Metro International plans relocation of its London offices to Stockholm

Metro International S.A. ("Metro International"), the world's largest
international newspaper,  announces  its planned  relocation  of  its
London offices to Stockholm latest by the end of 2009.

Whilst Metro International's headquarters are based in Luxembourg,  a
number of  its  employees are  located  throughout the  World.  Metro
International's London  office includes  such functions  as parts  of
senior management, sales, editorial, marketing, finance and IT. It is
envisaged that Metro International's Global Sales Team and the Global
Editorial  Department  will  remain   in  London.  Approximately   35
employees will be affected by the move.

The estimated  costs  of  this relocation  are  approximately  €  0.5
million and will affect  the 2009 accounts.  The annual savings  from
the relocation  will be  approximately €  2.0 million  which will  be
realized in 2010.

Per Mikael Jensen,  President and CEO,  said: "During Metro's  growth
period particularly in Europe we have benefited from being located in
a media capital such  as London. As our  business has entered into  a
more mature  state  our needs  have  changed and  we  have  therefore
concluded that some of our  London functions would profit from  being
closer to both an operating unit as well as our financial market.  We
are looking forward to establishing a greater presence in the city in
which Metro was conceived in 1995 and where the free daily  newspaper
concept was pioneered."
