Result of Hexagon's recommended unconditional cash offer for the shares in Veripos


Reference is made to the stock exchange notice from Hexagon AB on 20 December
2013 related to the recommended unconditional cash offer for the remaining
shares in Veripos Inc. (“Veripos”) not already owned by Hexagon Acquisition Ltd.
(the “Offer”), an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Hexagon AB (Hexagon AB
and Hexagon Acquisition Ltd. hereinafter jointly referred to as “Hexagon”), the
offer document related to the Offer dated 23 December 2013 (the “Offer
Document”) and the stock exchange notice from Hexagon on 29 January 2014
regarding the extension of the  acceptance period under the Offer until 16:30
CET on 7 February 2014.

At expiry of the acceptance period, Hexagon had received acceptances of the
Offer from shareholders holding 22,317,896 shares, representing 67.4 per cent of
the outstanding shares of Veripos. In addition, Hexagon owns 10,055,090 shares
in Veripos, representing 30.3 per cent of the outstanding shares of Veripos.
Accordingly, Hexagon owns and has received acceptances for 32,372,986 shares,
representing 97.7 per cent of the total shares in Veripos.

Please note that the result of the Offer is preliminary and may be subject to
adjustments, however, such adjustments (if any) are expected to be non-material.

Cash settlement of the Offer will be conducted on 18 February 2014.

As stated in the Offer Document, it is Hexagon’s intention, following settlement
of the Offer, to complete a compulsory acquisition of any minority shares in
Veripos not owned by Hexagon. Since Hexagon will own more than 90 per cent of
the shares of Veripos following the settlement of the Offer, Hexagon has, as
further stated in the Offer Document, various options available for executing a
compulsory acquisition under Cayman law. Further announcement regarding the
compulsory acquisition will be made in due course.
