NOVESTRA: COMMENTS FROM THE AGM: POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT IN DIINO

“Diino has had an exceptional development during the last quarter and has now reached the same daily internet traffic level as Xdrive.com, a competitor that was acquired by AOL in 2005. In spite of this development it will take another year or so before we can conclude if Diino’s relative success has lead to a stable position in its fast growing market segment.

Sweden and Mexico account for the most positive development among new users. This is mainly due to market activities in these countries. USA, Great Britain and India are also represented among the top markets. However, long term, it is likely that markets with a sophisticated user base will be those that generate the highest number of users.” Says Johan Heijbel, CEO of Novestra at today’s AGM.
