On 2 October 2006, JCE Group AB ("JCE") announced a public offer to the shareholders of Cybercom Group Europe AB ("Cybercom") to tender all shares to JCE for SEK 38 per share in cash (the "Offer"). On 21 November 2006, the final day of the acceptance period for the Offer, shareholders holding 3 313 498 shares in Cybercom, representing approximately 26.9 percent of the capital and the votes, had accepted the Offer.

At the announcement of the Offer, JCE held 1 784 945 shares in Cybercom representing approximately 14.5 percent of the capital and the votes. Thereafter, JCE has acquired 6 600 shares separately from the Offer representing approximately 0.1 percent of the capital and the votes. Together with the received acceptances, JCE holds 5 105 043 shares in Cybercom representing approximately 41.4 percent of the capital and the votes.

JCE has decided to complete the Offer and to declare it unconditional. All conditions to the Offer have been fulfilled or waived by JCE, wherefore the original conditions do not apply during the extended acceptance period. For the shareholders who have accepted the Offer during the initial acceptance period, settlement will commence around 28 November 2006.

To enable acceptance of the Offer for shareholders that have not yet accepted the Offer, JCE has decided to extend the acceptance period until 5.00 pm on 12 December 2006. For shareholders accepting the Offer during the extended acceptance period, settlement will commence around 19 December 2006. JCE may acquire additional Cybercom shares on the stock market.

Through a separate press release, JCE has today announced the completion of the offer to the shareholders of Semcon AB.
