Fagerhult signs an agreement to acquire Lighting Innovations based in South Africa

In order to establish the Fagerhult Group in the South African market and in the
Sub Saharan region, Fagerhult has signed an agreement to acquire the assets of
Lighting Innovations based in Port Elisabeth, South Africa, including their
subsidiary companies Beacon Lighting and Arrow Lighting. The acquisition is
expected to have a positive effect on the earnings per share during 2016 and
forward.

The three companies have 210 employees and manufacture lighting fixtures and
solutions primarily for the indoor commercial sector. Typical application areas
include commercial offices, retail, hospitals and educational buildings. In the
year ending June 2015, the companies had a combined sales of approximately 13
MEUR.

“One key element of our strategy is to increase our market position in emerging
markets. With this acquisition we gain access to the South African market and
several interesting growth opportunities within the dynamic Sub Saharan Africa
region. I am also very pleased that Mr. Craig Waddell will remain with the
company in the position of Managing Director and continue to build on the strong
platform that he and especially his father, Mr. Bruce Waddell, has established
since founding the company”, comments Johan Hjertonsson CEO Fagerhult.

Fagerhult pays MEUR 8,6, on a cash and debt free basis, for the assets of the
three companies. The deal is expected to close in the 2nd half of 2015. An
additional earnout can be paid until 2018 tied to the company performance. The
transaction is financed with new credit facilities.
