Forma to acquire OTW

Hakon Invest's wholly owned subsidiary Forma Publishing Group has
signed an agreement to acquire Of The Wall AB (OTW). The acquisition
strengthens Forma's position in the media industry. Takeover will
take place in the near future.

OTW is a leader in editorial communications in Sweden. Today, the
Group mainly comprises contract operations within customer magazines,
television and PR. Sales in 2006 amounted to SEK 82.4 M, with
operating profit of SEK 14.4 M. The current owners and sellers are
Pär Sundberg, Pär-Ola Jonasson, Anders Abenius and others. Forma
already holds a 12-percent interest in OTW. After the ownership
change, Pär Sundberg will be included in Forma's company management,
with responsibility for the Forma Contract Publishing business area,
in which OTW will be an important element."OTW is a modern, exciting and successful company with which we are
extremely pleased to be able to work closer. We are impressed by the
growth and profitability that its management and employees have
created," says Patrick Wiklund, President of Forma.

After the acquisition of OTW, Forma Contract Publishing will have
sales of about SEK 120 M, with a healthy margin."It is pleasing to add an entrepreneur-driven company such as OTW to
our operations," says Claes-Göran Sylvén, President of Hakon Invest
and Chairman of the Board in Forma Publishing Group. "It is an
exciting company that complements Forma well and further advances our
position on the Nordic media market."

The acquisition is the third in one year by Forma, after the purchase
of B. Wahlströms Bokförlag last year and Damm Förlag at the beginning
of 2007. With the acquired companies, Forma Publishing has sales
exceeding SEK 900 M annually.
