customer segments, geographical markets and product areas,” says Jörgen Wigh,
President and CEO of Lagercrantz Group.

Jan Söderberg, GasIQ’s CEO and founder: “GasIQ has performed strongly over the
years. With Lagercrantz, GasIQ gets a financially strong and long-term owner,
which will provide even greater opportunities to continue the strong development
and expansion of the company.”

GasIQ will form part of the Lagercrantz Communications division. The acquisition
is expected to generate a small positive addition to the Group’s earnings per
share on an annual basis.
