SCAN ACQUIRES INTEREST IN SWEDISH CONVENIENCE FOOD COMPANY

Scan AB, the company responsible for the HKScan Group's Swedish operations, has
acquired a 15-percent minority holding in convenience food producer Matfabriken
i Skandinavien AB. Based in central Sweden, Matfabriken employs around 100
persons and its net sales in 2008 are projected at EUR 10 million. Its main
products include ready-to-eat sandwiches and pasta salads. The company uses its
own refrigerated fleet to distribute its products directly to customers, the
biggest of which are central organisation ICA, Statoil and SAS. 

Matfabriken's operative management will retain their positions also after the
share acquisition. The transaction includes an option for Scan to acquire the
remaining shares in Matfabriken at a later date.
