Peter Hallgren, President and CEO: 

  · Catena reports its best income from property management and
after-tax profit since the company's listing in 2006.
  · On final settlement, the sale of the Norwegian properties and one
property in Denmark generated a capital gain of SEK 57.2m. At the same
time, the sales resulted in a reduction of approximately SEK 11m in
rental revenue during the first six months of the year. For remaining
properties, rental revenue increased by about SEK 2m.
  · The unrealized change in value of SEK 68m was largely attributable
to the property in Haga Norra, Solna, where Catena and the City of Solna
are jointly implementing a new detailed development plan. Approval of
the new detailed development plan is expected to occur during 2011.
  · Catena's future focus, following the divestments in Denmark and
Norway, will be on metropolitan regions in the Swedish market and on
continuing to add value to the existing portfolio.
