Date 24/06/2004

The Swedish investment firm Hagströmer & Qviberg Fondkommission AB will start direct trading in shares on Oslo Børs from Monday 28 June. This brings the number of investment firms with remote membership of Oslo Børs to 16 out of a total of 40 members.

By becoming a member firm of Oslo Børs, Hagströmer & Qviberg will strengthen its focus on the Norwegian market. The firm is already a member of two NOREX exchanges, Stockholmsbörsen and HEX Helsinki, and will shortly also become a member of the Copenhagen Stock Exchange.

"We are delighted to welcome Hagströmer & Qviberg as a member of Oslo Børs. An increased number of foreign member firms creates a larger network of investors, and this in turn helps to create greater liquidity in the Norwegian market", comments Sven Arild Andersen, President and CEO of Oslo Børs.
