Eniro will proceed with the Offer for SOL

Eniro AB (publ) ("Eniro") has now received acceptances from approximately 98 per cent of the shareholders in Scandinavia Online AB (publ) ("SOL") on the offer Eniro announced on 20 November, 2001 ("the Offer").

All conditions for the Offer have now been fulfilled and Eniro has decided to proceed with the Offer. The ordinary acceptance period of Eniro's Offer to the shareholders of SOL expired on 14 December, 2001.
