Transcom adopts merger plan in relation to the proposed re-domiciliation from Luxembourg to Sweden


Luxembourg, 21 July 2014 – As disclosed on June 27, 2014, Transcom’s Board of
Directors is convinced that the timing is now right for carrying out a re
-domiciliation of the parent company of the Transcom Group from Luxembourg to
Sweden, given the benefits of such a move for the Group and its shareholders.

The re-domiciliation will, subject to inter alia shareholder approval, be
executed through a statutory cross border merger between Transcom WorldWide S.A.
and its Swedish subsidiary Transcom WorldWide AB (publ), which will become the
new publicly listed parent of the Transcom Group.

Transcom’s Board of Directors today adopted the attached merger plan outlining
the terms of the merger between Transcom WorldWide S.A. and Transcom WorldWide
AB.

  · Through the statutory merger, the current parent company of the Group,
Transcom WorldWide S.A., will be dissolved when absorbed by its wholly-owned
Swedish subsidiary, Transcom WorldWide AB. Through this absorption, all assets
and liabilities of Transcom WorldWide S.A. will be transferred to Transcom
WorldWide AB.
  · The shareholders of Transcom WorldWide S.A. will, as merger consideration,
receive Ordinary Shares issued by the new Swedish parent Transcom WorldWide AB.
Thereby, as previously disclosed, one (1) new Ordinary Share will be issued for
each Class A Ordinary Share issued by Transcom WorldWide S.A. today, and one
point zero nine (1.09) new Ordinary shares will be issued for each Class B
Preference Share issued by Transcom WorldWide S.A today.
  · In addition to being conditional upon shareholder approval, the cross border
merger and re-domiciliation are also conditional upon the Ordinary Shares of
Transcom WorldWide AB being admitted to trading on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm.
  · When resolving on the merger consideration, as per the foregoing, the Board
of Directors has taken a number of factors into consideration, including the
market prices at which the Class A Ordinary Shares and the Class B Preference
Shares have been traded on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm, and the rights vested in the
Class A Ordinary Share and the Class B Preference Share. The Board of Directors
considers that the merger consideration has been determined in a diligent and
correct manner, observing applicable rules on equal treatment and that the
merger is beneficial to the Transcom Group and the shareholder collective.
  · In addition, the Board of Directors has relied upon a fairness opinion
issued by SEB Corporate Finance when determining the merger consideration.
  · Shortly after the completion of the cross border merger and re
-domiciliation, Transcom WorldWide AB intends to execute a 50:1 reversed split.
  · Due to the merger and the issue of new shares as merger consideration, a
merger document will be prepared and approved by the Swedish Financial
Supervisory Authority (the "Merger Prospectus"). Transcom expects to publish the
Merger Prospectus in early August 2014.
  · The final registration of the merger by the SCRO is expected to occur during
the fourth quarter 2014, subject to approval at a general meeting of the
shareholders of Transcom WorldWide S.A. and Transcom WorldWide AB. An
Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company's shareholders is planned to take
place at the beginning of September 2014, with convening notices planned to be
made public on or around July 28, 2014.
  · The last day of trading in Swedish Depository Receipts, representing shares
in Transcom WorldWide S.A., on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm is expected to be two
trading days prior to the final registration of the Merger, and the first day of
trading in the Ordinary Shares of Transcom WorldWide AB on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm
is expected to be on or about the day occurring two days after the final
registration of the Merger. More detailed information on this will be made
public in advance when such information is available.
  · Costs related to this project are estimated at €1.1 million, and were
recorded in the second quarter of 2014. The expected write-down of tax assets as
a result of a re-domiciliation, as communicated in November 2011, is no longer
applicable. From a shareholder tax perspective, no immediate direct tax costs
would be expected for the shareholders in Sweden.

Transcom WorldWide S.A. has been listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm since September
6, 2001. A large majority of the Company’s shareholders are based in Sweden and
the share of the Company’s capital that is held by shareholders in Sweden
amounts to approximately 80 percent.
