Ainax

The acceptance period for the Scania AB (publ)("Scania") offer to the shareholders of Ainax AB ("Ainax") ended on 15 February. In total, 26,296,508 shares have been submitted, representing approximately 96.3% of the capital and votes of Ainax.

The offer has been accepted by shareholders representing more than 50% of the total number of shares and votes of Ainax, which was one of the conditions for the offer. Scania has therefore decided to complete the offer and to waive other conditions. Settlement of the consideration in the form of newly issued Scania shares will occur around 1 March 2005.

A decision regarding the liquidation of Ainax is planned for February 2006, to be effected later in the year.
