Meda strengthens the financial headroom

Meda strengthens the financial headroom

Meda has signed an agreement with SEK (The Swedish Export Credit Corporation)
for a five-year bond loan of approximately 4 300 MSEK. The bond loan is issued
under a guarantee from EKN (The Swedish Export Credit Guarantee Board). Danske
Bank and SEB have also issued guarantees.

The proceeds will be used to refinance the bridge facility of 2 500 MSEK from
autumn of 2008. The excess amount will strengthen Meda's financial headroom. The
new loan facility doubles Meda's average debt maturity from one and a half to
three years.
