Report from the Annual General Meeting of Broström AB on 29 April 2008

Broström held its Annual General Meeting at the Lorensbergsteatern in Göteborg
on Tuesday 29 April. The Annual General Meeting was well-attended with more than
400 persons present.

CEO's speech - Broström, a global actor
CEO Lennart Simonsson's speech was on the subject ”Broström, a global actor”.

Concerning the market Lennart Simonsson stressed the underlying trend with an
increasing consumption of oil products in the world with Asia as the main growth
market. He also claimed that structural imbalances in the refinery production in
comparison with where in the world the consumption of different oil products is
taking place, leads to more and longer distances for transportation.

In 2007 Broström took the third step in its expansion in Asia with the purchase
of the Petroships Group in Singapore. With this acquisition Broström was
established also in the small vessel segments in Asia and today the operation
there is a reflection of Broström's successful European business.

”Together with the bigger vessels added during the year to our fleet through our
co-operation with Dünya this meant that we in 2007 went from 9 to 22 vessels in
Asia”, Lennart Simonsson told.

In 2007 Broström started a co-operation in Europe with the German Claus-Peter
Offen comprising eight big vessels that will be delivered during 2008.
”It is not without humbleness that we are noting that they put the
responsibility for the commercial operation of an investment of more than SEK
two billions in our hands. At the same time it is of course a good receipt for
their trust in our business model”, Lennart Simonsson said.

With these eight vessels Broström increases its presence in the segment Medium
Range from today's eight to sixteen vessels. According to Lennart Simonsson this
creates further possibilities for efficient planning and thereby even more
reliable and flexible transports for the company's customers.

For the rest of 2008 Lennart Simonsson predicted a continued volatile market.
The start of 2008 was characterised by a weak development, but the market
recovered during April. According to Lennart Simonsson big fluctuations imply a
possibility for Broström that offers the customers a large proportion of
security and predictability with its Contracts of Affreightment.

Acquisitions and transfer of the company's own shares 
The AGM approved the Board's proposal regarding authorisation for the Board to
decide on acquisition and transfer of the company's own shares equivalent to a
holding not exceeding one-tenth of all shares in the company.

Authorisation of new share issue

the articles of association, without pre-emption rights for shareholders, to
decide on a new share issue of a total of 6,579,718 B-shares on one or more
