Bure´s portfolio company Micronic Laser Systems conducts a rights issue to
capture new market opportunity

Micronic Laser Systems (Micronic) conducts a rights issue with preferential
rights for existing shareholders. The rights issue will finance the development
of new products for applications in electronic packaging. The development is
performed in cooperation with Intel Corporation (Intel). Bure will subscribe for
its pro rata share of the rights issue, about SEK 91 million.

•	Micronic has announced it has entered into an agreement with Intel to develop
laser based lithography solutions in electronic packaging, so called Laser
Direct Imaging (LDI) and that Micronic also has received a purchase order from
Intel for one LDI system.

•	In order to secure financing for the development of this new market
opportunity Micronic has decided to carry out a SEK 240 million rights issue
with preferential rights for existing shareholders. The rights issue is subject
to shareholder approval at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on April
12, 2010.

•	Bure will subscribe for its pro rata share of the rights issue, about SEK 91
million. The Securities Council has granted Bure an exception from the mandatory
bid requirement in connection with the rights issue.

•	Intel Capital, Intel´s global investment organization, has undertaken to
subscribe for shares that have not otherwise been subscribed for up to a maximum
of SEK 80 million, subject to certain terms and conditions.

“Working with Intel, Micronic will continue to develop tools that provide the
optimal solution for the electronic packaging industry. This production market
we are entering is larger than our present market for pattern generators.” says
Peter Uddfors, CEO of Micronic Laser Systems, in Micronic's press release.

“This is an exciting opportunity for Micronic with large potential. It is also
positive that the product development is performed in close cooperation with the
companies´ customers” says Patrik Tigerschiöld, CEO of Bure Equity AB.s
