Nomination Committee of Hakon Invest appointed

ICA-handlarnas Förbund, SEB Fonder and Handelsbanken Fonder were the
three largest shareholders of Hakon Invest as per September 12, 2008,
and have therefore had the opportunity to appoint members to the
company's Nomination Committee. ICA-handlarnas Förbund and SEB Fonder
have exercised their right to appoint members to the Nomination
Committee, while Handelsbanken Fonder has abstained from its right.
The right to appoint a member was thereby passed on to the next
largest owner, Swedbank Robur fonder, which has exercised its right
to appoint.

ICA-handlarnas Förbund has appointed Håkan Olofsson, an ICA retailer
in Boden, and Claes Ottosson, an ICA retailer in Hovås, as its
representatives on the Nomination Committee. Håkan Olofsson was the
Nomination Committee's representative for ICA-handlarnas Förbund
ahead of the 2006, 2007 and 2008 Annual General Meetings. Claes
Ottosson was also a representative ahead of the 2008 Annual General
Meeting.

SEB Fonder has appointed Stefan Roos, SEB Asset Management, as its
representative on the Nomination Committee. Stefan Roos represented
SEB Fonder on the Nomination Committee also ahead of the 2006, 2007
and 2008 Annual General Meetings.

Swedbank Robur fonder has appointed KB Lindvall as its representative
on the Nomination Committee. KG Lindvall represented Swedbank Robur
fonder on the Nomination Committee ahead of the 2008 Annual General
Meeting.

Unless the members agree otherwise, the chairman of the Nomination
Committee shall be one of the representatives of the largest
shareholder based on voting rights, ICA-handlarnas Förbund. The work
of the Nomination Committee is conducted in accordance with the
guidelines adopted by the Annual General Meeting of Hakon Invest AB
and in line with the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance.

Shareholders who wish to submit proposals and viewpoints regarding
the work of the Nomination Committee are requested to do so as soon
as possible, but not later than Friday, February 27, 2009. The Annual
General Meeting of Hakon Invest will be held on Wednesday, April 22,
