Proposals to election of Board Members of IBS AB

Proposals to election of Board Members of IBS AB 

Deccan proposes election of Christian Paulsson and that the appointment of Bo
Pettersson and Fredrik Svensson as Board members shall be terminated.


Following their public offer to the shareholders of IBS, Deccan Value Advisors
Fund L.P., Deccan Value Advisors Fund Ltd., A/D Value Fund L.P. and Y/D Value
Fund L.P. (“Deccan”) have requested a shareholders' meeting for appointment of
Board members. The Board has convened an Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting
which will be held on September 5, 2008.

The Nomination Committee presently comprises George Ho (Chairman of the
Committee), Deccan Value Investments, Henrik Strömbom, Case Asset Management,
Rikard Svensson, Arvid Svensson Invest, Rishi Bajaj, Silverpoint Capital and IBS
chairman Pallab Chatterjee.
As Case Asset Mangement, Arvid Svensson Invest and Silverpoint Capital have sold
their shares in IBS the majority of the members of the Nomination Committee no
longer represent shareholders of the company. Deccan has therefore chosen to
present a proposal of its own without involving the entire Nomination Committee
and Deccan has also chosen to withdraw from the Nomination Committee until a new
Nomination Committee is appointed in accordance with the principles resolved at
the latest Annual General Meeting.

Deccan has now informed the company of its proposals to the Extraordinary
Shareholders' Meeting as follows. The Board of Directors presently comprises
Pallab Chatterjee (chairman), Vinit Bodas, Gunnel Duveblad, George Ho, Bo
Pettersson, Bertrand Sciard, Fredrik Svensson and Ann-Mari Öhman (employee
representative).

Deccan proposes that the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting resolves that the
Board of Directors shall consist of six Board members appointed by the
Shareholders' Meeting; that the appointment of Bo Pettersson and Fredrik
Svensson as Board members shall be terminated; and that Christian Paulsson be
appointed as member of the Board of Directors for the period until the close of
the next Annual General Meeting. 

Christian Paulsson is 33 years old. He is Managing Director and head of
corporate finance at Lage Jonason AB and has previously worked at i.a. Mangold
Fondkommission AB and Alfred Berg Fondkommission AB. He is a member of the board
of directors of Invisio Headsets AB, Spirits of Gold AB and Lage Jonason AB. For
further information regarding Christian Paulsson, visit www.ibs.net.

If the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting resolves in accordance with Deccan's
proposal the new Board will comprise Pallab Chatterjee (chairman), Vinit Bodas,
Gunnel Duveblad, George Ho, Christian Paulsson, Bertrand Sciard, and Ann-Mari
Öhman (employee representative).
