We are now approaching the Christmastrading period which is the most important time of the year for manyof our holdings. It is gratifying that ICA continues to develop well.ICA Sweden's price campaigns and cost-cutting measures have had apositive impact. ICA Norway's continued reprofiling of the Rimistores is proceeding according to plan, and Rimi Baltic continues tocapture market shares in a generally weak market", said Claes-GöranSylvén."Taken as a whole my assessment is that the Group and our portfoliocompanies are well equipped ahead of the important year-end seasonbut still with respect for a difficult market climate. I feel acautious optimism about the market but without counting on too much",Claes-Göran Sylvén continues.Press and analyst meetingAt 10.30 CET on Wednesday, November 4, 2009, Hakon Invest will hold apress and analyst meeting in Salén Konferens at Norrlandsgatan 15 inStockholm.
