The opening balance comprises the reserve of SEK 10 m for the integration of OM and HEX, and provisions for expenses for unutilized premises of SEK 118 m. The integration reserve was utilized during the year in the amount of SEK 10 m and has thereby been utilized in its entirety. The provision for premises was utilized in the amount of SEK 39 m including exchange-rate effects.

The provision for expenses for unutilized premises is based on management’s assumptions and assessments and is associated with a certain degree of uncertainty. These expenses refer primarily to OMX’s offices in London and New York. The provision was established in 2004 as a result of the reduction in personnel associated with the focus on cost-savings and efficiency-enhancement measures in the operations which OMX has worked with in recent years, and a decline in market conditions for the lease of premises, leading to certain areas being leased at a lower rent than OMX’s lease conditions. See Note 12 regarding the cash-flow dates. For leasing contracts invoicing sub-lets, a reserve has been established for known losses for five years in the future. The leasing contract will expire during the period 2009-2015.
