ÅF is to sell its Finnish subsidiary ÅF-CTS Oy with 130 employees for
4 million euros, which is in line with the company's book value.

The purchasers are the management of ÅF-CTS Oy and the venture
capital company Nordic Mezzanine Ltd.

The sale is part of the strategic re-alignment currently being
undertaken within ÅF's Process Division.

On 1 January 2007 around 70 members of staff were transferred from
ÅF-CTS Oy to ÅF-Enprima Oy. After the sale of ÅF-CTS Oy the ÅF Group
will have a total of approximately 350 employees in Finland.

As the sale requires the approval of a general meeting of
shareholders in AB Ångpanneföreningen, an extraordinary meeting of
shareholders has preliminarily been planned for August. A separate
call to the meeting will be published no later than two weeks prior
to the meeting.
