2008-02-14 11:00:00 CET 2008-02-14 11:00:00 CET REGULATED INFORMATION Sampo - Company AnnouncementSAMPO GROUP TO STANDARDISE REPORTING OF ITS INVESTMENTSSAMPO PLC STOCK EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT 14 February,2008 at 12.00 SAMPO GROUP TO STANDARDISE REPORTING OF ITS INVESTMENTS Changes in the market values of Sampo Group's investments have been reported differently in reporting segments. In the Life Insurance and Holding segments, investments have been recognised at fair value in balance sheet equity. In the P&C Insurance segment, changes in market values have been recognised through profit and loss. As these differences in reporting practices complicate assessment of the Group's performance, Sampo has decided to provide more transparency by standardising its reporting. Therefore, changes in the market values of the investments of the P&C Insurance segment will in the future be reported in the same way as in the other segments. Thus the financial assets of the P&C Insurance segment will be classified as available-for-sale (AFS) assets, rather than as assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, as was the previous practice. Therefore, on 14 February 2008, If Skadeförsäkring Ab (publ) will first sell and then buy back the following shares: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Share | Amount | Counterparty: | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | AKER FLOATING PROD | 1,010,000 | Fondsfinans | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | BALLINGSLOV | 1,326,050 | Swedbank | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | BE GROUP | 2,492,400 | Swedbank | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | CARDO | 2,999,000 | Swedbank | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | CLAS OHLSON B | 2,321,529 | Swedbank | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | CTT SYSTEMS | 511,200 | Swedbank | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | EQUINOX OFFSHORE | 2,510,000 | Fondsfinans | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | GUNNEBO | 4,821,700 | Swedbank | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | GUNNEBO INDUSTRIER | 1,088,720 | Swedbank | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | HOGANAS B | 3,034,500 | Swedbank | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | HUSQVARNA A | 1,202,600 | Swedbank | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | HUSQVARNA B | 2,207,400 | Swedbank | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | LINDAB | 1,958,042 | Swedbank | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | NEDERMAN | 1,125,300 | Swedbank | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | NOBIA | 14,693,350 | Swedbank | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | NOLATO B | 1,142,800 | Swedbank | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | SECTRA B | 4,394,300 | Swedbank | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | SVEDBERGS B | 2,314,600 | Swedbank | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | TTS MARINE | 1,468,200 | Fondsfinans | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | VEIDEKKE | 11,649,680 | Fondsfinans | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The transactions will be executed at the closing prices of the transaction date.
