- Anticipated adjustment of the OMXI15 indexes due to a special dividend proposal by Atorka Group

The Board of Directors of Atorka Group hf. (ATOR) has proposed a dividend
payment of ISK 2.111 million,  corresponding to  ISK 0,65 per share, with ISK
0,35 payable in Atorka shares and ISK 0,30 in cash. The proposal is to be voted
on at the AGM on March 11, 2008. The reference date for the payment of dividend
is March 11, the ex-date is March 12 and the record date is March 14, 2008. 

The cash part of the dividend will be treated as a normal dividend payment in
the gross version of the index. 

The share portion of the dividend will be treated as a bonus issue and the
ratio will be determined using the closing price on March 11, 2008. The
exchange will thus increase the number of shares of ATOR in the indexes,  using
the above stated ratio, in accordance with rule 4.3 in the “Rules for the
Construction and Maintenance of the OMXI15 Equity Index”. The increase will be
effective on the ex-date (March 12).
