The news agency Bloomberg has today sent out a release where they say that Norske Skog has decided to reduce the dividend for 2007. This is not correct, as the Board not yet has discussed this topic.

 

In accordance with normal practice, Norske Skog will inform the market about the Board's dividend proposal through a stock exchange release.
