INFORMATION MEMORANDUM<br />

Merger of Komplett <strong>ASA</strong> and <strong>Torp</strong> <strong>Computing</strong> <strong>Group</strong> <strong>ASA</strong><br />

be issued. Such fractions will be aggregated and sold, and the net proceeds of a sale of the<br />

fractional shares will be distributed to the relevant holders in proportion to their fractional rights.<br />

Consideration shares will not be issued for Komplett’s or its subsidiaries’ shares in TCG (if any) nor<br />

for TCG’s own shares (if any). As at the date of this Information Memorandum, neither Komplett<br />

and its subsidiaries nor TCG own any shares in TCG and TCG owns no shares in Komplett.<br />

The new shares will be deemed to be subscribed for when the general meeting of TCG approves<br />

the Merger Plan, cf. Section 13-3, third paragraph, of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act<br />

and will be issued as of the completion of the Merger. Consideration for the new shares issued by<br />

Komplett will take the form of the completion of the Merger, cf. Section 13-17 of the Public Limited<br />

Liability Companies Act. At the time shares in TCG are exchanged for shares in Komplett, the<br />

shareholders will be registered in the share register of Komplett and the shareholders in TCG will<br />

accordingly acquire full shareholder rights in Komplett from said point in time. Registration as a<br />

shareholder in the Komplett share register is conditional on the TCG shareholder being registered<br />

in the TCG share register on the day that the Merger is completed (or that notification of the TCG<br />

shareholder’s acquisition of shares in TCG has been given to TCG or Komplett prior to or on the day<br />

that the Merger is completed).<br />

The new shares shall be allotted in full to shareholders in TCG. Shareholders in Komplett will<br />

therefore not have any preferential rights to subscribe for the shares. The new shares give the<br />

rights to any dividends resolved after the registration of the new shares in the shareholder register<br />

of Komplett in VPS.<br />

See section 5.7 for a description of the rights which will be attached to the shares in the Merged<br />

Company.<br />

Komplett is listed on Oslo Børs and TCG is registered on the Norwegian OTC-list. The last 30 days<br />

average TCG share price prior to the announcement of the proposed Merger was NOK 39.8 per<br />

share. The last 30 days average Komplett share price prior to the announcement of the proposed<br />

Merger was NOK 117.2 per share. After the announcement the Komplett share price has increased,<br />

and based on the last 30 days average Komplett share price of NOK 149.2, the exchange ratio<br />

implies a value of the TCG share of NOK 50.2 per share.<br />

4.5.2 Conditions for completion of the Merger<br />

Implementation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:<br />

a) Oslo Børs having confirmed that the listing of the shares in Komplett on Oslo Børs will be<br />

Plan and passed the resolutions required in this respect with the necessary majority.<br />

c) All necessary approvals and/or clearances from the Norwegian Competition Authority and<br />

on conditions which will not have a material adverse effect for the Merged Company.<br />

d) The parties have not undertaken, nor resolved to undertake, larger investments, changes<br />
