Christoph Michalski appointed CEO of Vinda

Christoph Michalski, President SCA Global Hygiene Category, has been appointed
CEO of Vinda International Holdings Limited, effective October 1, 2015. This
appointment represents a clear commitment from both SCA and Vinda to strengthen
their long-term cooperation. SCA is the majority shareholder in Vinda, one of
China’s largest hygiene companies. Vinda is listed on the Hong Kong Stock
Exchange.
“I am pleased with the appointment of Christoph Michalski as CEO of Vinda. His
extensive experience in consumer goods will benefit Vinda and SCA, given SCA’s
position as the majority shareholder in Vinda. Christoph has made an excellent
contribution to SCA, enhancing the innovation process at the company and thereby
increasing the number of product launches, strengthening our brands, such as
TENA and Tork, and meeting customer and consumer needs,” says Magnus Groth,
President and CEO of SCA.

The recruitment process to identify Christoph Michalski’s successor has been
initiated.

Following the transfer to Vinda of SCA’s hygiene business in China in late 2014,
SCA and Vinda have a clear and continued interest to explore stronger
collaboration opportunities in Asia going forward. Such collaboration would
strengthen the integration of resources between SCA and Vinda, and offer
mutually competitive advantages.
