BE Group makes changes in structure and organization


BE Group makes changes in structure and organization in order to create a
clearer link to the groups business solutions. In each business area,
responsibility is decentralized to business units focused towards Distribution
and Production. As a consequence of this and the ongoing restructuring in Czech
republic and Slovakia, the following changes will be made:

• Business area Sweden will from the second quarter include the companies BE
Poland, BE Produktion in Eskilstuna and Lecor Stålteknik, which earlier were
included in Other Units. The name will be changed to Business Area Sweden and
Poland and the Groups President and CEO Anders Martinsson will be responsible.

• Business area Finland will be called business area Finland and Baltics. Lasse
Levola will remain responsible for the business area, which as before includes
the Groups operations in Finland and the Baltic countries.

• Business Area Other units will disappear. Due to the ongoing restructuring of
the Groups businesses in Czech Republic and Slovakia, the units will be reported
under the segment Parent company and consolidated items instead of under Other
Units.

• The Group management team will decrease when Nikolai Makarov takes up a new
position within Business area Finland and Baltics and when the previous Business
area manager for Sweden, Kalle Björklund, leaves the Group on April 30th. The
new Group management team will consist of Anders Martinsson, Andreas Karlsson,
Lasse Levola and the new sourcing director whom is being recruited to strengthen
the Groups strategic sourcing.

BE Groups President and CEO Anders Martinsson comments the change:
”With a more decentralized and focused organization, we create a structure that
allows us to tailor our customer offering and enhance our corporation with
strategic suppliers.
I would also like to thank Kalle Björklund for the years at BE Group and wish
him all the best outside the Group, and wish Nikolai Makarov success in his new
position within Business area Finland and Baltics.”

The Groups result will be reported according to the new segments from the second
quarter of 2016.
