On December 5, 2011 Jubii Europe N.V. released an ad-hoc announcement in the context of the lawsuit of its Swedish subsidiary against the TeliaSonera. In another lawsuit by the Swedish Competition Authority based on similar facts, a fine was imposed on the company by the Stockholm District Court in the amount of SEK 144 million. The company appealed the fine before the appellate Market Court. Recently, the Market Court found that the company had abused its dominant position through margin squeeze; however for a shorter period of time and the fine was lowered to SEK 35 million. Jubii's subsidiary will pursue its claim against the company. Although the fact pattern of the Market Court decision is similar, the impact of that judgment on the lawsuit of Jubii's subsidiary, which is currently claiming damages of approximately EUR 45 million plus interest, cannot conclusively be assessed and there can be no assurance that it would prevail in court proceedings and obtain a money verdict in its favour.
