Subscription to stock-option program within PartnerTech closes

Subscription to stock-option program within PartnerTech closes The subscription period for the stock-option program that PartnerTech offered its employees during the spring of 2001 has now closed. In total, personnel have subscribed for 58,050 stock-options. Each stock-option permits the purchase of one share during the period April 2003 through March 2004. The subscription rate was SEK 19.73 per stock-option and the exercise price is SEK 165.20. In the event of full exercise of the stock-options, Partner Tech's shareholder equity can increase by a maximum of SEK 290,250, resulting in a dilution of approximately 0.7 percent of the registered shareholders' equity and voting rights in the company. Calculated together with existing stock- option programs, the corresponding dilution is approximately 4.0 percent. PartnerTech develops and manufactures electronics products under contract for leading growth companies, primarily in telecom infrastructure, IT/mechatronics, and medical equipment. The Group, which has some 900 employees in Sweden and abroad, is quoted on the Attract 40 list of the Stockholm Stock Exchange.
