"The beginning of 2020 was characterized by the Corona pandemic "

The beginning of 2020 was characterized by the Corona pandemic, which is having a significant effect on all businesses, including Catella's. We noted particularly heavy outflows from Equity, Hedge and Fixed Income Funds towards the end of the quarter. For remaining operations, total income amounted to SEK 503 M in the first quarter of 2020, up SEK 49 M on the first quarter 2019. The increase was mainly attributable to Property Investment Management. Operating profit increased by SEK 10 M, and amounted to SEK 72 M. Total assets under management decreased by SEK 12 Bn in year-on-year terms, adjusted for the terminated product Systematic Equity, and amounted to SEK 156 Bn at the end of the period, corresponding to a decrease of SEK 15 Bn on the end of 2019. Catella's total cash and cash equivalents for remaining operations amounted to SEK 920 M at the end of the period, of which the majority in Catella's subsidiaries.

Catella completed the migration of card customers to Advanzia Bank in the first quarter 2020, and received a payment of some SEK 134 M in additional purchase consideration. SEK 104 M of this amount was recognized as revenue in 2019. There is still some uncertainty about the final costs of winding down the Banking operations, depending on whether the company will be divested including the banking license, or whether operations will need to be terminated.

Corporate Finance

In the Corporate Finance business area, transaction volumes have decreased sharply since the outbreak of Covid-19 in Europe, following normal activity in the first few months of the year. Although the business area has completed a few transactions recently, we foresee low transaction volumes over the coming months.

Total income in Corporate Finance amounted to SEK 109 M, up SEK 5 M year-on-year. The increase was mainly driven by the Nordics, of which Sweden provided the majority of the increase. Operating profit was SEK -13 M, in line with the previous year.

Property Investment Management

To date, Property Investment Management has not had any inquiries from investors about making major withdrawals from property funds, and the business area has not been

significantly affected as most investment structures are locked in over a longer period. The collaboration between Property Funds and Property Asset Management is progressing well, where Catella's property funds invest through the company's Asset Management platform on the various national markets.

Business area assets under management increased by SEK 19 Bn in year-on-year terms, and totalled SEK 108 Bn at the end of the period. In the first quarter, assets under management increased by SEK 8 Bn, mainly driven by Property Funds. Total income increased by SEK 88 M, and operating profit increased by SEK 45 M year-on-year, mainly driven by Property Funds and Property Asset Management in the UK, which exited a mandate that generated significant variable income. Total income and operating profit amounted to SEK 229 M and SEK 44 M respectively in the first quarter.

Catella's property development projects continued largely unaffected, with the exception of the closing of the sale of Grand Central in Düsseldorf, which had been scheduled for the 31 March but has now been postponed to 30 June. The buyer has paid a cash deposit of some SEK 80 M to Catella to secure completion of the transaction in the second quarter of 2020, corresponding to Catella's investment share in the project.

Equity, Hedge and Fixed Income Funds

The business area has experienced outflows from key products for some time, and the trend continued in the first quarter. Adjusted for the product Systematic Equity, assets under management decreased by SEK 31 Bn in yearon-year terms, and amounted to SEK 48 Bn at the end of the period. The decrease was SEK 23 Bn in the first quarter, of which the majority was derived from Systematic Funds. This product invests in highly liquid financial instruments, which makes it easier for investors to withdraw capital to manage short-term liquidity in times of crisis. Both service areas were affected by outflows in the quarter,

while assets under management decreased in value and suffered negative exchange rate effects. Total income decreased by SEK 49 M year-on-year and amounted to SEK 160 M in the first quarter. Operating profit decreased by SEK 30 M and totalled SEK 57 M in the quarter. The decrease in total income and operating profit was mainly due to Systematic Funds. The annualized profit from fixed earnings/fixed expenses amounted to SEK 81 M at the end of March.

Uncertain future due to Covid-19

The Covid-19 pandemic affects Catella negatively, and there is a risk that the outbreak will have a significant financial impact on the Group. The full year 2020 is likely to be

characterized by considerable uncertainty, which affects transaction volumes and capital investment appetite. This affects all of Catella's operations, and we have already implemented some cost savings measures and analysed which support packages are relevant to various parts of the organisation.

On a positive note, Catella is resilient and has the liquidity needed to weather the crisis, while the organisation is poised to quickly shift gear should the crisis deepen.

*Catella has four business areas (operating segments under IFRS 8), of which Banking is reported as a disposal group held for sale (see Note 8), which are aggregated into two reportable segments that Catella terms Operating Segments. IFRS 8 permits that two or more operating segments may be aggregated to one, providing that they have similar accounting characteristics, and are also similar in terms of the character of products and services, the nature of production process, customer categories, distribution, and the extent to which operations, where applicable, are affected by various regulatory structures and risks. On this basis, Catella has defined Corporate Finance (consisting of the Corporate Finance operating segment) and Asset Management (consisting of the combined Property Investment Management, Equity, Hedge and Fixed Income Funds, and Banking operating segments), as the Group's reportable segments.

Comments on the Group's progress

Amounts are in SEK M unless otherwise indicated. Figures in tables and comments may be rounded.

Disposal group held for sale

The Banking business area is being wound down and has been reported as a disposal group held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 from 30 September 2018. This means that in the Consolidated Income Statement, Banking's net profit (after tax) is reported on a separate line under period profit from disposal group held for sale. See Note 7 for more information on the disposal group held for sale.

Comparative figures for previous years for the Banking business area have been reported in a corresponding manner in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Net sales and results of operation First quarter 2020

The Group's total income for remaining operations was SEK 503 M (454) and net sales for remaining operations totalled SEK 449 M (447), of which SEK 107 M (102) related to Corporate Finance and SEK 345 M (347) to Asset Management. Total income increased mainly because Property Asset Management in the UK exited a mandate generating performance-based revenue.

The Group's operating profit for remaining operations was SEK 72 M (62). The profit improvement was due to significant variable income from the divested mandate, at the same time as fixed and variable personnel costs increased. Comments on the progress of each business area can be found on pages 9-11.

The Group's net financial income/expense was SEK -26 M (-17) and includes unrealized value changes in Group security holdings and investments totalling SEK -20 M (-6), mainly attributable to IPM Systematic Macro Fund and the loan portfolio. Realized profit/loss from currency forwards was SEK -5 M (-5), at the same time as positive exchange rate differences amounted to SEK 10 M (2). Interest income for the period was SEK 2 M (6), mainly attributable to the loan portfolio.

In addition, net financial income/expense included interest expenses of SEK 12 M (12), of which SEK 8 M (7) were attributable to Catella's bond issue and SEK 3 M (4) related to interest expenses on the company's lease commitments (IFRS 16).

The Group's operating profit before tax for remaining operations was SEK 46 M (45).

Profit for the period (after tax) from disposal group held for sale was SEK -14 M (110) and related to the Banking business area. The figure includes the final element of the additional purchase consideration from Advanzia Bank of SEK 30 M. In the previous year, the figure included income from the transfer of the Bank's Wealth Management operations, and fixed purchase consideration from the transfer of the card issuing operations to Advanzia Bank.

Profit for the period for the Group's total operations was SEK 10 M (133), of which SEK 0 M (111) was attributable to parent company shareholders. This corresponds to Earnings per share of SEK 0 (1.32).

Significant events in the quarter Changes to Catella AB's (publ) Group management

In November, Knut Pedersen announced his resignation as CEO of Catella. He will

be leaving his position in conjunction with the Annual General Meeting 2020. In December, Marcus Holmstrand announced his resignation as CFO of Catella following a notice period of six months. The Board of Catella AB (publ) has decided to appoint Chairman Johan Claesson as acting CEO, Eva Bång as acting CFO and Jan Roxendal as acting Chairman, effective as soon as the necessary approvals have been obtained from the supervisory authority CSSF in Luxembourg.

Significant events after the end of the quarter

Impact of Covid-19

The outbreak of Covid-19 affects Catella negatively, and there is a risk of a significant financial impact on the Group. Given the uncertain situation, it is currently not possible to estimate the full potential impact on the Group over the coming quarters. We proceed from the assumption that the second and third quarters of 2020 will be characterized by significant uncertainty, affecting investor appetite for completing transactions and capital investments.

Catella revokes proposed dividend

Against the background of the coronavirus pandemic, the Board of Catella AB (publ) has decided to revoke the proposed dividend of SEK 0.90 per share, and proposes to the Annual General Meeting that no dividend be paid. Although Catella has a solid financial position, it is difficult to assess how developments will progress, and the Board aims to ensure that satisfactory liquidity is available should the crisis worsen. Catella's ambition is to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting in the second half of 2020 to address the matter of dividends.

Other financial information

The Group's financial position

In the first quarter, the Group's total assets decreased marginally and amounted to SEK 4,049 as per 31 March 2020. Accounts receivable and other receivables, and Accounts payable and other liabilities decreased sharply at the same time as Properties held for development and project properties and Borrowing from credit institutions increased in the quarter. The two latter items are attributable to property development company Kaktus 1 TopCo ApS that was consolidated as a subsidiary from 30 September 2019.

According to IAS 12, "Income Taxes", deferred tax assets relating to tax loss carry- forwards are recognised to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits will be available. In accordance with this standard, Catella recognized a deferred tax asset of SEK 78 M (SEK 78 M as of 31 December 2019), of which the majority consists of tax loss carry-forwards, which is based on an assessment of the Group's future earnings. The Group had total loss carry-forwards amounting to SEK some 1,122 M.

Group equity was also affected by a new issue under registration of SEK 15 M due to the utilization of warrants to subscribe for new Class B shares in Catella AB. Warrants totalling just over SEK 1 M were also repurchased from warrant holders. In addition, Equity in the first quarter was affected by transactions with holding of non-controlling interests of SEK

-2 M, of which SEK -3 M related to dividend and the remaining amount share of profit for the period. As of 31 March 2020, the Group's equity/assets ratio was 45% (43% as of 31 December 2019).

The Parent Company recognised income of SEK 4.7 M (4.6) and operating profit/loss for the year of SEK -16.4 M (- 10.1). The deteriorated operating profit was due to increased legal and consultancy expenses relating to ongoing projects, increased fixed personnel costs and recruitment costs.

The Parent Company's net financial income/expense totalled SEK -26.5 M (- 14.3), of which SEK -26.3 M relates to unrealized negative value change on derivatives, and SEK 9.5 M relates to realized positive profit on derivatives. In May 2018, the Parent Company started currency hedging using derivatives. The purpose of the hedging of EUR 60 M was to reduce the exchange rate risk in Catella's exposure in EUR. Net financial income/expense also include interest and arrangement costs for bond loans totalling SEK 8.7 M (7.7).

Profit/loss before tax and profit/loss for the period was SEK -43.0 M (-24.4).

Cash and cash equivalents in Catella's transaction account in the Group's cash pool with a Swedish credit institute are reported as Current receivables with Group companies. On the reporting date, this item totalled SEK 83.5 M.

At the end of the period, there were 14 (13) employees in the Parent Company, expressed as full-time equivalents.

Employees

The number of employees in remaining operations, expressed as full-time equivalents, was 592 (556), of which 213 (219) were employed in the Corporate Finance operating segment, 356 (316) in the Asset Management operating segment and 23 (21) in other functions.

The number of employees in the divestment group held for sale (Banking) was 60 (128) at period end.

At the end of the period, there were 652 (679) employees, expressed as fulltime equivalents.

Share capital

As of 31 March 2020, Catella's registered share capital was SEK 173 M (168), divided between 86,281,905 shares (84 115 238). The quotient value per share is 2. Share capital is divided between two share classes with different voting rights. 2,530,555 Class A shares with 5 votes per share, and 83 751 350 Class B shares with 1 vote per share.

In March 2020, warrant holders exercised 2,066,667 warrants to subscribe for an equal number of new shares at a price of SEK 7.20 per share. The new Class B shares are being registered by the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket). In March, Catella also repurchased 100,000 warrants from a key person and 266,667 warrants held in treasury expired without being utilized.

Catella is listed on Mid Cap on Nasdaq Stockholm, trading under the ticker symbols CAT A and CAT B. The price of Catella's Class B share was SEK 17.02 (26.10) as per 31 March 2020. Total market capitalization at the end of the period was SEK 1,468 M (2,203).

Shareholders

Catella had 8,463 (7,241) shareholders registered at the end of the period. The principal shareholder on 31 March 2020 was the Claesson & Anderzén Group with 48.6% (49.2) of the capital and 48.0%

(48.5) of the votes, followed by Strawberry Capital with 5.4% (5.6) of the capital and 5.4% (5.9) of the votes.

Dividend

Catella's target is to transfer the Group's profit after tax to shareholders to the extent it is not considered necessary for developing the Group's operating activities and considering the company's strategy and financial position. Adjusted for profitrelated unrealized value increases, at least 50% of the Group's profit after tax will be transferred to shareholders over time.

Against the background of the coronavirus pandemic, the Board of Catella AB (publ) decided to revoke the proposed dividend of SEK 0.90 per share and proposes to the Annual General Meeting that no dividend be paid. Although Catella has a solid financial position, market conditions have changed in the period since the Board presented its original dividend proposal. Because the consequences of the pandemic are currently difficult to assess, the Board has decided to revoke the dividend proposal with the ambition of convening an Extraordinary General Meeting in the second half of 2020 to address the matter of dividends.

Risks and uncertainties

Catella is affected by progress on the financial markets. The Corporate Finance operation is affected by the market's willingness to execute transactions, which in turn, is determined by the macroeconomic environment and the availability of debt finance.

Asset Management is affected by market progress on Nordic stock exchanges and progress on the property market.

The outbreak of Covid-19 affects Catella negatively, and there is a risk of a significant financial impact on the Group. Given the uncertain situation, it is currently not possible to estimate the full potential impact on the Group over the coming quarters. Group management assumes that the second and third quarters of 2020 will be characterized by significant uncertainty, which will affect investor appetite for completing transactions and investing capital.

A number of companies in the Catella Group conduct operations that are under the supervision of regulatory financial authorities in their respective domestic markets. Existing regulatory frameworks and rapid regulatory changes are complex in general, and specifically with regard to banking operations. These regulatory framework place stringent, and in future even more stringent, demands on the routines and procedures, and liquidity and capital reserves, of the operations under supervision. Compliance with these regulatory frameworks is a pre-condition for conducting operations subject to supervision. Catella continuously seeks to ensure compliance with existing regulatory frameworks and to prepare for future compliance with coming regulatory changes. At a pace with the wind down of the banking operations in 2019 and 2020, the regulatory risk has decreased.

The preparation of financial statements requires the Board of Directors and Group management to make estimates and judgements of the value of loan portfolios, goodwill, trademarks and brands, as well as assumptions concerning revenue recognition. Estimates and judgements affect the Group's Income Statement and financial position, as well as disclosures regarding contingent liabilities, for example. See Note 4 in the Annual Report 2019 for significant estimates and judgements. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates and judgements, due to other circumstances or conditions.

Catella has investments in property development projects in Germany, Denmark and France through associated companies. The projects are run by Catella's German, Danish and French subsidiaries. Catella intends to, through the associated companies, invest in the early phases of projects where the concept and framework is determined subsequently divesting projects and realizing capital gains before construction begins and projects are completed. The investments include the risk that associated companies are forced to choose between continuing to invest in late stages of projects, run the projects to completion or leaving the project and losing the invested capital.

For the Danish project Kaktus, Catella has decided to initiate the construction phase and complete the project in order to realize the maximum potential for Catella's shareholders. Catella's ambition is

still to divest the project as soon as this is commercially advantageous. The decision implies an increased investment commitment from Catella and has implied a reclassification of the holding in the property development company Kaktus 1 TopCo ApS from a holding in an associated company to shares in a subsidiary with full consolidation of Kaktus's Income Statement and Balance Sheet. The aforementioned risks apply to all property development projects that Catella invests in (see Note 3).

Seasonal variations

Within the Corporate Finance operating segment, seasonal variations are significant. This means that sales and results of operations vary during the year. In Corporate Finance, transaction volumes are usually highest in the fourth quarter, followed by the second quarter, the third quarter and finally the first quarter.

Note 3. Catella's principal investments

From an international perspective, it is important that, in specific circumstances, Catella is able to carry out investments alongside its customers in order to attract capital for the projects and products Catella is working with. Over the coming years, Catella intends to set aside capital for these investments, which are primarily in the property sphere.

Catella perceives significant potential in various projects and dedicated property products where Catella's active participation will contribute to growth and credibility in addition to generating positive

returns. The goal is for investments to generate minimum returns (IRR) of 20% over time.

Catella has investments in property development projects in Germany and Denmark (for description of the projects, see below). The investments are made through subsidiaries and associated companies. The projects are run by Catella's German and Danish subsidiaries. Catella intends to invest in the early phases of projects where the concept and framework is determined with the aim to subsequently divest projects and realizing capital gains before construction begins and projects are completed.

In order to structure its principal investments and support new property products, Catella has established an investment committee whose task is to evaluate the respective investments or divestments of assets.

More information is presented below about Catella's principal investments under the 'Other' category, classified in the same way as the Group's financial position; Holdings in associated companies, Other noncurrent securities, Properties held for development and project properties and Current investments.

* The investments include the risk that Catella is forced to choose between continuing to invest in late stages of projects, run the projects to completion or leaving the project and losing the invested capital.

Comments on Catella's principal investments in the first quarter 2020

Catella's principal investments are reported under the 'Other' category in the Consolidated Income Statement and Statement of Financial Position, see Notes 1 and 2. As per 31 March 2020, the principal investments totalled SEK 701 M, an increase of SEK 98 M on the previous quarter. The increase is mainly attributable to additional investments in the property development project Kaktus, but also to positive translation differences.

Property development projects

Grand Central

Residential property development project with a total expected transaction volume, finalized project, of EUR 500 M located adjacent to central Station in Düsseldorf. The project consists of 1,000 apartments on a land area totalling 40,000 m2. The project started in 2015 and Catella has held planning approval to construct buildings on the land from the outset.

As of October 2019, Catella has entered an agreement relating to divestment of the project. The transaction is expected to have a positive effect on profit after tax of some SEK 155 M in the second quarter of 2020.

Seestadt MG+

Residential property development project with a total expected transaction volume, finalized project, of some EUR 700 M located adjacent to the central station in Mönchengladbach. The project consists of 1,500-2,000 apartments on a land area totalling 140,000 m2. The project started in 2017 and Catella acquired the first land parcel in 2019. Catella is working on producing blueprints for the site and finalising an urbanisation agreement.

Düssel-Terrassen

Residential property development project with a total expected transaction volume, finalized project, of EUR 250 M located adjacent to central Station in Düsseldorf. The project consists of 800 apartments on a land area totalling 75,000 m2. The project started in 2018 and Catella acquired the first land parcel in 2018. Catella is working on producing blueprints for the

site and finalising an urbanisation agreement.

Kaktus

Residential property development project with a total expected transaction volume, finalized project, of EUR 130 M located in central Copenhagen, The project consists of 25,000 m2 including 495 apartments. The blueprint was approved in 2017 and planning approval obtained in 2019.

As previously communicated, for the Kaktus project, Catella has decided to initiate the construction phase and complete the project in order to realize the maximum potential for Catella's shareholders. Catella's ambition is still to divest the project as soon as this is commercially advantageous. The decision implies an increased investment commitment from Catella and has implied a re-classification of the holding in the property development company Kaktus 1 TopCo ApS from a holding in an associated company to shares in a subsidiary with full consolidation of Kaktus's Income Statement and Balance Sheet. The change means that a new Balance sheet item, Properties held for development and

project properties, has been included in the Group's financial position from 30 September 2019 onwards.

Loan portfolios

The loan portfolios comprise securitised European loans with primary exposure in housing. The performance of the loan

portfolios is closely monitored and revaluations are made on a continuous basis. Forecasts are conducted by the French investment advisor Cartesia S.A.S. The book value in Catella's Consolidated Accounts is determined based on the projected discounted cash flows mainly comprising interest payments but also amortisation.

A summary of Catella's loan portfolio as well as actual and forecast cash flows are presented in the relevant Note below.

Other holdings

Other holdings mainly consist of listed and unlisted shares in Swedish limited companies.

Method and assumptions for cash flow projections and discount rates.

The cash flow for each loan portfolio is presented in the table on the next page and the discount rates by portfolio are stated above. More information about the loan portfolio can be found on the following page and in Catella's annual report 2019.

Cash flow projections

The portfolio is measured according to the fair-value method, according to the definition in IFRS. In the absence of a functioning and sufficiently liquid market for essentially all investments, as well as for comparable subordinated investments, the measurement is performed by using the 'mark-tomodel' approach. This approach is based on forecasting cash flow until maturity for each investment on the basis of marketbased credit assumptions. Projected cash flows have been produced by external investment advisor Cartesia. The credit assumptions produced by Cartesia are based on historical performance of the individual investments and a broad selection of comparable transactions. In the projected cash flows, an assumption is made of the potential weakening of the credit variables. These do not include the full effect of a scenario, with low probability and high potential negative impact, such as the dissolution of the Eurozone, where one of the

countries in which EETI has its underlying investments, leaves the European monetary union or similar scenarios. Adjustments of cash flows impact the value and are presented in a sensitivity analysis on Catella's website.

Discount rates

The discount rates applied are set internally and are based on a rolling 24-month index of non-investment grade European corporate bonds as underlying assets (iTraxx). The discount rates per portfolio were also determined relative to other assets in the absence of market prices for the assets held by EETI. Each quarter, the Board of EETI evaluates forecast cash flows and assumptions in combination with market pricing of other assets, in order to make potential adjustments to discount rates in addition to index variations. Adjustments to discount rates affect this value and are stated in a sensitivity analysis on Catella's website.

Risks and uncertainties relating to loan portfolios

Most of the investments consist of holdings in and/or financial exposure to securities that are subordinate in terms of payment and are ranked lower than securities that are secured or represent ownership of the same asset class. Some investments also include structural features by which more

highly ranked securities that are secured or represented by owner ship of the same asset class are prioritized in instances of default or if the loss exceeds predetermined levels. This could lead to interruptions in Catella's expected revenue flow from its investment portfolio. For more information, see Note 23 in the Annual Report for 2019.

Clean-up call

A clean-up call affects all sub-portfolios and constitutes an option held by the issuer that enables the repurchase of the sub-portfolio when the outstanding loans have been repaid and are less than 10% of the issued amount. The administration of the portfolio is frequently unprofitable when it falls below 10% of the issued amount, and this structure allows the issuer to avoid these additional costs. The design also means that the investor avoids ending up with small, long-term cash flows until the portfolio has been repaid.

Time call

The time call affects sub-portfolio 5 and constitutes an option held by the issuer that enables the repurchase of the subportfolio at a specific point in time, and from time to time subsequently.

* The forecast was produced by investment advisor Cartesia S.A.S.

** Shield was divested in Q4 2011, Memphis in Q2 2012 and Semper in Q2 2013. Gems was re-purchased in Q1 2016 by the issuer. Ludgate and Minotaure were divested Q1 2018.

Pastor 2

According to the earlier forecast, the issuer would exercise its clean-up call in the third quarter 2019, which has not occured. As of the third quarter 2019, the value of the underlying loan falls below 10%, which means that Catella judges that a repurchase will take place in the third quarter 2020.

Lusitano 5

The forecast cash flows for the sub- portfolio Lusitano 5, assume that the issuer will not utilise its time call. However, the discount rate has been increased to reflect the probability that the issuer will exercise its option to repurchase Lusitano 5 at the nominal value of some EUR 3.3 M. This

probability is expected to increase in the second quarter 2021, and in the event that the issuer exercises the option, this would imply impairment of the value of some EUR 2 M.

Catella continuously monitors the issuing bank in order to evaluate the probability of the option being exercised.

Note 5. The Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value

In accordance with IFRS 7, financial instruments are recognized on the basis of fair value hierarchically with three different levels. Classification is based on the input data used for measuring instruments. Quoted prices on an active market on the reporting date are applied for level 1. Observable market data for the asset or liability other than quoted prices are used in level 2. Fair value is determined with the aid of valuation techniques. For level 3, fair value is determined on the basis of valuation techniques based on non-observable market data. Specific valuation techniques used for level 3 are the measurement of

discounted cash flows to determine the fair value of financial instruments. For more information, see Note 3 in the Annual Report 2019.

The Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of 31 March 2020 are stated in the following table.

Total income was SEK 6 M (33), and profit/loss for the period was SEK -14 M (110).

Profit/loss for the period includes the final element of the additional purchase consideration from Advanzia Bank of SEK 30 M, and commission expenses of SEK 4 M. In the previous year, profit included income from the transfer of the Bank's Wealth Management operations and the fixed purchase consideration from the transfer of the card issuing operations to Advanzia Bank, totalling SEK 219 M.

Catella is now investigating the possibilities of divesting the company that holds

the banking license, or alternatively requesting that the financial supervisory authority CSSF revokes the license. The option of revoking the license would mean that the bank enters into liquidation once CSSF has revoked the license. The final cost of winding down the banking operations is difficult to assess and is likely to be higher than anticipated. The timing of dissolving the consolidated financial situation will be determined by the aforementioned alternatives.
