Dear chirodoc: I have forgotten, but that information is in their annual report. Broken down by country and I think by private vs institutional. My recollection is 55% in USA but not sure. JDN

Good morning, chirodoc. As it so happens, I just received my 1999 annual report a few days ago. On page 4 it says: "In all, about 90 percent of Ericsson's shares are owned by Swedish and international institutions." By voting rights the two largest are AB Industrivardenn, 28%, 46,520,000 shares, and Investor AB, 22.3%, 68,376,700 shares. Evidently, different categories of shares carry different voting rights. Your annual report should be in the mail, if you haven't received it yet. Good luck.

<<...what % of ERICY stock is owned by american vs. european vs. asian, etc. investors.>> From the 1999 annual report: About 90% of Ericsson"s shares are owned by Swedish and international institutions. At the end of 1999 the portion of share owners outside Sweden was about 55% (33% in USA, 6% in Great Britain, 4% in Germany, and 12% i other countries). The percentage of votes for the owners outside Sweden is only 2% though. <<btw i have heard (not read) that nok is PRIMARILY a cell phone manufacturer and SECONDARILY infrastructure. with ericy i hear it is the opposite.>> I guess what you heard is rather correct, although Ericsson"s phone manufacturing part is probably relatively a little more important to Ericsson, than Nokia"s non-mobile phone manufacturing is for Nokia. But someone else may know more about this. Best, Joar
