Statement on outlook for operations in Denmark

In an interview with the Magazine Motormagasinet in Denmark the Danish Managing
Director made a statement regarding the financial result for the Danish
business. The following information was given:

“And we expect a stronger 2009 than 2008 for both turnover and financial result
on a weak market. We have also had a very good start. The first quarter of 2009
is stronger than last year and over budget, says Lars From.”

As stated by this quotation it is indicated that the Danish business is
expecting to reach a better turnover and EBIT for the full year of 2009 compared
to 2008. At given time it is too early to hold true to this economic forecast
