Sectra acquires shares in subsidiary

IT and medical-technology company Sectra is acquiring 2,356 shares in the
subsidiary Sectra Mamea AB from employees who exercised their employee stock
options during the spring. The acquisition has no significant effect on Sectra's
earnings and financial position.

The intention is to pay for the acquisition with Sectra shares on comparable
terms on which Sectra in April 2004 purchased a share majority in Mamea from the
company's founders. To pay for the acquisition, the Board has decided to carry
out an issue of 58,900 B shares to the sellers based on the authorization that
the Board received at the 2006 Annual General Meeting. The new issue corresponds
to 0.2 percent of the share capital and 0.1 percent of the votes in the company.
After the issue, Sectra's share capital amounts to SEK 36,842,088.

Sectra Mamea
Sectra Mamea AB was formed in 1999 by a group of researchers at the Royal
Institute of Technology in Stockholm and Sectra. The company has developed a
digital mammography system that with the same or higher image quality has the
unmatched lowest radiation dose of all systems on the market. As a result of
this low radiation dose, combined with outstanding ergonomics and customized
workflow, mammography nurses and radiologists can work more efficiently and
safely. Sectra MicroDose Mammography is based on a unique detector technology
that counts each X-ray photon - a technique that many experts point to as the
radiology technology of the future.
