KappAhl: EGM statement

KappAhl Holding AB (publ) held an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM)
at 2 p.m. on 17 September 2007 in Mölndal.

As a result of KappAhl Holding AB's (publ) public offer to acquire
all the shares in AB Lindex (publ) on 13 August 2007, the EGM
authorised the Board, prior to the next Annual General Meeting and on
one occasion, to decide on a share issue or issue of convertibles,
with preferential rights for existing shareholders. The authorisation
should only be used to refinance part (just over SEK 2.0 billion) of
the loans taken for when the offer is carried out, and proceeds from
the issue decided with the support of this authorisation, will be
used to repay part of the loans the company will take on completion
of the company's public offer on 13 August 2007, for the acquisition
of all shares in AB Lindex (publ).

The EGM's decision was taken with the necessary majority."Lindex shareholders have been given a simple, clear cash offer to
decide on, with a premium of 15 per cent compared to the share's
final price before the offer. As an independent chain store within a
Group, Lindex will get a professional environment to develop in and
will be able to draw from and contribute to the KappAhl Group's
collective expertise and resources in retail trade and fashion."
