Changes in Investor AB’s Management Group

On January 28, 2015, Investor’s Board of Directors announced the appointment of
Johan Forssell as new CEO from May 12, 2015. Against this background, Investor’s
Management Group will consist of the following members with respective
responsibilities:

Johan Forssell – President and CEO
Helena Saxon – CFO
Daniel Nodhäll – Listed Core Investments
Petra Hedengran – General Counsel, corporate governance, investments in EQT
funds
Stefan Stern – Communication, Public Affairs and CSR

These changes will be effective May 12, with the exception of Helena Saxon who
assumed her position on March 1 and Petra Hedengran who has been a member of the
Management Group since 2007. The retirement age for the Management Group is 60
years. As a consequence, Lennart Johansson will leave the Management Group on
May 12 and assume a role as Senior Advisor for Patricia Industries.

“Our strategy is to further sharpen our work as a long-term, professional and
supportive owner of our world-leading companies, as well as to continue to
strengthen our ownership in selected listed core investments. As the incoming
CEO, my ambition has been to create a management group with the best possible
ability to execute these strategic ambitions”, comments incoming CEO Johan
Forssell.

On January 28, the establishment of a new division within Investor, Patricia
Industries, headed by the current CEO Börje Ekholm, was also announced. The
ambition is to expand our portfolio of wholly-owned subsidiaries. In line with
these changes, Christian Cederholm will be responsible for Patricia Industries’
Stockholm office and Noah Walley for the New York office. The new division will
be operated separately with a board or committee making the investment
decisions. This board/committee will consist of Marcus Wallenberg, Jacob
Wallenberg, Johan Forssell and Börje Ekholm, as well as external members with
relevant experience.

“With Patricia Industries as a separate division, we can strengthen our focus on
further building out our exposure to operating subsidiaries as well as improving
our ownership process for unlisted companies.” says Johan Forssell.
