Today, Björn Borg AB, a Mid Cap company within Consumer Discretionary, has been
listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. Björn Borg moves up from First North to
the Nordic Exchange's main market.
Björn Borg (formerly Worldwide Brand Management AB) currently has operations in
five product areas: clothing, footwear, bags, eyewear and fragrances. Björn Borg
products are sold in ten markets in Europe, the largest of which are Sweden and
the Netherlands. The Björn Borg brand was established at the end of the 1980's.

North - since December 2004.

our market for growth companies, First North, works. Companies can focus on
growth and development on First North and then, when they are ready and fulfill
