Summary of Gunnebo Capital Market Day in Stockholm December 18, 2008

Gunnebo Security Group's annual Capital Market Day, hosted in Stockholm, Sweden,
attracted some 40 analysts, fund managers and journalists. Apart from a run
through of the structure, strategy and the way forward, Gunnebo will give the
latest updates on the closed cash-handling system SafePay™ accounting its
progress in France and in the Region Indian Ocean Rim. Gunnebo is also declaring
an update on Group financials and risk analysis. 
Following are the high-lights from the days´ content.


Examples on strategic businesses gained during the fourth quarter:

Gunnebo has signed a framework contract with the European Commission (EC)
Gunnebo Security Group has, through its Competence Centre Electronic Security,
signed a framework contract to provide services and solutions to the European
Commission's Delegations across the world. This framework contract will be
performed over the next four years through specific contracts worth up to a
maximum of MEUR 40. 

“This is a highly prestigious agreement that shows the strength of Gunnebo as an
integrated Security Group. In the contract, a broad range of Gunnebo products
and installation skills for worldwide delivery are specified.” comments Göran
Gezelius, President and CEO of Gunnebo AB.

Gunnebo France signs order with Le Crédit Lyonnais worth MEUR 4.7
Gunnebo France has received an order from French bank Le Crédit Lyonnais for 400
SafeBag deposit systems called ADX-N. The ADX-N is a deposit system connected to
a bank network which allows transaction traceability and cardholder
identification. Customer advantages are based on the upgrades of existing
installed bases to be compliant with banks' constraints. The order value is MEUR
4.7. Delivery will begin in January 2009, and continue until the end of 2009.
After installation, the maintenance will be supported by Gunnebo through an
additional service contract for all 400 units.

“Gunnebo France has a long history of doing business with Le Crédit Lyonnais.
This important order shows that Gunnebo is a preferred supplier to the bank and
that we keep strengthening our business relations,” says Christian Guillou,
Country Manager Gunnebo France.

General summary of the day:
The conference will open with an address by Gunnebo President and CEO Göran
Gezelius, focusing on the structure, strategy and way forward for the Group. 

“Gunnebo is now a much focused security group and unique in its comprehensive
system offerings to banks, retail stores and sites needing high security
protection. In difficult times with increases in robberies, street violence and
terrorism Gunnebo offers solutions for a safer world,” says Göran Gezelius.
Regarding the current business situation, Gezelius will inform that order intake
during October and November was reasonable with a slight decrease compared to
same period last year in low, single digit, percentages.

Niklas Thoresson, General Manager Competence Centre Cash Automation will then
give an update on developments and trends within closed cash handling, and will
also demonstrate Gunnebo's latest product launch within the field: the SafePay™
SCL transfer unit which allows transport cassettes with cash from SafePay™ in
the stores' checkouts to be automatically deposited directly into a standard
format and ink protected security case for CIT pickup. 

“It is always a challenge to be a market pioneer, but now we can clearly see
that the interest in closed cash handling systems is increasing. Just one year
ago we were discussing small-scale pilot installations with both small and large
potentials; today there are more projects with a serious process of evaluation
from customers and we currently negotiate with a number of major European
retail-chains regarding large-scale roll-out of SafePay™”, comments Niklas
Thoresson. 

After that, Christian Guillou, Country Manager Gunnebo France, will give an
update on Gunnebo's operations in France, which accounts for some 24 per cent of
the Group's total turnover.

“During 2008, we have seen a drop in orders and sales, both due to external
market conditions and internal factors. Internally, we have focused on a
reduction in selling and administrative expenses,” comments Christian Guillou.

“During the last months of 2008 Gunnebo France has won some large tenders which
will show results in 2009. During 2009 Gunnebo France will switch focus from the
internal to the external; to sales aggressiveness. Our ambition is to recover
the level of operating margin we had in 2007”.

William Mouat, General Manager for Region Indian Ocean Rim, covering sales to
over 50 markets in total, will then give a presentation on the business climate
and business development in the region.

“Overall, the region is suffering from the global downturn, but it has not been
hit as hard as the USA and Europe. Generally speaking, all Gunnebo RIOR Country
Managers have a positive outlook for 2009/10,” says William Mouat.

Gunnebo's CFO and CIO Hans af Sillén will then round off the Capital Market Day
with a presentation on Gunnebo's financials and risk analysis.

“More than half of our cost variables are flexible and we continuously work to
adapt our cost structures to the prevailing business situation,” says Hans af
Sillén. “Commenting on our long-term financials, the vast majority of Gunnebo's
long-term financing will mature after Q3 2010.”
