Conversion of shares

According to SCA's articles of association, owners of Class A shares have the
right to have such shares converted to Class B shares. Conversion reduces the
total number of votes in the company. In connection with a conversion, the
company is obligated by law to disclose any such changes in this manner.

In October, at the request of shareholders, 1,530,000 Class A shares were
converted to Class B shares. The total number of votes in the company thereafter
amounts to 1,704,201,957. 

The total number of registered shares in the company amounts to 705,110,094, of
which 111,010,207 are Class A shares and 594,099,887 are Class B shares.
