Cidron Delfi Intressenter AB (“Cidron Delfi Intressenter”), an indirectly
wholly-owned subsidiary to Nordic Capital VII Limited, has on 31 January 2012
completed the public tender offer for Orc Group AB (publ) (“Orc” or the
“Company”). Cidron Delfi Intressenter controlled after the regular acceptance
period 95.5 percent of the shares in Orc and after the prolonged acceptance
period, which expired on 14 February 2012, 98.8 percent. Cidron Delfi
Intressenter has also notified the Board of Directors in Orc that they have
decided to initiate mandatory squeeze-out proceedings regarding the remaining
shares in the Company.

Based on the above, the Board of Directors of Orc considers that it is no longer
justified for the Company to remain listed and has therefore decided to request
that the shares of the company are delisted from NASDAQ OMX Stockholm. Last day
for trading in the Company’s shares on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm will be announced as
soon as the Company has received notice thereof from NASDAQ OMX Stockholm.
