Today's extraordinary shareholders meeting of SwitchCore AB (publ) resolved, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to approve the transfer of assets, certain contracts, etc related to SwitchCore's operations to eSilicon Corporation. The transaction realizes the cash flow from the existing products and eliminates the business risks in anticipation of a future deal that provides SwitchCore with a profitable new business through an issue in kind. Such a future deal is required for the purpose of realizing the value of SwitchCore's accumulated tax deficits as well. The purchase price amounts to USD 3M in cash (corresponding to SEK 19.5M) of which USD 2M will be paid on the completion date and the remainder at the latest one year thereafter. The sale is intended to be completed by no later than tomorrow. The sale is conditional upon nothing having occurred (of which eSilicon has not been notified in writing) after the 17 November signing date that materially adversely affects SwitchCore's ability to transfer the assets to eSilicon as stipulated in the agreement. There are no such circumstances. The sale is not otherwise subject to conditions. For further information regarding the sale, please see the company's press release of 19 November 2007. The shareholders meeting further resolved, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to reduce the share capital by approx. SEK 117.7M to cover losses without redeeming shares. The sale to eSilicon and the reduction of the share capital duly address the shortage in the company's share capital, making it possible to present a new balance sheet for liquidation purposes at a future shareholders meeting (within the prescribed eight-month deadline from the AGM held June 14, 2007) that shows no such shortage and to resolve that the company not be liquidated. It also secures liquidity for SwitchCore in anticipation of a future deal that provides SwitchCore with a profitable new business through an issue in kind. A shareholders meeting for presentation of a new balance sheet for liquidation purposes and resolution that the company not be liquidated is preliminarily scheduled for 12 February 2008.
