Statement by the CEO

An eventful first year

“2012 was not only my first year as CEO of Klövern, but also an unusually eventful year for the company. It has been a year of growth and geographical expansion. The tempo has been high and acquisitions frequent, which has had an impact on shareholders, financiers, analysts, the media and not least our personnel. During the year, we have made net acquisitions of properties for almost SEK 7 billion.

Klövern will continue to focus on geographic concentration in combination with growth on prioritised locations in 2013. We will continue to make property management more efficient and diversify our client base further. Last year was to a large extent characterized by integration of Dagon and the other acquisitions made. In 2013, we will make an effort to benefit from our acquisitions and increase profitability “, says Klöverns CEO Rutger Arnhult
