SIMTRONICS ASA – NEW DATE FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

On 16 April 2009 Simtronics announced that it had resolved to call for an Extraordinary General Meeting (the “EGM”) to be held on 30 April 2009. Due to an unfortunate error only the appendixes to the notice were submitted to the shareholders on 16 April 2009 and as a consequence the date for the EGM has been moved to 4 May 2009. The notice to the EGM with all the appendixes will be submitted to the shareholders today. The agenda for the EGM has not been changed and provided that the EGM resolves to carry out the proposed rights issue, the existing shareholders in Simtronics as per the date of the EGM shall have a preferential right to subscribe for shares in the rights issue and the shares are expected to be traded ex subscription rights from 5 May 2009.

The notice for the Extraordinary General Meeting is attached hereto and is also available with appendixes at www.simtronics.no.
