bank has enjoyed since becoming Lotus F1 Team
Official Business Partner at the start of this season, the E22's
sidepods will feature the distinctive Saxo Bank logo for the Monaco
Grand Prix highlighting the bank's partnership with the team.
Ultimately, Saxo Bank branding will feature on five race cars: The
two Lotus F1 Team cars, the Tech 1 Formula Renault 3.5 race car
driven by Marco Sorensen and the two Lotus Formula Renault 3.5 team
cars.

Lars Seier Christensen, co-CEO and co-founder of Saxo Bank, has
said:

"At Saxo Bank, we are proud to be supporting the entire Lotus
team, especially Denmark's very own Marco Sorensen, the official
Lotus F1 Reserve and Development driver. Lotus is one of the most
iconic and successful marques within global motor racing, and the
Monaco Grand Prix is the perfect platform upon which to exhibit the
Saxo brand."

Prior to the race, both Romain Grosjean and Marco Sorensen, along
with Bjarne Riis, founder of the Danish UCI ProTour outfit Team
'Tinkoff-Saxo' - which Saxo Bank has sponsored since 2008 - have been
invited by Lars Seier Christensen to a joint press briefing at the
Lotus F1 Team motorhome. This event on 23 May, 6 pm CET, will mark
the first time that representatives of both Saxo Bank's sporting
partnerships have appeared together.

Lars Seier Christensen added:

"At Saxo Bank, we know that if you want to facilitate change,
innovation and extraordinary commercial performance, the key
component is talent. This is why Saxo Bank is unequivocally committed
to the ongoing support and development of talent through our
sponsorships of F1, WSR and Pro Tour Cycling.

"Sponsoring these high performance sports is the embodiment of
Saxo Bank's general approach and how we excel in our line of
business. Everyone can relate to the efforts and sacrifices that
Romain Grosjean, Marco Sorensen or Alberto Contador have made to get
to the position they are in today. This can be used as an aspiration
and inspiration for the Saxo Bank offering and business model."
