Misen Energy AB (publ) submits investment dispute notice to the Government of Ukraine

Misen Energy AB (publ) (“Misen”) has submitted an investment dispute notice to
the Government of Ukraine under the Ukrainian Swedish Bilateral Investment
Treaty (“BIT”).  Misen notified Ukraine that a dispute has arisen between it and
Ukraine concerning Misen’s investment in Ukraine, and invited Ukraine to resolve
the dispute by consultation and negotiation.

As explained in previous announcements, the Ukrainian Government continues
targeted discrimination against Misen’s investments in Ukraine by applying a 70%
royalty on gas prices fixed by the regulator. If it continues to be applied, the
70% royalty will render it impossible for Misen to realize any return on its
investments in Ukraine and ultimately may even force Misen to close its
operations in Ukraine and lose the total value of its investment as well as the
expected income for the 30-year life cycle of the investments, estimated at over
USD 3 billion.

If the problems described in the notice of investment dispute cannot be settled
with the Government of Ukraine within six months, Misen reserves its right to
submit the dispute to international arbitration in accordance with the BIT.
