SCA sells Softis

SCA sells Softis

SCA has sold the Softis brand, together with the associated patents and
production machines, to the Italian tissue company Sofidel. The sale is subject
to anti-trust approval from the European Commission and the German Federal
Cartel Office.

The sale includes a license to use the Zewa brand for a period of three years.
SCA has also for the future a perpetual license to continue selling Softis in
countries outside Germany and Austria.

Sofidel will transfer the Softis production machines to their own factories over
the next six months, during which period SCA will continue to manufacture Softis
under a supply arrangement.

As previously announced SCA completed the acquisition of the Procter and Gamble
tissue operations in Europe on the 1st October, including the acquisition of the
hanky brand Tempo. Pursuant to this acquisition the European Commission required
SCA to commit to sell its own hanky brand Softis in Germany and Austria to
remove anti trust concerns in this segment.
