Clarification on tax case

Clarification on tax case

As reported previously (see Annual Report 2008, page 34), Fabege has appealed a
tax decision to the County Administrative Court in Stockholm.

On Friday the Supreme Administrative Court of Sweden announced decisions on
three preliminary rulings relating to other companies than Fabege. In two cases
tax evasion was deemed to have occurred and in one case, known as the Cyprus
case, the preliminary ruling of the Swedish Revenue Law Commission
(Skatterättsnämnden) was set aside and the issue of tax evasion was referred
back to the Revenue Law Commission. 

To avoid any misunderstanding, Fabege wishes to stress that the aforementioned
decisions of the Supreme Administrative Court do not refer to Fabege.
Furthermore, it is the opinion of Fabege that the decisions on the preliminary
rulings addressed by the Supreme Administrative Court are not applicable to
Fabege's cases, as they differ. 

Fabege's position remains unchanged, as described above. It is Fabege's opinion
that the sales were reported and declared in accordance with applicable rules,
and no provisions have therefore been made in the company's balance sheet.
Fabege's assessment is shared by external legal experts and tax advisors.
