Proposed distribution of earnings<br />

The <strong>Scania</strong> Group’s unrestricted shareholders’ equity according<br />

to the consolidated balance sheet amounts to SEK 16,145<br />

m., of which the net income for the year is SEK 4,077 m.<br />

The decision on the dividend should take into account the<br />

development in February 2005 in the Ainax transaction that<br />

will affect the unrestricted shareholders’ equity. In conjunction<br />

with the acquisition of Ainax with newly issued shares, share<br />

capital rose by SEK 263 m. and the share premium reserve by<br />

SEK 7,560 m., together increasing restricted equity by SEK<br />

7,823 m. This corresponds to the market value of the newly<br />

issued <strong>Scania</strong> shares on the acquisition date. The assets of<br />

Ainax mainly consist of shares in <strong>Scania</strong>, and it follows from<br />

Chapter 4 Paragraph 14 Section 2 of the Annual Accounts Act<br />

that Ainax’s shares in <strong>Scania</strong> shall not be regarded as having<br />

any value in <strong>Scania</strong>’s financial statements. Taking this into consideration,<br />

the shares in Ainax received as capital contributed<br />

in kind were <strong>report</strong>ed at a value of SEK 82 m. in <strong>Scania</strong>’s balance<br />

sheet. After the acquisition of Ainax in February 2005 the<br />

difference, SEK 7,741 m., thus reduced the unrestricted equity<br />

in both the Parent Company and the Group. This fact has been<br />

taken into consideration in the following proposed distribution<br />

of earnings.<br />

The Board of Directors and the President propose that the<br />

following amounts at the disposal of the Annual Meeting as per<br />

31 December <strong>2004</strong>:<br />

Amounts in SEK m.<br />

Retained earnings 7,254<br />

Net income for the year 4,059<br />

Total 11,313<br />

be distributed as follows:<br />

To the shareholders, a dividend of SEK 15.00<br />

per share 3,394<br />

To be carried forward 7,919<br />

Total 11,313<br />

After implementing the proposed distribution of earnings,<br />

the shareholders’ equity of the Parent Company is as follows:<br />

Amounts in SEK m.<br />

Share capital 2,000<br />

Statutory reserve 1,120<br />

Retained earnings 7,919<br />

Total 11,039<br />

Later in February 2005, retained earnings were decreased by<br />

SEK 7,741 m. A proposal on a reduction of the share premium<br />

reserve for transfer to retained earnings is being submitted to<br />

the Annual General Meeting on 29 April 2005. If this proposal<br />

is implemented, the available retained earnings at the end of<br />

2005 are expected to have been restored to the same level as<br />

at the end of <strong>2004</strong>.<br />
