Rising property values increase Fabege's estimated adjusted equity to SEK 123 per share

Rising property values increase Fabege's estimated adjusted equity to SEK 123 per share In view of Wihlborgs' tender offer, Fabege has commissioned an independent appraisal of its property portfolio as of June 30. The new appraisal shows that the value of Fabege's properties totaled SEK 17.5 billion as of mid-year. The appreciation in the value of the portfolio during the first half year corresponds to an increase in adjusted equity of SEK 3 per share. As previously announced, the appraisal was conducted by DTZ, which also handled the appraisal at year-end 2003. Based on the revised valuation, Fabege's estimated adjusted equity amounted to SEK 123 per share. The increase from SEK 114 per share1 at year-end 2003 is attributable in part to profit/flow from property management operations, in part to properties sold for more than their year-end market valuations and in part to an appreciation in the value of the existing portfolio based on the updated assessment.
