STOCKHOLM, Sweden, May 02, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- On 2 May 2005, the AGM of Meda AB took these decisions to:
Distribute company profits as per the board's proposal regarding a
dividend of SEK 2 per share and to carry forward the surplus to
the 2005 balance sheet. The day of record for dividends is expected
to be 6 May 2005. Dividends are expected to be distributed via VPC

Compensate board members with a total of SEK 950,000 of which SEK
500 000 is for the board chairman and SEK 150,000 is for each of
the other board members who are not Meda employees. An additional
SEK 400,000 shall be paid during the fiscal year to the board
chairman for work outside the scope of regular board
responsibilities. Compensation shall not be paid to board members
who are employed by the company.
