SEB sells own shares

The SEB board has decided to sell a part of the bank's shareholdings. The decision to sell, which was announced in SEB's interim report Q2 2006, has been taken after approval at the Annual General Meeting. The sale of approximately 3 million Class A shares, is taking place as a result of the review of the hedging arrangement of SEB Group's long term incentive program.
 
The sale, which starts today, will be executed at the Stockholm Stock Exchange within the "spread", and transactions will be reported through the Stockholm Stock Exchange in accordance with existing regulations. In addition, SEB's web site (www.sebgroup.com) will be regularly updated.
 
The total amount of shares in SEB is 687 156 631, of which 663 004 123 Class A shares and 24 152 508 Class C shares. On August 25 2006 SEB had 14 239 127 Class A shares as hedging arrangement of the long term incentive program.
