Swedish shares



As announced in the notice to the Oslo Stock Exchange dated 11 July 2001, Visma's Board of Directors has decided to offer all holders of Visma shares registered in the VPC (the Swedish equivalent of the Norwegian Central Securities Depository, VPS) the opportunity to sell up to 400 Visma shares free of charge. The offer period lasts from 22 August to 12 September this year. It has been decided that the offer price will be set as the volume-weighted average of Visma's share price for the last five market days in the offer period.

The shareholders who are now receiving the offer to sell shares free of charge are primarily former SPCS shareholders who would have had to pay higher transaction costs as a result of the decision not to continue the listing on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. There is further information about the offer in the press release available on Visma's home page, www.visma.no, or www.spcs.se. The prospectus will be published on Visma's home page on 21 August 2001.
