Metro International: Metro files for delisting

Investment   AB  Kinnevik  ("Kinnevik"),  through  the  wholly-owned  subsidiary
Kinnevik  Media Holding AB,  on 10 April 2012 completed  the public tender offer
for  Metro International  S.A. ("Metro"  or the  "Company"). After  the extended
acceptance  period, Kinnevik controlled in total approximately 94 percent of the
total   number  of  outstanding  shares  of  series  A  (and  votes)  in  Metro,
approximately  95 percent of the total number  of outstanding shares of series B
in  Metro (in total approximately 95 percent  of the total number of outstanding
shares of series A and B in Metro), approximately 98 percent of the total number
of  warrants  in  Metro  and  approximately  97 percent  of  the total number of
debentures in Metro.

Based  on the  above, the  Board of  Directors of  Metro considers that it is no
longer  justified for the Company to remain  listed and has therefore decided to
request  that the  shares, warrants  and debentures  of the Company are delisted
from  NASDAQ  OMX  Stockholm.  Last  day  for  trading  in the Company's shares,
warrants and debentures on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm will be announced as soon as the
Company has received notice thereof from NASDAQ OMX Stockholm.
