New Mekonomen Medium establishments in Norrbotten/Northern Sweden

Mekonomen and EPS Gruppen AB has entered an agreement on establishing a
Mekonomen Medium unit in Kiruna, combining a store and a Mekonomen
Bilverkstad/workshop, with an outstanding offering in terms of availability and
service level. The goal is to initiate this collaboration during the autumn of
2009 and to develop the collaboration further with another Mekonomen Medium
unit, in Gällivare, during 2010. The units will operate in a subsidiary wholly
owned by EPS Gruppen.

EPS Gruppen (the EPS Group) is a family owned company and is a dealership for
Volvo, Ford and Renault since 50 years. The business encompasses sales and
service of cars, transport vehicles and buses. The revenue of the Group was 457
MSEK in 2008. This collaboration will lead to further growth in the service
market for cars and transport vehicles.

- We consider the Mekonomen concept to be very interesting for us and we see
that this collaboration will develop our offering and enable a further expansion
of our business, says Per Eriksson, President and CEO of EPS Gruppen.

- We are very satisfied with collaborating with one of the most successful Volvo
dealerships in Sweden, which will facilitate an even stronger offering to our
customers, says Håkan Lundstedt, President and CEO Mekonomen.
