New website for HQ AB shareholders

New website for HQ AB shareholders

As of 9 September 2010, information for HQ AB's shareholders will be
published on www.hqab.se (http://www.hqab.se/).

The purpose of this new website is to continuously provide shareholders
with up-to-date information on issues associated with the listed company
HQ AB.

Background
As previously announced, on 3 September 2010, HQ AB sold all of its
shares in its subsidiary HQ Bank AB, including the option to acquire HQ
Fonder Sverige AB, to Carnegie group. This sale was a consequence of the
28 August 2010 revocation by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority
(FSA) of all HQ Bank licences and the FSA's notification that it
intended to submit an application for compulsory liquidation of HQ Bank.
The FSA's decision was based on deficiencies it had previously
identified, primarily associated with HQ Bank's now closed trading
operations.

Following the transaction and the future repayment of convertible loans
in HQ AB, HQ AB's equity is estimated pro forma to amount to
approximately SEK 60 million.  The total number of outstanding shares is
27,925,280.

HQ AB's Board of Directors remains unchanged until further notice.
Stefan Dahlbo is the acting CEO.
