Previously announced transaction now completed

SCA's divestment of the conventional corrugated business in the UK and Ireland
was completed today. The buyer is the Spanish company SAICA and the purchase
price amounts to GBP 100 million (EUR 125 million).

The finalising of the transaction follows approval by the relevant competition
authorities. The transaction will improve operating profit and cash flow, but
will not result in any capital gain or loss. 

SCA will retain and continue to develop the specialized value-added packaging
operations in the UK and Ireland. These units show favourable profitability and
strengthen SCA's overall strategy of focusing on products and solutions with
higher value added.

The first press release regarding the transaction was published on 18 June 2008.
