“The transaction with Tech Data has proceeded according to plan and as of May 19
Scribona no longer conducts any operating activities. The transfer of operations
to Tech Data has been completed and Scribona has started an intensive effort to
liquidate its assets, liabilities and contract obligations as efficiently as
possible.” 
“The wind-down is expected to be largely completed during 2008 and will lead to
the conversion of receivables and liabilities to cash and cash equivalents. The
current expectation is that the net proceeds will be at least 5.60 SEK per
share. In our interim reports we will give an account of how the wind-down and
stockholder value are progressing,” says David Marcus, Chairman of Scribona.
“In August, the Board intends to report on Scribona's future strategic course.”
“Scribona's current CEO, Fredrik Berglund, will leave his post on June 1, 2008.
Board member Lorenzo Garcia will be responsible for the transition process that
lies ahead for Scribona, and will also take over the role of CEO. I would like
to thank Fredrik for his valuable contributions on behalf of Scribona,”
