D. Carnegie & Co AB (the 'Company') - listed on Nasdaq Stockholm - announces today that Ulf Nilsson has decided to step down as CEO. Svein Erik Lilleland, currently member of the board of directors, has been appointed as interim CEO.

Ulf has, following discussions with the board of directors, decided to resign as CEO. The decision is based on Ulf's desire to focus on other initiatives. The board has now initiated a process of finding a new CEO for the Company. During this process Svein Erik Lilleland has been appointed as interim CEO. Svein Erik Lilleland joined the board of the Company in October 2016 and has since then been closely involved with the Company senior management. Ulf will remain with the Company for a transition period to ensure an orderly hand-over, the specific length of which is yet to be decided.

Comment by James Seppala, chairman of the board:

'We thank Ulf very much for his many successful years with the Company and wish him the best of luck going forward. Ulf has decided that he wishes to focus his time on other projects. We are confident that Svein Erik, supported by D. Carnegie & Co's existing senior management team, will continue to execute the business plan and maximise value for the D. Carnegie & Co shareholders in the interim period as the process for identifying a new CEO is initiated. '
