New Nomination Committee appointed in Hakon Invest

In connection with the recent changes in ownership in Hakon Invest a new
Nomination Committee has been appointed ahead of the 2013 Annual General
Meeting.

Hakon Invest's Nomination Committee shall consist of four members who represent
the company's shareholders. Two representatives are appointed by the company's
largest shareholder, ICA-handlarnas Förbund (the Association of ICA Retailers),
and two members are appointed by the next two largest owners.

Industrivärden owns 10 percent of the shares in Hakon Invest as per March
21, 2013, and is thereby the second largest owner after the Association of ICA
Retailers. Industrivärden has appointed Anders Nyberg, General Counsel at
Industrivärden, as its member of the Nomination Committee.

The next largest owner, AMF Pension, has appointed Anders Oscarsson as its
representative on the Nomination Committee.

The Association of ICA Retailers has appointed Håkan Olofsson, ICA retailer in
Boden, and Claes Ottosson, ICA retailer in Hovås, as its members of the
Nomination Committee.

Unless the members agree otherwise, the Chairman of the Nomination Committee
shall be one of the representatives of the largest shareholder in terms of
voting rights, the Association of ICA Retailers. The work of the Nomination
Committee is conducted in accordance with the guidelines adopted at the Annual
General Meeting of Hakon Invest and in line with the Swedish Code of Corporate
Governance.

Shareholders who wish to submit proposals and views regarding the work of the
Nomination Committee are requested to do so as soon as possible, but not later
than Tuesday, April 2, 2013.

Hakon Invest's 2013 Annual General Meeting will be held on Monday, May 20, in
Stockholm. The notice of the Annual General Meeting will be published on April
17, 2013.
