Securitas Systems has acquired G4S's German security systems operation G4S
Sicherheitssysteme GmbH. The purchase price amounts to MEUR 10 (MSEK 94) and the
acquisition will contribute positively to EPS as of 2009.

G4S Sicherheitssysteme GmbH is one of the five largest companies in the security
systems market in Germany. The company employs around 300 people and has twenty
branches spread across Germany. The focus is on the banking and finance sector
as well as the retail sector. Annual sales for 2007 amounted to approximately
MEUR 34 (MSEK 315) with about one third in service agreements. Securitas
Systems' German operation will, after the consolidation, have an approximate
turnover of MEUR 64 (MSEK 590) and 560 employees.

The operation is expected to be consolidated into Securitas Systems' accounts as
of May 2008, depending on the German antitrust authority handling time.
“With the acquisition, we will be the number three player and the largest
product independent systems integrator on the German market. We will strengthen
our service portfolio, reach critical volume and national coverage on the
largest market in continental Europe,” says Juan Vallejo, President and CEO of
Securitas Systems AB.
