Tesco chooses Pricer and Hebert Retail to deliver ESL platform and DotMatrix™
displays for new concept store 

In its capacity as issuer, Pricer AB is releasing the information in this press
release in accordance with the Swedish (2007:528) Securities Exchange Act. The
information was distributed to the media for publication at 4 p.m on Thursday
14th of February, 2008

Tesco has ordered today 2,750 DotMatrix™ ESL from Herbert Retail and Pricer to
be implemented by Herbert Retail in the dry-grocery department in April of 2008.
This follows an earlier commitment for 400 DotMatrix™ in the deli counter for
the same store. Tesco estimates that this technology will bring operational
efficiency by reducing printing costs and labor dependency, labor which can then
be redirected to servicing clients.

Tesco had earlier trialed another technology achieving some but not all of the
promised benefits. “We are pleased by the size of the order,” says Charles
Jackson, Pricer CEO. “It is a clear signal when Tesco considers Pricer
DotMatrix™ to be a mature scalable technology for their shelf edge display.”
DotMatrix™ ESL and signage are complementing most new Pricer ESL installations
in Europe and the US. They offer retailers the ability to update price and
information wirelessly in real time, and are especially suited for those product
categories where simple segment based ESL can not display all the information
required in an appealing  paper-like way. DotMatrix™ relies on bi-stable
electronic paper technology which requires little power but can offer a
pixel-based display.
Tesco has chosen two different formats of DotMatrix™ ESL, the DM 90 and DM 106
(referring to the active display diagonal of 90 mm or 106 mm).  The DM 90 will
be for dry-grocery while the DM 106 will be integrated into the deli counter.
