Consequently these shareholders (the Consortium) are now under an obligation to
make a mandatory takeover offer within 4 weeks according to Article 32 of the
Act Number 33/2003 on Securities Transactions. 

The Offer will amount to ISK 4.6 per share which is the last price paid for the
shares on ICEX before the shareholders' agreement was entered into. The
Company's Board of Directors has proposed that the company will pay 30% of the
company's share capital in dividends. The Offer will be made after the general
meeting that will be held on 4 May 2007. If the proposal is accepted, then the
offer will consequently correspond to ISK 4.9 per share. 

Pursuant to the shareholders' agreement, the Consortium will propose to the
board to apply to ICEX for a delisting of the Company's shares. 

Kaupthing Bank will advise the aforementioned shareholders and arrange the
Takeover Offer.
