The transfer of Procter & Gamble's European Tissue operations to SCA was
completed today. The total purchase price is approximately EUR 512 million, and
the first payment of EUR 329 million was made in cash in connection with the
closure.

The remaining part of the purchase price, EUR 183 million, will be paid
following agreed technical adjustments at certain plants, which are expected to
be completed during the first half of 2008. 

The acquisition gives SCA key prerequisites for the creation of an even better
platform for consumer-driven awareness and will strengthen our market positions
in several important markets. The acquisition was described earlier in press
releases dated 12 March and 5 September 2007. These can be accessed at
