Hexagon’s bid for Leica Geosystems remains

Hexagon’s Board of Directors has decided that the company’s public offer for all publicly held shares in Leica Geosystems Holdings AG is to remain unchanged, despite the compet-ing bid for Leica Geosystems, made by the U.S. based company Danaher Corporation. The board reserves its right to change its position once the prospectus made by Danaher is published. Hexagon will continuously evaluate the new situation and its development during the offer period.
