Catella advisor in the sale of SAAB property

About three weeks ago, Catella was commissioned by SAAB to identify and
bring together investors and capital, and to negotiate sales and rental
agreements, pertaining to the SAAB property. All of this was to be
completed in a very short period. The transaction was finalised today.

“In a very short time and over a very intensive period of negotiations,
we have capitalised on our longstanding and extensive M&A experience of
the property transaction industry in order to identify and bring
together potential investors. For Catella, the priorities have been to
drive the process forward and to focus on possible new solutions,” says
Lennart Schuss, Working Chairman of the Board of Catella's Nordic
corporate finance companies.

The underlying property value is SEK 600 million (EUR 65.6 million).
SAAB has signed a 15-year lease.

Catella is market leader in Sweden in respect of advisory services in
property transactions and in property-related services in the debt and
equity capital markets. During the first quarter of 2011, Catella
Corporate Finance implemented 22 property transactions in Sweden at a
total value of slightly more than SEK 6.7 billion (EUR 0.73 billion).
Catella offers all of the competencies required to implement complex
transactions and has about 50 employees at offices in Stockholm,
Gothenburg and Malmö.
