IBS declares strategic discussions terminated

STOCKHOLM, April 7, 2010 - IBS communicated on 8 January 2010 that strategic
discussions were ongoing, subsequent following initiatives from third parties
who contacted the Board of Directors of IBS and indicated an interest to acquire
all or parts of IBS. These strategic discussions have now come to an end. There
are no other such discussions ongoing. 

To support operational focus and improvement the Board of Directors made two
major changes, first, sale of three smaller local businesses within IBS. The
businesses sold were Consist in the Netherlands, the Automotive products in
Australia and finally a very small payroll business in Denmark. Second, the
Board has resolved to incorporate each of the business areas within the IBS
Group into separate legal entities. The new incorporated business areas will be
Enterprise, Iptor and Bookmaster, each with its own unique customer base and
offering.  
IBS will now put full focus and effort into the continued improvement of the
remaining business lines.
