Events after the end of period - preferential rights issue
Micronic conducts a new share issue with preferential rights for existing
shareholders. The main purpose of the new share issue is to ensure the funding
of development and marketing of the company's LDI system. The new share issue
is expected to raise about SEK 245 million before transaction expenses.
Existing shareholders have undertaken to subscribe for shares in total
representing approximately 42 percent of the new issue. Intel Capital, Intel's
global investment organization, has undertaken to subscribe for shares that
would otherwise not have been subscribed to a maximum value of SEK 80 million
under certain conditions and in line with certain terms, including a
subscription level of at least SEK 160 million. The decision on a new issue was
taken at the EGM on April 12.

Future outlook    
Pro forma sales in 2009 amounted to just over SEK 1 billion. The Board's
earlier assessment that total sales in 2010 will exceed this level somewhat
remains unchanged.

CEO comments
A lot of resources were spent during the quarter on the work to integrate
Mydata and Micronic. Administrative functions such as finance, IT and HR have
been merged. A joint development and a production organization have been
created. The sales and service organizations for the two business areas will
continue to be
separate. The office in Täby has been adapted in line with the new company, and
Mydata's relocation from Bromma is for the most part concluded. The process is
following a well-defined plan and will be completed by June 23. The identified
savings from the merger will be over SEK 60 million annually, of which around
SEK 30 million will be forthcoming this year.  The AGM resolved to change the
company name to Micronic Mydata AB (publ.).

An agreement with Intel on the development of our future product LDI has been
reached, and Intel has placed an order for an initial LDI system. To ensure the
funding of this development work, we are conducting a new share issue of SEK
245 million.

Projections for the display market have improved and we are seeing increased
demand for photomasks. We also received an order in the quarter for a
Prexision-10 system. The market for surface mount equipment (SMT) has gained
momentum and we have enjoyed an increase in orders, particularly towards the
end of the period.
