Final outcome of review of acceptances received in ESML Intressenter’s Offer to the shareholders in Securitas Direct

The offer is not being made (nor will any tender of shares be accepted from or on behalf of holders) in any jurisdiction in which the making of the offer or the acceptance of any tender of shares therein would not be made in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction. The offer is not being made, directly or indirectly, in or into Australia, Canada, Japan or South Africa.

The final review of acceptances received at the end of the acceptance period on 14 March 2008 have resulted in that 226,248,018 shares of series B and warrants representing 7,170,000 shares of series B had been tendered into the Offer. This corresponds to an insignificantly higher number of shares and warrants than presented when the preliminary review was made public on 17 March 2008 when the Offer was declared unconditional. The percentage calculations then presented remain unchanged.

For shareholders who have accepted the Offer, settlement will as previously communicated be initiated tomorrow on 20 March, 2008.
