have been transferred to SEB, as the settlement agent of the Tender Offer and
subsequently delivered by SEB to the shareholders of Rottneros, who had accepted
the Tender Offer during the period from January 3, 2013 until February 4, 2013
(inclusive). The Company has notified about the Tender Offer for the sale or

Warrants by way of subscribing for the New Shares being issued by the Company on
