Castellum is evaluating the possibilities of acquiring a significant property portfolio

With reference to Nasdaq Stockholm’s decision on 7 March 2016 to halt the
trading in the shares of Castellum AB (publ) and all other instruments connected
to the shares as well as Castellum’s bonds at 17:05 CET on the same date until
further notice pursuant to Chapter 22, Section 1, first paragraph of the Swedish
Securities Market Act, Castellum confirms that it is currently evaluating the
possibilities of acquiring Norrporten’s property portfolio.
Castellum is one of Sweden’s largest real property companies with a total
property value of SEK 42 billion. One of Castellum’s characteristics is the goal
to develop its property portfolio by yearly net investments of 5% of the
property value. There are many business opportunities for Castellum and the
company therefore evaluates potential acquisitions and divestments of properties
in order to develop its property portfolio on a continuous basis. Such a
business opportunity is an acquisition of Norrporten’s property portfolio, which
the company, therefore, is also currently evaluating. At present, there is,
however, no additional information to announce, but the company intends to
inform the market if the on-going evaluation results in the company carrying out
an acquisition.

Castellum has engaged Carnegie Investment Bank in connection with the
evaluation.

Castellum AB (publ) publishes this information in compliance with the Swedish
Securities Market Act and/or the Swedish Act on Trading in Financial
Instruments.
