ICA has been declined appeal of earlier expensed tax dispute

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.
