Bong announces the sale of three properties for in total 130 MSEK to
Nordisk Renting AB. The properties located in Kristianstad and Nybro,
Sweden comprise approx. 55.000 m2 and houses, among others, Bong's
corporate head quarter. The deal generates a capital gain of approx. 25
MSEK.

Bong is a rapidly growing international envelope company and the growth is
mainly generated by acquisitions. The sale of the properties in question
is a part of the financing of this expansion. Bong has signed a long term
rental agreement with Nordisk Renting and intends to continue its
operations unchanged in the properties.

Nordisk Renting is one of Scandinavia's leading real estate companies with
a unique focus on long term and strategic property co-operations with
financially strong companies and public partners.

Bong is today Europe's leading envelope manufacturer. The Bong Group has
revenues of some SEK 2.5 billion, approximately 1,800 employees and an
annual production of some 15 billion envelopes at its factories in Sweden,
Denmark, Norway, Finland, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Belgium, Poland
and Estonia. Bong has played an active part in the current process of
restructuring in the European envelope industry and sees useful potential
for further expansion.
