Acquisition of shares in Mini Entreprenad AB:
   
     
Infratek Sverige AB entered into an agreement on 1 July 2011 concerning the acquisition of 70 per cent of the shares in the Swedish company Mini Entreprenad AB. As part of the acquisition, there exists both a sales option and a purchase option related to the remaining 30 per cent of shares in the company, which fall due in 2015. On the basis of existing options and because Infratek does not have full control over the extent to which non- controlling interest shall be maintained in the future, the purchase is pursuant to IFRS considered as a purchase of 100 per cent of the shares, however with an obligation to pay for the remaining 30 per cent of shares when the option falls due in 2015.
     
In accounting terms, the acquisition of Mini Entreprenad AB has accordingly been treated as a 100 per cent owned subsidiary without non- controlling interest. At the same time, the Group has estimated a future purchase amount concerning the remaining 30 per cent of the shares. At the time of the acquisition, this obligation was estimated at approximately SEK 2,8 million in 2015, which is equivalent to approximately SEK 2,4 million when discounted. This obligation is estimated on the basis of pricing mechanisms set forth in the option agreements and the estimate will be followed up quarterly. Any changes in the estimated purchase obligation will be recognised in the profit and loss account for the Group under financial items.
