Acquisition of own shares

The Broström Board of Directors has decided to acquire own shares based on the authorisation by the Annual General Meeting on 3 May 2006. The Company will acquire up to 1 million Class B shares, corresponding to about 3 per cent of the share capital of the company.

Acquisitions can be made until the next Annual General Meeting which means during a period starting on 14 December 2006 until 2 May 2007. Acquisitions will not be made within 30 days of the publication of quarterly or preliminary reports.

The purpose of the acquisitions is to adjust the Company’s capital structure to the capital requirements of the Company and also contribute to an increased shareholder’s value and enable acquisition of companies, vessels and/or business activities.

The acquisitions will be made on the Stockholm Stock Exchange at a price within, and by each time registered price interval. As of today the Company holds no own shares.
