Nordstjernan makes mandatory tender offer for all outstanding shares and options
in Salcomp                                                                      

Nordstjernan AB (“Nordstjernan”) has on August 16, 2007 exercised the option    
included in the agreement entered into on June 25, 2007 with EQT II B.V. on the 
Salcomp Plc (“Salcomp”) shares. The consummation of the sale and purchase of the
shares was conditional on the approval of the relevant competition authorities. 
Relevant approval was received on September 7, 2007 and the sale and purchase of
the shares was thereafter consummated on September 12, 2007. Following the      
acquisition, Nordstjernan holds 20,382,131 shares in Salcomp, which corresponds 
to 52.3 per cent of all shares and votes in Salcomp.                            

Accordingly, Nordstjernan has today become obligated, under the Finnish

for all of the remaining shares and securities entitling to shares issued by

Nordstjernan intends to make and publish the formal mandatory public tender     
offer within short time. The offer price for shares is, as announced earlier,   
the highest price for which Nordstjernan has acquired shares in Salcomp, i.e. € 
4.01 per share.
