Increased cash offer from Hyland Software UK

On 18 June 2014, Hyland Software UK Ltd. (”Hyland UK”), a company controlled by
Hyland Software, Inc., announced a cash offer to the shareholders of ReadSoft AB
(publ) (”ReadSoft” or the “Company”) to transfer all shares in the Company to
Hyland UK at a price of SEK 42.86 in cash per share.

Prior thereto, on 6 May 2014, Lexmark International Technology S.A. (“Lexmark
International Technology”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lexmark International
Inc., had announced a cash offer to the shareholders in ReadSoft, whereby
Lexmark International Technology offered SEK 40.05 in cash per share. In
connection with the offer, ReadSoft entered into a transaction agreement with
Lexmark International Technology, which has been disclosed in its entirety in
Lexmark International Technology’s offer document. The agreement includes i.a. a
provision that the Company shall not conduct discussions or negotiate with any
other party regarding a competing offer or otherwise support such offer unless
this represents at least 7 percent higher value for the shareholders than the
offer or a revised offer from Lexmark International Technology.  Hyland UK’s
offer of 18 June 2014 represented a premium of 7 percent compared to Lexmark
International Technology’s offer.
On 19 June 2014, Lexmark International Technology increased the price in its
cash offer to SEK 43.00 per share in the Company.
Yesterday, Hyland UK announced an increase of its offer price to SEK 45.00 in
cash per share. Hyland UK’s increased offer represents a premium of 4.6 percent
compared to Lexmark International Technology’s increased price of SEK 43.00.
Hyland UK states in its press release that the acceptance period, as previously,
is expected to commence around 11 July 2014 and end around 5 September 2014 with
expected settlement around 10 September. Hyland UK further repeats that its
offer document is expected to be made public shortly before the commencement of
the acceptance period.
It follows from Hyland UK’s press release that, since the announcement of its
offer, Hyland UK and its majority shareholder have acquired shares corresponding
to about 7.9 percent of all outstanding shares in ReadSoft and that, as stated
in Hyland UK’s press release on 18 June 2014, shareholders in ReadSoft with a
holding representing about 3.1 percent of all outstanding shares in the Company
have, pursuant to agreements with Hyland UK, unconditionally and irrevocably
undertaken to accept the offer, altogether meaning that Hyland UK controls about
10.9 percent of all outstanding shares in ReadSoft.
ReadSoft’s board of directors intends to not later than two weeks prior to the
expiry of the acceptance period of Hyland UK’s offer announce its opinion of the
offer, and reasons for this opinion.
