Atlas Copco's new capital structure

Stockholm, Sweden, June 14, 2007: Atlas Copco AB's redemption shares of series A
and series B have today been redeemed, and payment to the shareholders of

As part of the redemption procedure approved by the Annual General Meeting on
April 26, 2007, Atlas Copco AB carried out a share split where each share was
split into three shares, of which one redemption share. Upon completion of the
procedure the redemption shares are redeemed at a price of SEK 40 per share.

Atlas Copco's share capital of SEK 262 002 730 through redemption of 628 806 552
redemption shares, of which 419 697 048 redemption shares of series A and 209
109 504 redemption shares of series B. Further, an increase in the company's
share capital of SEK 262 002 730 is registered following a bonus issue. The
increase in the share capital is transferred from the non-restricted equity. No
new shares are issued in connection with the bonus issue. Atlas Copco's share
capital is consequently restored to the same level as prior to the redemption
procedure.
