Anoto Group AB negotiates unpaid debt with Livescribe

Lund, 7 January 2009 - At the beginning of 2007 Anoto phased out its operations
in the US,”Content and Applications”, by transferring the business unit to
Livescribe Inc. This agreement included amongst other things that the buyer was
to pay 2,5 MUSD by the end of 2008.

As a result of the delayed launch of Livescribe's “Pulse-pen” and difficulties
with a new share issue at the end of 2008, Livescribe has asked for a respite
for payment. Negotiations have started and a settlement is expected within a few
weeks.
