Wallenberg foundation transfers 29 pct voting stake in SKF - UPDATE
(Update clarifying the stakes were transferred, not sold)

STOCKHOLM (Thomson Financial) - Knut och Alice Wallebergs Stiftelse's entire 10.1 pct capital stake and 29.1 pct voting stake in SKF AB (Nachrichten), has been transferred to another Wallenberg entity Foundation Asset Management (FAM), as part of a new organisation and management of the Wallenberg foundations.

FAM was established in order for Knut och Alice Wallenbergs Stiftelse, Marianne och Marcus Wallenbergs Stiftelse and Stiftelsen Marcus och Amalia Wallenbergs Minnesfond, to coordinate the administration of their asset and increase effectiveness.

The foundation's assets currently amount to about 58 bln skr, and an initial 21 bln skr is being transferred to FAM, comprised partly by the foundations' stakes in SKF and Stora Enso.

'In the long term the ambition is that the foundations' other stakes in Saab AB, Scania AB, and SAS AB, amounting to around 10 bln skr, be transferred to FAM. Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB will continue to be directly owned by the foundations, but be managed though an advisory agreement with FAM,' FAM's chief executive Lars Wedenborn said.

This morning a SFA filing showed that the KA Wallenberg foundation had disposed of its stake in its entirety.

The Wallenbergs are Sweden's most powerful business dynasty.

SKF to Build Factory in Russia for Railway Bearings
Regulatory News:

SKF (News) (Pink Sheets:SKFRY)(STO:SKFA)(STO:SKFB)(LSE:SKFB) has decided to build a factory in Russia for taper bearing units to supply to the fast growing Russian railway market.

This new investment will further strengthen SKF's position as world leader in the railway industry.

The construction of the new factory will start in September 2008 and will be in operations by April 2010. The factory will also have a channel dedicated to reconditioning of bearings.

The Group's investment amounts to around SEK 235 million and the number of employees will be about 150.

The final site for the new factory is not yet decided, but is expected to be in the vicinity of Moscow.

The Russian railways, RZD, is rebuilding its rail transport system, both infrastructure and rolling stock, and is now the world's largest investor in rail transport, both in rolling stock and with a 25% network expansion.

Russia is now in a technology transition phase introducing taper bearing units to replace cylindrical roller bearings and axlebox designs. This shift to pre-lubricated taper bearing units is driven by an objective to obtain longer maintenance intervals and lower life cycle costs. SKF has a leading position in supplying taper bearing units to the railway industry all over the world and intends to get an important part of the Russian market.

SKF: SKF's Acquisition of Leading Magnetic Bearing Company Now Closed
SKF (Pink Sheets:SKFR) (STO:SKFA) (STO:SKFB) (LSE:SKFB) acquisition of S2M, a leading company in magnetic bearings, has now been closed. SKF (News) had already earlier 12% of the share capital in S2M.

S2M has annual sales of around EUR 40 million and 200 employees. The company is headquartered in Vernon, France, where it also has its manufacturing facilities. SKF pays around EUR 55 million for the shares.

- We are now into the technologies of tomorrow and that is very exciting, says Tom Johnstone, President and CEO of SKF. We already have a smaller company in Canada dedicated to the manufacture of magnetic bearings, SKF Magnetic Bearings. This new company is very complementary both geographically and from a product range point of view for SKF. With this acquisition the range of magnetic bearings is substantially broadened. It is also important to remember that the magnetic bearing business is complementary to the SKF rolling bearing product range.

Magnetic bearings can replace hydrodynamic bearings which are bearings used in large and heavy applications that are energy intensive. The magnetic bearings will substantially reduce the energy consumption in those applications and thus contribute to the Group's sustainability efforts and focus.

- This new technology is a very interesting and fast developing technology that during the last years has grown out of its development phase, continues Mr Johnstone. Magnetic bearings are now considered a reliable alternative for a number of growing application areas. Main end customer segments are vacuum pumps, small air and gas compressors. turboexpanders, and compressors mainly for oil and gas industry.

- With this acquisition we clearly strengthen our position in the bearing world and are able to offer our customers a broader product range in a fast growing market, Mr Johnstone says.

S2M will be part of SKF's Industrial Division and will be included as from 2008 in the Group's consolidated income statement.

AB SKF may be required to disclose the information provided herein according to the Securities Markets Act and/or the Financial Instruments Trading Act. The information was submitted for publication at 10.30 am on 21 December 2007.
