STOCKMARKET CAPITALIZATION AT 31/12/07: €2,103 MILLION<br />

The <strong>SEB</strong> share performed well on <strong>the</strong> stockmarket in 2007, out-pacing <strong>the</strong> market index throughout <strong>the</strong> year.<br />

It maintained an average rate of €129.28, reaching a 10-year high of €144.45 on 22 May. The Group’s excellent trading<br />

and strong news interest – particularly its imminent acquisition in China, completed at <strong>the</strong> end of December – largely<br />

explain this good performance. The capital rotation rate of nearly 64% substantially exceeded <strong>the</strong> average of recent<br />

years, reflecting keen investor interest in <strong>the</strong> share during 2007. At <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> year and at <strong>the</strong> beginning of 2008<br />

agitation in world financial markets pushed down prices of o<strong>the</strong>rwise high-performing mid-range stocks, which also<br />

affected <strong>the</strong> <strong>SEB</strong> share. Substantial profit-taking during this period led to a sharp drop in <strong>the</strong> share price. However, after<br />

dipping below <strong>the</strong> €100 mark, <strong>the</strong> share began to recover at <strong>the</strong> end of January following publication of <strong>the</strong> 2007<br />

financial results.<br />
