They have as a result thereof today through Schörling & Partners AB ("Schörling & Partners") announced an unconditional public cash offer to the shareholders of MSAB to tender all their shares in MSAB to Schörling & Partners (the "Offer"). According to the offer release, the decision is a consequence of an altered situation in MSAB since Melker Schörling left his operational position in the Company. Schörling & Partners is jointly owned by the holding company of the Schörling family Melker Schörling Tjänste AB, Stefan Persson, UIE Malta Holding Ltd. (a wholly owned subsidiary of United International Enterprises Ltd. controlled by Carl and Martin Bek-Nielsen) and Mikael Ekdahl AB. Schörling & Partners holds approximately 92.6 per cent of the shares and votes in MSAB. Schörling & Partners offers SEK 569 in cash per share in MSAB (the "Offer Price"). The Offer Price exceeds the net asset value in MSAB as of 13 November 2017, SEK 568, and corresponds to the volume-weighted average purchase price for the MSAB share on Nasdaq Stockholm during the last 20 trading days prior to the announcement of the Offer. The total Offer Price amounts to approximately SEK 5,005 million, and the Offer represents a value of MSAB of approximately SEK 67,767 million. The Offer Price represents a premium of:

• approximately 5.1 per cent compared to the volume-weighted average purchase price of SEK 541.3 for the MSAB share on Nasdaq Stockholm during the last 90 trading days prior to the announcement of the Offer; and
• approximately 3.9 per cent compared to the closing price of SEK 547.5 for the MSAB share on Nasdaq Stockholm on 13 November 2017, which was the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Offer.

The acceptance period for the Offer is expected to run from and including 16 November 2017 up to and including 14 December 2017. The Offer is not subject to any condition for its completion, and payment of the Offer consideration to those who have accepted the Offer will take place on a weekly basis during the acceptance period, with estimated first payment on 24 November 2017.
