MTG has requested that Swedbank AB (publ) (“Swedbank”), acting on behalf of MTG, invites the bondholders of the Bonds to a bondholders’ meeting in accordance with the terms and conditions of MTG’s MTN programme and the Bonds. The purpose of the bondholders’ meeting is for the bondholders of the Bonds to approve a change of issuer of the Bonds from MTG to NENT Group and to amend the terms and conditions of the Bonds for the Bonds to be issued under the contemplated new MTN programme for NENT Group (the “Proposal”).

Each bondholder of Bonds voting in favor of the Proposal by submitting to Swedbank a valid voting form no later than by 16.00 on 14 February 2019 is eligible to receive an early bird fee.
