ANNOUNCEMENT







A.P. Møller - Mærsk A/S - Completion of the sale of Netto Foodstores Limited







On 27 May 2010 A.P. Møller - Mærsk A/S announced Dansk Supermarked A/S'
agreement to sell 100% of the share capital of Netto Foodstores Limited to Asda
Stores Limited. 



The agreement was subject to regulatory approval from the UK competition
authorities. This condition has now been fulfilled. Accordingly, Dansk
Supermarked A/S has today completed the sale of 100% of the share capital of
Netto Foodstores Limited to Asda Stores Limited. 



The sale of Netto Foodstores Limited generates an accounting gain for the A.P.
Moller - Maersk Group of DKK 4.3 billion. The accounting gain is DKK 0.3
billion less than announced on 27 May 2010 due to divestment by Asda Stores
Limited of 47 stores agreed with the Office of Fair Trading as a condition for
regulatory approval of the transaction. In addition, accumulated exchange rate
losses of DKK 0.5 billion previously recorded on equity will be recorded in the
income statement. The net effect on the income statement for the A.P. Moller -
Maersk Group in second quarter 2011 will thus be DKK 3.8 billion and the change
in equity DKK 4.3 billion.
