Lite-On has received irrevocable commitments to tender shares held by
Oy G.W. Sohlberg Ab (GWS), in total representing 29.14% of the votes
and share capital of Perlos.

Rationale of the proposed deal

Perlos is the world's largest supplier of mobile-phone casings with a
16% market share in 2006. It specializes in plastic tooling and
surface treatment, and has also been strengthening capabilities in
light metal. In addition to handset casing, Perlos has successfully
expanded its product portfolio and diversified into other handset
components and services, such as antenna and sub-assembly services.

In addition to a solid technology and product portfolio, Perlos has
established manufacturing presence in Mexico, Brazil, Hungary, China
and India. Not only is Perlos capable of facilitating global
logistics for its customers, its strong and growing exposure in
emerging markets also provides great support for customers that are
aggressively making inroads into fast-growing new markets.

- Starting from 2007, Lite-On has launched its "Customer-Centric"
growth strategy where Lite-On provides "one-stop-shopping" solutions
to customers via its wide range of component offerings. The
acquisition of Perlos will equip Lite-On with mechanical capabilities
in addition to its electronic component power, says David Lin, CEO of
Lite-On Group.

Lite-On currently provides phone camera modules, LED, LED
flashlights, keypad, GPS, and various types of sensors for its
handset customers. Perlos will complete the product portfolio by
adding casing, antenna and sub-assembly for modules. The combination
of Lite-On and Perlos will significantly strengthen the handset
component cluster capabilities of the combined group to provide more
products and better services to handset customers.

- This is truly an exciting opportunity. The extensive technology
portfolio of Lite-On combined with Perlos' outstanding capabilities
in handset mechanics would immediately bring benefits to our
customers. In addition, the profound experience of Lite-On and its
financial resources would enable further development of the value
offering, says Matti Virtanen, CEO and President of Perlos.

In addition to synergies in product offerings, Lite-On and Perlos
complement each other well in many other aspects. Perlos'
comprehensive global manufacturing platform, including the Americas,
Europe, and Asia, coupled with Lite-On's strong relationships in the
Taiwan/China handset supply chain will benefit both companies. It
will also open up new cross-selling opportunities given the limited
overlap in the customer mix. The combination will see immediate
synergies and is expected to achieve greater presence of the combined
group in the ever-competitive handset market.
