4.5 The Merger<br />

4.5.1 Merger Consideration<br />

100% of the consideration to the shareholders in TCG shall be settled with new shares in Komplett.<br />

The merger consideration shall thus be settled by the issuance of 0.336134 new shares in Komplett<br />

for each share in TCG and it is proposed in the Merger Plan that the Extraordinary General Meeting<br />

of Komplett to be held on 11 October 2007 passes the following resolution to increase the share<br />

capital:<br />

a) Komplett’s share capital is increased by NOK 3 501 118, from NOK 13 258 400 to NOK<br />

16 759 518, through the issue of 3 501 118 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 1.<br />

b) As consideration for the shares Komplett shall take over TCG’s assets, valued at NOK<br />

416 633 600 as per 17 June 2007, rights and obligations pursuant to the provisions in the<br />

Merger Plan.<br />

c) The new shares shall be allotted in full to the shareholders of TCG. The shareholders of<br />
