issue of a maximum of 12,000,000 new shares with provisions for non-cash payment
or payment against set-off of claims or else on conditions enabling the waiving
of shareholders' preferential rights. The reason for permitting issues of new
shares waiving the shareholders' preferential rights is to enable
company/business acquisitions against full or part payment in the form of
shares. 

Should the authorization be fully exercised it would result in a dilution of
approx. 9.5 per cent based on the total number of shares after full exercise of
the authorization.

the President and other executives of the Company in accordance with the

The stock option program covers 500 000 stock options. Each option shall entitle
the holder to exercise from September 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010 to acquire one
new Anoto Group AB share at 150% of the weighted average latest quoted buy price
of the Anoto Group share during the period May 16th - May 31st.To exercise the
stock options, each key employee shall have met performance criteria decided by
the Board for the years 2007 - 2008. To cover possible social security
contributions an additional 150,000 stock options will be issued. These extra
stock options may be sold. 

The warrant program covers 500 000 warrants. Each warrant shall give a right to
subscribe for one share in Anoto Group AB at a subscription price amounting to
150% of the average latest price paid for the Company's share at
Stockholmsbörsen during the period from and including May 16, 2007 and May 31,
2007. For the warrants the employees shall pay a consideration corresponding the
theoretical market value at the time for the transfer calculated by an
independent part using the Black-Scholes valuation model. 

Assuming full exercise of the stock options and warrants above for subscription
of new shares, the Company's share capital will increase with SEK 23,000
implying a dilution corresponding to approximately 0.9% of the shares and the
votes of all shares in the Company.
