Össur acquires TeamOlmed in Sweden

Össur  has today signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of TeamOlmed,
a  leading Swedish orthotic  and prosthetic (O&P)  provider, for SEK 310 million
(USD  47 million). Additional payments  of up to  SEK 50 million (USD 7 million)
depend  on TeamOlmed meeting certain revenue  and profitability targets in 2013
and 2014.

Össur  has  a  long  standing  business  relationship  with  TeamOlmed. With the
acquisition,  Össur gains a  significant share of  the Swedish O&P market. Össur
and TeamOlmed together will be a strong partner for county councils, prescribers
and patients offering innovative, cost effective and clinically proven solutions
in Sweden.

TeamOlmed  was created in 2011 through the  merger of Olmed Ortopediska (founded
in 1984) and Team Ortopedteknik (founded in 1994). TeamOlmed is Sweden's largest
provider  of O&P solutions to patients with impaired mobility. The vast majority
of  sales are through contracts with county  councils in Sweden. The company has
over  300 employees in patient care centers in Stockholm, Jönköping, Uppsala and
several  other locations around  Sweden. Total revenues  in 2012 amounted to SEK
348 million  (USD 52 million) with an adjusted  EBITDA of SEK 43 million (USD 6
million),  which is expected to be the full year impact to Össur financials once
fully  consolidated. Total assets of TeamOlmed  amounted to SEK 419 million (USD
63 million) at end of year 2012.

The  purchase  price  is  paid  in  full  in  cash and financed through existing
financing  facilities.  The  acquisition  is  subject to approval from Stockholm
County Council and is expected to close in Q3 2013.

Jon Sigurðsson, President & CEO:"We  are  excited  to  partner  with  TeamOlmed  and  its employees. TeamOlmed's
expertise   and   commitment   in  providing  excellent  patient  care  is  very
complimentary  to Össur. This  acquisition is an  important milestone for Össur,
strengthening our position in an increasingly consolidated Swedish market."
