Per Mikael Jensen is leaving Metro International

Metro International S.A today announced that Metro's CEO, Per-Mikael Jensen, has
decided to leave the company.

Metro International has divested a large part of its global operations in the
past years. The main focus is now concentrated on the six Latin-American markets
and Metro Sweden. It is against this background that Per Mikael Jensen has
chosen to leave Metro.

Anders Kronborg, COO at Kinnevik, will be responsible for Metro International
going forward and Per Mikael will be at the company's disposal during his notice
period.

"Per Mikael Jensen has been with Metro since 2007 and he has been very
successful at turning Metro around. We will miss him but respect that his
current mission is fulfilled and that he wants to move on. I would like to thank
PM for his time at Metro and wish him all the best in his future endeavours"
says Anders Kronborg.

"I have had six great years at Metro International, and I have been fortunate to
work  with some very strong executives around  the World. After having been part
of consolidating the industry in Europe whilst having grown drastically in Latin
America,  this  is  now  a  good  time  to  say  thank  you  and  look for other
opportunities, either within the Group or outside" says Per Mikael Jensen.
