Buy-back of shares to cover allocation in incentive programs

The Board of Directors of Hakon Invest has resolved that, as
authorized by the 2009 Annual General Meeting, the company will buy
back 39,620 common shares in the company to cover the allocation in
this year's share matching and performance-based share programs. The
shares will be repurchased on the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm exchange at
market price, i.e. between the highest bid price and the lowest ask
price, during the period June 11, 2009 up to and including June 30,
2009. Hakon Invest already holds 225,300 of the company's own common
shares.

The effect of the share buy-back on Hakon Invest's results and return
will be marginal. The number of outstanding shares in Hakon Invest is
160,917,436 and the announced buy-back of the company's shares
represents 0.02 percent of the total number of shares.
