"We have the pleasure of inviting you to our sixth annual Capital Market Days, to be held in Birmingham, England.

"This is my first Capital Market Days as President and CEO for the ASSA ABLOY Group. I feel great confidence and enthusiasm in leading ASSA ABLOY further. The third step in our growth strategy is to increase focus on creating value for our customers which will be reviewed during the Capital Market Days.

"We will include a general strategic update including latest developments. We shall also present where we stand in our endeavours of leveraging our Group strengths, in particular focusing on our UK operations as an example. Over and above this we will look at our new initiatives with the consumer project and our Identification business. We will have the possibility for questions at the end of each presentation.

"The program will start on Tuesday 27 May at 12.00 noon which will give you enough to time fly in on a morning flight. The conference will conclude at 12.00 noon on Wednesday 28 May.
