Kungsleden—supporting Aktiefrämjandet

Press Release 15 January 2010

Listed Swedish property company Kungsleden AB (publ) has taken a decision to
support the ‘Young Personal Finance' project run by Aktiefrämjandet, an
independent Swedish foundation promoting share saving, with a SEK 4 m donation.
The aim of the project is to provide Sweden's senior high school students with
better knowledge of personal finance and saving in shares and mutual funds. 

The project's communication staff will be running an educational programme for
some 12,000 students nationwide for one academic year, while also publishing
specialised educational material for home or more advanced study.

Kungsleden's SEK 4 m donation, intended for use on the project over four years,
will enable these activities to be scaled up and reach even more young people. 

“Supporting the important work of the Young Personal Finance project feels
natural,” commented Kungsleden's Chief Executive Thomas Erséus, “providing the
country's young people with fundamental information on savings in shares and
mutual funds is important, not only for individuals and society generally, but
also for us as a listed company. Kungsleden has over 25,000 shareholders, many
of them private individuals.”
