Reduction in share capital, amendment to the Articles of Association and reductions in the share premium reserve and in the statutory reserve.

The Annual General Meeting resolved in favour of the Board's proposal to reduce the amount of the company's share capital on the basis of the withdrawal of the company's own holdings of shares in Tornet, with no repayment to the shareholders, and to reduce the amount of the company's share capital on the basis of decreasing the nominal amount per share. This reduction in share capital shall take place partly in order to make provisions to a fund to be utilised according to a resolution by the Annual General Meeting, and partly in order to make repayments to shareholders. The company's share capital will be reduced by a total amount of SEK 1,069,489,840, and a total of SEK 491,382,674 will be paid to the shareholders.

The Annual General Meeting also resolved to reduce the company's share premium by an amount of SEK 119,280,887 and reduce the company's statutory reserve by an amount of SEK 278,180,710. The amounts of these reductions will be transferred to non-restricted reserves.

The resolutions regarding these above-mentioned reductions may not be executed until consent of the court has gained legal force. Repayments to shareholders shall take place as soon as possible after statutory permission has been obtained and after the Swedish Companies Registration Office has registered the reduction in share capital. After the execution of the above-mentioned resolutions, the company's share capital will amount to SEK 258,622,460 and the number of issued shares will amount to 25,862,246.
