Capinordic A/S has today agreed with the Swedish GXG Global Exchange Group AB to sell all the shares in Dansk AMP A/S. The agreement is subject only to approval by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority. The transaction will not affect Capinordic's financial outlook for 2010. The reason for the sale is the Group's previously announced strategy to sell or discontinue its Danish activities. Swedish GXG Global Exchange Group AB develops marketplaces and sells technology and comprehensive electronic solutions for marketplaces for financial instruments. Nine companies are currently admitted to trading on Dansk AMP, the only regulated market in Denmark focusing on small and medium-sized enterprises, and the potential is very large. Mikael Rosenberg, VD of GXG Global Exchange Group AB: “We are very pleased with the acquisition of Dansk AMP. Our aim is to increase the attractiveness of Dansk AMP as a marketplace by introducing an electronic trading platform and adopting a new strategy for growth.” Henrik Kaspersen, CEO of Dansk AMP: “Equity is in high demand in these times, and Dansk AMP is looking forward to giving also small and medium-sized enterprises a real possibility of raising capital for growth and development. It will be natural for Dansk AMP to make a considerable contribution to the future further development of small and medium-sized enterprises, including privately owned enterprises facing a generational change. An initial public offering on Dansk AMP contributes towards professionalising an enterprise, and Dansk AMP therefore sees great opportunities for contributing to creating value for those particular enterprises. Together with the new owner, we have laid the foundations for the further development of Dansk AMP into becoming the preferred stock exchange for small and medium-sized enterprises." Yours sincerely Henrik Vad Group CEO Additional information: CEO, Henrik Vad +45 8816 3000, info@capinordic.com or VD, Mikael Rosenberg +46 8 545 179 90 info@gxgroup.se
