Postponed record date for Hexagon split

Postponed record date for Hexagon split

The record date for the split in Hexagon AB resolved upon by the Annual General
Meeting on 2 May 2007 is postponed approximately two weeks. The company will
communicate a new record date during next week.

The reason for the postponement of the previously communicated preliminary
record date for execution of the split by VPC AB (30 May 2007) is due to delay
in a registration procedure in Switzerland related to the issue in kind, also
resolved upon by the Annual General Meeting, to be registered prior to the
split. 

Confirmation regarding registration date is expected shortly from Bolagsverket
(the Swedish Companies Registration Office), following which the new record date
will be communicated.
