Catena convenes Extraordinary General Meeting for election of new Board of Directors

Catena’s Board of Directors has received a written request from representatives of CLS Holding plc, Erik Selin Fastigheter AB and Catella Fonder, which combined hold more than 60 percent of all shares outstanding in the company, to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting for election of a new Board of Directors. The request reflects the major changes in the ownership structure that have occurred recently, in which CLS Holding plc and Erik Selin Fastigheter AB have acquired approximately 50 percent of the shares. Accordingly, the Board has decided to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting. Notice is being published October 1, 2007 in Svenska Dagbladet and the Swedish Official Gazette (Post och Inrikes Tidningar) as well as on the company’s website. The Meeting will be held on October 16, 2007, in Gothenburg, Sweden.

“It is favorable that Catena’s largest shareholders now assume positions on the company’s Board,” says Board Chairman Curt Lönnström. “That is the way it should be in an exchange-listed company. We members of the outgoing Board of Directors extend thanks for the confidence shown us since the listing and wish Catena and the new Board of Directors all future success.”
