PRESS RELEASE 5 December 2012

THE ADMINISTRATIVE COURT OF APPEAL HAS APPROVED KINNEVIK'S APPEAL IN TAX DISPUTE

Investment AB Kinnevik (publ) ("Kinnevik") today announced that the Swedish Administrative Court of Appeal has approved Kinnevik's appeal to treat the gain on the sale of the indirectly held shares in Invik in 2007 as tax free.

The Administrative Court of Appeal thereby rejects the Swedish Tax Authorities' claim to apply the Tax Evasion Act on the transaction. The gain on the sale amounted to SEK 822m. As earlier disclosed in Kinnevik's financial reports, the Company has not provided for any potential additional tax as a result of the dispute. Today's decision will thus not have any effect on Kinnevik's financial statements or cash flow.

Kinnevik discloses the information provided herein pursuant to the Securities Market Act (Sw. lagen om värdepappersmarknaden (2007:528)). The information was submitted for publication on 5 December, 2012 at 17.15 (CET).
