Information on Hemtex in Hakon Invest AB’s interim report

Since the end of June, Hemtex has been a subsidiary of Hakon Invest AB. Because Hakon Invest AB is publishing its interim report today, November 4, we would like to inform the public that this report also contains previously undisclosed information on the performance of Hemtex. The information disclosed in Hakon Invest AB’s interim report pertains to the period July-September 2009, a period that deviates from Hemtex’s normal reporting period during the company’s split fiscal year. Net sales for the period July-September 2009 amounted to SEK 296.4 (324.3) M and the company reported an operating loss of SEK 51.7 M (3.1). Hemtex’s interim report on the company’s second quarter, August-October 2009, will be published on December 3, 2009. Today, Hemtex has published the official notification of an extraordinary general meeting to be held on December 2, 2009. The purpose of the extraordinary general meeting is to enable shareholders to vote on a change of Hemtex AB’s fiscal year to the calendar year, in order to match the fiscal year of the Parent Company and thus to facilitate future financial reporting.
