New issue in Morphic
As reported in connection with the announcement of Morphic's acquisition of 80
percent of the shares of ScanWind on June 9, 2008, the Board of Directors of
Morphic Technologies AB (publ) (“Morphic”) has today, September 19, 2008, taken
a decision to carry out new issue with preferential rights to the company's
shareholders. The decision is based on the authorization granted to the Board of
Directors at the company's Extraordinary General Meeting on July 10, 2008. 

The company's shareholders will be entitled to subscribe for 1 (one) new share
for every 1 (one) existing share held in Morphic at a price of SEK 2.40 per
share. A-shares entitle the holder to subscribe for new A-shares and B-shares
entitle the holder to subscribe for new B-shares. As regards the right to
subscribe for A-shares, the Board will present a proposal to the Annual General
Meeting for an adjustment of the company's Articles of Association that will
enable full allocation of such subscription rights. If the rights issue is fully
subscribed, Morphic's share capital will increase to SEK 13,109,762 and the
total number of shares will increase to 327,744,044. At full subscription, the
rights issue will raise SEK 393m for Morphic before issue costs. 
Background and reasons in summary
Morphic is a corporate group operating in three core areas: wind power, energy
systems and fuel cells. The wind power business area, Morphic Wind, is the
largest in terms of turnover and had an order book worth SEK 738m at the end of
July 2008, compared with the Group's total order book at the same date of SEK
1,022m.
 A key element of Morphic's long-term growth strategy is to make important
complementary acquisitions. The acquisition of ScanWind has broadened Morphic's
product portfolio in wind power, putting the Group in a strong position to
establish itself in new markets. ScanWind manufactures and markets wind turbines
with outputs of 3.5 MW and higher that are specially designed for extreme wind
conditions and tough climates. In connection with the acquisition, Morphic
signed a statement of intent with Vattenfall on cooperation for further
development of ScanWind's 3.5-MW turbine for offshore locations. The acquisition
enables significant synergies, primarily in development and sales, as well as in
sourcing of components.

The consideration paid was NOK 189m and the seller was Nord Trøndelag
Elektrisitetsverk AS. The acquisition was funded initially with bank loans and
existing liquidity. The reason for the pending new issue is to apply the
proceeds to redeem acquisition credits, partly comprising an SEK 93m loan, and
redeposit of SEK 104m temporarily withdrawn from funds deposited in the Group's
bank account relating to wind power transactions. Another reason for the issue
is to increase working capital to fund the continued development of the wind
power and other core businesses. The rights issue will enable the company to
ensure balanced growth in its initial commercialization phase, gradually
increasing revenues and strengthening the company's order book. A key objective
in this phase will be to ensure optimal cost efficiency by adapting the
organization to the market's demand for Morphic's products.

Commitments from major shareholders and underwriting agreements
The Board of Directors estimates that 100 percent of the rights issue has been
secured through a combination of subscription commitments, statements of intent
from shareholders and underwriting agreements.

New shares in Morphic may be used in payment of the underwriting fees. Based on
the authorization granted to Morphic's Board of Directors at the Extraordinary
General Meeting on July 10, 2008, new shares of series B may be issued on one or
several occasions before the next Annual General Meeting without preferential
rights for existing shareholders and paid by offset. The authorization may only
be used for payment of underwriting fees in connection with the issue of new
shares. The number of new shares that may be issued in this manner will depend
on Morphic's share price at the time of the offset issue.
