- Current Board members reelected and Birgitta Klasén newly elected - Shareholder dividend of SEK 0.70 per share

Eniro AB (publ) held its Annual General Meeting today. In his address to the Meeting, CEO and President Lars Guldstrand summarized Eniro's performance and achievements during 2001. Several important steps were taken during the year toward the fulfillment of the Company's strategic objectives: strengthened positions in existing markets, establishment of online services and continued international expansion. In the short term, Eniro can expect to be affected by the ongoing recession and a declining advertising market. In the long term, Eniro has a sound platform, with strong positions in attractive markets, ranging from markets such as Sweden that already makes a major contribution to earnings, to companies with similar development prospects. Reelection of the present members of the Board and Birgitta Klasén newly elected Board members Björn Svedberg, John Abrahamson, Lars Berg, Per Bystedt, Jan Rudberg and Lars Guldstrand (CEO and President) were reelected. Birgitta Klasén was newly elected to the Board.

The Board will be authorized to decide on an issue of new shares based on the conditions as referred to in Chapter 4, Section 6 of the Swedish Companies Act (payment in kind or set-off) and with deviation from the pre-emption rights of shareholders.
