Annual General Meeting of Søndagsavisen a-s, Friday 3 April 2009                

The Annual General Meeting was held in accordance with the circulated agenda.   

The Management's Review was presented and the Annual Report for 2008 was        
adopted. In 2008, consolidated revenue amounted to DKK 1,235.8 million, down    
13.8 % on 2007.                                                                 

The consolidated operating loss was DKK - 45.2 million in 2008, down DKK 83     
million on 2007.                                                                

The sale of two-thirds of the shares in GISAB and all the shares in Norsk       
Avisdrift generated an income of DKK 299.4 million.                             

Profit after tax was DKK 205.2 million.                                         

In the Management's Review Mads Dahl Andersen, CEO, stated that the year 2008   
was a landmark period, partly because of the financial crisis, which            
significantly affected the advertisement markets, and partly because of the     
divestments of Norsk Avisdrift in Norway and Gratistidningar in Sweden. In      
response to the heavy decline in the advertisement market, drastic cost cuts    
were made at Ofir a-s and at Søndagsavisen. As a result of the divestments of   
the subsidiaries, the Group as a whole is now free from debts. The Group is     
therefore well equipped to achieve satisfactory earnings when the advertisement 
markets are back to normal.                                                     

The Annual General Meeting adopted the Annual Report for 2008 and discharged the
Board of Directors and Management from their obligations. It also approved the  
proposed appropriation of profit for the year contained in the Annual Report.   

The Board of Directors' recommendation that no dividend be paid was adopted.    
	                                                                              
The Board of Directors' recommendation to pass a resolution to reduce the       
Company's share capital by a nominal amount of DKK 11,125,000 through           
cancellation of treasury shares was adopted.                                    

The resolution proposed by the Board of Directors to adopt a special acquisition
programme authorising the Board of Directors to acquire on behalf of the Company
shares in a total nominal amount of DKK 19,052,250 of the share capital before  
the next Annual General Meeting in 2010 was passed. The special acquisition     
programme assumes that the Company's holding of ‘treasury shares' is reduced    
once or several times by a capital reduction in the form of cancellation of     
shares in accordance with the provisions of the Danish Companies Act so that the
10 per cent limit set out in section 48(1) of the Danish Companies Act is not   
exceeded. The total market value of treasury shares acquired must not exceed    
DKK 55 million.                                                                 

The resolution proposed by the Board of Directors that the Board of Directors be
authorised to decide on the distribution of an extraordinary dividend, cf. the  
provisions of section 109a of the Danish Companies Act, was passed.             

The resolution proposed by the Board of Directors that the Board of Directors be
authorised to decide on the use of electronic communication between the Company 
and the Company's shareholders, cf. the provisions of section 65b of the Danish 
Companies Act, was passed.                                                      

The resolution proposed by the Board of Directors that the Board of Directors be
authorised to decide on the use of an electronic general meeting, whether in    
whole or in part, cf. the provisions of section 65a(2) and (1) of the Danish    
Companies Act, was passed.                                                      

The resolution proposed by the Board of Directors that in future the Annual     
Report of the Company is only to be audited by one accounting company appointed 
by the General Meeting was passed. Deloitte was appointed new auditor of the    
Company.                                                                        

Richard Bunck, Peter Rasztar, Steen Gede and Ulrik Holsted-Sandgreen were       
re-elected to the Board of Directors. Pål Bruu and Björn Lindberg resigned from 
the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors now consists of Richard Bunck,   
Peter Rasztar, Steen Gede and Ulrik Holsted-Sandgreen.                          

Immediately after the Annual General Meeting the Board of Directors was         
constituted with Richard Bunck as Chairman and Peter Rasztar as Vice Chairman.
