Metro International: Anders Kronborg joins Investment AB Kinnevik as Chief Operating Officer

Metro  International  S.A.  ("Metro")  today  announced  that  Anders  Kronborg,
currently  Chief Financial Officer  ("CFO") for Metro,  will join the management
team at Investment AB Kinnevik ("Kinnevik") as Chief Operating Officer ("COO").

Anders Kronborg has been CFO in Metro since 2008. Prior to joining Metro, Anders
gained  extensive experience from  the financial operations  of media businesses
including  serving as  the CFO  of Danish  Broadcaster TV2  as well  as numerous
executive  positions with  Danish newspaper  group Berlingske  Media A/S. Anders
Kronborg  will take up his new position  at Kinnevik as from 1 May 2012. As COO,
Anders's  responsibilities will continue to include the financial tasks of Metro
but he will also focus on some of Kinnevik's other assets.

"This move is a logic step after Kinnevik's take-over of Metro and indeed one of
the  cost-saving measures that  was anticipated following  the bid and the take-
over.  Anders will continue to  be very much involved  in Metro's daily business
but since Metro will no longer have to focus on investor relation issues, Anders
will  also have  time at  hand for  other tasks.  I am  sure he  will be  a very
valuable  asset to Kinnevik, as he has been  and will continue to be for Metro",
says Per Mikael Jensen, President and CEO of Metro.
