Explorer has repurchased a total of 1,141,969 shares at an average price of SEK

owned by the Company, amount to 34,851,675.
Mia Jurke, CEO East Capital Explorer, says: "The board decided in September to
utilize the mandate for repurchase of shares given by the AGM in 2011 on the
back of an increase of the share discount on NAV. In total, 3.3% of the
outstanding shares have been repurchased during the program. We are convinced
that the long term value for our shareholders will be provided by our
investments, but the share buybacks has been a way to increase the value for our
shareholders in the short term."
The Board of East Capital Explorer has proposed to the AGM 2012 on 25 April to
cancel the shares that have been repurchased under the existing authorization.
The Board has also proposed for the AGM 2012 to resolve on a new authorization
for the Board to repurchase the Company's own shares that may be utilized until
the AGM 2013.
