NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION TO OR WITHIN AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN, THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, NEW ZEELAND OR SOUTH AFRICA

The European private equity-firm Triton has through a Swedish holding company,
Cyril Acquisition AB, in a press release today, April 30th, 2008, announced an
offer to acquire all shares and convertible participating debentures issued by
Cision AB (publ).

The board of directors of Cision has been approached by Triton prior to the
offer and considers Triton to be a dedicated acquirer with the ability to
complete the offer and capable of taking on full responsibility as a long term
active shareholder of Cision. Cision's board of directors has accepted a request
for a limited due diligence prior to the announcement of the offer. Thus,
certain non-public information regarding Cision has been disclosed to Triton, in
particular Cision's internal forecast for 2008, a summary of which is included
in Triton's press release as well as attached hereto.

It is ultimately a matter for the shareholders of Cision to evaluate the offer.
Cision's board of directors views it positively that the shareholders are given
an opportunity to consider the offer, and will now carefully evaluate the offer.
The board will, in accordance with applicable rules, announce its opinion with
respect to the offer in reasonable time prior to the end of the offer period.
The board of directors has appointed Lazard AB and Företagsjuridik Nord & Co AB
as its advisors.

Mr. Anders Böös, the chairman of the board of directors of Cision, who is also a
member of an Industry Board within Triton, has chosen not to participate in any
preparation or decision made by the board of directors of Cision in connection
with the offer.

As a consequence of the offer, Cision's board of directors will discontinue the
issuance of convertible participating debentures directed to key individuals
within the Cision group and, which was resolved by the annual shareholders
meeting 2008. The issue procedure requires, among other things, that pricing
takes place without being affected by a public offer.
