Nolato keeps its high-tech status and current tax rate in China

Nolato keeps its high-tech status and current tax rate in China

Nolato has been given the green light to keep its high-tech status for the
2011-2013 financial years, and will therefore maintain an income tax rate of 15%
in China during these years. Reported tax expenses for 2011 are therefore in
line with the decision.

During the period 2008-2010, Nolato has held high-tech status in China, which
has involved an income tax rate of 15%. This can be compared with the normal tax
rate of 25% for companies in China.

At the end of 2010, Nolato applied for an extension of its high-tech status for
the period 2011-2013. The application documents have been reviewed by the
Chinese tax authority during 2011.

In 2011, Nolato has reported Group tax expenses based on a renewal of its
high-tech status, i.e. based on a tax rate of 15% in China.
