Proposal for the Election of Board Members in D. Carnegie & Co AB.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- The nomination committee today announces its proposal for the election of Board members and chairman of the Board in Carnegie at the AGM 23 March 2006. The nomination committee in D. Carnegie & Co AB (Carnegie) consists of Kjartan Gunnarsson, vice chairman Landsbanki, chairman, Mats Lagerqvist, Robur, Mikael Nordberg, Danske Capital, and Lars Bertmar, Chairman of the Board of D. Carnegie & Co AB. As previously announced, Henrik Didner, representing Didner & Gerge Fonder AB, has resigned from the nomination committee.

The nomination committee has had five formal meetings. The work has included a formal evaluation of the work of the Board as well as contacts with Carnegie's major shareholders.

The nomination committee has been informed that all present members of the Board, apart from Lars Bertmar, chairman of D. Carnegie & Co AB, and Thor Bjorgolfsson, representing Carnegie's main shareholder Landsbanki Islands, will be available for re-election.

Carnegie's Board of Directors should consist of not less than five and not more than nine members. The nomination committee's aim has been to establish a Board of Directors reflecting different areas of expertise, the market position and the different cultures represented in an international investment bank in the Nordic region. Important parameters have been competence, experience, time available and dedication. The proposed Board of Carnegie includes representatives from five different nationalities. The Board members have extensive industrial and financial backgrounds from the Nordic region and internationally, as well as expertise from the global financial services industry and the regulatory environment in the EU. All members, except the CEO, are non-executive.

The Nomination committee proposes that the Board of Carnegie consists of 8 (9) members. The committee proposes re-election of the following Board Members: Christer Zetterberg, Anders Ljungh, Fields Wicker-Miurin, Karin Forseke, Hugo Andersen, Niclas Gabran and Dag Sehlin. The nomination committee proposes election of Kjartan Gunnarsson as new Board member. The committee also proposes that Christer Zetterberg is appointed Chairman of the Board of Carnegie.
