Opcon announces outcome of offer made to Tricorona's shareholders

This press release may not, directly or indirectly, be distributed or published
in the United States, Australia, Japan, Canada, Switzerland or South Africa. The
offer is not directed to such persons whose participation is conditional upon
the performance of prospectus, registration or other procedures in addition to
those prescribed in Swedish law.


• Acceptances corresponding to around 2.8 per cent of all shares in Tricorona
have been received and Opcon will implement its offer.

• The acceptance period ended on 13 April 2010 and Opcon will not be extending
this period.


On 10 February 2010 Opcon submitted a public offer to the shareholders of
Tricorona. The offer was one (1) newly issued Opcon share for 6.5 Tricorona
shares (“The Offer”). On 13 April Opcon announced that it 
was waiving the condition of 30 per cent acceptance rate and that the Offer
would be implemented irrespective of the final acceptance amount. All other
conditions have also been waived. The acceptance period ended on 13 April 2010
and Opcon will not be extending the period.

During the acceptance period the Offer has been accepted by shareholders
representing a total of 4,076,828 shares, which corresponds to around 2.8 per
cent of the share capital and votes in Tricorona. Opcon is thereby expected to
become the 5-6 largest shareholders in Tricorona. Opcon has not acquired any
shares outside of this Offer.

Opcon intends to start making settlement around 19 April for those shares
submitted during the acceptance period.

“I would like to thank those Tricorona shareholders who like us have seen the
opportunities involved in developing the business as we proposed. I also believe
that when we as owners in Tricorona can sit down and discuss the future in a
calm way with other owners then most of them will perceive the considerable
potential to be found in closer co-operation. We would naturally have liked to
be a bigger owner in Tricorona than this and we will now assess other ways in
which we can increase our ownership in the long term,” says Mats Gabrielsson,
chairman of Opcon AB.
