-       ICA Gruppen’s CEO, Per Strömberg, comments: "The divestment of Cervera
is in line with the strategy adopted in the autumn of 2013, which means that we
are focusing our non-food offering. With this transaction, together with the
divestment of Kjell & Company in May 2014 and the divestment of Forma in October
2014, we have now completed this process.

Today, Cervera has a national retail network consisting of approximately 70
stores. Cervera’s sales amounted to SEK 745 million in 2014. ICA Gruppen’s
ownership share in Cervera amounts to 91.4%. Other shareholders sell their
shares in the transaction on the same terms.

The sale, which is subject to approval by the Swedish Competition Authority, is
expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2015.

Handelsbanken Capital Markets has acted as financial advisor to ICA Gruppen in
connection with the transaction.
