Compensation to the shareholders who have accepted the offer

The appraisal of the value in the offer shall be based on the market situation when Teligent announced completion of the Offer. At this point of time, the Offer was equivalent to a value of 2,57 SEK per share in Trio.

Upon completion of the agreement entered into on June 14th shareholders in Trio who have accepted the Offer will receive a compensation of 0,15 SEK for each share in Trio that has been submitted in the Offer.
