Hakon Invest's position on Hemtex new share issue

Hemtex has today, in conjunction with publication of the company's report for
the third quarter, announced that the company intends to carry out a new share
issue with preferential rights for existing shareholders. This since the company
in October did not meet the terms in its loan agreement with the banks.

The details of the new issue will be published in conjunction with Hemtex's
year-end report on 15 February 2011. The new issue will be carried out during
the company's first quarter 2011. Until implementation of the new issue, the
banks have issued a bank guarantee, a so-called waiver. Hakon Invest guarantees
its share in the issue, 68.5% of the share capital, provided reasonable terms
apply.
