Today Lagercrantz Group has acquired all shares in the Swedish company Excidor

systems for mobile operator environments. The company’s solutions are primarily
found in forestry machinery, excavators and wheel loaders and generate combined
annual sales of just over MSEK 30 with good profitability.

“Excidor is one of the leading players in its niche in the Nordic region. The
business has displayed a stable and good performance for several years and the
company will be a strong new unit in the Communications division with its new
focus segment on control technology,” says Jörgen Wigh, President & CEO of
Lagercrantz Group.

Sören Byström, President and a former partner of Excidor: “With Lagercrantz as
owner, we get a financially strong and long-term owner, which means that we can
continue the development and expansion of the company with full force. We look
forward to the opportunity to develop the company as part of the Lagercrantz
Group.”

Excidor will form part of the Lagercrantz Communications division as from
February 2015. The acquisition is expected to generate a small positive addition
to the Group’s earnings per share on an annual basis.
