Conversion of shares

Conversion of shares  

According to SCA's articles of association, owners of Class A shares have the
right to have such shares converted to Class B shares. Conversion reduces the
total number of votes in the company. When such a conversion has occurred, the
company is obligated by law to disclose any such changes in this manner.

In March, at the request of shareholders, 877,954 Class A shares were converted
to Class B shares. The total number of votes in the company thereafter amounts
to 1,624,478,985.

The total number of registered shares in the company amounts to 705,110,094, of
which 102,152,099 are Class A shares and 602,957,995 are Class B shares.
