According to the section about Restrictions in the Voluntary Offer to acquire all of the shares in Tandberg Television, it was originally decided that the Voluntary Offer should not be open to any U.S. persons as defined by US Federal Securities Law or any shareholders residing in the US.  

Based on additional information made available to Ericsson and on advice from US legal counsels, Ericsson has notwithstanding the previous statement now decided that the Voluntary Offer will yet be open to US persons as defined by US Federal Securities Law, and to any shareholders residing in the US. This means that Ericsson will now arrange for the Voluntary Offer to acquire all of the shares in Tandberg Television to be distributed to such US shareholders and US residents, and that any and all tenders received under the Voluntary Offer from US shareholders or US residents will be accepted, subject to the terms and conditions of the Voluntary Offer.

The decision to open the Voluntary Offer to US shareholders and US residents will not require any further disclosure or information than stated above, and the decision is already in effect.
