Holmen's AGM - Dividend of SEK 12 per share

At Holmen's Annual General Meeting held on Wednesday, the company's shareholders
resolved in favour of paying a dividend of SEK 12 per share for the 2006
financial year.

The AGM re-elected the Board members Fredrik Lundberg, Lilian Fossum, Magnus
Hall, Carl Kempe, Curt Källströmer, Hans Larsson, Ulf Lundahl, Göran Lundin and
Bengt Pettersson. Fredrik Lundberg was re-elected Chairman of the Board.

The Meeting decided to authorise the Board to make decisions during the period
until the next Annual General Meeting to buy the company's shares on the stock
exchange. Up to 10% of the total number of shares in the company may be
acquired. The Board was also mandated to make decisions to use shares bought
back as payment for acquisitions or to finance such an acquisition. The
corresponding mandates were provided by the 2006 AGM.
