Loomis acquires assets from the Finnish cash handling provider Ponsec

Loomis Suomi Oy, fully owned subsidiary of Loomis AB, has agreed to acquire
assets and customer contracts from the Finnish cash handling provider Ponsec
Finland Oy.

Loomis will acquire safes and vaults, together with customer contracts for cash
deposits in 17 shopping malls spread across Finland. The acquisition does not
include any take over of employees, but will support and constitute a base for
refinement of Loomis' existing operations in Finland. 

- Through the acquisition we establish our position as one of the two largest
cash handling companies on the Finnish market. To acquire safes and vaults in
shopping malls is consistent with our strategy to at a larger extent offer our
customers technically advanced safety solutions as a complement to cash
transports, which constitutes our core business, says Loomis' CEO Lars Blecko.

The acquired business will be consolidated in Loomis as of June 1st 2009 and
will be integrated in Loomis' Finnish subsidiary.
