Stockholm, Sweden, and De Bilt, the Netherlands, 13 October 2015

Sweco AB (publ) (“Sweco”) (Nasdaq Stockholm; ticker symbol SWECA and SWECB) and
Grontmij N.V. (“Grontmij”) (Euronext Amsterdam; ticker symbol GRONT) jointly
announce that the post-closing acceptance period (na-aanmeldingstermijn) (the
“Post-Closing Acceptance Period”) relating to the public mixed exchange and cash
offer (the "Offer") for all the issued and outstanding ordinary shares in the
capital of Grontmij ("Grontmij Shares") expired at 17:40 hours CET on Friday 9
October 2015. During the Post-Closing Acceptance Period, 8,218,808 Grontmij
Shares[1] (http://#_ftn1), representing approximately 10.80% of all Grontmij
Shares, were tendered. The Grontmij Shares tendered in the Post-Closing
Acceptance Period, together with the 65,887,617 Grontmij
Shares[2] (http://#_ftn2) that were already held by Sweco following Settlement
of the Grontmij Shares tendered in the initial Offer Period, represent
approximately 97.36% of all Grontmij Shares.

Settlement

With reference to the Offer Memorandum, published on 13 July 2015, holders of
issued and outstanding ordinary shares in the capital of Grontmij (“Grontmij
Shareholders”) who have tendered Grontmij Shares under the Post-Closing
Acceptance Period will be paid 0.22195 newly issued and fully paid class B
shares in the capital of Sweco (the “Sweco B Shares”) for each Grontmij Share
tendered (the “Exchange Ratio”), and a cash amount of EUR 1.84 (together, the
“Offer Price”) for each Grontmij Share validly tendered, or defectively
tendered, provided that such defect has been waived by Sweco, or cured, and
transferred (geleverd) by the relevant Grontmij Shareholder.

Payment and delivery of the Offer Price for the Grontmij Shares tendered during
the Post-Closing Acceptance Period will occur on 16 October 2015 (the
“Settlement Date”).

Issue of new Sweco B Shares

As authorized by the extraordinary general meeting of Sweco, held on 24 August
2015, and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, the board of directors of
Sweco has previously resolved to issue new Sweco B Shares as consideration to
the Grontmij Shareholders who tendered Grontmij Shares under the Offer. In
response to tenders made during the Post-Closing Acceptance Period, 1,824,164
new Sweco B Shares will be issued as consideration and approximately EUR
15,122,600 (SEK 140,800,000)[3] (http://#_ftn3) will be paid as Cash
Consideration in the Offer to such tendering Grontmij Shareholders.

Thereafter, the total Offer Price paid out to Grontmij Shareholders in response
to tenders made during both the initial Offer Period and the Post-Closing
Acceptance Period is 14,940,992 newly issued Sweco B Shares and a Cash
Consideration of approximately EUR 123,863,150 (SEK
1,153,170,000).[4] (http://#_ftn4)

Listing on Nasdaq Stockholm

Existing Sweco B shares are currently admitted to trading on Nasdaq Stockholm.
New Sweco B Shares issued under the Offer will be admitted to listing and
trading on Nasdaq Stockholm as of the Settlement Date.

Financing of the Offer

As previously announced, the Cash Consideration for the Offer will be funded
through a bridge facility from Nordea Bank AB. The bridge facility is intended
to be largely repaid by the equity proceeds of a rights issue to be undertaken
after the Settlement Date. The pro rata participation of Sweco's major
shareholders in the rights issue is secured. Those Grontmij shareholders who
have accepted the Offer and are still holders of Sweco shares at the relevant
record date of the rights issue will be given the opportunity to participate in
that rights issue pro rata to their shareholding at the relevant record date.

Delisting and statutory buy-out

In accordance with the Euronext Amsterdam policies and listing rules, Sweco and
Grontmij will today apply to delist the Grontmij Shares from Euronext Amsterdam,
and the termination of the listing agreement between Grontmij and Euronext
Amsterdam in relation to the listing of the Grontmij Shares, such that it is
expected that the last trading day will be 17 November 2015 and Grontmij will be
delisted on 18 November 2015.

Sweco intends to promptly commence a statutory buy-out procedure
(uitkoopprocedure) in accordance with article 2:92a or 2:359c of the Dutch Civil
Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) to buy the Grontmij Shares that are not already owned
by Sweco. Under Dutch law, the Sweco share price as at the Settlement Date of 16
October 2015 should be used for determining the cash value of the
Offer.[5] (http://#_ftn5) No Dutch dividend withholding tax (dividendbelasting)
will apply for a disposal of the Grontmij Shares under such statutory buy-out.
The Dutch corporate income tax and individual income tax consequences of such
statutory buy-out are the same as the Dutch corporate income tax and individual
income tax consequences of the Offer.

Given that Sweco has secured more than 95 % of all Grontmij shares, Sweco will
proceed with a statutory buy-out procedure instead of a statutory cross border
merger.
