Bulletin from Elekta's Annual General Meeting 2011

A total of 433 shareholders who were entitled to vote, representing
59,45 per cent of the total votes, participated in the annual general
meeting of Elekta AB (publ).

  · Per-share dividend to shareholders of SEK 4.00 (3.00)
  · Akbar Seddigh, Hans Barella, Luciano Cattani, Vera Kallmeyer,
Laurent Leksell, Jan Secher and Birgitta Stymne Göransson were reelected
to the board
  · Siaou-Sze Lien and Wolfgang Reim were elected new members of the

Elekta CEO Tomas Puusepp began his presentation by stressing the
importance of an innovative approach for companies that want to remain
in the forefront of development. Ever since its earliest days, Elekta
has never lost sight of that attitude.

Mr. Puusepp commented on the company's performance during fiscal year
2010/11 and the first quarter of 2011/12, as well as the forecast for
the entire year.

He also described Elekta's strategy and focus on growth.

"We expect the pace of our geographical expansion to accelerate over the
next few years, providing more people around the world with access to
cancer care. Elekta is already a leader in most growth markets, which
now account for approximately one-third of group sales."

Mr. Puusepp offered several examples of growth drivers in the area of
cancer care:

-       Due to rising prosperity, people are living longer and
developing cancer and other age-related diseases.

-       Access to care is unevenly distributed around the world, which
is creating growing demand in developing countries.

-       Hospitals and patients are asking for non-invasive treatment
options more than ever before.

-       Healthcare systems are becoming more advanced and dependent on
IT applications.

In closing, Mr. Puusepp thanked Elekta's employees for their
extraordinary efforts during the year.
