34,959,350 through the issue of not more than 34,959,350 new  shares.

Company before issue costs. Subscription  and payment for new  shares
shall occur  not later  than September  15, 2009.  Through the  share
issue, KfS will become  the owner of 21.1%  of the shares and  voting
rights in the Company.[1]

In conjunction with the directed share issue to KfS, Laszlo Kriss was
elected as  a new  member of  the  RNB Board  of Directors,  and  the
meeting resolved to pay a  director's remuneration of SEK 52,000  for
the period until the next Annual General Meeting.

Laszlo Kriss, who was born in  1946, has been President of KfS  since
1996. He is Chairman of the Board of Atrium Ljungberg AB and a  Board
member of KfS and of MedMera Bank AB. From 1986 to 2006, Laszlo Kriss
was  President   of   various  property   companies,   including   KF
Fastigheter, Fastighets AB Brogatan and Atrium Fastigheter AB.

Approval of the  Board's resolution regarding  a preferential  rights
issue
The General  Meeting  approved  the Board's  resolution  regarding  a
rights issue with  preferential rights for  shareholders whereby  the
Company's share  capital  may  be  increased by  not  more  than  SEK
16,308,237 through the issue of not more than 16,308,237 new  shares.
The Company's shareholders shall  be entitled to preferential  rights
to subscribe for the new shares, whereby shareholders are entitled to
subscribe for one (1) new share for every seven (7) old shares  held.
The issue price shall be SEK  6.15 per share, which entails that  the
rights issue will  generate proceeds of  not more than  approximately
SEK 100 M for the Company before issue costs.

The record day for participation in the rights issue is September 21,
2009. This entails that  the RNB share will  be traded excluding  the
right to participation in the  rights issue from September 17,  2009.
Subscription for shares shall occur  from September 25 to October  9,
2009, or  such later  date  as decided  by  the Board  of  Directors.
Shareholders who choose not to  participate in the rights issue  will
have their holdings diluted by  approximately 9.9%,[2] but will  have
the opportunity  to obtain  financial compensation  for the  dilution
effect of the preferential rights issue by selling their subscription
rights.

Torsten Jansson  has  undertaken  to  subscribe  for  shares  in  the
preferential rights issue  corresponding to his  holdings, which  are
equivalent to about 1.64% of the issue.  In addition, Torsten Jansson
and KfS have guaranteed  that, provided that the  issue is not  fully
subscribed, they will subscribe  for additional shares  corresponding
to about 38.2% of the issue, which will increase the total commitment
to about 40% of the issue.

The schedule for the preferential rights issue is as follows:
September 17, 2009: Estimated date for publication of prospectus

September 17, 2009: First  date for trading  in shares excluding  the
right to participation in the share issue

September 21, 2009: Record day for participation in the rights issue,
meaning that shareholders  registered in  the shareholders'  register
will,  on  this   date,  obtain  subscription   rights  that   entail
entitlement to participate in the preferential rights issue

September 25, 2009 - October 6, 2009: Trading of subscription rights,
meaning that  shareholders who  do  not subscribe  to shares  in  the
preferential rights issue and  do not wish to  lose the value of  the
subscription rights may, during this period, sell their  subscription
rights

September 25, 2009 - October 9, 2009: Subscription period
