Snowman Technology Ltd. a wholly owned subsidiary to Fuijan Snowman, Co. Ltd.,

Ever since the summer 2011, the energy and environmental technology Group
Opcon’s Center of Excellence for compressor technology, Svenska Rotor Maskiner
(SRM), has built a closer cooperation with Snowman in China for development of
cutting-edge, energy-efficient cooling compressors for manufacturing in China.
In 2013, Hong Kong Snowman Technology Ltd. became a 10 % owner of Opcon and are
now increasing its ownership further. During 2013 Opcon’s sales of development
of compressor technology for Snowman tripled.

The rights issue aim at strengthening the development of the long-term strategic
cooperation that has been initiated and to tie both companies even closer
together. At the same time it strengthens Opcon’s financial position and helps
creating resources for present focus areas like the marine version of the Opcon
Powerbox.

“Our relationship with Snowman has been strengthened significantly during this
last year and we now plan for significant business with each other in the years
to come. Both regarding further development and as a result of the license
agreement already signed. But also in other areas where we want take the
technology we have developed to the Chinese market. With what we see of
Snowman’s plans and investments I believe this license agreement might be SRM’s
largest and most important one ever, where success for Snowman will mean success
for Opcon”, says Rolf Hasselström, President and CEO of Opcon AB.

“SRM’s technology is cutting-edge, world leading and an important part of our
offer to our customers. With our investment in Opcon we want to strengthen the
company and secure and build a foundation for long-term development of the very
good cooperation we have initiated where SRM and Opcon are and will be of
strategic importance to us. A state-of-the-art development of energy- and
environmental technology is of utmost importance for China and Snowman as a
company,” says Rujie Lin, President and Managing Director of Fuijan Snowman Co.
Ltd.

The price of the share issue was 0.57 SEK/share. The rights issue brings Opcon
17.100.000 SEK before costs.

The company’s share capital will increase by SEK 35.500.000. Since the
subscription price for the issue has been set at an amount below the shares’
nominal value, SEK 20.400.000 shall be transferred to the company’s share
capital through a transfer from shareholders’ equity.
