Investment AB Kinnevik (publ) ("Kinnevik") today announced that its Board of Directors has resolved to propose an extraordinary cash distribution of SEK 18 per share to the Annual General Meeting to be held on 23 May 2016, equivalent to approximately SEK 5bn in aggregate, to be executed through a mandatory share redemption program.

Following the significant and successful exits of the last six months, the Kinnevik Board of Directors has evaluated its capital structure and concluded to recommend the Annual General Meeting to resolve upon an extraordinary cash distribution of SEK 18 per share to Kinnevik's shareholders, equivalent to approximately SEK 5bn in aggregate, by way of a mandatory share redemption program.
