Announcement from Extraordinary General Meeting of East Capital Explorer AB

- Intention to initiate share buyback program 20 May
The Extraordinary General Meeting of East Capital Explorer AB (publ) today
approved the Board’s proposal to terminate the Investment Agreement regulating
the relation between the Company and East Capital and certain affiliates, with
immediate effect. The agreed joint termination shall come into force within ten
days from the EGM’s approval.

The Investment Agreement is replaced with effect from the termination becoming
effective, with a Transition and Termination Agreement that regulates
commitments by and services from East Capital (and affiliates) in favor of the
Company, primarily during the transition period until the end of December 2017,
inclusive of the compensation for these commitments and services to East Capital
and affiliates, as set out in the Board’s complete proposal.

As a result of the EGM’s decision, and as announced on 7 April 2016, the Company
intends to initiate a broad and active share buyback program linked to the share
price discount to NAV, whereby share buybacks will be carried out for as long as
the discount relative to the most recently published NAV is more than 20%. The
Company intends to initiate the buyback program on 20 May 2016, the day after
publication of its interim report for the first quarter.

The Board’s complete proposal is available on:
