Peter Hallgren, President and CEO:

•  Catena's earnings improved significantly during the period. Rental revenue
increased by 8.1 per cent and income from property management rose by 36 per
cent compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year. The increases
are attributable to favorable new letting, a savings program that is beginning
to yield results and significantly lower financing expenses. The occupancy rate
remained high at 97.2 per cent.

•  Catena's operations have been marginally affected by the recession. In 2009,
rental losses due to a bankruptcy and a company reorganization comprised about
0.5 per cent of rental revenue. Catena's property values were relatively
marginally affected in 2009, while the decline in value was slightly more than
10 per cent in 2008.

•  Catena continues its strategy of investing in and improving its property
portfolio. The property in Haninge has been upgraded to a modern automotive
facility with several auto brands. The renovation was completed in September.
