Conversion of shares

Conversion of shares

According to SCA's articles of association, owners of Class A shares have the
right to have such shares converted to Class B shares. Conversion reduces the
total number of votes in the company. When such a conversion has occurred, the
company is obligated by law to disclose any such changes in this manner.

In July, at the request of shareholders, 100,000 Class A shares were converted
to Class B shares. The total number of votes in the company thereafter amounts
to
1,655,374,257.

The total number of registered shares in the company amounts to 705,110,094, of
which
105,584,907 are Class A shares and 599,525,187 are Class B shares.
