Catella’s dividend policy

The board of directors of Catella AB (publ) has adopted a dividend policy which shall apply as from the 2012 financial year.

The board of directors has adopted the following dividend policy:

‟Catella’s objective is to transfer to the shareholders such portion of the Group’s profit after tax as is not deemed necessary for the development of the Group’s operational activities, and taking into account the Company’s strategy and financial position. Adjusted for non-realised increases in value in terms of earnings, over time at least 50% of the Group’s profit after tax shall be transferred to the shareholders in the form of dividends, share buybacks, or redemption of shares.”

In the notice to attend the 2012 annual general meeting it is stated that the board of directors proposes that no ordinary dividend be issued to the shareholders in respect of the 2011 financial year.

Upon completion of the sale of Banque Invik, the board of directors intends to issue a proposal regarding a dividend to shareholders in respect of the 2011 financial year in line with the new dividend policy.
