BELGIUM/SWEDEN - EQT sells deSter to Gate Gourmet

EQT, through its funds EQT I and EQT III, has agreed to sell deSter Holdings B.V. to Gate Gourmet, a provider of airline catering and provisioning services. EQT-owned Duni AB, headquartered in Sweden, acquired deSter in 1999 and since then has substantially restructured and reshaped the business and developed its positions within the in-flight equipment and in-flight catering industry. During the first quarter of 2007, Duni sold the shares in deSter Holdings B.V. to a newly established holding entity, wholly owned by EQT.
