SWECO to implement resale of treasury shares

The Board of Directors of SWECO has decided, with the support of an
authorisation granted by the AGM on 26 April 2007, to implement a resale of not
more than 12,000 class B treasury shares to NNBK Finnmark AS. The resale will
take place by 1 September 2007 at the latest. The price per share will
correspond to the final bid price for SWECO class B shares on the OMX Nordic
Stock Exchange in Stockholm on the date of transfer, with the right and
obligation for NNBK Finnmark AS to make payment through set-off of the company's
claims on SWECO. 

The motive for the resale is to use the shares as partial consideration for the
SWECO Group's acquisition of operations from NNBK Finnmark AS. 

SWECO's holding of treasury shares prior to the resale amounts to 1,163,000
class B shares and 1,000,000 class C shares, equal to approximately 2.5 per cent
of all issued shares in the company. The total number of shares in SWECO is
86,414,350, divided among 9,389,075 class A shares, 76,025,275 class B shares
and 1.000,000 class C shares.
