BJÖRN BORG DISCONTINUES OPERATIONS IN CHINA


Björn Borg decided in late 2011 to launch sales in China in cooperation with a
local partner and since fall 2012 has been active in the country through a
company with Björn Borg as principal owner (75 percent). As announced in Björn
Borg’s latest interim report, the operations in the Chinese market have not
developed as expected and the company does not believe that the local partner
can contribute to achieving the established goals. Against this background a
decision has been made to discontinue Björn Borg’s operations in China in 2013.

The discontinuation is not expected to have any significant financial
consequences for the Björn Borg Group beyond the operating losses already
planned for the current year. As of 2014 the company no longer anticipates any
expenses related to China.
