Nobia enters Spain

Today, Nobia decided to increase the pace of its store establishment
in both the UK and France. A decision was also made to establish the
Hygena concept in the Spanish market.

UK
Magnet, with its 193 kitchen stores at mid-year, is one of the
leading kitchen companies in the UK. The company has been part of
Nobia since 2001 and has since undergone major changes. These include
a comprehensive refurbishment programme for the store network and
modification of the Trade concept. Today, Nobia approved a
considerable expansion of the store network. The ambition is to open
100 new stores, of which about 30 in 2007.

France
Hygena is a store chain with 140 stores throughout France. The
company has been part of Nobia since 2006. Hygena has a leading
position in the economy and mid-price segments in France. Today,
Nobia decided to expand its store network by opening stores in
central locations of major French cities in addition to other
locations. To achieve complete market coverage, the ambition is to
open a further 50-75 stores in France when integration into Nobia's
product supply system is completed.

Spain
Nobia also decided today to establish the Hygena concept in Spain.
Establishment will be conducted region by region, commencing with
four stores in the Barcelona area."We have a high level of confidence in the Spanish market and that
the Hygena concept is appropriate," says CEO Fredrik Cappelen, Nobia."During the first year we will learn more about the Spanish market
and acquire an organisational platform. We will then accelerate to
highest momentum and establish stores in several cities."
