Therefore, the Merger Plan established pursuant to article 261 of the Luxembourg Company Law and sections 37-39, Chapter 23 of the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551), was adopted by the board of directors of the Company and Transcom WW AB on 21 July 2014.

The Company shall, until the Merger Plan has been finally registered, continue to book business transactions involving the Company in its accounting books. As from the final registration of the Merger, all transactions will be booked in the accounting books of Transcom WW AB. ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the fact THAT, AS A RESULT OF THE MERGER, THE COMPANY WILL CEASE TO EXIST BY DISSOLUTION WITHOUT LIQUIDATION (EGM item 5) In accordance with article 259 of the Luxembourg Company Law and section 36 and 49, Chapter 23 of the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551), the Company will cease to exist by dissolution without liquidation as a result of the Merger.
