and reconstructions. Notices of termination amounted to SEKm 246 (261), of which

more than 18 months remaining length of contract. Hence net leasing for the year

“2014 became a year in which we not only increased growth by 8%, but also
strengthened the company further – primarily through strategic repositioning of
the portfolio” says CEO Henrik Saxborn in a statement. “I look forward to 2015 -
a year with continued, if cautious, growth in Sweden. To achieve our growth
objective in such an economy and against the background of Castellum’s strategic
sales during last autumn, it is important that we continue the high activity,
focus on efficient and sustainable management as well as on investments,”
Saxborn adds.
