Nobia appoints Preben Bager as acting business unit manager


The ongoing measures to rectify the delivery problems at HTH
resulting from changes aimed at increasing productivity in the
factory, as reported in the Q2 Interim Report, have not proceeded at
a satisfactory pace.

Therefore, Nobia has appointed Preben Bager as acting business unit
manager of HTH to replace Henning Storm. In addition, the technical
manager of HTH, Henry Koch, will leave the company.

Preben Bager was business unit manager of HTH between 1992 and 2004.
He is currently business unit manager for Magnet in the UK, as well
as executive vice president operations for the UK region. He will
divide his time between Denmark and the UK until the recruitment of a
permanent business unit manager is completed. Henning Storm will
remain within the Nobia Group to assist the new HTH management.
