Holmen's Annual General Meeting - Dividend of SEK 7 per share

Holmen's Annual General Meeting - Dividend of SEK 7 per share

Holmen's AGM, held on Wednesday March 30, resolved in favour of paying a
dividend of SEK 7 per share for the 2010 financial year.
The AGM re-elected Fredrik Lundberg, Carl Bennet, Magnus Hall, Carl
Kempe, Hans Larsson, Louise Lindh, Ulf Lundahl and Göran Lundin to the
Board. Lars G Josefsson was elected to the Board and replaces Curt
Källströmer who was not available for re-election. Fredrik Lundberg was
re-elected Chairman of the Board.

Lars G Josefsson has an M. Sc. in engineering and previously held the
position of President and CEO of Vattenfall and is, amongst others,
deputy Chairman of the Third Swedish National Pension Fund and a Board
Member of Robert Bosch GmbH and Eskom Holdings Ltd.

The AGM resolved in favour of mandating the Board for the period until
the next AGM to make decisions to buy back the company's own shares via
the stock market. Acquisitions may be made of up to so many shares that
the company's holding of its own shares does not at any time exceed 10
per cent of all the shares in the company. The Board was also mandated
to make decisions to use bought-back shares as settlement for
acquisitions or to finance such acquisitions. The 2010 AGM gave the
Board a corresponding mandate.

The address to the AGM by Magnus Hall, President and CEO, is available
