Group executives buy warrants

Members of Meda’s new executive management team bought a total of 1,625,000 warrants in Meda. This team was formed after the Viatris acquisition. Each warrant entitles the right to subscribe for one new share in the company at SEK 150 per share – as per the extraordinary general meeting decision in October 2005. The subscription period runs from 27 February 2006 to 26 February 2008. Going forward, additional key persons in the new Group will get opportunities to participate in the warrants programme. The executive management team consists of Anders Lönner (Chief Executive Officer), Jörg-Thomas Dierks (Chief Operating Officer), Anders Larnholt (Vice President Business Development & Investor Relations), Wilhelm Plumpe (Vice President Group Services), Henrik Stenqvist (Chief Financial officer), and Mårten Österlund (Vice President of Scientific Affairs).
