Press Release

19 June 2014

Increased and extended offer

On 6 May 2014, Lexmark International Technology S.A. ("Lexmark International Technology"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lexmark International Inc. ("Lexmark"), announced a recommended public offer to the shareholders in ReadSoft AB (publ) (“ReadSoft” or the “Company”) to sell their shares in ReadSoft to Lexmark International Technology (the "Offer"). Lexmark International Technology offered SEK 40.05 in cash per share in ReadSoft.

Lexmark International Technology today announces an increase of its Offer price for all outstanding shares in ReadSoft in response to a SEK 42.86 competitive offer for the shares in ReadSoft that was announced by Hyland Software UK Ltd on June 18, 2014. The Offer price is increased from SEK 40.05 per share to SEK 43.00 per share, irrespective of share class. The acceptance period for the Offer is at the same time extended up to and including 14 July 2014 at 15.00 CET.

As announced on 10 June 2014, Lexmark International Technology has received the necessary competition clearance for completion of the Offer from the relevant competition authorities, and as a result, completion of the Offer is no longer conditional upon receipt of necessary clearance from authorities. All other conditions for the Offer remain as previously announced.

The increased offer price of SEK 43.00 represents a premium of:

• 133.7 per cent compared to the closing share price of SEK 18.40 per class B share in ReadSoft on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm on 5 May 2014, the last trading day before the announcement of the Offer;
• 141.3 per cent compared to the volume-weighted average share price of SEK 17.82 of the Company's class B shares on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm during the last three months prior to 5 May 2014; and
• 52.5 per cent compared to the fifty-two week high share price of SEK 28.20 of the Company's class B shares on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm during the last twelve months prior to 5 May 2014.

Based on the increased offer price, the total offer value for all shares in ReadSoft amounts to approximately SEK 1,315,960,992.[1]

Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement between Lexmark International Technology and ReadSoft which has been published in the Offer document, ReadSoft’s Board of Directors has agreed to continue to recommend in favor of Lexmark International Technology’s revised tender offer on the terms and conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement. In addition, the undertaking by ReadSoft’s two largest shareholders to accept the Offer on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer document extends also to Lexmark International Technology’s revised tender offer.

Shareholders who have already tendered their shares in the Offer and do not wish to withdraw their acceptance do not need to take any further action. The increase in the Offer price extends also to shares already tendered.

Settlement will begin as soon as Lexmark International Technology has announced that the conditions for the Offer have been satisfied or that Lexmark International Technology has otherwise resolved to complete the Offer. Assuming that such an announcement is made no later than around 16 July 2014, settlement is expected to begin around 21 July 2014.

Lexmark International Technology reserves the right to extend the acceptance period for the Offer, as well as the right to postpone settlement.

The Offer does not include the convertibles issued in May 2011, October 2011, April 2012 and April 2013 as part of ReadSoft’s incentive programs for employees. Outside of the Offer, Lexmark International Technology will offer the participants in the programs a reasonable treatment with respect to their holdings, with due regard to the increase of the Offer hereby announced.
