Saku Õlletehase AS submitted an application to stop trading with shares

Saku Õlletehase AS submitted an application to Tallinn Stock Exchange to stop
trading with Saku shares as of September 16, 2008 until delisting of the shares
from the main list of Tallinn Stock Exchange. 

On September 5, the Listing and Surveillance Committee of Stock Exchange
decided to satisfy the request to del-list the shares of Saku Õlletehase AS
from the main list as of the next stock exchange day after the minority shares
have been transferred to Carlsberg Estonia Holding OÜ by the Estonian
Securities Center registrar. 

Saku Õlletehase AS has submitted an application to the Estonian Central
Register of Securities to transfer the shares in the ownership of minority
shareholders to Carlsberg Estonia Holding OÜ. On the basis of the information
received from the registrar so far, the Saku Õlletehase AS assumes that the day
of transfer of the shares shall be September 19, 2008.

The Estonian Securities Center registrar will transfer minor shares to
Carlsberg Estonia Holding OÜ and monetary compensation to bank accounts of
minor shareholders automatically without the minor shareholders having to do
any additional applications or orders. 

To ensure that all transactions done with shares of Saku Õlletehase AS will be
completed before the transfer day, it is necessary to stop the share trading
with sufficient time reserve before the date of transfer of shares taking into
consideration the usual term of realization of stock exchange transactions. 

Presuming that the transfer date of shares is September 19 2008, it is
necessary to stop the trading on September 16 2008. In such a case, the last
trading day with Saku Õlletehase As shares will be September 15 and all
transactions made on this day will be realized on September 18 2008.
