Reduction of share capital in Sweco AB

​

During September 2010, the permission to execute a reduction of the share capital by SEK 485,263 without repayment to the shareholders through the cancellation of 485,263 class B shares, was registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. The cancellation is based on a resolution by the annual general meeting 2010 and corresponds to those shares that have been held in treasury by the company for delivery to participants in previous share bonus programmes, but which were not required for that purpose.

Therefore, the total number of shares in Sweco totals 91,516,847, whereof 9,389,075  series A shares and 82,127,772 series B shares. Sweco holds 559,073 treasury shares. The total number of votes in Sweco is 17,601,852.2. However, Sweco does not have voting rights for the series B shares in treasury. Share capital totals SEK 91,516,847.

In accordance with law, Swedish corporations whose shares are traded on a regulated market must, if a change in the total number of shares or voting rights has occurred, make public such change on the last trading day in the calendar month in which the change occurred.
