Refinancing process update

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES

On August 1, 2012, a temporary extension was carried out of Nobina Europe's Senior Notes, with a new maturity date of October 31, 2012. Almost 100% of the note holders intend to accept the suggested refinancing solution.

The suggested refinancing solution comprises that approximately 25% of principal under the old Senior Notes is converted into shares issued by Nobina AB, corresponding to a 95% stake in Nobina AB. The remaining part of the principal under the old Senior Notes is refinanced in a new note issued by Nobina Europe AB with the following indicative terms:

• Notes in Swedish kronor with a euro tranche which can be converted into Swedish kronor          
• Listing on Nasdaq OMX in Stockholm          
• Five year term to maturity with a put option for the holders after two years, conditional on a strong cash build-up in the Company
• Annual coupon of 11%, payable in cash
• Repayment possibility at nominal amount throughout the term of the notes        

The above requires an extra general meeting in Nobina AB in order to issue the shares that the note holders will obtain, as well as handling of the management's incentive program.

Swedbank First Securities and Handelsbanken Capital Markets have been retained as Nobina AB's financial advisors.
