SEB: Information due to conclusion by the Supre...

SEB has today received information of a conclusion by the Swiss Supreme Court according to which SEB's right to refund withholding tax dating back to the years 2006-2008 would be revoked. The Supreme Court has thus reversed a lower court ruling to refund the claim mentioned in Note 30 of the Annual Report 2014 and in previous years.

The amount totals approximately CHF 100m and will negatively impact the Group's income statement in the second quarter. Further information will be given following the Supreme Court's full decision expected to be published later in the second quarter.

For further information, please contact Viveka Hirdman-Ryrberg, Head of Group Communications [phone] [e-mail] Jonas Söderberg, Head of Investor Relations [phone] [e-mail]
