Investor accepts Borse Dubai's improved offer for OMX

Borse Dubai today announced revisions to its previously announced offer for OMX,
including raising the bid level to SEK 265 per share and lowering the acceptance
level to 50 percent plus one share. In connection with the revised bid, Investor
has agreed to accept the offer. 

A price of SEK 265 per share corresponds to a market value of OMX of SEK 32
billion. During the 12-month period ending June 30, 2007, OMX generated a net
income of SEK 1.0 billion, implying a valuation multiple significantly higher
than the industry average.

Investor owns 12,950,507 shares in OMX representing 10.7 percent of the votes
and capital in the company. Upon completion the divestment will generate cash
proceeds of SEK 3.4 billion.

Investor's agreement with Borse Dubai will lapse in certain circumstances,
including if:

- A competing offer, which is not matched by Borse Dubai, is made with a value
of at least SEK 303 per share in OMX prior to the offer of Borse Dubai being
declared unconditional, or
- The offer of Borse Dubai is not declared unconditional on or before April 1,
2008, or 
- Any material condition of the offer is waived or changed in other respects
without Investor's approval.

“This is a very attractive deal for Investor's shareholders as we achieve a good
valuation on our investment in OMX while at the same time lowering the
completion risk. It also forms the basis for a sound industrial solution where
OMX, together with Nasdaq and Borse Dubai, can form a leading global exchange
platform,” commented Investor's CEO Börje Ekholm in a statement.
