Investor supports combination between NASDAQ and OMX

NASDAQ has announced a public offer to combine NASDAQ and OMX. Investor supports
the combination and has entered into an agreement to accept NASDAQ's offer to
acquire all outstanding shares in OMX.

Investor owns 12,950,507 shares in OMX representing 10.73% of the capital and
votes.

NASDAQ is offering a total consideration of SEK 11.4 billion in cash and 60.6
million new shares in NASDAQ. The offer values OMX at SEK 25.1 billion, or SEK
208* per share.

The offer is designed so that shareholders, for each OMX share held, are being
offered 0.502 shares in NASDAQ and SEK 94.30 in cash.

In case NASDAQ offers a so-called mix and match possibility for all
shareholders, Investor will commit to accept all shares under certain
circumstances. For further information about the transaction, please see
separate press release from NASDAQ and OMX.

Investor's agreement with NASDAQ to accept the offer will lapse in certain
circumstances, including if:
• The offer of NASDAQ not being declared unconditional on or before December 15,
2007, or if declared unconditional not having reached two-thirds acceptance
level, or
• a competing offer is made with a value of at least SEK 220 per share in OMX
prior to the offer of NASDAQ being declared unconditional, or
• the value of the offer from NASDAQ in SEK falls below SEK 190 per share for a
period of 15 consecutive trading days.

“We believe the combination carries a strong industrial logic and is attractive
to the shareholders of OMX. The new NASDAQ OMX Group creates the world's premier
exchange and technology company. The combination will provide significant
benefits for customers and other stakeholders in both companies,” commented
Investor's CEO Börje Ekholm in a statement.

* based on a price on May 23, 2007 of USD 33.19 per share in NASDAQ and a 
USD/SEK rate of SEK 6.843.
