Modern Times Group MTG AB (publ.) (‘MTG''), the international entertainment

increased to 66,740,375, following the 18 June 2009 issue and repurchase of
370,000 Class C shares. The total number of Class A shares decreased to
15,001,201 from 15,091,426 in June, following the reclassification of 90,225
Class A shares into Class B shares, while the total number of Class B shares
increased to 50,889,174 from 50,798,949. Following the issue and repurchase of
Class C shares in June, MTG now holds a total of 850,000 Class C shares. The
total share capital has consequently increased to SEK 333,701,875.

Each Class A share holds ten voting rights and each Class B and Class C share is

number of voting rights, when excluding the shares held by MTG, amounts to
200,901,184.
