Report from the Extraordinary General Meeting: SEK 5 per share to be
transferred to Sectra shareholders

Today, the IT and medical technology company Sectra held an
Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) at the company's headquarters in
Linköping, Sweden. Pursuant to the Board's proposal, the EGM resolved
that SEK 5 per share be transferred to shareholders through a 2:1 share
split, combined with a mandatory redemption process and stock dividend.
All in all, the decision entails that SEK 184,210,440 will be repaid to
shareholders.

The reason for the transfer is Sectra's strong financial position, with
an equity/assets ratio of 64% on the most recent reporting date.
Sectra's financial position for this financial year was significantly
strengthened due to the divestment of the operation for the development,
production and marketing of the Sectra MicroDose Mammography modality.
Sectra's equity/assets ratio shall amount to not less than 30% according
to the company's financial targets, which will also be achieved with
ample margin after the decision concerning the redemption process.

The redemption process is automatic, entailing that no action is
required from shareholders. It will also be possible to trade redemption
stock of class B shares on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm AB from December 8, 2011
until December 20, 2011. More information about the redemption process
is available on Sectra's
website (http://www.sectra.com/corporate/investor/corporate_governance/a
nnual_general_meetings.html).

including the right to redemption shares
