      Ann-Charlotte Dahlstrom - Global Head of Human Resources at SEB

Ann-Charlotte Dahlstrom has been appointed Global Head of Human Resources at
SEB. She is 47 years of age and has been Head of Human Resources at Ericsson's
Network Operators and Service Providers. The new appointment begins in May and
Ann-Charlotte Dahlstrom will become a member of SEB's Executive Committee.

"At SEB we find ourselves in the midst of a break between the old and new
economy. We are focusing on the new economy - with Internet at its centre. At
the same time many of the traditional aspects are worth taking care of. This
period of change where we are clearly on the way to becoming a 'knowledge
company' that increasingly transfers know-how to its customers, places still
greater demands upon development of competence and leadership. That's why it
feels important to place clearer focus upon these questions and raise them to
the highest level," says Lars H Thunell, President and CEO of SEB.

Ann-Charlotte Dahlstrom has been head of human resources within various sections
of the Ericsson group during the last six years. She has been working for
Ericsson since 1985. Prior to that, Ann-Charlotte Dahlstrom worked in various
capacities for Stockholm's County Council. She has a degree in philosophy from
Stockholm University.

Lennart Lockne, who is stepping down from the post of Global Head of Human
Resources at his own request, will continue to work in the capacity of advisor
within the personnel area until his retirement in the year 2001.
