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 January, at the request of shareholders, 300 Class A shares were converted to
Class B shares. The total number of votes in the company thereafter amounts to
1,703,569,257.

The total number of registered shares in the company amounts to 705,110,094, of which
110,939,907 are Class A shares and 594,170,187 are Class B shares.
