Disciplinary Committee at OMX Nordic Exchange Stockholm issues warnings to Ångpanneföreningen and Getinge


The listed company AB Ångpanneföreningen and Getinge AB has contravened the     
rules that apply at OMX Nordic Exchange Stockholm by failing to disclose their  
financial statements in the correct manner. The Exchange's Disciplinary         
Committee has decided that each company will given a warning.                   

In accordance with OMX Nordic Exchange Stockholm's listing agreement, financial 
statement and interim reports must be published in a manner that ensures that   
the information is made available to the public rapidly and in a                
non-discriminatory manner. No later than simultaneously, the information shall  
be disclosed to the Exchange in the manner instructed by the Exchange and shall 
be made available on the company's website as soon as possible. The listed      
company is obligated to ensure that information concerning the report does not  
“leak” in advance.                                                              

Ångpanneföreningen published its financial statement for the full year 2007 on  
February 19, 2008 at 9:16 a.m. However, information from the report had been    
available from 9:05 a.m. on the company's web page and available at the news    
agency SIX at 9:07 a.m.                                                         

Getinge published its financial statement on January 28, 2008 at 12:17 p.m. for 
the full year 2007. However, information from the report had been available at  
12:08 p.m. on the company's web page and available at the news agency Ticker at 
12:13 p.m.                                                                      

Both Ångpanneföreningen and Getinge have consequently been contravening the     
rules by making the financial statements available on the respective web pages  
before the formal disclosure. In contrast to recent incidents of a similar      
character, these incidents haven't resulted from faulty procedures by the       
respective companies, but rather to accidental errors in handling. The          
Disciplinary Committee found that the transgressions were less severe and it    
will only issue a warning to each of the companies.                             

The following persons participated in the Committee's decision: Johan Munck,    
Marianne Lundius, Madeleine Leijonhufvud, Hans Mertzig and Ragnar Boman.
