Press release; Mar 26, 2012 8:00 AM CET

Annual General Meeting of Swedish Match AB (publ)

The shareholders of Swedish Match AB are hereby notified of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Wednesday, 2 May, 2012 at 16.30 (CET) at Hotel Rival, Mariatorget 3, Stockholm, Sweden.

The Board of Directors proposes an increased dividend to 6.50 SEK per share. The proposed record date for entitlement to receive a cash dividend is 7 May, 2012.

The Board of Directors proposes that it be authorized to decide on the acquisition, on one or more occasions prior to the next Annual General Meeting, of a maximum of as many shares as may be acquired without the Company’s holding at any time exceeding 10 percent of all shares in the Company.

In addition the Board will also propose a reduction of the Company’s share capital of 12,800,976.15 SEK through withdrawal of 7,000,000 previously repurchased shares held in treasury, with a simultaneous bonus issue without issuing new shares, of the corresponding amount to restore the share capital. Furthermore, the Board will propose that the reduction be allocated to fund for use in repurchasing the Company’s own shares.

The Nominating Committee of Swedish Match AB proposes re-election of Andrew Cripps, Karen Guerra, Conny Karlsson, Robert F. Sharpe, Meg Tivéus and Joakim Westh. Conny Karlsson is proposed to be re-elected as Chairman of the Board and Andrew Cripps is proposed to be re-elected as Deputy Chairman of the Board.
