Proffice and AstraZeneca plan to extend their relationship


Proffice has been appointed by AstraZeneca as its Managed Service Provider for
all staffing services for AstraZeneca's operations in Sweden. Based on this,
AstraZeneca and Proffice have agreed to enter into negotiations in order to
execute a formal agreement.
Proffice has been appointed Managed Service Provider by AstraZeneca and the
parties intend to enter into a Managed Service Provider agreement for a period
of five years with effect from spring 2013.

The partnership described above would also entail that Proffice would continue
to be one of the primary suppliers of staffing services to AstraZeneca.

AstraZeneca has also appointed Proffice to handle its holiday/intern workers in
2013, which is in addition to the appointment as Managed Service Provider, and
the parties have entered into negotiations in order to formalize such
assignment.

"We are extremely proud and pleased with the confidence AstraZeneca has shown in
us in this strategic cooperation," says Lars Kry, CEO, Proffice AB.
