been allotted convertibles according to the principles outlined in the
prospectus. No convertibles will be allotted to subscriptions without
preferential rights. Settlement notes will be sent out on or around May 3, 2012
to subscribers who have been allotted convertible bonds. Payment of allotted
convertible bonds shall be made in accordance with the instruction on the
settlement note and be paid in cash no later than the third banking day after
notification of allotment has been received by the subscriber. The convertible
bonds will be delivered as soon as possible after the settlement day with notice
from Euroclear Sweden. Only those who have been allotted convertible bonds will
be notified.

The final day for trading in paid subscribed convertibles (BTUs)
is expected to be on May 4, 2012. Note that there will be no trading in BTUs or
convertible bonds on May 7, 2012 in order to effect the conversion of BTUs into
