Investor’s decision following new information on Volkswagen’s bid for Scania

Today, Volkswagen published the results of its bid for Scania. Together with
already held or controlled shares, Volkswagen’s ownership in Scania thereby
amounts to 88.25 percent of the total number of shares.

According to today’s results, more than two thirds of the minority shareholders
in Scania have tendered their shares.

Investor’s holds a trading position, i.e. a holding with a limited investment
horizon, representing less than 0.4 percent of the total number of shares.

"With our limited trading position and given the wide acceptance among other
shareholders, we do not wish to contribute to an unclear ownership structure in
Scania. Given the new information, Investor will tender its shares", comments
Investor’s President and CEO Börje Ekholm.

"Based on the results of the bid, we believe this is the best for Scania. Our
view of Volkswagen being an industrially good owner of Scania has remained
unchanged over time, since it became the lead owner in 2000", concludes Börje
Ekholm.
