Bure sells holdings in Carnegie Holding, Carnegie Asset Management and Max Matthiessen.

Bure Equity has sold all of its shares in Carnegie Holding, Carnegie Asset
Management and Max Matthiessen to Altor Fund III. The sale generate a
preliminary capital gain of approximately SEK 280 million for Bure.
In February 2009 Bure Equity and Altor Fund III together acquired the shares in
the former Carnegie Investment Bank and Max Matthiessen from the Swedish
National Debt Office.

The sales price consists of a cash payment of SEK 629
million and possible conditional consideration in a maximum amount of SEK 106
million. The preliminary capital gain in the Parent Company, excluding
conditional consideration, is estimated at approximately SEK 280 million, equal
to around SEK 3.5 per share. Bure’s net asset value, which was reported at SEK
27.02 per share on 24 April 2012, amounts to around SEK 30.5 per share after
this transaction.

”We are highly satisfied with the way in which we have
developed these operations together with Altor and the companies’ employees
since the acquisitions. The investments have also created significant value for
Bure’s shareholders. Businesses of this type have a need for well defined
principal ownership and responsibility. We believe that the process of change
that Carnegie Holding is undergoing can be carried out more effectively with
Altor as the sole principal owner,” says Patrik Tigerschiöld, CEO of Bure
Equity.

The transaction is conditional on the customary approvals and is
expected to be completed during the current year.
