ELEKTA'S SHARE REDEMPTION PROGRAM CONCLUDED
On November 11, 2003, the acceptance period for Elekta's offer for
redemption of shares expired.
The offer involved redemption of every seventeenth share held in Elekta
at a price of SEK 165 per share.
Based on the final count, 1,887,713 shares were tendered for redemption,
corresponding to 97.4 percent of the maximum number of shares that could
be redeemed in accordance with the offer. Approx. SEK 311.5 million will
thus be transferred to Elekta's shareholders.
Payment of the redemption amount is expected to be made at the end of
March 2004. This is caused by the fact that under Swedish law, when a
company decides to redeem shares by reducing the share capital, the
decision may not be effected without the permission of a Swedish court.
It is estimated that the court's permission will be obtained within 3-4
months from the end of the application period and that payment of the
redemption proceeds will occur as soon as reasonably practicable after
the court's permission has gained legal force.
