New share issue and buy-back of class C shares for incentive scheme


New share issue and buy-back of class C shares for incentive scheme 

Semcon AB (publ) announced today that the Board has decided on a new share issue
and to immediately afterwards buy-back 330,000 class C shares. The aim of the
new share issue, the buy-back and the reason for the deviation from
shareholders' preferential rights, is to ensure the provision of ordinary shares
for employees in the Group in accordance with the incentive scheme adopted by
the EGM on 7 February 2008, by Semcon converting these class C shares to
ordinary shares at a later date.

With the support of the authorization from the AGM on 24 April 2008, Semcon's
Board has decided to increase the share capital by SEK 330,000 through a direct
cash issue of 330,000 class C shares to Nordea Bank AB (publ) (”Nordea”), each
with a quota value of SEK 1, and an issue price of SEK 1 per share. Class C
shares do not include the right to profit sharing and entitle the holder to one
tenth of voting right per share, redeemable at the share's quota value with the
addition of interest and convertible into ordinary shares. Furthermore, Semcon's
Board has decided to immediately buy-back all class C shares from Nordea at the
same price as the issue price SEK 1 per share, in total SEK 330,000.
