In 2011 Kinnevik celebrated its 75th anniversary. It was in 1936 that three friends - Robert von Horn, Wilhelm Klingspor and Hugo Stenbeck - formed a company with the aim of investing in and managing shares. They called the company Aktiebolaget Kinnevik. 75 years later I am proud to be the CEO of Kinnevik where the fundamental strategy of active ownership to create value remains intact, and where we have managed to evolve with time, building a group of companies in modern industries and claim new frontiers in emerging markets. The founding families remain owners today, and our history provides us with a strong sense of responsibility to make sure that Kinnevik will stand the test of time also going forward.

Growth in Kinnevik is supported by rapidly changing consumer and business behavior, both in the developed world and in emerging markets. As consumers go online, this drives sales, not only in the rapidly growing online part of our portfolio, but also in the telecom and media companies. With our strong positions within mobile and media in Scandinavia as well as in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Russia and Africa, I am convinced that we are in the right segments on the right markets at the right time. In 2011, when the macroeconomic climate was characterized by the eurocrisis in Europe and weak growth in the US, Kinnevik's sales growth on a see-through basis was 8% and earnings increased by 7% demonstrating the strength of our market positions.

Millicom and Tele2 are key beneficiaries of the data explosion as consumers increasingly use their mobile phones to access online services. Tele2's mobile customers are rapidly shifting to smartphones, increasing their data consumption and using mobile services. In Sweden, an increasing number of customers access the 4G net which was launched at the end of 2010.

Mobile companies all over the world recognize the need to develop value-added services, and our emerging market operator Millicom is in the forefront of pushing this development. The company has a dedicated team in each market focusing on innovation. New services are developed in a structured process from identifying a need in the market to developing and marketing a solution and a new service. Examples of new services include Tigo Mimi, which is a

"cloud phone" for the least affluent customers. It enables the consumer to have a fixed telephone number accessible from anyone's Tigo phone. Another newly developed service is Tigo search in DRC, which is a phone service providing information on demand in areas where access to information is scarce.

Kinnevik invested around SEK 3 billion in 2011, mainly in online and this segment now stands for around 12% of the total net asset value. We are creating value through our new

investments, and I think it is important that we have the perseverance to continue to invest in order to secure the long term growth in Kinnevik. In 2012, we have guided for continued investments in new ventures of around SEK 5 billion.

Online services are growing strongly and we are searching for various types of investments that will benefit from households spending a growing proportion of their time and budget online. The main focus is consumer oriented services, with relatively proven business concepts. Expansion in consumer related Internet services is capital intensive and competition in the market is tough, but at the same time, the growth potential is significant. As an example, CDON showed an organic growth of 37% in 2011, a year when retail sales in Sweden only increased by 0.7%.

Our online investments include large companies such as Zalando, a leading European shoe and fashion site with operations in seven European markets including Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy, the UK, Switzerland and Austria. In Russia, Kinnevik is the largest owner of Avito, a site for classifieds. Kinnevik is one of the founders of the company, and it has been exciting to see how it has developed successfully to become the largest Russian site in its kind. In November 2011, Groupon was listed on NASDAQ. Kinnevik received Groupon shares when "MyCityDeal", a company founded by Rocket Internet, was acquired by Groupon. At the end of 2011, the value of Kinnevik's directly owned shares in Groupon was 1.2 billion SEK, a fantastic development from our initial investment of around SEK 20 m.

With consumers changing their way of consuming media, our media assets have to evolve with their customers. In order to adapt to the new landscape, MTG launched Viaplay in the spring. Viaplay is a multi-screen on-demand pay-TV service which enables a Viasat subscriber to use a single ID and password to access Viasat pay-TV content on any internet connected device. I use Viaplay myself and it really changes the way of watching television and gives me much more flexibility to watch what I want when I want to. MTG also continued to expand into new markets, and launched new channels in Africa as well as in Eastern Europe.

Printed media also needs to manage the transformation to online. Metro, our free-sheet newspaper has been through a restructuring process in the past years, and the company has divested and left unprofitable markets and expanded into emerging markets in Latin America and Russia. As the company's largest owner, we have supported this transition. In the beginning of 2012, Kinnevik made a public offer for the outstanding shares, warrants and debentures in the company. We want to continue the strategic transformation of Metro both in terms of geographies and product enhancement.

Korsnäs, our packaging company, continued to show a stable development in 2011. Sales of its largest product line, liquid packaging board, continued to grow, supported by increasing demand mainly in emerging markets. With sales of SEK 8.3 billion, Korsnäs has one of the highest operating margins among peers in Scandinavia, amounting to 11% in 2011.

Kinnevik took another important step in the area of corporate responsibility in 2011 and formally joined the UN Global Compact. The guiding principles within human rights, labor standards, environment and anti-corruption have directed Kinnevik in its corporate responsibility efforts since these were initiated and I am proud that we are now a formal signatory and contributor to UN Global Compact. All of the Kinnevik companies are working hard to continue to develop their businesses in a sustainable way, and they are making good progress. For example, Tele2 continued the roll-out and follow up of a supplier code of conduct continued, including field visits to some of the largest suppliers. Our packaging company, Korsnäs is working actively to reduce its climate impact. In 2011, CO2 emissions fell by around 40% supported by the investments made in the past years to improve energy efficiency.

The Kinnevik board has proposed a dividend of SEK 5.50 per share to be paid out after the Annual General meeting of shareholders in May. The increase reflects Kinnevik's strong balance sheet as well as the good cash flow that Kinnevik is receiving mainly from Millicom, Tele2 and MTG. So, closing the books on 2011 and looking forward to 2012, I would like to thank the employees for their excellent efforts and also take the opportunity to thank all our shareholders for their confidence in Kinnevik.

Dividend policy

Kinnevik's dividend policy is to pay out more than 85% of ordinary dividends received from the listed holdings during the same year. Kinnevik's ambition is to continue to generate a progressive annual dividend for its shareholders.

The authority to repurchase Kinnevik's own shares will be utilised when such a program is deemed to be more attractive than other potential investments.

Proportional part of revenue and result

The table below is a compilation of Kinnevik's proportional part of the holdings' revenues and operating results reported for 2011. The portfolio companies' divested operations, assets held for sale and one-off items have been excluded.

Revenues and operating result reported by the companies have been multiplied by Kinnevik's ownership share, thereby showing Kinnevik's proportional share of the companies' revenues and operating result. Constant exchange rates (average for 2011) have been used when translating revenue and EBIT from each company's reporting currency into Swedish kronor.

The proportional share of revenues and operating result has no connection with Kinnevik's accounting and is only additional information.

Historical background

Investment AB Kinnevik was formed in late 1936 in the city of Lidköping, just south of Sweden's largest lake, Vänern – Kinnevik was named after a cove in Lake Vänern. The first Articles of Association stipulated that Kinnevik is to invest in shares in companies in various sectors, although the company also has wholly owned businesses, including several agricultural operations.

The first major investment made by Kinnevik was in shares of the Korsnäs forestry and sawmill group. Most of these shares derive from Korsnäs, which held a block of treasury shares for a few years.

The advice to purchase a stake in Korsnäs came from Robert von Horn, who was one of the three founders of Kinnevik, along with Wilhelm Klingspor and Hugo Stenbeck. The latter was an attorney, in the capacity of which he conducted assignments on behalf of the Klingspor family, including the sale of the holding in Mellansvenska Sockerbruksaktiebolaget. This was the transaction that formed the foundation for the approximately SEK 6 m in assets – or nearly SEK 180 m in today's monetary value – with which Kinnevik began.

The three families, which are now represented by the third generation after the founders, remain the principal owners of Kinnevik, 75 years after its inception.

During the first decades, Kinnevik mainly acquired equities in steel, forestry and mining companies. Kinnevik invested in a relatively limited number of companies in which it gradually increased its shareholdings year after year. The dividends from Korsnäs were the primary source of funding for acquisitions, although Kinnevik also occasionally paid with treasury shares. Kinnevik was listed in 1954, at which time Korsnäs accounted for about half of Kinnevik's assets.

A few years later, Kinnevik and Korsnäs purchased a majority stake in the Sandvik engineering group in conjunction with Sandvik's new share issue. The main attraction was the production of cemented carbide in Sandvik's Coromant subsidiary. After increasing its influence during another new share issue in the early 1960s, Kinnevik and Korsnäs owned a quarter of the shares in Sandvik.

In 1976, the company's founder Hugo Stenbeck stepped

down from Kinnevik altogether, after four decades at the company and a number of years as Chairman. He passed away a few months later. His son Hugo Stenbeck Jr., who had been President of Kinnevik since the early 1960s, also passed away. Instead, Jan Hugo Stenbeck, the younger brother of Hugo Jr., became the principal representative for the Stenbeck family.

Jan Stenbeck, who had been a member of Kinnevik's Board since the early 1970s, began expanding the company's investments to more sectors, although the major changes began around 1980, at which time Kinnevik began to gradually sell its former holdings, except Korsnäs and Sandvik, to instead invest in sectors that were entirely new to the company.

One of the sectors was not only new to Kinnevik, but also to the world. It involved mobile telephony, which was still in its infancy. The other new sector was media, where commercial TV, which was not available in Sweden at the time, became the first major business.

The new investments required capital for a number of years before they could amass a customer base to generate revenue. Kinnevik was also busy managing its existing operations, which was increasingly intense in an evolving business environment. An example of this was the merger of the Fagersta steel and power group, in which Kinnevik and Korsnäs were major owners at the time, and Kinnevik in 1983. This transaction generated better means with which to resolve the protracted structural negotiations concerning the Swedish steel industry. After several strong decades, the steel industry was subject to more competition from other countries and a declining market. Fagersta owned power assets that could be sold to generate capital for investments in new sectors. A few months in autumn 1983, prior to the finalization of the transaction between Fagersta and Kinnevik, were perhaps the most dramatic in Kinnevik's history.

During these months, the Swedish construction and property group Skanska also purchased major share blocks in Sandvik, which resulted in Kinnevik and Korsnäs divesting their shares in the steel manufacturer after having been its principal owners for a quarter century. The funds from this

sale were also primarily invested in mobile telephony and media.

The first Kinnevik-owned mobile-telephony network was launched in 1981, although analog technology prevailed at the time. Comvik, as the company was called, became the first competitor to the state-owned company Telia. In the mid-1980s, Kinnevik began seeking mobile-telephony licenses outside Europe, often in partnership with the US-based company Millicom. In 1990, these operations were coordinated under the name Millicom International Cellular.

In the 1980s, as part of its focus on commercial TV, Kinnevik assumed a highly active role when Astra satellites, which are capable of broadcasting a number of channels, were launched into orbit. At year-end 1987, TV3 began broadcasting to the Scandinavian countries. In Kinnevik, companies were also being developed in a number of various TV businesses, including advertising sales companies, production companies, film-channel companies, as well as advertising-financed radio.

In the early 1990s, Comvik was working on the digital mobile technology being launched at the time, thus significantly facilitating competition with the state-owned company Telia.

In 1992, Kinnevik submitted a bid for the remaining shares in Korsnäs, which thus became wholly owned after being among Kinnevik's holdings since the inception of the investment company.

For more than 12 years, Kinnevik added at least one new business annually. Overall, Kinnevik invested well over SEK 10 billion – an intense undertaking since it takes time before new companies report a profit. To underscore the values that had been amassed and to allow the new operations to develop independently, a number of sub-groups were spun off to Kinnevik's shareholders.

The first was the telecom operator Netcom, which was subsequently renamed Tele2 and spun off in 1996. The year after, it was time to spin off its media operations, which had been consolidated in the Modern Times Group, or MTG. A few years later, MTG in turn allocated the shares of the free daily paper group Metro to its shareholders. In 2001, it was time for Kinnevik to divest its customer-service group Transcom. And ten years after Metro, in 2010, MTG listed its next

subsidiary, the e-commerce company CDON Group.

In August 2002, Jan Hugo Stenbeck passed away. The year after, his daughter, Cristina Stenbeck, was elected onto the Board of most of Kinnevik's companies. A few years later, in 2007, she was appointed Chairman of Kinnevik.

In the past ten years, Kinnevik has conducted a number of major transactions. In 2004, the two parent companies, Invik and Kinnevik, merged. Since Invik was the largest owner of Kinnevik, Kinnevik thus again became a majority owner of the companies in which shares were previously distributed to their shareholders. The financial operations, including fund management and banking, were consolidated in the restructured Invik, which was spun off to Kinnevik's shareholders in 2005. In 2007, Kinnevik sold its shares in Invik in conjunction with a tender to all shareholders.

For Korsnäs, liquid packaging board has become an increasingly important element of the business. A major step was taken in 2006, when the industry associate Frövi was acquired. A few years earlier, Korsnäs/Kinnevik freed up capital by selling substantial portions of Korsnäs' forestry holding.

Korsnäs has undergone major changes during its years under Kinnevik, as has the other operation that has been there from the beginning – agriculture. In this area, the farms and land that were owned in Sweden were sold and Kinnevik has instead made various agricultural investments in Poland and Russia.

In recent years, Kinnevik has invested in a number of start-ups in such sectors as online services and microfinancing. The funding for this no longer derives from the sale of other operations, but from dividends from listed companies. In monetary terms, Kinnevik now finances more "New investments," than was ever invested in the mobile operations when they were wholly owned by Kinnevik and accounted for the former peak of investments in the early 1990s.

The market capitalization of Kinnevik and the listed companies that were formed and built up in the Kinnevik Group amounted to SEK 143 billion at the end of 2011, corresponding to a value increase of 82,000 percent on the SEK 6 m with which the company began, measured in real monetary terms.

Corporate Responsibility

Corporate Responsibility and Communication on Progress for Investment AB Kinnevik

For Kinnevik, Corporate Responsibility ("CR") involves issues that relate to social responsibility, environmental responsibility and ethics. In formulating policies in these areas, Kinnevik has used as its starting point the UN's Global Compact and its ten principles, as well as the OECD's guidelines for multinational enterprises.

During 2011, Kinnevik formally adopted the UN Global Compact ten principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption.

The CEO of Kinnevik, Mia Brunell Livfors, declares that: "Kinnevik signed the UN Global compact charter in May 2011 and we express our intent to advance those principles within our sphere of influence. Kinnevik is committed to making the Global Compact and its principles part of the strategy, culture and day-to-day operations of our company, and to engaging in collaborative projects which advance the broader development goals of the United Nations, particularly the Millennium Development Goals. In this first Communication on Progress report Kinnevik documents the progress within Kinnevik as well as our major holdings. I think that the Kinnevik group are making progress in implementing the Global Compact principles as this report will demonstrate."

Strategy and purpose

The primary purpose of Kinnevik's operations is to increase shareholder value, primarily through net asset value growth. As owner and investor, Kinnevik also bears great responsibility to stakeholders for its holdings (subsidiaries and associated companies). For Kinnevik, showing consideration for stakeholders by working actively with CR-related issues is a prerequisite for high and sustained profitability.

Guidelines and policies

Kinnevik has established clear guidelines for the expectations of the Group's holdings how to drive CR issues regarding social responsibility, environmental impact and ethical behavior.

Furthermore, Kinnevik's senior management, in cooperation with its Board of Directors, has formulated policies in which all matters relating to sustainability and responsibility matters are handled. These matters are expressed in the Code of Ethical Business Conduct (Code of Conduct) and the Whistleblower policy. Every employee and other representatives of the Company are expected to read and comply with these policies.

Implementation and follow-up

For a company like Kinnevik with limited operations, the majority of the CR issues are found within each holdings' operations. A thourough risk assessment including CR related matters is periodically carried out in every company. The risks vary depending on company, industry and country and consist amongst others of geographical risks, environmental impact, political climate, brand risks as well as supplier risks. Since several of Kinnevik's holdings are operating in emerging markets where human rights and risk for corruption could be present, it is very important that Kinnevik has firm guidelines on how to handle these types of risks.

Kinnevik works actively, through Board representation, to assist associate companies and subsidiaries in formulating a separate CR policy. The CR policy shall be observed through analysis and continuous operational improvements, taking into account social responsibility, ethics and the environment. The companies are also encouraged to publicly communicate the impact of their CR efforts. In the larger listed holdings, the Board of each company shall elect one person who is responsible for the company's CR issues and to whom an employee with responsibility for CR shall report.

In 2011, in order to find a common tool in terms of reporting the progress in the CR field, many of Kinnevik's companies have chosen to report according to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the world's most widely used sustainability reporting framework. GRI's core goals include the mainstreaming of disclosure on environmental, social and governance performance. Korsnäs, Tele2, and MTG produce GRI reports that can be found on the respective websites.

bers are employee representatives appointed by the trade unions at the subsidiary Korsnäs.
fective right to collective
bargaining
Korsnäs ambition is to have a close relationship with the trade unions and the company regards union
work as important and valuable. The cooperation with the trade unions is a pre-requisite for the changes
now being implemented in the company. Company employees are represented in the Korsnäs Board of Di
rectors by ordinary board members or by deputy members. The company and the trade unions cooperate
both on a central and local level when it comes to large investments and other important projects. For all
mills there are trade union cooperation groups which are in regular contact with the management of the mill.

Principle 9 Encourage the develop
ment and diffusion of
environmentally friendly
technologies
Bioenergy is of strategic interest for Kinnevik given strong European growth expectations in combination
with Kinnevik's experience from and activities in agriculture and forestry. Renewable energy production is
expected to see substantial growth in coming years, especially in Europe driven by EU commitments to
20% renewable production by 2020.The strategy is focused around two core areas – large scale wood
pellets production, and local energy production based on biogas and biomass. Central and Eastern
Europe is the main geographical focus where operations are conducted in the two companies Latgran and
Vireo Energy.
Anti-corruption Examples – Kinnevik Group companies
Principle 10 Businesses should work
against corruption in all
its forms including extor
tion and bribery
Korsnäs as well as the listed holdings all have policies and reporting lines in place regulating code of ethics
as well as reporting lines in case of violations (whistle blower policies). These also extend to suppliers. To
ensure efficient supply chain follow-ups. Tele2 for example has developed criteria for supplier selection ba
sed on risk, as well as checklists for evaluation of supplier compliance. In December 2011, representatives
of Tele2 visited one of the biggest suppliers, a SIM-card producer in Slovakia.
Millicom introduced specific guidelines on conflict of interests, fair competition, third party due diligence,
and gifts and entertainment as first steps to address high risk areas relating to compliance and corruption.
In Tele2, a programme to implement the Code of Conduct, adopted by the Board of Directors in 2010,
was initiated in all countries. The Code is available on Tele2's website www.tele2.com and has so far been
signed by 92% of the more than seven thousand Tele2 employees. The remaining 8% are expected to
sign during the first six months of 2012. As from 2011, all new employees are asked to sign the Code of
Conduct as part of their employment contract.
The Code of Conduct does not only apply to the company itself, but also to suppliers and others parties
representing Tele2. As a first step of implementing the Code of Conduct in the supply chain, the largest
suppliers, together constituting 80% of the spending, were asked to sign. By 31 December 2011, 752 out
of the 892 suppliers had signed the Code of Conduct. Since 2011, the Code of Conduct is included in the
purchasing agreements when Tele2 renews contracts with existing suppliers or contracts new suppliers
and agents.

We measure the unique children that we, and our Playmakers interact with and support during a year. It is children that have been participated in the programs and operations, that have been empowered or had their life changed in different ways.

Runners' Academy, managed by Playmaker David Lillo has developed a ten-week-program where long-distance running is used as a tool for personal development. The target group is teenagers in the age of 15-16 years, that come from the surburbs of Stockholm. In addition to running the participants take part in workshops and personal coaching. Runners' Academy also organizes popular races in two Stockholm suburbs.

Barnkraft

Åsa Järnhäll Olsson & Johanna Järnhäll, Nyköping, Sweden

The problem

Sexual abuse of children in today's society is still a taboo subject in the public dialogue. Because of this, many victims remain silent and information about the prevalence and nature of sexual abuse is scarce.

The solution

Barnkraft believes that society must recognize and confront the problem of sexual child abuse through education of both children and adults. Barnkraft uses a positive approach and work with strengthening and preventative measures, in schools and with adults – both parents, students and professionals.

The persons

Barnkraft's Åsa and Johanna are two sisters driven by a strong commitment for sexually abused children. They work tirelessly to empower children, educate adults and remove the taboo that surrounds sexual child abuse. Åsa was herself a victim of sexual abuse as a child, and uses her experience to show other adults that it is possible to break the silence and become whole again.

Peter Ndonwie

Pan-African Organisation for Research and Protection of Violence on Women and Children (PAORP-VWC) Ndonwie Peter, Tamale, Ghana.

The problem

Child trafficking and child labour is rampant in Ghana. The worst affected are children and women from the poorer regions in Northern Ghana. Discrimination and abuse against women and children takes place daily. Girls are especially vulnerable, often prevented from going to school and subjected to early marriages.

The Solution

PAORP-VWC promotes the education of all children in all areas where discrimination against women and children takes place. The mission is to research, organize, support, expand and strengthen the activities of human rights organizations as well as women and youth groups. This is done through emancipation and empowerment of women, children and youth within their communities.

The person

Dr. Ndonwie Peter saw the importance of education very early, giving lessons to children in his own neighbourhood. A professional human rights development worker, he also holds a PhD in Business Management. Peter uses innovative methods and creativity to fight for change in rural villages where the rights of vulnerable women and children have been trampled upon. He believes that "as a social entrepreneur you have to know that you are the only person that can ut your dream into action and get what you want in life".

Playmaker Johan Wendt manages Mattecentrum, a non-profit organization that offers free math tutoring and homework assistance for students in grades 7-9 and high school.

Kinnevik´s Strategic Focus

Kinnevik is an investment company with the objective to increase shareholder value, primarily through net asset value growth. In practice, in order to achieve this, Kinnevik focuses on:

1Identifying growth areas

In order to find the right companies and portfolio composition, Kinnevik identifies sectors and markets with a strong growth potential. As a result, the Kinnevik portfolio consists of a number of fast growing companies within Telecom and Services, Media, Online, Paper & Packaging, Microfinancing, Agriculture and Renewable energy. Over 60% of the assets are in emerging markets in Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe. Although there are no formal constraints with regards to which sectors that we invest in, it is important that we feel that we have the industrial and the market competence to develop the company to its full potential. This has resulted in a fairly concentrated portfolio of companies within the above mentioned sectors and markets.

Many of the companies in the Kinnevik portfolio were founded by Kinnevik. Kinnevik has an operational focus, and a successful history of starting companies. We want to invest early in order to influence the company throughout its growth phases and in order to be in control of the company's destiny as well as its historic legacy.

3 Clear ownership role

Kinnevik wants to have a clear ownership role in the companies that we own in order to be able to influence its strategy and operations. This means that we want to be one of the largest owners. In almost all companies that we own, Kinnevik has representatives on the Board of Directors and it is in this forum that we work with management to develop the strategy and operations of the company.

4 Operational focus 5 Value

Kinnevik is an operational investor with a long-term strategic focus. This means that we have the patience and industrial competence to develop our portfolio companies over a long-term and we have no pre-determined exit horizon. Having a long-term view does not, however, mean that we are not impatient in the short-term. Sales focus and tight cost control are key in all of our companies in order to achieve profitable growth.

creation

Focusing on our objective and staying close to our culture and competences has resulted in strong value creation for the Kinnevik shareholders historically. The Kinnevik share's annual average total return has been 20% for the past 30 years.

Kinnevik's holdings

Paper & Packaging

Korsnäs

Korsnäs, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kinnevik, is the second largest producer in the world of liquid packaging board, the second largest when it comes to coated white top liner and one of the largest producers of cartonboard. With its vast experience, solid competence and advanced technology, Korsnäs nurtures its ambition to constantly develop and improve its products and services to bring benefit to its customers. The company has two fully integrated mills in Gävle and Frövi and produces CTMP pulp for internal use in Rockhammar. The total combined annual production capacity is 1,130 thousand tons of paper and cartonboard products, of which 700 thousand tons in Gävle and 430 thousand tons in Frövi. Korsnäs is self-sufficient in pulp for its entire production of paper and cartonboard. The company has four production machines: Paper Machine ("PM") 2, 4 and 5 in Gävle as well as the Board Machine ("BM") 5 in Frövi.

Korsnäs creates the prerequisites to satisfy high demands from its customers using extensive and solid experience, comprehensive expertise and sophisticated technology. Korsnäs has long pursued a targeted strategy of focusing on highly processed products. As a result, paperboard has become the largest product area, with focus on liquid packaging board, coated White Top Liner and cartonboard.

Korsnäs Forestry is responsible for purchases of wood and fiber for Korsnäs Industrial and also conducts external sales, primarily of saw logs. Korsnäs also owns 5% of the shares in Bergvik Skog AB.

Korsnäs' operating profit for the full-year 2011 amounted to SEK 907 m, compared with SEK 926 m in 2010. Operating profit for 2011 includes insurance compensation of SEK 45

m, pertaining to damage to a soda recovery boiler in Frövi, which caused shorter production shutdowns in 2009 and 2010. Operating profit for the current year was adversely impacted by a breakdown of a turbine in Gävle (included below in energy costs). The breakdown is estimated to have caused additional costs of SEK 40 m. Operating profit was also negatively impacted by higher costs for wood and chemicals that were not fully offset by higher sales prices. Despite the negative effects from the breakdown of the turbine, energy costs were lower than the preceding year mainly due to energy investments in Gävle and lower electricity prices. The results for 2010 included strike remuneration of SEK 84 m from the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise as compensation for direct costs resulting from an industrial dispute.

Market

From a stable market position in the first quarter, the market was characterized by uncertainty since the second quarter. Caution among customers who reduced their inventories and delayed placing orders due to uncertainty of the direction of the market continued in the fourth quarter. Compared with 2010, which was characterized by strong demand, demand in 2011 was generally lower.

At the beginning of the year, Korsnäs' inventory levels were low and during the second quarter, the Frövi facility experienced some production problems. This means that deliveries in the first six months of 2011 were impacted by a shortage of materials, while deliveries during the second half of the year were affected by uncertainty in the market.

During the year, sales of paper and cartonboard products amounted to 1,002,000 tons, compared with 1,021,000 tons in 2010. Price increases were implemented from 1 January 2011, in line with agreements with major liquid packaging board customers, and price increases were also implemented in other product areas during the first nine months. Prices remained unchanged during the fourth quarter.

Customers today are increasingly demanding various types of products and delivery solutions and Korsnäs is seeking to meet these demands using high quality and lower overall customer cost. Korsnäs' long-term strategy of focusing on growth markets and offering differentiated, niche products that meet stringent requirements in terms of strength, printability, formability and runnability in converting, proved successful during the year with increasing volumes within prioritized growth areas.

Liquid Packaging Board

Liquid Packaging Board is used to manufacture packaging, primarily for dairy products, fruit juices and other beverages, a market that is continuing to grow, mainly in Asia and South America. Primarily, coated Liquid Packaging Board is showing growth, as a result of end-users' increased demand for print quality on the finished packaging. Despite the uncertain market situation, Korsnäs succeeded in increasing delivery volumes of liquid packaging board by 6% for fullyear 2011, compared with 2010. Price increases occurred in accordance with the multi-year agreements between Korsnäs and a number of customers for the delivery of Liquid Packaging Board. Other major suppliers of Liquid Packaging Board include Stora Enso and Klabin. There is also competition from other packaging materials, primarily plastic bottles.

Cartonboard

Korsnäs cartonboard is used primarily in selected segments for packaging cosmetics, luxury drinks and confectionery. Within cartonboard, deliveries declined compared with 2010 due to lower demand at the end of the year combined with a reduction of customer inventories. Deliveries of cartonboard with white backs, Korsnäs White, increased in line with the company's target. Cartonboard competitors include Stora Enso, M-Real and Holmen.

White Top Kraft Liner (WTL)

WTL is used as the surface layer on corrugated packaging. The market for WTL in Europe declined in 2011. Korsnäs' total sales of WTL declined during the year as a result of lower demand. However, deliveries of coated WTL increased in line with the company's long-term strategy. There are a number of suppliers in the market, with M-Real as the main competitor.

Sack and kraft paper

Sack and kraft paper are used for sacks, carrier bags and food packaging. Demand for sack and kraft paper also weakened during the latter part of the year. The market for white paper, which is the segment on which Korsnäs has been focusing for a couple of years, now has a relatively good balance between supply and demand, resulting in slightly lower decline. Korsnäs' sales of white paper rose in 2011, while total volumes of sack and kraft paper fell somewhat. Billerud and UPM Kymmene are the main competitors in this area.

Production

Production for the full-year 2011 amounted to 1,061,000 tons, compared to 1,019,000 tons in 2010.

Production volumes for 2011 were impacted by a number of minor operational problems at the Gävle plant in the fourth quarter, resulting in production loss totaling approximately 15,000 tons (in addition to the production loss due to the maintenance shutdown lasting for 11 days), as well as production problems at the Frövi facility during the second quarter resulting in a production loss of slightly more than 10,000 tons of paper and carton products. During 2010, Korsnäs' production was impacted by production loss of approximately 59,000 tons due to unscheduled operational shutdowns and an industrial conflict.

As a result of energy investments in Gävle, energy costs have been reduced significantly compared with 2010. The

new evaporation facility that came online in May 2010 has decreased oil consumption well in line with the anticipated savings of 19,000 m3 annually. However, a turbine in Gävle broke down in April 2011, resulting in an operational stoppage of the turbine until the end of July. The stoppage is estimated to have resulted in additional costs of approximately SEK 40 m.

Distribution of operating costs Excluding depreciation, Korsnäs Industrial. Numbers in brackets refer to 2010.

Investments and maintenance stoppages

The project pertaining to a new bioenergy facility in Korsnäs' industrial area is progressing in cooperation with Gävle Energi AB's jointly owned company, Bomhus Energi AB. The aim of the bioenergy facility is to assure delivery of eco-friendly electricity and steam to Korsnäs' plant in Gävle from 2013, as well as district heating to Gävle Energi's customers. All main components have been procured within the project's budget framework and construction is proceeding as planned. For Korsnäs, the investment in 50% of the shares and debenture loans in Bomhus will amount to approximately SEK 320 m, of which SEK 115 m was paid during 2010 and SEK 112 m during the 2011. In addition to the investment in Bomhus Energi, Korsnäs is making further energy investments of about SEK 145 m in the existing plant for the delivery of waste heat to Gävle Energi AB, of which SEK 66 m was paid in 2010 and SEK 29 m in 2011.

During the third quarter, a decision was made to invest SEK 270 m in the rebuilding of PM5 in Gävle. The rebuild will affect several parts of the machine and is an assertive quality investment to improve cartonboard quality. The rebuild will be implemented during the scheduled maintenance stoppage in autumn 2012.

Decisions have also been made to install a new wash press and to modify the oxygen phase in Fiber-line 3 in Gävle. The expansion is estimated to increase wood replacement and decrease requirements of bleaching chemicals. The investment totals SEK 95 m, of which SEK 29 m was paid in 2011.

In July, a judgment was handed down to Korsnäs Gävle from the Land and Environmental Court of the Östersund District Court. According to the judgment, Korsnäs must additionally reduce emissions of TOC (Total Organic Carbon, oxygen-consuming substances) from the plant in Gävle.

Consequently, Korsnäs must invest approximately SEK 200- 300 m in its external purification facility in 2014. Korsnäs has appealed the judgment of the Land and Environmental Court and a review dispensation was granted in November.

Korsnäs Forestry

4 Korsnäs Forestry is responsible for the purchase of wood and fiber for Korsnäs' pulp and paper mills and for the performance of forestry services in line with agreements with Bergvik Skog. Korsnäs Forestry's external customers are primarily sawmills and spruce fiber users in central Sweden and Latvia.

2 1 Pulpwood prices rose from 1 January 2011 by SEK 10-30/ m3fub, depending on the range and catchment area. During the summer, additional price increases of SEK 10-25/m3fub were announced, but which did not have an effect on Korsnäs' purchase prices before a price reduction of up to SEK 15/m3fub from Korsnäs' earlier price level was announced in September. In mid-December, an additional price reduction was implemented of SEK 20/m3fub for coniferous pulpwood and SEK 15-20/m3fub for birch pulpwood. The price changes for pulpwood will impact Korsnäs' operating profit, subject to a lag of approximately three to six months.

Research and development

During the year, Korsnäs intensified cooperation with its largest customers, with a focus on expansion in terms of volumes for these customers. In several instances, work was through direct cooperation projects with the customer, with the value chain as the starting point for the development efforts. Work on the coating concept resulted in optimized products in all coated segments. Work with convertibility generated satisfactory results for existing products, which is expected to contribute to additionally improving interchangeability between machines. In cooperation with the marketing and production departments, several development efforts were implemented resulting in stronger market positions as basis, with excellent results. Work with the added-value concept in all end-user areas has commenced. The volumes pertaining to newly launched products expanded during the year and additional concepts have been prepared for future advancements and launches. Korsnäs invested SEK 76 m (76) on research and development during the year.

Risk management

Korsnäs' operational risks consist primarily of customer relations in respect of payment capacity and the risk of losing established relationships, as well as with suppliers in terms of reliability, quality and price, in addition to major accidents in the production. Korsnäs conducts regular surveys of customers and suppliers and undertakes extensive checks and maintenance to minimize the risk of production disruptions.

The risk that customers fail to fulfill their payment oligations is limited by means of credit checks, whereby all customers are analyzed by sales managers and a credit council monthly. Customers are also monitored continuously by the credit function using, for example, information from Dun &

Bradstreet. Deviations in relation to concluded agreements are managed on an ongoing basis by the credit council.

Within production operations, risk analyses are conducted with the focus on areas that could be expected to give rise to serious production disruptions. For identified risk areas, plans are drawn up regarding how these can be prevented as far as possible and how the management of abnormal situations is to be done. A corresponding analysis is also made for safety purposes and the work environment.

Korsnäs' net purchases of power during 2011 totaled 1,057 GWh. In addition, 393 GWh of in-house generated power was consumed. Since the Nordic electricity market was deregulated, financial hedging has been used to reduce exposure to temporary fluctuations in electricity prices. At the end of 2009, a decision was made to cease financial hedging since most other cost items, as well as a large portion of revenue, are immediately impacted by changes in market prices, and that electricity costs represent a small, and – following the conclusion of on-going energy investments – ever smaller portion of the company's cost base. Consequently, no new hedging contracts will be signed and the result of the portfolio held at year-end will be recognized as they fall due. As of 31 December 2011, the market value of financial hedges amounted to a negative SEK 8 m (positive 75), and comprises 17% of the estimated net power purchases in Sweden for 2012.

With regard to the purchase of pulpwood during 2011, approximately half of Korsnäs' pulpwood consumption was supplied from Bergvik Skog and Sveaskog. The remaining pulpwood derives from purchases in Sweden, Åland and the Baltic States. Most of the Swedish wood consists of softwood fiber, with most of the imported material consisting of hardwood fiber. Korsnäs'

agreement with Bergvik is long term and prices are updated continually.

For 2011, Korsnäs' net flow in foreign currencies was a net inflow of about SEK 600 m, comprised mainly of sales in Euro and GBP. The corresponding figure for 2012 is expected to amount to approximately SEK 800 m. The Group's policy is not to hedge this transaction exposure. The reason for this approach is that the Group is dealing with a continuously even net inflow of foreign currency for which, over time, hedging measures would also be affected by exchange rate changes.

Employees and organization

During 2011, Korsnäs commenced work on strategic competency and staff planning. The work signified that staffing issues will be handled in a more structured manner with adequate advance planning.

All Korsnäs' managers participated in three of six management modules during the year aimed at increasing knowledge of general leadership but also specific change management. The management program was conducted as part of the effort to implement KOM (Korsnäs Operative Target Management). In parallel with the management program, individual coaching was conducted, using both internal and external coaches. During the year, group-level development efforts were conducted.

As part of Korsnäs' strategic staffing effort, a group of skilled trainees were recruited to take over ordinary positions in the long-term.

A new method for career-development talks was prepared with representatives of the trade union organizations. All employees were informed during information meetings, followed by interactive training.

Telecom & Services

Kinnevik has strong market positions in mobile telephony in Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Scandinavia, the Baltics and Russia through its holdings in Millicom and Tele2. In total, Kinnevik's telecom assets cover a total population of 366 million people and have 77 million subscribers in 24 countries.

The market value of Kinnevik's shareholding in Millicom amounted to SEK 26,088 million on 31 December 2011. Millicom's shares are listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm's list for large-cap companies.

Millicom is a global telecommunications group with mobile telephony operations in 13 countries in Latin America and Africa. It also operates cable and broadband businesses in five countries in Central America. The Group's mobile operations have a combined population under license of approximately 260 million people.

Millicom's focus in 2011 was on growing its revenues through innovative products in the Information, Entertainment, Solutions, and mobile financial services (MFS) categories. The Information, Solutions and MFS categories combined now contribute in excess of 15% of recurring revenues. In Latin America, VAS amounts to more than one third of revenues.

Millicom now has more than 4 million users of data services in Latin America (2G and 3G) representing almost 16% of the regional customer base. The price of entry level smartphones is today below USD 100 in some of Milliocm's markets, a level the company believes close to the inflexion point for mass market adoption. Affordability of quality smartphones is crucial for adoption of 3G in Africa in particular.

Organic revenue increased by 10.5% in 2011 and despite the continued investments in data and mobile financial services, Millicom's EBITDA margin was 46.1% for the year. Revenue growth in Central America accelerated while Africa recovered to double digit top line growth by the end of the year. South America maintained a healthy growth rate.

Dividend

The Millicom Board will propose to the AGM in May 2012 the payment of a USD 2.40/share ordinary dividend, an increase of 33% versus last year. For the year 2012, a share buyback program up to USD 300 million has been approved by the Board.

Tele2 currently offers mobile telephony in eight countries. In most of these countries Tele2 provides mobile telephony to both private and business customers. Tele2 controls the network in six countries and lease network capacity from other operators under MVNO agreements in two.

Tele2 offers competitively priced, easy-to-use services, both in the postpaid and in the prepaid segments. Tele2 holds market-leading positions in prepaid mobile telephony in several countries under successful brands, e.g. Comviq in Sweden and Zelta Zivtina in Latvia.

In the corporate segment, Tele2 also offers more advanced services, in order to satisfy the need for buying communication as a service. One example is "Tele2 Direct", a network-based company switchboard service.

New technologies will change customer's behaviour. Tele2 believes that the mobile phone will more and more become the communication tool of choice both for consumers as well as for corporate users. An increasing number of functions are being built into the new mobile devices and the trend is clear, more customers cut the cord and move from fixed to mobile services.

The development in 2011 confirmed the momentum of Tele2's growth during 2011 with the completion of acquisitions in Norway (Network Norway), and in Austria (Silver Server), the launch of mobile services in 12 out of 16 regions in Kazakhstan and the acquisition of spectrum in Sweden, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and Kazakhstan to contribute to data strategies. Tele2 won 6 new regions in Russia, bringing the total to 43 (37).

Tele2 Russia added more than 2 million customers in 2011 out of 2.8 million for the group. As the Russian market matures, Tele2 intends to shift its focus from volume to value.

The Nordic operations continue to show growth with the expansion of the smartphone market in particular. In Sweden, the roll out of the 2G and 4G networks in the country accelerated to meet increasing data demand from customers. The market area again delivered strong cash flow during the fourth quarter and reinforced its standing as the major test bed for new technology and services.

Dividend

The Board of Tele2 AB has decided to recommend to the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in May 2012 a total dividend payment of SEK 13.00 (27.00) per ordinary A or B share, to be comprised of an ordinary dividend of SEK 6.50 (6.00) and an extraordinary dividend of SEK 6.50 (21.00).

Transcom entered 2012 with a stronger balance sheet after the recently completed rights issue. The restructuring program announced in the second quarter of 2011 is still underway. The successful completion of these restructuring actions is an important short-term focus area and Transcom continues to look for areas for improvement in order to achieve a financial uplift. The target is to optimize capacity and that will continue to be a focus area throughout 2012 as the company reviews its global delivery footprint.

Online services are growing strongly and Kinnevik is searching for various types of investments that will benefit from households spending a growing proportion of their time and budget online. The main focus is consumer-oriented services, with proven business concepts. Expansion in consumerrelated Internet services is capital-intensive and competition in the market is tough, but at the same time, the growth potential is significant.

In 2011, Kinnevik invested a total of SEK 2,933 m within Online, including SEK 2,673 m in Rocket Internet with portfolio companies, SEK 62 m in Avito and SEK 101 m in CDON.

At the end of the year, investments in Online were valued at a total of SEK 7,800 m. The assessed change in fair value recognized in the consolidated income statement amounted to SEK 2,666 m (640) for the year, of which SEK 1,813 m (209) related to the change of fair value of shares and warrants in Rocket Internet with portfolio companies, SEK 747 m (430) related to the change in fair value of directly owned shares in Groupon, and SEK 108 m (4) related to CDON.

In the valuation of Kinnevik's investment in Rocket Internet, and direct investments in Rocket's portfolio companies, all portfolio companies with the exception of Zalando and Groupon have been valued at cost, which is considered to correspond to fair value. Rocket's shares in Groupon have been valued at current stock-market price at year-end and Zalando is recognized at the assessed fair value by applying a multiple to the company's historic sales. The multiple was determined based on a comparison with a group of comparable companies.

During 2011 and early 2012, a number of Rocket's portfolio companies issued new shares to external investors at price levels that exceeded Kinnevik's recognized assessed fair values. Since the newly issued shares have better preference over the portfolio companies' assets in the event of liquidation or sale than Kinnevik's shares have, Kinnevik do not consider these price levels as a relevant base for assessing the fair values in the accounts. The latest transactions that have been made with better preference than Kinnevik's shareholdings, have been made at levels that, applied on Kinnevik's shareholdings, is above three billion kronor higher than Kinnevik's book value as per 31 December 2011.

Rocket Internet

Rocket Internet is a company that incubates and develops e-commerce and other consumer-oriented online companies. Through an agreement signed in 2009, Kinnevik owns 25% of Rocket Internet following the exercise of outstanding warrants (12% before exercise of warrants).

A new warehouse construction project was initiated in the city of Erfurt in Germany to start operations in 2012. Zalando has continued its strong growth in 2011. In the first half of 2011, the company generated net sales of approximately EUR 200 m, compared to full year sales of EUR 159 m in 2010.

Similar to the manner in which Kinnevik developed telecom services in emerging markets through innovative products and distribution networks, Kinnevik is now searching for investment opportunities in the microfinancing sector.

Bayport, a company offering micro credits and financial services in five African countries (Ghana, Uganda, Zambia, Tanzania and Botswana) as well as in Colombia, is Kinnevik's largest investment in the microfinancing sector. Bayport was founded in 2002 and has grown with profitability into a leading African micro credit company with total assets of around USD 265 m. The company has about 235,000 customers and the product portfolio is continuously expanding, primarily with loans with longer duration. Loans are used primarily for financing larger non-recurrent expenses, such as school fees, investment in farming or for starting smaller companies.

Ghana and Zambia are Bayport's largest markets, while also the other countries are displaying rapid growth. Bayport expanded its operations to Colombia in the first quarter of 2011 through the acquisition of a majority stake in the Colombian payroll deduction company FiMSA.

Black Earth Farming

Black Earth Farming (BEF), with shares listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm, is a leading agricultural company with operations in Russia. The company acquires and cultivates agricultural land in the fertile Black Earth region in South-west Russia.

Key data (USD m) 2011 2010
Revenue 77.6 59.9
Operating loss, EBIT -25.3 -25.7
Net loss -41.7 -36.4

Black Earth Farming's reported an operating loss for 2011. There are several driving factors, both external and internal, affecting crop yield and price including weather conditions as well as issues with harvest and storage logistics. Revenue per hectare was close to 2008 levels when yields were higher but prices lower. Operating costs per hectare were up year-on-year but the severe drought that impacted the 2010 harvest makes it an abnormal reference point, as some inputs were scaled back and volume driven costs were lower. Overhead and indirect costs per hectare are trending lower but the key to improving results going forward will be on the revenue side.

There are a lot of initiatives underway to lift crop yield performance. The end target is to lower the cost per ton to increase the potential of being highly profitable in a favorable year whilst staying profitable in a bad year. With an almost completely new management team put in place in the latter part of 2011 the process of improving performance has begun.

Agriculture – non-listed holdings

Kinnevik's wholly owned Polish agricultural company, Rolnyvik, operates the Barciany and Podlawki farms, with a total area of 6,705 hectares.

Rolnyvik reported operating profit of SEK 23 (16) m in 2011. The improved operating profit was attributable to the storage and sale of a substantial proportion of the preceding year's harvest in the beginning of 2011 at the going market rate for grain, which was higher than in 2010.

A dry growth season, followed by a very rainy harvest season, resulted in lower harvest per hectare, compared with the year-earlier period.

During the third quarter, Kinnevik divested its 30% shareholdings in the Ukrainian agricultural company, RawAgro, for SEK 28 m.

Renewable energy production is expected to see substantial growth in coming years, especially in Europe driven by EU commitments to 20% renewable production by 2020. Bioenergy is of strategic interest for Kinnevik given strong European growth expectations in combination with Kinnevik's experience from and activities in agriculture and forestry. The strategy is focused around two core areas – large scale wood pellets production, and local energy production based on biogas and biomass. Central and Eastern Europe is the main geographical focus where operations are conducted in the two companies Latgran and Vireo Energy.

Latgran conducts production of pellets from forest raw materials at the company's three production facilities in Latvia. All production is exported to several major industrial customers in Scandinavia and the rest of Northern Europe. Demand for pellets remained favorable during 2011. Increased costs for raw material and energy, which has not been fully compensated by price increases on pellets, resulted in a decrease in operating margin down to 10% compared to 18% in 2010. During the third quarter, the company's third pellets plant in South-east Latvia was commissioned as planned. The investment totalled approximately EUR 14 m and the plant will have a planned annual production of approximately 140,000 tons.

In 2010, Vireo Energy commenced operations aimed at building, owning and operating facilities that produce energy from renewable sources. Initially, the company is focusing primarily on projects to recover energy from landfill gas, and other forms of waste based biogas. Geographic focus is Poland and adjacent countries. Contracts have been signed for the recovery of biogas with a number of landfills in Poland and Belarus. Vireo are now investing in these facilities and is commencing the sale of energy.

Key events during 2011

Paper & Packaging

Korsnäs' operating profit for the full-year 2011 amounted to SEK 907 m, compared with SEK 926 million in 2010. Operating profit for 2011 includes insurance compensation of SEK 45 m, pertaining to damage to a soda recovery boiler JO'SÚWJ
XIJDIDBVTFETIPSUFSQSPEVDUJPOTIVUEPXOTJO and 2010. Operating profit for the current year was adversely impacted by a breakdown of a turbine in Gävle. The breakdown is estimated to have caused additional costs of SEK 40 m. Despite the negative effects from the breakdown of the turbine, energy costs were lower than the preceding year mainly due to energy investments in Gävle which has resulted in significant lower energy costs compared to 2010.

From a stable market position in the first quarter, the market was characterized by uncertainty since the second quarter and caution among customers who reduced their inventories and delayed placing orders due to uncertainty of the direction of the market.

The total offer value (excluding Kinnevik's existing holdings) for all shares and warrants amounts to approximately SEK 560 m and SEK 816 m including debentures.

From that perspective, Kinnevik believes that significant opportunities exist to further develop Metro outside of the stock exchange, where Kinnevik, as an active owner with significant capital resources for expansion and investments, can provide the long-term support for the management and the business that is needed in order to capture and fully capitalise on the opportunities that lie ahead.

In July, a judgment was handed down to Korsnäs Gävle from the Land and Environmental Court of the Östersund District Court. According to the judgment, Korsnäs must additionally reduce emissions of TOC (Total Organic Carbon, oxygen-consuming substances) from the plant in Gävle. Consequently, Korsnäs must invest approximately SEK 200- 300 m in its external purification facility in 2014. Korsnäs has appealed the judgment of the Land and Environmental Court and a review dispensation was granted in November.

Risk management

The Group's financing and management of financial risks is centralized within Kinnevik's finance function and is conducted on the basis of a finance policy established by the Board of Directors. The Group's operational risks are primarily evaluated and managed within the particular business area and then reported to the Kinnevik Board.

The Group has established a model for risk management, the aims of which are to identify, control and reduce risks. The identified risks and how they are managed are reported to the Kinnevik Board on a quarterly basis.

Kinnevik's wholly owned subsidiary Korsnäs accounts for most of the operational risks and they are mainly related to market development, customers and suppliers and the risk for a major accident in the production plants.

Kinnevik is exposed to financial risks mainly in the form of changes in the value of the stock portfolio, changes in market interest rates, exchange rate risks and liquidity and

refinancing risks.

The Group is also exposed to political risks since the companies in which Kinnevik invests have a substantial part of their operations in emerging markets such as Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa and Russia.

Financial Targets

Kinnevik's objective is to increase shareholder value, primarily through net asset value growth. In order to clarify Kinnevik's strategy the Board of Directors of Kinnevik has decided on the following financial targets. These reflect

Kinnevik's evaluation of its balance sheet structure, the criteria on which dividend payments to shareholders are based as well as the return targets on the portfolio companies.

Dividend policy

Kinnevik's dividend policy is to pay out more than 85% of ordinary dividends received from the listed holdings during the same year. Kinnevik's ambition is to continue to generate a progressive annual dividend for its shareholders.

The authority to repurchase Kinnevik's own shares will be utilised when such a program is deemed to be more attractive than other potential investments.

Balance sheet

Leverage in Kinnevik should be used as a tool for maximizing long-term shareholder return. The different targets are: (i) Korsnäs: To maximise return on invested capital, the leverage against Korsnäs shall be relatively high, which in today's market environment means a leverage of at least 3xEBITDA.

(ii) Listed share portfolio: To have financial flexibility in the Parent Company, the goal is to have no or a low leverage against the listed share portfolio.

Return target

The target is that the average yearly internal rate of return (IRR) on all investments in the portfolio should reach at least 15% given the current structure of the portfolio.

The total dividend payment to Kinnevik shareholders 2012 will then amount to SEK 1,525 m, corresponding to approximately 95% of the expected ordinary dividends from Millicom, Tele2 and MTG.

During 2012, the investments within Online, Microfinancing, Agriculture and Renewable energy are expected to be around SEK 5 billion compared to the SEK 3 billion that was invested in 2011.

The Nomination Committee would be elected for a period commencing with the publication of the Company's interim report for the third quarter of 2011 until the next Nomination Committee is formed. If a member of the Nomination Committee resigns prematurely, a replacement shall be appointed in consultation with the largest shareholders in the Company.

The Chairman of the Board, Cristina Stenbeck, was appointed Chairman of the Nomination Committee, an appointment that deviates from what the Code prescribes. The other members of the Nomination Committee declared their decision regarding election of the Chairman of the Nomination Committee as being in the Company and shareholders' best interest and a natural consequence of Cristina Stenbeck leading the Nomination Committee's work in recent years, as well as her connection to the Company's largest shareholders.

During 2011, Ernst & Young AB has provided certain services in issues regarding internal controls, Corporate Responsibility and IFRS. Information regarding remuneration appears in the Annual Report in Note 25 to the consolidated accounts and Note 5 to the Parent Company, Auditors' Fees for elected auditors.

The Board's description of internal control pertaining to the financial reporting for the 2011 fiscal year

The Board is responsible for internal control in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act and the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance. This description has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance, section 7.4 and Chapter 6, paragraph 6 and Chapter 7, paragraph 31 of the Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554), and is thus restricted to the internal control pertaining to the financial reporting.

Control environment

The purpose of the Board of Directors' rules of procedure and instructions for the CEO and Board committees is to ensure a distinct division of roles and responsibility that promotes the efficient management of operational and financial risks. The Board has also adopted a number of fundamental guidelines of significance to activities involving internal controls, which are described in Kinnevik's Policy and Procedure Manual and include instructions governing the financial reporting of results, authorization procedures, purchasing policies, investment policies, accounting principles, financial risk management and the internal audit. The Company's management reports regularly to the Board following established procedures. In addition, the Audit Committee reports on its work. The Company's management is responsible for the system of internal controls required

for managing risks associated with on-going operations. This includes guidelines for the employees to ensure that they understand the importance of their particular roles in efforts to maintain efficient internal control. The Company's operational and financial risks are reported each quarter to the Board, including an analysis of their consequences and financial impact in the event of them materializing, and how and who exercises on-going control over each risk and how these can be minimized. During 2011, the reporting format for the Risk report sent to the Board was updated in order to clarify the risks that might have the most significant financial impact if they would materialize.

Risk assessment and control activities

Kinnevik has implemented a model for assessing the risk of errors in accounting and the financial reporting based on COSO's framework for internal control. The most significant items and processes in which the risk of significant errors can typically arise for Korsnäs encompass sales, purchases of timber, energy and other input goods, inventory and the investment process. Intangible fixed assets and financial instruments in the income statement and balance sheet represent the most significant areas for the Parent Company and the Group. Kinnevik has documented work routines and continuously evaluates how well the controls function pertaining to these items and processes.

Internal audits

The Company engages external auditors that are responsible for following up and evaluating work involved in risk management and internal control. This work includes the monitoring of compliance with set guidelines. The internal auditors conduct their work on instructions from the Audit Committee and are continuously reporting the results of their examination in the form of written reports to the Committee.

Information and communication

Kinnevik's Policy and Procedure Manual and other guidelines of importance to financial reporting are updated at least once annually. Both formal and informal information channels to Company management and the Board of Directors are available for important information from employees. For external communication, guidelines have been compiled in an Information Policy that ensures that the Company complies with the meticulous demands for correct information to the market and other various constituencies, such as shareholders, Board members, employees and customers.

Follow-up

The Board of Directors continuously evaluates the information provided by Company management and the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee's work to monitor the efficiency of Company management's efforts in this area is of particular importance to the follow-up of internal controls. This work includes ensuring that action is taken concerning those shortcomings and proposed measures that result from the internal and external audit.

Notes to the Group's !nancial statements

Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Since the Parent Company is a company that is active in the EU, only EU-approved IFRS are applied. The consolidated accounts have also been prepared in accordance with Swedish law, with application of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 1 Supplementary accounting regulations for Groups. The Parent Company's annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with Swedish law, and with application of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Reporting for legal entities. This means that the IFRS valuation and disclosure rules are applied but with the deviations reported in the Parent Company's accounting principles.

New and revised standards 2011

There are no new standards for 2011 that have had any effect on Kinnevik's financial position or results.

Future IFRS amendments

The IASB has published three new standards relating to consolidation; IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements , IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosures of interests in Other Entities, as well as amended IAS 27 and IAS 28. The effective date for these standards and amendments for Kinnevik is as from 1 January 2013. EU has not yet endorsed these standards and amendments.

The main potential effect for Kinnevik is that the new definition of control in IFRS10 can lead to a requirement for consolidation of some of the holdings that today are accounted at fair value through profit and loss. The new standards furthermore include more extensive disclosure requirements which will have an impact on Kinnevik's disclosures covering consolidated and unconsolidated entities.

Kinnevik has not finalized the investigation of the impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application or in subsequent periods due to the fact that the standards and amendments are not yet endorsed by the EU, and also the fact that there is another exposure draft called Investment Entities which, if it will be endorsed by the EU, could mean that Kinnevik will continue to account for the holdings at fair value through profit and loss if Kinnevik would meet the definition of an Investment entitity. No other new or revised IFRS principles or interpretations are expected to have any effect on Kinnevik except for additional supplementary disclosures.

Basis of preparation of consolidated accounts

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for investments in forest and other biological assets, derivative financial instruments and certain financial assets valued at fair value through profit and loss. The consolidated statements are presented in Swedish kronor (SEK) and all values are rounded to the nearest million except when otherwise indicated.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group as of 31 December each year. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the Parent Company, using consistent accounting policies.

The consolidated financial statements include the Parent Company and all companies in which the Parent Company controls more than 50% of the votes or in any other way exercises a controlling influence.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Where there is a loss of control of a subsidiary, the consolidated financial statements include the result for the part of the reporting year during which the Group has control.

The consolidated accounts are prepared using the purchase method. The difference between the acquisition value of shares in a subsidiary and the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of that subsidiary at the time of acquisition is reported as goodwill.

Intercompany transactions, balance sheet items and unrealized gains on transac-

tions between companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction evidences the need to write down the transferred asset.

Non-controlling interest

Non-controlling interest – consisting of the profit/loss portion and net assets in Group companies that do not accrue to the Parent Company's shareholders – are reported as a special item in consolidated shareholders' equity. In the consolidated income statement, the non-controlling interest share is included in reported earnings and information is given in connection with the Statement of income.

Foreign currency translation

The functional and presentation currency of the Parent Company and its Swedish subsidiaries is Swedish kronor (SEK). Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Realized and unrealized exchange gains/losses on receivables and liabilities of an operating nature are reported in operating income, while exchange rate differences on financial assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are reported among financial items. Korsnäs has elements of its borrowing in foreign currency, which is aimed at balancing net exposure of current receivables and liabilities. The translation differences of these loans are recognized in operating profit.

As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of subsidiaries that have not the same functional currency as the Group are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Their income statements are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken in other comprehensive income and as a separate component of equity. On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognized in equity relating to that particular foreign operation are recognized in the income statement through Other comprehensive income.

Long-term monetary balances between the Parent Company and subsidiaries may be deemed to represent an extension or a contraction of the Parent Company's net investment in the subsidiary. Foreign currency differences arising on such balances are therefore charged as other comprehensive income as a translation difference.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets with a finite useful life are measured on initial recognition at cost and are then carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line schedule based on the acquisition value of the asset and its estimated useful life.

Goodwill consists of the amount by which the acquisition value exceeds the fair value of the Group's share in the identifiable net assets of the acquired subsidiary/ associated company at the time of acquisition. Goodwill from the acquisition of subsidiaries is reported as intangible assets. Intangible assets including goodwill are tested for impairment annually to identify any possible need of a write-down and is reported at its acquisition value less accumulated write-downs. Gains or losses on the divestment of a unit include the remaining reported value of the goodwill relating to the divested unit.

Goodwill is distributed among cash-generating units when it is tested with respect to a possible need for a write-down.

Tangible and biological assets

Tangible assets are recognized at cost less deduction of accumulated depreciation and any impairment. The cost includes the purchase price, as well as expenses and borrowing costs directly attributable to the asset being put into position and in working order for utilization according to the purpose of the acquisition. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line schedule based on the acquisition value of the asset and its estimated useful life. The assets residual values, useful lives and methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end.

Forest and other biological assets are recorded at their fair value.

Impairment

Assets are assessed with respect to the reduction in their value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the reported value might not be recoverable. To calculate the impairment requirement, assets are grouped in cash-generating units. An impairment loss is done in the amount by which the assets' reported value exceeds its recovery value. The recovery value is the higher of an assets' fair value, less the cost of sale and the value in use. The value in use comprises the present value of deposits and disbursements attributable to the asset during the time it is expected to be in use in operations, plus the present value of the net sales value at the end of the useful life.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or financial liability is recognized in the balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the instrument's contractual terms. Accounts receivable are recognized when the invoice is sent. A liability is recognized when the counterparty has performed and there is a contractual obligation to pay, even if the invoice has not yet been sent.

A financial asset is derecognized from the balance sheet when the rights in the contract are realized, expired or the Company loses control over them. The same applies for a portion of a financial asset. A financial liability is derecognized from the balance sheet when the obligation in the contract is met or in some other manner is extinguished. The same applies for a portion of a financial liability.

Acquisition and divestment of financial assets are reported on the transaction date, which is the date on which the Company commits to acquire or divest the assets.

Financial assets

Financial assets, with the exception of loan receivables, trade receivables and assets held to maturity, are valued at their fair value through profit and loss.

The fair value of financial instruments traded on an active market is based on the market prices listed on the closing date. The listed market price used for the Group's financial assets is the current bid price. For companies with two classes of shares the market price for the most liquid share class is used.

Kinnevik's unlisted holdings within the business areas Online, Microfinancing, Agriculture and Renewable Energy are valued using the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines, whereby a collective assessment is made to establish the valuation method that is most suitable for individual holdings. Firstly, it is considered whether any new transactions have been implemented at arm's length in the holdings, such as rights issues directed to shareholders other than Kinnevik. For new issues, consideration is taken to if the newly issued shares have better preference to the holding's assets than earlier issued shares if the company is being liquidated or sold. If no transactions were recently implemented in the holdings, or a new issue was made with better preference than Kinnevik's shares have, a valuation will be conducted by applying relevant multiples to the Company's historical and forecast key figures, such as sales, EBITDA, EBIT, the size of the loan portfolio (companies in the financial sector), the number of hectares of land (companies in the agricultural sector), whereby a comparison will be made with a selected group of comparable companies. In such a comparison, consideration will be given to potential adjustments due to, for example, difference in size, history or geographic market between the current holding and the group of comparable companies. In the event that there are other methods that would better reflect the fair value of the holding, the outcome from this method will be compared with the outcome from other relevant methods. After that, an assessment will be made of which method that best reflects the market capitalization of the current holding and the holding is valued according to this method.

Financial assets held to maturity are valued at the accrued cost by using the effective interest method.

When establishing the fair value of other financial instruments, methods that in every individual case are assumed to provide the best estimation of fair value have been used. For assets and liabilities maturing within one year, a nominal value adjusted for interest payments and premiums is assumed to provide a good approximation to fair value.

Information is provided in Note 31 for the Group per class of financial instruments that are valued at fair value in the balance sheet, distributed in the three levels stated below:

Level 1: Fair value established based on listed prices in an active market for the same instrument.

Level 2: Fair value established based on valuation techniques with observable

market data, either directly (as a price) or indirectly (derived from a price) and not included in Level 1.

Level 3: Fair value established using valuation techniques, with significant input from data that is not observable in the market.

Associates

Companies in which the Group has significant influence and which is not a subsidiary are regarded as associated companies.

In accordance with IAS 28 point 1, listed and unlisted holdings in associated companies within the business areas Telecom & services, Media, Online, Microfinancing, Agriculture and Renewable Energy are reported at their fair value. When establishing the fair value of holdings in associates the same methods as for financial instruments are used.

Other unlisted associated companies are accounted for using the equity method. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist before the Group's interest in earnings is calculated.

Adjustments for intra-group profits/losses arising out of transactions with associated companies are made in connection with the calculation of the Group's consolidated interest in earnings and capital. Elimination of such intra-group profits/losses occurs in pace with their realization through the sale of the particular assets to external parties and/or by reduction of the Group's ownership interest in the associated company.

Loan receivables and trade receivables

Loan receivables and other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with defined or definable payments and defined maturities that are not listed on an active market. The values established are amortized cost, and the valuation is based on the effective interest method (using the effective interest method that is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument).

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognized and carried at invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified.

Trade receivable pertain to a large number of customers mainly in Sweden and the rest of Europe. The Group deals mainly with well-established and creditworthy counterparties, which reduces the credit risk.

Credit risks pertaining to the Group's other financial assets, which include cash and cash equivalents, are the risks of failure to pay by counterparties. The maximum risk corresponds to the financial instruments' reported value.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities not held for trading are measured at accrued acquisition value, which is determined based on the effective interest rate calculated when the liability was assumed. This means that surplus and deficit values as well as direct costs in conjunction with assuming of loans are distributed over the term of the liability. Long-term liabilities have an expected term of exceeding one year, while current

liabilities have a term of less than one year.

Trade payables have short expected term and are valued at nominal value.

Accounting for derivatives and hedging

The Group's derivative instruments consist primarily of futures contracts to cover the risk of changes in power prices. All derivatives are reported initially and continually at their fair value in the balance sheet. Changes in the value of derivatives categorized as a cash flow hedge are reported as other comprehensive income and are reversed to the income statement in pace with effect of the hedge cash flow on earnings. Any ineffective portion of the change in value is reported directly in the income statement.

Inventories

Inventory of raw materials, consumables, work in progress and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and net sales value. Inventory is valued on a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) basis.

Felling rights, representing the cost to acquire the right to fell timber on land that the Group does not own, are valued at acquisition cost and are expensed when the corresponding wood is used in production or sold. Felling rights are reclassified as raw materials (logs and timber) as the timber is harvested based on the relationship between the remaining book value of the felling rights and the estimated volume of recoverable timber.

The costs of purchase of inventories comprise the purchase price, import duties

and other taxes (other than VAT), and transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of inventories. Trade discounts, rebates and other similar items are deducted in determining the costs of purchase.

Net sales value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Employee remuneration

The Group has one defined benefit multi-employer plan, which is insured with the mutual insurance company Alecta (ITP plan). There is a lack of information to permit the reporting of the Group's proportional share of the defined benefit commitment and of the plan assets and costs associated with this plan. Consequently, the plan is reported as if it were a defined contribution plan, which means that the expenses incurred are reported as a cost.

In addition, the Group has one defined benefit pension plan covering employees in Sweden. The cost of providing benefits in accordance with this plan is determined via the Projected Unit Credit Method (PUCM method) on the basis of actuarial assumptions. Deviation from the actual pension expenses and return represent actuarial gains and losses. All actuarial gains and losses, plus any supplements for payroll taxes, are charged to other comprehensive income. Pension commitments are reported as a liability in the balance sheet. The liability is calculated on the basis of company-specific actuarial assumptions, with due consideration of such features as the estimated future pension increases.

Share-based remuneration

Kinnevik has share-saving programs for which the fair value, calculated on the date of allotment, of the allotted share-based instruments is expensed over the vesting period and is recognized directly in equity. Instrument issued within the Group's sharesavings program consists of shares. Kinnevik classifies the share-related remuneration programs as transactions that will be regulated with equity instrument. The fair value of the shares consists of the market price on each allocation occasion. The cost is based on the Group's assessment of the number of shares that will be allotted. A new assessment of the anticipated number of allocated shares is performed at year-end. Fair value is restated on every balance-sheet date, to reflect calculations of social security costs expensed continuously over the vesting period in the various companies.

Other provisions

Provisions are reported when the Group has a legal or contractual obligation to fulfill the obligation, when it is likely that a payment or some other form of compensation is required to settle the undertaking and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reported at their discounted present value when the time horizon exceeds two years. A provision for restructuring is reported when the Group has presented a detailed plan for the implementation of the measures and the plan has been communicated to the parties involved and soundly based anticipation is created.

Revenue recognition

Sale of products

Revenue from the sale of products, net of allowance for returns and discounts, is recognized when products are delivered and significant risks and benefits associated with ownership of the goods are transferred and can be reliably measured.

Rendering of services

Revenue from the sale of services is recognized at the time the service is rendered to the customer, after deductions for discounts.

Interest

Revenue is recognized as the interest accrues to the net carrying amount of the financial assets.

Dividends received

Dividends received are recognized when the shareholders' right to receive the payment is assessed as certain.

Research and Development costs

Research and development costs are charged to the income statement during the year they arise, unless the Company can demonstrate that the amount will be able to generate future economic benefit.

Marketing costs

Advertising costs and other marketing activities are expensed as they arise.

Income tax

The total tax on the year's income consists of current and deferred tax. Taxes are stated in the income statement except when the underlying transaction is charged to other comprehensive income or directly against equity, in which case the related tax effect is also stated in equity. Current tax expense is the tax that is to be paid or received for the year in question, plus correction of tax expense for earlier periods. Deferred tax is calculated on the basis of the temporary differences between the book values of assets and liabilities and their value for tax purposes. The amounts are calculated on the basis of how these differences can be expected to be evened out and using the tax rates and rules in effect or announced as of the closing date. Temporary differences are not recorded in the case of differences attributable to interests in subsidiaries and associated companies that are not expected to be taxable in the foreseeable future. In the consolidated financial statements, untaxed reserves are divided into deferred tax liability and equity. The deferred tax asset component of deductible temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards is only recorded in so far as it is likely that these will result in a lower tax payment in the future.

Dividends paid

For dividends in kind, the net assets market value is recorded as dividend. Cash dividends to shareholders are recorded in the accounting period the dividend is approved.

Leases

Leases are classified in the consolidated accounts as financial leases or operational leases. A financial lease is when the financial risk and benefits are associated with the ownership of an item is essentially transferred from the lessee to the lessor, regardless of whether or not the lessee retains the legal right of ownership of the asset. For financial leases, the leasing asset is reported as an asset and the obligation for future payments as a liability in the balance sheet. An operating lease is a lease that does not fulfill the conditions for financial leases. For operating leases, the rental expense is reported in the lessee's accounts distributed equally over the period during which the asset is used, even if the payments are made according to some other schedule.

Cash flow statement

For purposes of the Parent Company and the consolidated cash-flow statements, the Group include cash and investments with original duration of maximum three months among cash and bank. The book value of these items corresponds to fair value.

Significant judgments and assumptions

The preparation of the annual financial statements and consolidated financial statements includes a number of estimates and assumptions. The application of these estimates and assumptions affects the reporting and disclosures. Accounting policies that require more significant judgments by the Board and the management in the application of IFRS, and assumptions and estimations in matters that are inherently uncertain, are summarized below.

In accordance with IAS 28, that deals with accounting for shares in associated companies, Kinnevik can recognize such shares at fair value through profit or loss or apply the equity method of accounting. The Board and management has made the judgment that an accounting at fair value through profit or loss most often reflects in the best way how the Group follows and evaluates its shares in associated companies. Shares in associated companies are therefore most often reported at fair value in the balance sheet, whereas the change in fair value affects the result for the year. Consequently, the reported results and equity of Kinnevik are primarily affected by changes in the fair value of the shares and only indirectly by the reported results of the associated companies, as opposed to an accounting according to the equity method.

Valuation of unlisted holdings are to a higher degree based on estimates and assumptions than valuation of holdings traded on an active market.

Actuarial assumptions and other assumptions and estimations when estimating the provisions for pensions (Note 22) and other provisions (Note 23) could have a material impact on the financial statements. The estimates used are based on experience, market information and practice, and are regularly reviewed.

Of deferred tax liabilities of SEK 1,079 m (1,137) relating to tangible and biological fixed assets, SEK 1,072 m (1,065) is attributable to untaxed reserves in the form of accumulated excess depreciation.

Deferred tax is not stated for associated companies, subsidiaries and other shareholdings, as any dividend paid by these companies will not give rise to a tax liability, and divestments may be made without giving rise to capital gains taxation.

For warrants held in companies within Online and Microfinancing, no deferred tax was taken into account since they will not be sold but will instead be utilized for share subscriptions.

Tax loss carryforwards

The Group's tax loss carryforwards amounted to SEK 66 m (136) at 31 December, of which SEK 48 m (87) is attributable to Sweden with eternal duration and the remaining amount is limitied to five years. A deferred tax asset of SEK 0 m (21) was recognized in the consolidated balance sheet, of which SEK 0 m (16) relates to tax loss carryforwards, that were added through the acquisition of Emesco AB in 2009.

Tax disputes

Following the companies' tax audit, the National Tax Board appealed the Parent Company's taxation for 2001 and 2002. The main issue pertained to the right to deduct SEK 100 m for divested receivables. In March 2010, the Administrative Court of Appeal delivered a ruling on the dispute, which was to the advantage of the Company. Consequently, the Company received a tax refund of SEK 22 m, which had earlier been paid in 2009, as well as the entitlement to a further loss carryforwards of SEK 23 m (SEK 6 m tax effect). Including interest of SEK 4 m, income totaling SEK 32 m was thus recognized during 2010, as a result of the positive ruling for the Company. The National Tax Board did not appeal the ruling of the Administrative Court of Appeal.

In June 2010, the Swedish Tax Board submitted a petition to the Administrative Court that Kinnevik's sale of Invik in 2007 was not tax-exempt as reported in Kinnevik's accounts. Kinnevik's opinion of the issue is that the Company complied with applicable regulations and general practices and that the transaction is taxexempt, why the petition from the Tax Board has been contested. In 2011, the Administrative Court handed down a ruling in the case, which was prejudicial to the company. Kinnevik has appealed the ruling to the Administrative Court of Appeal. In the event the ruling by the Administrative Court of Appeal is prejudicial to the company, the maximum exposure will be SEK 120 m in additional tax after offsetting previously unutilized capital losses that have not been recognized in the accounts.

For purposes of calculating depreciation, other intangible fixed assets are assumed to have estimated useful economic lives of 5-8 years.

Goodwill that has arisen through company acquisitions is distributed among four cash-generating units: G3 Good Governance Group (G3), Korsnäs pertaining primarily to the acquisition of Frövi, Karskär Energi and Rockhammar; Latsin in Latvia; and Relevant Traffic. An impairment test was performed at the end of 2011. The value in use for Korsnäs and Latsin was calculated on the basis of discounted cash flows, assuming an annual growth rate of 2%, and based on the budget for 2012 for both units and a pretax discount interest rate of 10% (10%), corresponding to the companies' average cost of capital. No impairment requirement for the goodwill on these units was identified. Nor did a sensitivity analysis, whereby the discount interest rate

was increased by one percentage point and cash flow was reduced by 10%, give rise to any impairment requirement.

For Relevant Traffic, the calculation was based on a pretax discount interest rate of 14%, plus forecasted profit in 2012 and a moderate growth in 2013 to 2015 and thereafter a growth of approximately 2%, which is regarded as reasonable since the company is active in an immature and growing market.

The acquisition of G3 in 2011 generated goodwill of SEK 135 m. Testing for possible impairment requirements at the end of the year showed that the company's earning ability remains high and that the value had not decreased since the acquisition.

1) In December 2011, Kinnevik signed a new syndicated credit facility of SEK 5,300 m, replacing six bilateral loan facilities totaling SEK 4,950 m. The new facility, with effective date in January 2012, has a tenor of 3 years with two extension options for another year each meaning that if both are fully exercised, the effectice tenor will be 5 years.

2) DnB NOR ASA is the facility agent for a syndicated facility with Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank (France) Sweden Branch, DnB NOR Bank ASA London Branch, Nordea Bank AB (publ), Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ), Svenska Handelsbanken AB (publ) and Swedbank AB (publ) as participating banks. Utilisation under the facility agreement is subject to compliance of certain covenants, including key ratios for net debt to EBITDA and EBITDA in relation to net interest payables. As of 31 December 2011 all covenants were complied for.

Note 22 Provisions for pensions

Kinnevik has defined benefit occupational pension plans for some of its salaried employees within Korsnäs in Sweden (ITP plan) and for some former employees within the Parent Company. At the beginning of 2010, Korsnäs' new earnings plan was discontinued, resulting in Korsnäs instead paying pension premiums to Alecta. The following tables present an overview of the items included in net cost for the compensation reported in the consolidated income statement for the Groups' defined benefit pension plans. They also present amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet.

The year's actuarial revaluation resulted in a loss of SEK 14 m (gain 6), including corresponding payroll tax income of SEK 4 m (cost 1), and this was recognized against comprehensive income. The accumulated actuarial losses totaled SEK 101 m (87).

Future pay increases N/A N/A
Future pension increases (inflation) 1.75 1.75

Since the interest rates for government bonds are considered being too low in a long term perspective, mortgage bond rates have been used in the discounting with consideration to the average term of the underlying pension liabilities.

Some of the defined benefit pension commitments on behalf of salaried employees within Korsnäs in Sweden are secured by means of insurance policies with Alecta. As Alecta cannot provide sufficient information to permit the ITP plan to be stated in the accounts as defined benefit it is stated in accordance with UFR 6 as defined contribution. Fees paid during the year for pension insurance policies covered by Alecta amount to SEK 13 m (18). Alecta's surplus may be distributed to policyholders and/or the insured. Alecta's surplus in form of collective solvency ratio was 113% (146%).

The cost of all defined contribution plans amounted to SEK 74 m (88) for the Group (including premiums paid to Alecta).

The Group's payments into the defined benefit plan in 2012 are expected to amount to SEK 12 m.

County administrative boards have submitted claims to Kinnevik regarding environmental studies at a number of sites where Fagersta AB (through name changes and a merger, Investment AB Kinnevik) conducted operations until 1983. Kinnevik's position is that the Company's responsibility to perform any decontamination measures must be very limited if any, primarily out of consideration to the long period of time that has passed since any potential contamination damages occurred and the regulations that were in force at the time, and the fact that a quarter century has passed since operations were shut down or turned over to new owners. Kinnevik has therefore not made any provisions for potential future claims for decontamination measures. SEK 5 m was provided in 2007 for potential environmental studies that Kinnevik might be required to pay for and of this approximately SEK 1.2 m was used in 2010 and 2011.

Principles

Guidelines on remuneration for senior executives approved by the Annual General Meeting in 2011 are presented in the Board of Directors' Report. From these guidelines a Remuneration Committee draw up principles and proposal for the remuneration of the senior executives.

Following consultation with the Nomination Group, the Board appoints members and the Chairman in the Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration Committee's task covers issues involving salaries, pensions, incentive programs, variable remuneration and other terms and conditions of employment for the management of the Parent Company and the CEO of Korsnäs.

Cristina Stenbeck, Dame Amelia Fawcett, Wilhelm Klingspor and Erik Mitteregger were members of the Remuneration Committee during 2011. Wilhelm Klingspor was the Committee Chairman.

Remuneration to the CEO and other senior executives consists of fixed salary, variable salary, customary benefits and pension. Variable salary may not exceed 50% of the fixed salary. During 2011 and 2010 there was, besides the CEO, five other senior executives employed within Kinnevik.

For the CEO of the Parent Company, pension premium payments of 20% of fixed salary were paid. In the event of termination of employment initiated by the Company, the CEO is entitled to a salary during a notice period of 18 months. Any salary received from new employment during the notice period reduces salary received from Kinnevik during the notice period. In the event of termination of employment initiated by the CEO, the notice period is 12 months.

For the five other senior executives pension premium payments of a maximum of 20% of fixed salary were paid. Pension premiums are paid to insurance companies. In the event of termination of employment initiated by the Company, other senior

executives are entitled to a salary over a notice period of a minimum 6 and a maximum 18 months. Any salary received from new employment during the notice period reduces salary received from Kinnevik during the notice period.

Incentive plan

There are long-term incentive plans (the "Plans") for senior executives and other key employees in the Kinnevik Group that require participants to own shares in Kinnevik.

For each share held within the framework of the Plans, the Company has distributed retention and performance-based share rights. Subject to fulfillment of certain retention- and performance-based conditions during the individual periods included in the Plans (1 April 2009 - 31 March 2012,1 April 2010 - 31 March 2013 and 1 April 2011- 31 March 2014, the "Measure Periods"), the participant remaining in the employment of the Kinnevik Group at the time of publication of the interim reports for the January - March 2012, January - March 2013, January - March 2014 periods, and subject to the participant retaining the invested shares, each retention right and performance right will entitle the participant to receive one class B share in the Company.

The number of shares the employee will receive depends on the fulfillment of defined retention- and performance-based conditions during the Measure Periods based on:

  • Total return on the Kinnevik class B share
  • Average annual development of the net asset value, including dividends
  • Average annual return within Online, Microfinancing, Agriculture and Renewable energy areas.
  • Average normal return on working capital at Korsnäs
  • Average EBITDA margin at Korsnäs in relation to a peer group

The goals included in each participant's program will depend on the company in which the participant is employed.

In order to equalize participants' interests with those of shareholders, the Company will compensate for forfeited dividends by increasing the number of shares and rights to which they are entitled.

Note 32 Financial risk management

The Group's financing and management of financial risks is centralized within Kinnevik's finance function and is conducted on the basis of a finance policy established by the Board of Directors. The Group has a model for risk management with the aim to identify, control and reduce risks. The output of the model is reported to the Kinnevik Board on a quarterly basis.

Kinnevik is exposed to financial risks mainly in respect of

  • The stock market, meaning the risk of changes in the value of the listed holdings.
  • The interest rates, resulting from changes in underlying interest rates.
  • The exchange rates, comprising transaction and translation exposure.

– Liquidity and refinancing, meaning the risk that the cost of financing will increase or that opportunities will be limited when loans mature, and that payment obligations cannot be met due to insufficient liquidity.

Stock market risk

Kinnevik's strategy is to participate actively in the companies in which the Group invests. Operations include management of a stock portfolio comprising considerable investments in a small number of listed and unlisted companies. Accordingly, the portfolio is concentrated to a small number of companies, which makes the return is highly dependent on how well these companies and their particular industries develop. By being an active owner, the return can be maximized and the risks controlled.

The Group's assets, through ownership of shares in a number of companies conducting operations in more than 60 countries, are exposed to political risks. More than 50% of the market value of Kinnevik's combined assets of approximately SEK 69 billion at 31 December 2011, were exposed to growth markets in Latin America, Sub Saharan Africa, Russia and Eastern Europe.

The concentrated portfolio results in a significant liquidity risk in the portfolio, in that it is difficult for Kinnevik during a limited time to make major changes in the portfolio's composition without this affecting the share price.

Parts of the stock portfolio are used as collateral for Kinnevik's loans from credit institutions. On 31 December 2011, 11% (10%) of the listed stock portfolio was used as collateral for the Group's loans; also refer to Note 27.

The stock market risk associated with Kinnevik's portfolio may be illustrated by stating that a 1% change in the prices of all of the listed shareholdings at 31 December 2011 would have affected earnings and shareholders' equity by SEK 528 m. Further, the value of the unlisted shareholdings may increase or decrease due to a number of different factors, of which changes of trends in the stock markets is one. A 1% change of value of all of the unlisted shareholdings at 31 December 2011 would have affected earnings and shareholders' equity by SEK 70 m.

Interest rate risk

Kinnevik's main policy is to maintain short interest periods because the Company believes that this leads to lower interest expense over time. The Group has no borrowing subject to periods of fixed interest exceeding three months. On 31 December 2011, all of Kinnevik's liabilities to credit institutions, SEK 6,706 m, were exposed to interest rate changes, of which SEK 6,350 m to changes in Stibor and SEK 356 m to changes in Euribor. It would take three months for an increase in short-term interest rates to gain its full impact on Kinnevik's interest expense. Accordingly, if the interest rate at 31 December 2011 had risen with 1% the average interest expense on an annualized basis would have risen by SEK 67 m. Any short-term negative effects from increases in the interest rate does not have any material impact on Kinnevik due to the positive operating cash flow from Korsnäs and dividends received from a number of Kinnevik's listed holdings, but the risk is continuously monitored to manage the potential impact a sharp increase in the interest rate would have on the business..

Foreign exchange rate risk

Transaction exposure

The Group's revenues and operating expenses arise mainly in SEK and EUR . The Group's policy is to endeavor to match revenues and costs in the same currency. The net flow of the Group's inflow and outflow in foreign currency amounted to a net inflow of approximately SEK 600 m (600) for the year, which consisted mainly of EUR. The Group's policy is not to hedge this type of transaction exposure. The reason for this approach is that the Group is dealing with a continuously even net inflow of foreign currency for which, over time, hedging measures would also be affected by exchange rate changes. However, specific transactions where the foreign exchange rate risks are material may be hedged on a case by case basis. As per 31 December 2011, Kinnevik had no outstanding hedging contracts.

A change in the EUR/SEK rate by SEK +/-5% would have affected consolidated profit in 2011 by approximately SEK +/-30 m.

Translation exposure

Translation exposure arises when the earnings and shareholders' equity of foreign subsidiaries are translated into SEK. This exposure also arises in situations when the capital employed and the financing of it is in different currencies. Kinnevik's policy is to minimise the foreign exchange rate risk by borrowing in various currencies to finance capital employed. If this is not possible and significant temporary exposures exist, the Group's finance policy permits the use of forward contracts. On 31 December 2011, there were no outstanding forward contracts with this purpose. Translation exposure arising from the translation of the foreign subsidiaries' earnings and shareholders' equity is not hedged since the exposure is considered being of no material importance to Kinnevik. A change in the PLN/SEK rate by 5% would have affected consolidated net assets by SEK 9 m (9) on 31 December 2011. A change in the LVL/SEK rate by 5% would have affected consolidated net assets by SEK 7 m (7) on the same date. A change in the EUR/SEK rate or USD/SEK rate would have no material effect on the consolidated net assets.

In addition to the translation exposure existing in the operative subsidiaries, Kinnevik owns shares in listed companies that engage in foreign operations, such as Millicom, Tele2 and MTG. The principal exchange rate risk exists in Millicom, a company that reports in USD and conducts operations in Latin America and Africa. On 31 December 2011, the book value of the holdings in Millicom was SEK 26,088 m.

Liquidity and refinancing risk

Kinnevik's liquidity risk is limited because listed shares account for a large part of the Company's assets. On 31 December 2011, the Company also had cash and cash equivalents amounting to SEK 182 m and committed but unutilized credit facilities amounting to SEK 5,283 m.

Kinnevik's refinancing risk is limited by having loans from a number of different credit institutions with diversified maturities as well as by striving for refinancing of all credit facilities at least six months prior to maturity. In December 2011, Kinnevik signed a new syndicated credit facility of SEK 5,300 m. This facility, with effective date in January 2012, has a tenor of 3 years with two extension options for another year each meaning that if both are fully exercised, the effectice tenor will be 5 years.

On 31 December 2011, the available amount under the existing credit facilities totalled SEK 11,989 m (11,955). The average remaining term was 3.1 (3.2) years. including the new facility.

Notes to the Parent Company's financial statements

Note 1 Parent Company's accounting principles

The Parent Company's annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with Swedish law and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 (Reporting for legal entities).

The Parent Company's accounting principles depart from the principles governing consolidated accounting in respect of the valuation of financial instruments and pension liabilities. The Parent Company applies RFR 2 in respect of the option not to observe IAS 39. Financial instruments are thus not valued at fair value as in the Group but at their acquisition cost and after write-down, if any. Pension liabilities are reported in accordance with Swedish principles. From 2011, Group contribution is recognized as Earnings from financial assets. Comparative figures for 2010 have been changed according to the new policies, entailing that earnings for 2010, after recalculation, amounted to SEK 2,061 m, compared with SEK 2,264 m according to the previous policies. In the past, Group contribution was recognized according to UFR 2 Group contribution and shareholder contribution directly in equity.

For information concerning related party transactions, refer to Note 29 for the Group.

County administrative boards have submitted claims to Kinnevik regarding environmental studies at a number of sites where Fagersta AB (through name changes and a merger, Investment AB Kinnevik) conducted operations until 1983. Kinnevik's position is that the Company's responsibility to perform any decontamination measures must be very limited, if any, primarily out of consideration to the long period of time that has passed since any potential contamination damages occurred and the regulations that were in force at the time, and the fact that a quarter century has passed since operations were shut down or turned over to new owners. Kinnevik has therefore not made any provisions for potential future claims for decontamination measures. SEK 5 m was provided in 2007 for potential environmental studies that Kinnevik might be required to pay for of which approximately SEK 1.2 m was used in 2010 and 2011.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the annual accounts and consolidated accounts

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation, of the annual accounts in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and, of the consolidated accounts in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors and the Managing Director determine is necessary to enable the preparation of annual accounts and consolidated accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the annual accounts and consolidated accounts. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company's preparation and fair presentation of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors and the Managing Director, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinions

In our opinion, the annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the parent company as of 31 December 2011 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act, and the consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the group as of 31 December 2011 and of their financial performance and cash flows in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the EU, and the Annual Accounts Act. A corporate governance statement has been prepared. The statutory administration report and the corporate governance statement are consistent with the other parts of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts.

We therefore recommend that the annual meeting of shareholders adopt the income statement and balance sheet for the parent company and the group.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

In addition to our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, we have examined the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss and the administration of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director of Investment AB Kinnevik (publ) for the year 2011.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director

The Board of Directors is responsible for the proposal for appropriations of the company's profit or loss, and the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for administration under the Companies Act.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion with reasonable assurance on the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss and on the administration based on our audit. We conducted the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden.

As a basis for our opinion on the Board of Directors' proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss, we examined the Board of Directors' reasoned statement and a selection of supporting evidence in order to be able to assess whether the proposal is in accordance with the Companies Act.

As a basis for our opinion concerning discharge from liability, in addition to our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, we examined significant decisions, actions taken and circumstances of the company in order to determine whether any member of the Board of Directors or the Managing Director is liable to the company. We also examined whether any member of the Board of Directors or the Managing Director has, in any other way, acted in contravention of the Companies Act, the Annual Accounts Act or the Articles of Association.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinions

We recommend to the annual meeting of shareholders that the profit be appropriated in accordance with the proposal in the statutory administration report and that the members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director be discharged from liability for the financial year.
