28 August 2007<br />

Summary of Fairness Opinion issued in relation to the recommended merger<br />

between Komplett <strong>ASA</strong> and <strong>Torp</strong> <strong>Computing</strong> <strong>Group</strong> <strong>ASA</strong><br />

Introduction<br />

This opinion is prepared by SEB Enskilda <strong>ASA</strong> (Enskilda) and summaries Enskilda’s<br />

evaluation of the recommended merger between <strong>Torp</strong> <strong>Computing</strong> <strong>Group</strong> <strong>ASA</strong> (TCG) and<br />

Komplett <strong>ASA</strong> (Komplett) announced 18 June 2007.<br />

The Boards of Directors of TCG and Komplett have agreed upon a proposed exchange ratio<br />

whereby each TCG shareholder will receive 0.336134 Komplett shares for every 1 TCG<br />

share, representing 20.89% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis.<br />

Based on the closing prices as of Friday 15 June 2007 this gives an implied price per TCG<br />

share of NOK 45.37, representing a 14.9% premium on the TCG share price. However, it<br />

should be noted that the liquidity in the TCG share has been low, and on Friday 15 June 2007,<br />

only 400 shares with a total value of NOK 15,800 was traded. Komplett is listed on Oslo Børs<br />

and TCG is registered on the Norwegian OTC-list. The last 30 days average TCG share price<br />

prior to the announcement of the proposed merger was NOK 39.8 per share. The last 30 days<br />

average Komplett share price prior to the announcement of the proposed merger was NOK<br />

117.2 per share. After the announcement the Komplett share price has increased, and based on<br />

the last 30 days average Komplett share price of NOK 149.2, the exchange ratio implies a<br />

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

This is a summary of the more detailed Fairness Opinion provided to the Board of Komplett<br />

<strong>ASA</strong>.<br />

Reservations<br />

Our opinion is prepared on the basis of the mandate as financial advisor for the Board of<br />

Komplett in connection with a potential merger with TCG. We have endeavored to get a<br />

correct impression of Komplett’ and TCG’ operations and financial position, but have not<br />

performed any independent review or ”due diligence” investigation of the companies or its<br />

operations.<br />

This opinion has been prepared by Enskilda prior to 28 August 2007 and is mainly based on<br />

publicly available information for both TCG and Komplett. We have assumed and relied<br />

upon, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the information<br />

reviewed by us for the purposes of this opinion. We have relied upon and assumed the<br />

accuracy, completeness and fairness of all the financial and other information that was<br />

provided to the public by the companies. With respect to the input provided to us by the<br />

companies, we have assumed that it has been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the<br />

best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the companies as to<br />

the operating and financial performance of the companies. We have not assumed any<br />

responsibility for making an independent evaluation of any of the individual assets or<br />
