ICA has been declined an appeal to the Supreme Administrative Court concerning the tax deduction of interest for the period 2001-2003. The decision means that the Administrative Court of Appeal's ruling has been upheld and that the tax dispute thereby is legally closed. As has been communicated earlier, ICA paid the tax claim of SEK 747 million in 2009 and expensed the cost during the second quarter 2010. The decision has no further financial effect on either ICA AB or Hakon Invest.
