As a result, Sto∂ir and the supervisory board of Keops have jointly decided that the remaining shareholders of Keops must allow their shares to be acquired by Sto∂ir pursuant to section 20b of the Danish Companies Act. The shareholders of the company are therefore invited to transfer their shares in Keops to Sto∂ir within a period starting 20 September 2007 and ending 19 October 2007. The shares will be transferred at a price of DKK 24 per share of DKK 1 nominal value each, and payment will be made in cash. Any brokerage fees and other selling expenses shall be paid by the selling Keops shareholders. The price offered corresponds to the price paid by Sto∂ir to the shareholders who have accepted the tender offer. The price is app. 9.1 per cent above the price quoted by OMX Nordic Exchange Copenhagen A/S for Keops on 28 June 2007, i.e. the day before the announcement of Sto∂ir's intentions to perform the takeover. All shares transferred to Sto∂ir in accordance with this notice must be free and clear of all charges and encumbrances of any kind. Please instruct the bank in which your shares are held in a custody account to transfer the shares to Glitnir Banki hf., Copenhagen Branch ("Glitnir").

In accordance with section 20b(2) of the Danish Companies Act you are advised that if you disagree on the acquisition price you may bring such price before experts who will then determine the price in accordance with the provisions of section 19(2) of the Danish Companies Act. Such experts will be appointed by the court of the jurisdiction of Keops's registered office. If the valuation made by the experts under section 19(2) of the Danish Companies Act results in a higher acquisition price than the one offered by Sto∂ir, such new price will also apply to shareholders who did not request a valuation. The costs of valuation will be borne by Sto∂ir unless the court finds special reasons for the minority shareholders in question to reimburse Sto∂ir's expenses in full or in part. Any minority shareholders who have not transferred their shares to Sto∂ir will be invited through advertisement in the Danish Official Gazette (Statstidende) to transfer their shares to Sto∂ir under section 20c of the Danish Companies Act within a period of three months. If any shareholder has not transferred its shares by the end of the three-month period, its shares will be registered in the name of Sto∂ir upon expiry of the said period.
