Cision AB (publ) Annual General Meeting – Important information to shareholders

 

As announced on March 8, 2012 Cision has received a threat from a major US
publisher of a damages claim based on alleged infringement of rights.

As a consequence of the continuing uncertainty regarding the outcome of the
claim, the board of directors of Cision AB has considered the general rule of
prudence set out in Chapter 17 Section 3 of the Companies Act, and decided to
cancel the following of its proposals to the annual general meeting to be held
on March 26, 2012:

  · Proposal for a dividend of SEK 2 per share, corresponding to a total amount
of approximately SEK 30 million (item 11 on the proposed agenda);
  · proposal for a long term incentive plan (LTI 2012) (item 17 B on the
proposed agenda); and
  · proposal for an authorisation to the board of directors to resolve on
acquisitions of own shares (item 19 on the agenda).

The cancellation of the dividend proposal means that the board of directors
proposes, in respect of item 11 on the proposed agenda for the annual general
meeting, that the unappropriated earnings of Cision AB of SEK 617,336,277 should
be allocated as follows: Retained earnings of SEK 471,176,953, fair value
reserve of SEK -80,928,032, share premium reserve of SEK 136,493,405 and net
profit for the year of SEK 90,593,951 to be carried forward into new account.

The board of directors' proposals to the annual general meeting following the
above cancellation of certain of the proposals are available on Cision AB's
