Song Networks Holding AB (Stockholmsbörsen: SONW) announces today that Tomas Franzén is leaving his post as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Song Networks Holding AB and its Swedish subsidiary. He will continue to serve as a member of the Board of Song Networks Holding AB. The Chairman of Song Networks Holding AB, Kjell Nilsson, takes over provisionally as Chief Executive Officer. Mats Lundqvist, Deputy Managing Director of the Swedish subsidiary, takes over as Acting Managing Director of Song Networks Holding AB and as Managing Director of the Swedish subsidiary. Kjell Nilsson was born in 1948. He has been a board member of Song Networks since 2003 and took up the position of Chairman of the Board in March 2004. During his career, Kjell has been Managing Director of Boliden and Trelleborg, and has also held various positions within the Electrolux Group. Tomas Franzén, who joined Song Networks on 1 April 2002, leaves his post at the end of May to become Chief Executive Officer of Eniro on 1 June 2004. “The work at Song Networks has been fantastically exciting, as we have successfully restructured the company and brought order to our operations,” says Tomas Franzén. “The fact that we have never failed to achieve the targets we set ourselves is testament to the company’s potential. The reason why I am leaving Song Networks right now is that I have received an offer which, from a personal consideration, I cannot refuse. From Song Networks’ own perspective the time is also right, as the company now has a strong footing and a well-functioning organisation. In my capacity as a member of the board of Song Networks, I shall continue to contribute towards making Song Networks a successful company,” he concludes. “Tomas has been a real asset in his efforts to restructure the company and subsequently develop competitive operations,” says Kjell Nilsson. “He deserves the utmost respect and we are sorry that he has decided to leave us. We are happy that Mats Lundqvist, with his extensive experience of the company and sector, is stepping in as Acting Managing Director of Song Networks Holding AB and Managing Director of our Swedish subsidiary, as this will ensure continuity in our operations. Financially, Song Networks is performing well in line with our expectations and I look forward to the future with optimism,” he adds. As previously planned, Song Networks will present its interim report for the first quarter on 7 May.
