GOTEBORG, Sweden, June 23, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- As announced earlier, Volvo has applied to be delisted from Frankfurt, Dusseldorf and Hamburg stock exchanges. This application has now been approved and the Volvo share will be delisted from Frankfurt and Dusseldorf stock exchanges on June 25, 2004 and from Hamburg stock exchange on September 30, 2004.
In October 2003, Volvo announced that the Company's Board had decided to apply to be delisted from Frankfurt, Dusseldorf and Hamburg stock exchanges.
Volvo has been listed on the German exchanges in Frankfurt, Dusseldorf and Hamburg since 1974. This listing was a feature of the Board's efforts to increase international ownership in Volvo. However, the deregulation of the international capital markets and the increased foreign ownership of shares on Stockholmsborsen have meant that this special listing has outlived its usefulness.
