Fredrik Cappelen to resign as CEO of Nobia at 2008 Annual General Meeting

The President and CEO of Nobia, Fredrik Cappelen, has informed
Nobia's Board of Directors that he intends to stand down as CEO of
the company at Nobia's 2008 Annual General Meeting."Naturally, we regret that Fredrik has decided to leave Nobia. At the
same time, we have full respect for Fredrik's desire to seek new
challenges after so many years as a highly successful CEO. Under his
leadership, Nobia has developed into the leading kitchen company in
Europe, with net sales of SEK 16 billion," says Hans Larsson,
Chairman of the Nobia Board."It has been a very exciting challenge to develop Nobia into what it
is today. After 14 years as CEO of the company, and with a clear
growth-focused strategy in place, I believe that Nobia has reached a
phase in which it is natural to hand over to new energy," says
Fredrik Cappelen.

Fredrik Cappelen, who was born in 1957, has been the CEO of Nobia
since 1994.

Hans Larsson and Fredrik Cappelen will be available to respond to
questions in conjunction with today's presentation of Nobia's results
for the third quarter 2007 at 10:00 CET. The presentation can be
viewed live via www.nobia.com.
