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

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."
