East Capital Explorer transfers SEK 123m to its shareholders through a redemption program

On 22 April, 2014, the Annual General Meeting of East Capital Explorer AB
resolved on the voluntary redemption of ordinary shares. The offer involved
redemption of a maximum of every twentieth share held in East Capital Explorer
at a redemption price of SEK 83 per share (corresponding to the Net Asset Value
per share on 28 February, 2014). The application period for the offer expired on
4 June, 2014.

Based on the final count, 1 481 049 shares were tendered for redemption,
corresponding to an acceptance level to the redemption offer of approximately
94 percent. Consequently, a total of SEK 123m will be transferred to the
shareholders.

Following redemption and a bonus issue, without issuing new shares, effected in
connection therewith, East Capital Explorer's share capital will amount to
approximately EUR 3.6m divided on 29,943,260 shares. Payment of the redemption
amount is estimated to be made around 25 June, 2014.

The average price for the sold redemption rights in the commission-free sale
procedure amounted to SEK 1.23 per redemption right. Payment of proceeds from
sale of redemption rights free of commission was made on 5 June, 2014.
