Scania accelerates its third quarter report

During the process of completing the third quarter report, it has become clear that Scania’s result for the period and the prospects for 2006 are considerably better than market expectations. This was communicated in the form of a press release on
11 October.

Against this background and the fact that MAN has acquired a substantial number of A and B shares in Scania, the management of Scania believes it is of utmost importance that all shareholders have access to equivalent information in order to allow a correct valuation of the company.

Scania’s management has therefore decided to publish a preliminary report for the third quarter. The full report will be published on 16 October, as previously announced.
