ÅF acquires 100 percent of the shares in ES-Konsult Energi och Säkerhet AB with

International nuclear industry in the areas of Safety analysis, Safety analysis
reports, Human factors, Education and Project management. Major customers
include Vattenfall, OKG, SKB (Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB), SSM

experts are engaged in ES and the company has offices in Stockholm and
Gothenburg. Revenues during 2013 amounted to approximately 70 MSEK with good
profit.

Prior to the acquisition, ÅF has approximately 500 consultants and experts
engaged in the nuclear industry in Sweden and internationally. ÅF and ES have
had successful cooperations throughout the years; e.g. in projects at Ringhals,
within ÅF Nuclear Academy, and in a project regarding new nuclear power in
Brazil.

"The experts within ES have unique competences within for example Nuclear
Safety, long-term experience within the nuclear industry and are highly regarded
by the customers" comments Per Magnusson, President Industry Division. "As a
consequence of the merger with ES we will complement our offering and further
strengthen our competence in areas such as decommissioning."
